He is a member of the Helms Athletic Foundation Hall of Fame. By Example, Show the Rapid Development of the Athletic Training Field With Regard to the Grizzly-Bobcat Game, What Do You Remember Most About Your Football Playing Days? The growth has been tremendous and the best example of this would be a before and after photo display. Picture I remember losing to the Bobcats. To understand what I me, all by myself, years ago tending to a group of athletes, mean you must realize that in those days the Grizzlies had then think of our present day staff, which includes three a much stronger football program, and it was truly a paid student assistants for me, four doctors and a disgrace to lose to the Bobcats. (It was 1932 and the Cats psychiatrist from the Health Service. won 19-7) What Do You Consider Your Greatest Achievement? Has The Rivalry Changed Over the Years? That is a tough one for me. A lot of nice things have Very Definitely. The rivalry is more intense because of been said and done for me, but I think progress is what I the equality of the football programs at the two schools. take greatest pride in.

Dr. Roland Renne Every time we win. and Tony Storti (MSU President and Coach) decided to beat the Grizzlies in everything. (Renne was President from 1944 to 1964 and Storti was football coach from 1952 to 1957.) In this 1958 picture two Rhineharts, Naseby Sr., left, andNaseby Jr., are shown holding the Grizzly Cup Awards which were presented to them by Morris McCollum (right). McCollum, who was manager of the Associated Student Store for many years, gave Naseby Sr., who is the current UM Athletic Trainer, his award in 1935. Naseby Jr., who is known as Pete, holds his father's trophy, now in two pieces after hard usage by the Rhinehart family. “Pete cut his teeth on my cup,” the elder Rhinehart said at that time/ “Now he has one of his own.” Rupert Holland’s 20 Years Rupert Holland is another University of Montana official who has a long-time association with the Grizzly-Bobcat game. He is in his 20th year as UM Equipment Manager. Before joining the Grizzly staff he put in 24 years with the U.S. Army. What Is Your Favorite Story About the Grizzly-Bobcat Game? I recall when they placed new steel goal posts on old Dornblaser Field to keep the Bobcats from tearing them down. So they came in at night and sawed them almost in two at the base and when the game was over they had no problem knocking them down. Another time they were going to use fire hoses to keep the Bobcats from tearing down the goal posts, and they cut the fire hose into many pieces. What Grizzly-Bobcat Game Do You Remember Most? G\, I remember the 1968 game well. We lost, but it was the most exciting UM’s Terry Dillon MSU’s Don Hass and the best game I have seen. Montana led 24-9 in the fourth quarter but 1960-62 1965-67 lost 29-24. I remember Ron Baines almost scored for the Grizzlies on the last play of the game. (MSU tailback Paul Schafer carried 58 times in the game.) It Is Said “This Game Has Special Meaning” and “To Win This Game Makes the Season a Success.” What Do You Say? It is a great game. You never think about losing it. Today s Athletes Have Superior Coaching, Better Diets and Advanced Training Techniques. What About Equipment? It is of higher quality every year. It has to be because of the game itself. The athletes are bigger and faster, coaching techniques are better, doctors and trainers are more aware of injuries and the equipment has to provide better protection. We have the best equipment money can buy.
