4 The University... Bowling Green State University is an integral part of the system of higher education maintained by the State of Ohio. It is governed by a Board of Trustees appointed by the Governor and is supported almost entirely by legislative appropriations. A 9 General Assembly act authorized an appointed commission to seek a site in northwestern Ohio for a new normal school. Bowling Green was selected and trustees were appointed in 9 with the first president elected in 9. The college known as Bowling Green Normal College opened in temporary quarters in September 94, and one year later moved into two new buildings on the present campus. In 99 the General Assembly changed the name to Bowling Green State College. The present name was authorized by the 9 Assembly. The university is composed of four main divisions: College of Education College of Liberal Arts, College of Business Administration and the Graduate School. Courses are offered in forty-three different departments, and the school is recognized by most accrediting agencies. The university is located on a tract of 4 acres in the northestern part of Bowling Green. Over fifty campus buildings are available this year. An addition to the library and conversion of the old heating plant building into a journalism building are the only building projects in process. The city of Bowling Green with a population of,8 is located miles south of Toledo at the intersection of U. S. routes and. The New York Central railroad, a branch of the Baltimore and Ohio and Greyhound bus lines, serve the city. The university is co-educational with a 9 spring enrollment of,4 The breakdown shows, men and,8 women. The anticipated enrollment for 9- is,4. The highest pre-war enrollment was,.

5 The Coach. Robert H. (Bob) Whittaker is one of Ohio's most successful football coaches both as a scholastic and collegiate mentor. Whittaker is beginning his twentythird year as a coach with the start of the 9 season. Twenty-two of these years JHHP* he has served as a head coach, only in his first year in the profession did he work as an assistant. Coming out of college in 99, Bob ^ signed to aid Jim Nicholson in football and track at Sandusky, Ohio high school. Nicholson left the next year for University of Toledo and the young Miami star took over and started his climb up football's ladder of success by quickly raising the Blue Streaks to a gridiron power. jjbb From 9 to 9 the Streaks won 8 consecutive games five more than amassed at Massillon by the popular Paul flh^hhhk il9 ^ Brown. The 9, 9, 94, 9 and 98 teams were undefeated. He developed such later Ohio State stars as Charles Maag, Edward Bruckner and Leonard Thom. His -year record as the Streaks' H head man reads 8 victories, defeats and ties. Meanwhile, Frank J. Prout, the progressive Sandusky superintendent of schools, moved to Bowling Green as presi- Bob Whittaker dent. In 94 a reorganization in the athletic department called for a new head football coach. Whittaker was induced to leave the fine Sandusky setup and take over the Falcons. In his initial season, the Falcons chalked up one of the best records in the state with seven victories against one defeat and a tie. At the end of the season Whittaker was nominated as an Ohio candidate for the "coach of the year" award. During the four war years Bob kept football alive in BG, often piecing together teams composed of Navy V- men and civilians but always managed a winning season. In the five year post war period, the 948 season was most successful as the Falconers were unbeaten. A -all tie with John Carroll was the only mar on the slate. The last two years have been Whittaker's poorest of his fine coaching career. In 949 the Falcons won four of nine while last year's record showed three wins, four losses and two ties. Whittaker's -year coaching mark at BG reads wins, 9 losses and ties for an overall coaching mark of 9 victories, 49 losses and 8 ties for a respectable.9 average. Born in Greenville, Ohio, Bob attended high school at Lorain and Norwalk, taking part in four years of football. At Miami University he played halfback where his teammate was Paul Brown, the Cleveland Browns' coach and general manager. Whittaker also took part in track at the Oxford school, running the dashes and throwing the javelin to a college record. He was graduated from Miami with a degree of bachelor of science in education. Bob took graduate work at Ohio State but received his master of Arts from Bowling Green in 94.

LOST 4... TIED The Style of Play SYSTEM GROUND ATTACK AERIAL ATTACK KICKING GAME KICKOFFS POINTS AFTER Bob Whittaker's T-formation The running attack, featuring quick opening line plays and off tackle smashes, will be led by veterans Dick Pont and Fred Durig. Lettermen Bob Gwin, Benny Pate and Dick Zeigler add plenty of reserve talent. Senior Rex Simonds will again be BG's chief passer with freshmen Bill Lyons and Jerry Barner working into the lineup as the season progresses. They will have some excellent targets in - Jim Ladd. -4 Phil White and veteran Gene Aldridge. Simonds, who averaged nearly yards per boot last year, and sophomore Warren Trenary, a powerful and longer kicker, should make this department very strong. The capable Hal Dunham has graduated after three years of kicking them over the goal line. Ollie Glass, who helped Vic Janowicz with this job at Elyria, looks like the top choice. Glass should hold forth at this job also with left-footed Bill Butson working in at times.

9 Prospects For ' Bob Whittaker starts his th season at BG faced with only a small nucleus from the 9 squad that won three, lost four and tied two. There are 4 lettermen available. Eight are linemen and six backs but several only saw limited action as reserves last season. Twenty-two lettermen were lost by graduation including four-year veterans Gordon Ackerman, Mel Augenstein, all-ohio guard Leroy Silvani and many of the reserve corps. The BG success in ' depends to a large extent on the sophomore and freshmen to fill in as capable reserves. Whittaker's backfield possibilities look most promising. Rex Simonds, who did most of the quarterbacking last year, is back to maneuver the T-formation. Freshmen Jerry Barner and Bill Lyons will provide the reserve strength as the season progresses. Junior Norm Decker was counted on heavily to spell Simonds but academic ineligibility took him out of the picture. Little Dick Pont, last year's leading ground gainer with yards, will hold forth at right halfback with sophomores Glenn Smalley and Walt Levy backing him up. Letterman Bobby Gwin, a speedster like Pont, will be pushed at left halfback by Benny Pate, a letter-winning defensive specialist last fall, Pate is an elusive, change of pace runner and might be used as a dual performer. Sophomore John Ladd will also see some duty. Big Fred Durig will be back at fullback but senior Dick Ziegler will give his fellow-mansfield townsman a good battle for the job with good reserve strength in Rollie Oatley and freshman Hugh Schick. Overall the backfield will have excellent speed with Durig as the power runner. Simonds looks improved as a passer and should get plenty of help from Barner and Lyons before the season is over. In the line Whittaker has most of his problems, especially at the guards. Veteran Ollie Glass should handle the center spot in the style which brought him some all-ohio recognition last year. With four lettermen tackles, Whittaker probably will move Paul Schieg and Claude Shanks to guards. Charles Bronz and Sheldon Lifschitz, reserve guards, will also be in for some action. Rol Wrightsman will alternate between center and guard. Lettermen Bill Butson and Bruce Falb will be the regular tackles with sophomore Maynard White certain to move in with experience. Darrell Clay, back from army tour, will be a defensive cog. Gene Aldridge will capably handle one end job with - Jim Ladd, one of the best prospects in years at BG, moving in at the other flank. Lettermen Phil White will be available with junior Bob Hallett giving this position a good outlook. With these receivers, the BG aerial game should be much improved over last year's feeble attempt. Overall the Falcons will have an abundance of speed. The attack, which was concentrated on the ground last year, will gain some diversity this year with better receivers for Simonds. Defensively, the Falcons should show some improvement alos. A few key linemen will have to be used on both offensive and defense especially early in the season until freshmen and sophomore talent comes along.

27 The Athletic Program Football is one of nine sports in which Bowling Green teams participate on an intercollegiate level. The basketball team is annually one of the nation's top cage teams. In the past eight years, Falcon quintets have participated in five National Invitational tournaments. In August, 9, the team made a one month tour of Brazil upon the invitation of the Brazilian Confederation of Basketball. A rugged -game schedule will get underway on December, with 8 lettermen and a host of promising freshmen and sophomore talent on hand. The swimming team, coached by Sam Cooper, is one of the midwests's leading squads. The Falcons won the Central Collegiate Conference meet last year, as the host team, after taking nine of dual meets. Although not as fortified with letterman as last year, Cooper should have another strong squad to send against such foes as Michigan, Michigan State, Iowa State and other powerhouses. Track and cross country are handled by Dave Mathews. The harriers won seven of 9 meets last fall and another fine season is expected. The BG Relays is a big event on the track schedule which also includes several dual meets and competition in the Central Collegiate and all-ohio college meets. Graduate assistant George Bender will take over the wrestling squad, coming from Michigan State where he had a fine mat career. Kent, Ohio University, Case, Western Reserve are some of the mat foes. Besides track, baseball, golf and tennis appear on the spring program. Veteran Warren Steller is in charge of the baseball team which competes with Ohio State, Ohio University, Kent State, Wayne and Michigan Normal. The golf squad, coached by Don Cunningham, took seventh place in Ohio Intercollegiate tournament last spring. A veteran team returns next spring. The tennis squad ran into some stiff competition against such powers as Toledo, Wayne, Michigan Normal and Detroit last spring and won only one match against 8 setbacks. The win-loss record of all sports during the 9- school year follows: Football Cross Country,. Basketball Swimming Wrestling Baseball Track Golf Tennis Total
