Tackle and Halfback Bill Jenkins lost his right hand as a young boy but showed no problems with losing fumbles for Meaderville in 1919.

Leading ground gainer John Tomich suffered a broken leg against Walkerville in 1921.  A benefit dance was scheduled to help with his bills while he recovered.
 
Dissatisfied with the schedule given the team by the league, and waiting nearly a month to play their third game, a 15-4 private ballot vote ended the season for Meaderville, withdrawing from the BIL on Nov 4, 1921.  The team would be coaxed back into playing their final game, a 19-0 blowout loss to Englewood.
 
At season end though, Penhale (1st team HB); Cromnich (2nd team Guard); and Crnich (2nd team quarterback) would be selected to the All-Star teams by sportswriter Jean Jordan.
 
The 1923 squad never made it to the field as practice numbers were not to the coaches liking and the team was shut down in September.
 
Al "Beans" Randono tried to bring a squad to the 1930 Butte League but was denied entry by vote of league managers stating it would extend the season too late into December and "other complications" (The Montana Standard, Aug 26, 1930).  Randono released his players to join other teams.
