rt teaches more than football at La Verne

By Tom Kra ovic 1 rr wr1 r Th journali t I

Ort's students, male and female, throw footballs and they throw base- balls They throw knives and darts. They throw staples, boomerangs, javeli and rocks. But they no long- er throw hatchets. That got too ex- pensive, Ort says. Some are mOrt's archery class as well. Like bowmen defending a cas- tle, they hoot arrows onto the foot- ball field from the science building. They also shoot arrows at clouds. I figure anybody that shoo a bow and arrow would like to see how high it would go," explains Ort, chuckling. Ort also teaches students, most of them suburbanites from greater Los Angeles, how to kayak, fish and climb rocks. Tomorrow, he'll bring 40 students to the Um rsit of San Die o. These students are in his football class. One might call them football players, but that would be unfair by Ort's way of thinking, just as it would be unfair to call him a coach, even though he's been coaching football at La Verne the last 41 years. They are merely students who also play football. He is merely a teacher, an athletic direc- tor, a citizen, a grandfather, a father and a husband who also coaches.

Play-calling? That's for the players. "It's the concept that the only rea- son you play the game is because there are some fellas who want to play it," says Ort, who played his football at Northwestern in the late '30s. "I thir.k it's far more serious (at La Verne) than the University of Michigan's program. Mine is serious about life, not football." Such a philosophy may not be unique, but Ort is. "He's just got his way," says USO coach Brian Fogarty, who has known Ort for eight years. "As far as what other coaches think, I know every- body thinks his style is a bit unusual. I know I wouldn't want to use his methods. But you've got to coach your own way. He's had a winning record (180-174-6) over (41} years ... I know this: He really is a fun guy to know, a good guy." Fogarty predicts that coaches such as Ort will become even rarer be- cause a coach who fails to study an opponent and avail himself of mod- ern technology will seldom win. An ABC reporter told Ort he was "the last of a breed." And Ort? "Let's say that I think I'm a ripple of the wave of the future. We've got

to get sport turned around so it doesn't have this concept where win- ning out-measures all else. I think it's very important to win, but it doesn't out-measure all else. High schools and collegiate institutions need to help sport reidentify itself. Let the professional team take care of it- self." That got Ort talking about his nephew's mployer. On Sundays, as Ort washes the La Verne uniforms, he also watches the Chargers. He did so during the Chargers' 17-16 loss to the Seahawks Sunday. His reactions reveal an inner spirit that is no less competitive than that of Bo Schem- beebler. "They simply blew the last one," Ort says in disgust. "But then, my golly, look at the Rams on Monday night. They acted like they did not know the game of football in the last two minutes. How can guys be paid what they are paid standing 4 yards deep in the the end zone letting a pass be completed in front of them that wins the game? "It looks like it's rigged. I kid my nephew all the time: 'Steve, this pro ball is rigged.' "He just smiles. He knows I'm a little bit off my rocker." /

low and senous, so Roland Ortmayer, who 1 72, quick and Jocular, spells things out for him. "T•H·R-0 W-1-N-G,'' he said. It's right there in the University of La Vern syllabus Class. Throwmg. Instructor: Ort- mayer But no one calls htm Ortmayer. Save that for his nephew, Steve, the Ch rg rs director of football opera- ns. Call Roland •Ort." These days, Ort ls gethn more national publici- ty th n hi nepbev. gets in a year, and positive, too. There was that spread in Sports /Jlustrated last month, th interviews with ABC and CB la t week But what"s this "Throwing" all about Ort' ?.ell, I Just looked at activities in our culture, and our culture calls for a lot of throwing, but no one teaches it,'' Ort explained "I really feel there are fellas pitching in the majors who really ar not taught, they've only been selected ''Our culture 1s great at selecting, but not o bot at teaching. So I decid- ed we hould spend a little time t chmg people how lo throw."

In a sport - if Division I and III football can be lumped together - that has beeome hyperspecialized and ultralucrative, Ort stands out as much as a witch doctor at an AMA convention. Literally. Ort's hair is not the slick wave of the future, like that of Jimmy Johnson and Barry Switzer, but the flat stubble of the past. But it is his laissez-faire approach to coaching that most sets him apart - not only from Division I coaches but his Division III rivals. Most coaches watch film of their opponents. If Ort can't scout an oppo- nent in person, the only film he watches has actors in it. Weightlifting? That's for construc- tion workers, not Ort's athletes. Man- datory practice' That's for doctors.
