SUN DODGERS TRIM MONTANA BY $50 SCORE Heavy Washington Line Turns Back Every Treasure State Attack. Seattle. Oct. University of Montana’s Grizzlies were unable to score on the heavy University Of Washington in the first northwestern conference game of the year here today and the Purple and Gold started the season with a 26 TO 0 victory. Washington’s heavy line successfully turned back every Montana offensive. Abel, speedy Purple and Gold pivot, furnished the initial thrill when, in the first quarter, he raced down the field, twisting and lodging for 80 yards, to a touchdown. Bryan converted into the FRY for score. The huskies scored twice more in the second frame, first on a line buck by Beck and again just before the period closed, on a long forward pass from ,Ziel to Hall. The final Washington tally came in the third period. Abel again carrying the ball over after a series of line bucks by Bryan and Beck. The fourth period was a see-saw affair. the ball zigzagging back and forth across the field. The period was marked by p%unting exchanges and cost “ ~fumbling. Washington was in pos session of the ball on the opponents 80 yard line when the game ended. Tineuns.

That’s Washington’s football team at the present writing. An experienced team with Washington power would have rolled up rs points on Montana Saturday. As il was the Purple and Gold gridders totaled but 20. Time and again the locals lost ground on fumblcs and penalties. This will have to be remedied before the big games. But there were the good points, too.
