The 41-year old San Francisco native has had a highly successful 13-year record of 72-51-2, winning nearly six of every ten games in that period. However, the North Central Conference championships that he claimed so often earlier in his career have not found their way to the Cedar Falls campus in recent years and Sheriff is out to rectify the situation. Sheriff first came to UNI as an assistant coach to Bill Hammer in 1958 and took over the reins in 1960- Without doubt, he is one of the busiest men in town. producing an unbeaten bowl team in his first season. In In addition to his coaching responsibilities he also is di addition to that NCC title he won three others-the last rector of athletics and has seen the Panther program win being the 1964 team which also won the Pecan Bowl. the league's all-sport title the past two years.

2 I Northern Iowa Assistants

Offensive Linemen Don Erusha, a 1953 graduate of Coe College, directs the Northern Iowa offensive line. Since coming to UNI from Coe in 1963, he has had responsi bilities with both the offensive and defensive units and has consistently developed top-flight linemen-including first team All-American Ray Peder son in 1967. Don, married with one daughter, previously coached in the high school ranks at West Union, West Branch, Mt. Clemons, Mich., and Cedar Rapids Washington in addition to his Coe coaching tenure. His longtime experience makes him just the man to handle the difficult assignment of molding the offensive line into a cohesive unit.

Don Erusha

Defensive Line-Linebackers Dennis Remmert begins his tenth year on Sheriff's staff, this year in charge of the defensive line and the linebackers. "Rem" was an All-American in his playing days at Northern Iowa as a tackle. He graduated in 1959 and played briefly with Buffalo in the professional ranks. He served as a student assistant under Sheriff in 1961 and 1962, then coached at Iowa Central Community College for a year before returning for the Pecan Bowl year of 1964. He and wife Sandy have two young sons.

Defensive Backs Dan Boals was twice named the conference's outstanding back and was a Dennis Remmert first team All-American in 1962 as a fullback under Sheriff. He still holds several UNI rushing and scoring records. Dan moves from offensive to defensive backfield coach this fall in an effort to emphasize the defense. There he will have a tough assignment in trying to blend experienced returnees with talented but untested newcomers. Boals coached at Charles City and Waterloo West High Schools prior to returning to UNI in 1971. His record at West High was an impressive 21-5-1 and had his teams ranked among the state's best.

Graduate Assistants

Dennis Kettner Denny begins his second year as a graduate assistant and, his talents are evident in that he has been given responsibility of the offensive backs. A 1969 graduate of UNI, he was a star fullback and tight end in his playing days. He is married. Dan Boals Mike Barnes Mike is entering his first year as a graduate assistant on the UNI foot ball staff. He comes to Cedar Falls from Cornell College in Mount Vernon.

Norman Jones Panthers / 9 The Newcomers

The incoming freshmen and transfer students re cruited by Sheriff and his staff could be one of the best new groups of late on the UNI campus. If few names ring a bell, there is a good reason-heavy em phasis was placed on offensive and defensive linemen where it is difficult to achieve wide acclaim. Among those who could be a major help this fall are Waldorf Junior College transfer Clarence "C.D." Daniels, a 240-pound defensive tackle who could be a starter. He was twice all-conference in the jc ranks. Other prime recruits include Dale Blaha and Wayne Fry of Cedar Rapids Jefferson's state champions, burly Jim Spahn of Lincoln, Neb., Cedar Falls' all-state center Mark Uhlman, Waverly tackle, wrestler and shot putter Dallas Dieke and 6-6 tight end Chris Ligocki of Racine, Wis. Among the backs are several potential stars. They include 5-8, 195-pound Tom Scallissi, called the best to come out of the Janesville, Wis., area in many years; Barry Alston, also a baseball star, of Waukegon, Ill., Dave Stewart of Racine, Wis. and Pat Eisenmenger of Cherokee. Twenty-eight newcomers will be on hand August 19 when fall practice begins and, of course, any or all could see action during the season. The large number, however, indicates again the youthful nature of the 1973 Panthers and just could be another warning to future opponents that Northern Iowa football is on the move.
