THE COACHING STAFF The University of Idaho has a well balanced coach­ ing staff with years of experience both as players and in the instruction side. With the exception of Fresh­ man Coach Art Smith, all have played professional football. Dr. Jacobson, team trainer, has also been a coach so he understands both the player and the coach's point of view. Both Coach Smith and Coach Herschel Ramsey are new to the staff this season. During the playing season the staff is usually divided up with Coaches Harlow and Ramsey doing the scout­ ing while Coach Curfman assists Head Coach Howell in handling the game on Saturday. .B!!.!J .Afulllns Jlicfl Le .Due Bill Ft;!Y

Howell has not indicated any change in this detail for Washington State. To date the Vandals have lost to Montana 28 to 27 and to Western 43 to 33, but have notched up wins over Utah 26 to 19 and over Oregon 14 to 0. They have been a high scoring team but not too sharp defensively, at least until the Oregon encounter. For the Vandals to go into the platoon system required great risk and quite a gamble. In as thin a squad as the Vandals an injury or two might upset all the apple cart.

Men to Watch Men you might like to pay particular attention to here today on the Vandal squad are not roo numerous, but several will bear watching. In the line at guard, No. 23, is Roy Colquitt. Last year as a junior Colquitt was named to the first all­ coast squad and is an improved player this fall with the added experience. Off the field Colquitt is slow and lazy but on the turf he moves with the best of them. John Brogan has borne the brunt of Idaho's offensive load for the past two years. He throws,
