WALLY SCHWANK, ATHLETIC DIRECTOR The man with the brains behind the MSU athletic organization is Dr. Walter (Wally) Schwank, MSU director of health, physical education and athletics. Wally took over the athletic director duties July 1, I96 I following the resignation of George (Jiggs) Dahlberg.
In the interval, he has reshaped the athletic and physical
education departments into smoothly-running machines. Schwank was graduated cum laude from Coe College, Iowa, in 1934, and received his M. A. and Ph. D degrees rrom the University of Iowa in 19^5 and 1955*
Coaching for some
16 years in five Iowa high schools, Schwank began coaching freshman football and teaching physical education classes in 1950 at the University of Iowa. Returning to his alma mater, Coe College, he served four and one-half years as athletic director and head football coach.
His football teams compiled a 2 5 -7 record
in four years, won two conference championships and posted an unbeaten record in 1 9 5 9 Following a year as athletic director at South Dakota State College, Schwank came to the big sky country of Montana, a section of the nation he had long admired. Active in national physical education organizations and community affairs, Schwank has had a busy year working out plans for expanding Grizzly booster groups, scheduling future games with Grizzly opponents, and working out proposals for new affiliation by Montana State University.
RAY JENKINS, HEAD FOOTBALL COACH Ray (Earthquake) Jenkins begins his fifth campaign at the Grizzly grid helm this fall. The head coach, a former farm boy from southeastern Colorado, is a three-letterman in varsity sports for the University of Colorado.
He was selected all-conference fullback
two years, was conference wrestling champ and won first place in the discus throw two years in conference track meets.
Jenkins received his bachelorTs degree from Colorado
in 1942 and a masterTs degree from the same institution in 195 *+• While at Colorado, Jenkins played his freshman and sophomore years under Bernard F.
(Bunny) Oakes, who had been Grizzly football coach from 1931-3*+--a jot that Jenkins was to inherit later. After graduation from Colorado in 1942, Jenkins entered the service and was head wrestling coach at San Diego Naval Training Station and won the 11th Naval District Team wrestling crown.
Later he coached one of the Farragut Naval Training Station teams to
a base football championship.
He also served 13 months as a torpedo boat commander in
the South Pacific. Jenkins became line coach,head wrestlingcoach and track coach and trainer for all sports at the Colorado School of
Mines in 1946.
In 1948 he moved to the University of
Colorado as freshman football coach and head wrestling coach. At Colorado Jenkin*s frosh teams had outstanding success for six years, and in 1954 he was elevated to end coach.
Under his tutelage Colorado produced three All-Big
Seven Conference ends. In 1958 Jenkins came to Montana State University as head football coach, replacing coach Jerry Williams who had coached University grid teams since 1955* During the past four years, the head MSU coach has gained himself a reputation throughout Montana as an astute coach who studies the game with devotion, a good recruiter, an excellent handler of men, and an amiable, friendly person. Although Jenkins* win-loss record at Montana is not an exceptional one, he chalked up a 5-5 record in i9 6 0 , the best mark that the University has achieved in football since 1950 when coach Ted Shipkey also
had a5-5 record.
HUGH DAVIDSON, BACKFIELD COACH Hugh (Little Professor) Davidson, backfield coach for the Grizzlies, is nationally recognized for his ability to teach pass defense. Davidson came to Montana State University in 1958; the first man to be appointed by Hay Jenkins to serve on his football staff, and like Jenkins, this will be Davidson*s fifth season at the University.
The backfield coach is a former fullback for the University of Colorado where he played during the 19*+9; 50, and 51 seasons.
Weighing only 163 pounds at the time,
Davidson was short on poundage but heavy on desire and spark and is well remembered at the Colorado institution.
His quick move into the collegiate coaching ranks is a
testimonial to his drive and ability. After graduation from Colorado in 1952, he became head football coach at Osborn, Kansas, High School.
In two years his teams won l6 , lost 1 and tied 1 and were conference
champions both seasons. In 1954 Davidson moved directly from Osborn back to Colorado University where he coached freshman grid ball for four years before coming to Montana State University. Besides his football coaching duties, Davidson is also freshman basketball coach.
Davidson is a native of Grant, Nebraska, and is a Navy veteran with two years' service in the Seebees from 1946 to 19**8; the year he entered Colorado. MILT SCHWENK3 LINE COACH
Milt (Philosopher) Schwenk, line coach, begins his third season coaching the hefty beef on the Grizzly line. Schwenk, a native of Sunnyvale, Washington, graduated from Washington State College in 195*+-
He starred as a tackle for the Washington State Cougars in 1951; 52 and 5 3 .
After receiving his degree, he coached one year at Colville, Washington, High School.
He
then entered the U* S. Air Force, and during his tour of duty was the line coach and head coach for the Hamilton Air Force football squad in California.
At Hamilton, he was
also a coaching mate of former MSU end coach Don Branby. Following his discharge from the service, Schwenk took over the football and baseball coaching duties at Wenatchee Junior College for the 1958 and 59 seasons. Schwenk also coaches the Montana State University baseball team.
ED CHINSKE, FRESHMAN COACH Ed Chinske is again head freshman football coach this fall.
An experienced man at the rough grid sport, Ed is a former Grizzly who played fullback and quarterback from 1926-28 for the University and starred along with many "Grizzly Greats". the freshman team.
His senior year he was captain of the team, and in 1929 He coached During his college career, he also won two letters in baseball, as
a shortstop, and three letters in basketball, as a forward.
Chinske also has the
distinction of winning the first University letter in golf. After graduation in 1930; Chinske coached highly successful high school championship teams at Miles City and Missoula.
In 1946 he returned to his alma mater as head baseball
coach and freshman football and basketball coach. Chinske revived baseball at the University, after the sport had been dormant for some 20 years.
His teams won 60 and lost 56 . Prior to that, Chinske had played summer
baseball for many years, last with Missoula in the Montana State League, and was captain of the team that won the 1937 pennant in that circuit. He had only one losing season in basketball in six years and produced Grizzly Cub football teams that won 13 and lost 3*
In 1952 Chinske took over as head football coach at the University when Ted Shipkey resigned as coach.
He held this position for three seasons.
several national football records.
His teams in 1952 established
The Denver Post selected Chinske as Skyline Coach of
the Year in 1953* After the 1954 season, Chinske left the head football coaching post and was appointed University golf coach, a position he has held ever since.
An amateur golfer himself,
Chinske is well known in Montana golf circles and has consistently placed high in golf tournaments around Montana.
Since 1954, Chinske has had many other duties in the MSU Health and Physical Education Department, including the job of intermural sports director.
BART THIEL, ASSISTANT FRESHMAN COACH A new face in the MSU Athletic Department this fall is that of Bart Thiel who will be helping Ed Chinske as assistant freshman coach.
Thiel was graduated from Coe College last spring majoring in health and physical education.
He has been selected as a graduate assistant in the MSU Health and Physical
Education Department.
He will probably be coaching freshman baseball next spring or
assisting with spring varsity football, as well as coaching freshman football. A native of Elkader, Iowa, Thiel was graduated from high school there in 1958* played all four major high school sports.
He
At Coe, Thiel earned six letters, three in
football and three in baseball, and is considered one of the best fullbacks produced in Iowa in recent years.
NASEBY RHINEHART, TRAINER Now beginning his 2bth season as the "tape and linament" specialist for Montana State University, Nase Rhinehart needs no introduction to sports enthusiasts of the Rocky Mountain area. Starting his training facilities from almost nothing in 1935; following graduation from MSU with honors, Nase built up one of the best equipped training rooms in the nation. Every athlete receives highly skilled professional treatment. The Grizzly trainer came from Milwaukee, Wisconsin where he played football on the city championship teams of 1928 and 1929*
In 1928 he was selected All-City end, the
first Negro to receive the honor at Milwaukee.
Nase was persuaded by his friend James
Dorsey, a prominent Milwaukee lawyer and former Montana State University football letterman, to continue his education at MSU. In four years at MSU he won nine varsity letters in football, basketball and track. He was chosen All-Player Honorable Mention All-American for his football play and still rates a position on the Grizzly All-Time Football Team. In track he broadjumped and only a half dozen Grizzly athletes have bettered his record in 36 years. Nase was an outstanding defensive player and rebounder.
22* 9�;
In basketball
His senior year Nasewon the
Grizzly Cup, as well as receiving many other honors. On March 3 , 1956 , after 20 years service as Grizzly trainer, hundreds of persons from the community of Missoula and the State of Montana, plus many friends across the
nation, paid tribute to Nase at "Naseby Rhinehart Night" following the Montana-Colorado A & M basketball game. Three years later Nase was nominated for the Silver Anniversary football team, annually selected by Sports Illustrated Magazine.
In i960 he received the annual Ray T. Rocene
Sportsman of the Year Award.
RUPPERT HOLLAND, EQUIPMENT MANAGER Ruppert (Sarge) Holland, Grizzly equipment manager, is starting his fifth year as a mainstay in the MSU athletic department--taking care of thousands of dollars worth of athletic equipmento A native of Shelby, N. D., Holly enlisted in the Army right after high school in 1925•
He continued in this profession for 25 years, retiring in 1950 as a master
sergeant.
He served in Alaska, Panama, Hawaii, Germany and many other military posts
around the world. In 1956 he accepted the equipment manager’s job following the retirement of Carl O ’Laughlin.
After years of observing persons in controlled situations, psychologists tell us (undoubtedly with tongue-in-cheek) that they can accurately foretell almost to the detail the behavior patterns of an individual or group in any given situation. Although many foolhardy souls attempt to make a business doing so, no prognosticator has yet devised a sure-fire way of predicting the capricious world of college sports.
The unforeseen and downright unbelievable and ludicrous will
give any sports writer (and coach) suicidal tendencies when he wakes Sunday morning, reads the paper, and sees what happened to his well-thought-out calculations. So it goes with Montana State University football.
You will recall last season
that the prediction-department boys gave the New Mexico Lobos two touchdowns over the Grizzlies. favor.
It turned out to be a J+0-8 Homecoming upset in the Silvertips1
The MSU squad was leading 9-0 going into the fourth quarter of the Grizzly-
Bobcat squabble when the boobs ended the contest for a 10-9 victory.
Two other
encounters--Brigham Young and Idaho--were thought to be possible University wins. However, BYU skinned by 7-6; and Idaho pulled it out of the fire, l6-l4, in the waning minutes.
So the Grizzlies finished the season, two and six.
This writer, along with many others, has graduated from the prophecy school and foresworn the crystal ball.
No words of wisdom for the fans are forthcoming
this season--just the conservative facts (that’s a good propaganda term) to let you make the pre-game decisions. Now that we have that settled, let’s look at the Grizzly team. Fifteen Grizzlies walked down the aisle for University sheepskins last spring or summer, leaving the grid team short on depth, especially at the quarterback, fullback, center and tackle positions.
Twenty lettermen and others are back for
at least another year of action, and twenty-four sophomores are giving it the good ’ol first-year college try. The quarterback position is the spot that really has the MSU coaching staff
staying up nights worrying.
MSU’s famed signal caller Bob O'Billovich graduated,
leaving us with pleasant memories, two senior quarterbacks who are short on experience and two young sophomore candidates. All four have good and bad qualities, causing head coach Ray Jenkins to comment:
"I wish I could put all four in a bag, shake it, and produce one
outstanding one.11 Paul Miller at the moment is probably the leading contender for the coveted field general post.
Miller is fast and is good on the option play, but needs some
hard work on defense and blocking. fair job of blocking and running.
Bill Stack is an average passer and does a Sophomore Tom Huffer is a big kid whose strong
points are passing and defense, and beginner Gary Jenkins is a good runner and commendable on the bootleg.
A fifth quarterback prospect, Dan Smelko, has been
moved to fullback to give that position more depth. Aside from quarterback, the MSU Grizzly backfield could prove to be the strong powerhouse it has been in past years.
Versatile left halfback Terry Dillon
as one of the most exceptional backfield men the University has had in recent yearso
He does everything well.
Along with fleet Pat Dodson, who apparently has
recovered from last year’s serious knee injury, and Ron Werba, MSU’s leading scorer last season, the University will probably have one of the smoothest running and passing backfield machines in the Pacific Northwest. Giving those halfbacks plenty of reserve-team help will be veterans Bill Martin, at left, and Steve Wood and Dick Miller, at right.
Yearlings, at left,
Paul Amadio and Lee Swanson, and at right, Myles Vandergrift, may be called on for limited action before the season is finished. The fullback position, as mentioned before, is in the capable hands of senior Ron Werbac
Veteran Pete Gotay is tough and will be number two man behind Werba.
A sophomore transfer from Notre Dame, Joe Krajacic, is a speed merchant, and once he becomes familiar with the Grizzly game of football, he may become very useful. Coach Jenkins considers center Tom Hauck to be one of the key men in the Grizzly starting string this season. ten games.
He will likely hold down the center post for all
Old timer Dennis Kimmitt is second-team center, and newcomer Charles
Bultman is about third. The guard spots have fairly good depth, with many veterans back, and the newcomers eyeing the starting spots. Many believe that Jim Bartell is the best-around lineman on the squad at right guard.
Their evaluation is certainly close.
Backing Bartell up will be tough first-
year candidates Gerald Luchau, Pat McLemore, and Lewis Schneller. At left guard, Dan Peters, the "bad luck" Grizzly who was out of action almost all last season, appears to have a starting post. probable replacement in case of reinjury.
Senior Jack Shevalier is his
Brent Russell, a transfer from Montana
State College, and sophomore Denny Price will be about third-string prospects. The tackle spots, especially right, are not quite so fortunate in depth. "Old steady" Carl Schwertfeger, the last of the three famed Schwertfegeis who have played Grizzly grid ball in recent years, is a healthy candidate at left tacke.
The starting man, however, appears to be junior George Dennis, who jumped
from third string to first after showing hustle and desire in early practice. Senior Bruce Wallwork is either second or third-string material. Coach Jenkins has a problem at right tackle. are hard and experienced workers, but are limited.
Larry Scovel and Dick Gilder Newcomer Fred Calder, a
transfer from Potomac State College in West Virginia, is a big man and may be Jenkins* solution to the problem.
Jim Whipple, a sophomore, will undoubtedly
be an appreciated addition to the team before the season is ended.
Whipple does a
fair job of booting the ball, however, and may be used as a specialist at that trade. Left end has no problem with senior Dick Huse in charge.
Huse is considered
the best anchor man on the team and will be making the headlines again this season.
Another outstanding veteran helping out Huse will be Bill Bouchee.
John Barbarie, a sophomore, will give good bench strength. When a college coach gives a starting position to a sophomore, you can bet your last nickel the sophomore must have terrific potential.
That's the analysis
of right end Crist Pomajevich, nephew of Grizzly great Joe Pomajevich who played for MSU in the thirties.
Tall and lanky, he runs like a prairie antelope
and will be making a name for himself before long. Senior Bill Ellison and newcomer Bob Crippen are likely second and third men at right end. The overall picture in a nutshell:
The backfield looks good and fast.
The Line has some notable weak spots that may be alleviated by the development of sophomores.
Offense looks fair and defense needs lots of work.
A passing-
catching combination may work, but a running game will likely produce better results.
Lack of depth at many positions, but good depth at others.

A respectable
But if many injuries occur, trouble will result by using second and
third-team replacements. I'd be contradicting myself if I made some pre-game jabs at how the Grizzlies will fare this season. talking about:
However, I can quote somebody who knows what he's
Coach Jenkins thinks the men will have a tough go against Wyoming,
Utah State and New Mexico.
He said there will be a 50-50 chance of victory against
the other seven--North Dakota, Idaho, Weber, Brigham Young, Idaho State, Montana State, and Colorado State University. Three Silvertip contests will have an air of mystery.
The University beat
North Dakota in i9 6 0 , but didn't play the Sioux last season.
Weber College is a
new four-year institution at Ogden, Utah, that the Grizzlies have never met. And Idaho State has been hiding down in Pocatello for many years.

we competed against the Bengals was in the dark ages of 1936. Four home games are slated, with the remaining six on the road.
Homecoming is

PLAYER THUMBNAILS Quarterbacks.... Tom Huffer, soph., 1 8 5 , 6-0, Maywood, 111. Huffer is a big kid whose strong points are passing and defense. He may see some limited action. Gary Jenkins, soph., 188, 5-11, Great Falls, Mont. A transfer from Kansas State, Jenkins is a fine passer and good on the bootleg. Like Huffer, he will probably be slated from some limited play. Paul Miller, sr., 170, 5-10, Miles City, Mont., one-year letterman. A fast man who saw some action last year, Miller needs practice on defense and throwing. He will likely be started in several games. Dan Smelko, soph., I8 5 , 5-10?, Hubbard, Ohio. Another reserve man at the field general post, Smelko has a fine football background. He's good on defense, but needs to work to perfect his passing. Bill Stack, sr., 190^6-0, Butte, Mont. At the moment, Stack is the best looking candidate for starting quarterback. An average passer and blocker, he runs the ball fairly capable. Halfbacks.... Paul Amadio, soph., l6(J-5-10, New York, N. Y. Willing and tough, Amadio will be about a 4th string left halfback and will provide excellent bench strength. Terry Dillon, sr., 190^6-0, Hopkins, Minn., two-year letterman. As fine a football player on the Grizzxy team, Dillon has improved more than anyone on the squad, especially in blocking and defense. A leading Silvertip passer, runner, and kicker, Dillon specializes in just about everything on the football field and does it well. He's the leading Grizzly honor's candidate. Pat Dodson, sr., 175, 5-10, Shelby, Mont., two-year letterman. Dodson, injured much of last season, should stage a comeback this season, but may be limited. Small In size, but large in desire, talent and speed. Dodson has contributed to a fine Montana backfield the past two seasons. Bill Martin, soph., 1 8 5 , 5“10, Dillon, Mont. The number two man behind left halfback Terry Dillon, Martin will be depended upon to help out much this season. Dick Miller, sr., 180^ 5-10-g-, Hopkins, Minn., two-year letterman. A defensive specialist, this well-season two-year letterman will provide great help at the right halfback position. He should see a great deal of action this season. Lee Swanson, soph., 165,5-10, Whitefish, Mont. Potentially, he isone of the finest players on the team. He'll be number three man behind Terry DillonandBill Martin and may see some game time before the end of the season. Steve Wood, jr., 1 8 5 , 5-11> Miles City, Mont., one-year letterman. Injured part of last season, Wood has recovered and looked well in the spring game. He'll be at least number two man behind Pat Dodson at right halfback.
Myles Vandergrift, soph., 1 6 5 , 5-9; Hos Angeles, Calif. Needs lots of development, but Vandergrift looks as though he may develop into a capable right halfback in several years.
Fullbacks.... Pete Gotay, soph., 200, 6-0, Clarkstown, N. Y. A strong, heavy kid, Gotay has great potential. He will probably see limited playing this season.
nails.
Pete Leech, soph., l60, 5-11; Daly City, Calif. A little guy, Leech is tougher than He's also an excellent student, frequently pulling down straight A's.
Ron Werba, sr., 1 9 0 , 5-11, Chicago, 111., two-year letterman. Along with Terry Dillon at left halfback, Ron Werba at fullback will provide a powerful combination. The leading Grizzly scorer last season, Werba will be giving it all he has In his final year of play. Centers.... Charles Bultman, soph., 210,6-0, Souderton, Pa. Bultman made the most tackles in the spring game. The MSU coaches have their eye on him as a possible strong center in several years. Dennis Kimmitt, sr., 204, 5-11, Great Falls, Mont., one-year letterman. Kimmitt is not an exceptional center, and he'll be about third-string material. With a little work and devotion, he might pick up a number two rating.
Gary Svee, soph., 220, 6-3, Columbus, Mont. Svee is good reserve material at center.
A large player, hovering around 220,
Guards.... Jim Bartell, sr., 200, 6-0, Glencoe, 111., two-year letterman. Bartell is assured of a starting position at right guard. Another strong point in the Grizzly line, Bartell is a leader and likely will be a co-captain. Gerald Luchau, soph., 200, 5-10, Missoula, Mont. Luchau was a freshman on the MSU campus in 1957- He went into the service and has returned. He is made of rough stuff, and knows how to block with exceptional tenacity. Sports fans will be hearing much about Luchau in coming years. Pat McLemore, soph., 200, 6-1^, Anaconda, Mont. McLemore will likely be the number three man atthe right guard slot and will provide talented depth. Dan Peters, sr., 200, 6-0, Butte, Mont., two-year letterman, Peters, injured most of last season, has had a lot of bad luck. A blood clot in the leg put him out of action last year. This season he is almost a sure starter at left guard. A natural leader, he'll probably be another co-captain. Dennis Price, soph., l60, 5-7; Missoula, Mont. Although light, this boy istough and loves to play the game. He'll provide reserve strength at left guard.
Brent Russell, soph., 205, 6-1, Missoula, Mont. A transfer from Montana State College, Russell is unfamiliar with Grizzly football. But potentially, Russell is full of ability and may see some starting action before the season is over. Lewis Schneller, soph., 1 9 0 , 5 -9 , Butte, Mont. Schneller will be about the number four man at right guard. He has some ability, but will need lots of further development. Jack Shevalier, sr., 200, 5-10; Helena, Mont., two-year letterman. Shevalier is slow to ever be a great football player. Nevertheless, he's reliable to have around and will provide some help at left guard. Tackles---
George Dennis, jr., 215, 5-H?> Vancouver, B. C., one-year letterman. Former MSU end coach Don Branby sent this lad down from Vancouver. He's strong and has terrific speed, but needs much development. Plays left tackle. Dick Gilder, sr., 205, 6-0, Red Lodge, Mont., one-year letterman. Gilder is a steady, dependable player who gives out 100 per cent when on the field. Terry Marks, soph., 230, 5-11, Hardin, Mont. Marks is a big kid who must get in shape to play good ball. He also needs lots of development. When these two things are accomplished, he'll be valuable addition at left tackle. Eugene Moe, sr., 210, 6-2, Helena, Mont., two-year letterman. During spring practice coach Jenkins moved Moe from right end to right tackle in hopes of giving strength to this weak spot in the Grizzly line. He dislocated a shoulder in spring practice, but should be capable this fall. Carl Schwertfeger, sr., 210, 6 -3 , Milwaukee, Wis., two-year letterman. "Old steady" gives it everything he's got. An almost sure starter at left guard, Carl is the last of the Schwertfeger brothers who played Grizzly football in recent years. Larry Scovel, sr., 210, 6 -3 , Kalispell, Mont. Big and strong, Scovel doesn't have exceptional ability. He'll probably be a kickoff specialist this year for the Grizzlies. Bruce Wallwork, jr., 205, 6-0, Honolulu, Hawaii, one-year letterman. Tough and strong, Wallwork could easily be number one left tackle with a little more experience. Jim Whipple, soph., 222, 6-2, Helena, Mont. Whipple will provide some appreciated talent at the weak right tackle spot. He'll need lots of work, however. Ends.... John Barbarie, soph., 200, 6-1, Calgary, Alta. John played little football before coming to MSU. Coach Jenkins changed him from a linebacker to an end. He's the best catching end among the newcomers and even better than some of the veterans. Good possibilities exist for Barbarie. Bill Bouchee, sr., 1 8 5 , 6-1, Livingston, Mont., two-year letterman. Bouchee will likely be playing left end. He should have a good year. He's not quite first string material, but has great potential.
Bob Crippen, soph., 185, 6-0, Butte, Mont. Crippen, an All-State end from Butte, â– will be a fine prospect with further development. Bill Ellison, sr., 205, 6-3, Mandan, N. D., one-year letterman. Ellison came along fine in spring ball. He'll probably be about a number four man at right end. Rocky Greenfield, soph., 200, 6-7, Missoula, Mont. Also a member of the MSU basketball team, Greenfield is a fine prospect and has a football background. He needs some work on coordination and speed. Dick Huse, sr., 200, 6-0, Great Falls, Mont., two-year letterman. A guard in high school, Huse is the best end on the Grizzly team and should be exceptional in his final year of play for the Grizzlies. He's assured of a starting post at left end. Gene Leonard, soph., 200, 6-2, Bay City, Mich. Leonard will probably develop some this year. He's about a number three man at left end. Crist Pomajevich, soph., 195, 6 -l|r, Superior, Mont. Pomajevich is a former Marine Corp gridder who likes the game. He's a roughneck when it comes to football and shows tremendous promise at the right end spot.

Losses: (l6)--Ends John Engel and Kevin Ward; tackles Howard Colling, Dan Grego, and John Mawhinney; guards Daryl Matthews, Len Bashford, and Ted Francis; centers Stan Popeck, Dick Williams, and Don Heldt; quarterbacks Chuck Lamson, Andy Melosky, and Dave Cronk, halfback Dick Behning, and fullback Bob Bisacre. Promising newcomers: End John Dowler; tackle Wilbert Radosevich; guard Bob Klaver; lineman John Sorino; center Dick Barry; quarterbacks Allen Frude, Jeff Hartman, and Tom Wilkinson; halfbacks Alan Johnson, and George Squires, and fullback Dave Marion. OVERALL OUTLOOK: If coach Eaton can come up with a quarterback to replace the outstanding Chuck Lamson and trigger the Pokes * new balanced-line T offense and have some help at center, Wyoming should be in a good position to start off Western Athletic Conference competition. A clutch of some of the hardest running youngsters in the Rockies spearheads the Pokes* patented crunching ground game. Passing should be improved and the defense is expected to be tough again. Much of the Cowboys* success will depend upon how well they fare in rugged season openers. Montana, New Mexico, Washington State, and Utah poase headaches the first four weekends and the pressure doesn*t slacken as Texas Western, Arizona, Colorado State University, Air Force, Utah State, and Brigham Young follow on successive Saturdays. For the Pokes in *62
it will be a nev coaching staff in a new league with a new offense. Series Began: No ties. 1961 Result:

Losses: (8 ) — End Gene Tetrault, guards Charley Kankel, and Dick Nelson, center Duane Breitling; quarterback Bill Leifur; halfbacks Pepper Lysaker and Joe Taylor, and fullback Dave Walker. Promising Newcomers: End Dennis Olson, tackles Steve Indahl and Mel Boehland; guards Tom Felix and Don Gulseth; center Dale Neppel; halfbacks Duane Domack, Dave Osborn, Dick Riedberger, and Dick Wozney, and fullbacks Earl Edgar and Roger Sundahl. PROSPECTUS BY DEPARTMENTS Backfield: Quarterbacks and fullbacks should be adequate, but all halfbacks except three non-lettering squadmen from last fall have no experience as varsity performers. Line: The Sioux have untried sophomores at center, and two injured lettering senior tackles still on the doubtful list. Ends and guards should be okay. Injuries cannot be afforded at any line position. Overall Outlook: Success depends on development at halfbacks, centers, and tackles among sophomore crew. This is a question-mark year. If things turn right, the Sioux will be tough. Series began: 19lb, with the University of North Dakota winning 2 and Montana State University winning 6 . No ties. i960 Result:

Lettermen Returning: (2 3 ) -- Ends Roger Foulk, Jim McNaughton, and Paul Mortensen; tackles Lionel Aldridge, Max Miller, Dan Noecker, and Alan Nelson; guards Steve Cohen, Jim Smith, Dick Ogden, Frank Costello and Klair Jeppesen; centers Randall £yson and Skip Husbands; quarterbacks Jim Turner, Bill Munson, and Steve Shafer; halfbacks Terry Cagaanan, Larry Bryan, and Roger Leonard, and fullbacks Ray Howard, Charles Claybaugh, and Bill Mattson. Losses: (9 ) — Ends Bill Dahme and Carl Hunt; tackles Merlin Olsen, Clyde Brock, and Clark Miller; guards Bill Dickey and Willie Redmond; quarterback Mel Montalbo, and halfback Tom Marscheid. Promising Newcomers: Tackle Bill Williamson, guard Veran Smith; halfbacks Darrell Roberts and Bob Umemura, and fullback Larry Campbell. OVERALL OUTLOOK: Center Randall Tyson, All-Skyline end Lionel Aldridge and fullback Ray Harward are the only returning starters off the 1961 team which finished 9 -0 - 1 in scheduled play. But there are 23 letterman in fold, including six players from the *6 l second unit and the entire third unit. Aldridge has been moved to tackle leaving the terminals to probable starters Roger Foulk and Jim McNaughton. Both played second unit as sophs. Squad member Bill Basas looks most logical at left tackle and a fine set of guards in lettermen Jim Smith and Steve Cohen take up a lot of slack. Probable starting backfield is a pick from quarterbacks Jim Turner, Steve Shafer and Bill Munson. Larry Bryan and Darrell Roberts lead a strong group of left halfs and Terry Cagaanan and Roger Leonard the right halfbacks. Letterman Charles Claybaugh tops the defenders at fullback and is pushing Harward and transfer Larry Campbell on the offensive role. Outstanding transfers are Campbell, 220-pound sophomore, and halfback Dick Austin, 200-pound junior. Nine outstanding sophomores include guards Rollie Gobi and Veran Smith, center Jim Bowen, halfback Bob Umemura and fullback Bill Callahan. In the line, the position where Utah State was strongest in 1961 , its tackles,
â–
this season will be the weakest spot on the squad. From an experience standpoint, Utah State will have to play with mediocre tackles. But every other position has been supported and the switch in strength to guards and ends will call for depth which Utah State appears to have. Center has three tested and three willing. Aggie backfield talent is more than adequate despite the loss of All-American Tom Larscheid. There is more power and size to pack the ball. The holes may not be as big as a year ago, but the momentum will blast some, and the famed Aggie sweeps will cause plenty of defensive grief. Quarterbacking heads are experienced from an 1 8 -1 -1 record over the past two schedules. Series began:
1904, with Utah State winning 19, Montana State University 8 . No ties.

Lettermen Returning: (l8 )--Ends Alex Klidzjes and Larry Stachler; guards Don Matthews, Mike Baumann, Denny Almquist, and Darwin Doss; tackles Ellery Brown, Jim Moran, Joe Cramer, and Tom Nelson; centers John Siath and Bob Ames; quarterbacks Gary Miles and Gary Gagnon; halfbacks Ron Kulm and Bob Johnson, and fullbacks Mike Jordan and Galen Rodgers. Losses: (l4)--Ends Reg Carolan, Bill Hill, and Bill White; tackles Zeke Urko, Dave Putnam, and John Desmond; guards John Nilsson and Dick Monahan; center Jim Decko; quarterbacks Mike Mosolf and Rick Dobbins; halfbacks Dick Money and Gene Bates, and fullback Gary Spray. Promising Newcomers: Ends Vern Leyde, Ed Monahan, Darrell Rich and Bob Hammond; tackles Max Leetzow and John Derne; guards Harry Allison, Frank Dunbar and Jim Strong; quarterback Mike Whiles and halfbacks Rich Naccarato, Mickey Rice, Joe Chapman, and Clarence Kleber. PROSPECTUS BY DEPARTMENTS: Backfield: Two of the toughest fullbacks around, Mike Jordan and Galen Rodgers, give strength and depth to a backfield composed of sophomore halfbacks and one-year lettermen quarterbacks. Good speed and abundance of young performers to go with veterans Ron Kulm and Bob Johnson brighten the halfback picture. Gary Mires and Gary Gagnon are both adept quarterbacks with rookie Mike Whiles slated for a season of schooling on defense. If the line gets the job done, this backfield can roll. Line:
Tackle and right end are the two problems facing the Idaho line coaching staff. Replacements for three-year letterman split end Reg Carolan were standing in line, but the tight end spot has been hard to fill. Finally Tom Nelson, who held the job in *6 l, had to be moved to the tackle spot and the sophomores took over. Guards are strong and deep with four junior lettermen on hand and a couple of tough sophomores pushing for positions. Centers are adequate.
Overall Outlook: If the better depth that new coach Dee Andros has attracted happens to have any talent, and the same fighting spirit prevails that has marked Idaho football since last fall, Idaho could win its share this season. Gone from the slate are the big inter sectionals and the host of bowl teams that the Vandals have played the past few seasons. In place of them, however, are homecoming grudge battles with Montana and Montana State, the first battle with Idaho State and some two toughies against Utah and Utah State. The Vandals will have to play inspired football to break the .500 mark this season. Series Began:
190^, with Idaho winning 31j Montana winning 12.

OVERALL OUTLOOK: Coach Hal Mitchell has said he could use more help in every position but there are one or two spots that will need additional strength to be adequate. Fullback and center are a bit thin in the overall view, and the end should be stronger than in 1 9 6 1 . The interior line positions should be about the same.

Losses: (11)--Ends Bardell Bailey and LeRoy Russell; tackles Ray Andree and Burt Owens guard Louie Mello, center Larry Combs; quarterbacks Dari Thornton and Chuck Forrestal; halfbacks Jim Fransen and Jim Schneider, and fullback Jerry Mahoney. Promising Newcomers: Guards Jerry Ennis and Royce Leavell; tackle John Miller; and halfbacks Billy Shaw and Terry Johnston. PROSPECTUS BY DEPARTMENTS: Backfield: The backfield looks potentially strong, depending on the strength of fullback Bill Jenckfs knee. Good speed is at the halfback spots and experience is strong all the way around. The Bengals will be a top passing threat, too, with veteran quarterback Bill Loehr on hand. Line:
The line will be thin at some spots, notably end and center. However, the interior line should be good, led by returning regulars Gary Iazawa and Jerry Carothers at guards. Iazawa was honorable mention All-American as a sophomore in '6 l.
Overall Outlook: The overall outlook is more promising than in 1961 , but the schedule is much tougher. If the team doesn*t get hit hard by early injuries, it could improve into a good ball club. There are only three returning regulars, however, so there will be many new faces on the Bengal team. Series began: No ties.

Losses:
(12)--Ends Bob Durado and Dan Greer; tackles Bob Biastoch and Ken Young; guards Jim Berg, Steve Sobonya, Bill Townsend and Phil Schneider; center Bob Cegelski; halfbacks Jack Cameron and Jerry Johnson, and fullback Mark Dasinger.
Promising Newcomers--End Gary Decolati; guards Joe Sutey and Tom Wing; centers Dick Hueth and Dave Kenworthy, and fullbacks Joe Nicholson and Dave Miller. PROSPECTUS BY DEPARTMENTS: Backfield: Montana State will have more speed, but less size in the backfield. Ken Christison and Bill Mulcahy give the club a good one-two quarterback punch and Bucky May returns as a starter at fullback. The Bobcats have four speedy halfbacks--Russ Powers, Gary Alley, Steve Good and Will Fennal--but they all lack experience and size. Much of the success of the club will depend on how well the halfbacks fill in for graduated Jack Cameron and Jerry Johnson. Line:
Coach Herb Agoc's major concern is the interior line, which must be completely rebuilt. Gone are both tackles, both guards and the center. However, the Cats may mold a solid unit from these men: tackles Curt Farrier, 230 Joe Tiller, 230, and Fred Turner, 215; guards John Munk, 205 and Howie Ross, 200, and center Gary Giannini, 252. The club returns four good ends: Bill Cords, Gordie Schlabs, Jim Ratchye and Archie Warwick.
Overall Outlook: Montana State could be improved in *62 and still not better last yearfs k-3-1 record. The Bobcats have lost 12 key lettermen, 10 of whom started in the final game of the f6 l season. The schedule is the toughest in the school's history, with the addition of Utah State, Idaho, Wichita, and Arizona State.

Losses:
(9)— Ends John Pierson and Bill Hayes; tackle Jim Bradley; guards Chuck Cummings and Joe Wolcott; center Gene Scott; quarterback Jay McNitt; halfback Bobby Morgan, and fullback Paul Duke.
Promising Newcomers: Ends Ken Cole and Duane Erickson; tackles Wayne Tvrdik and Jack Abendschan; guard Glen Troublefield; quarterbacks Orvey Hampton and Steve Malnar, and halfbacks Bucky Stallings, Joe Harris, and Claude Ward. PROSPECTUS BY DEPARTMENTS: Backfield: The Lobos have solid depth in halfbacks, headed by All-American candidate Bobby Santiago. The team is shallow at fullback, however, where last year's starter Gary Ness is only letterman returnee. The quarterback spot is well manned by veteran Jim Cromartie, backed by excellent sophomore prospects Steve Malnar and Orvey Hampton. Line:
Depth problems exist at guard and center. Guard is lack of size, center is lack of experience. However, one of the best football players in the nation, Bob Bouyer, will start at the guard position. Matching him on the other side is the problem. There is good experience at tackle, though more size could be wished for. End has three good lettermen returning and there are good transfer and sophomore prospects.
Overall Outlook: New Mexico may have one of its better teams in recent history if depth problems are solved. But toughness of the schedule may not allow much improvement in the won-lost record. The Lobos will have adequate, but not blazing, team speed, fair to good size, and experience at least two deep at all but two positions. However, good newcomers could alleviate the depth problem. Schedule, especially on the road, is tough enough to already have the UNM coaches calling for supreme efforts every week. Series Began: 1961 Result:

Lettermen Lost: (1 3 )— End Bob Hays; tackles Mel Foss and Joe Keegan; guards Ray Burch, Vince Fernandes, Nick Kohls, and Rich St. Clair; centers Bob Adams and Hiram DeFries; quarterback LeeRoy Gutierrez, and halfbacks Rich Brown, Waldo Jeff and Dennis Wohlhueter. Promising Newcomers: Ends Tom Sperl and John Swanson; tackle Tom Hinton; centers Stan Graff, Bob Nunnery, and Allen Rohde; quarterback John Christensen, and halfbacks Stan Watkins and Roy Fraser. PROSPECTUS BY DEPARTMENTS: Backfield: The Rams have a good breakaway threat in speedy Ken Cullars. But otherwise the backfield will lack speed. Quarterbacking will be inexperienced, since top two candidates, Bill Wrenn and John Christensen, have been moved from fullback and halfback, respectively. However, they should give the team better quarterbacking than it has had in last several years. Veteran Ish Ransaw is outstanding fullback. Line:
The line is well in depth, but first unit should be capable. Anchor man on the line will be guard John Cook, tackles Doug York and Curtis Threatt and end John Nelson, all knowledgeable and tough veterans.
Overall Outlook: The Rams, under dynamic new coach Mike Lude, a winged-T disciple, should be an improved, highly-competitive club in 1 9 6 2 . But CSU doesn’t have the manpower to be a leading team in the region. Lude and the Aggies really have their work cut out for them, having to meet the toughest schedule in the school’s history. Included on the card are games with six tough teams from the old Skyline Conference, plus UCLA’s Rose Bowlers, another west coast power Oregon State, Arizona State, perennial toughie in the southwest, and the Air Force Academy.

TRACK-CROSS COUNTRY Track coach Harry Adams and his cross-country team have two meets scheduled thus far this fall with Montana State College. On September 27 or 28 the six-man team will compete against the Bobcats at Bozeman for the first outing of the season.
Then on Nov. 10, the day of the
Montana-Montana State football game at Missoula, the Grizzlies will have their second competition with the Aggies.
Adams said there is a possibility of a third
match sometime in early November. The cross-country sport never gets into full swing at Montana State University because of a late start in mid-September and the usually chilly Montana weather that prevents workouts in November.
Fans will recall that last year’s MSU-MSC
cross-country meets, at Missoula and Bozeman, were run on snow-covered courses. This dilemma made competition slow and hazardous. Nevertheless, the Silvertip team will have an excellent chance to come up with a couple of victories against Montana State.
In all fields of athletic endeavor
against the Bobcats, it’s anyone's guess who may actually come away the victor. The MSC team, under its new track coach Ralph Steben, will certainly not be giving points to the Grizzlies. Coach Adams said the loss of MSU’s famed mile and cross country man, Gary Wojtowick, who graduated last spring, will hurt the team considerably.
Wojtowick
was largely responsible for helping the University win over the Bobcats twice last year. Even with the loss of Wojtowich plenty of cross-country talent still abounds at the University.
Glynn DeVries, Conrad, Mont.; Phil Dwight, Great Falls; Marv
Miller, Bozeman, are all senior lettermen.
These, with Larry Jakub, a junior
from Missoula, will make up the nucleus of the team.
All are expected to
perform well, especially DeVries, who came in second in last fall's two dual meets, and Dwight who tied for second once.
Two sophomores are also added this year to give the team reserve strength. Martin Ueland, Silver Bow, Mont., and LaFay Hope, Tamaqua, Pa., performed well on last spring's track team and will be valuable additions this fall. 1961 RESULTS DATE__________ MONTANA_________MONTANA STATE_________PLACE Oct. 21

Third place in conference meet at Provo, Utah among five teams competing.
BASKETBALL SECTION A "murderous schedule" are words head basketball coach Ron Nord used to describe the coining 1962-63 Montana State University basketball schedule, when he arrived from the University of Wisconsin to take up his duties at MSU. The Grizzly team will compete against several nationally known and regional basketball powers and meet several other schools it hasn't played in several years. The Silvertips will also see action against new schools.
Starting the season against powerful Kansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma State University, the MSU squad will then take on such teams as North Dakota, Washington State, and Idaho.
Later on in the season the Grizzlies will be pitted against
new competitors Macalester, University of Seattle, Weber, Air Force Academy and Orange State College. Games are also scheduled with some former Skyline opponents; four contests will see old rivals, Grizzlies and Bobcats, battle each other, and at least 7 or 8 freshman meetings with nearby schools are planned for the first time in many years. In contrast with the familar ball-control type of play, Coach Ron Nord is expected to introduce a fast-breaking game with lots of running. The former University of Wisconsin assistant coach will have at least six veterans returning to the MSU Field House hardwoods this winter, and a bevy of eager sophomores, fighting for starting positions, will round out a fairly substantial team. Senior 6*7" Steve Lowry, from Red Lodge, Mont., will probably hold down the pivot spot again this season as he has done for the past two seasons. is in doubt as to eligibility.
However, Lowry
Veteran junior forwards Keith Law, from Bourbonnais,

Aldrich, however, may play combination forward and
Any number of sophomores may push the veterans for starting positions, however. Among those who may see some starting play at center are 6 f6 ,f Pete Rasmussen, hailing from Davenport, Iowa, and 6'7,f Rocky Greenfield, from Frenchtown, Mont. At forward 6'k� Francis Ricci, from Livingston, Mont., who was second in freshman scoring last season, 6 f5� Bill Rice, from Chadron, Neb., and 6'b" BruceDenison, from Missoula, Mont., may get an opportunity for varsity action. Jay Sumner, 5f9" guard, from Livingston, Mont., the highest scorer on the freshman team last season, will surely provide a great deal of depth at guard. 1962-63 MONTANA STATE UNIVERSITY BASKETBALL SCHEDULE Dec. 1
