Synopsis of the Griz' First Homecoming and the 1919 season

This was a fantastic read, if a bit hard to see.

Couple highlights:

The Montana Grizzlies didn't take part in the football classic at Pasadena New Year's day against the cornfed laddies from Harvard. This means that Montana didn't have the best football team in the west.

And then again there wasn't any howling about the Grizzlies topping off the other elevens in the Northwest conference, which is the bourgeois method of remarking that Saulding's football guide won't mention Montana as a member of the elite circle.

But there was one good reason for dragging out the sacred and $9-a-pint bottle and riding the top of the world just for a night. That was the Bruin-Aggie engagement in the Bozeman stockyards. The results certainly didn't make the proverbial bystander trade his Roundup stock for a share in Mount Sentinel for a 6 to 6 tie, a rather narrow margin to win a football game. However, that is what happened. The Aggies lost. They lost their best chance they had in years to defeat one of the weakest teams the University ever had and grab the state championship. But the barnyard youths could not subdue the Grizzly Bear, not even in their own pasture.

LOL, what is this in, the King James Version?
Verily, they went forthwith and smote the degenerate felines.

It's history, man. It came from the 1920 year book. It's pretty awesome.
