PROSPECTUS BY DEPARTMENTS
Backfield: Quarterbacks and fullbacks should be adequate, but all halfbacks except three non-lettering squadmen from last fall have no experience as varsity performers.
Line: The Sioux have untried sophomores at center, and two injured lettering senior tackles still on the doubtful list. Ends and guards should be okay. Injuries cannot be afforded at any line position.
Overall Outlook: Success depends on development at halfbacks, centers, and tackles among sophomore crew. This is a question-mark year. If things turn right, the Sioux will be tough.

Promising Newcomers: Tackle Bill Williamson, guard Veran Smith; halfbacks Darrell Roberts and Bob Umemura, and fullback Larry Campbell.
OVERALL OUTLOOK:
Center Randall Tyson, All-Skyline end Lionel Aldridge and fullback Ray Harward are the only returning starters off the 1961 team which finished 9-0 -1 in scheduled play. But there are 23 letterman in fold, including six players from the *6l second unit and the entire third unit. Aldridge has been moved to tackle leaving the terminals to probable starters Roger Foulk and Jim McNaughton. Both played second unit as sophs. Squad member Bill Basas looks most logical at left tackle and a fine set of guards in lettermen Jim Smith and Steve Cohen take up a lot of slack. Probable starting backfield is a pick from quarterbacks Jim Turner, Steve Shafer and Bill Munson. Larry Bryan and Darrell Roberts lead a strong group of left halfs and Terry Cagaanan and Roger Leonard the right halfbacks. Letterman Charles Claybaugh tops the defenders at fullback and is pushing Harward and transfer Larry Campbell on the offensive role. Outstanding transfers are Campbell, 220-pound sophomore, and halfback Dick Austin, 200-pound junior. Nine outstanding sophomores include guards Rollie Gobi and Veran Smith, center Jim Bowen, halfback Bob Umemura and fullback Bill Callahan.
In the line, the position where Utah State was strongest in 1961, its tackles, ■
this season will be the weakest spot on the squad. From an experience standpoint, Utah State will have to play with mediocre tackles. But every other position has been supported and the switch in strength to guards and ends will call for depth which Utah State appears to have. Center has three tested and three willing.
Aggie backfield talent is more than adequate despite the loss of All-American Tom Larscheid. There is more power and size to pack the ball. The holes may not be as big as a year ago, but the momentum will blast some, and the famed Aggie sweeps will cause plenty of defensive grief. Quarterbacking heads are experienced from an 18-1 -1 record over the past two schedules.

Losses: (l4)--Ends Reg Carolan, Bill Hill, and Bill White; tackles Zeke Urko, Dave Putnam, and John Desmond; guards John Nilsson and Dick Monahan; center Jim Decko; quarterbacks Mike Mosolf and Rick Dobbins; halfbacks Dick Money and Gene Bates, and fullback Gary Spray.
Promising Newcomers: Ends Vern Leyde, Ed Monahan, Darrell Rich and Bob Hammond; tackles Max Leetzow and John Derne; guards Harry Allison, Frank Dunbar and Jim Strong; quarterback Mike Whiles and halfbacks Rich Naccarato, Mickey Rice, Joe Chapman, and Clarence Kleber.
PROSPECTUS BY DEPARTMENTS:
Backfield: Two of the toughest fullbacks around, Mike Jordan and Galen Rodgers, give strength and depth to a backfield composed of sophomore halfbacks and one-year lettermen quarterbacks. Good speed and abundance of young performers to go with veterans Ron Kulm and Bob Johnson brighten the halfback picture. Gary Mires and Gary Gagnon are both adept quarterbacks with rookie Mike Whiles slated for a season of schooling on defense. If the line gets the job done, this backfield can roll.
Line: Tackle and right end are the two problems facing the Idaho line coaching staff. Replacements for three-year letterman split end Reg Carolan were standing in line, but the tight end spot has been hard to fill. Finally Tom Nelson, who held the job in *6l, had to be moved to the tackle spot and the sophomores took over. Guards are strong and deep with four junior lettermen on hand and a couple of tough sophomores pushing for positions. Centers are adequate. Overall Outlook: If the better depth that new coach Dee Andros has attracted happens to have any talent, and the same fighting spirit prevails that has marked Idaho football since last fall, Idaho could win its share this season. Gone from the slate are the big inter sectionals and the host of bowl teams that the Vandals have played the past few seasons. In place of them, however, are homecoming grudge battles with Montana and Montana State, the first battle with Idaho State and some two toughies against Utah and Utah State. The Vandals will have to play inspired football to break the .500 mark this season.

OVERALL OUTLOOK: Coach Hal Mitchell has said he could use more help in every position but there are one or two spots that will need additional strength to be adequate. Fullback and center are a bit thin in the overall view, and the end should be stronger than in 1961. The interior line positions should be about the same.

Promising Newcomers: Guards Jerry Ennis and Royce Leavell; tackle John Miller; and halfbacks Billy Shaw and Terry Johns ton.
PROSPECTUS BY DEPARTMENTS:
Backfield: The backfield looks potentially strong, depending on the strength of fullback Bill Jenckfs knee. Good speed is at the halfback spots and experience is strong all the way around. The Bengals will be a top passing threat, too, with veteran quarterback Bill Loehr on hand.
Line: The line will be thin at some spots, notably end and center. However, the interior line should be good, led by returning regulars Gary Iazawa and Jerry Carothers at guards. Iazawa was honorable mention All-American as a sophomore in '6l.
Overall Outlook: The overall outlook is more promising than in 1961, but the schedule is much tougher. If the team doesn*t get hit hard by early injuries, it could improve into a good ball club. There are only three returning regulars, however, so there will be many new faces on the Bengal team.

Promising Newcomers--End Gary Decolati; guards Joe Sutey and Tom Wing; centers Dick Hueth and Dave Kenworthy, and fullbacks Joe Nicholson and Dave Miller.
PROSPECTUS BY DEPARTMENTS:
Backfield: Montana State will have more speed, but less size in the backfield. Ken Christison and Bill Mulcahy give the club a good one-two quarterback punch and Bucky May returns as a starter at fullback. The Bobcats have four speedy halfbacks--Russ Powers, Gary Alley, Steve Good and Will Fennal--but they all lack experience and size. Much of the success of the club will depend on how well the halfbacks fill in for graduated Jack Cameron and Jerry Johnson.
Line: Coach Herb Agoc's major concern is the interior line, which must be completely rebuilt. Gone are both tackles, both guards and the center. However, the Cats may mold a solid unit from these men: tackles Curt Farrier, 230 Joe Tiller, 230, and Fred Turner, 215; guards John Munk, 205 and Howie Ross, 200, and center Gary Giannini, 252. The club returns four good ends: Bill Cords, Gordie Schlabs, Jim Ratchye and Archie Warwick. Overall Outlook: Montana State could be improved in *62 and still not better last yearfs k-3-1 record. The Bobcats have lost 12 key lettermen, 10 of whom started in the final game of the f6l season. The schedule is the toughest in the school's history, with the addition of Utah State, Idaho, Wichita, and Arizona State.

Promising Newcomers: Ends Ken Cole and Duane Erickson; tackles Wayne Tvrdik and Jack Abendschan; guard Glen Troublefield; quarterbacks Orvey Hampton and Steve Malnar, and halfbacks Bucky Stallings, Joe Harris, and Claude Ward.
PROSPECTUS BY DEPARTMENTS:
Backfield: The Lobos have solid depth in halfbacks, headed by All-American candidate Bobby Santiago. The team is shallow at fullback, however, where last year's starter Gary Ness is only letterman returnee. The quarterback spot is well manned by veteran Jim Cromartie, backed by excellent sophomore prospects Steve Malnar and Orvey Hampton.
Line: Depth problems exist at guard and center. Guard is lack of size, center is lack of experience. However, one of the best football players in the nation, Bob Bouyer, will start at the guard position. Matching him on the other side is the problem. There is good experience at tackle, though more size could be wished for. End has three good lettermen returning and there are good transfer and sophomore prospects. Overall Outlook: New Mexico may have one of its better teams in recent history if depth problems are solved. But toughness of the schedule may not allow much improvement in the won-lost record. The Lobos will have adequate, but not blazing, team speed, fair to good size, and experience at least two deep at all but two positions. However, good newcomers could alleviate the depth problem. Schedule, especially on the road, is tough enough to already have the UNM coaches calling for supreme efforts every week.

Promising Newcomers: Ends Tom Sperl and John Swanson; tackle Tom Hinton; centers Stan Graff, Bob Nunnery, and Allen Rohde; quarterback John Christensen, and halfbacks Stan Watkins and Roy Fraser.
PROSPECTUS BY DEPARTMENTS:
Backfield: The Rams have a good breakaway threat in speedy Ken Cullars. But otherwise the backfield will lack speed. Quarterbacking will be inexperienced, since top two candidates, Bill Wrenn and John Christensen, have been moved from fullback and halfback, respectively. However, they should give the team better quarterbacking than it has had in last several years. Veteran Ish Ransaw is outstanding fullback.
Line: The line is well in depth, but first unit should be capable. Anchor man on the line will be guard John Cook, tackles Doug York and Curtis Threatt and end John Nelson, all knowledgeable and tough veterans. Overall Outlook: The Rams, under dynamic new coach Mike Lude, a winged-T disciple, should be an improved, highly-competitive club in 1962. But CSU doesn’t have the manpower to be a leading team in the region. Lude and the Aggies really have their work cut out for them, having to meet the toughest schedule in the school’s history. Included on the card are games with six tough teams from the old Skyline Conference, plus UCLA’s Rose Bowlers, another west coast power Oregon State, Arizona State, perennial toughie in the southwest, and the Air Force Academy.

Track coach Harry Adams and his cross-country team have two meets scheduled
thus far this fall with Montana State College.
On September 27 or 28 the six-man team will compete against the Bobcats at
Bozeman for the first outing of the season. Then on Nov. 10, the day of the
Montana-Montana State football game at Missoula, the Grizzlies will have their second competition with the Aggies. Adams said there is a possibility of a third match sometime in early November.
The cross-country sport never gets into full swing at Montana State University because of a late start in mid-September and the usually chilly Montana weather that prevents workouts in November. Fans will recall that last year’s MSU-MSC cross-country meets, at Missoula and Bozeman, were run on snow-covered courses.
This dilemma made competition slow and hazardous.
Nevertheless, the Silvertip team will have an excellent chance to come up with a couple of victories against Montana State. In all fields of athletic endeavor against the Bobcats, it’s anyone's guess who may actually come away the victor.
The MSC team, under its new track coach Ralph Steben, will certainly not be giving points to the Grizzlies.
Coach Adams said the loss of MSU’s famed mile and cross country man, Gary
Wojtowick, who graduated last spring, will hurt the team considerably. Wojtowick was largely responsible for helping the University win over the Bobcats twice last year.
Even with the loss of Wojtowich plenty of cross-country talent still abounds at the University. Glynn DeVries, Conrad, Mont.; Phil Dwight, Great Falls; Marv
Miller, Bozeman, are all senior lettermen. These, with Larry Jakub, a junior from Missoula, will make up the nucleus of the team. All are expected to perform well, especially DeVries, who came in second in last fall's two dual meets, and Dwight who tied for second once. Two sophomores are also added this year to give the team reserve strength.
Martin Ueland, Silver Bow, Mont., and LaFay Hope, Tamaqua, Pa., performed well on last spring's track team and will be valuable additions this fall.

A "murderous schedule" are words head basketball coach Ron Nord used to describe the coining 1962-63 Montana State University basketball schedule, when he arrived from the University of Wisconsin to take up his duties at MSU.
The Grizzly team will compete against several nationally known and regional basketball powers and meet several other schools it hasn't played in several years.
The Silvertips will also see action against new schools.
Starting the season against powerful Kansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma State
University, the MSU squad will then take on such teams as North Dakota, Washington
State, and Idaho. Later on in the season the Grizzlies will be pitted against new competitors Macalester, University of Seattle, Weber, Air Force Academy and Orange
State College.
Games are also scheduled with some former Skyline opponents; four contests will see old rivals, Grizzlies and Bobcats, battle each other, and at least 7 or 8 freshman meetings with nearby schools are planned for the first time in many years.
In contrast with the familar ball-control type of play, Coach Ron Nord is expected to introduce a fast-breaking game with lots of running.
The former University of Wisconsin assistant coach will have at least six veterans returning to the MSU Field House hardwoods this winter, and a bevy of eager sophomores, fighting for starting positions, will round out a fairly substantial team.
Senior 6*7" Steve Lowry, from Red Lodge, Mont., will probably hold down the pivot spot again this season as he has done for the past two seasons. However, Lowry is in doubt as to eligibility. Veteran junior forwards Keith Law, from Bourbonnais,
111., and Harold Fullerton, from Ronan, Mont., both 6'V' saw considerable action last season and may start at the forward slots. Speedy and deceptive 5*9" Ray
Lucien, Baton Rouge, La., and capable 6'1" junior Tim Aldrich, Missoula, Mont., are almost sure starters at guard. Aldrich, however, may play combination forward and guard. Any number of sophomores may push the veterans for starting positions, however.
Among those who may see some starting play at center are 6f6,f Pete Rasmussen, hailing
from Davenport, Iowa, and 6'7,f Rocky Greenfield, from Frenchtown, Mont.
At forward 6'k” Francis Ricci, from Livingston, Mont., who was second in freshman scoring last season, 6 f5” Bill Rice, from Chadron, Neb., and 6'b" Bruce Denison, from Missoula, Mont., may get an opportunity for varsity action.
Jay Sumner, 5f9" guard, from Livingston, Mont., the highest scorer on the freshman team last season, will surely provide a great deal of depth at guard.
