NASEBY RHINEHART: A Half-Century As A Grizzly Naseby “D oc” Rhinehart. Missoula, M ontana. The University of M ontana and Grizzly athletics. You can lump them all together, because they are one in the same. Nase, as he is affectionately called by adm inistrators, coaches, athletes, and M ontanans has been at UM since 1931. He recently announced the 1981-82 athletic season will be his last year at the school. (He also made that statem ent last year, only to celebrate his 70th birthday in his office, across from the UM training room). Born May 6, 1911 to Wesley and Crawford Rhinehart on a plantation in Georgia, Naseby and his parents, two brothers and six sisters moved to Milwaukee when he was four years old. It was in Milwaukee that he learned his athletic skills and would later bring those wares to the collegiate level and UM. His Lincoln High School football team won city titles in 1928 and 1929 and in 1928 he was nam ed an all-city end — the first black to ever receive the honor. He also won the state discus title as a senior. The rest is history. The beloved athletic trainer first heard about Missoula and its University from a black lawyer, Jim Dorsey, who was born and raised here, and who received his law degree at UM. “Jim loved Missoula, but there just w asn’t any place to practice law, so he moved to where the jobs w ere,” Naseby reflected. “He and his wife had no children, and we really hit it off. He told me that he was going to send me out to Missoula to go to school here. Of course, I never really believed him.” Rhinehart said he had several offers from schools to play football, and he decided to attend N orthw estern. However, he said, they were having problems in their athletic departm ent, so they told him to sit out a year and it would blow over. He did, but things didn’t get any better. “So I decided to give it (UM) a try,” he said. Things didn’t exactly start out rosey for him in Missoula. “The coach (Bernie Oakes) m et me at the train (1,500 miles from Milwaukee) and told me ‘I thought you’d be bigger.’ Well, I told him I had a return ticket and I could just get back on the train and go back home. I rem em ber the day. it was Septem ber 13, 1931.” “I looked around, and it was real quiet and I w asn’t too sure about being there in the
first place,” he continued. “But the coach said that I took him wrong so I decided to stay.” After a year of freshm an football (he was
one of only two blacks at UM, and the only athlete) he was ready for the varsity team. “I made up my mind I was going to be the left end, no m atter who was ahead of m e,” he said. “I was confident.” After splitting duties as a sophom ore the 6-0, 183-pounder becam e a fixture at left end for the Grizzlies. He was an honorable mention All-American pick as a senior in 1935, and was later nam ed a m em ber of the All-Time Grizzly Football Team at end. A nother thing that brought him to UM was basketball. “I loved basketball, and at that time the Big Ten didn’t allow blacks to play, so I ruled them out quick. I couldn’t shoot, but I played defense and covered ‘the good cats’ and hit the boards.” A two-year starter, Naseby played guard and also jumped center. In track he had bests of 23 feet in the long jump and 140 feet in the discus. The highlight of his career came in 1935, when the winner of nine varsity letters was aw arded the Grizzly Cup, given to the school’s outstanding overall student-athlete. (An award his son, Naseby, Jr. ‘F ete’ won in 1958). Less than a m onth after his graduation football coach Doug Fessenden asked him if
he was interested in becoming the UM trainer. “It was the turning point in my life,” reflected the nationally-recognized trainer. “I was thinking about going back to Milwaukee and becoming a policeman, but loved athletics so I decided to take the job.” “Being a trainer was a great challenge, and still is,” he said. “Plus it’s a hell of a lot of fun,” he added with his famous, charismatic smile. “You might be down Saturday night, but Monday you’ve got to be ready to go. It hurts to lose. It hurts the kids. It hurts me and the coaches. We live together, and we win and die together.” Not only did N aseby m ake outstanding contributions as an athlete, but he also did in the classroom. He was one of the first trainers in the nation to develop an athletic training curriculum (1971) at a university. Many of his former UM students now have jobs at universities and high schools throughout the nation. He hasn’t gone unrecognized for his efforts. M ost recently he was nam ed trainer to the Pan American G am es in Puerto Rico in the sum m er of 1979. In 1974 he was aw arded the UM Distinguished Service Award. He was selected as a trainer for the 1972 Olympic track team . And in 1967 he was chosen as a m em ber of the Helms Hall of Fame for Athletic Trainers. N aseby said other than improved size, speed, nutrition, weight training (“I’ve never lifted weights in my life”) and medical training, athletes have not changed m uch in the last 50 years. “W e w anted to win,” he said. “All of us w anted to win real, real bad. W e had a lot of desire, and the athletes today do too. Athletes have a lot of pride. You have to want to be the best. Like I said earlier about making up my mind to start at left end — that’s pride.” Pride is one word synonymous with Naseby Rhinehart. No m atter who you talk to, you know they are PROUD to know this gentle man. Naseby and his wife of 47 years, Evelyn, have four children. Pete is a com ptroller at AT&T in New Jersey; Sid is an Air Traffic Controller in Minnesota; Ann Bates teaches high school and coaches girls’ track in California and Penny is in a Pizza Hut managerial program in Seattle.

Grizzly Offense Will Be Wide Open In 1981 Wide open is the best way to describe the University of M ontana’s offensive game plan for the 1981 season. Last year’s Grizzly sprint draw offense employed reverses, reverse passes and this season will be no different, according to coach Larry Donovan. “We had 16 different players catch passes, another seven players who threw passes, a quarterback who caught a touchdown pass and 13 different players score touchdowns last year,” Donovan said. “We plan to have the sam e wide open philosophy this year.” The Grizzlies return 11 starters this season — seven of them on offense. The offensive line has six players returning, four of whom started in several games. G uard Basil Jones, center Tom Perez, tackle Mark M adsen and tight end Brian Salonen all started, and Pat Norwood and Jim Rooney also started in a few games. Salonen, a sophom ore, is the only underclassm an in the group. All of the others are seniors. The key returnee is tailback Rocky Klever (see page 16), who has started since his freshman season. Klever redshirted last season after suffering a shoulder injury against Portland S tate in the second game of the 1980 season. Also back are wide receiver Mike Alex and fullback Mike Hagen. Alex was an All-Big Sky honorable mention pick. (See page 17). “O ur offensive line will have a com plete senior lineup except for our tight end, and its backed up by two senior running backs
Center Tom Perez.
(Klever and Hagen) as well as senior wide receiver (Bill Dolan),” Donovan said. “Although they are not all gam e-experienced seniors, they should give us the opportunity to be one of the top three team s in the conference, if they play together as a unit,” Donovan said. Also back for the Grizzlies is quarterback Marty Mornhinweg, a sophom ore who played in nine of the 10 games last season. Mornhinweg was 61 of 120 for 874 yards and five TDs last year. He threw for six interceptions. “Coupled with the experienced seniors we have, we feel Marty has transferred his abilities as a player and a leader, from high school to collegiate football,” Donovan said. “He was one of the m ost prolific quarterbacks in N orthern California history.” In the backfield Klever will be backed up by Bobby Cerkovnik (230 yards in 55 carries in six games), a senior, and sophom ore Joe Klucewich (45 yards in 18 carries). Klucewich em erged from spring drills as the No. 2 tailback. Sophom ore C urt M cGinness will also be battling for playing time. At fullback Hagen and JC transfer G reg Iseman battled for a starting berth, and Donovan expects the competition to continue throughout the season. O ne of the reasons for UM’s wide open offense is Brad Dantic, who established a Big Sky record, averaging 24.6 yards per catch (12 for 295) in ’81. The speedster also carried the ball seven times on end reverses, and the results were 98 yards and two TDs.

Wide receiver Bill Dolan.
Four Starters Back For Grizzly “D” Two other letterm en could help at linebacker. Scott G ratton (16 tackles) and Malcum Sorrell (12 stops) are both back. G ratton was the captain of UM’s specialty teams. Curry, an honors candidate along with Sutton, was the secondleading tackier on the defensive line with 46 stops and two sacks. Sutton led the secondary with 54 tackles and the team with three interceptions. Sutton also returned punts and kickoffs, and averaged 16.1 yards per kickoff return. “We feel the success of the football season lies with the improvement in the defense, which was started in the spring, and with the improvement of our kicking gam e,” Donovan said. “Athletically, we feel we have the best kicker (Dean Rominger) we could recruit, and it’s up to him to prove that and give us the type of kicking game we are looking for,” Donovan said. Last season M ontana was two of eight in the field goal kicking departm ent and 20 of 23 in extra points attem pts. Even though Curry is the only returning starter on the defensive front (he had 46 tackles last year), Sharkey (40 stops), Chaplin (23 tackles) and Faoli (14 tackles) all have good experience. In the secondary Scott Ellig returns after an injury redshirt year. He started at free safety in UM’s season opener against Simon Fraser University a year ago. Randy Laird could also help out in the secondary.
There are four starters back for the Grizzlies’ 3-4 defensive alignment, although several other players have a lot of game experience. The Grizzly staff recruited seven JC players and six of them are expected to shore up the defense, primarily in the area of linebacker and in the secondary. The starters back for M ontana are Fat Curry at defensive tackle, Mickey Sutton at cornerback, linebacker Dennis Bowman and Tony Fudge at safety. C urt McElroy started a few games at linebacker. “The defense is still a bit of an unknown as to perform ance,” Donovan said. “W e feel the opportunity to have defensive success is not based so much on individual ability, as it is team com petitiveness.” “The defensive front will be senior-dominated, while the linebackers and secondary will be new people except for Sutton, Bowman and Fudge,” he continued. After spring drills Curry, noseguard Dave Paoli and tackle Dave Chaplin had earned the No. 1 spots, while senior Ron Sharkey could fill in at either tackle position. Bowman had 44 tackles in 1980, and also blocked two kicks (a field goal attem pt and a punt). He was back to old form in the spring, blocking a punt in the annual spring game.

All-American Candidate Victor “Rocky” Klever is almost an institution as far as University of Montana football is concerned. When he takes the field opponents start shaking their heads, asking, “is he still around?” Yes, the versatile Klever is still around — 1981 being his final season. He was a senior in 1980, however, a cracked shoulder bone in the second game of the season (against Portland State) forced him to sit out the remainder of the year. The success he has had wearing the copper, silver and gold Grizzly football uniform can be seen in his season-by-season statistics. Klever was recruited out of West Anchorage High School as a quarterback. Early in his freshman season in 1977 he was pressed into a starting role when the starting signal-caller was injured. A battle was expected the following season, his sophomore year, for the starting quarterback berth. However, Klever was moved to tailback and he responded to the position change in a big way. As a sophomore Klever earned the Terry Dillon Award, which goes to the Rocky Klever outstanding offensive back. He gained 514 yards rushing for a 4.6-yard average, and was twice named the Big Sky Conference’s Offensive Player of the Week. He also 6-2%, 215, Sr. passed for four TDs. Tailback The 1979 season was another banner one for the Business Administration major. He had a team-leading 679 yards rushing and scored nine times — eight via the rush. He also passed for another score. He received the Terry Dillon award for the second straight season as well. Needless-to-say, even bigger things were predicted for Klever last season. He started out in a big way. In the season opener (a 60-27 victory over Simon Fraser University of Canada), he rushed for two TDs and passed for another two. His stats that day: 18 carries for 82 yards and a pair of TDs; four of six passing for 89 yards and another two TDs. He also had two punts for a 41.5-yard average. “Rocky Klever is a throwback to the Paul Hornung days of the triple threat back who can run, pass and kick,” said Grizzly coach Larry Donovan. “At 6-3,219 pounds we feel Rocky is as good a total back as the Big Sky Conference will have in 1981,” Donovan continued. “Rocky’s talent stems from the fact he can play quarterback, tailback or wide receiver.” “The coaches, both opponents and our own, know that when Rocky has the ball there is always a strong possibility of things happening,” Donovan said. “And most of those things are good as far as our football team is concerned.” Born in Portland, Oregon, Klever moved to Anchorage as a freshman in high school. At West Anchorage High he played on state championship teams in football (1975) and baseball (1976). He also played for conference title teams in basketball in 1976 and 1977. While playing prep football for coach Don Larsen he was named All-State at QB as a junior and senior, and all-state as a safety his final season. He was his school’s MVP in 1977 and the MVP of the Shrine game that season too. He earned nine letters in high school. m

Wide Receiver, 6-1, 195, Sr. Overland Park, KS
Defensive Tackle, 6-0, 250, Sr. Selah, WA
A converted tight end, Mike led the team in receiving yardage with 339 yards in 1980. H e averaged 16.1 yards per catch and scored twice including a 37-yarder against W eber State. “Mike is a 4.6 sprinter in the 40 and with his tough n ess and strength, w e can go to him in key situations,” said coach Larry Donovan. “His sp eed allows him to go deep and loosen the defen se which com plim ents our short passing gam e.” H e was a Big Sky honorable m ention pick last season .
D ave w as probably the m ost im pressive player on the defensive line in spring football. H e had 23 tackles in 1980 and led the team in sacks with three for a m inus 29 yards. H e w as a seco n d team JC AllAmerican at Yakima Valley Com m unity C ollege. “Through off sea so n training, D ave has m ade himself into an excellent lineman and also im proved his sp ee d ,” said Donovan. “His intensity is a vital part of the defensive front. With his im proved sp eed and quickness, w e feel w e can rely oft D ave to m ake the big sto p s.”
Pat Curry
Mike Hagen
Defensive Tackle, 6-5Y2, 255, Sr. Billinas, M T
Fullback, 6-0, 215, Sr. Auburn, WA Mike sh ow ed his versatility by grabbing 26 p asses for 223 yards, rushing for 291 yards, and scoring five touchdow ns. H e led the G rizzlies in scoring and number of p a sses caught in 1980. H e w as ranked ninth in the nation in the JC ranks in scoring with 66 points in 1979. “Through off-season training, Mike has m ade himself a back to be reckoned with in the Big Sky C on feren ce,” said D onovan. “H e is our team leader in the b ench p ress and squat and im proved his 40 time to 4.6. His tough n ess will be m ore visible with his increased overall sp ee d .”
His UM team m ates get a good laugh from Pat when he d o es his Grizzly growl imitation but opposing players d on ’t think h e’s funny at all. Curry is the number one returning tackier on the defensive front with 46 stops. H e also had two sacks, forced a fumble, recovered two fum bles, and blocked a punt in 1980. “W e feel that Pat has developed into on e of the outstan ding defensive linemen in the Big Sky C on feren ce.” D onovan said. “At 6-6, he has very good feet and quick m ovem ent and w e are counting on him to provide us with a good p ass rush.” Curry w as nam ed UM ’s O utstanding Junior Player last

Defensive B ack/K O Returns, 5-8,170, Sr. Union City, CA
Probably the sm allest offensive lineman in the Big Sky, Basil, pound-for-pound is also on e of the b est at his position in the conference. He has started all three sea so n s at UM and 1981 will be no different. “Although his size is not im pressive, Basil plays every play to his fullest ex ten t,” said Donovan. “W e are looking for him to be on e of the leaders for us on a senior-dom inated offensive line.”

Mickey always seem s to be w here the ball is and saved several touchdow ns for UM last season .

Big Sky Conference The Big Sky C onference was formed in February 1963, when the presidents and athletic directors of six Rocky M ountain universities m et in Spokane. The original conference mem bers were G onzaga, Idaho, Idaho State, M ontana, M ontana State and W eber State. G onzaga entered the conference as a non-football playing school. The conference derived its nam e from a pair of M ontanans and a W ashington sports editor. A. B. G uthrie, Choteau, Mont., w rote a novel titled “The Big Sky,” and Jack Hallowell, former M ontana S tate Advertising director, prom oted the Big Sky them e as a nickname for the state. Harry Missildine, Spokesman-Review sports editor, picked up the nam e and in a sports column prom oted the nam e Big Sky as the nam e of the conference. O n Feb. 25, 1963, the conference adopted the nam e—Big Sky Athletic Conference. In 1970 the conference expanded to include N orthern Arizona University, Flagstaff, Ariz., and Boise State College, Boise, Idaho. Both entered as football playing schools. Nevada-Reno becam e the newest m em ber of the Big Sky July 1, 1979. Jack Friel becam e the first commissioner in 1963, and the offices were established in Pullman, W ash., Friel’s home. Following Friel’s retirem ent in July 1971, the offices were moved to Boise, Idaho, and John Roning was nam ed commissioner. Steve Belko was nam ed commissioner and assum ed duties July 1, 1977, following Roning’s retirement. Ron Stephenson becam e the fourth Big Sky commissioner in May, 1981. A native of Idaho, S tephenson’s m ost recent position was A ssistant Athletic D irector at Boise State. He has 16 years of working experience in intercollegiate athletics as a student, coach and administrator.

Grizzlies in Japan in 1983 (or 1984) The first Mirage Bowl in 1977 was won by Grambling, a 35-32 winner over Temple. Temple returned the following year, defeating Boston College, 12-10. N otre Dame beat Miami 45-15 in 1979, and last season UCLA knocked off O regon, 34-3. Air Force versus San Diego S tate is the 1981 Mirage Bowl matchup. The 1982 participants will be last year’s NCAA champion, Georgia and Kentucky. Brainchild of Teleplanning International, Inc. President, Atsushi Fujita, the Mirage Bowl was nam ed after a car produced by the sponsoring Mitsubishi M otors, a subsidiary of Teleplanning. Lewis said one of the primary reasons UM was invited to participate in the game was due to the assistance of Mike Mansfield, a former U.S. senator from M ontana and now the U.S. A m bassador to Japan. “Mr. Mansfield was instrum ental,” Lewis said. The game will be played in National Stadium, hom e of the 18th Olympic Gam es in 1964. It has a seating capacity of 80,000, and last year’s attendance for the Mirage Bowl was 80,000.
“Grizzlies Invade Tokyo” may sound like a movie title, but it will becom e fact in the fall of 1983 (or 1984). The University of M ontana football team has been invited to play in the Mirage Bowl, an event which began in 1977. The bowl game is sponsored by Teleplanning International, Inc. M ontana was originally going to play in 1983, however another team (Notre Dame) had already signed a contract, so the Grizzlies could participate in 1984. “No m atter what the year, this is an outstanding honor for the University of M ontana,” said UM Athletic Director Harley Lewis, who met with the Mirage Bowl com m ittee in late July. “This is a trem endous experience for our players. Plus it should give the football program an outstanding recruiting tool.” The Grizzlies’ opponent in the postseason football game has not been determ ined yet (although H arvard, New Mexico S tate and Grambling have all been m entioned as possible foes).
Tokyo’s Olympic Memorial Stadium, site of the 1964 Olympic Games, is also the site of the Mirage Bowl. Above is the Notre Dame-Miami game of 1979. Inset is Atushi Fujita (left), President of Tele-Planning International, Inc., and University of Montana Athletic Director Harley Lewis, shaking hands inside Memorial Stadium.
