BELT BUCKLE ' GREAT FALLS AT BELT This was the last game of our schedule and for five men the last of their high school days. The Belt squad was crippled to start with. Florek, towering tackle, was out of the game. Salo, a sub-end, replaced him and played a good game. Belt started with a rush, recovering a fumble and completing a pass for fifteen yards before Great Falls woke up. A few minutes later Irvine smashed through the line for a touchdown. Beets added the extra point. A little later, on a completed pass, Beets to Klimas , Belt got her second touchdown of the game. Great Falls had the best of the argument the second half scoring one touchdown. They started a drive that ended within one yard of Belt's goal, but were stopped there just as the gun sounded. The Belt squad was made up of returns and the following is the clas- sification of each: Bundy Harcharick, three year lettermang Slippery Johnson, three year lettermang Bill Remington, three year lettermang Beets Johnson, three year lettermang Liz Ford, three year letter- mang Howard Wixon, two year lettermang Ed Florek, two year letter- mang Pick Bodner, one year lettermang Chuck Klimas, one year let- termang Mutt Leland, one year lettermang Art Nordquist, one year letterman and Ball Salo, one year letterman.

BELT BUCKLE Quarter Back and Captain--Myron Beets Johnson was at the passing end of passes and tried, always, to get the ball into the arms of his ends. Beets is a three year letterman and will not report next year. Left Halfback- Mutt . Leland was the shortest and smallest fellow on the outfit. He was very good at rolling into his opponents and taking them out. Mutt will make better next year. Watch his dust! Right Halfback-James Jim Irvin was the only freshman and cer- tainly did his part in all the games. He will do better in the future. How about it Jim? Yes or No ? Right Tackle-Walfred Balfry Salo got in only a few games, but he showed up well. He will do better next year. Full Back-Sigurd Slippery Johnson was the best line smasher we had and always had a cool head. Slips has played his last year for B. V. H. S. and surely will be heard of in College. W Bill Remington played against Great Falls and fractured his skull, which put him out for the remainder of the football year. Bill was a good kicker and very accurate. This is Bill's last year in High School. Subs-Mike Mickey Kennedy, sub quarter, James Jim Provin, sub lineman, Ben Hirano, sub back, Clarence Snap Jewell, sub end and Leo Red Beaudry will all be back next year to earn their letters. Their work this year was responsible for the good work of the regulars.

GREAT FALLS SECONDS AT GREAT FALLS The first game of the season was played at Great Falls versus Great Falls Seconds. The game was interesting and signs of football were shown. The score at the half was 6 to 6. The score at the end was 13 to 7 in Great Falls' favor. There were a number of injuries, Bill frac- tured his skull 3 Beets broke his nose 3 Jim broke a few ribs and many received blood poisoning. All the men felt that training was necessary. CHOTEAU AT FAIRFIELD The following week-end game was posted at Fairfield. The Choteau squad came down determined to win and did. They were considerably heavier and could make from ten to fifteen yards through Belt's line at any time. The game ended with a score of twenty-five to six. Belt was the first to cross Choteau's line for two years. FORT BENTON AT FORT BENTON ' The week following Choteau's game we had to motor seventy miles and play the Fort Benton eleven. Their team was more of a match to our squad and we won with a score of thirteen to six, showing the team what a victory was like. s s s r' ' 'wf l928 ff 'efw-Aww wwf-'H--W' snag? l ft fill
