UMO Uses Submarine to Study Ocean Floor

A $300,000 grant from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administra­ tion will allow eight scientists from UMO’s Center for Marine Studies to participate in a research project investi­ gating the reasons why the Gulf of Maine is such a productive fishing ground. The project, said Dr. George Jacob­ son, acting director of the center, will focus on the sea floor. The grant funds a month’s use of a state-of-the-art sub­ mersible vessel and its mother ship. “The principal investigators,” said Jacobson, “will each get the submersible for a couple of days.” Several students will be able to go down with the UMO professors in the four-person submarine.

Football Coach Named

On March 1 Eugene (“Buddy”) Teevens III took over as UMO’s head football coach, at 28 becoming the youngest ac­ tive Division I head coach in the nation. A former star quarterback at Dart­ mouth, Teevens comes to Maine from Boston University where he served as of­ fensive coordinator for three seasons. Teevens promises to replace the wing- T offense of Ron Rogerson, who left Maine to become head coach at Prince­ ton, in favor of a controlled passing game. “The ball will be in the air this fall,” says Teevens. His first month at UMO was spent re­ cruiting in New Jersey, the Boston area, and Maine. “One of my goals,” says Teevens, “is to get the top Maine stu­ dents, rather than let them escape.” The new coach also assembled his staff, naming six assistant coaches: Tim Murphy, formerly of Boston University; John Lovett, Brown University and the New York Jets; Steve Robichaud, Worcester Polytechnic Institute and pre­ viously a graduate assistant at Maine; Tim Fitzgerald, Boston College; Mike Hutchins ’76, returning outside lineback­ er coach; “Brud” Bicknell, Wake Forest in North Carolina. During the three years Teevens coor­ dinated Boston’s offense, the Terriers tied for the YanCon title and went to the Mike Ballou ’86 pitches from a portable mound while coach John Winkin looks on. national playoffs.

Baseball was added to the radio line­ up in the early 1970s, and hockey late in the decade. Television coverage was used for the baseball team’s trips to the Col­ lege World Series. Covering four sports, the station now provides year-round sports listening and viewing. Gonyar announced UMO games until 1972. “For 22 years, it was Hale and Gonyar at the games,” Gonyar points out, referring to WABI announcer George Hale with whom he shared broad­ casting duties.
