Today’s game could be very important for PSU, which is 5-4, with two games remaining. Two more wins could give them a shot at the NCAA Division 1-AA playoffs.

If PSU doesn’t get the playoff nod, it could go to the winner of the N orthern Arizona-Nevada-Reno game Nov. 24th in Flagstaff. But, league champion M ontana State can’t be counted out either.

They also had their doubts about defensive back for the Grizzlies. and Bill Dolan, the Grizzlies’ talented core Dolan’s speed. “You can understand why I don’t think of wide receivers. Thanks to some crucial catches and size is all that important to play college Offensively, the skeptics had their consistent pass-catching ability, the football,” a smiling Dolan said. coaches are glad to have them in the Grizzly program. “I think we have the best overall group of wide receivers in the Big Sky Confer­ ence,” praised receiver coach Pat Dolan, a former Grizzly defensive standout him­ self during U M ’s unbeaten years in 1969 and 1970. “Two of them can go deep, and two can catch the short passes. They all have excellent hands,” said Dolan, who was the one who tabbed his receivers the “midgets.” “I was self-conscious about my size when I first came to Montana to play ,” admitted Lane, who is 5- 10, 160 pounds. “But, w hen I started playing I found out I could do it. I’ve always been one of the smallest guys. I found that if you work in your speed and catch the ball consistently, you can play wide receiver in college.” Sullivan, a 5-11, 175-pounder from Butte, is the largest of the wide receivers. He said the transition from a veer quarter­ back at Butte High to a wide receiver wasn’t too difficult. “It’s mainly concentration,” the senior said. “A lot of it’s natural, and a lot of it’s practice. Running good patterns was probably the hardest thing for me.” (He has caught 12 passes for 158 yards and a TD). “My size never bothered me,” continued Sullivan, who said he was recruited by Montana State and several Frontier Conference schools. “You have to do the best you can with what you’ve got.” Dolan, 5-9, 165-pound sophomore from Helena, said he thinks the main reason for the receiving corps success this season is, “we believed in ourselves, even though some people didn’t.” “You can be a good wide receiver and not be big,” Dolan said. “Look at Jim Hard (see page 12). He’s an excellent example. No, size never bothered me. A lot of big colleges have 5-10 starting receivers.” Coach Dolan said he thought one of the biggest factors for the team’s pass- BILL LANE has caught 10 passes for 119 catching success is that the players are all BILL DOLAN has been hampered with a yards thus far this season.

So, a friend and I drove up here in 202 passes (both records) for 1,310 yards ended up here to become one of the finest May, looked at the school and really liked (54 short of the record). Hard, who was an outstanding receiver at N apa JC in his hometown of Napa, CA, was recruited by Baylor, Weber State, San Jose State, Montana and UC Davis. A devout Christian, the 21-year-old Elementary Education major wanted to attend Baylor. “I was interested in attending Baylor because it w as a Christian school, but they lost the films of me in the mail and couldn’t offer me a scholarship. When I came to visit Montana, Athletes In Action w as here, and I met a lot of Christians from M issoula. That pretty much got me to stay here, although I really like the city and the surroundings.” The fact that Hard is already in the top 10 in U M ’s career receiving list, and can break the single-season reception and yardage records in today’s game, is even more impressive for another reason. He had open heart surgery his senior year in high school. “I had a hole in my heart, a heart murmur and valve that was blocking off the blood flow,” he recalled. “The opera­ tion was supposed to take an hour, but it took eight hours. It was in December, and I was playing baseball in February. The doctors were pretty surprised I recovered so fast.” Just four receptions and 11 yards away from UM’s receiving records, Hard, who wants to teach in a Christian school, said, “it w ouldn’t bother me if I don’t break them. It’s not high on my priority list.” Boyes, who has already broken several single-season and single-game records, attributed a lot of his success to his receivers. “These receivers are the best I’ve ever played with,” he said. ‘‘They all made a great catch or two this season. I can’t say enough about Jim Hard. His great catches have helped achieve those records.” This is the last day for the “show,” and a lot of Grizzly fans probably wish there A familiar sight to UM football fans.
