It once was said that there were two major sports in ... football and spring football. While that isn't the case here in the North Coun­ try, has done what he could to bring spring football into that major sports category. 1n his first year at the hlem of the Golden Gophers, Holtz embarked on 20 days of spring practice with the same kind of enthusiasm that he treats everything else, and it was contagious. Hotlz was de~ermined to hold a Spring Game that would get his youthful Minnesota football off on the right foot in its preparations for the 1984 season. Holtz wanted a big crowd, a pro­ duction, a night of with people involved. Several local firms jumped on the bandwagon. Twin Cities Federal was the leader, and im­ mediately purchased 10,000 tickets which it plan­ ned to distribute through its area outlets. G. Heilman Brewing Company, brewers of Schmidt Beer in St. Paul, also pitched in as did Republic Airlines. It obviously became a team el­ fort, and as Holtz had hoped, "everybody who shoveled snow" got involved. But the cr.thusiasm generated by Holtz for football was' apparent in other ways. Ken Buell, U of M athletic ticket manager, opened an "Ear­ ly Bird Season Ticket Sale" for the first time in U ofM Athletic Director Paul Giel accepts a check for $9,576, representing the sale of /33 new history in Gold Country, and about 5,000 season tickets were sold.

That all happened before we opened the regular re-order or normal season ticket sale." With that kind of response, and with the interest shown in the Spring Game at the Hubert H.

One of the key figures in any college or univer­ • sity's athletic departments is the faculty represen­ tative, and at the University of Minnesota that key man is Robert Stein, dean of the U of M Law School. Now in his fourth year as the Golden Gophers' liaison to the , Stein also oversaw both the men's and women's athletic programs during his tenure as Vice President for Administrative Operations at the U of M before accepting his current assignment as dean. Paul Giel, director of Men's athletics at the U of M, regards Dean Stein as an integral part of the athletic program and its athletic staff. "The role of the Faculty Representative is critical to the success of the total program," Giel says, "and at Minnesota we are very fortunate to have an individual of Dean Stein's integrity and capabilities holding that position." During the time that Dean Stein has been associated with the athletic department, he has gained the respect and admiration of everyone involved. As a University Vice President and now as Faculty Representative, Dean Stein has become a friend of the individual athletes and an ally to their program. Dean Stein is a native of Minneapolis and received his Bachelor of Science in Law degree from the University of Minnesota and his Juris Doctor degree summa cum laude from the 4 University of Minnesota Law School. After three years in private law practice in DEAN ROBERT STEIN Milwaukee, he joined the law faculty at Min­ nesota in 1964, teaching in the areas of property law, trusts and estates, and estate and tax plan­ • ning.

Butch is back: After a three-year "retirement" from Golden Gopher foot­ ball, has returned to the University of Minnesota football scene. New Lou Holtz lured Butch out of retirement to tutor a planned-for junior varsity team, and the move has been heralded by all con­ cerned as one that is outstading. Nash played football at the U of M in the 1930's, and he was an assistant here under , , , and Joe Salem before retiring at the conclusion of the 1980 season.

George Wemeier has become the newest addition to Lou Holtz football coach staff. A 1952 graduate of Macalester College, Wemeier was the head football coach at Minneapolis Washburn from 1966 through 1983. His teams won the Minnesota state championship in 1972 and again in 1977, and Introduced as the University of Minnesota's 1984-85 varsity hockey captain during one span went 60 games without a loss.

John Anderson, U of M coach, called this year's experiment at the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome, a big success. The Golden Gophers hosted a clinic for area baseball players of all ages (designed for Little League through high school) which attracted 2,500. Then a double header on Saturday drew 4,000 fans. Plans are underway to see if a four-team, round-robin tournament can be held at the Metrodome next spring.

The two-day event featured lecture sessions, question and answer periods, on-the-field observation sessions, a luncheon and a social event at the Schmidt Brewery. Jim Strong, one of the Holtz' top aides, was the clinic coordinator.

Jim Dutcher, U of M basketball coach, will make a couple of changes on his staff for 1984-85. Bill Gappy, who held down a part-time assistant's post this year, plans to return to Michigan Tech to resume his duties as head basketball coach of the Huskies. Dutcher plans to move Steve Brown, a graduate assistant in '83-'84, up to Gappy's spot. He also hopes to persuade Darryl Mitchell to return as his graduate assistant coach for next season.

One of the most important aspects of the football' program which we discuss with our players and recruits is their future after football. To help prepare them for that future it is important for them to have summer employment ex­ perience outside the University setting. It is the hope and desire of Coach Lou Holtz, the Athletic Department ad­ ministration and myself to place greater emphasis on more career-oriented jobs for our players who are interested in and qualified for them. In our recruiting, we have indicated that the potential for this kind of employ­ ment is a major reason for attending the University of Minnesota. We would like to ask for your help in making this potential a reality for the many exceptional, goal-oriented young men on our football team. Areas in which our players have ex­ pressed interest are business-related fields, communications, law, computer Enjoying the "good lije" at the Minnesota-Arizona Williams Fund Outing recently were Golden science and engineering as well as con­ Athletic Director Paul Giel, Williams Fund Director Tom Barron, Ray King and Frank Stanton. struction and general labor jobs.

Lou Holtz His Magic Is Enthusiasm Very few coaches in history have been able to generate the mass enthusiasm, excitement and pride that Lou Holtz has in the football program at the University of Minnesota. Paui Giei speaking ... Holtz has had a Midas touch with all the college football programs with which he has been associated. At Minnesota he has Dear Golden Gopher Fans and Supporters, reached into his magical bag of tricks and I am happy to introduce to you the first issue pulled out the hope that Minnesota will of the new, expanded Gopher Chatter. once again be a national football power­ house. With so many things happening throughout the year in our Men's Intercollegiate The secret to Holtz' success is, however, Athletics 11-sport program and the upsurge of interest in the football program, we no illusion. felt that the time was right to pursue more in-depth coverage of all our sports and "It's the same ingredients wherever you the people and events associated with them. go," Holtz says. "People helping with and Therefore we have decided to increase the number of issues of the Chatter from caring about the football program. People three to 25. This increase will include weekly issues throughout the football season cared enough to support Minnesota's pro­ and bi-weekly issues during the rest of the school year, with one issue in the gram in the past and they took pride in It. summer.

We have come up with what we hope is a viable solution for everyone concerned. The newsletter will be sent to all "M" letter winners, booster club members in all 11 sports and all donors to the Williams Fund. We realize that not everyone who would like to receive the Chatter is able to participate in one of the areas and so we have created a new donor level for the Williams Fund. For a minimal annual donation of $25 to the Williams Fund, Gopher fans will receive all the issues of the new Gopher Chatter. We have tried to keep this donation as low as possible so everyone who is interested will be able to participate. The first two issues this year will be sentto the entire mailing list of the old Gopher Chatter, including season ticket holders. This will give you an idea of what we hope to do with the newsletter and will give you the opportunity to decide if you would Holtz modestly gives much of the credit like to receive future issues. Starting with the third issue, which will be mailed the for his successes to those around him week of Sept. 17, the mailings will go to everyone who has donated $25 or more to including his coaching staff, university the Williams Fund in calendar year 1984 as well as the people in the clubs which administrators and loyal supporters.

NEW FOOTBALL COMPLEX •A Welcome Addition The Minnesota Football Program took a giant step forward last May when ground was broken for a sparkling new football facility at the Bierman Field Athletic Com­ plex. Included in the new facility will be an enclosed football practice area for year­ round use which will be completed in early October. The adjacent building will house all football offices, services, etc., and will be ready for occupancy in late February or early March 1985. Head Coach Lou Holtz is ecstatic about the new facility. "It will be the finest colle­ giate indoor practice facility in the nation for football," he said. "One of the things I like so much about Minnesota is when they The new football complex ... under construction do something, they do it right." into his new facility.

No, this is not Lou Holtz discussing his football team, but Minnesota's Cross-Country Coach Roy Griak talking about his 1984 team.

After an average season last fall, Coach Griak is looking to his veterans, including senior Captain Dave Morrison who was injured in 1983, to lead Minnesota on the road to success.

Practice started on September 4 and the first meet will be held at the U of M Golf Course on September 22 against Drake. That is the beginning of a tough 10-meet schedule (listed below) which concludes with the NCAA Championships at Roy Griak Penn state in November.

IT'S A BIG TEN VICTORY­ WALK-ONS AT MINNESOTA-DEFINITELY PART OF THE TEAM GOPHERS DEFEAT INDIANA WALK-ON: Simply stated, a student-athlete who participates in an athletic program without initially receiving any direct financial aid from that program. 33-24 Many people wonder why there is a need for a walk-on program at a Big Ten school such as While accumulating 505 total yards in of­ Minnesota and what purpose the program serves. fense, the Gophers broke a 19-9ame Big Ten In the mid 70's, the NCAA enacted a rule which limited to 95 the number of football scholarships losing streak in route to a 33-24 victory over which a school could provide at anyone time in a given year. This is broken down to a maximum of the Indiana Hoosiers October 6 in the Metro­ 30 scholarships which can be awarded annually. Therefore, if many upperclassmen are on dome. Senior tailback Tony Hunter scored scholarship, the number of scholarships which can be offered to freshmen or transfers is severely three touchdowns and Dwayne McMullen limited. And, if there is a shortage of players at a particular position, it is necessary to use the caught a 79-yard touchdown pass from Rickey scholarships available to recruit the best possible athletes for that position. These situations make it Foggie to lead the Minnesota attack. important to attract players to walk on who would have been recruited had the limited scholarship rule not been in effect. So why is it important to have a walk-on program? "College football has become a very sophisticated game," said Buddy Ball, Minnesota's recruiting coordinator. "To be able to conduct quality practices, it is necessary to have as many good athletes on the field as possible. We have many outstanding young men who have walked on at Minnesota who are making an important contribution to our program."

Steve Gibbons is one of these young men. A fourth-year junior linebacker from Ohio, Steve was a walk-on who is now on scholarship. "Having a walk-on program is a great thing," he said. "Sometimes someone is written off as not being good enough to play Division I football, maybe they're not big or fast enough in high school, but they may really turn around in college."

"I thought I could compete in Division I football and I really SIeve Gibbons wanted to go to the University of Minnesota."

Feeling like part of the team was a recurring theme among Minnesota's Indiana scored first on a 10-yard pass from walk-ons, as was the feeling that they had the ability to play Division I quarterback Steve Bradley to Len Kenebrew. football.

WALK-ONS (continued from page 1)

"~ Freshman Chip Lohmiller from Woodbury, Minn., didn't have the luxury of competing with the junior varsity, he started as the place kicker with the varsity in Minnesota's first game. "One reason I walked on at Minnesota was because I knew the position I played was open and I thought I might have the chance to play. I was lucky that I was able to." When asked why he came all the way to Minnesota from West Palm Beach, Fla., sophomore nose guard Travis Mitchell replied, "My brother (Darryl), played basketball here and I fell in love with the Twin Cities Chip Lohmiller when I came to visit. There's a lot of tradition at Minnesota and that's very important to me." All of the walk-ons interviewed ageed that Minnesota was a terrific place to go to school not only because of its fine academic reputation but also because of the job opportunities in the Twin Cities area both during the summer and after graduation. When asked if there was anything bad about being a walk-on there was total agreement. "The only time you know you're a walk-on is when it comes to eating," said Travis. "There's an NCAA rule that walk-ons can't eat at training table. It gives us a little added incentive Travis Mitchell to get as good as we can be." A

In Foggie's absence, Minnesota could only score three points the rest of the game. Foggie was impressive leading Minnesota to 10 first-half points. In the first quarter, Chip Lohmiller kicked a 24-yard field goal to cap a 73-yard drive. State countered with a 52-yard pass from Yarema to Ingram, giving State a 7-3 lead after one quarter.

Yarema connected with Ingram from 41 yards and Mojsiejenko kicked his first field goal, giving the Spartans a 17-10 halftime lead. Lohmiller booted a 34-yard field goal to provide the only scoring of the third quarter and with Foggie out of the game, the Spartan defense, ranked 10th nationally against the run, shut down the Gopher offense to ensure the victory.

Front row (I-r): Chris Cosh, Greg McMahon, Ron Cooper Back row (I-r): Darryl Mason, , , Dan Lawrence But to be come a football grad assistant, one has to have more than a love for the sport and a desire to learn. The NCAA has very specific rules governing graduate assistantships. The applicant must already have a bachelor's degree and must be enrolled in 50% of the institution's minimum regular graduate program. Pay is limited to commonly accepted educational expenses. In other words, a graduate assistant cannot make any more money than that which is awarded to a player on scholarship for room, board, books and tuition. With some exceptions, for academic reasons, tenure as a grad assistant cannot exceed two years. In addition to conforming to the above rules, there has to be something special about a young man which catches the coach's eye when he is sifting through all the applications he has received. )~ :'r. ,,"- Vinny Cerrato and Greg McMahon are both in their second year as graduate assistants at Minnesota and both are pleased with the positive attitude they are seeing displayed this QB Rickey Foggie directing the Gopher option offense against Michigan State. season by the coaches, players and everyone associated with the athletic program.

Dutcher has already piloted a Minnesota team to a conference championship in 1982 and has a winning record here of 164-91. Winning is something that Dutcher has become accustomed to in all of his coaching locales. Priorto coming to Minnesota, Dutcher served as assistant coach under Johnny Orr at Michigan. He had returned to his alma mater, where he played both football and basketball, after spending six years as head coach at Eastern Michigan University where his club had a .709 winning percentage and reached the NCAA Division II finals in 1972. Before leading Eastern Michigan to six consecutive national tournaments, Dutcher coached for seven seasons at the community college in his hometown of Alpena, Mich., where he had a 105-70 record and was twice named Conference Coach of the Year. Other coaching honors he has received include being twice named NAIA District 23 Coach of the Year while at Eastern Michigan, Co-coach of the year in the Big Ten in 1980 and NCAA District II Coach of the Year and Big Tight end Kevin Starks eluded a Michigan de­ Ten Coach of the year in 1982. fender after receiving a pass from Rickey Foggie. aJutchercredits much of his success to his coaching philosophies of discipline wrd fundamental basketball and a feeling that "basketball is a team game.

JOHN KELLY FLOYD RETURNS Reflecting on Minnesota, Anticipating the Future GOPHERS STUN IOWA 23-17 John Kelly is a very articulate young man. "I've always thought that being able to communicate with people was extremely impor­ tant. I've consciously worked on my verbal skills in an attempt to overcome the stereotype that some people have of the football player who isn't able to communicate with anyone other than another player. If you talked to almost anyone of our players, I think you'd find that they are able to express themselves very well, and I have to give a lot of the credit for that to Coach Holtz. He is an incredible communicator and that has definitely rubbed off on the team."

John Kelly In addition to being articulate, John is also very thoughtful. He considered his words carefully before answering when asked what he thought the University of Minnesota had done for him. "I didn't really make up my mind to come to Minnesota until my senior year in high school," he said, "but I'm glad I made the decision I did. Being here has been a big challenge to me both athletically and academically, but I Minnesota players celebrate the return of feel that I was exposed to a lot of things here that I wouldn't have experienced at another Floyd of Rosedale.

By respectability I also mean that direction and now it's up to us to let people know that we need when our fans left the game, win or lose, they were proud of the their help. We're doing that, I think, with promotions like the "New effort of our team and the organization of our team and said "I'm U" fund for the football facility. glad I've got season tickets because I can see a future for the Golden Gophers under Lou Holtz, they're heading in the right I've been talking about the football program but I don't want direction." you to think I've forgotten the other 10 sports in Men's Intercolle­ giate Athletics.
