GUSTAFSEN LITTLE STRONG SCHOCDL CDF MINES GAME MONTANA MINES 2: MONTANA STATE 33 The Bobcats closed their home season with an easy victory over the Orediggers from Butte. Coach lack Croft used the second string during the first half and they proved their worth when Gates, subauarterback, passed to Krevic for the first touchdown. Coach Croft came back in the third quarter with his first squad, who put the game on ice with two rapid touchdowns. The first of these two came when Cosner passed to Little in the end zone, and in the second the line merely shoved the lighter and badly battered Ore- diggers out of the way for Cosner to go over for the points from the twelve-yard line. The fourth period saw Ernie Douglas, diminutive left halfbaclc, race 26 yards for the fourth and final touchdown of the day. The game lacked the snap and fire that had characterized other Bobcat games on the home field.

CARRCLL CCLLECE CAME CARROLL U: MONTANA STATE 74 The touchdown marathon of the season was played in the Capi- tal City with the Saints on the defensive during the entire game. Never did they threaten as the heavier and stronger Bobcats ran madly down the field. Coach Croft used the entire squad in the game. The Bobcat line tore large holes in the Saints' defense to allow the fleet backs to turn the game into one continuous march up the field. The Saints put up a valiant stand but were rapidly weakened by the continued battering of their heavier and more ex- perienced opponents. The Cats outgained their opponents some 300 yards during the game but this was largely due to the extra reserve power and greater experience. Nearly every back on the Bobcat team scored at least one touchdown. Coach Croft sub- stituted freely to give the reserves added experience. MURPHY MIKKLESON KREVIC if-t.1 . W .T .
