ROTH HOLLOWAY B. Y. U. GAME BRIGHAM YOUNG UNIVERSITY 19: MONTANA STATE COLEGE 0 In the last game of the season the Bobcats took a 19 to O beating from Brigham Young University at Provo The score does not indi- cate the battle that was displayed by a plucky band of Bobcat War- riors who Were determined to gain at least one conference victory. They played the powerful Cougars on even terms during the first half and only due to the lack of equal reserve strength did they allow the famed Cougar offensive to run away for three touchdowns in the last half. The first two scores came as a result of passes from all-conference Roberts to the brilliant pass receiver, Soffe. The final Cougar touchdown came in the fourth quarter when Charley Rob- erts' wide end runs netted 77 yards, and the final touchdown. Due to fine defensive playing, giant Max Kimberley, Bobcat tackle, was the outstanding individual of the day. Cosner also showed up well for the Bobcats. Roberts and Soffe were the downfall of the Bobcats as their famed passing attack finally got under full swing in the last half of the game.

CARRCLL CCLLECE CAME CARROLL U: MONTANA STATE 74 The touchdown marathon of the season was played in the Capi- tal City with the Saints on the defensive during the entire game. Never did they threaten as the heavier and stronger Bobcats ran madly down the field. Coach Croft used the entire squad in the game. The Bobcat line tore large holes in the Saints' defense to allow the fleet backs to turn the game into one continuous march up the field. The Saints put up a valiant stand but were rapidly weakened by the continued battering of their heavier and more ex- perienced opponents. The Cats outgained their opponents some 300 yards during the game but this was largely due to the extra reserve power and greater experience. Nearly every back on the Bobcat team scored at least one touchdown. Coach Croft sub- stituted freely to give the reserves added experience. MURPHY MIKKLESON KREVIC if-t.1 . W .T .

CLUZEN On the opening of the fall quarter a small but eager band of freshmen re- ported to Iohn Breeden, to begin their college football careers. The boys worked hard all fall as night after night they played martyr to the battering charges of the varsity squad. To these men should go a great deal of the credit for the development of a successful Bobcat team. The 1938 Montanan wishes to ex- tend a great deal of praise to these courageous and persistent warriors. The opening game of the abbreviated season was against the Polytechnic. On Gatton Field under the newly installed floodlights, the current edition of the Bobkittens showed great potentialities, as they defeated the Poly l9 to 6 with May, Murphy, and McGeever outstanding. On the following weekend they entertained the Cubs from Montana U in the little Big Garne of the year. After the first two plays the game turned out to be a closely fought struggle but in those first two plays the Cubs made the only score of the game on a recovered fumble to win 6-O. The Kittens closed their season with a return game with the Billings Poly in which they repeated their former victory in a more decisive manner by winning 25-U.
