-1- INFINITE VARIETY AT NORTHERN IOWA A Tradition 0 . R. Latham Stadium

O. R. Latham Stadium has been the home of the Panthers for nearly 35 years. Ded icated in 1940, the stadium has seen additions in 1963 and 1965 and presently seats 7,300 fans. It is a steal and concrete facility with lights. Over the years, Panther teams have fared well. UNI has won 107 games against 41 losses and 5 ties in side the friendly confines of the venerable old stadium .

The University of Northern Iowa is relatively new in name but the school itself is nearly 100 The names and the faces change and the years old. Created by the Iowa General Assembly, the university opened in 1876 as Iowa State uniforms have evolved to the present day stan Normal. In 1909, the name was changed to Iowa State Teachers College and under this name the dard, but the action remains. Above, UNI grid school attained a national reputation as a leader in the field of teacher education. In 1961 , the ders compete in the early days of the stadium, name was again changed to State College of Iowa and six years later attained its present name. helping the Panthers to roll up seven cham Teacher education remains the chief function of the university, a wide-ranging program of pionships in the first seven years of the non-teaching courses, including professional trai ning in business and science-related areas, are stadium's history. Panther teams have rolled now offered. up five more league titles since those days, the last in 1964. Below, recent action at 0 . R. The school has grown from its original 40-acre site to more than 40 buildings and 600 acres. Latham Stadium, continuing the well New structures include the Union, science building, music building, Towers residence and din established UNI winning tradition. ing complex, the physical education instructional center, the modern education center and an addition to the library. UNl's prowess in teacher education has left its mark on the physical education department, which turns out per capita the largest number of coaches in the state. Maintenance of a well-rounded intercollegiate athletic program is of prime i nterest to the UNI staff. The success of this endeavor is indicated by the fact that Panther teams have won the con ference's all-sports trophy the last three years. The University retains membership in the National Collegiate Athletic Association and is one of eight schools in the rugged North Central Conference - America's premiere college division league. A full round of 11 intercollegiate sports are sponsored by the conference and all have championship events. -2- Stan Sheriff - Energy, Dedication, Success Head Football Coach and Athletic Director It's been 15 years since Stan Sheriff became the head man at the University of Northern Iowa. Since that time, the law enforced by UNl 's Sheriff has been stern for opponents and justice has prevailed on the side of the UNI Panthers. An impressive 77-56-2 mark over the first 14 years is the first indication of the suc cess enjoyed by Panther teams under the tutelage of the former All-American and professional football player. That mark becomes even more significant when one re alizes t hat Sheriff coached teams have captured four North Central Conference titles and participated in two post-season bowl games. Northern Iowa won league crowns in 1960 (Sheriff's first year as head coach), 1961, 1962, and 1964 under the highly respected Sheriff. As a matter of fact, the Panthers have placed in the first division of the NCC - widely acknowledged as the toughest NCAA Division II league in America - 12 times in 14 years including eight 1st or 2nd place finishes. In Sheriff's first year at t he reigns of the Panthers, UNI lost a 17-6 contest to Hillsd_aJ,e College in the Mineral Water Bowl. The Panthers 1964 title team participated fn the NCAA M id-West regional championship, the Pecan Bowl, and earned a 19-17 · · decision over Lamar Tee~ . The capper to all these facts and figures is, UNI teams have been blessed with seven first team All-American selections, two second team picks (including defensive free safety M ike Woodley last year), and two third team Al l-Americans. In addition, 38 Sheriff-coached athletes have been 'named to the All-North Central Conferen9e team over the years. The 42-year-old Sheriff is a native of San Francisco where his mother still resides " and was an All-American center at Cal Poly in 1953. He became o ne of the first col lege division players ever invited to the annual East-West Shrine All-Star game and the Hula Bowl game. From there, the rugged Sheriff advanced to the National Foot ball League where he played linebacker for three years with the Rams, Browns, Steelers, and Redskins. A United States Army veteran of two years, he earned a bachelors degree in 1954 and masters in 1958 from C,al Poly. Sheriff holds positions on the NCAA Football Rules Committee, the American Football Coaches Public Relations committee, and is a regional member of both the NCAA football and baseball post-season selection committees. In recent years, Sheriff has assumed the duties of Athletic Director and has guided UNl 's balanced program to three straight NCC All-Sports titles. In addition, he has been one of the moving forces in forming the UNI-Dome into a reality. S a11 and his wife Jane have three sons - Paul, Michael, and Richard.
