Montgomery was building from virtually no base of talent.  Tom Davis had left the program and was bitter because Chris Monk (his prize recruit) could not get through Old Union.  He said something along the lines of "Stanford would never be successful in basketball due to its academic requirements."    Monty proved that it could be done on the hoops court.    Then the naysayers started saying that it could never be done in football.... 

Were entrance requirements relaxed after Dr. Tom Davis departed?
