The Murphy Bulldogs travelled
to Copperhill Monday night to
trample the Copper boys by a

over-estimate if one had only seen
'he first two or three minutes of
ihe game, for Murphy received the 1
Ift'ek and returned to about the i
hii ty-five yard lint- The Bulldogs j
then started off with a big long
pa.NS which was incomplete. On
'he next play there was a fumble,
and the Copper boys recovered.
Then McGil! broke loose off his

lidn't give up and MeGill again
