THE COACHING STAFF
The University of Idaho has a well balanced coaching staff with years of experience both as players and
in the instruction side. With the exception of Freshman Coach Art Smith, all have played professional
football . Dr. Jacobson, team trainer , has also been
a coach so he understands both the player and the
coach's point of view . Both Coach Smith and Coach
Herschel Ramsey are new to the staff this season.
During the playing season the staff is usually divided
up with Coaches Harlow and Ramsey doing the scouting while Coach Curfman assists Head Coach Howell
in handling the ball game on Saturday.

HERE WE HAVE IDAHO
High Scoring Vandal Veterans To Meet
Single -Wing Offensive For First Time
By KEN HUNTER
Athletic P ublicity D ir(·c tor
University of Idaho
HEN the Idaho Vandals move to Pullman for
today's game they will be meeting a single wing
type of offensive for the first time this season.
How well they will be prepared tO stem the deceptive
thrusts of this type of attack will be rold before the dly
is over. Oddly enough Idaho's net four opponents will
all be single wing teams. These include Oregon State,
Wyoming, Arizona State at Tempe and Boston university.
W
Vandall P latoons
The Vandals, unable to turn tide against Washington State for many years, will be a similar team to
the Cougars. The Vandals lost 16 men from last year's
team and must rely heavily on sophomore reserves
after the veterans tire. Against Oregon, Coach Dixie
Howell used the platoon system for the first time.
That is he used a defensive team of 10 men and
offensive team of 10. The eleventh m an on both
reams was Left Halfback Johnny Brogan of Coeurd'Alene. Howell has not indicated any change in this
detail for Washington State.
kicks and runs as JVell as docs his share of the blocking.
He wears . No. 5 and you'il se~ him at the safety
spot on defense most of this afternoon.
The fastest man on the squad runs at the right
halfback spot, N o. 63, Glen Christian, a stocky ISSpound junior. Christian is still learning but is improving with every fluting. He still has much to learn
about defense but can twist and run with the best of
them.
The offensive fullback, King Block, No. 4, is another stocky-built 189 p ounder with quick starting
speed and the ability tO run either the ends or through
the middle. His specially is the quick opening thrusts
in the line.
A sophomore end, No. 6, Jerry Ogle, might startle
yo u with his pass-catching ability. You will have tO
watch and see.
To date the Vandals have lost to Montana 28 to 27
and to Texas Western 43 to 33, but have notched
up wins over Utah 26 to 19 and over Oregon 14 to 0.
They have been a high scoring team but not too sharp
defensively, at least until the Oregon encounter.
For the Vandals to go into the platoon system
required great risk and quite a gamble. In as thin
a squad as the Vandals an injury or two might upset
all the apple cart.
Men to Watch
Men you might like to pay particular attention to
here today on the Vandal squad are not roo numerous,
but several will bear watching.
In the line at guard, No. 23, is Roy Colquitt. Last
year as a junior Colquitt was named to the first allcoast squad and is an improved p layer this fall with
the added experience. Off the field Colquitt is slow
and lazy but on the turf he moves with the best of
them.
John Brogan has borne the brunt of Idaho's
offensive load for the past two years. He throws,

Welcome to the campus, to the game and to the weekend
of activities which have been planned for you. This is our way
of saying "Thanks", for giving us a fine school like W . S. C.
and giving us the opportunity to attend it. It is our hope that
you will enjoy to the utmost the program of events. And, when
you leave, if you feel a little younger in mind and body, and

Rogers Field
In some sections of the country, foot ball
has had a strain thrown on it by the indiscriminate use of intoxicants by fans at the
games. In m ost instances, this has been by
a small percentage who have been inconsiderate of other people 's rights.
On our campus , this abuse has been at a
minimum , but we are asking your wholehearted cooperation in discouraging such
action at our games. There is no place for
liquor on the Washington State Campus , of
which the stadium is a part.
Each of you is entitled to every privilege
and consideration. We have endeavored to
give you the finest program possible. Football
is America's leading intercollegiate sport and
characterizes the finest spirit in competition.
Let us help keep it ciean through our moral
obligation to the sport and to others.

So You Want To Sit On The Fifty
By HORATIO CRUSHBLOWER
W
HAT was rhe ruination of Rome ? Most historians
will tell you it was brought abour by the
dissipation and soft living of the early Romans.
Crushblower's Athletic Handbook brings our a long
forgotten historical fact, "the decline of rhe Roman
empire," rhe book reads," was brought abour by the
utter confusion created when 50,000 Romans decended
upon the Coliseum's ticker manager demanding fifty
yard line sears to a battle between Nick O'Popodopolis
and Georgeous Smith, a shipwrecked Mohawk Indian."
To this day College engineers still haven't figured
out how they can design a University stadium with all
the seats on the fifty yard line.
Heading the "headache department" of a college
athletic office is the man called the Ticket Manager.
He's the fellow who handles the football tickers once
they're printed and ready for distribution. On the
shoulders of this modern day Houdini rest many grave
problems.
. From the University of Maine to Coos Bay high
school, fifty yard seats are the most sought after of all
ducats. At Washington State College a quiet mannered
gentleman by the name of Glenn Oman holds the
unique title of Ticket Manager. Across the desk of this
31 year old Cougar grad comes the stories of "any
where in the stadium ole pal, just as long as it's on
the fifty."
Thousands of letters, phone calls and wires pour into
the ticket department. Mixed in with the many requests are demands for sears on the fifty yard line. "Not
anyplace else just the fifty," reads many a letter. If the
request is one of the first ones in the chances are the
individual will end up with an excellent seat. Actually
Washington State College has no seats on the fifty. The
fifty yard line divides 45 rows on the south side and 24
on the student side.
At Texas Western College the seats most sought
after are the end zone seats. According to their
publicist, W allace Snelson, the alumni and boosters
roar the loudest when they don't get the end zone.
Here at Washington State people actually write in requesting seats on the five yard line or lower As one
alum put it, "''m bound to see plenty of action at least
fifty percent of rhe time.
Biggest head ache to any ticket manager is the request for "anything near the fifty, " abour two weeks
before the big game. The chances of getting a fifty
yard line seat a week before the Hoedunker CollegeHackamore Academy contest are just as good. Few
games are ever so poor in ticket sales that the middle
of the bleachers or grandstand aren't sold out three
months prior to game.
With some 25,000 seats being sold in the Cougar
stadium at Roger's field, not one ticket is pur on sale
that has a limited view, by that we mean, no posts,
steel beams or stair chutes. All bad tickets are removed from sale long before people are thinking about
fall football.
But those fifty yard tickets they just don't exist.
For the most part few colleges will rake checks for
tickets too early. A letter written early enough in the
Spring will assure you of getting in line for the "best
sears." As each month passes, and the football season
draws near, the chances of getting a seat, "near the fifty
yard line, and high enough up to see the mole on cousin
Henry's neck" gets slimmer. Football tickets are like
bon bans at a kids party, the good ones go first.
At Washington State College there are no fifty yard
line seats, you either sit on the 49 yard line or lower.
According to Glenn Oman, ticket manager extraordinary,
there are over 1200 seats between the 40 and 50 yard
lines. These seats are put on sale only after the home
team, coaching staff, alumni groups, those early birds
we were talking about and press and radio are taken
care of. Usually those writing in early enough never
have anything to worry about.

COPR. 1 THE AMERICAN TOBACCO COMPANY
Forest Evashevski
Former Michigan Grid Star Brings
Great Record and Single-Wing Attack to WSC
)])REST EVASHEVSKI, head football coach at Wash_r ington State College, is considered by many sports
authorities the nation over as the "greatest blocking
back in intercollegiate football."
casters still remember "Evy" as the Ann Arbor institution's "one man gang," being blocker and quarterback
for the 1938, '39 and '40 University of Michigan varsity
squads.
The former Michigan great and team captain,
Evashevski was "Mr. Steam Roller" for All-American
Tom H armon on the famous University of Michigan
single wing offense.
Following his graduation from the University of
Michigan, where he majored in sociology and psychology,
Evashevski took to the coaching profession. His first
position was head coach at little Hamilton College in
Clinton, N . Y. Hamilton College wasn't destined to
hold the young mentor long and in the . spring of 1942
he joined the coaching staff of the University of Pittsburgh as backfield coach. Later that year he entered
the United States Navy.
Evashevski graduated from Detroit's Northwestern
High School in 1936. Despite the fact that Evashevski
became a great football player at Michigan, he played
only two games in prep circles, both his senior year.
Until his senior year in high school Evashevski weighed
only 140 pounds. When a senior Evashevski topped the
scales at a healthy 180 pounds.
The football career of Forest Evashevski might have
ended his senior year in high school if it weren't for
his strong determination. Evashevski suffered' a cerebral
hemorrhage his second time on the prep gridiron.
Doctors warned him to give up the game or risk endangering his life.
Intercollegiate football and an opportunity to attend
college attracted Evashevski to the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor in the fall of 1937. From his first
day at Michigan in '3 7 until his final graduation day
in 1941 young Forest Evashevski grew with the fame
of intercollegiate football. Sports writers and broad-
"Evy" saw almost four years with the Navy and he
was discharged with the rank of lieutenant in 1946.
Clarence L. "Biggie" Munn had heard quite a
bit about Evasheski and in 1946 "Evy" put aside his
Navy uniform to join "Biggie" at Syracuse University.
In addition to holding the head backfield coaching spot,
Evashevski was head baseball coach.
When the Michigan State College officials invited
"Biggie" Munn to take over the head coaching chores
at the East Lansing institution he was invited to bring
Forest Evashevski along. In December of 1946
Evashevski was back in the state of Michigan, only this
time as head backfield coach of the Michigan State
Spartans.
While at Michigan State, Forest Evashevski gained
national recognition for the hard playing backs he
coached. In 1947 his men gained 2120 yards carrying
the ball from scrimmage. In 1948 Michigan State
ranked in the nation's first five grid clubs in yards
gained via the ground route with 3301 ; 1949 found the
Spartan backs hauling the pigskin 2 319 yards to again
place them high in national statistics.
Washington State College officials had heard of
Forest Evashevski's ability. When the head coaching
position at WSC was vacated with the resignation of
Phil Sarboe, "Evy" was recommended highly to Cougarville officials.
In late January of 1950 Forest Evashevski was
appointed head football coach at Washington State
College.
To date, "Evy's" Cougars have won two games,
lost one and tied one during the 1950 season. This
game will mark the first Idaho contest for the new
Cougar coach.
