Photo:"This year inaugurates the playing of the
Bobcat-Grizzly football games in Butte. The annual
game was played before a monster crowd which packed
Butte's Clark Park. A large crowd of Bobcat fans,
including almost the entire student body, went over
in a special train to Butte and had a happy time.
There is no doubt but that the game being played
in Butte is a fine venture from the standpoint of
both schools." —1927 Montanan yearbook |

| "The
Big Day of the sports year. Both schools decamped
to Butte where they spent a happy day making
snide remarks about each other's schools,
imbibing a bit of cheer-up and attending the
game - at least some of them attending the
game. Head Stomping Grounds was the Finlen
Hotel, where the lobby was crowded to bursting
with jovial fans displaying pompons, chrysanthemums
and here and there a black eye." |
