‘72 Grizzly Outlook A fine young backfield to replace th ree m issing 1971 starters, v ery capable ends, and a personnel shift to fill in a grad u atio n -d ep leted of­ fensive in te rio r tells th e story for the 1972 G rizzly offense. S um m arizing the defense, one m ust say th a t an experienced d efen­ sive line and an outstanding linebacker corps offset some doubts about the secondary. F irst the offense. Cliff B u rn ett and Jim H ann, split ends in 1971, h ave been shifted into the offensive line. H ann w ill s ta rt at rig h t tackle and B u rn ett w ill vie w ith tw o year v eteran Ron R ichards for th e le ft gu ard slot. A t left tackle w ill be ju n io r Doug C leveland and sm all, b u t quick and strong, K it B lue w ill take over at center. B rig h t spot of the line is holdover B a rry D arrow , a 6-7, 255 pound A ll-A m erican candidate. Sophom ore J e rry Cooley w ill be the backup center and 252 pound Ted Solom on w ill provide tackle depth. A t tight end are tw o exceptional athletes. Senior Tom Bod w ell and sophom ore D uane W alker have ta k en over. Bodw ell w ill start. The w ide receiver w ill be retu rn ee G len W elch. Welch, a high school sp rin ter, w ill be backed by Steve C arlson and tra n sfe r K u rt Dedric. D edric also punts. Record setting ru sh e r Steve Caputo, blocking back Casey Reilly and q u arte rb a ck G ary B erding are gone from the 1971 backfield th a t ran k e d fo u rth n ationally in rushing, b u t the M ontana coaching staff has confidence th a t th e 1972 group w ill be, at least, faste r and po ten tially b etter. Sophom ore Rock Svennugsen appears to have em erged from a th ree -w a y b attle w ith 1971 backup Ja y B aum berger an d tra n sfe r Tim B abish as the sta rtin g field general. All th ree qu arterb ack s ru n the option w ell and have the ability to th ro w the pigskin. Fullbacks Je ff H offm ann and B uddy W alsh shared the job last y ear and m ost likely w ill again in 1972. The tw o com bined to ru sh for 1024 yards la st season. S teady D ave M anovich and shifty S p ark y K ottke are experienced and w ill probably be the sta rtin g halfbacks for the season opener against S outh D akota. S p rin ter Jim Olson is the n u m b er one candidate to m ove in on them . O ther key supp o rt w ill come from fu llb ack Jim K autz, and capable halfbacks D ave Eggebrecht, Jo h n S ta rk and Bill Conrad. T ackles G ary S w earingen and Rick A nderson re tu rn in the defensive line as does end Leo Laroche. T hey w ill be joined by end M arc K ouzm anoff. A ll should have benefitted from the experience th ey gained in 1971. T ackle Jim L eid and end Steve T aylor w ill be th e n u m b er one backups. S w earingen and LaR oche are th e only seniors. M ontana opponents w ill face an im posing lineb ack er corps in the likes of C u rt D onner, Rick Dodds and Ron Rosenberg. The quality of the secondary is in doubt, b u t th ree tran sfe rs m ay quiet these suspicions. C ornerback T erry Reynolds proved to be M on­ ta n a ’s best defensive back in spring drills. F ree safety M ick D ennehy h ad six interceptions in 1971. T ra n sfer D ean Evans earn ed a sta rtin g strong safety slot in the spring session. Rob S ta rk is not fa r behind. T ran sfers D ave H arrington and Steve S tark ey w ill rep o rt this fall. H a r­ rin g to n is assured a sta rtin g b erth.


Coach Jack Swarthout Ja ck S w arthout, who cam e to the U n iv er­ sity of M ontana to double as athletic d irec­ to r and head football coach in 1967, has given M ontana four w inning seasons in his five years a t the helm of his alm a m ater and has com piled a 35-17 record. Of all coaches w ith m ore th a n one season of coaching G rizzly g ridiron team s—since the beginning of the sport on the M issoula cam ­ pus in 1897— S w arth o u t ran k s second w ith his career w inning percentage of .673. Only Roy W hite’s .778 figure, based on a 7-2-2 record achieved during the 1908 and 1909 seasons, is better. M ontana fans had suffered th ro u g h 17 seasons w ithout a w inning record before S w arth o u t took a surprisin g 1967 squad to a 7-3 record in his first season as a head coach. It w as M ontana’s best season since the 7-1 1937 team and th e first w inning record since th e 5-4 1949 team . 1968 w as a m ajo r disappointm ent as th e G rizzlies dipped to a 2-7 season. B u t 1969 erased the m em ory of 1968 as S w arth o u t guided the G rizzlies to a perfect 10-0 season and a subsequent bid to play in th e Cam ellia Bowl. M on­ ta n a lost to N orth D akota S tate th a t y ear and again in 1970 w hen UM again rolled over te n straig h t opponents and drew a re tu rn bid to the C am ellia Bowl. L ast y ea r tw o season ending losses to H aw aii and P o rt­ lan d S tate left M ontana w ith a 6-5 record. Jack Swarthout

A w inter’s day walk past Main Hall. It w ould be difficult to find a school th a t fit in w ith its en v iro n m en t b e tte r th a n th e U niversity of M ontana does. L iterally su rro u n d ed by the Rocky M ountains, th e 79-year-old school has a m ellow robustness about it th a t attracts people from all over the country who w an t a close­ ness to n a tu re to be p a rt of th e ir hig h er education. W ith only about 9,000 students en terin g this fall, UM is still a v ery sm all u n iv ersity by natio n al standards and it is typical of sp arsely -set tied M ontana in th a t respect. M issoula, a quiet logging an d ag ric u ltu ral tow n of about 30,000, is the school’s home. UM offers 56 degrees in the bachelor of a rts or sciences program , 68 m asters degrees, 12 doctor of philosophy degrees and tw o doctor of education degrees. The U niversity features seven professional schools— business adm inistration, fine arts, journalism , education, forestry, law and pharm acy. UM ’s land holdings are extensive and am ount to ab o u t th ree acres for each student. The cam pus itself spreads over 201 acres on th e east side of M issoula a t the base of M ount Sentinel, of w hich UM owns 624 acres. A few blocks south of th e m ain cam pus is a 154-acre site w ith 394 m a rrie d stu d en t housing units and a nine-hole golf course. A p­ p ro x im ately six m iles southw est of cam pus is F o rt M issoula w here th e U niversity owns 295 acres.
