Polson High eleven trounces Missoula

Fighting football won the first game of the season for the Polson High School eleven last Saturday when they decisively defeated the Missoula High School team by a score of 13 to 0. Two touchdowns, one in the third and one in the fourth quarter, spelled victory for the local boys.

Although outweighed by the Missoula Huskies, the locals developed a fighting spirit early in the game that could not be stopped. For the first five minutes of play, Missoula carried the ball into Polson’s territory and was able to make yardage.

The locals braced up, decided they might as well win the game, and for the rest of the game were on the offensive most of the time.
