BOISE COLLEGE COACHES From left: Ray Lewis, football line coach, wrestling, and track coach, Murray Satterfield, assistant back coach, team scout, and basketball coach, Bus Connor, football back coach, equipment manager, and tennis coach, and Bill A. Jones, trainer, Ray Lewis, who played for BJC in 1949 and 1950, coaches the linemen on the football team, the wrestlers, and the track and field men to round out a complete year of sports. Taking little time to rest, Lewis also teaches various classes as the other coaches do while actively working with a team of athletes. Murray Satter- field completed his third basketball season in 1968 after taking his boys to Hutchinson, Kansas for the second time in a row, and sees a great season next year using returning stars of both '67 and '68. Bus Connor, who came to BC from Idaho State, is backfield coach of the football team. He became equipment manager primarily for football when Boise College's gymnasium was remodeled for the fall of 1968 and four-year gridiron play. Connors also handles the ten- nis team and has done so since he came to BC in 1966. Bill Jones, athletic trainer, took over the training duties in 1967. He was a former manager for the Broncos and played football at one time under Lyle Smith. Jones also teaches physical education courses as part of his job. .mg

LYLE SAA On January 1, 1968, Lyle Smith stepped from his posi- tion of 22 years to become Boise College's first full- time athletic director. With him, went an amazing record of 159 wins, 25 losses, and six ties. At the halftime ceremonies of Smith's t1nal game he said, I feel humble on a day like this, but these young men fand he pointed to the players of the 1967 squad lined along the sidelinesl and those who have played for me in the past have made it possible. I am thankful that I live in a nation, state, and community that stands for competitive athletics. November 18, 1967 was proclaimed l'LyIe Smith Day by both Boise City Mayor Jay Amyx and Idaho Governor Don Samuelson. It was the last time that Coach Smith led his Broncos onto the gridiron field. The win that day climaxed 22 years of college coaching and earlier seasons in high school athletics. ASB President Ernie Weber presents Lyle Smith with a trophy in appreciation for his work at Boise College. HH DAY Coach Smith pauses in his discussion with Jim Bianchi to watch the play in motion before he decides on which tactics to switch to next.
