Max Worthington starred for Montana State, and Ivar Twilde's foot played an important role
A day-by-day look at Bobcat football history...
October 19
SPOTLIGHT: When the Bobcats got together with their cross-state rivals in Butte in 1929, they did so with great anticipation. The previous year's game ended in a tie, but Montana State hadn't beaten the University since 1908. UM was 3-1-1 entering the game at Clark Park, having tied Washington 6-6, while Montana State's win over BYU the week before boosted the Bobcats' record to 2-2.
The Cats marched down the field after receiving the opening kickoff, scoring on a fourth-down pass from A.O. DeFrate to Max Worthington. Worthington scored on an end-around just before halftime, and Ivar Twilde's second PAT gave Montana State a 14-6 lead. The Grizzlies' first quarter touchdown was scored by future Bobcat head coach Clyde Carpenter, the team's quarterback, who drove the University to a touchdown on the ensuing drive.
The second half was played to a stalemate, but with just over two minutes left Montana faced 90 yards and a two-point deficit to extend its 21-year streak without a loss. Carpenter marched his team, using backs Tom Moore and Waldo Ekegren, to the Bobcat 20. Jimmy Morrow hit Moore on a pass on the last play of the game, but Moore was tackled at the Bobcat five as the gun sounded. After more than two decades, and for the first time in Butte, the Bobcats had beaten the Grizzlies.
