The Libby Terriers won the Yves
tern Division Championship Satur
day afternoon defeating the stub
born Hamilton Broncs 81 to 0. On
of the largest crowds in Libby foot
ball history saw the game which
was played under ideal weathe
conditions. Both teams put up
tight defense and few gains of any
length were made through the line
OF either team. Libby resorted t.
passing attack for the first time
this season and connected on sew
eraI losses to decide the game in
favor of the Terriers. Hamilton's
passing attack which had been one
of their major offensive weapons
IN previous games was effectively
bottled up by the alert Libby de-
tense.
Libby kicked off to Hamilton to
start the game. A BrOnc tumble
was recovered on the Hamilton Is
by Nelson. Hamilton recovered a
tumble on the 7 to stop the first
Libby chance to score. Soon after
ward AdamSon threw a pass to Roll
seth over the goal line to score
the first touchdown. On the first
play following the kickoff Roy,
Bronc back, broke loose for IS yards
to put the ball on the Libby 35.
The terriers stopped the threat on
their own q. An exchange of punts
followed, Libby taking the ball on
their own AZ and drove to the Ham
llton where the attack begged
down. Hamilton could not get out
of the hole and lost the ball when
Adamson intercepted a Bronc pass
on the 50. A pass Adamson to Rol- /
seth was good for IS yards and a
touchdown. A short Hamilton punt
following the kickoff set Libby up |
Tor the next touchdown. Adamson
went around left end for the last
Is yards and the touchdown. The
half ended Is to 0 for Libby. In
the third quarter the Broncs made
a determined bid to score, punch II
ing their way to the Terrier 13 be-
fore being held for downs. A series
OF penalties against both teams and
Libby kicked out of danger. Ham {
llton started back into Libby ter ,
rltory and was stopped on the Ter |
rler AZ kicking to the Libby %. I
then broke loose around
end and raced down the side line r
