Coaches Ben Tyvand and Lou Rocheleau traveled to Butte with 2 rugged ball players, using 22 of them in the game, with all play ing fine football and outrushing, outpassing the host squad. Dillon kicked off to the Reds, held them for downs and marched the punt to the Red 30-yard line where Vandegrift’s pass to Rouse was good for the goal line, but it was called back because of a penalty. The Beavers then ran the ball up to the 20. and two pass plays, Vandegrift to Rouse, were completed for a touchdown and the extra point, leaving the score in favor of the Beavers, 7-0, at the end of the first quarter. Early in the second quarter, with the ball on the Butte 40- yard mark, Vandegrift received the ball on the midstripe and with some excellent down-field block ing, completed a broken-field sprint for the second Dillon TD. ■Die try for extra point was sty mied by the Reds. A series of screen passes moved the Reds deep into B.C.H.S. territory, where they were held for downs at the Beaver five-yard line, and the Beavers took over to march to the Butte two-yard line only to be held for downs. As the Reds kicked out of this spot, the gun ended the half, with the score 13-0, Beavers. Passes from Vandegrift to Rouse and Jones, plus ground charging by Ed Thompson took the Beavers to the Butte ten twice early in the third period. On the second try. Thompson plunged across for the third score; an extra-point try failed when a pass to Jones was incom plete, leaving the tally 19-0. With a three-touchdown lead, Coach Tyvand sent in several re serves in the final period. The Reds moved downfield to the Beaver two-yard stripe, plunging over for six points. Center Ron nie Kenison blocked the Butte kick to forestall the extra point, but in doing so, injured his left hand so that several stitches were needed to repair the damage. On the final play of the game, after marching to the Red one-yard line by repeated fullback plunges by Ed Thompson, the ball was fumbled and lost, to end the game 19-6, in favor of the Tyvand muleskinners.
