Promising Newcomers: End Dennis Olson, tackles Steve Indahl and Mel Boehland; guards Tom Felix and Don Gulseth; center Dale Neppel; halfbacks Duane Domack, Dave Osborn, Dick Riedberger, and Dick Wozney, and fullbacks Earl Edgar and Roger Sundahl. 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. Series began: 19lb, with the University of North Dakota winning 2 and Montana State University winning 6.

Head Coach: John Ralston (California, *51) Assistants: Tony Knap (Idaho, 139)> Ralph Maughan (Utah State, *^8 ); Frank Williams (Utah State, *48), and Carl Woodworth (Oklahoma, *56). Athletic Director: H. B. Hunsaker School Colors: Navy blue and white Nicknames: Aggies Enrollment: 5,800 President: Dr. Daryl Chase Faculty Athletic Representative: Vernon Israelsen Sports Information Director: Karl W. Klages Lettermen Returning: (2 3) -- Ends Roger Foulk, Jim McNaughton, and Paul Mortensen; tackles Lionel Aldridge, Max Miller, Dan Noecker, and Alan Nelson; guards Steve Cohen, Jim Smith, Dick Ogden, Frank Costello and Klair Jeppesen; centers Randall £yson and Skip Husbands; quarterbacks Jim Turner, Bill Munson, and Steve Shafer; halfbacks Terry Cagaanan, Larry Bryan, and Roger Leonard, and fullbacks Ray Howard, Charles Claybaugh, and Bill Mattson. Losses: (9 ) — Ends Bill Dahme and Carl Hunt; tackles Merlin Olsen, Clyde Brock, and Clark Miller; guards Bill Dickey and Willie Redmond; quarterback Mel Montalbo, and halfback Tom Marscheid. 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. Series began: 1904, with Utah State winning 19, Montana State University 8 .

Nov. 10 University of Wyoming Logan, Utah Nov. 17 University of Utah Salt Lake City, Utah GAME NUMBER FOUR (HOMECOMING). University of Idaho vs Montana State University at Missoula, Oct. 6, 1962. Head Coach: Dee G. Andros (Oklahoma, f50) Assistants: Dick Monroe (Kansas, *49); Steve Musseau (LSU, *51); John Easterbrook (Illinois, *6l), and Edward (Bud) Riley (Idaho, *52). Athletic Director: J. Neil (Skip) Stanley School Colors: Silver and Gold Nicknames: Vandals Enrollment: 4,255 President: Dr. Donald R. Theophilus Faculty Athletic Representative: Ernest Wohletz, Dean of the College of Forestry Sports Information Director: Tom Hartley Lettermen Returning: (l8 )--Ends Alex Klidzjes and Larry Stachler; guards Don Matthews, Mike Baumann, Denny Almquist, and Darwin Doss; tackles Ellery Brown, Jim Moran, Joe Cramer, and Tom Nelson; centers John Siath and Bob Ames; quarterbacks Gary Miles and Gary Gagnon; halfbacks Ron Kulm and Bob Johnson, and fullbacks Mike Jordan and Galen Rodgers. 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.
