the river tried hard but were not
equal to the Terriers. The Libby
team scored almost at will during
the first half, running up 80 points.

tended up and held the Terriers to
l9 points, playing the Libby line
on even terms for a large portion
Of the half The Terrier backs
were running hard and went for
long gains due to the inability of
the Lions to connect on their tack
les and to hold the ball carrier
after making the tackle. Libby in
reference on offense was not up
to par, failing to clear the way as
efficiently as in past games. The
hard running of the backs broke
them loose for the gains. Meuli

for the Eureka team, passing well
and making Eureka's gains.
