To Play Here Friday

CONO0 oH0ao lAOlaA
Laurel made a successful debut in
to class A competition last Friday
when by winning over a highly ia
vored Butte Central eleven to the
tune of 6 to 0. Laurel scored late
in the final quarter on an intercept
ed pass by half-back Paul Void
who raced Is yards to pay dirt.
Butte's only major threat to score
came in the fourth period when Meg
len raced off tackle for a first
down on the Laurel five. A flat
pass to the end was intercepted by
Jim Phillips who galloped 80 yards
to the 10 yard line only to trip
over a teammate who was running
interference. Laurel's attempt 70
push the ball over failed and Butte
took over on downs. Three running
plays picked up only six yards as
the stellar work of the Locomotive
linemen continued as it had through
out the game. The attempted punt
was blocked, but the play was null
lifted by an offside penalty against
and Butte had another first
and ten. With but minutes to play
the Central Maroons made their fin
al effort to pull the apparent tie
game out of the fire by passing
and tossed another flat one that was
Intercepted by the fleetfooted Void
who continued to the goal line. The
attempted try for point went wide.
Although Outgained by the Mar
)ons On the ground the locomotives
lefense was too much for Butte and
never permitted any drives to set up
| serious threat but once. On the
'ther hand Laurel was pushing the
opponents goal line on several oc-
,asions when a hard charging line
would recover Butte fumbles, but
ZACH time the offense would bog
Town. Then after a well played game
hat seemed destined to end in q
lie, everything happened and a sure
umble and another tie game, only
o change again into a touchdown in
he closing minutes.
The effectiveness of the charging
actics of the line was shown in the
i've fumbles by Butte that were re-
overed by Laurel.
