A fine young backfield to replace three missing 1971 starters, very capable ends, and a personnel shift to fill in a graduation-depleted of­ fensive interior tells the story for the 1972 Grizzly offense. Summarizing the defense, one must say that an experienced defen­ sive line and an outstanding linebacker corps offset some doubts about the secondary. First the offense. Cliff Burnett and Jim Hann, split ends in 1971, have been shifted into the offensive line. Hann will start at right tackle and Burnett will vie with two year veteran Ron Richards for the left guard slot. At left tackle will be junior Doug Cleveland and small, but quick and strong, Kit Blue will take over at center. Bright spot of the line is holdover Barry Darrow, a 6-7, 255 pound All-American candidate. Sophomore Jerry Cooley will be the backup center and 252 pound Ted Solomon will provide tackle depth. At tight end are two exceptional athletes. Senior Tom Bod well and sophomore Duane Walker have taken over. Bodwell will start. The wide receiver will be returnee Glen Welch. Welch, a high school sprinter, will be backed by Steve Carlson and transfer Kurt Dedric. Dedric also punts. Record setting rusher Steve Caputo, blocking back Casey Reilly and quarterback Gary Berding are gone from the 1971 backfield that ranked fourth nationally in rushing, but the Montana coaching staff has confidence that the 1972 group will be, at least, faster and potentially better. Sophomore Rock Svennugsen appears to have emerged from a three-way battle with 1971 backup Jay Baumberger and transfer Tim Babish as the starting field general. All three quarterbacks run the option well and have the ability to throw the pigskin. Fullbacks Jeff Hoffmann and Buddy Walsh shared the job last year and most likely will again in 1972. The two combined to rush for 1024 yards last season. Steady Dave Manovich and shifty Sparky Kottke are experienced and will probably be the starting halfbacks for the season opener against South Dakota. Sprinter Jim Olson is the number one candidate to move in on them. Other key support will come from fullback Jim Kautz, and capable halfbacks Dave Eggebrecht, John Stark and Bill Conrad. Tackles Gary Swearingen and Rick Anderson return in the defensive line as does end Leo Laroche. They will be joined by end Marc Kouz- manoff. All should have benefitted from the experience they gained in 1971. Tackle Jim Leid and end Steve Taylor will be the number one backups. Swearingen and LaRoche are the only seniors. Montana opponents will face an imposing linebacker corps in the likes of Curt Donner, Rick Dodds and Ron Rosenberg. The quality of the secondary is in doubt, but three transfers may quiet these suspicions. Cornerback Terry Reynolds proved to be Mon­ tana’s best defensive back in spring drills. Free safety Mick Dennehy had six interceptions in 1971. Transfer Dean Evans earned a starting strong safety slot in the spring session. Rob Stark is not far behind. Transfers Dave Harrington and Steve Starkey will report this fall. Har­ rington is assured a starting berth. Coach Jack Swarthout

Jack Swarthout, who came to the Univer­ sity of Montana to double as athletic direc­ tor and head football coach in 1967, has given Montana four winning seasons in his five years at the helm of his alma mater and has compiled a 35-17 record. Of all coaches with more than one season of coaching Grizzly gridiron teams—since the beginning of the sport on the Missoula cam­ pus in 1897—Sw arthout ranks second w ith his career winning percentage of .673. Only Roy White’s .778 figure, based on a 7-2-2 record achieved during the 1908 and 1909 seasons, is better. Montana fans had suffered through 17 seasons without a winning record before Swarthout took a surprising 1967 squad to a 7-3 record in his first season as a head coach. It was Montana’s best season since the 7-1 1937 team and the first winning record since the 5-4 1949 team. Jack Swarthout 1968 was a major disappointment as the Grizzlies dipped to a 2-7 season. But 1969 erased the memory of 1968 as Swarthout guided the Grizzlies to a perfect 10-0 season and a subsequent bid to play in the Camellia Bowl. Mon­ tana lost to North Dakota State that year and again in 1970 when UM again rolled over ten straight opponents and drew a return bid to the Camellia Bowl. Last year two season ending losses to Hawaii and Port­ land State left Montana with a 6-5 record. Swarthout received the AP and UPI Big Sky Coach of the Year aw ards in 1969 and 1970 and was UPI Co-Coach of the Year in 1967. Montana’s 1967 team ranked in the top 20 of the AP and UPI College Division Polls and the 1969 and 1970 teams were ranked in the top three. Swarthout was born in Prosser, Wash., on Feb. 23, 1920, and lettered in football, basketball and baseball in high school. He attended the University of Montana, earning a B.A. in political science in 1942, and was a starting end for the 1941 Grizzly team. He also was a member of the 1939 and 1940 teams as a quarterback and halfback. After serving four years in the Army, Swarthout was an assistant at Montana in 1946, then coached Hoquiam High School in Washington from 1947 to 1956. In 1956 he became an assistant to D arrel Royal at the University of Washington and then went with Royal to the Univer­ sity of Texas for the 1957 and 1958 seasons. From 1959 until coming to UM in 1967 he coached Olympia High School in Washington to a 50-14-2 record. Bill Betcher

Bill Betcher joined the Montana staff in 1967. His duties at M ontana include coach­ ing of the offensive line and the defensive interior. Betcher was born in Woodland, Wash., on February 16, 1939, and attended Wash- ougal High School where he was a four sport letterman. After high school he at­ tended the University of Oregon, where he earned a letter in freshman football, for a year and then transferred to Eastern Wash­ ington State College. As a tackle for EWSC Betcher earned Little All-America honors in 1961. He received his B.A. in physical education from EWSC in 1963 and coached Castle Rock High School in Washington to a three year record of 22-5. In 1966 he served as line coach at his alma mater. Bill Betcher

Ron Nord

Ron Nord became a member of the UM football staff in March of 1968 after six years as head basketball coach at Montana. His football duties for Montana are coach­ ing the defensive secondary and offensive ends. He is head scout for UM. Nord was born in Minneapolis on March 10, 1926. He graduated from the U niversity of Wisconsin in 1950 with a B.S. in Physical Education-History. At Wisconsin he letter­ ed in basketball and baseball. Before en­ rolling at Wisconsin he served in the U.S. Air Force. Nord coached football at Beaver Dam and Oshkosh high schools in Wisconsin after receiving his degree, then spent three years as football scout, recruiter and assis­ tant basketball coach at his alma mater before coming to Montana. Ron Nord A son, Jeff, is a member of the UM golf team and another son, Mark, was a starting guard for the UM freshman basketball team last year.

— 4 — Charley Armey

Charley Armey came to the University of Montana staff in February of 1970 fol­ lowing a successful, 4-3-1, one year stint as head coach of Montana Tech. At Mon­ tana Armey is responsible for coaching the offensive backfield and the linebacker corps. Born July 16, 1939, in Cando, North Dakota, Armey attended Valley City Col­ lege in Valley City, N.D., and earned three football letters. Upon earning his B.S. in 1966 he coached M innesota high school teams in 1966 and 1967 to respective 6-3 and 5-2-2 seasons. In 1968 Armey was an assistant coach at North Dakota State Uni­ versity and earned his M.S. from NDSU in 1969. He has served four years in the U.S. Navy. Charley Armey

Naseby Rhinehart

Naseby Rhinehart has been athletic train­ er for the University of Montana since his graduation from UM in 1935. He was an outstanding athlete for the Grizzlies, earn­ ing nine varsity letters, and received hon­ orable mention All-American honors as an end in football. He received the coveted Grizzly Cup in 1936, was the recipient of the Ray T. Rocene Sportsman of the Year aw ard in 1960, and in 1967 was nam ed to the Helms Athletic Foundation Hall of Fame. Rhinehart was born May 6, 1911, in Cordeal, Ga., and starred for Lincoln High School, Milwaukee, Wis., in football, bas­ ketball and track. Two sons have competed in varsity athletics at Montana, Naseby Jr (winner of the Grizzly Cup in 1957) and Sidney. Naseby Rhinehart

— 5 — President Robert T. Pantzer Robert T. Pantzer brings to the presiden­ cy of the University of Montana a diversi­ fied background in law, education, business and the military. He was appointed the 12th president of the Missoula unit on December 16, 1966, previously holding positions of acting presi­ dent (August 15 to December 15, 1966) and financial vice president of the University and professor of business administration, both since 1957. Following groduation from the UM Law School with a Juris Doctor degree in 1947, he served as county attorney of Liberty County until 1950. He was Park County at­ torney from 1951 to 1955 and city attorney in Livingston until accepting the UM post in 1957. He also conducted a private law practice for 10 years in Chester and Liv- President Pantzer ingston.

A winter’s day walk past Main Hall.

It would be difficult to find aschool that fit in with its environment better than the University of Montana does. Literally surrounded by the Rocky Mountains, the 79-year-old school has a mellow robustness about it that attracts people from all over the country who want a close­ ness to nature to be part of their higher education. With only about 9,000 students entering this fall, UM is still a very small university by national standards and it is typical of sparsely-set tied Montana in that respect. Missoula, a quiet logging and agricultural tow n of about 30,000, is the school’s home. UM offers 56 degrees in the bachelor of arts or sciences program, 68 masters degrees, 12 doctor of philosophy degrees and two doctor of education degrees. The University features seven professional schools— business administration, fine arts, journalism, education, forestry, law and pharmacy. UM’s land holdings are extensive and amount to about three acres for each student. The campus itself spreads over 201 acres on the east side of Missoula at the base of Mount Sentinel, of which UM owns 624 acres. A few blocks south of the main campus is a 154-acre site with 394 married student housing units and a nine-hole golf course. Ap­ proximately six miles southwest of campus is Fort Missoula where the University owns 295 acres. Two major sites are located outside Missoula —the 27,000 acre Lubrecht Experimental Forest 35 miles northeast of Missoula and 168 acres on Flathead Lake, including a biological station. In addition to all the private land holdings, the University is sur­ rounded by thousands of acres of U.S. Forest Service land open to camp­ ers and hikers. A student could begin hiking into the mountains near the campus and not see civilization again for days. Roster NAME POS. HTo WT. CLASS HOMETOWN Anderson, Rick DT 6-1 235 J r . Lacey, Wash.

Tom Engleman will be in his fourth season as the Coyote’s quarterback. Leading rusher Gregg Erickson and other Coyote running backs should benefit from a year of experience with the Wishbone offense. Defen­ sively the line is gone but John Sanders, an All-American candidate, returns as a defensive back and kick returner. Sanders returned a punt 85 yards against Montana last year.

Ten starters from the 1971 offensive team return, but several appeared to have lost their starting berths in spring drills to newcomers. Running back Mike Deutsch, quarterback Jay Gustafson and flanker Ron Gustafson head up the attack. On de­ fense seven starters return and the four emptied spots have been filled.

Walt Mannon, an all-conference basketball selection, is an ex­ cellent receiver. He had 20 catches last year. Vince Creviston, a vet­ eran, was the starter at quarterback in spring drills, but will be pressed to keep the job. Bud Kane, a transfer from Riverside JC (Calif.) and twice all-league there, will press Creviston. All Big Sky honorable mention tackle Tom Ramsey is the mainstay of the defensive line which returns intact from 1971.

Ken Marshall had 38 catches in 1971 and is the top receiver. Safety Pete Carroll ranked nationally in 1971 with eight interceptions. The defensive line is big and solid with the likes of 6-4, 245 pound Larry Bailey. Pacific must survive three season-opening road trips against Washington, Louisiana State and Texas-El Paso to have a successful season. — 21 — GAME FIVE—WEBER STATE COLLEGE OCT. 7 AT MISSOULA, 1:30 MDT Location: Ogden, Utah Colors: Purple and White Enrollm ent: 9,500 Stadium: Wildcat (17,000) Conference: Big Sky 1971 Record: 7-2-1 Coach: Sark Arslanian Series Record: UM 7, WSC 3 Coach’s Record: 45-21-2 Lettermen Lost: 18 SID: Don Spainhower (801) Lettermen Returning: 25 394-8341 1971 Score: UM 14, WSC 13 Nickname: Wildcats, Cats 1972 SCHEDULE Sept. 23 Idaho Oct. 28 Nevada-Las Vegas Sept. 30 at Boise State Nov. 4 Idaho State Oct. 7 at Montana Nov. 11 Northern Michigan Oct. 14 Montana State Nov. 18 at New Mexico Oct. 21 at Northern Arizona Highlands Nov. 23 at Utah State OUTLOOK—Weber State’s wishbone offense ranked third in the nation in rushing last year, and the entire 1971 starting backfield returns for 1972. Quarterback John Edwards and running backs A1 Butler (727 yds.), Rick Bojak (571 yds) and Terry Bulych (569 yds.) will give op­ posing defenses fits in 1972. Depth will be a problem for the Wildcats and with the exception of two 260 pound guards the lineman are small, but quick. Only three defensive starters are back and the Cats must develop rapidly in that area to be contenders in the Big Sky.

Defensively the line will average 235 pounds. The Bengals will lack depth, but, barring injuries, new coach Bob Griffin feels they will be in the thick of the conference race.

Hawaii boasts good size (several linemen over 250 pounds), fine speed and three able quarterbacks, Elroy Chong, formerly with Montana, Mike Biscotti and red-shirt Tim Feigh. Jim Stone, as third team All- American end, anchors a strong defense. Hawaii will face Rose Bowl winner Stanford and Liberty Bowl winner Tennessee during 1972.
