During most of the game Utah repeatedly piled up leads of from five to ten points at various times only to have the Bobcats come back with rallies which tied the score. It was only the advantage of experience against inexperience which gave the champs the edge.The final game was a repetition of the first three with Utah leading most of the way in a see-saw affair which kept the fans constantly on the edge of their seats. The Redskins lead, 10 to 8, at the half, were tied 12-all, and then lead again at 18 to 12. The Cats then came through with their usual scoring spurt and ran the score up to 27 before the Utes could garner their final three points.The Montana Bobcats hung up an enviable record this year. They met and defeated some of the best teams in the country, as well as winning the Western Division championship of the Rocky Mountain Conference with the loss of but a single game. This huge success has been in no small measure the result of the excellent qualities of their coach, Ott Romney. Since Romney has been at the northern institution, he has placed them on the map repeatedly with his brilliant teams, particularly, his basketball teams. They have captured the Rocky Mountain championship two years in succession now.It is with deepest regret that Montana views the passing of Coach Romney. He takes up new duties at the B. Y. U. next year.? P'2'J; fy%.5 't'3.MARVIN JONAS GuardMILO MARSDEN Forward |
