Mar._____ Saturday's season finale between the Wyoming Cowboys
and the Montana Grizzlies at the MSU Field House will be climaxed by the presenta­
tion of the C. R. Dragstedt award to an outstanding Grizzly basketball player.
The award, consisting of $100 and a plaque, will be presented by Mr. Carl
Dragstedt, of Missoula, immediately after the game.
The selection committee, consisting of Coach Frosty Cox, Chalky Miller, and
Ray T. Rocene, will make a decision after a meeting later this week.
The Montana
Faculty Athletic Committee Monday night declared all varsity players scholastically
and athletically eligible.for the award.
Saturday's tilt, which likely will decide the Skyline championship, also will be
the final game for four Grizzly seniors —
Russ Sheriff, centerj and guards Hal Erick­
son, Clancy Waters and Frosty Cox, Jr.
An individual honor will be at stake this week.
Russ Sheriff, with l£8 rebounds,
is trailing league-leading John Nicoll of BYU by seven in that department.
Two good
rebounding performances by the big Helena senior could mean the rebounding crown
for Sheriff and definite consideration as All-Skyline center.
Sheriff was second-team all-conference center last year.
The award was first made in 19^3 to Chuck Davis, star Grizzly forward.
Anderson, All-Skyline guard won the $100 and plaque in 195b*
Ed
Montana's high-scoring
guard, Ed Argenbright copped the award twice, in 1955 and 19^6.
Last year the re­
cipient was All-Conference guard, Rudy (Zip) Rhoades.
