PRESIDENT RICHARD C. BOWERS Dr. Richard C. Bowers assumed duties as the 13th president of the University of Montana on July 1, 1974. Bowers came to UM from Northern Illinois University, DeKalb, where he served as vice p re s id e n t and provost, and professor of chemistry. As Northern Illinois’ provost, he was chief academic officer of the University and had overall responsibility for many other university activities, including computer services, admissions and records, and the library. He also represented Northern Illinois University to the Illinois Board of Regents, the Board of Higher Education of the S tate of Illin o is , and the S tate Legislature. Prior to being named vice president and provost in 1969, Bowers served as the Dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences at NIU from 1965-69. Bowers received his B.S. degree in chemistry from the University of Michigan in 1948 and his Ph.D. in chemistry from the University of Minnesota in 1953. He taught at Northwestern University in Evanston, III., beginning in 1954 and became Director of Chemical Laboratories and associate chairman of the Department of Chemistry at Northwestern in 1963. He was born in Mt. Pleasant, Iowa, on May 3, 1927 and was raised in Escanaba, Mich. In 1950 he married Florence Olsen. They have three children.
ATHLETIC DIRECTOR HARLEY LEWIS Harley W. Lewis was appointed acting athletic director at the University of Montana, effective July 1, 1975. Lewis also serves as the University’s cross country and track and field coach. A 1964 graduate of UM with a M.S. in Health, Physical Education and Recreation, Lewis became track and cross country coach at the University in 1966. Prior to assuming coaching responsibilities at UM, the 1959 graduate of Butte High School coached two years at the University of Portland.

COACH JACK SWARTHOUT Jack Swarthout, who came to the Uni versity of Montana to double as athletic di rector and head football coach in 1967, has recorded four winning seasons in his eight years at the helm of his alma mater and has compiled a 45-37-1 record. Only one other UM football coach has registered more than two winning seasons. Doug Fessenden posted five winning marks in his ten seasons between 1934 and 1949. Montana fans had suffered through 17 seasons without a winning team before Swarthout guided the 1967 squad to a 7-3 record. The Grizzlies were 2-7 in 1968, but rebounded with perfect 10-0 regular seasons in 1969 and 1970. Montana made postseason appearances in the Camellia Bowl in 1969 and 1970, losing to North Dakota State on both occasions. UM slipped to 6-5 in 1971, was 3-8 in 1972, 4-6 in 1973 and 3-6-1 last year. Swarthout, who relinquished his athletic director duties July 1, was born in Prosser, Wash., on Feb. 23,1920. He attended UM, earning a B.A. in political science in 1942, and was a starting end for the 1941 football team.

He attended Lewis and Clark High School (Spokane, Wash.), graduating in 1963. He entered the army after two years at Columbia Basin JC (Wash.).

He was born Feb. 20, 1932 and is a 1949 graduate of Great Falls High.

NASEBY RHINEHART Naseby Rhinehart has been Montana’s Athletic Trainer since his graduation from UM in 1935. He was an outstanding athlete for UM, earning nine varsity letters, and received AII-America-honors as an end in football. Rhinehart, who was born in Cordeal, Georgia, on May 6, 1911, was named to the Helms Athletic Foundation Hall of Fame in 1967, has received the Grizzly Cup, the Ray T. Rocene Sportsman of the Year Award and the University A lum ni A s s o c ia tio n ’s D istin g u ish e d Service Award. 4
1975 GRIZZLY OUTLOOK M ontana’s football team will be improved in 1975, with a young squad containing 27 lettermen taking aim on a winning season. The going won’t be easy as most of U M ’s opponents will field improved squads, but the potential is there. The performance of sophomores, who will man a number of starting positions, may well be the key. Coach Jack Swarthout said he believes depth in both backfields and overall team speed are U M ’s strengths. Lack of depth in the offensive and defensive interiors are elements of weakness. Transfer linebacker Joe Smith and now-healthy defensive end Bill Gulbranson bolster a defensive unit that includes a number of honors candidates. Defensive tackle Greg Harris (6-3, 250) and junior safety Greg Anderson, the national champion (Division II) returning kickoffs and punts last year, are All-Am erica caliber. Cornerback Greg Carter is a pro prospect and tackle Doug Betters (6-5, 235) is an impressive sophomore. The secondary has four other lettermen backs— Tom Clift, Glenn Schmasow, Tom Facey and Bob Eustance— for solid depth. Converted fullback Steve Dionas will join Smith to give UM solid linebacker play. Smith, from Pasadena City College, will, according to the UM coaching staff, be at least as good as departed Big Sky defensive MVP Ron Rosenberg. Senior end John Buxton and middle guard Dan Argo, another sophomore, will align with Betters, Harris and Gulbranson on the five-man front. Offensively, three-year letterman Van Troxel, or Golden West transfer Dan Accom ando will get the call at quarterback. Halfbacks Del Spear and Wyatt McCraw, 1974’s top two rushers, have talented company. They are letterman Randy Ogden, redshirt Rich Jordan and transfer Paul Fiskness. Freshmen, namely Don Cheek and Duncan Scott, could play. Rusty Vincent and Mike Mickey, spring transfers from Joliet and Grays Harbor junior colleges, are good fullbacks. D u a n e Walker, a second team all-league selection, will be the tight end. Paul Cooley heads a list of possibles at split end. The offensive interior will have big and strong starters, but is short of backup personnel. Sophomore Ron Lebsock (6-3, 220) will be the center. Mark Plum, a 6-2, 230-pound junior, and senior Walt Brett, a pro prospect at 6-41/2 and 249 pounds, will be the regular guards. Junior Dan Sullivan (6-5, 245) and sophomore Ben Harbison (6-7, 255) are the tackles. Transfer George Weikum and sophomore Murray Pierce will being fall practice as the key men on the line’s depth chart. Montana has a potentially fine placekicker in sophomore Bruce Carlson. Carlson was erratic as a freshman, but the year of seasoning is expected to aid his consistency.

Grizzly Awards Each year three outstanding University of Montana football players are recipients of awards. The Terry Dillon Award, honoring the outstanding back, was established in 1964 following the accidental death of former Grizzly Terry Dillon. Dillon played defensive and offensive halfback for UM from 1960 to 1962. He started at defensive halfback for the National Football League Minnesota Vikings. The Paul Weskamp Award was established in memory of Paul Weskamp, a tackle on Ed Chinske’s 1954 Grizzlies. The award honors UM’s outstanding lineman and was established by the citizens of Ronan, Montana. The Golden Helmet Award honors the hardest hitter on the team. It was set up on a nationwide basis by the Coca-Cola Company in 1967.

The Big Sky Conference The Big Sky Conference was formed in February, 1963, when the presidents and athletic directors of six Rocky Mountain universities met in Spokane. The original conference members were Gonzaga, Idaho, Idaho State, Montana, Montana State and Weber. Gonzaga entered the conference as a non-football playing school. The conference derived its name from a pair of Montanans and a Washington sports editor. A. B. Guthrie, Great Falls, Montana, wrote a novel entitled “The Big Sky” and Jack Hallowell, former Montana State Advertising director, promoted the Big Sky theme as a nickname for the state. Harry Missildine, Spokesman-Review sports editor, picked up the name and in a sports column promoted the name Big Sky as the name of the conference. On Februrary 25, 1963, the conference adopted the name—Big Sky Athletic Conference. In 1970 the conference expanded to include Northern Arizona University, Flagstaff, Ariz., and Boise State College, Boise, Idaho. Both entered as football playing schools. Jack Friel became the first commissioner in 1963, and the offices were established in Pullman, Wash., Friel’s home. Following Friers retirement July, 1971, the offices were moved to Boise, Idaho, and John Roning was named commissioner.
