The 1939 appearance of the Grizzlies was the finest that the Missoula institution had ever displayed on the Stadium turf. The initial Washington score came when the Husky contingent powered its way to the Montana ten-yard marker. The Grizzlies held for three downs and Elmer Berg was called upo11 to split the uprights for a field goal and three points. Montanals lone scoring threat came from a clever play which saw Nugent take the ball on a double reverse, lateral it to Swarthout, who hit Vaughn with a forward on the mid-field stripe. Vaughn almost gained the remaining yards to score, but was pulled down from behind on the Husky fifteen. Taking possession and ultimately working the ball to the Grizzly 12, the Huskies laid the stage for a deceptive shovel pass from Don Jones to Earl Younglove who accounted for the score. 170

Y 2 4 171 AYLAYING an emaciatcd Bear and turning in one of the Inost spectacular performances of their football campaign, the Washingtoii gridders trimmed California 13-6 in a thrill- ing tussle that featured the kicking and passing of Dean McAdams and Bill Gleason, the rushing tactics of the entire Husky front trenches, and the deceptiveness of the Purple and Gold hack- field attack. California picked up the first tally but was not long controlling the lead. The Huskies broke into the scoring column shortly there- after, when l11cAdams connected with an aerial to ,lay McDowell, who rambled the remaining yards to a Washingtoll tally. The final scoring play of the Huskies was a sensation. Bill Gleason faded hack and shot a pass to McAdams, who, while falling, managed to scoop up the ball one-handed and fall across into pay territory. Washington completely outbattled the Bears in coming out on the long end of the score. The Berkeley fray was the seventh on the Husky schedule and the third consecutive win of the season.
