MISSOULA— Hoping to avert t h e ir seventh stra ig h t Skyline lo s s th is season,
the Montana G r iz z lie s charged through o ffe n s iv e and d efen sive workouts t h is
week with increased vim.
"I fra n k ly think our mental a ttitu d e is good , con sid erin g that the boys
haven't had a v ic t o r y a l l s e a s o n ," coach Ray Jenkins sa id .
"We’ ve had one
disappointment a fte r another a l l season, but the d e s ire to win i s s t i l l e v id e n t."
Stopping Colorado S tate U n iversity in th is Saturday’ s t i l t at Fort C o llin s
won’ t be an easy m atter, however.
The Rams, d esp ite th e ir 1-2 Skyline mark,
are always dangerous on t h e ir home t u r f.
"They have one o f the speediest b a c k fie ld s in the league, and the xvhole
squad sho’wed t e r r i f i c hu stle and s p i r i t , " was the comment o f end coach
Don Branby, who scouted CSU in t h e ir encounter with Utah State la s t weekend.
The in ju ry s itu a tio n appears s lig h t ly improved.
Only g rid d er unable t o
play is ta ilb a c k Bob Everson, who probably won’ t see a ctio n u n t il the Montana
State t i l t on Nov. 15.
End John Lands, the n a tio n ’ s eighth best punter, w i l l
probably see a c tio n , as w i l l ta ck le Dick Leenhouts, who in ju red a knee two weeks
ago.
Halfback Howard Johnson and fu llb a c k Joe Pepe, who turned in a f u l l game
against BYU, both appear h e a lth ie r than at any poin t p re v io u sly in the season.
Probable S ilv e r t ip s ta rte r s are Pete Muri and Dale Berry, ends;
Charlie Moore and John Gregor, tackJ.es; Stan the Ram Penning and Dale Sparber,
guards; Jim Johnson, cen ter; P h il G r iff in , quarterback; Jerry Connors, wingback;
Johnson, ta ilb a c k ; and Pepe, fu llb a c k .
