A THREE CORNERED OUTLOOK Bv

Montana University

Today's game is a "must" game for the University of Denver Pioneers if they are to retain any hopes of battling for the 1957 Skyline football championship. The Pioneers, h i g h l y rated in pre-season,

suffered two setbacks in non-conference open­ers and, although these losses didn't hurt the?r conference standings, they did considerably lessen their prestige in the Rocky Mountain country.

Then, last week, the Pioneers were upset by a surprising Colorado State University team.

Because of this, the Pioneers will be fighting with their backs to the wall today in a desper­ate effort to keep alive their goal of a successful season. Ordinarily you might expect the Pi­oneers would be looking past Montana to the vital Utah game a week hence but that won't be the case.

As a matter of fact, Coach John Roning and his charges have been fearing this game with Montana as much as any game on the entire schedule. The Pioneers felt that the Grizzlies were the hardest-hitting team they faced in 1956 and, with the incentive of homecoming to spur the Grizzlies on, it isn't hard to figure out why Roning and his charges are frankly wor­ded about today's contest.

The Denver team playing in Missoula today will be the youngest team ever to face the Griz­zlies since the Montana-Denver series began back in 1951. In the Iowa State opener three weeks ago, Roning used 16 sophomores, 11 juniors and only two seniors and the ratio won't be much different today.

To date, the Pioneers have proven tough in the middle of the line, adequate offensively, but have left something to be desired with their end play and their defensive backfield play. Those are two problems that Roning and his staff have been striving desperately to overcome the last two weeks.

The top man in the line is Co-Captain Bob Huber at right guard. Huber is only a 170- pounder but, "pound for pound, he's the best player on our team," according to Roning.

Huber gets middle-of-the-line help from Cen­ter Bob Garrard, Tackles Sal Cesario and Bob Carter and a top sophomore, Guard Tim Bar­rett.

Senior A1 Yanowich will quarterback the Pioneers today and, as Roning puts it, "Yank is the most underrated player in the Skyline conference." Several halfbacks will carry the mail for the Pioneers, including such names as George Colbert, Eloy Mares, Jim Epperson, Jack Work and Melvin Johnson. You might see some top running out of Sophomore Paul Collins, also.

Look for the Pioneers to pass often with both the quarterbacks and halfbacks pitching the ball. If the going gets tough, look for the of­fensive fireworks to become even more intense for, as every Pioneer knows, "This is the game we've got to w in/'

J. D. Coleman

While t o d a y ' s game is a must for the Pioneers, it is e v e n more of a "must" for Montana's Grizzlies. Denver, by virtue of a victory over Montana, con­ceivably could go on to make a real bid

for the Conference championship.

For Montana, already loser in three confer­ence tilts, a championship is out of the question. The Grizzlies must win, however, for a number of other important, but less definable reasons.

This is Montana's first home game. After a severe bout with the flu when the season opened Sept. 1, the Grizzlies have fought back against almost insurmountable odds. They have tackled three foes on the road—each of the opponents have been mentioned conspicu­ously as title contenders.

A win today would mean that Montana has bounced back in the face of adversity and would serve notice that the Grizzlies are a team to be reckoned with.

A defeat could well mean a tremendous team morale problem and conceivably be the impetus that would send the Silvertips deeper and deeper into the defeat woods.

Although two of Montana's top players are sidelined with injuries, the team still has never been in better condition. Last week, Montana displayed a tremendous pass defense, limiting BYU s Carroll Johnston to just 36 yards in the air. But the pass defense came at the expense

of Montana's offense since it should have been mastered back in early September and not in the week prior to the Brigham Young game.

But with anywhere from 15 to 30 players sidelined with Asian Flu, Coach Jerry Williams scarcely had any choice in the matter.

This past week, with passing and rushing defense apparently improved, Williams has sent his charges through proportioned drills, aimed at producing a well-balanced squad.

Today look for the tremendous linebacking of Stan Renning, No. 67, Montana's junior All- Skyline and All-America candidate. Stan has been named outstanding lineman of three con­secutive games—a feat made even more spec­tacular because of the caliber of Montana's foes and because the games were played away from home.

Other numbers to watch, today include: No. 12, Earl Keeley, quarterback, a fine field gen­eral and good passer who was hampered by bursitis earlier this season; No. 40, Matt Gor- sich, halfback, a tremendous runner, who today may really hit his stride; No. 32, Ervin (Tank) Rosera, fullback, a powerful ground gainer who can usually pick up that two or three yard chunk of turf when it really is needed; No's. 82, 84, 86, 87, Pete Rhinehart, Terry Hurley, Lou Pangle and Larry Myers, great ends, both de­fensively and offensively.

Look for Montana to throw with more authority today. With Keeley coming back into form, the Grizzlies' pass offense will be a thing to be reckoned with. Consequently, Montana's rushing offense also will show marked improve­ment.

Today's homecoming tilt should be a dandy. With both teams shooting for their first win, anything can and probably will happen.

Homecoming is ac­cepted in intercollegiate realms as the occasion for the football squad of whatever institution is ob­serving the day to show the alumni how good it is.

Ray T. Rocene Montana State University has had its share of ups and downs Homecoming

afternoon, when the winning coach and team (if Montana) is toasted to the sky, fried to a frizzle if the visitors spoil the day by proving better gridders.

There was a time when Montana's Home­coming was a November event, but unreliable weather brought better judgment to the fore to the extent that it is now observed in October. Once or twice an effort was made to assure Grizzly victory by bringing a none too strong foe here, but alumni protested so vigorously that now the Homecoming visitors get nothing but the toughest as to competition.

One of Montana's most famed Homecom­ings was the 6-6 tie with the Big Orange of Syracuse, an event that shook national foot­ball back in 1915. But it was played in a bliz­zard and visitors almost froze stiff.

That happened also in Bernie Bierman's last Montana game in 1921 when Grizzlies beat North Dakota State 7-6 on a field of ice.

Last year Utah State and Montana were tied into the last quarter in a 13-13 Homecoming thriller, then Ezra Smith, Utags' flash, got aw ay twice in the final moments.

The year before sent alumni into an al­coholic daze if inclined that way. Denver won 61-13, bombing for five tds in the first half, run­ning aw ay for four more in the second.

In 1954 M ontana beat Utah State 20-13 in a great Homecoming gam e with runs of 60 and 50 yards by Dick Imer sparkling, with a pass interception by Dale Shupe saving the game in the last minute.

Nothing ever matched the 1953 Homecom­ing when Montana outscored Colorado Aggie Rams 32-31, taking a 32-13 lead early in the third quarter. Rams all but caught up, a wide place kick failing to tie it, the last period a wild but scoreless fracas.

In 1952 Brigham Young scored three tds in the last period to win 28-7.

The 1951 Homecoming show was a thriller, swift Christian of Idaho winning for Vandals with two pretty runs 12-9 and Montana just missing a last minute field goal by The Toe Gerlinger.

We remember the 1941 Homecoming against North Dakota Sioux, tied at 6-6 into the last period when Eso Naranche, who a year later died in the North African campaign, smashed through repeatedly for yardage and a td and then kicked goal.

So the history of Montana Homecoming goes back through the athletic annals of the institution. At one time an effort was made to have Homecoming at Butte as part of the Cop­per Bowl game but that ended quickly.

Denver is M ontana's Homecoming foe of this afternoon and the Grizzlies really want to win this one as the Denver loss of last year was marred by whistle blowing that w as unique to say the least. And it was Denver that wrecked the 1953 Homecoming with a m assacre of the Grizzlies. The Pioneers under John Roning are always tough competition and the Grizzlies have yet to win from Denver on Domblaser Field, though twice taking the Pioneers at Den­ver stadium. The series now stands four to two for Denver.

M ontana UniversityLocation — Missoula, Montana, city of more

than 30,000 residents on the western slope of the Rocky Mountains. Missoula is nick­named the "Garden City" and is the hub of five great valleys that reach into sur­rounding mountains. The city is served by the main lines of the Milwaukee and North­ern Pacific railroads as well as by North­west Airlines and Greyhound and Inter- mountain bus lines. It is located at the crossroads of the main east-west and north- south U. S. highways 10 and 93.

Consequently the athletic and recreational facilities at Montana have had their greatest period of growth under Dr. McFarland's dy­namic, yet quiet, leadership. Under the Mc­Farland philosophy intercollegiate athletics at the University are an integral part of the over­all educational plan.

Dr. McFarland received three academic de­grees at the University—a bachelor of arts de­gree in history and political science in 1928, a master of arts degree in 1929 and a bachelor of laws degree in 1930. In 1932, he completed his formal education when he received the degree of doctor of jurisdicial science, after one year at Flarvard University. In 1949, Montana State University awarded him the honorary doctor of laws degree.

G. P. (Jiggs) DahlbergMontana Director of Athletics

When Montana needed a new director of athletics three years ago the logical choice was hard-working, dependable "Jiggs" Dahlberg, a man with 30 years coaching experience. Since he returned to his alm a mater in 1937 Jiggs has been head basketball coach, assisted in foot­ball and baseball, and has been the depart­ment's top proselytor.

Dahlberg graduated from the University in 1925 with athletic honors in basketball and football and was captain of the cage team. Fol­lowing graduation he spent 12 years coaching high school teams at Miles City and Anaconda, Montana, and at Hoquiam, Puyallup and Che- halis, Wash. He spent two years in the service during World War II coaching baseball, bas­ketball and boxing at Fort Lawton, Wash.

A full professor on the University staff, Jiggs was well-known in the mountain country for his hustling, fast-breaking basketball teams. He developed the Grizzly's greatest basketball squad in 1949. He is married and has a young son and daughter.

E. E. (Tad) WiemanDenver Director of Athletics

One of the most respected figures in his field, Tad is a veteran of more than 35 years as coach and director of college athletics.

Tad lettered for four years and was captain of his team at the University of Michigan under the immortal Fielding Yost. He then took a line coaching post and later succeeded Yost as head mentor. He also coached at Minnesota, Princeton and Columbia and later was director of physical education and athletics at the Uni­versity of Main. He came to D. U. in 1951.

He is a past president and honorary life member in the American Football Coaches As­sociation, secretary of the NCAA football rules committee and last year further was honored by being selected for a place in the Football Hall of Fame.

Tad is married and has a son and a daugh­ter, both of whom have completed their college careers.

Montana Athle .When the 1957-58 edition of the Silvertip

cage squad roll out onto the floor in December it will mark the third season that Forrest B. (Frosty) Cox has been at the Grizzly basket­ball helm. In his first season at Montana he finished in the Skyline cellar, a position he vowed never to occupy again. Last year, but for two extremely close games, the Grizzlies would have had the conference crown. As it was, the Silvertips upset the pre-season dope- sters by landing in third place.

What will happen this year, only the future will tell. But one thing is an almost certainty— the Grizzlies won't spend much time in the con­ference basement. Frosty prefers the rarified air of the first division much too much.

Adams

Everything Montana's training facilities are today can be attributed to Naseby Rhinehart, athletic trainer, who took over the injury treat­ing duties as a part-time job in 1935. His know­how and techniques make him one of the most respected among the trainnig fraternity around the nation.

"Nase" came to the University from Milwau­kee and was cm outstanding end in '32, '33 and '34 . . . he still is rated on the All-Time Grizzly team. He also lettered three years in basket­ball and track.

CoxServing his 26th year as head track coach

at Montana is Harry Adams, noted in the west for his outstanding cinder squads and for the great track stars he has produced. He was graduated from Montana in 1921 after a spec­tacular collegiate career in track, football and basketball and still ranks as one of the school's all-time greats. He was a member of the 400- yard sprint-relay team that at one time held the world's record.

Golden Anniversary Gr

The Golden Anniversary Grizzly football team, under F. W. Shule, then in his second year as head coach at Montana, had what could be considered a fairly successful season.

Led by Captain William Harriman (Petos- key, Mich.) the Grizzlies led off their season by defeating the Fort Shaw Indians 32-6. The fol­lowing weekend the Silvertips scored a moral victory by holding a superior Washington State College team to a mere 5-0 win.

A subsequent 11-0 win over the Spokane Athletic Club team, which later defeated the WSC eleven, made the previous week's game with the Cougars even more impressive.

Then, as now, the Grizzlies had a tough

time with the football teams of Utah University. This season the Utes dropped the Silvertips 42-0. Still smarting from that humiliating de­feat, the Grizzlies bowed the next week to still another Beehive State team, the Utah State Aggies, by a score of 17-6.

The final game of the season, against a team of ex-collegians, ended in an 8-0 defeat of the Montana varsity.

Members of the Golden Anniversary team were: William Harriman, Eugene Fisher,Charles Dimmick, Roy McPhail, A. I. Morgan, lames Flaherty, Keith Ambrose, John Mc­Namara, Vincent Craig, Barney Kitt, Oral Berry, A. F. Bishop, Russell King, and Gene McCarthy.

Silver Anniversary Gri

The Silver Anniversary Grizzly football team experienced a season similar to the one suffered by the Silvertips last year in that it won only one game while losing six. The yearbook sportswriter had this to say about the team:

"Handicapped during the first season by newness here and not having had previous ex­perience with the men, Bernard F. Oakes, varsity coach, completed his first year at the State University of Montana. The season was rather discouraging so far as the game scores were concerned, but the squad soon gained a reputation as a hard scrapping, fighting team.

"The three high spots of the football season were: The Idaho game, with Montana's phe­nomenal rally in the last period; the W ashing­ton State game, when Montana held the supe­rior western team to a 13-0 score, and the fol­lowing Saturday when it beat and trampled the Montana State players by a 37-6 score."

The Grizzlies led off with Mount St. Charles, now Carroll College, but dropped the tilt, 2-0. The following week at Seattle, the Montana

team was slapped down by a powerful Wash­ington Husky team, 25-0.

Then came the Idaho game when the Sil­vertips scored three touchdowns in the last 12 minutes of play but lost the game by two missed extra points. The final score was Idaho 21, Montana 19. Washington State and Montana State followed. Then the Oregon State Beavers downed Montana 19-0, the game played in a sea of mud.

In the final game of the season, at Los An­geles, the Trojans of Southern California showed Montana how the national champions played the game. Displaying overwhelming power drives with a good passing attack the Men of Troy downed the Grizzlies 69-0.

Silver Anniversary team members were: William Boone, Robert Breen, Arthur Caveh, Walter Cox, Cale Crowley, Lowell Dailey, Ly­man Chalmer, Thomas McCarthy, John Mc­Kay, Delmer Meeker, Henry Murray, Russell Peterson, Alfred Dahlberg, Richard Fox, Dale Hinman, Leonard Kuka, Leonard LaRoux, Lin- wood Reynolds, George Snyder, August Vidro, Wendell Williams, and August Botzenhardt.

Tenth Anniversary Gri

The Tenth Anniversary Grizzly team, load­ed with talent and headed once again by Doug Fessenden, returning to Montana after a lapse of five years, racked up a 7-4 record against a powerful slate of opponents.

Led by co-captains Sam Leeper and Ben Tyvand, both of Butte, the Grizzlies scored suc­cessive 21-0 romps over Eastern Washington and Portland University. A 40-0 setback at the hands of the Arizona Wildcats followed by a 13-7 loss to the Utah State Aggies failed to dampen the Silvertips' spirits.

The following Saturday, however, the Bob­cats scored one of their infrequent wins over Montana, defeating a deflated Grizzly 13-12. A rebound was inevitable and the victim was the Cougar of Washington State. The final score was 13-12. On that WSC team was a halfback named Jerry Williams.

The battle for the Little Brown Stein followed and Montana took possession of the trophy

with a 21-0 win over Idaho. The Golden Bears of Southern California were too much for the Grizzlies the next week and the game ended with California winning 60-14.

Montana finished strong with a 41-7 win over Colorado A 6c M, a 14-12 victory over the University of Hawaii and a 28-14 victory over the Hawaiian All Stars.

Members of the Tenth Anniversary squad included: Robert Anderson, Ray Bauer, Frank Briney, Lilburn Cork, Don Delaney, Kent De- Vore, Henry Ford, Robert Gorton, Roland Ham- merness, Doyle Harris, John Helding, Robert Helding, Frank Kalisch, Ronald Keim, Steve Kuburich, Mike Kumperis, Jon Jourdonnais, Clark Leaphart, Don Leaphart, Sam Leeper, Roy Malcolm, Jack Malone, Jack 0"Loughlin, William Prueninger, Dan Radakovich, Bert Re- plogle, William Reynolds, Pierre Roberts, Ar­nold Scott, Tom Selstad, Frank Semansky, David Streit, Ben Tyvand.
