BrOnCS Here
10
Outstanding Teams Play
For Championship of
Western Division
HAMILTON'S BRONCS
HAVE GOOD RECORD

The Hamilton Broncs, who are
coming here on Saturday, Novem-
Der Is, to meet the Libby Terriers
for the Western Division football
championship, have an impressive
record for the season. The Broncs
have been winners in six of eight
games played, and are the cham
pions of the tough Bitterroot league
in Ravalli county. The Hamilton
team defeated Corvallis twice by
scores of Is to 0 and 25 to o. Darby
q to 0, Stevensville A to 0, and
broke even with Victor, winning the
first game 6 to 0 and losing the
second II to g. The Broncs also,
split with the Missoula "B" team,
winning the first game 81 to 6 and
losing the second 20 to 7 to a very
much improved MissOula team
Coaching the Hamilton team is
former Missoula high school star,
Larry Cub" Potter who made quite
a name for himself as a football,
basketball and track performer
while attending high school and
later was very prominent in base
ball circles throughout the state.
Potter also Put in several seasons
with the semi-pro Pocatello, Idaho
baseball team in the Pioneer League,
ranking among the leading hitters
of that league. During the war
Potter served with the armed for
ces, and upon discharge applied for
the Hamilton coaching post. He is
new to the high school coaching
game and this is his first year as
a schoolboy mentor Potter is
hard playing athlete of the never
give up" type and if his team is any
reflection of his spirit and attitude
the Hamilton Broncs will be very
hard team to beat on Saturday af-
ternoon.
Since the Class "B" setup was
for the smaller schools of
the State in 1880, Hamilton has been G
in title games on four occasions.
Hamilton defeated Poison in 1885 e
