Jay Duquette was the team captain.[2]

In January 1916, following a student competition to select an appropriate nickname for the school's athletic teams, the nickname "Bobcats" was adopted. Students Fred Bullock and Rupert Streits were credited jointly with offering the name. The Great Falls Daily Tribune expressed approval of the choice: "Fighting, cunning, daring, resourceful and wary is the bobcat, and above all he is a resident of the Treasure state."[3]
