However, from a different viewpoint it shows itself in an entirely different aspect. When you consider the number of veterans developed during the sea- son for future use, one must of necessity realize that the season was not as much of a disaster as it seems upon first sight. The Hawks throughout the season showed up poorly, probably due to the inexper- ience and size of the athletes which Coach Jason Preston was able to get to come out for the sport. In their first game, a game in which they played Whitehall, they eked out a narrow 13-12 victory by intercepting a pass. Whitehall was the only weak team that Gallatin played in their entire schedule. They lost by large margins to Billings, Anaconda and twice to Livingston, the teams who placed one, two, three in the south- ern district football. ln addition to this they lost to Helena, a team which captured second place in the northern district. lmprovcment is evidenced toward the end of their season by the way they power- housed in two scores in the second game with Park. lt, however, was not enough, They lost 13-41. The sz-ore in the game with Anaeonda was 47-0, against Helena, 46-0: against Billings 62-Og and in the two games with Livingston they lost one by 25-05 the other by -ll-fl, 'lhcy won their only game in the B class from Whitehall by a I3-I2 count. 63

No 1-lass had a complete team in the tournament. Players were taken from teams not participat- ing in order to complete the lineups. The seniors above pictured stepped into a class football championship by victories over the sophomores and the juniors. The tournament proceeded through its entire length without mishapq the classes placed in this respective order: seniors first, juniors second, sophomores third. and freshmen fourth. The seniors and sophomores seemed to have very evenly matched elevens. Two breaks in the early part of the contest gave the seniors their 9-0 triumph, In the senior's second game they outplayed a hard fighting junior eleven 18-0 to capture first in the tournament. Although the score in the championship game makes it seem like a very uneven contest. it was not until the final period in which the seniors scored two of their three touchdowns. The juniors earned their way into the championship by a 7-0 victory over the frosh. In the conciliation the frosh lost to the sophomores 14-19 in a six-man game. This intramural football schedule is the first ever to be held here at Gallatin. Using it gave a little late season practice for all members of the football squad to gain experience in games despite the fact that they might not have been good enough to play varsity ball during the season. 65
