football Miller f-:ivcs skulls practice Miller On any fall day after school the brawny form of coach Carroll Miller may be seen drilling his charges on the a, b, c's of the noble art of football . . . for two years mr. Miller, an able mentor, has had charge of the clestinies of the second squad . . . since this is a very important phase of a gridder's training Miller de- serves a great deal of credit for tearing himself away from his bottles and test tubes to drill his kinder-garteni' zz --the helper Buzzetti Coach Buzzetti, right-hand man of Chinske, has always been an active partici- pant in athletics . . . while in college he played with the Golden Bobcats, and last summer he pitched for the state-champion- ship baseball team . . . mr.

gridiron battles Wallace With an impressive 25-0 victory over wallace, many Missoulians thought they saw in the power- ful line and the strong backfield a championship team . . . we had the flashy Madsen, whose broken-field running was a beautiful sight under Dornblaser's new lights fin their first testj . . . then there were such individual powerhouses in the line as Clawson, Dratz, and Halttunen . . . Wallace's spark-plug, Franklin, needed a cleaning and got it . . . what an opening game! Helena In their first out of town game, the Purples scored a decisive victory over the heavy Helena Bengals . . . outdistanced on the ground, the Spartans took to the air, using the Campbell to Clawson passing combination . . . Madsen, with his flashy end runs, contributed to Missoula's final 21-0 victory . . . the collapsing of the grand- stands was the feature of the game . . . this re- sulted not from an earthquake but from excess ponderosity. Butte Public Abruptly shattering the Spartan's winning streak, Butte Public, Missoula's age-old rival, scored a 26-19 victory on the home field . . . the Purples were soon giving in to Butte, but the Chinskemen retaliated brilliantly to tie the score 19-19 in the third period . . . after Missoula failed on a trick kick, Butte again took the ball and marched down the field to score the winning touchdown . . . al- though hopes were dampened, the prospects of a good season still loomed high . . . star of the game was Butte's huge, tough Naranche. Whitefish Touring to Whiteish, Missoula scored an easy victory over the Fishers . . . the Whitensh team was sadly deficient in weight . . . even the heavi- est players were overwhelmed by the giant Spar- tans . . . in spite of the weight disadvantage, I-Iileman of Whitefish repeatedly hit the Missoula line for heavy gains . . . the final gun sounded after Missoula had piled up the lopsided score of 20-0. Butte Central Coach Zupan came with a team of light foot- ballers to play the Purples on Dornblaser field . . the Maroons were ready, willing, and able, but they did not have the required umph to capital- ize on any decisive gains . . . this 20-6 defeat of Butte Central proved to be a colorless game with both teams playing below par. 22 Kalispell In the third home game, the Flathead Braves threw a tomahawk in the aerial attack of the Pur- ple team . . . led by a dusky comet, captain Mike Gibbs, the Kalispell team ran and passed their way to a 12-0 decision over an over-confident and very soon completely bewildered Missoula eleven . . . the vaunted passing attack of the Missoula team failed disastrously . . . chained lightning in the person of Mike Gibbs proved too hot for the Spartan line and secondary to handle . . . the moans of disgruntled Missoula fans could be heard from here to Kalispell, to the delirious de- light of the Flathead rooters. Great Falls Coach Chinske pulled the proverbial fast one by starting the entire second string against the raging Bisons of Great Falls . . . the Bison's rage changed to apprehension when this second team led at half-time 7-6 . . . however, failure of the lighting system during the half caused a delay of over an hour, and the inspired Bisons came back to push over 13 points in the second period . . . final score: Missoula, 75 Great Falls, 19 . . . al- though Missoula objected to the rough Great Falls' tactics and voiced the opinion that Sea- linger, Great Falls' all-state back, had been knocked out of bounds on one of his goalward jaunts, the officials disallowed the protests. Anaconda As the final gun sounded, the Spartans meted out a 19-O shellacking to the Anaconda Copper- heads on chilly November 5 under the lights at Missoula . . . Avery's sensational pass-catching contributed two of the Missoula scores-Roberts and Doug Campbell looking good in the role of passers . . . Nladsen made the third touchdown by appropriating one of Anaconda's passes and absconding with it to the goal-line 50 yards away . . . Cub Potter broke up a last quarter rally of the Copperheads by stealing three passes in quick succession . . . this game not only concluded the '37 football season for Missoula high, but also wrote finis to the high school football careers of 15 Missoula seniors.
