PROSPECTUS Heavy, w e t snow fe ll on the M o n ta n a campus as la te as M a y 15. June a n d J u ly ra in fa ll in th e moun­ ta in co u n try was w a y a b o ve no rm al. The forests and hillsides a ro u n d M issoula a re th e greenest th e y have been in th irty years — th e same can be said fo r the G riz z lie s ' 1955 fo o tb a ll crop.

N o t since 1946, w hen

the U niversity p u t a freshm an team on th e fie ld to com pete in th e Pacific C oast C onference, has a Silv e rtip team been so short on experience.

A b ra n d new c o a c h i n g s ta ff is starting fro m scratch a t M o n ta n a a n d 1955 ap pe ars as a ye a r to bu ild . M a te ria l­ ly, C oach W illia m s and his you ng assistants w e re n e a rly w ip e d o u t b y g ra d u a tio n loss­ es. O n ly nine letterm en re ­ tu rn , w h ile 14 reg ulars and to p reserves have d e p a rte d fro m a team th a t lost 6 and w o n 3, in clud in g o n ly one conference gam e. The to p WESKAMP le ad ers in each statistical d e ­ p a rtm e n t a re lost — losses th a t ca n n o t be replaced in one year. " W e w ill be p la y in g w ith the reserves th a t M o n ­ ta n a w as conceded not to have last y e a r," W illia m s states.

" W e a re not discou rage d a b o u t th e pros­

pects, on the c o n tra ry , w e saw some thin gs in spring d rills and the A lu m n i ga m e th a t w ere d e fin ite ly e n ­ co u ra g in g .

I w as im ­ pressed w ith th e enthusiasm a n d desire o f th e playe rs, a team w ith s p irit and d rive a l­ w ays makes an interesting a fte rn o o n fo r its o p p o n e n ts."

W illia m s , how ever, is not d e lu d in g him self a b o u t the tou gh com p etitio n he w ill face this ye a r. He has a p re tty cle a r p ictu re o f th e jo b th a t DASINGER faces him a t M o n ta n a .
