When Montana Grizzlies Faced Off Against Jackie Robinson and UCLA: The Untold Story That Shook College Football
An excellent account of the game on lvironpigs.wordpress.com describes how UCLA overmatched a Montana lineup that was undersized and dealing with injuries.
Robinson, who started at right halfback, wore jersey No. 28, not the No. 42 that is retired across Major League Baseball and celebrated annually on April 15, when all players wear the number.
As a junior, Robinson earned All-America honorable mention honors after he led the nation in punt return average (16.4 yards on 18 returns) for the first of two straight seasons, and he rushed the ball 42 times for 512 yards. While he starred the week before the Montana game at Stanford, including a late interception deep in UCLA territory to help preserve a 14-14 tie, it was Washington, the left halfback, who dominated the Grizzlies with 164 yards and three touchdowns on 11 carries.
