IDAHO STATE IVIN PLEASES JACK SIVARTHOUT, BUT NORTHERN ARIZONA POSES PROBLEMS
•
MISSOULA Coach Jack Swarthout of the University of Montana was extremely pleased with his
Grizzlies' victory over Idaho State University last Saturday, but the head coach has a
bigger problem this weekend in the Northern Arizona University Lumberjacks
The Lumberjacks were nationally ranked by the Associated Press last week after they tripped Western Illinois, 34-0, and they defeated Long Beach State Friday night, 26-21, perhaps enabling them to move up in the national ratings which come out later this week The Lumberjacks will probably be the biggest team, weight-wise, the Grizzlies have
faced this season Coach Andy MacDonald has done extensive recruiting since going to
Flagstaff two years ago, and this season is called the "Harvest Year" of his 1965
recruiting
"We don't plan any extensive changes in formations or personnel for this weekend," Swarthout said, "but we may be forced to pass more than usual."
The Grizzlies had their most successful passing game of the season in beating Idaho State 20-0 Saturday Quarterbacks Ed Steiner and Jim Searles combined to hit on 6 of 13 aerials for 93 yards and one touchdown, while the Grizzly defense held the usually strong Idaho State passing attack to two completions on 14 throws Grizzly defenders intercepted five Bengal tosses
"Our offensive blocking was much better in the second half than in the first,"
Swarthout said Wes Appelt, who hasn't played much this year, played almost the entire second half and threw some excellent blocks."

Wrapup 2 Swarthout also dished out praise to Willie Jones and Bryan Magnuson, who carried
the brunt of the Grizzly running game Magnuson rambled for 109 yards on 17 carries, while Willie wheeled for 61 yards on 13 tries
Little Willie, named Athlete of the Year by the UM Alumni Association Friday night for his performances in track, specifically, apparently wanted to prove he could do the job in football as well
He caught an Ed Steiner pass for a 26-yard touchdown play in the first quarter, then • • went around end for the Grizzlies' final touchdown in the third period, almost destroying himself by running into the end zone bleachers

Swarthout was also pleased with the defensive unit's work Saturday
"Except for two or three long runs Bengals got away for, we contained their offense pretty well," Swarthout said
"Larry Huggins played his best game of the year at defensive right end," Swarthout continued "His pass rushing was excellent, and he contained runner coming to the outside
in his direction."
The Grizzlies will go this weekend without the services of defensive tackles Bob
Graham and Mike Nicosia, both injured Saturday However, sophomore back Roy Robinson may return to the Grizzly lineup against Northern Arizona
