GEORGE P. "JIGGS" DAHLBEEG —
HEAD BASKETBALL COACH, AND ASSISTANT FOOTBALL COACH.
It would take all day to name the man;r attributes of hardworking, dependable Coach Dahlberg. "Jiggs," as he is known to his public, assists in Football until early October, when it's time to trot his Basketball squad out on the hardwood, and from then on its a lot of Basketball for the ever hustling Dahlberg. Jiggs not only continues to run his basketball teams in high gear and assists in football, but handles the freshmen baseball team when spring rolls around and is also the Athletic Department's top proselytor. His friendly, humorous nature makes him a natural in meeting the public. Dahlberg graduated from Montana in 1925 not only with athletic honors but with scholastic honors as well. After graduation, Jiggs went to Miles City for four years during which time he chalked up two state championships. Hoquaim, Washington prep school was second stop on Dahlberg ’s tour and here he piloted the Hoquaim lads to 10 victories in 11 games for two seasons, and captured the Southwest Washington title in basketball. Jiggs moved to Anaconda for a year, then went back to Puyullup for four years. Just before coming back to his alma mater in 1937, Dahlberg was at Cliehallis, Washington, for a season. Jiggs was basketball mentor and assisted with football until 1942 v/hen he was called into the Army. He coached Fort Lawton baseball team in Washington State to a semi-pro championship along with puttirg out some fine basketball teams. He returned to Montana in 1945 and in 1949 developed the Grizzlies greatest basketball squad; they broke 12 of the 20 existing University records that season. Jiggs is married and has two young children. EDDIE CKINSKE — ASSISTANT COACH Versatile Eddie is starting his fifth year as a member of the Grizzly Athletic Staff. Before moving into the College Coaching Circle in 1946, Ed spent 16 years tutoring high school athletic teams with the greatest success of any Montana High School Coach in history. His coaching victories have netted him as much prestige around the state of Montana as any conquering general. At Miles City and Missoula County High Schools his teams won, both in Football and Basketball, more than a lion’s share of championships. His ability and success quickly caught the eye of the University Coaching Staff and in 1946 he was hired as Assistant Football and Basketball Coach and Varsity Baseball mentor. Eddie was a Grizzly athlete himself and captain of the 1928 Football squad and recently named as a member of the All-Time All-Star Basketball Team. Married and has four children.
GRIZZLIES 1951 OUTLOOK As the 1951 Foothall warfare is about to begin, Montana faces the Mountain States Conference as one of the pre-season favorites for a first division berth and, if judged by the experienced personnel returning, they easily could be.
Twenty-three letter winners from the 1950 squad will be
on hand along with some excellent Junior College transfers and a few promis ing sophomores.
This season's Grid picture is far brighter than in many
previous years.
If the weak positions develop and improve as the season
progresses, and barring excessive injuries, the Grizzlies will be stiff chal lengers for the Cro’.m.
This could be the best Montana Team since 1937.
The 1951 Squad is the heaviest in years, will have veterans at almost every position with some strong reserves backing them up.
The team will be
minus 11 men with the principal loss being Quarter-back Tommy KLngsford and End Ray Bauerj however, returning lettermen should offset the loss in easy manner.
Briefly, the situation summed up on paper indicates that chances
are bright for a good season, and better yet for a campaign surpassing last year's results.
One weak spot in the line is at center, but Coach
Ted Shipkey has prom:'.sing candidates here.
The Montana squad should have
more speed on offense, improved on defense, Ends and Tackles stronger and the whole line heavier.
Other departments kicking and blocking should be
at the same high while passing is still a slight question mark.
In whole
the Grizzly team will be compact and reinforced with good reserve power. This fall Coach Shipkey has some outstanding backs who with the right combination could be the running power that will spell the difference in the win-loss columns.
Right Halfback Bob Byrne's running last fall stamps
him as the man "here to stay."
Playing first string ball since a sophomore,
Bob has led the Grizzly offensive punch game after game. candidate for ALL-CONFERENCE HONCRS.
He is a definite
Paul Hold will be the left halfback
starter, whose love for the tame and his drive and determination make him another most feared back. gaining. back job.
Closely follows Byrne for offensive ground
George Vucurovich and Dick Heath will be vieing for the Quarter Though inexperienced both appear as excellent prospects.
To
keep competition for the back positions keen are such up and coming con tenders as Bob Graves, Hal Sherbeck and Lloyd Thomas. Fullback is no problem for the head mentor as five hard-charging end experienced men are on hand. offensively.
Fred Mirchoff looks like the No. 1 boy
Bo Laird, Gene Carlson, Milt Wikert and Carol Matye are
more than outstanding replacements. The Grizzly line, defensively good to great last fall, should be just as or even better and heavier. with returning lettcrmen.
All posts except center are well stacked
Graduation swept Ray Biuer, Gordon Stewart,
Bob Hansen and Ken Campbell regulars.
The addition of Chuck flitton,
6*4" , 210 pound end, and Milt Lewis, 215 pound tackle, will add power to the line.
Harold Haus ranks high at the other End berth.
Bob Lomley
and Dave Miller are two huge tackles returning with first string training. Bob Antoni ch and Gordon Jones a great pair of guards who could make any coach's first team.
Jim Murray, switched from tackle, and Joe Roberts
will be stiff contenders at center.
Marshall Murray and Jim Wilson should
be fcshionable replacements.

SQUAD SUMMARY BY POSITIONS J5IJDS:— Stronger— Even with the loss of Montana1s great End Ray Bauer by graduation, the Grizzly wing positions vri.ll be i ronger than last season. Pour lettermen will be returning along with an outstanding Junior College transfer and three capable boys from the Frosh team. Harold Maus and Charles Sitton will be the offensive twosome and Jack Rothwell and Dick MooMav were both good on defense last year and v/ill be hard to stop this fall. Losses: Raj'- Bauer, Andy Kafentzis, Ed Nearing. TACKLES:— Improved— Graduation took two top flight tackles but the tackle spot is not hurting. Dick Reed, Dave "Moose" Miller, Bob Lemley, Bob Leonard, and Earl Merrill ere all back with that added experience which is needed. These five will be used as the strong nucleus. Beyond them no encouraging prospects. Losses: Bob Hansen, Gordon Stewart. GUARDS:— Outstanding— Bob Antonich and Gordon Jones, the two powerful guards irom last year, will be the mainspring both offensive and defensively. They are strong 60-minute players and rated by Coach Shipkey as top calibre men. Mel Ingram end Fred Volk are two good relief men who also lettered last year. Another top prospect is Milt Lewis, a Santa Ana Junior College transfer. Losses: None. CENTERS:— Inexperienced— The transfer of a tackle and end to center this fall may be the answer to Ted Shipkey1s problem as to this position. Jim Murray and Joe Roberts are being tried to see if they can strengthen the pivot place, Marshall Murray and Jim Wilson will be good reserves, but the Grizzlies lack outstanding material. Losses: Ken Campbell, Henry Watt, Bob Anderson. QUARTERBACKS:— Inexperienced— At this position, Coach Shipkey will be relying upon George Vucurovich, who has been transferred from fullback, and upon Dick Heath, an outstanding prospect from the Frosh team. Both Heath and Vucurovich looked especially good in spring drill, and Ted feels that he may have two natural T-formation signal callers in the making. This station should steadily improve as the season progresses. Losses: Tommy Kingsford, John White. £AL?RACKG:— Stronger— Five lettermen return to take up v/here they left off last fall. Co-Captains Bob Byrnes and Faul Hold will be the No. 1 offensive twosome who carried these seme duties last year. Both are fast and constant break-away threats. Top defensive men are Hal Sberbeck and Lloyd Thomas. Bob Yurko and Bob Graves are good hard-running reserves. Injuries could prove very damaging for lack of good reserves. Losses: Don Campbell, Jack King, Charles Murphy, Bill Baker. FULLBACKS:— Excellent— The Grizzlies' power in rushing will be handled by Fred Mirchoff, potentially one of the most dangerous runners that the Silvertips have had at fullback in many falls. Gene Carlson and Bo Laird are juniors who will be tough to overlook, lilt Hikert is a bright prospect. Losses: None

DERIVATION OF "GRIZZLIES" AND "TRADITIONS" (By John T. Campbell, an old Montana hand, who is Director of Sports and Ace Sportscaster for Radio Station- K X L L.) Montana *s first football team was organized in 1898 and the sideliners appropriately dubbed the pioneer eleven the "varsity." Montana grid teems for more than ten years.
This was the name of
Somebody liked the name "Bruins"
so it was tacked on in 1909, but it was brief-lived.
When Montana played
Utah University on October 31, 1912, a sports writer called the marauding Montanans the "Grizzlies."
Since then until the time Montana entered the
Pacific Coast conference, Montana football teams bore the names Bruins, Grizzlies or Bears, —
it didn*t make any difference.
However, it made a
difference to tiro California schools, as the University of California and University of CZ lifornia at Los Angeles, also carrying portions of the bear phylum, demanded that the situation be cleared.
California was therefore
given the title "Bears" which it later changed to "Golden Bears,UCLA adopted "Bruins" and Montana was plenty satisfied with "Grizzlies."
Of the three
types, the Grizzly is the most ferocious, strongest and smartest —
according
to a man named Webster. "THE LITTLE BROWN STEIN" It has come to be a sacred, coveted thing, something cherished by the school holding it, for it represents superiority in football between two in tense rivals for at least one year.
Where Montana and Idaho grid players
struggled for glory in the past, they now battle each other for the handsome wooden-shaped trophy, shaped like a large brew container which symbolizes prestige and honor for their school. first year in 1938.
Idaho captured the traditional Stein the
It has changed hands many times since thon, the most re
cent being when the Montana Grizzlies marched to Moscow last fall and brought it back to Missoula where it now rests, pending the outcome of another clash this fall.
The Stein will go on the block again October 13 on Homecctning Day
when Montana Grizzlies invite Idaho Vandals in for tea.

(Editorfe Note: I have asked Mr. Ray T. Rocene, Sports Editor of the Daily Missoulian, to pick out and name Montana University's greatest football players, as to position. Ray has divided the 51 years of football at Montana in two groups. The first group is up to and including the year 1930 and the second period is from 1931 through 1950. Five backs have been chosen for each period. Mr. Rocene, who has been covering Grizzly sports as a member of the working press for over 30 years end observing Montana Grid iron Gladiators many years previous, is probably the only living person who has watched, with a college professor's analytical eye, every Montana gridder who has ever put on a Grizzly Football suit and gone into battle. TO RAY A GREAT BIG THANES.)

The first game of football was played on November 13, 1869, between Rutgers and Princeton.
The score: Rutgers 6 goals,
Princeton 0. // The first All-American team was selected by Caspar Mr- tney and appeared in Harper’s Weekly in 1889. # Walter Camp, a great halfback at Yale from 1876 to 1831, took Whitney’s idea, perfected and developed it and continued to pick his All-American teams until he died in 192A. He was early dubbed as the 11Glorifier of the American Boy" and since has become lcnown as the "Father of Football." // In 1924 the All-American Board of Football was formed to carry on Camp’s great work.
This Board is composed of outstanding coaches
throughout the United States.
It is a football player’s most cher
ished desire to be selected by these great men as a member of that honored first team and to be heralded as an All-American.
Montana University’s Head Football Coach, Ted Shipkey, Stanford, 1923-1927, was selected by the All-American board as a First String All-American End in 1926. The End - 37 -
