  So,
• 2:18
  yeah,
• 2:19
  so
• 2:19
  this
• 2:19
  one
• 2:19
  is,
• 2:20
  you
• 2:20
  know,
• 2:20
  Minnesota
• 2:23
  in
• 2:23
  1936,
• 2:24
  they
• 2:24
  played
• 2:25
  Washington
• 2:25
  at
• 2:26
  Washington,
• 2:26
  you
• 2:27
  know,
• 2:27
  so
• 2:27
  that
• 2:27
  was
• 2:28
  for
• 2:28
  them,
• 2:29
  that
• 2:29
  may
• 2:29
  have
• 2:29
  been
• 2:30
  their
• 2:30
  first
• 2:30
  time,
• 2:31
  you
• 2:32
  know,
• 2:32
  crossing
• 2:32
  the
• 2:32
  Rockies
• 2:33
  or,
• 2:33
  you
• 2:33
  know,
• 2:33
  going,
• 2:34
  going
• 2:35
  to
• 2:35
  the
• 2:35
  coast.
• 2:37
  They
• 2:38
  went
• 2:38
  back
• 2:38
  there
• 2:38
  in
• 2:38
  like
• 2:38
  41
• 2:39
  as
• 2:39
  well.
• 2:39
  But
• 2:40
  anyway,
• 2:41
  so,
• 2:41
  you
• 2:41
  know,
• 2:41
  it
• 2:41
  was
• 2:41
  a
• 2:42
  big
• 2:42
  deal
• 2:42
  for
• 2:42
  them.
• 2:43
  And
• 2:44
  their
• 2:44
  coach
• 2:44
  at
• 2:45
  the
• 2:45
  time
• 2:45
  was
• 2:45
  Bernie
• 2:46
  Beerman,
• 2:46
  who
• 2:47
  had
• 2:48
  played
• 2:48
  at
• 2:48
  Montana
• 2:50
  and
• 2:50
  coached
• 2:50
  at
• 2:50
  Montana
• 2:51
  before.
• 2:51
  He
• 2:51
  went
• 2:52
  to
• 2:52
  like,
• 2:52
  Tulane
• 2:53
  and
• 2:53
  then
• 2:53
  he
• 2:53
  ended
• 2:53
  up
• 2:53
  at
• 2:54
  Minnesota
• 2:54
  where
• 2:54
  he
• 2:54
  had
• 2:55
  his
• 2:55
  greatest
• 2:56
  success.
• 2:57
  But
• 2:57
  anyway,
• 2:58
  so
• 2:59
  what
• 2:59
  they
• 2:59
  ended
• 2:59
  up
• 3:00
  doing
• 3:00
  was
• 3:00
  they
• 3:01
  took
• 3:01
  the
• 3:01
  train
• 3:02
  with
• 3:02
  Pullman
• 3:03
  cars,
• 3:03
  so
• 3:03
  sleeping
• 3:04
  cars
• 3:05
  from
• 3:06
  Minneapolis
• 3:07
  out
• 3:07
  to
• 3:08
  I
• 3:09
  to
• 3:09
  Missoula,
• 3:09
  Montana,
• 3:10
  which
• 3:10
  is
• 3:10
  where
• 3:11
  the
• 3:11
  University
• 3:12
  of
• 3:12
  Montana
• 3:12
  is.
• 3:13
  And,
• 3:14
  you
• 3:15
  know,
• 3:15
  I
• 3:15
  think,
• 3:15
  you
• 3:15
  know,
• 3:15
  Bernie
• 3:16
  wanted
• 3:16
  to
• 3:16
  meet,
• 3:16
  meet
• 3:16
  up
• 3:17
  some
• 3:17
  people
• 3:17
  and
• 3:18
  they
• 3:18
  practiced
• 3:18
  there
• 3:19
  and
• 3:19
  stuff
• 3:19
  like
• 3:19
  that.
• 3:20
  So
• 3:20
  anyways,
• 3:21
  they,
• 3:22
  you
• 3:22
  know,
• 3:22
  they
• 3:22
  were
• 3:22
  staying
• 3:23
  overnight.
• 3:23
  So
• 3:23
  they
• 3:23
  stay
• 3:24
  at
• 3:24
  this
• 3:25
  Lawrence
• 3:25
  Hotel,
• 3:26
  which
• 3:26
  was
• 3:26
  a
• 3:27
  175
• 3:27
  room
• 3:28
  hotel,
• 3:28
  so
• 3:29
  pretty
• 3:29
  decent
• 3:30
  size
• 3:30
  hotel.
• 3:33
  And
• 3:33
  yeah,
• 3:33
  so
• 3:33
  that's
• 3:34
  kind
• 3:34
  of
• 3:34
  a
• 3:34
  boring
• 3:34
  story
• 3:35
  until
• 3:35
  4
• 3:36
  o'
• 3:36
  clock
• 3:36
  in
• 3:36
  the
• 3:36

  the
• 3:39
  reporters,
• 3:40
  newspaper
• 3:40
  reporters
• 3:41
  who's
• 3:41
  accompanying
• 3:42
  the
• 3:42
  team,
• 3:43
  awakens
• 3:44
  to
• 3:44
  smoke.
• 3:45
  And
• 3:46
  initially
• 3:46
  he
• 3:46
  thinks
• 3:46
  it's
• 3:47
  a
• 3:47
  forest
• 3:47
  fire,
• 3:47
  but
• 3:48
  realizes,
• 3:49
  no,
• 3:49
  this
• 3:49
  is
• 3:50
  you

  there's
• 3:51
  smoke
• 3:52
  in
• 3:52
  the
• 3:52
  hallway,
• 3:53
  so
• 3:53
  he
• 3:54
  runs
• 3:54
  downstairs.
• 3:55
  You
• 3:55
  know,
• 3:55
  at
• 3:55
  the
• 3:55
  time,
• 3:56

• 3:58
  right.
• 3:59
  You
• 3:59
  know,
• 3:59
  so
• 4:00
  he
• 4:00
  ran
• 4:00
  downstairs,
• 4:02
  alerted
• 4:03
  the
• 4:03

  and
• 4:04
  they're
• 4:04
  calling,
• 4:05
  you
• 4:05

  the
• 4:09
  floors,
• 4:10
  knocking
• 4:10
  on
• 4:10
  doors,
• 4:10
  waking
• 4:11
  people
• 4:11
  up.
• 4:12
  And
• 4:13
  so
• 4:13
  they
• 4:14
  end
• 4:14
  up
• 4:14
  in
• 4:14
  a
• 4:14
  situation
• 4:15
  where
• 4:16
  they

• 4:18
  You
• 4:18
  know,
• 4:18
  the
• 4:18
  team
• 4:18
  does
• 4:19
  roll

• 4:23
  They're

  the

  end
• 4:26
  coach
• 4:26
  runs
• 4:27
  back
• 4:27
  into
• 4:27
  the
• 4:27
  burning
• 4:28

  to
• 4:29
  try
• 4:29

  He

  ends
• 4:35
  up
• 4:35
  backing
• 4:35
  out.
• 4:36
  But
• 4:36
  luckily,
• 4:37
  these
• 4:37
  two
• 4:37
  guys
• 4:38
  had
• 4:39
  escaped,

  hotel
• 4:41
  and

• 4:50
  But
• 4:51
  the
• 4:51
  building
• 4:51
  burned
• 4:51
  down
• 4:51

  They,
• 5:02
  you
• 5:02
  know,
• 5:02
  their,
• 5:03
  you
• 5:03
  know,
• 5:03
  their
• 5:04
  books.
• 5:04
  They
• 5:05
  didn't
• 5:05
  have
• 5:05
  laptops
• 5:05
  at
• 5:06
  the
• 5:06
  time,
• 5:06
  so
• 5:06
  they
• 5:06
  didn't
• 5:06
  lose
• 5:06
  those.
• 5:07
  But
• 5:08
  like,
• 5:08
  a
• 5:08
  lot.
• 5:08
  A
• 5:09
  lot
• 5:09
  of
• 5:09
  guys,
• 5:09
  they
• 5:09
  lost
• 5:09
  their
• 5:10
  watches,
• 5:10
  they
• 5:10
  lost
• 5:10
  jewelry,
• 5:11
  and
• 5:12
  including
• 5:13
  charms
• 5:13
  from
• 5:14
  their
• 5:14
  previous
• 5:14
  national
• 5:15
  championships.
• 5:16
  So,
• 5:16
  you
• 5:16
  know,
• 5:17
  different
• 5:17
  awards
• 5:18
  they'd
• 5:18
  received.
• 5:19
  So
• 5:20
  pretty
• 5:20
  much
• 5:20
  everything
• 5:20
  was
• 5:21
  gone.
• 5:22
  And
• 5:23
  so
• 5:23
  they
• 5:23
  end
• 5:23
  up
• 5:23
  sleeping
• 5:24
  the
• 5:24
  night
• 5:24
  in
• 5:24
  the
• 5:24
  Pullman
• 5:25
  car
• 5:25
  and.
• 5:26
  Or
• 5:26
  pulling
• 5:27
  cars.
• 5:27
  And
• 5:29
  they
• 5:29
  eventually
• 5:30
  arrive
• 5:30
  in
• 5:30
  Washington.
• 5:31
  And
• 5:33
  during
• 5:33
  the
• 5:34
  game,
• 5:35
  somebody
• 5:35
  broke
• 5:35
  into
• 5:36
  their
• 5:36
  locker
• 5:36
  room
• 5:37
  and
• 5:37
  stole
• 5:38
  other
• 5:39
  stuff
• 5:39
  that
• 5:39
  they,
• 5:40
  you
• 5:40
  know,
• 5:40
  so
• 5:41
  if
• 5:41
  you
• 5:41
  didn't
• 5:41
  lose
• 5:42
  in
• 5:42
  the
• 5:42
  fire,
• 5:42
  you
• 5:43
  probably
• 5:43
  lost
• 5:43
  it
• 5:44
  while
• 5:44
  you're
• 5:44
  playing.
• 5:45
  Tim
• 5:45
  was
• 5:45
  there.
• 5:45
  Football
• 5:46
  equipment
• 5:46
  must
• 5:46
  have
• 5:46
  been
• 5:47
  on
• 5:47
  the
• 5:47
  train
• 5:47
  then.
• 5:47
  They
• 5:47
  didn't
• 5:48
  take
• 5:48
  it
• 5:48
  into
• 5:48
  the
• 5:49
  hotel.
• 5:49
  I
• 5:50
  went
• 5:50
  back
• 5:50
  and
• 5:50
  looked
• 5:51
  in
• 5:51
  the.
• 5:52
  In
• 5:52
  the
• 5:52
  articles,
• 5:53
  and
• 5:53
  I
• 5:53
  didn't
• 5:54
  see
• 5:54
  anything
• 5:54
  about
• 5:54
  their
• 5:54
  equipment.
• 5:55
  So
• 5:55
  I
• 5:55
  assumed
• 5:56
  that
• 5:56
  their
• 5:56
  equipment
• 5:56
  was
• 5:57
  largely
• 5:57
  on
• 5:58
  the
• 5:58
  train,
• 5:59
  at
• 5:59
  least
• 5:59
  they're,
• 6:00
  you
• 6:00
  know,
• 6:00
  the.
• 6:00
  The
• 6:00
  gear,
• 6:01
  Their.
• 6:01
  Their
• 6:02
  game
• 6:02
  gear.
• 6:03
  You
• 6:03
  know,
• 6:03
  they
• 6:04
  probably
• 6:04
  worked
• 6:04
  out,
• 6:04
  but
• 6:04
  just
• 6:05
  did
• 6:05
  it
• 6:05
  in,
• 6:05
  like,
• 6:05
  shorts
• 6:06
  and
• 6:06
  T
• 6:07
  shirts
• 6:07
  or
• 6:07
  something
• 6:07
  like
• 6:07
  that,
• 6:08
  you
• 6:08
  know,
• 6:08
  when
• 6:08
  they
• 6:08
  were
• 6:08
  in
• 6:08
  Missoula.
• 6:11
  But
• 6:12
  anyways,
• 6:12
  they
• 6:13
  made
• 6:13
  it
• 6:13
  to
• 6:13
  Seattle
• 6:14
  like,
• 6:14
  the
• 6:15
  following
• 6:15
  day
• 6:16
  and,
• 6:17
  you
• 6:17
  know,
• 6:18
  played
• 6:18
  a
• 6:18
  game.
• 6:18
  They
• 6:19
  ended
• 6:19
  up
• 6:19
  winning.
• 6:19
  They
• 6:19
  won,
• 6:20
  like,
• 6:20
  14,
• 6:20
  seven.
• 6:21
  So,
• 6:23
  you
• 6:23
  know,
• 6:23
  and
• 6:23
  that.
• 6:24
  But.
• 6:24
  And
• 6:25
  then
• 6:25
  even
• 6:25
  stuff
• 6:25
  like,
• 6:25
  you
• 6:26
  know,
• 6:26
  Jostens,
• 6:27
  which
• 6:28
  at
• 6:28
  least
• 6:29
  at
• 6:29
  the
• 6:29
  time
• 6:29
  was
• 6:29
  a
• 6:29
  Minnesota
• 6:30
  company,
• 6:31
  and
• 6:31
  they
• 6:31
  were
• 6:31
  the
• 6:32
  ones
• 6:32
  that
• 6:32
  had
• 6:32
  made
• 6:32
  all
• 6:32
  those
• 6:33
  charms.
• 6:33
  They
• 6:33
  Said,
• 6:34
  okay,
• 6:34
  hey,
• 6:34
  we'll.
• 6:35
  We'll
• 6:35
  redo
• 6:36
  all
• 6:36
  the
• 6:36
  charms
• 6:36
  for
• 6:36
  everybody
• 6:37
  that
• 6:37
  lost
• 6:37
  them.
• 6:37
  So,
• 6:38
  you
• 6:38
  know,
• 6:38
  the
• 6:38
  guys
• 6:38
  were
• 6:38
  able
• 6:38
  to
• 6:39
  get
• 6:39
  those
• 6:39
  things
• 6:39
  back,
• 6:41
  but.
• 6:42
  And
• 6:42
  then
• 6:42
  the
• 6:42
  team
• 6:42
  ended
• 6:43
  up
• 6:43
  going
• 6:43
  on.
• 6:44
  They
• 6:44
  actually
• 6:44
  finished
• 6:45
  second
• 6:45
  in
• 6:45
  the
• 6:45
  Big
• 6:46
  Ten
• 6:46
  to
• 6:46
  Northwestern,
• 6:48
  but
• 6:48
  they
• 6:49
  were
• 6:49
  the
• 6:49
  national
• 6:49
  champions
• 6:50
  that
• 6:50
  year.
• 6:51
  So.
• 6:51
  Anyway,
• 6:52
  it's
• 6:52
  just
• 6:52
  one
• 6:52
  of
• 6:52
  those
• 6:53
  crazy
• 6:53
  things.
• 6:53
  You
• 6:53
  just
• 6:54
  imagine,
• 6:56
  you
• 6:56
  know,
• 6:56
  a
• 6:57
  team
• 6:57
  experiencing
• 6:59
  a
• 6:59
  fire
• 6:59
  like
• 6:59
  that.
• 7:00
  Right.
• 7:00
  And
• 7:01
  basically
• 7:01
  losing
• 7:02
  everything.
• 7:02
  You
• 7:02
  know,
• 7:02
  I
• 7:03
  mean,
• 7:03
  they
• 7:03
  basically
• 7:04
  had
• 7:04
  the
• 7:04
  clothes
• 7:04
  on
• 7:04
  their
• 7:04
  back
• 7:06
  and
• 7:07
  that's
• 7:07
  it.
• 7:07
  So
• 7:07
  some
• 7:07
  guys
• 7:08
  were
• 7:08
  in
• 7:08
  pajamas,
• 7:08
  some
• 7:09
  guys,
• 7:09
  you
• 7:09
  know,
• 7:10
  sweatshoots
• 7:11
  or
• 7:11
  whatever
• 7:11
  they
• 7:11
  had.
• 7:13
  So
• 7:13
  anyways,
• 7:14
  just.
• 7:14
  They're
• 7:15
  obviously
• 7:16
  fortunate
• 7:16
  that
• 7:17
  no
• 7:17
  one
• 7:17
  was
• 7:17
  injured,
• 7:18
  at
• 7:19
  least
• 7:19
  seriously.
• 7:20
  And
• 7:20
  so.
• 7:21
  But
• 7:21
  just
• 7:21
  kind
• 7:21
  of
• 7:22
  a
• 7:22
  crazy
• 7:22
  story.
• 7:23
  Yeah,
• 7:23
  still.
• 7:23
  Still,
• 7:23
  you
• 7:24
  would
• 7:24
  think,
• 7:24
  you
• 7:24
  know,
• 7:24
  just
• 7:25
  to
• 7:25
  have
• 7:25
  some
• 7:25
  of
• 7:25
  the
• 7:26
  trauma
• 7:26
  of.
• 7:26
  Of
• 7:27
  having
• 7:27
  that,
• 7:27
  you
• 7:27
  know,
• 7:28
  you
• 7:29
  know,
• 7:29
  a
• 7:29
  near
• 7:29
  miss,
• 7:30
  really,
• 7:30
  to.
• 7:30
  To
• 7:31
  the
• 7:31
  whole
• 7:31
  team
• 7:32
  that.
• 7:32
  And
• 7:33
  then
• 7:33
  they're
• 7:33
  still
• 7:33
  traveling,
• 7:34
  going
• 7:34
  and
• 7:34
  playing
• 7:34
  a
• 7:34
  game
• 7:35
  a
• 7:35
  couple
• 7:35
  days
• 7:35
  later,
• 7:36
  and,
• 7:36
  you
• 7:36
  know,
• 7:36
  they
• 7:37
  gotta
• 7:37
  travel
• 7:37
  all
• 7:37
  the
• 7:37
  way
• 7:37
  back
• 7:38
  across
• 7:38
  the
• 7:38
  country
• 7:39
  and.
• 7:39
  And
• 7:39
  have
• 7:39
  their
• 7:40
  stuff
• 7:40
  stolen
• 7:40
  and
• 7:41
  go
• 7:41
  through
• 7:41
  all
• 7:42
  that,
• 7:42
  and
• 7:42
  to
• 7:42
  still
• 7:42
  play
• 7:43
  that.
• 7:43
  Well,
• 7:43
  that's.
• 7:43
  That's
• 7:44
  pretty
• 7:44
  amazing.
• 7:45
  Yeah,
• 7:45
  and
• 7:45
  they
• 7:45
  were,
• 7:46
  you
• 7:46
  know,
• 7:46
  they
• 7:46
  were
• 7:46
  guys
• 7:46
  playing
• 7:47
  for
• 7:47
  Minnesota,
• 7:47
  so
• 7:47
  they
• 7:48
  wouldn't
• 7:48
  had
• 7:48
  any
• 7:48
  books
• 7:48
  with
• 7:49
  them,
• 7:49
  you
