Adelbert Raymond Montgomery[1] [2] (February 1, 1909 – May 26, 1966) was an American football guard at the University of Pittsburgh. He was a consensus All-American in 1929.
Montgomery was a native of West Virginia.[3] He played for the Pittsburgh Panthers football team under coach Jock Sutherland during the 1927, 1928 and 1929 seasons.[4] In his senior year he helped the team go 9-0 that earned a trip to the Rose Bowl. That year, as a 6-foot, 1-inch, 188-pound guard, he was recognized as a consensus first-team All-American, having received first-team honors from several publications and organizations including Collier's Weekly (Grantland Rice) and United Press (UP).[5]
Montgomery appeared in the 1930 film "Maybe It's Love." The film, directed by William A. Wellman, was a genre football comedy starring Joan Bennett, Joe E. Brown, and members of the 1928 and 1929 All-American football teams including Otto Pommerening, Howard Harpster, Bill Banker, Tim Moynihan, Elmer Sleight, Paul Scull, Wear Schoonover, Russell Saunders and USC coach Howard Jones.[6] [7]
In later life, Montgomery was in the automobile business in North Hollywood, California.[3] He died on May 26, 1966, in North Hollywood.[8]
