BULLDOGS LOSE
TO ROUNDUP 1877
Fumbles Nor Excellent
TedmpldY Of Locals

Fumbles and inability to
handle passes cost the Hardin
Bulldogs a heartbreaking de-
feat at the hands of Roundup
high school by a score of 10 to
7 last Friday in the mining city.
Hardin had three scoring
opportunities that went glim-
mering at the crucial moment
because of fumnling, said Coach
Hugh Gotham. The local team
is not a fumbling team, but last
Friday a bad case of the filters
seemed to hold the ball hand
lers at critical times in the play.
The Bulldogs first scoring
chance came when they held
Roundup on her own 80 yard
marker. Roundup lined up for
a kick and the center made a
bad pass over the kicker's mead.
Hardin recovered on the Round
up IL. On the first play Hardin
fumlbled and Roundup recover
ed, Immediately kicking out of
danger.
Another Hardin tumble led
directly to one of Rouncup's
scores. Hardin fumbled on their
own Is, Roundup recovering
and scoring a few moments
later.
Hardin showed a greatly i'm
proved pass defense, said Cot
tam. One of Roundup's scores
was via the aerial route, bill
Hardin showed a much more
heads-up pass defense. Hardin's
score was also the result of q
pass from the Roundup 10 yard
line across the goal.
Gotham said ne vas really
pleased with the general play Of
,, the entire team. They were in
there trying every minute but
just didn't click when the scor-
ing chances came, he said. The
Bulldogs played Roundup on
more even terms, rolling up
more first downs and more
! yards from scrimmage.
The locals final game of the
season, with Red Lodge on the
home grounds, will be played
on Friday, Nov. 10, at 2:30 pm,
said Gotham.
