OFFICIAL SOUVENIR PROGRAM-MAGAZINE 25 CENTS Lucky Program N? 5639 UNIVERSITY NEW MEXICO UNIVERSITY Saturday, O ct. 26, 1957— 1:30 P.M. — Dornblaser Field The Spectator When an injury in the Brigham Young game three weeks ago forced senior quarter­ back Roy Bray to the sidelines, no one realized at the time that he had played his last collegi­ ate football game. Missoula football fans need no introduction to Bray. All through high school, Roy was an exciting ball player. Collegiate play did little more than add luster to Bray's tremendous de­ fensive abilities. Strong, courageous, he made daring stops that left spectators breathless. But a quarterback also plays on offense, and Bray did pretty well for himself, and the Grizzlies, in that department. His three-year career mark—he played be­ hind passing wizard Norm Kampschror in his sophomore year and had only two complete games under his belt in his senior year—is quite respectable. He completed 49 passes in 127 attempts for 629 yards and three touchdowns. Only ten of his tosses were intercepted. Roy ended his career with a minus rushing yardage—71 yards to be exact—but this largely was due to the fact that on many pass attempts he was smothered and had to "eat" the ball. On the majority of the plays in which the quarterback actually is a rushing back, Roy made yardage. He carried the ball 63 times for 115 yards. He lost 186 yards, the majority on passing plays. But cold statistics scarcely tell the measure of a ball player. They fail to bring out the in­ tangibles. The man who makes the biggest share of the tackles in the secondary. The "Holler" guy, the team leader, the gutty, in­ spirational player. All these things, and more, Bray was. He is sorely missed in the Grizzly camp. MISSOULA AUTOMOBILE DEALERS ASSOCIATION P. O.
