The man with the brains behind the MSU athletic organization is Dr. Walter

(Wally) Schwank, MSU director of health, physical education and athletics.

Wally took over the athletic director duties July 1, I96I following the resignation of George (Jiggs) Dahlberg. In the interval, he has reshaped the athletic and physical education departments into smoothly-running machines.

Schwank was graduated cum laude from Coe College, Iowa, in 1934, and received his

M. A. and Ph. D degrees rrom the University of Iowa in 19^5 and 1955* Coaching for some

16 years in five Iowa high schools, Schwank began coaching freshman football and teaching physical education classes in 1950 at the University of Iowa.

Returning to his alma mater, Coe College, he served four and one-half years as athletic director and head football coach. His football teams compiled a 2 5 -7 record in four years, won two conference championships and posted an unbeaten record in 1959-

Following a year as athletic director at South Dakota State College, Schwank came to the big sky country of Montana, a section of the nation he had long admired.

Active in national physical education organizations and community affairs, Schwank has had a busy year working out plans for expanding Grizzly booster groups, scheduling future games with Grizzly opponents, and working out proposals for new affiliation by

Montana State University.

RAY JENKINS, HEAD FOOTBALL COACH

Ray (Earthquake) Jenkins begins his fifth campaign at the Grizzly grid helm this fall.

The head coach, a former farm boy from southeastern Colorado, is a three-letterman in varsity sports for the University of Colorado. He was selected all-conference fullback two years, was conference wrestling champ and won first place in the discus throw two years in conference track meets. Jenkins received his bachelorTs degree from Colorado in 1942 and a masterTs degree from the same institution in 195*+•

While at Colorado, Jenkins played his freshman and sophomore years under Bernard F. (Bunny) Oakes, who had been Grizzly football coach from 1931-3*+--a jot that Jenkins

was to inherit later.

After graduation from Colorado in 1942, Jenkins entered the service and was head

wrestling coach at San Diego Naval Training Station and won the 11th Naval District Team

wrestling crown. Later he coached one of the Farragut Naval Training Station teams to

a base football championship. He also served 13 months as a torpedo boat commander in

the South Pacific.

Jenkins became line coach, head wrestling coach and track coach and trainer for all

sports at the Colorado School of Mines in 1946. In 1948 he moved to the University of

Colorado as freshman football coach and head wrestling coach.

At Colorado Jenkin*s frosh teams had outstanding success for six years, and in

1954 he was elevated to end coach. Under his tutelage Colorado produced three All-Big

Seven Conference ends.

In 1958 Jenkins came to Montana State University as head football coach, replacing

coach Jerry Williams who had coached University grid teams since 1955*

During the past four years, the head MSU coach has gained himself a reputation throughout Montana as an astute coach who studies the game with devotion, a good recruiter, an excellent handler of men, and an amiable, friendly person.

Although Jenkins* win-loss record at Montana is not an exceptional one, he chalked up a 5-5 record in i960, the best mark that the University has achieved in football since

1950 when coach also had a 5-5 record.

HUGH DAVIDSON, BACKFIELD COACH

Hugh (Little Professor) Davidson, backfield coach for the Grizzlies, is nationally recognized for his ability to teach pass defense.

Davidson came to Montana State University in 1958; the first man to be appointed by Hay Jenkins to serve on his football staff, and like Jenkins, this will be Davidson*s fifth season at the University. The backfield coach is a former fullback for the University of Colorado where he

played during the 19*+9; 50, and 51 seasons. Weighing only 163 pounds at the time,

Davidson was short on poundage but heavy on desire and spark and is well remembered at

the Colorado institution. His quick move into the collegiate coaching ranks is a

testimonial to his drive and ability.

After graduation from Colorado in 1952, he became head football coach at Osborn,

Kansas, High School. In two years his teams won l6, lost 1 and tied 1 and were conference

champions both seasons.

In 1954 Davidson moved directly from Osborn back to Colorado University where he

coached freshman grid ball for four years before coming to Montana State University.

Besides his football coaching duties, Davidson is also freshman basketball coach.

Davidson is a native of Grant, Nebraska, and is a Navy veteran with two years' service in the See bees from 1946 to 19**8; the year he entered Colorado.

MILT SCHWENK3 LINE COACH

Milt (Philosopher) Schwenk, line coach, begins his third season coaching the hefty beef on the Grizzly line.

Schwenk, a native of Sunnyvale, Washington, graduated from Washington State College in 195*+- He starred as a tackle for the Washington State Cougars in 1951; 52 and 5 3.

After receiving his degree, he coached one year at Colville, Washington, High School. He then entered the U* S. Air Force, and during his tour of duty was the line coach and head coach for the Hamilton Air Force football squad in California. At Hamilton, he was also a coaching mate of former MSU end coach Don Branby.

Following his discharge from the service, Schwenk took over the football and baseball coaching duties at Wenatchee Junior College for the 1958 and 59 seasons.

Schwenk also coaches the Montana State University baseball team.

ED CHINSKE, FRESHMAN COACH

Ed Chinske is again head freshman football coach this fall. An experienced man at the rough grid sport, Ed is a former Grizzly who played

fullback and quarterback from 1926-28 for the University and starred along with many

"Grizzly Greats". His senior year he was captain of the team, and in 1929 He coached

the freshman team. During his college career, he also won two letters in baseball, as a shortstop, and three letters in basketball, as a forward. Chinske also has the distinction of winning the first University letter in golf.

After graduation in 1930; Chinske coached highly successful high school championship teams at Miles City and Missoula. In 1946 he returned to his alma mater as head baseball coach and freshman football and basketball coach.

Chinske revived baseball at the University, after the sport had been dormant for some 20 years. His teams won 60 and lost 56. Prior to that, Chinske had played summer baseball for many years, last with Missoula in the Montana State League, and was captain of the team that won the 1937 pennant in that circuit.

He had only one losing season in basketball in six years and produced Grizzly

Cub football teams that won 13 and lost 3*

In 1952 Chinske took over as head football coach at the University when Ted Shipkey resigned as coach. He held this position for three seasons. His teams in 1952 established several national football records. The Denver Post selected Chinske as Skyline Coach of the Year in 1953*

After the 1954 season, Chinske left the head football coaching post and was appointed

University golf coach, a position he has held ever since. An amateur golfer himself,

Chinske is well known in Montana golf circles and has consistently placed high in golf tournaments around Montana.

Since 1954, Chinske has had many other duties in the MSU Health and Physical Education

Department, including the job of intermural sports director.

BART THIEL, ASSISTANT FRESHMAN COACH

A new face in the MSU Athletic Department this fall is that of Bart Thiel who will be helping Ed Chinske as assistant freshman coach. Thiel was graduated from Coe College last spring majoring in health and physical education. He has been selected as a graduate assistant in the MSU Health and Physical

Education Department. He will probably be coaching freshman baseball next spring or assisting with spring varsity football, as well as coaching freshman football.

A native of Elkader, Iowa, Thiel was graduated from high school there in 1958* He played all four major high school sports. At Coe, Thiel earned six letters, three in football and three in baseball, and is considered one of the best fullbacks produced in

Iowa in recent years.

NASEBY RHINEHART, TRAINER

Now beginning his 2bth season as the "tape and linament" specialist for Montana

State University, Nase Rhinehart needs no introduction to sports enthusiasts of the

Rocky Mountain area.

Starting his training facilities from almost nothing in 1935; following graduation from MSU with honors, Nase built up one of the best equipped training rooms in the nation.

Every athlete receives highly skilled professional treatment.

The Grizzly trainer came from Milwaukee, Wisconsin where he played football on the city championship teams of 1928 and 1929* In 1928 he was selected All-City end, the first Negro to receive the honor at Milwaukee. Nase was persuaded by his friend James

Dorsey, a prominent Milwaukee lawyer and former Montana State University football letterman, to continue his education at MSU.

In four years at MSU he won nine varsity letters in football, basketball and track.

He was chosen All-Player Honorable Mention All-American for his football play and still rates a position on the Grizzly All-Time Football Team. In track he broadjumped 22* 9”; and only a half dozen Grizzly athletes have bettered his record in 36 years. In basketball

Nase was an outstanding defensive player and rebounder. His senior year Nase won the

Grizzly Cup, as well as receiving many other honors.

On March 3, 1956, after 20 years service as Grizzly trainer, hundreds of persons from the community of Missoula and the State of Montana, plus many friends across the nation, paid tribute to Nase at "Naseby Rhinehart Night" following the Montana-Colorado

A & M basketball game.

Three years later Nase was nominated for the Silver Anniversary football team, annually

selected by Sports Illustrated Magazine. In i960 he received the annual Ray T. Rocene

Sportsman of the Year Award.

RUPPERT HOLLAND, EQUIPMENT MANAGER

Ruppert (Sarge) Holland, Grizzly equipment manager, is starting his fifth year as a mainstay in the MSU athletic department--taking care of thousands of dollars worth of athletic equipmento

A native of Shelby, N. D., Holly enlisted in the Army right after high school in

1925• He continued in this profession for 25 years, retiring in 1950 as a master sergeant. He served in Alaska, Panama, Hawaii, Germany and many other military posts around the world.

In 1956 he accepted the equipment manager’s job following the retirement of Carl

O ’Laughlin. After years of observing persons in controlled situations, psychologists tell us (undoubtedly with tongue-in-cheek) that they can accurately foretell almost to the detail the behavior patterns of an individual or group in any given situation.

Although many foolhardy souls attempt to make a business doing so, no prognosticator has yet devised a sure-fire way of predicting the capricious world of college sports. The unforeseen and downright unbelievable and ludicrous will give any sports writer (and coach) suicidal tendencies when he wakes Sunday morning, reads the paper, and sees what happened to his well-thought-out calculations.

So it goes with Montana State University football. You will recall last season that the prediction-department boys gave the New Mexico Lobos two touchdowns over the Grizzlies. It turned out to be a J+0-8 Homecoming upset in the Silvertips1 favor. The MSU squad was leading 9-0 going into the fourth quarter of the Grizzly-

Bobcat squabble when the boobs ended the contest for a 10-9 victory. Two other encounters--Brigham Young and Idaho--were thought to be possible University wins.

However, BYU skinned by 7-6; and Idaho pulled it out of the fire, l6-l4, in the waning minutes. So the Grizzlies finished the season, two and six.

This writer, along with many others, has graduated from the prophecy school and foresworn the crystal ball. No words of wisdom for the fans are forthcoming this season--just the conservative facts (that’s a good propaganda term) to let you make the pre-game decisions.

Now that we have that settled, let’s look at the Grizzly team.

Fifteen Grizzlies walked down the aisle for University sheepskins last spring or summer, leaving the grid team short on depth, especially at the quarterback, fullback, center and tackle positions. Twenty lettermen and others are back for at least another year of action, and twenty-four sophomores are giving it the good

’ol first-year college try.

The quarterback position is the spot that really has the MSU coaching staff staying up nights worrying. MSU’s famed signal caller Bob O'Billovich graduated,

leaving us with pleasant memories, two senior quarterbacks who are short on

experience and two young sophomore candidates.

All four have good and bad qualities, causing head coach Ray Jenkins to

comment: "I wish I could put all four in a bag, shake it, and produce one

outstanding one.11

Paul Miller at the moment is probably the leading contender for the coveted field general post. Miller is fast and is good on the option play, but needs some

hard work on defense and blocking. Bill Stack is an average passer and does a fair job of blocking and running. Sophomore Tom Huffer is a big kid whose strong points are passing and defense, and beginner Gary Jenkins is a good runner and commendable on the bootleg. A fifth quarterback prospect, Dan Smelko, has been moved to fullback to give that position more depth.

Aside from quarterback, the MSU Grizzly backfield could prove to be the strong powerhouse it has been in past years. Versatile left halfback Terry Dillon as one of the most exceptional backfield men the University has had in recent yearso He does everything well. Along with fleet Pat Dodson, who apparently has recovered from last year’s serious knee injury, and Ron Werba, M SU’s leading scorer last season, the University will probably have one of the smoothest running and passing backfield machines in the Pacific Northwest.

Giving those halfbacks plenty of reserve-team help will be veterans Bill

Martin, at left, and Steve Wood and Dick Miller, at right. Yearlings, at left,

Paul Amadio and Lee Swanson, and at right, Myles Vandergrift, may be called on for limited action before the season is finished.

The fullback position, as mentioned before, is in the capable hands of senior

Ron Werbac Veteran Pete Gotay is tough and will be number two man behind Werba. A sophomore transfer from Notre Dame, Joe Krajacic, is a speed merchant, and once

he becomes familiar with the Grizzly game of football, he may become very

useful.

Coach Jenkins considers center Tom Hauck to be one of the key men in the Grizzly

starting string this season. He will likely hold down the center post for all

ten games. Old timer Dennis Kimmitt is second-team center, and newcomer Charles

Bultman is about third.

The guard spots have fairly good depth, with many veterans back, and the

newcomers eyeing the starting spots.

Many believe that Jim Bartell is the best-around lineman on the squad at right

guard. Their evaluation is certainly close. Backing Bartell up will be tough first-

year candidates Gerald Luchau, Pat McLemore, and Lewis Schneller.

At left guard, Dan Peters, the "bad luck" Grizzly who was out of action almost

all last season, appears to have a starting post. Senior Jack Shevalier is his

probable replacement in case of reinjury. Brent Russell, a transfer from Montana

State College, and sophomore Denny Price will be about third-string prospects.

The tackle spots, especially right, are not quite so fortunate in depth.

"Old steady" Carl Schwertfeger, the last of the three famed Schwertfegeis who have

played Grizzly grid ball in recent years, is a healthy candidate at left

tacke. The starting man, however, appears to be junior George Dennis, who jumped

from third string to first after showing hustle and desire in early practice.

Senior Bruce Wallwork is either second or third-string material.

Coach Jenkins has a problem at right tackle. Larry Scovel and Dick Gilder are hard and experienced workers, but are limited. Newcomer Fred Calder, a transfer from Potomac State College in West Virginia, is a big man and may be Jenkins* solution to the problem. Jim Whipple, a sophomore, will undoubtedly be an appreciated addition to the team before the season is ended. Whipple does a

fair job of booting the ball, however, and may be used as a specialist at that

trade.

Left end has no problem with senior Dick Huse in charge. Huse is considered the best anchor man on the team and will be making the headlines again this season. Another outstanding veteran helping out Huse will be Bill Bouchee.

John Barbarie, a sophomore, will give good bench strength.

When a college coach gives a starting position to a sophomore, you can bet your last nickel the sophomore must have terrific potential. That's the analysis of right end Crist Pomajevich, nephew of Grizzly great Joe Pomajevich who played for MSU in the thirties. Tall and lanky, he runs like a prairie antelope and will be making a name for himself before long.

Senior Bill Ellison and newcomer Bob Crippen are likely second and third men at right end.

The overall picture in a nutshell: The backfield looks good and fast.

The Line has some notable weak spots that may be alleviated by the development of sophomores. Offense looks fair and defense needs lots of work. A passing- catching combination may work, but a running game will likely produce better results. Lack of depth at many positions, but good depth at others. A respectable first unit. But if many injuries occur, trouble will result by using second and third-team replacements.

I'd be contradicting myself if I made some pre-game jabs at how the Grizzlies will fare this season. However, I can quote somebody who knows what he's talking about: Coach Jenkins thinks the men will have a tough go against Wyoming,

Utah State and New Mexico. He said there will be a 50-50 chance of victory against the other seven--North Dakota, Idaho, Weber, Brigham Young, Idaho State, Montana

State, and Colorado State University.

Three Silvertip contests will have an air of mystery. The University beat

North Dakota in i960, but didn't play the Sioux last season. Weber College is a new four-year institution at Ogden, Utah, that the Grizzlies have never met.

And Idaho State has been hiding down in Pocatello for many years. The last time we competed against the Bengals was in the dark ages of 1936.

Four home games are slated, with the remaining six on the road. Homecoming is

Oct. 6 with the University of Idaho, followed by Missoula games Oct. 13 with

Weber, Oct. 20 with Brigham Young, and Nov. 10 with Montana State. All home contests are on Saturdays at 1:30 p.m.

All away-from-home contests are at 1:30 p.m. except the North Dakota game at 8:00 p.m. (Central Standard Time) and the Idaho State game at 2:00 p.m. HONOR CANDIDATES: Halfbacks Pat Dodson and Terry Dillon* Fullback Ron Werba Center Tom Hauck Guards Jim Bartell and Dan Peters Tackle Carl Schwertfeger End Dick Huse *--All-Skyline Honorable Mention in I96I

Huse: Hoose Weber College: Wee-ber College PLAYER THUMBNAILS

Quarterbacks....

Tom Huffer, soph., 185, 6-0, Maywood, 111. Huffer is a big kid whose strong points are passing and defense. He may see some limited action.

Gary Jenkins, soph., 188, 5-11, Great Falls, Mont. A transfer from Kansas State, Jenkins is a fine passer and good on the bootleg. Like Huffer, he will probably be slated from some limited play.

Paul Miller, sr., 170, 5-10, Miles City, Mont., one-year letterman. A fast man who saw some action last year, Miller needs practice on defense and throwing. He will likely be started in several games.

Dan Smelko, soph., I85 , 5-10?, Hubbard, Ohio. Another reserve man at the field general post, Smelko has a fine football background. He's good on defense, but needs to work to perfect his passing.

Bill Stack, sr., 190^6-0, Butte, Mont. At the moment, Stack is the best looking candidate for starting quarterback. An average passer and blocker, he runs the ball fairly capable.

Halfbacks....

Paul Amadio, soph., l6(J-5-10, New York, N. Y. Willing and tough, Amadio will be about a 4th string left halfback and will provide excellent bench strength.

Terry Dillon, sr., 190^6-0, Hopkins, Minn., two-year letterman. As fine a football player on the Grizzxy team, Dillon has improved more than anyone on the squad, especially in blocking and defense. A leading Silvertip passer, runner, and kicker, Dillon specializes in just about everything on the football field and does it well. He's the leading Grizzly honor's candidate.

Pat Dodson, sr., 175, 5-10, Shelby, Mont., two-year letterman. Dodson, injured much of last season, should stage a comeback this season, but may be limited. Small In size, but large in desire, talent and speed. Dodson has contributed to a fine Montana backfield the past two seasons.

Bill Martin, soph., 185, 5“10, Dillon, Mont. The number two man behind left halfback Terry Dillon, Martin will be depended upon to help out much this season.

Dick Miller, sr., 180^ 5-10-g-, Hopkins, Minn., two-year letterman. A defensive specialist, this well-season two-year letterman will provide great help at the right halfback position. He should see a great deal of action this season.

Lee Swanson, soph., 165,5-10, Whitefish, Mont. Potentially, he isone of the finest players on the team. He'll be number three man behind Terry Dillon and Bill Martin and may see some game time before the end of the season.

Steve Wood, jr., 185, 5-11> Miles City, Mont., one-year letterman. Injured part of last season, Wood has recovered and looked well in the spring game. He'll be at least number two man behind Pat Dodson at right halfback. Myles Vandergrift, soph., 165, 5-9; Hos Angeles, Calif. Needs lots of development, but Vandergrift looks as though he may develop into a capable right halfback in several years.

Fullbacks....

Pete Gotay, soph., 200, 6-0, Clarkstown, N. Y. A strong, heavy kid, Gotay has great potential. He will probably see limited playing this season.

Pete Leech, soph., l60, 5-11; Daly City, Calif. A little guy, Leech is tougher than nails. He's also an excellent student, frequently pulling down straight A's.

Ron Werba, sr., 190, 5-11, Chicago, 111., two-year letterman. Along with Terry Dillon at left halfback, Ron Werba at fullback will provide a powerful combination. The leading Grizzly scorer last season, Werba will be giving it all he has In his final year of play.

Centers....

Charles Bultman, soph., 210,6-0, Souderton, Pa. Bultman made the most tackles in the spring game. The MSU coaches have their eye on him as a possible strong center in several years.

Dennis Kimmitt, sr., 204, 5-11, Great Falls, Mont., one-year letterman. Kimmitt is not an exceptional center, and he'll be about third-string material. With a little work and devotion, he might pick up a number two rating.

Gary Svee, soph., 220, 6-3, Columbus, Mont. A large player, hovering around 220, Svee is good reserve material at center.

Guards....

Jim Bartell, sr., 200, 6-0, Glencoe, 111., two-year letterman. Bartell is assured of a starting position at right guard. Another strong point in the Grizzly line, Bartell is a leader and likely will be a co-captain.

Gerald Luchau, soph., 200, 5-10, Missoula, Mont. Luchau was a freshman on the MSU campus in 1957- He went into the service and has returned. He is made of rough stuff, and knows how to block with exceptional tenacity. Sports fans will be hearing much about Luchau in coming years.

Pat McLemore, soph., 200, 6-1^, Anaconda, Mont. McLemore will likely be the number three man at the right guard slot and will provide talented depth.

Dan Peters, sr., 200, 6-0, Butte, Mont., two-year letterman, Peters, injured most of last season, has had a lot of bad luck. A blood clot in the leg put him out of action last year. This season he is almost a sure starter at left guard. A natural leader, he'll probably be another co-captain.

Dennis Price, soph., l60, 5-7; Missoula, Mont. Although light, this boy is tough and loves to play the game. He'll provide reserve strength at left guard. Brent Russell, soph., 205, 6-1, Missoula, Mont. A transfer from Montana State College, Russell is unfamiliar with Grizzly football. But potentially, Russell is full of ability and may see some starting action before the season is over.

Lewis Schneller, soph., 190, 5-9, Butte, Mont. Schneller will be about the number four man at right guard. He has some ability, but will need lots of further development.

Jack Shevalier, sr., 200, 5-10; Helena, Mont., two-year letterman. Shevalier is slow to ever be a great football player. Nevertheless, he's reliable to have around and will provide some help at left guard.

Tackles---

George Dennis, jr., 215, 5-H?> Vancouver, B. C., one-year letterman. Former MSU end coach Don Branby sent this lad down from Vancouver. He's strong and has terrific speed, but needs much development. Plays left tackle.

Dick Gilder, sr., 205, 6-0, Red Lodge, Mont., one-year letterman. Gilder is a steady, dependable player who gives out 100 per cent when on the field.

Terry Marks, soph., 230, 5-11, Hardin, Mont. Marks is a big kid who must get in shape to play good ball. He also needs lots of development. When these two things are accomplished, he'll be valuable addition at left tackle.

Eugene Moe, sr., 210, 6-2, Helena, Mont., two-year letterman. During spring practice coach Jenkins moved Moe from right end to right tackle in hopes of giving strength to this weak spot in the Grizzly line. He dislocated a shoulder in spring practice, but should be capable this fall.

Carl Schwertfeger, sr., 210, 6-3, Milwaukee, Wis., two-year letterman. "Old steady" gives it everything he's got. An almost sure starter at left guard, Carl is the last of the Schwertfeger brothers who played Grizzly football in recent years.

Larry Scovel, sr., 210, 6-3, Kalispell, Mont. Big and strong, Scovel doesn't have exceptional ability. He'll probably be a kickoff specialist this year for the Grizzlies.

Bruce Wallwork, jr., 205, 6-0, Honolulu, Hawaii, one-year letterman. Tough and strong, Wallwork could easily be number one left tackle with a little more experience.

Jim Whipple, soph., 222, 6-2, Helena, Mont. Whipple will provide some appreciated talent at the weak right tackle spot. He'll need lots of work, however.

Ends....

John Barbarie, soph., 200, 6-1, Calgary, Alta. John played little football before coming to MSU. Coach Jenkins changed him from a linebacker to an end. He's the best catching end among the newcomers and even better than some of the veterans. Good possibilities exist for Barbarie.

Bill Bouchee, sr., 185, 6-1, Livingston, Mont., two-year letterman. Bouchee will likely be playing left end. He should have a good year. He's not quite first string material, but has great potential. Bob Crippen, soph., 185, 6-0, Butte, Mont. Crippen, an All-State end from Butte, ■will be a fine prospect with further development.

Bill Ellison, sr., 205, 6-3, Mandan, N. D., one-year letterman. Ellison came along fine in spring ball. He'll probably be about a number four man at right end.

Rocky Greenfield, soph., 200, 6-7, Missoula, Mont. Also a member of the MSU basketball team, Greenfield is a fine prospect and has a football background. He needs some work on coordination and speed.

Dick Huse, sr., 200, 6-0, Great Falls, Mont., two-year letterman. A guard in high school, Huse is the best end on the Grizzly team and should be exceptional in his final year of play for the Grizzlies. He's assured of a starting post at left end.

Gene Leonard, soph., 200, 6-2, Bay City, Mich. Leonard will probably develop some this year. He's about a number three man at left end.

Crist Pomajevich, soph., 195, 6-l|r, Superior, Mont. Pomajevich is a former Marine Corp gridder who likes the game. He's a roughneck when it comes to football and shows tremendous promise at the right end spot. ALL-TIME MONTANA STATE UNIVERSITY FOOTBALL RECORD

OVERALL OUTLOOK:

If coach Eaton can come up with a quarterback to replace the outstanding Chuck Lamson and trigger the Pokes * new balanced-line T offense and have some help at center, Wyoming should be in a good position to start off Western Athletic Conference competition. A clutch of some of the hardest running youngsters in the Rockies spearheads the Pokes* patented crunching ground game. Passing should be improved and the defense is expected to be tough again. Much of the Cowboys* success will depend upon how well they fare in rugged season openers. Montana, New Mexico, Washington State, and Utah poase headaches the first four weekends and the pressure doesn*t slacken as Texas Western, Arizona, Colorado State University, Air Force, Utah State, and Brigham Young follow on successive Saturdays.
