Lady Griz climb higher

By Dave Guffey

Last fall when the athletic department chose “The Lady Griz: On Top o f the Mountain” as the theme for the annual team poster, no one imagined how high that summit would prove to be. By the time the season ended in a heart-breaking 72-70 overtime loss to eleventh-ranked Stanford in the second round o f the NCAA tournament, the Lady Griz had climbed higher than any UM basketball team had before. The Lady Griz won twenty-eight games—more than any UM team, men’s or wom en’s in history—lost only two and earned for the first time a top twenty ranking, ending the season sixteenth in the nation. What made the accomplishment doubly thrilling was that no one really expected it. While seasons of more than twenty wins have become routine under coach Robin Selvig, no one seriously thought the Lady Griz would better last year’s twenty-six wins much less the twenty- seven wins recorded in 1984 and 1986. One reason was the non-league schedule, arguably the Marti Leibenguth, Karyn Ridgeway and Dawn Silliker proudly display toughest ever. The Lady Griz faced opponents like Oregon, their trophy after winning the Mountain West Athletic Conference Creighton, Wyoming and nationally-ranked Washington. championship March 12. But when league play began the ladies were 11-0. “I honestly thought we might be right at 50 percent in the preseason,” said Selvig. “Our preseason really helped crowd. While officially there were 9,251 crazed fans, us. Our national ranking really made us better too.

The Little Brown Stein has reached the age o f antiquity. It officially comes about on Saturday, Sept. 24, the date when the University o f Montana football team hosts the University of Idaho Vandals in a Big Sky Conference clash at Washington-Grizzly Stadium. It’ll be a major milestone for the Stein, which was founded on the UM campus fifty years ago. The Little Brown Stein, an 18-inch wooden bric-a-brac, has been the symbol of Grizzly Vandal gridiron supremacy since 1938. With its vintage, it has to be recognized as one o f the relics among college football trophies in the USA today.

The Grizzlies won it back in 1962, one of the few times they gained created for the Grizzly-Vandal rivalry. They said they were possession in the decade. tired o f losing to the Idaho “jinx,” which seemed to act in favor o f the Moscow-based teams.

Miss Montana sets her sights on medical school

By Paddy O ’Connell MacDonald

It is always gratifying to report on the successes of our alumni after they’ve left school, but many UM students don’t wait until graduation to make us proud o f our University and the people who study here. A timely example is Julie Reil, Miss Montana and a sophomore at UM. To write about Miss Montana and not mention that she is beautiful would be like writing about Kareem Abdul-Jabbar without saying he played some basketball. That’s where any resemblance to the stereotypical beauty queen ends, however. A self-assured, articulate 20-year-old with poise and maturity well beyond her years, Reil is the fifth of seven children from a ranching family in the Miles City area. She came to the University on an academic scholarship and is in the honors program with a pre-med major and a minor in music. Her grade-point average is 3.93 (“I got a B,” she said, a flicker o f annoyance briefly clouding her face). Reil’s year as Miss Montana has been an active one.
