The University of Montana began the 1967 football season with an all new coaching staff, many new transfers, and a new winning spirit. Under the direc- tion of Coach Swarthout the Grizzlies' season was the best in the last thirty years. Conference standing also im- proved-the Grizzlies tied with Uni- versity of Idaho for second place. In the first game of the new season the Grizzlies opposed the University of North Dakota Sioux in Grand Forks. The Sioux quickly established a 14-O lead in the game. The Grizzlies rallied and raised the score to 14-13 by half- time.
