1969 O utlook The b est sp irit and conditioning seen during spring drills since he and his staff cam e to M ontana in 1967 m ade Ja ck S w arth o u t look forw ard to the com ing season, and helped som ew hat to erase the disappointm ent caused by last y e a r’s disastrous 2-7 record. B u t th a t disappointm ent w ill never be erased com pletely by anything b u t an outstanding 1969 effort. S w arth o u t w as extrem ely im pressed by the h it ting and tim ing displayed in the spring game, w hich was m ark ed by a bare m inim um of fum bles and illegal procedure penalties, or m arkoffs of any kind. He is h appy w ith his ru n n in g backs, led by h a lf backs A rnie Blancas, M ike B uzzard and Casey Reilly, and fullbacks Les K ent and Je ff H offm an. Q u arterb ack Ray Brum , who cam e close to se t ting all new passing records for the U niversity last fall despite th e poor record, had a g reat spring, and was backed up w ell by eager young sophom ores Steve Caputo and Bob F isher. The offensive line looks good w ith v eteran tackles T uufuli U peresa, first team all-conference in 1968, an d Bill G utm an as a nucleus. W illie P ostler, a 6-4, 230-pound sophom ore w ho red sh irte d last fall, m oved into an offensive g uard spot and show ed vast im provem ent. S w arth o u t m oved Jo h n Stedham , a 6-5, tw o -y ear defensive line veteran, into the other offensive guard spot, and the senior who trim m ed dow n from 255 to 230 m ade the m ove look very fruitful. The G rizzlies w ill be experienced at center, w ith veterans B yron L ovell and D ave Urie, both seniors, fighting a stiff challenge from sophom ore Ray Stachnik, an o th er 1968 redshirt. U rie could be m oved to offensive tackle. Doug Bain, who for tw o years played everything in the backfield b u t q u arterback, sw itched to tight end, and S w arthout likes the looks of the glue fingered, tough-blocking senior. Ju n io r Jim D eB ord replaced B ain w hen the la tte r w as in ju re d du rin g spring drills, and show ed vast im provem ent. T ran sfer Tom M cM ahon m oved into the vacated split end spot and show ed g reat hustle and e n d u r ance along w ith fine hands. S w arthout thinks he could be an excellent split receiver for th e Tips this fall. M ontana sought help for its defensive secondary, rid d led by opposing passers last fall, and found a top-notch JC defender in K arl Stein. P a t S chruth, a o n e-y ear v eteran entering his ju n io r year of action, looked great in spring drills. The addition of Roy Robinson, m oved over from th e offense, could be helpful. The defensive line is also experienced w ith ends Jim N ordstrom , Jo h n T alalotu and Tim G allagher retu rn ing, along w ith tackle L arry S tran ah an . F rosh and tra n sfe r linem en w ill add depth to th e strong defensive line. W ith little w ork on defense garn ered during spring drills, Coach S w arthout is counting on quick developm ent of his defensive u n it in fall pre-season w orkouts.

F or th e first tim e since he cam e to M ontana, S w arth o u t w ent w ith lots of live scrim m ages and h ard h ittin g during spring practice, and th e squad cam e thro u g h it all w ith no serious injuries. ‘T th in k w e’ll be able to m ove the ball m uch b e tte r this fall th a n we did last y ear,” S w arthout said at th e conclusion of spring drills. “If our de fensive u n it shapes up quickly in fall w orkouts, we could be read y for a fine season.” Grizzly fans are hoping so.

1969 WILDCAT OUTLOOK For the first tim e in four years, W eber State Coach A rslanian heads into a n ew footb all season w ith ou t a tested or h igh ly-regard ed quarterback. Only Bob Quarry returns, and he saw v ery little action last year. The on ly other candidates are lin eb ack er John Sm ith and transfer Tom B okarae. The W ildcats h ave fiv e starters back on offen se in clu d in g running backs Sam G ipson and Jack Brow n (735 yard s), A ll-A m erica m en tion guard Jim M assey, center Jerry Mucha, and sp lit en d R andy M ont gom ery.

T w en tythree letterm en g iv e the Cats pretty good talen t and ex p er ience in m ost positions. H ow ever, the quarterback, d e fen siv e b ack field and o ffen siv e lin e spots are areas of con cern.

T w en ty-eigh t junior college transfers and 11 redshirts w ill bolster the letterm an group, so again there w ill be a “n ew lo o k ” to W eber State footb all this fall.
