THE 1968 OUTLOOK In tw o w ords, th e outlook for U niversity of M on­ ta n a football in 1968: much improved.

S till try in g to recover from th e shock of w atching Ja c k S w arth o u t lead the 1967 Grizzlies to a 7-3 record, best in 30 years, d uring his first season a t th e helm , G rizzly fans new and old are eagerly aw aitin g the outcom e of w h at ap p a ren tly has been a successful rec ru itin g stint.

O nly 12 le tterm en w ere lost th ro u g h graduation, an d 26 le tte rm e n m ade it thro u g h spring drills.

Follow ing spring practice, th e G rizzly ro ste r in ­ cluded n ea rly 60 players, th e largest ro ster in th e U n iv ersity’s history. A nd indications are th a t th e G rizzlies w ill be a t least tw o deep, w ith strength, a t ev ery position.

Coach S w arth o u t indicated before spring drills th a t th e offensive line, lig h t b u t fa st in 1967, w ill show an average increase of 30 pounds p e r m an, w ith m ore speed, in 1968. D epth is ad equate in th e offensive fro n t w all, w hich could see one of th e sta rtin g ends a t 220 pounds, tackles a t 255 and 245, gu ard s a t 225 an d 230, and the ce n ter a t 250. A nd all h av e im pressive speed.

In th e offensive backfield, dep th is also in ev i­ dence. A t quarterb ack , lone re tu rn e e P ete M ullins, a senior, ap p a ren tly has th e edge over form er JC A ll-A m erica R ay B rum , a ju n io r who tra n sfe rre d in th e spring. A p air of sophom ores, Jim O pitz and Ja ck Cloherty, picked up good experience in th e spring, b u t still need w ork.

T he ta ilb a ck spot, once thought to v irtu a lly belong to fleet, pow erful ju n io r Roy Robinson, a th re e ev en t qualifier for th e 1968 NCAA tra c k cham pion­ ships, is now up for grabs betw een Robinson and ju n io r tra n sfe r M ike B uzzard, who piled up points in th e spring w hile Robinson concentrated on th e cinder sport.

F u llback also appears solid and deep, w ith ju n io r Tony G abriel, a tran sfer, w eighing 230, and sopho­ m ore Jo h n M cBurrow s, a re d sh irt last season, w eigh­ ing 215. B oth possess m ore th a n adequate speed an d pow er.

A t slotback, v e te ra n senior Rick S trauss and la sty ear backup m an G arth a M organ w ill be b attlin g again, w ith sophom ore P a t S ch ru th loom ing as a d arkhorse w ith good potential.

D efensively, th e Grizzlies w ere surprisingly strong last year, b u t depended perhaps too m uch on A llA m erica linebacker Bob Beers, who re tu rn s as a sen io r this fall. This year, th e line has been bol­ stered w ith m ore size and depth to ta k e some p re s­ sure off the savag e-h ittin g 210-pounder, who is still expected to contribute m ightily to B ru in defensive efforts.

D epth is again at least in pairs on th e defensive line, w ith th ree new ju n io r tran sfe rs arriv in g in the fall to boost hopes fo r a dependable fro n t w all.

In th e defensive backfield, th re e of four 1967 sta rters re tu rn and look like th e y w ill sta rt again, w hile a flock of youngsters, all im pressive, are b a t­ tlin g for th e fo u rth spot.

Coach S w arth o u t has his ow n w ay of looking at th e situation: “On paper, and in many other ways, it looks like w e’ll be a much stronger football team in 1968 than w e w ere last year. Whether or not our record w ill improve remains to be seen.”

P la y e r B riefs ENDS 81—BAINES, Ron (5-11, 175, Senior, Tacoma, W ash.)—In th e fall, Ron’s fancy tu rn s to football an d doing a fine job at split end for th e G rizzlies.

As a junior, th e highly v ersatile B aines led th e G rizzlies in receptions w ith 19 for 273 yards, and also in p u n t re tu rn s w ith 26 for 318 yards. In the spring, Ron com petes in track, ru n n in g th e 100-y ard dash in 9.6 seconds and high jum ping up to 6-8V2, th e UM school record. Coaches w ould like to see Ron stay at split end, b u t if necessary, he can w ork as a defensive back, and a good one.

86—DeBORD, Jim (6-2, 195, Sophomore, Pasco, W ash.)—T ried a t various spots during his freshm an year, Jim im pressed G rizzly coaches m ost w ith his w ork as a defensive end. D uring th e spring in tr a ­ squad game, he in tercepted a fum ble and raced m ore th a n 40 yards for a touchdow n. As a freshm an, he did all the punting for the Cubs, and w ound up the year w ith a 36.8-y ard average on 19 tries, so he m ay get a try as a p u n te r this fall.

82—ENOS, Jim (6-0, 195, Junior, Port Angeles, W ash.)—A knee in ju ry kep t Jim from com peting in the 1967 season afte r he tra n sfe rre d from E verett College in W ashington. He continued to w ork w ith th e 1967 team as a redshirt, and cam e out in th e spring of 1968 w ith his knee ap p a ren tly w ell-enough h ealed to allow him to play this year. T hough a doubtful sta rter, Jim w ill see plen ty of action in reserve, w ith quickness, good moves, and glue-like fingers assets th a t m ake him a good split end.

29— GALLAGHER, Tim (6-2, 214, Sophomore, K alispell)— Good size coupled w ith good speed m ake Tim a good prospect for th e defensive end position for th e 1968 S ilvertips. A t F lath ead H igh School, Tim w orked as an offensive end, and in fact n ev er played defensive end u n til he w as trie d th e re in the 1967 M ontana E ast-W est H igh School gam e in A u­ gust. Grizzly coaches w ere th ere to w atch and noted his excellent first-tim e perform ance a t defensive end.

83—GLENNON, Mike (6-1, 200, Junior, Billings) —A som etim e s ta rte r as a sophom ore, G lennon w as trie d at linebacker, tight end and defensive end in 1967. The defensive end tr y cam e last, and proved to be the best. A fter spring drills, M ike held dow n a sta rtin g defensive end spot, and it appears he m ight still be th e re in th e fall. He is a form er A llS tate fullback from Billings C entral H igh School.

88—KELLY, Jim (6-0, 224, Senior, Seattle, Wash.)

—Jim could be called “Mr. A ll-A round” afte r th e shifting of positions he w ent through in 1967. O rigi­ n ally a s ta rte r at tig h t end, w here he w ill definitely be in 1968, lack of depth m ade it necessary to m ove him to offensive tackle early in th e season. He stayed th e re through the season, and w ound up w ith A ll-C onference honorable m ention honors as a r e ­ sult. He w as an A ll-W ashington JC p la y er before tran sfe rrin g to M ontana last season.

80—LUIS, A l^S-10, 190, Junior, Orland, Calif.) — L isted as a split end on offense, A1 is likely to see ju st as m uch, if not more, action as a defensive back.

He handles both jobs w ell w ith agility, quickness and good football sense. Could be a sta rte r defen­ sively, b u t w ill have trouble pushing Ron Baines out of a sta rtin g split end spot.

85—NOTARO, Jim (6-1, 201, Sophomore, Tampa, F la.)—One of th e big surprises during spring drills, Jim cam e out again afte r being cut from the 1967 squad. Coaches w ere m ore th a n im pressed w ith his added size, adequate speed, and m ore th a n adequate desire. Jim w ill be used prim arily as a defensive end, b u t could play the offensive tig h t end spot as well.

84—WHITE, Herb (5-10, 190, Senior, Ecorse, M ich.)— One sw itch G rizzly coaches m ade for spring drills th a t th e y m ade w ith some hesitation w as m ov­ ing H erb from offensive guard to defensive end. The lightning fast M ichigan native w as tw ice an A ll-B ig S ky Conference selection at offensive guard. B ut the coaches feel th a t in 1968, H erb w ill be m ore valuable defensively. One of the fastest m en on th e squad, he should be a sta rte r this fall.

TACKLES 56—DAWSON, Ed (6-3, 218, Senior, Shelton, W ash.)—Ed w orked a t center last y ea r for th e G riz­ zlies, b u t w as m oved to offensive tackle to add depth to th e position in 1968. Though a doubtful sta rter, coaches th in k D aw son w ill provide good backup stren g th if needed. H am pered by inju ries during th e spring, he w ill have some coming back to do in th e fall.

72— GARSKE, Ron (6-3, 234, Junior, Chico, Calif.)

—Ron w ill be a new addition to th e G rizzly ro ster this fall, b u t his size and speed w ill m ake him a strong contender for a sta rtin g spot on defense.

Coaches w ill also keep him in m ind as a possible offensive tackle sta rter. Ron tra n sfe rre d from S has­ ta College, w here he w as an A ll-C onference player.

71—GUTMAN, Bill (6-2, 245, Junior, Seattle, W ash.)—G utm an tra n sfe rre d in th e spring from G rays H arbor College in W ashington, w here he w as an A ll-W ashington offensive tackle for tw o seasons.

Coaches credit him w ith “excellent speed,” and have h im pegged as alm ost a sure offensive s ta rte r this fall. He sta rted at offensive tackle all through spring drills.

87—POSTLER, W illie (6-4, 238, Sophomore, Van­ couver, B.C.)—W illie is a big C anadian w ho is ex ­ pected to do m uch m ore th a n tak e up room in th e G rizzly defensive line. A lthough m ore experience w ill be needed by the husky youngster, coaches feel th a t he can serve as an adequate sub this fall, and a m ore th a n adequate tackle in the future.

7 4 — STACHNIK, Ray (6-2, 235, Sophomore, Chi­ cago, 111.)— Closer to a sta rtin g position th a n fellow soph Fostler, R ay has th e speed and h a rd h ittin g ability, plus plenty of desire, to w ork w ell at eith er offensive or defensive tackle. H am pered b y in ju ry d u rin g 1968 spring drills, Ray m ore th a n proved him self as a frosh linem an going both w ays in th e fall of 1967.

79— STEDHAM, John ( 6 - 4 1 4 , 245, Junior, Chehalis, W ash.)—W ith one y ea r of sta rtin g defensive experience behind him , “The T re e” w ill n ev e rth e­ less have his w ork cut out for him if he plans to stay th e re in th e fall of 1968. W ith a good group of tra n s ­ fers and sophom ores out to cut him off, h e ’ll have to w ork th a t m uch h ard er. O ften effective against d o u b le-team offensive blocking.

54— STODDARD, Joe (6-6, 240, Junior, Gig Har­ bor, W ash.)—A nother new addition who m ade his decision to join the G rizzlies late in th e sum m er, Joe w ill do his p a rt in adding depth at eith er offen­ sive or defensive tackle. A form er A ll-W ashington JC p lay er a t E v erett College before joining th e M a­ rin e Corps for tw o years, Joe re tu rn e d to th e states w ith a P u rp le H eart from V iet N am action. Big and fast, h e ’s a sta rtin g th rea t.

75— STRANAHAN, Larry (6-0, 225, Junior, M is­ soula)—L ast year, coaches w eren ’t im pressed enough w ith L a rry to give him a scholarship, b u t he came out anyw ay. He d id n ’t play much, b u t not to be d is­ couraged, he gave it an o th er w h irl last spring. By the end of spring drills, he had earned his scholar­ ship for 1968, plus recognition as one of th e best linem en on defense in spring drills. A lthough a d o ubtful sta rter, the coaches w on’t be afraid in th e least to pu t him in.

73—THRASHER, Dennis (6-31/4, 245, Junior, M arysville, Calif.)—D ennis is one of four defensive linem en tran sfe rrin g in th e fall who is expected to be a top contender for a sta rtin g spot. O bviously boasting needed size, D ennis has the speed to go w ith it. He w as an A ll-N orthern C alifornia High School player and a unanim ous A ll-C onference p lay er for Y uba Ju n io r College last fall. Considered alread y as a pro prospect.

78— TUBBS, Fred (6-2, 223, Senior, Honolulu, H aw aii)— Tubbs trim m ed some w eight since the 1967 season, and his m obility and speed im proved w ith each pound he dropped. D oubtful as a sta rter, F red gives G rizzly coaches this year ju st th a t m uch m ore “good, solid d epth.” H e’ll see action, and probably plenty of it.

76— UPERESA, Tuufuli (6-3, 255, Junior, Honolul, H aw aii)—Ufu, as he is called by his team m ates, is frien dly enough off the field, b u t w hen he dons th e pads and hits th e gridiron, look out. H ere for spring ball, U fu w as not too h ard to pick out even though th ere w ere others n ea rly as big on the field.

Could sta rt eith er offensively or defensively, b u t p ro b ab ly w ill go w ith the offense. E xtrem ely fast an d graceful for his size.

GUARDS 64—HEDSTROM, Ole (6-0, 210, Junior, Laurel)— D espite his sm all size, Ole can m ake m incem eat out of opponents strictly w tih desire an d toughness. The ro ugher it is, and th e bigger th e opposition, th e b e t­ te r he likes it. A sta rtin g defensive linem an afte r being sw itched from offense early in th e 1967 sea­ son, Ole earned enough experience to be able to go eith er w ay. P robably w ill stay on defense, though.

70—HOWARD, Lon (5-11, 230, Senior, Centralia, W ash.)—L ike B ill W aters, Lon w as m oved to g uard during spring drills afte r sta rtin g a t tackle in 1967.

L on’s size and speed are plenty good enough to w ork a t guard, and he should sta rt th e re this fall. Lon earn ed A ll-C onference recognition last year.

61—LAVERY, Tom (5-10, 195, Junior, Chicago, 111.)—Not too m uch one can say about Tom th a t’s b ased on im pressions one m ight reap from w atching h im in action. A n in ju ry forced him to red sh irt last season, and he still w asn’t sufficiently recovered to com pete in spring drills this year. His rep u tatio n out of ju n io r college is excellent, how ever, and w ith renew ed experience, h e could th re a te n any sta rter.

60—LYONS, Joe (6-1, 195, Sophomore, Kalispell) —A nother pleasant su rprise during the frosh season an d spring drills, Joe w ill need m ore w ork before he can fill in adeq u ately on the offensive line. Tough, an d hard-nosed, he w as one of several freshm en w ho w asn ’t counted on for v arsity action, b u t cam e through. Should see some action in 1968, adding dep th a t th e g uard spot.

77—McCANN, Mike (6-2, 212, Junior, Renton, W ash.)— “H enry,” as h e ’s called by his team m ates, m ade his w ay thro u g h several positions on th e d e­ fensive side of things during th e 1967 season, not because he w as b ad at an y one of them , b u t because coaches w anted to keep him in action a t w hichever position he could fill best. D efensive end, m iddle guard, and defensive tack le positions all becam e fam iliar to Mike, b u t he m ight have to forget them this year. Coaches have him playing offensive guard.

68—ORTIZ, Butch (5-8^4, 175, Senior, Monterey Park, C alif.)—If you th in k 175 pounds is too sm all for a guard, you’re probably right. U nless th a t g uard is B utch O rtiz. M oved out of a sta rtin g spot for a period because of in ju ry last year, he cam e on strong la te r to rec ap tu re th a t spot. As tough a football player, pound for pound, as you’ll find anyw here, h e ’s also an excellent gym nast.

63—TALOLUTU, John (5-11, 195, Junior, Hono­ lulu, H aw aii)—A nother new addition this fall, Jo h n is expected to s ta rt defensively, b u t w here rem ains th e big problem . Sm all, b u t trem endously fast, Jo h n has the moves to be through th e line alm ost before th e q u arte rb a ck gets th e ball from center, and still not d raw a flag. Could p lay in th e defensive line a t gu ard or tackle, or at linebacker. Savage h itter.

65—WATERS, Bill (6-1, 225, Junior, Troy)—B ill picked up lots of g reat experience a t offensive tackle la st year, b u t like form er fellow tackle L on H ow ard, he w as “too sm all” this y ea r and w as m oved to guard. Should be a strong sta rtin g contender, w ith p len ty of speed and football savvy. Tough, loves the gam e, likes to h it people.

CENTERS 58—LOVELL, Byron (6-0, 207, Junior, Honolulu, H aw aii)—T ran sferrin g to M ontana for spring drills from C olum bia Basin College in W ashington, B yron m ade the A ll-W ashington second team in 1966, and w as considered a sure bet for first team honors in 1967 u n til sidelined early in the season by in ju ry .

D escribed as a “fiery player, a good h u stle r who loves football,” B yron should be an invaluable asset to th e Grizzlies.

53—NIMAN, Joe (6-0, 210, Sophomore, Miami, F la.)—A nother p leasant surprise, up from the 1967 frosh squad, Joe is not expected to sta rt in 1968, b u t w ill certain ly give th e cen ter position m ore th a n adeq u ate depth. A form er A ll-M iam i high school g rid d er, he loves th e gam e and w ill see some of it th is fall.

52— SPARKS, Rick (5-8, 210, Senior, B u tte)— W ell, th ey say all B utte kids are tough, and Rick S parks is no exception to th a t rule. P ushing aside bigger m en for sta rtin g honors last fall despite a knee in ju ry w hich slow ed him som ew hat, he m ade it w ith ju s t plain toughness and desire. He m issed spring drills due to an operation to rid him of his in ju ry problem s, so he w ill have to fight h a rd to m ain tain his sta rtin g spot.

55—URIE, Dave (6-4^4, 247, Junior, Chico, Calif.)

— O bviously big enough, D ave has the speed to m ake him alm ost a sure bet for sta rtin g honors in th e fall.

D escribed as a dependable blocker, D ave w as here fo r spring b all a fte r tran sfe rrin g from S hasta Col­ lege in C alifornia. He w as selected to th e A ll-C on­ ference team th e re last fall, and has tw o years of eligibility as a Grizzly.

QUARTERBACKS 10—BRUM, Ray (5-10, 183, Junior, Honolulu, H aw aii)—R ay is a form er A ll-A m erica ju n io r col­ lege q u arte rb a ck from Colum bia Basin College who tran sfe rred to M ontana last spring. A n in ju ry su s­ tain ed m idw ay through spring drills, ju s t w hen he ap p eared to be getting in th e groove, k ept him out of th e final in tra sq u ad gam e and aw ay from a chance of m oving into the sta rtin g spot. A fine passer eith er on a drop back or a rollout, and also a good ru n n e r w ith speed and quickness.

11—CLOHERTY, Jack (6-0 y2, 185, Sophomore, Chicago, 111.)—Ja c k m issed alm ost all of spring drills this y ear because of a leg injury, b u t as s ta rt­ ing frosh q u arte rb a ck in 1967, he established him ­ self enough in th e coaches’ eyes to m ake the squad this fall. A n average passer and a b e tte r run n er, Ja c k still needjs m ore experience before h e ’ll be com pletely read y to m ove into the lineup. He did com plete 22 of 47 passes as a frosh for .468 per cent and 315 yards, w ith only one intercepted.

12—MULLINS, Pete (6-3, 180, Senior, San Fran­ cisco, C alif.)—P ete was second q u arterb ack behind Ed S teiner all through last year, b u t as of spring drills he w as num ber one m an ahead of th ree others.

The im provem ent in passing and ru n n in g show n by P ete during spring drills im pressed coaches plenty, and P ete w ill be tough to push aside this fall. A p in ­ point passer, P ete th re w 19 passes as a ju n io r and com pleted 10 for 133 yards. W ith increased confi­ dence and reliability, P ete could help raise M on­ ta n a ’s passing attac k to its highest levels in m any years.

15—OPITZ, Jim (6-2^4,180, Sophomore, Missoula) —Of th e q uarterbacks participating in spring drills, Jim was th e m ost pleasant surprise. H e w as in ju red as a freshm an and saw no action in any of the four games, so he had to s ta rt from scratch during th e spring. P assing w ith an unu su al sidearm style, Opitz h it receivers often during spring scrim m ages and earned his spot on th e squad. W ith m ore w ork, he could be a good one.

TAILBACKS 36—BAIN, Doug (5-10, 185, Junior, Kalispell) — Though doubtful as a sta rter, Doug should see action as a substitute behind Robinson and B uzzard at ta il­ back. A solid h itte r w ith good speed and blocking ability, Doug saw lim ited action at both tailback and split end last season. W ith m ore w ork, could develop into a potential s ta rte r in the n ex t tw o seasons.

20—BUZZARD, Mike (5-10, 175, Junior, Mt. Ver­ non, W ash.)—A ctually brought to the U niversity last spring from E v erett College in W ashington to back up Roy Robinson, M ike dazzled coaches and fans during drills w ith his speed and shifty runn in g ability. W ith Robinson concentrating on track, M ike show ed th a t he could be m ore th a n ju st a n um ber one backup m an. W ill see plen ty of action.

3 3 — ROBINSON, Roy (5-11,180, Junior, Glasgow) — One of th e fastest m en in U niversity tra c k history (9.4 in the 100, 21.1 in the 220), Roy should be a sta rte r at tailb ack for the G rizzlies afte r m issing m uch of th e last season w ith an inju ry . W hile p lay ­ ing in only five gam es last season, Roy picked up 152 yards on 27 carries for an outstanding 5.6 yards p er carry. Coaches expect him to c a rry from b e­ tw een 15 and 25 tim es per gam e this fall. A possible A ll-A m erica a t tailback, Roy has solid hittin g pow er, good receiving hands, and trem endous balance.

SLOTBACKS 24—MORGAN, Gartha (5-11, 170, Senior, Seattle, W ash.)—In ju ries b o thered G arth a som ew hat in 1967, b u t he appears h ea lth y for th e 1968 season and is a p o tential sta rter. W ith trem endous speed, b e tte r th a n last y e a r’s s ta rte r Rick Strauss, M organ has to im prove on pass receiving to really push S trauss for sta rtin g honors. W ill see p len ty of action n e v e rth e ­ less.

34— STRAUSS, Rick (6-0, 195, Senior, Poison) — A fter a shaky sta rt in his firs t action m idw ay th ro u g h th e season, Rick show ed rap id im provem ent a t th e slotback spot and w ound up as th e secondleading G rizzly pass receiver (10 for 241 yards and 3 TD ’s) and th e six th leading ru sh e r (170 on 36 carries for 4.7 p e r c a rry ). He show ed im proved speed during 1968 spring drills, and continued to m ake k ey receptions. A probable s ta rte r this fall.

FULLBACKS 48— GABRIEL, Tony (6-2, 230, Junior, South River, N .J.)—T ony tra n sfe rre d in the spring from C am eron College in O klahom a to replace p ro-bound B ry an M agnuson, th e 1967 leading G rizzly rusher.

W ith excellent speed and blocking ability, G abriel should start, b u t w ill be pushed by 1967 red sh irt Jo h n M cBurrow s, who had, like Tony, a fine spring.

Tony h its h ard and w ith quickness, and could give opponents fits com parable to those handed out by M agnuson last year.

40—McBURROWS, John (6-2, 215, Sophomore, Englewood, N .J.)—In ju re d and red sh irte d in 1967, Jo h n m aintains his sophom ore status and w ill be eligible for tw o m ore years as a G rizzly follow ing this season. E x trem ely quick and shifty, Jo h n boasts trem endous b rea k aw ay speed. W ith added w ork on blocking, he could develop into a fine fullback. A p o ten tial s ta rte r this year, w ill see lots of playing action.

LINEBACKERS 67—BEERS, Boh (5-9^4, 211, Senior, Beaverton, O re.)—W hat can one say about a linebacker like Bob Beers. A n A ll-A m erica in ju n io r college, he earn ed first team honors last y ea r as a ju n io r a t M ontana, and appears likely to rep e at this fall as a senior. One of th e h ard e st h itters in U niversity history, Beers sm ells out plays like one w ould expect an A ll-A m erican to. A sure sta rter, B eers w ill p ro b ­ ably call defensive signals again this year, and give opposing offensive un its fits. A g reat one.

66— CORDOVA, Sandy (5-9, 200, Sophomore, M i­ ami, F la.)—Up from th e frosh ranks, w here he had an outstanding year as an offensive g uard and a linebacker, S andy w ill concentrate on th e linebacker spot on th e v arsity this year. D oubtful as a sta rter, coaches consider S andy a fro n t-lin e reserve w ith good fu tu re potential.

—

15 —

47—PARESA, Greg (6-0, 200, Senior, Kahului, H aw aii)—A fter show ing v ast im provem ent during spring drills, G reg m oved into th e o ther sta rtin g position along w ith Beers and should be th e re w hen th e Grizzlies open this fall. He w ill face a stiff challenge from Rich U n ru h and sophs W ysel and Cordova, b u t should sta y in there. A solid h itte r w ith good defensive sense.

62—UNRUH, Rich (6-0, 190, Junior, Everett, W ash.)—Rich w as a fro n t-lin e reserve as a sopho­ m ore a fte r tran sfe rrin g from E v erett College la st season. A gainst th e U niversity of the Pacific, he earn ed Big S ky p la y er of th e w eek honors as a sub w h en he intercepted tw o passes, re tu rn in g one for 56 yards an d the o ther for 52 yards and a tou ch ­ down. W ill see action, undoubtedly.

44—WYSEL, Glen (5-10, 195, Sophomore, L ew istow n )—O ut during spring drills w ith a shoulder separation, G len established him self du rin g his frosh season w ith quickness and savage hitting. Though n o t sta rtin g m a teria l yet, coaches w on’t be afraid to p u t h im in this year. A leading G rizzly golfer d u r­ ing th e spring who could develop into a B eers-type linebacker.

DEFENSIVE BACKS 23—DOLAN, Pat (5-10, 169, Sophomore, Great F alls)— One of a fine group of sophom ore defensive b acks on th e squad, P a t established him self as a fresh m an and d uring spring drills as one of th e h ard e st h itters in th e group, despite his lack of size.

H e’ll be in th e re scrapping for a sta rtin g spot, a l­ though he m ay hav e to w ait u n til his ju n io r y ea r to achieve it. A p leasant surprise.

30—FISKE, Karl (5-11, 175, Senior, Laurel)— K arl saw action in only th ree gam es as a s ta rte r last year, sustaining a concussion in his th ird outing w hich m akes him a doubtful p erform er as a defen­ sive back this season. H ow ever, K a rl has been w orking out as a pun ter, and m ay be used in th a t capacity in 1968. A solid h itte r w ho w ill probably be a s ta rte r if his in ju ry is sufficiently healed.

25— GRAY, Mace (5-1014, 185, Senior, Baltimore, M d.)— A s ta rte r all season for the Grizzlies confer­ ence-leading defensive u n it last year, Mace w ill p ro b ably stay in th a t spot this season. W ith good size and speed, he also w orked at fullback during spring drills, and m ight be used as a reserve th e re if needed. A h a rd w orker w ith m ore th a n adequate desire.

27— GUPTILL, Bob (5-11, 168, Sophomore, Great F a lls)—Besides displaying g rea t prom ise as a de­ fensive back during spring drills, Bob also show ed d u ring his frosh season th a t he can w ork w ell as a split end offensively. N ot big, he relies on speed, c a tty quickness, and good football sense, coupled w ith h a rd -h ittin g tactics. Could see lots of action in 1968.

28—NELSON, Larue (5-10, 168, Senior, New Orleans, La.)—A 9.6-second sp rin te r for th e 1968 G rizzly tra c k team , L aru e obviously has th e speed n eeded to play a defensive backfield position, and he h its plen ty hard, too. A s ta rte r on th e 1967 unit, he should hold th a t spot dow n this year. Also can be used a t split end. Intercep ted four passes in 1967.

32—O’NEILL, Mick (6-0,195, Senior, Walla Walla, W ash.)—-T he th ird retu rn in g s ta rte r from th e 1967 G rizzly defensive backfield, O’N eill should have th e m ost solid hold on a sta rtin g spot of th e three. M ick led th e Big Sky Conference in pass interceptions in 1967, and w as an A ll-L eague selection. He picked off six passes w ith sev eral n ea r interceptions to his cred it. A fine p erfo rm er and a h a rd h itter.

35— SCHRUTH, Pat (6-0, 180, Sophomore, B il­ lin gs)—A fine offensive and defensive perfo rm er for th e Cubs last fall, coaches w ould like to keep P a t on th e defensive side, w here th ey th in k he could develop into a fine prospect. He h ad a good spring, an d should be up for a top reserve role, if not the fo u rth sta rtin g position in th e defensive backfield this fall.

21—W A X H A M , John (6-0, 185, Sophomore, Mountlake Terrace, W ash.)—A lthough he w as th e leading ru sh er fo r th e Cubs as a tailback and fu ll­ back last fall (269 yards on 53 carries, 5.1 avg.), Jo h n w ill concentrate on defensive w ork w ith th e v arsity. B ut coaches w ill keep him in m ind as an offensive sub stitu te should the need arise. A h ard h itte r, w ith good football sense for his young age, W axham w ill be in th e re b attlin g for a.sta rtin g spot.

KICKER 4 5 —WORRELL, Dan (5-10,180, Sophomore, Great P a lls)—D an’s place-kicking pran k s w ill be highly reg ard ed before th e 1968 season is over. As a fre sh ­ m an, he booted successfully on seven of 10 field goal tries, and w as 7 for 8 on PA T kicks to lead Cub scoring w ith 28 points. His field goal range goes up to 50 yards, and he is extrem ely accurate w ithin 35-40 yards. Som eone th e G rizzlies really could h ave used in 1967, W orrell w ill m ake his m a rk this fall.

G rizzly A ll-A m erican BOB BEERS, LINEBACKER Bob Beers, follow ing th e 1967 season, becam e the first G rizzly in histo ry to be nam ed as a first-tea m A ll-A m erica in football.

Beers re tu rn s as a senior this fall, and appears a su re b et to rep e at th e honor he w on as a ju n io r and afte r his second year a t C olum bia B asin College in Pasco, W ash.

Bob m akes up for his relativ ely sm all size (5-9, 211) w ith a fierce com petitive sp irit th a t earned him recognition as one of the h ard e st h ittin g backers in th e U nited States.

As a ju n io r in 1967, Bob w as th e k ey to a strong G rizzly defense w hich led the Big Sky Conference.

He averaged 18 tackles p er game, w ith an average of nine of those unassisted.

As defensive captain, he called the signals for th e league-leading unit. Opposing coaches m arveled a t his g reat p u rsu it and h ittin g ability.

As one m ight expect, Bob led the G rizzlies in tackles in every one of th e 10 gam es he played in last season. A nd despite his lack of height, he did a fan tastic job of defending against th e forw ard pass to receivers th a t tow ered over him .

His saving tr a it as a linebacker w as his ab ility to fight off blockers of any size to m ake a tackle.

His o utstanding perform ances: 21 tackles against pow erful U tah S tate and 19 against sm all-college tita n N orthern A rizona.

WHAT THE COACHES SAY JACK SWARTHOUT, UNIVERSITY OF MONTANA—“Bob Beers is th e best linebacker an y of th e coaches on m y sta ff has ever coached. A rea l leader, he has been th e outstanding defensive m an in every gam e w e’ve played. He has continually m ake key tackles, and has m ade several gam esaving plays on th e goal line, eith er stopping a b all c a rrie r cold or causing a fum ble.”

CHUCK MILLS, UTAH STATE— “A trem endous football player, and one of th e best linebackers w e’ve seen this year. Bob Beers is a good com petitor w ho hustles all th e w ay. He gave us all w e w anted and th en some. He h ad th e m ost hits of anyone on eith er team in our gam e.”

JOE SALEM, UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH D A ­ KOTA—“Bob Beers is th e best linebacker we played against all year. In our gam e he stopped our b est and strongest ru n n ers cold and short of a first dow n sev eral tim es. He w as ce rtain ly th e best p la y er on th e field th a t night. If th e re is a b e tte r linebacker in the country, th e n I w an t to see him —b u t not p lay against him .”

SARKIS ARSLANIAN, WEBER STATE COL­ LEGE— “P ound for pound, Bob Beers is th e finest linebacker I have seen for m any years. He has g rea t balance, desire, and certain ly does an outstanding job. He w as in our h a ir all nig h t.”

LEO McKILLIP, IDAHO STATE UNIVERSITY —“Bob Beers fought off blockers and m ade tackles all over the field against us. We attem p ted to ru n aw ay from him .”

M any n ew faces w ere presen t during sp rin g ball and there are a bunch of n ew ones th is fall. G one are A ll-A m ericans Lee W hite and Jim Schm edding. Also m issin g are seven other gridders w ho w ere drafted or signed b y the pros. The 1968 squad w ill h ave m ore p layers of eq u al ab ility and w ill probably lack th e superstar.

Coach A rslanian has 20 returning le tte r ­ m en, 20 JC transfers and 9 redshirts to w ork w ith. A busy recruiting schedu le over th e sum m er brought 10 to 15 n ew scom ers to b eef up th e w eak secondary and offen siv e b ack ­ field . The W ildcats could develop into a title contender.

1968 Cross C ountry W ith th e school’s first Big S ky Conference cross co u n try cham pionship behind it, the 1968 team a t th e U niversity of M ontana w ill face a rough chore try in g to get a second straig h t title.

Coach H arley Lew is has six of seven 1967 team m em bers back this fall, b u t tw o are doubtful because th ey w ill be concentrating on conditioning for th e h alf-m ile ru n in tra c k for the spring of 1969.

Top re tu rn e e is sophom ore W ade Jacobsen of Sim m s, who finished second in last y e a r’s m eet in M issoula. Gone is conference title -w in n e r F re d Friesz of Billings, U niversity of M ontana course record holder.

B ut Lew is doesn’t th in k losing Friesz w ill be as dam aging as m any m ight think. “W ade b e a t F re d tw o or th ree tim es in d ual m eets last fall, and he has trem endous po ten tial to im prove in cross country d u ring th e n ex t th re e seasons.”

Also back are league fo u rth -p lace finisher R ay Velez, ju n io r from S an B ernadino, Calif.; 10th fin ­ ish er Steve Linse, sophom ore from Snohom ish, W ash.; 12th finisher R ay B allew , soph from S u n ­ b u rst; 14th m an D uane S pethm an, ju n io r from Boulder, and 16th finisher M ick H arrington, senior from M issoula. S pethm an and H arrin g to n are th e tw o d oubtful ones m entioned above.

New7 to the p rogram as freshm en w ill be A n a­ conda’s Steve Johnson, Class A cross cou n try w inner last fall w ith a conference record; G reat F alls’ Bob Conway, th ird in Class A A cross cou n try la st year; Billings W est’s Tim O’H are, eighth Class AA fin ­ isher in 1967, and G rants Pass, O regon’s P a t D uncan, b est cross country ru n n e r th e re last fall.

Lew is says th a t since six of seven from last y e a r’s team w ill be back, in addition to four outstanding h ig h school run n ers, “it is en tirely conceivable th a t we could rep e at th e title in 1968.

“H ow ever, w e’ll face one w hale of a challenge fro m Idaho S tate, w hose distance m en certain ly show ed ours up a t th e Big S ky T rack M eet in M ay.”
