— 2 — The University

Since it was chartered by the Third Legislative Assembly of Montana, Feb. 17, 1893, the University of Montana has grown from an institution with 50 students and 7 faculty members in 1895 to more than 7,000 students and 325 full-time instructional staff members in 1968. Fifty-nine percent of these faculty members hold doctoral degrees. The University of Montana is fully accredited by the Northwest Association of Secondary and Higher Schools. The seven professional schools, including business administration, education, fine arts, fores­ try, journalism, law and pharmacy, are all ac­ credited by appropriate national organizations. More than 40 buildings are contained within the limits of the 16-acre main campus on the eastern edge of Missoula. The University owns an additional 624 acres on Mt. Sentinel. A short distance south of the main campus is a 154-acre area holding 394 mar­ ried students housing units, a nine-hole golf course, the University field, and the new Dom- blaser Stadium for football and track. New buildings on campus include two high-rise dormitories and the gigantic new University . The University also owns 295 acres at Fort Mis­ soula, plus 20,850 acres in the Lubrecht Experi­ mental Forest, 35 miles northeast of Missoula, and 167 acres on Flathead Lake, including a Biological Station at Yellow Bay, 90 miles north of Missoula.

The President

Robert T. Pantzer was appointed President of the University of Montana on Dec. 16, 1966 by the State Board of Regents after he served as acting president since August 15, 1966. A familiar figure on the Missoula campus, Pantzer has been associated with the University since 1957, serving as a professor of business administration and as financial vice pres­ ident. He received his B.A. in business administration from UM in 1940 before serving 42 months over­ seas during World War II. He was discharged from the Army with the rank of major and a bronze star for meritorious service in the East Indies. Following the war, Pantzer returned to grad­ uate from the University of Montana law school in 1947 before serving as county attorney at Chester, Montana from 1947-50 and practicing law in Liv­ ingston, Montana, his birthplace, until 1957. Pantzer and his wife, Ann, have three children.

— 3 — Athletic Director Jack Swarthout is Montana’s athletic director, and since assuming these duties as well as those of head football coach on Feb. 1, 1967, he has taken large strides in changing the athletic atmosphere at the University of Mon­ tana. Swarthout, a native of Prosser, Wash., is well known in Montana sports circles. He came to the University of Montana and played football from 1940-42, seeing action at quarterback, halfback and end. His brother Bill was here at the same time, and the two played ball to­ gether for two of those three years. Bill Swarth­ out is now a high school administrator in Great Falls. Swarthout was born Feb. 23, 1920. He lettered in football, basketball and baseball in high school, and graduated from the University of Montana in 1942 with a bachelor’s degree in political science.

Head Coach Bob Cope is starting his first year as head basket­ ball coach at the University of Montana after serving as assistant coach for three seasons. Cope, who graduated from Missoula County High School and the Uni­ versity of Montana, where he still holds several school scoring records, was bom in Havre, Mont., July 17, 1928. He received his Bachelor’s degree from UM in 1951, and a Mas­ ter’s degree in 1955. A national high school javelin champion in 1946, he was named to the Helm’s Athletic Founda­ tion All-America basket­ ball team in 1948, the UM Basketball Hall of Fame and the State of Montana Athletic Hall of Fame. As a college student, he was a member of Silent Sentinel, senior men’s honorary. His athletic career included a one-season baseball stint with the professional Billings Mustangs of the Pioneer League in 1951. His career as a head basketball coach, lasting from 1951 to 1965 and stretching from coast to coast in high school, college and service ranks, has brought him to the Montana head coaching job with a record of 244 wins, 92 losses.

— 4 — Assistant Coach Lou Rocheleau is stepping into college coaching ranks for the first time as Bob Cope’s assistant after a long and illustrious high school career in football, basketball and track. After guiding Beaver­ head County High School teams to divisional titles in the three sports in 1950-51, he moved to Mis­ soula County (Sentinel) High School, working as head coach in basketball and track and as B squad football coach. As head basketball coach in Missoula, he compiled a 314-79 record, and none of his teams ever had a losing season. His basketball teams took three state and nine con­ ference or divisional titles. His teams of 1962-63 and 1963-64 were undefeated, winning 22 and 27 games, respectively. He pro­ duced 26 all-state players. As head track coach through 1965, he had a 75-12 record with 7 Interscholastic titles, 3 second places, and 11 divisional titles. He coached 11 state record holders. His B squad football teams through 1962 won 69 and lost 12. He was named Montana prep coach of the year in 1958, 1959, 1962 and 1963. The award originated in 1958. In 1958, he was also given the Sportsman of the Year Award by the Missoula Chamber of Com­ merce.

10 Season Outlook

New head coach Bob Cope and his assistant, Lou Rocheleau, are calling the coming varsity cage sea­ son a building one, although both are hoping that it could be something more than just that. “We’re going to change the entire approach to both offense and defense in comparison to what we’ve had since I came here as an assistant coach,” Cope says. “How this change works out is going to depend upon how quickly our returnees adjust to the changes, and how the new JC transfers shape up during the first two or three weeks of practice.” Cope says his squad will have better overall size than in the past few years, “but we’re still not as big as we’d like to be.” He also thinks the squad will have better depth, especially at guard. “We’ve got to develop into a solid unit just as quickly as possible,” he says, “ and with the changes we’re going to initiate, this will take some time.” Cope thinks his schedule is a tough one, at least comparable to schedules that Grizzly teams have faced in the years he has been at UM. This is something he plans to improve during the coming years. Actually, the two coaches are hoping the team begins to hit stride at about the time the University opens Big Sky league play in mid-January. Mon­ tana will have eight games under its belt by then. Leading the list of nine returning lettermen is 6-4 senior forward Ron Moore, who was leading Grizzly scorer at mid-season last year when he sustained a knee injury. Other returnees who logged a lot of playing time last season include forwards Mark and Max Agather and Ray Dirindin, plus guards John Cheek and Stan Yoder. Only two members of the 1967-68 frosh team are on the squad, those being guards Mike Heroux and Don Wetzel, the top two freshman scorers of a year ago. Cope and Rocheleau, who took over in March, hit the recruiting trail hard, trying to bring in transfers who could be of starting calibre while loading the freshman roster to perhaps make it the best in UM history. There are three transfers trying out, including 6-8 center George Yule, who started at center for tough Orange Coast College in California. Harold Ross is a fine guard from the Washington JC ranks, while 6-5 forward Howard Clark from Washington’s Everett College is expected to give Montana badly needed help at forward. It appears that Montana cannot expect a brilliant season this time around, but Cope and Rocheleau believe that Grizzly fans can expect an improved team. “We’ve got a tremendous frosh group, with at least four players capable of playing on the varsity right now,” Cope says. “ So the year after this could bring great improvement in our outlook.”

Seattle Pacific College (Nov. 30 in Missoula)

GENERAL INFORMATION Location: Seattle, Washing­ ton. Enrollment: 2,000. Presi­ dent: Dr. David L. McKenna. Colors: Maroon and White. Nickname: Falcons. Home Arena: Royal Brougham Pa­ vilion (2,000). Head Coach: Les Habegger (12th year, 174-113). Assistant Coaches: Howard Heppner, David Wortman. Ath­ letic Director: Les Habegger. Sports Information Director: J. Harland Beery. Conference: In­ dependent (NCAA). Lettermen Lost: Four. Lettermen Return­ ing: Nine. 1967-68 Record: 16-9. Les Habegger Series Record With Montana: 0- 1.

FALCON OUTLOOK Nine men return from last season’s varsity with seven freshman graduates. None of the varsity veterans were certain starters last year and may not be again. Six of the sophomores played on last sea­ son’s record 18-5-1 freshman team. Scott Pope, a starting guard on the 1966-67 frosh team until sidelined by a knee injury, is a varsity candidate more than one year late. The Falcons recruited no transfers this year. Coach Les Habegger enters his 12th season and toughest schedule with a 174-113 record. Four men graduated from last season’s team that rated post-season tournament considera­ tion. Major loss is Bill Yeager, who earned All- America mention after averaging 19.9 points and 12.6 rebounds.

18 St. Cloud State College (Dec. 4 in Missoula)

GENERAL INFORMATION Location: St. Cloud, Minne­ sota. Enrollment: 9,000. Presi­ dent: Dr. Robert H. Wick. Colors: Red and Black. Nick­ name: Huskies. Home Arena: Halenbeck Hall (7,500). Head Coach: Marlowe “Red” Sever­ son (10 years, 172-48). Assistant Coach: Jack Haddorff. Athletic Director: Ed Colletti. Sports In­ formation Director: Bob Peter­ son. Athletic Trainer: Gene Mills. Conference: Northern In­ tercollegiate (NAIA). Letter- men Lost: Three. Lettermen Re­ Red Severson turning: Ten. 1967-68 Record: 25-4. Series Record With Mon­ tana: First meeting.

HUSKY OUTLOOK Coach Marlowe “Red” Severson embarks on his 11th season as head basketball coach as St. Cloud State College with the unenviable task of replacing Terry Porter and Tom Ditty, two of the most pro­ lific scorers in Husky history. Porter and Ditty com­ bined efforts last year to tally 1,024 points, an aver­ age of 35.2 points per game. Coach Severson makes no bones about the difficulty of making up for that production. Last year the Huskies posted a brilliant 25-4 record and added their eighth Northern Inter­ collegiate Championship in 10 years under Sever­ son. They also helped Severson to his third NAIA District 13 title and a spot in the national tourna­ ment in Kansas City. With Porter and Ditty gone, hopes for the 1968-69 campaign will rest with 10 returning lettermen, including co-captains Mike Trewick and Neil Warnberg. Trewick is a 6-3 guard while Warnberg is a 6-5 center.

GENERAL INFORMATION Location: Pullman, Washing­ ton. Enrollment: 12,000. Presi­ dent: Dr. Glenn Terrell. Colors: Crimson and Gray. Nickname: Cougars. Home Arena: Bohler Gymnasium (5,000). Head Coach: (10 years, 105-153). Assistant Coach: . Athletic Director: Stan Bates. Sports In­ formation Director: Dick Fry. Athletic Trainer: Dick Vander- voort. Conference: Pacific Eight (NCAA). Lettermen Lost: Six. Lettermen Returning: Eight. 1967-68 Record: 16-9. Series Marv Harshman Record With Montana: 64-21.

COUGAR OUTLOOK Washington State is expecting another fine bas­ ketball season in 1968-69. Coach Marv Harshman returns all but two of the starters off his 16-9 team of last year, and the Cougars bring up a quartet of fine players from the freshman team that lost only one game in 23 starts. Montana provides two of these fine varsity prospects. Leading scorer Jim Meredith is from Anaconda and second-leading re- bounder Jim Smiley played at Bozeman. Jim Mc­ Kean, all-time WSU scoring and rebounding leader is gone, along with outstanding guard Ray Stein, but the Cougars have good size and speed returning in forward Ted Wierman, 6-8 and 230; forward Gary Elliot, 6-6, and guard Lenny Allen, speedy 5-9 fast- break specialist. Among the other returning letter- men, guard Rick Erickson and 6-7 forward Blaine Ellis have the potential to start. Two other up­ coming sophomores, guard-forward Dennis Hogg, 6-5, and guard Mike Gomez, 6-3, are outstanding prospects.

Home Arena: Men’s Gymnasium (3,000). Head Coach: Zeke Hogeland (1 year, 15-7). Athletic Director: Dr. James Witham. Sports In­ formation Director: Dick Dietl. Athletic Trainer: Elmer Korte- meyer. Conference: North Cen­ tral (NCAA). Lettermen Lost: Two. Lettermen Returning: Eight. 1967-68 Record: 15-7. Zeke Hogeland Series Record With Montana: First meeting.

PANTHER OUTLOOK Northern Iowa’s Panthers lost only one starter, record-setting Jerry Waugh, from last year’s team and will be taller this winter, but it is the defense that must be shored up. Zeke Hogeland’s first year saw UNI fall a point short from tying South Dakota State for the title. He’d like to get over that hump the second time around. Returning starters include two-time All-NCC center Ken Huelman, a 6-8 senior with a good shot at the all-time UNI scoring record; 6-6 forward John Mar­ tin, 6-5 guard Skip Anderson, and 6-0 guard Dar­ rell Jesse. The other starter will likely be 6-5 Rod Larson, an outstanding rebounder. Huelman and Jesse are seniors, the rest juniors. Tiny Larry Clau­ sen, a 5-10 senior, has the best chance to crack this five, replacing Jesse if he does. The Panthers averaged 88.1 points per game last year but allowed 80.7 as they topped the 100-point total five times.

GENERAL INFORMATION Location: Marquette, Michi­ gan. Enrollment: 7,500. Presi­ dent: Dr. John X. Jamrich. Colors: Old Gold and Olive Green. Nickname: Wildcats. Home Arena: C. 6. Hedgcock Fieldhouse (5,000). Head Coach: Glenn Brown (first year). Assistant Coach: Bob Ortegel. Athletic Director: Dr. Rico Zenti. Sports Information Director: Gil Heard. Athletic Trainer: Gil Canale. Con­ ference: Independent (NCAA). Lettermen Lost: Two. Letter- men Returning: Ten. 1967-68 Glenn Brown Record: 16-8. Series Record With Montana: 1-1.

WILDCAT OUTLOOK Northern, in its first year under new head coach Glenn Brown, faces the toughest schedule in NMU cage history. Seven major schools, two non-col- legiate teams, several highly regarded small col­ leges and traditional rivals await the Wildcats this season. To meet the challenge, Brown has 10 let­ termen, including five regulars from last year’s club, and five sophomores who were the last fresh­ men to play varsity basketball at Northern. Brown feels the Wildcats will be able to put a strong start­ ing five on the court, but fears he will lack depth. Junior Ted Rose, senior captain Mike Boyd and sophomore A1 Inkala will probably be the big three up front, with support from sophs Steve Veneklasen and Gerry Gerard. Present plans call for senior veteran Dave Kovack to team at guard with junior Terry King, backed by senior relief man Jeff Climie and two sophs. Northern’s strength in 1968-69 will be an experienced first five, but, with the exception of Rose, the Wildcats lack the big strong rebounders for an outstanding season.

Series Record With Montana: 0-1.

REBEL OUTLOOK The Rebels will have a hard time matching last year’s 22-7 record and a spot in the NCAA College Division Tournament in Evansville, Ind. Gone are three starters who contributed 60 points per game last year and 30 rebounds. The team will still be strong at guard, but will lack depth at forward and center. Leading the guards is Curtis Watson, called by Coach Todd “the best guard on the Coast.” Back­ ing him up will be flashy JC transfers Tommy Wat­ kins from Riverside City College and Eugene Collins from Laney College in Oakland, Calif. Another talented guard is sophomore Jim Arrington who averaged 25 per game last year for the Rebel frosh. Up front the Rebels have two lettermen, one JC transfer and no depth. The center will probably be 6-6 junior Cliff Findlay. At one forward will be Don Lyons, the leading returning scorer with a 13- point average. The other forward will be 6-6 Bruce Chapman, a JC transfer from Orange Coast College.

AZTEC OUTLOOK This will be a rebuilding year for San Diego State, with last year’s five starters all lost through graduation. The 1968-69 Aztecs will be strong in the backcourt, but weak up front. The best of the returnees include Bob Brennan, 6-0 guard; Erick Martensen, 6-7 forward; Ken Neun, 6-5 center, and Herman Hagen, 6-4 forward. Newcomer Von Jacob­ sen, a 6-4, 210-pound forward, could be a pleasant surprise for Coach Ziegenfuss.

Series Record With Montana: First meeting.

SALUKIS OUTLOOK It’s difficult to see how Southern Illinois can be too much improved over last year’s 13-11 record, even though the team will boast several players with lots of game experience. Seven saw lots of action, but they are pretty much the same physi­ cally, and how much improved they are remains to be seen. The team’s major weakness will be lack of adequate size. Team speed and quickness is average, and the shooting is about the same. The Salukis should be strong defensively. The toughest problem may be in coming up with five starters, since there are 10 players of about equal ability. So apparently, bench strength will be the end result.

VANDAL OUTLOOK Coach Wayne Anderson feels that the Vandals will be improved with veterans returning with more experience and several fine sophomore pros­ pects. Jim Thacker, 5-9 guard who was all-con­ ference, returns, and he has excellent help expected from Jerry Smith, 6-8, Steve Brown, 6-6, and Tony Traweek, 6-5, up front, and Phil Waddell, leading conference field goal shooter, at guard. Adrian Prince is an outstanding sophomore who could be a varsity starter.

BULLDOG OUTLOOK Gonzaga’s 1968-69 basketball fortunes depend on an untested but talented group of sophomores— nine of Coach Hank Anderson’s top 15 players will be sophs, as many as three of them starting. Only six lettermen return, including last season’s top scorer and rebounder (15.6 and 10.3) Joe McNair, a 6-4 forward, and team captain Mike McGinley, a sharpshooting guard who averaged 10.7 last year. The Zags figure to be deep at all positions this season, but everything depends on how well the sophomores come through. Anderson hopes they’ll be enough to put Gonzaga back in the Big Sky Conference title picture after a tie for fourth place last season.

BENGAL OUTLOOK If any one sport around Idaho State University athletic circles is a question mark these days it has to be basketball, and young Dan Miller isn’t saying anything at all about his prospects for the 1968-69 season. Why isn’t he? Mainly, it is because he doesn’t know himself at this stage of the game. Miller has to be having nightmares about his future in basketball at Idaho State. The 27-year old hoop boss inherits a hand-me-down squad that is minus four starters through graduation. Gone are the likes of Ron Boone, Ed Wilson, Chuck Parks and Ralph McGee. Now Miller must build some type of squad from a host of sophomores, reserves and junior col­ lege transfers. If that wasn’t enough to shake a guy up, Miller’s frosh coach Jerry Mosser got his draft notice. The second-year head coach is now breaking in a new assistant, Phil DeLaPorte, who was a for­ mer college teammate at Chapman. The best way to sum up the outlook for basketball at Idaho State this season is not to say anything at all. Doing that sort of thing could get a guy into serious trouble.

28 — Weber State College (Jan. 20 at Ogden; Feb. 28-Mar. 1 in Missoula)

GENERAL INFORMATION Location: Ogden, Utah. En­ rollment: 10,000. President: Dr. William P. Miller. Colors: Purple and White. Nickname: Wildcats. Home Arena: Weber State College Gymnasium (5,000). Head Coach: Phil Johnson (First year). Assistant Coach: Gene Visscher. Athletic Director: Dale Gardner. Sports Information Director: Don Spainhower. Athletic Trainer: Ed Garvanian. Conference: Big Sky Athletic Conference Phil Johnson (NCAA). Lettermen Lost: Six. Lettermen Returning: Five. 1967-68 Record: 21-6. Series Record With Montana: 8-5.

WILDCAT OUTLOOK Weber State will defend its third Big Sky Con­ ference title with five returning lettermen, three varsity candidates from the outstanding 14-4 fresh­ man team, one transfer, one redshirt, and a couple of other candidates. Leading scorer Justus Thigpen is back from the Wildcat’s NCAA playoff team, as is fourth best point maker 6-7 Larry Bergh. Best bets for other starting spots are 6-6 forward Gary Strong and 6-3 guard Richard Nielsen, and 6-2 redshirt guard Paul Westbroek. Westbroek and transfer guard Sessions Harlan are strong candidates for starting positions. Best player next year is expected to be frosh sensation Willie Sojourner, a 6-8 leaper from Philadephia, who led the frosh in scoring and rebounding. The Wildcats could be a title contender by mid-season, but Coach Phil Johnson figures that Montana State has the most experience, followed by Gonzaga, Idaho, Weber, Montana, and Idaho State.

GENERAL INFORMATION Location: Bozeman, Montana. Enrollment: 7,000. President: Dr. Leon H. Johnson. Colors: Blue and Gold. Nickname: Bob­ cats. Home Arena: Montana State University Fieldhouse (10,000). Head Coach: Roger Craft (6 years, 75-75). ­ ant Coach: Andy Matson. Athletic Director: Gene Bour- det. Sports Information Direc­ tor: Ken Nicholson. Athletic Trainer: Chuck Karnop. Con­ ference: Big Sky Athletic Con­ ference (NCAA). Lettermen Lost: Two. Lettermen Return- Roger Craft ing: Seven. 1967-68 Record: 10- 15. Series Record With Mon­ tana: 104-77.

BOBCAT OUTLOOK Montana State should be stronger this year, but how much stronger remains to be seen. Hub of the attack will be 6-9 Jack Gillespie, co-player of the year (AP) in the Big Sky loop in 1967-68. Other returning starters are forwards Don Luce and Greg Harris, plus guard Jay Harrington. Leroy Arnold also saw some starting action. The Bobcats will have adequate size and rebounding strength, but again will not have as much speed and quickness as Coach Craft would like. If Arnold and Harring­ ton come through at guard, along with soph Jim Petek, MSU could challenge for top rung in the Big Sky. Top sophs are Petek, 6-7 Dean Kratovil, 6-8 Tex Taylor, and 6-3 Gene Lewis. Sophs aren’t likely to start because of the number of experienced players returning.

GENERAL INFORMATION Location: Seattle, Washington. Enrollment: 32,500. President: Dr. Charles E. Odegaard. Colors: Purple and Gold. Nickname: Huskies. Home Arena: Ed- mundson Pavilion (10,000). Head Coach: Tex Win­ ter (First year). Assistant Coaches: , George Davidson. Athletic Director: Jim Owens. Sports Information Director: John Reid. Athletic Trainer: Bob Peterson. Conference: Pacific Eight (NCAA). Lettermen Lost: Three. Lettermen Re­ turning: Eleven. 1967-68 Record: 12-14. Series Record With Montana: 33-3.

HUSKY OUTLOOK The University of Washington has inherited a new basketball coach, and with him, it is hoped, a new era in its basketball history. has himself inherited something—a sound and talented basketball team. The Huskies won only 12 of 26 games last season, but did so with a starting lineup of four sophomores and one senior. The soph starters all return, along with some very capable reserves and outstanding newcomers. The top re­ turnee and one of the brightest young stars to wear a Husky uniform is George Irvine. The 6-5% junior was second in scoring last year. The nucleus for a contending ballclub is available, despite one dis­ turbing fact: the Pacific Eight Conference may be the outstanding loop in the country, and a good, strong ballclub competing in this league could wind up just about anywhere in the standings.

Lettermen Returning: Eight. 1967-68 Rec­ ord: 16-9. Series Record With Montana: 2-2.

VIKING OUTLOOK Head Coach Marion Pericin looks for a winning season in basketball. The team must adapt, for playing for Pericin is like wearing a straw hat in a whirlwind. His go-go fast break style and 19-9, 16-9 seasons have won the hearts of basketball followers in Portland and Northwest Oregon. The Vikings lost floor leader Hal Dohling who was the heart of the team the past two seasons. This year’s Viking team will be built around returning wingmen Randy Blackford, Tom Brown, Larry Franz, Boris Pesa, Don Suloff and guards Ed Gorman, John Mandic and Glen McClendon. The Vikings will boast more than adequate size.
