WALLY SCHWANK, ATHLETIC DIRECTOR 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 Ted Shipkey 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.
