Team strengths are experi

cause of this, might play
three guards all the time, with
veterans Gary Garner (5-11
senior), Charlie Rudd (6-0 jun

Rudd, because he jumps well,
will probably be on the inside
where he can work the board.
Two-year lettermen. Don
Early (6-5 senior) and George
Flamank (6-5 senior), provide
back-line strength and experi
ence. Team problems are loss of
Ray Bob Carey and Bob Price
which will hurt scoring poten
tial (these two averaged al
most 40 points last year).
Carey also was leading re
bounder of team, which was
one of Tigers weak points
last year and will not be j
helped considerably this year
because of lack ot neigni

rapid development of sopho

Team problems include
finding replacement of versa
tile Farrell Johnson and Jim
Kaiser, who was the team's

height is expected to be a fac

Hey, Norge.
Yeah, Dog?
I see where we're losing fourteen seniors from the
football team.
Gee. that's sure going to hurt our chances in t h e
Cotton Bowl.
I was referring to next year's team, stupid. Where
do you think we'll suffer the most?
It looks to me like the offensive line will lose a lot
of experience.
But how about the backficld? We won't be seeing Mc
Cloughan, Hohn, Smith and Tucker, any more.
Yes. but with Wilson, Solich, Kirkland, Churchich,
plus Charlie Winters from the freshman team, the back
field problem should resolve itself fairly well.
We shouldn't have too much trouble at the end slots
with Grace. Jeter, White and Coleman back, although I
hate to see Doepke, Koinzan and Love gone.
Where HAS Love gone?
Pul-eeez.
Don't forget that we'll only lose one player from the
Blackshirt squad, Joe McNulty.
We could very well be the top defensive team in the
nation next year.
Speaking of the top. we were first in five out of six
Big Eight offensive-defensive statistics. Oklahoma averaged
1.1 yards more in rushing to nudge us out in that depart
ment. That's only eight more yards all year.
What do you think tiie Big Eight will look like next
year?
1 have no idea. ' '
Come on, say something, nobody will read the column
this far anyway.
OK: Nebraska to repeat: Oklahoma, tough as always;
Missouri, they'll be in the light: Kansas, downhill slide;
Oklahoma State, first division possibilities; Colorado, on
the upswing; Kansas State, will improve; Iowa State, poor
Clay Stapleton.
Do you sec any big surprises?
Yes, if any of my predictions prove true.
