Mountain Conference forfeiture of
three football games won by Mon
tana State College is being pro
tested officially by the school.
A vote by faculty representatives
voiding MSG victories over Colo
rado State, Western State and Ida
ho State was announced late Sat
urday. This had the effect of deny
ing Montana State Its unofficial
conference championship and
awarding the title to Western
State.
The decision was based on the
fact that Vic Berra, star end for
the MSC Bobcats who transferred
from Eveleth, Minn., Junior Col
lege, was playing his fifth season
of college football.
Calling the forfeiture "arbitrary
and undemocratic procedure,"
MSC President R.R. Reene de
clared the school "does not recog
nize the legality" of the faculty rep-
resrntatives ruling at a meeting
in Denver.
Renne contended it was Invalid
because (1) the RMC represent
atives amended the conference
constitution to make a two-thirds
instead of a three-lourth vote bind
ing and then applied it retroactive
ly; (2) there was no protest from
any member'school of Berra's el
igibility under regulations that
such It question should raise a
week before any athletic event;
and (3) "there was no conference
rule In operation during the past
season that would permit the ac
tion taken In the conference meet
ing."
Monlant State officials, acting in
'good faith," removed Berra from
the player roster as soon as they
discovered he was Ineligible,
Renne said.
