T h e 1928 SeasonUniversity of M ontana’s V arsity football team

of 1928 was one consisting of a large num ber of sophomores th a t w ent through a season of ups and clowns and then came back to w hip Gon- zaga, one of the most formidable teams on the coast. The big game of the year, th a t w ith Mon­tana S tate, resulted in a scoreless tie. W hile the conference season resulted disastrously, Mon­tana was forced to meet teams of national repute. Oregon S tate traveled across the con­tinen t to defeat the pow erful New York U ni­versity team while W ashington, Oregon, Idaho and W ashington S tate possessed men who re­ceived recognition on num erous a ll-star teams.

Facing two independent Mines league teams the same afternoon, M ajor M ilburn sp lit his squad in an a ttem pt to give his sophomores an

opportunity to display th e ir wares. In each game the Grizzlies were content to score two touchdowns and then coast to victory, both games ending 13-0. M or­row was the whole show in the firs t game while Capt. Chinske and C arpenter were the most effective in the second. The work of Davis and Rognlien working at the end positions was particu la rly brillian t.

Following the two early season practice games M ontana met the invading W ashington S tate squad and dropped a. 26-6 game to the Cougars a f te r forcing

them to the limit during the first half. F eet Lewis, Grizzly center, was on top of the play when a Cougar back fumbled and, scooping the ball, he ran 23 yards fo r the firs t counter of the game. W ashington State trailed until well into the second quarter when she managed to push the ball over for a touchdown. Going into the th ird quarter with the score tied 6-6, Ilo ran , W ashington S tate back, broke away soon afte r the s tart and completed a long run for a m arker that gave his team a lead it never relinquished.

Saturday, Oct. 13, M ontana went down before the heavier and stronger University of W ashington Huskies at Seattle. The Huskies, led by the All- Am erican Carroll, pushed through a sea of m ud early in the second period to assume a lead tha t could not be headed. As the game grew older the giant

W ashington squad slowly wore the Grizzlies down and then opened up in the th ird and fourth periods to run their to tal to 25. F o r M ontana, Davis was outstanding with his all-around play. His punting was sensational and, with W aldo Ekegren, was the only Grizzly back to successfully gain against the heavy W ashington outfit. M ellinger was still out with a bad shoulder and his fine defensive play was missed.

M ajor M ilburn gave most of his veterans a rest du ring the School of Mines game and turned his sophomores loose for the afternoon in order th a t they might acquire as much experience as possible. Led by C arpenter and Moore the Grizzlies pushed the M iners from one end of the gridiron to the other bu t was unable to score more than tw enty points while shutting out the B utte team. The

Grizzlies gained over 600 yards from scrimmage du ring the afternoon while the M iners scored but one firs t down.

Following the “ b re a th e r” game with the School of Mines M ontana went to B utte to meet M ontana S tate in a game th a t means as much if not more to each team than a conference championship. M ontana S tate had s tarted the season with a flare by trouncing Idaho in her own back yard and was doped to win from M ontana. Anybody acquainted with M ontana football knows tha t dope has no value in this game as was proved when the Grizzlies completely outplayed the Bobcats throughout the game. Both teams played cautiously, p re ferring to play a defensive game and w ait for the breaks. M ontana at one time drove deep into enemy te rr ito ry until bu t five yards remained fo r a touchdown with three

A huge Idaho team came to M issoula fo r the last home game of the yea r and proceeded to dam pen the homecoming sp irit by rom ping over the Grizzlies by a 21-6 count. Idaho was the firs t to score when they completed a forw ard pass fo r a short gain and a touchdown. Soon afterw ards, Feet Lewis, always fol­lowing the play, grabbed a fum ble and sp rin ted 18 yards fo r a M ontana touch­down. Idaho took advantage of a M ontana fum ble before the half ended and scored another six points on s tra igh t line bucks, which w ith the ex tra point gave them a 14-6 lead. A nother V andal touchdown resulted late in the fo u rth period following another Grizzly fumble, leaving the score a t 21-6 when the game

ended. The M ontana line, led by Lewis and M urray , played extrem ely well. Time a fte r tim e i t stopped the bone crushing attacks of the big Idaho backs.

M ajor M ilburn took his Grizzlies to the coast Nov. 24 to p lay before the second homecoming crowd w ith in a week and was tu rn ed back by a g reat Oregon team 31-6. This game m arked the beginning of an exhibition of football th a t lends encouragem ent to prospects fo r the 1929 season. M ontana, while badly beaten, displayed an offense th a t carried p len ty of power and finally pounded over a touchdow n in the fo u rth qu arte r. The Grizzlies made 15 f irs t downs and completed 11 out of 15 fo rw ard passes du rin g the afternoon.

and was somewhat ham pered by injuries. D uring the S tate Intercollegiate meet here in May there were seven men in ju red who would, otherwise, have been certain point w inners for S tew art. Regardless of these handicaps S tew art produced a squad tha t developed rap id ly when good train ing conditions did arrive and which made a favorable showing in all its meets.

S tew art held the class meet early in the season and the a f fa ir resulted in a victory fo r the jun iors with the seniors, sophomores and freshm en finish­ing in tha t order. Samples, w ith 13 points, led the jun iors while C aptain Davis

A small squad was taken to Seattle for the W ashington relays May 4. A l­though having had a limited train ing season the Grizzlies placed second in the medley and th ird in the 880 relays. Samples, s ta r sprin ter, was ill du ring the trip and was not able to display his best form.

The Pacific Coast conference meet held in Missoula a t the end of the 1928 season brought the greatest aggregation of athletes ever to appear in Montana.

Bessey, a small man, made his great throw in his last appearance as a Grizzly athlete and, incidentally, established w hat was then a new state mark. The 1928 captain, Barkes Adams, ran a beautiful race in the 880-yard ru n to win a second for his team while George M artin took fourth in the mile run. Other point winners for S tew art’s squad were F ran k Curtiss, who won th ird in the two-mile, Jake M iller with a three way tie fo r th ird in the pole vault, and Tom Davis who took fou rth in the 220-yard dash. Davis also made a beautiful sp rin t in the last lap of the relay to win second fo r his team in this event.

Following the close of the regular 1928 season, Coach S tew art took Tom Davis to Chicago to compete in the National Intercollegiate meet. W hile Davis did not place in the 440-yard dash he had the satisfaction of beating Sisson and Ouilette, men who had starred in the conference meet. Davis barely missed qualifying for the finals.

F resh m an T rackThirty-five freshmen reported to Carl Tysel, frosh eoach, at. the beginning

of the season and worked out regularly every day. Tysel, a three-letter track man under Coach Stewart, handled the squad and was aided from time to time by the Varsity coaches.

T he only regular meet engaged in by the first year men was the inter- class meet the latter part of April. Although outscored by the other classes some of the individuals showed unusual ability and offered the V arsity op­ponents considerable opposition. M urray threatened the 40-foot m ark in the shot pu t to take firs t in this event while Dick Nelson placed second in the pole vault. Noyes and Spaulding in the hurdles, Rossiter in the high jum p and R uth and F lin t in the broad jum p were other freshmen to score points.

M urray is a Missoula high school product who won first at the 1928 In te r­scholastic while Nelson, from Willow Creek, tied for the best m ark in the pole vault at the same time. D. Davis of B utte won the half mile a t the state meet here in 1927 and placed th ird in the 440. Snyder, Goggins, Husser, and Lofts- gaarden were other freshmen who showed promise even though they failed to place in the inter-class meet.

Each year a cup is awarded to the outstanding freshman track athlete by Athletie Director J . W. Stewart. The stipulations are tha t the man must be one who is of promising Varsity m aterial and a preference is shown for one who is outstanding in not only one event but who can perform in more than a specialty. Stevlingson, a hurdler, received the aw ard in 1927 while the cup was awarded to Bob Davis last year. Davis is a middle distance man.

Mrs. H a rrie t Graham Wood is an instructor in the Physical Education departm ent and adviser of the W om en’s Athletic Association. Mrs. Wood graduated from the University of Wisconsin and has been con­nected with the Physical Education departm ent of this University fo r the past two years. Since coming to the campus she has introduced two new m ajor sports, soccer and field hockey; has taken charge of all W AA activ­ities, and the enthusiasm of the members and the growth of this organization in the past two years is due to her interest in athletic competition for women.

T ra c k 1928The second annual Track and F ield Day for all women on the campus

was held this year with greater interest and keener competition than ever before. Freshm an and sophomore women entered the meet to represent the ir class afte r a gradual elimination contest during the season, while upperelass women de­fended their titles.

The meet in 1928 was won by the sophomore class. Track events included hurdles, races and relay races, while field events were broad and high jum ping, discus and javelin throwing. The all-star team was chosen a t the end of the season.
