In the meanwhile the Bruins are
working hard preparing for the four

sonnet. but certainly in spirit, cndur-
ancc and football knowledge. Three

Though watching for the Whitman
game to give an indication as TO prob
able future performances, Misso,'la
fans are more eagerly awaiting the
coming of Bennon's Aggies for the
annual title struggle. which will be
staged on Montana field on November
10. The AgGies have already played
trree games, their record for the sea-
son reading as follows:
Aggies,, 7; University of Denver, SO
Aggies, 20: Colorado Aggies. 20.
Aggies, Z; Utah Aggies, Z.

ltge team, on even terms, on a foreign
field, shows that Bennion has deyel.
oped Il team that is to be feared
When the Montana farmers playec
the Utah Aegies over q week ago
Bcnnon kept Boberg, his star quarter,
back, whom he brought up from ufah
ont of the game, and this probably &C
counts for the failure of the BoZemaI
team to down the Mormons. BennioI
has four two-year men, and seven one
year men on his team, and has heel
drilling them continuously since thu
middle of September. IT will be tn
| last game of the season for the Ag
| Sos according to their present SEIZED
ulc, and they will fight for all they ar
worth to down the Bruins, a fca
Z which they have been Unable t
. achieve for nine years. Coaches baV
come and gone, but none has bee!
= able to turn out an eleven able to de
\ your the fighting Grizzlies from Mis-
SCUBA, and Bennion has had no bette
success. though hc has had three year
| at Bo2cnan, and is now on his fourt
season. The Aggies are barred fror
y playing freshmen by the rules OF tn
Rocky Mountain conference, of Whic
l thcy are members, but it is not know
u whether they will adhere to this rul
in the game with Montana. as tn
} Bruins are playing freshmen.
Other games on Montana's schedul

Il and with the University of Idaho .
