Col. FaI|s-Ronan Play Here Friday

NOluIuDld ais WuOCdtS-tnc Team
lis considerably more gentle than
the name indicates on the
Roman Chiefs here Friday at p. m.
1t is the first home game.
Roman defeated Libby last week
end 80 to following a 1912 loss
to Loyola, Missoula Catholic high.
Columbia Falls lost to Whitefish
81 to 0 and to Poison last Friday
80 to s.
Weight and experience for both
Columbia Falls and Poison teams
were about the same last Friday.
Major difference was the will to
win and the winning tradition.
Poison was last years conference
champions and completed the regular
season undefeated in 80 starts.
Now light and not particularly
experienced Poison team is follow
ing the winning pattern.
Columbia Falls last year won
from Libby 1876, tied with Eureka
1919 and lost to st. Ignatius 1877,
Whitefish 1876 and Poison 200. More
football tradition Twill to VIM here
could have easily made the spark
of difference on the rs, 1919 and
1877 scores.
Another local football problem is
the lack of interest in the sport by
adults of the community. A lighted
field would help correct this sit
uation.
/ In basketball Columbia Falls since
1945 has won approximately half the
games with Whitefish. In football
the best we remember is a 0 to
score about five years ago.
Last weekend saw WhitefiSh take
class B conference newcomer Thomp
son Falls 40 to 0.
