—8— Today's Game .. An outraged Rebel invades Dornblaser today, bent on RONALD MCDONALD SAYS destruction and looking to avenge last weekend’s loss to Big Sky member Idaho State. TOUCHDOWN Nevada-Las Vegas will serve as UM’s “second opener” this afternoon. Montana had three weeks of practice to prepare for a Sept. 13 visit by South Dakota, and then had two weeks to prepare for nationally ranked Las Vegas. Montana coach Jack Swarthout is wary of Nevada-Las Vegas. “After losing to Idaho State last weekend, they will play like Tigers Saturday,” Swarthout said early in the week. The Rebels envision a return to the Division II playoffs this fall, and can’t afford to lose more than one more game. Swarthout said today’s game is important to Montana. “We must win this game to show that we can be contenders in the Big Sky because a Big Sky Conference team has already beaten Las Vegas,” Swarthout said. McDonald’s Offense and plenty of it should be the pattern for today’s game. Las Vegas has outstanding offensive firepower with quarterback Glenn Carano directing a strong ground game, mixed with his substantial throwing skills. The Rebels have yielded over 400 yards in each of their first two games, a 48- 30 triumph over Northern Iowa and a 15-7 loss to Idaho State. Montana racked up 499 yards of total offense against South Dakota, but the Grizzly defense also gave up 412 yards in the 51-17 victory. Next week the Grizzlies open Big Sky play against Weber State in Ogden, Utah. After the Weber game its back to after the game.

—10— the excitement, the nostalgia

by Joe Concannon,

T here has always been the per­ sonal love affair with the college game, taking its roots from those trips as a kid to the cavernous Yale Bowl in New Haven, Conn., and nurtured by my own experiences as a college writer chasing around the East after teams that came close, but never made it in those earlier student days at Boston University. As a kid, too, I always heard the stories, listening to my father talk about the Four Horsemen and how he had played on the same team with them in Waterbury, Conn., after they had left Notre Dame. I memorized the lead that Grantland Rice had written, making the Four Horsemen “outlined against a blue-gray October sky” a part of our folklore. I guess, ultimately, it would figure that this would be my vocation, writ­ ing about sports and, if it is really the fashionable thing these days to be a pro football writer in one of the 26 National Football League cities, it is not for me. If the Ivy League is not the Big Eight, or the Pac-Eight, it is still a pretty real place to reside. Is it for real, or will it be a fake-a trademark of college football.

college game as an outgrowth over concern about the brutality of the game. It is one of the little-known vignettes of the game. In 1905, a com­ mittee met in New York to “save football.” Headed by the immortal Walter Camp, the committee sought to open up the game, making it a less dangerous activity. Serious thought was given to widening the gridiron by 40 feet, making it more a game of rugby than football as we know it today. There was one problem. One of the newly-built college stadiums in the East, had permanent stands. It would have cost too much money to tear them down.
