Such were the words of Joe Huston, coach of the Lewis & Clark Pioneers when asked how he compared his current outfit with the mem orable gang of a few years ago, the one that boasted Reuben . (The Tank) Baisch. That one wss a dinger, as most folks will quickly recall, and some figured it was just as good as any small-college football team in Jhe land.
