This is 62 and he caught a pass and recovered a fumble, maybe playing a different position than center that year, maybe played both sides of the ball?
Game No. 62 - 1962, Missoula
The Bobcats take a 13-0 lead at Dornblaser Field before Terry Dillon strikes for three touchdowns and 115 yards rushing as UM romps in surprising fashion.
There's talk of a new conference forming that for the first time will include both the Grizzlies and the Bobcats. This is billed as a mythical league title game.
Quarterback Paul Miller of Miles City, one of four seniors in the Grizzly backfield, turns a fake field goal into a touchdown early in the fourth quarter. He takes the snap, rolls right and hits Pat Dodson of Shelby from 18 yards out to put UM up 29-19.
Dillon's 17-yard interception return adds a clinching score.
The Bobcats grab an early lead on Butte Central alum Bill Mulcahy's 5-yard pass to Gordie Schlabs of Kalispell; a fumble recovery by Schlabs, and a short plunge by Bucky May. May scores again in the second period on a 10-yard interception return to put the Cats ahead 19-14 at intermission.

This is great stuff! I'm glad you guys started the conversation about
Gordie Schlabs.
http://flatheadbeacon.com/2015/11/04/le ... ht-lights/
Nearly every Friday night in fall for the last 60 years, Gordon Schlabs has found himself at a football field one way or another.
It all began when he was a teenager growing up in Kalispell and learning the sport at Rawson Field, home of the vaunted Flathead Braves football team. It was there where he developed a love for the sport, watching the great Flathead teams of the 1950s play for state titles. Only a few years later, when Schlabs was a senior in 1958, he helped guide the Braves to the Class AA state championship. Over the next six decades, football took Schlabs across the state, to Montana State University where he kept playing and to other cities, such as Laurel and Billings, where he coached high school teams.
Last Friday night, it all came full circle as Schlabs, 74, took the field in Legends Stadium, formerly Rawson Field, and earned well-deserved recognition for 35 years as a coach and educator and 20 years as an official for the Montana High School Association.
.....
Schlabs went right into coaching after college and spent several years as a football and wrestling coach in Laurel, Livingston, Helena and Billings. In 1999, he retired and moved back home to the Flathead Valley. But his passion for football continued and he picked up officiating football games. He went on to earn the highest certification in the state as a Master official in recent years and worked playoff games in the twilight of his career. He worked his final varsity game in 2014 at the age of 73.

I think MSU has really been doing a great job with social media. I have an idea that whoever is in charge of creating these countdown stories is taking it real serious while writing some excellent content. I will wager that this year's countdown to kickoff will make it all the way to Gold Rush.

Remember that we had Stenerud as a speaker at a Ranger booster dinner in probably 1975... He was very enjoyable to talk to...

Nice, #73 lists my late father-in-law, Hal Walker 1956. He must have had other numbers in other years.

Found this pic of him in Little Rock before the Nati game. Far right.

Also this classic image from the '56 National Championship. Can't tell the numbers of the players though.
