Meylan . . . will
lead Nebraska's defensive
charge.
Dennis Thorcll . . . will
push for starting job this
year.
Ben Gregory . . . might
go both ways for the Hus-kers.
"We're going to have to re-evaluate
our concept of defense," said Nebras
ka football coach Bob Devaney as he con
templated this afternoon's scheduled open
ing of spring football drills.
Devaney blames Nebraska's occasion
al breakdowns in pass defense last year
on "lack of quickness in our defensive
linemen."
"This made our pass coverage look
worse than it was," said Devaney, add
ing, "We've got to see if we can't get a
more concentrated pass rush from indi
vidual men."
Back this year to lead Nebraska's de
fensive charge is Bay City, Mich, junior-to-be
Wayne Meylan. The 240-pounder
stopped many of his opponent's plays last
year before they got started and he has
been predicted as a future All-American
by some football critics.
Devaney said Meylan would be used
strictly on defense, either at middle guard
or at a linebacking position and offered
that the Michigan native "has a fine fu
ture in football."
Tackle Spot Open
Also back this year at a defensive line
position is 261-pound tackle Dick Czap.
That leaves.. All-American Walt Barnes'
defensive tackle "spot up for grabs and
Devaney mentioned that Carel Stith would
get a close looking over at that position.
Jim McCord, who's hard-nosed play
as a sophomore earned him a letter,
should also be watched as a candidate
for a defensive position in the line.
The Huskers appear to be well stocked
at the defensive end spots. Nebraska's two
starting defensive ends in 1965, Langston
Coleman and Mike Grace, both sustained
kneeinjurtes lasTyear. Graces' absence
and Coleman's off-and-on performances
forced sophomores to take over the de
fensive end positions.
Devaney came up with Len Janik,
Ivan Zimmer, and Jerry Patton, all of
whom showed they knew how to guard
Nebraska's flanks well enough to letter
in their first year of varsity competition.
Those three juniors-to-be along with
Coleman and Grace are expected to be
ready for the 1966 season but Devaney
said it was doubtful that Grace would be
able to participate in spring practice.
Two Nebraska boys will be missing
from this year's defensive backfield. They
are Mike Kennedy, from Omaha, last
year's defensive captain, and Bill John
son, of Stanton, who Devaney called "the
hardest guy to replace. He was our "mon
ster" or "rover."
Kuehl As Linc-backer
Al Kuel, a sophomore from Wausau,
Wis., was mentioned by Devaney as a
candidate for Johnson's line-backing job.
The Husker coach also hinted that Ben
Gregory might be shifted to defense to be
looked over at one of the backfield po
sitions. Larry Wachholtz, the nation's number
2 punt return man in 1965, will again be
back to anchor the Husker safety position.
Devaney said that Dennis Thorell, a jun
ior from Loomis, would put pressure on
Wachholtz for a starting assignment. Let
terman Ron Poggemeyer will also be vy
ing for the safety spot.
Junior Kaye Carstens and sophomore
Marv Mueller both played their first var
sity defensive football last season and
they will be back this year as two of Ne
braska's top cornermen. Devaney said that
Jim Hawkins, a little heard of junior-to-be
from Jefferson City, Mo., would push
Carstens for a defensive position in the
backfield.
Hawkins had a good freshman year
in 1964 but he sustained a heart injury
in last year's spring sessions which forced
him to sit out the 1965 grid campaign.
Lynn Senkbeil, a two year letterman
and regular last year, along with Rick
Coleman, a 211-pound junior from Pitts
burgh Pa., will be prime candidates for
Husker linebacking jobs this season. Bar
ry Alvarez, a 237-pounder from Burgetts
town, Pa., is also in contention for one
of the posts.
Kansas Relays Adds Women
Programs
It hasn't happened yet, but
Nebraska football coach Bob
Devaney may order programs
printed for spring practice.
Not that the squad for t h e
spring drills which start April
1 is any larger than usual at
the opening gun. The reason
for the concern is that there
are 12 Husker players on the
roster with the same name.
Coach Devaney could
holler, "Hey, Brichacek!"
And he might get Melvin of
Schuyler. But he could mean
Gary of Schuyler, Melvin's
cousin. Gary's a letterman,
Mel is a soph-to-be.
Or Assistant Carl Selmer
could yell, "Come here,
Buda!" And he might get
Sam of Omaha, when he
wanted Joe of Omaha. Yep,
they're cousins, both candi
dates for sophomore line jobs
next fall.
Those are the only family
combinations on the 1966
Cornhusker team. But that's
not the end of the confusion
by a long ways.
There are the Colemans
defensive end Langston of
Washington, D.C., and 1 i n e
backer Rick of Pittsburgh,
Pa., both vets.
Then come the Hansens
Ed Hansen of Omaha, a soph-to-be,
and veteran squadman
Larry of Blair.
Next the Greens Mike of
Omaha and Lauren of Baton
Rouge, La., both bidding for
soph jobs with Mike a grad of
the 1965 frosh team and Laur
ie a transfer. . . , .
Finally, the Thompsons
and this could mean real
mayhem, since both are
Gary: Gary W. of Omaha
and Gary L. of Lincoln.
That's the end of the
Name's The Same, but Coach
Devaney could still have a
few problems when he tries to
make a point in practice.
. Like hollering for "Davis",
meaning soph-to-be Dick of
Omaha, and getting response
from Daiss, soph-to-be Bill
of McCook.
Or Coach Devaney might
get into trouble just by speak
ing to a fan who happened by
practice.
Think of the trouble that
might result if he yelled,
"Hey, Mac!"
After all, there's Curtis Mc
Carthy of Belle Vernon, Pa.
an end; Jim McCord of Fair
bury, a guard; Jim McFar
land of North Platte, an end;
and Neal McQuistan of Pen
der, a halfback.
Like somebody said, it
should be an interesting
spring practice!
EDITORS NOTE: This is a continuation of the DAILY
NEBRASKAN's coverage of spring football around the
Big Eight Conference. Bob Flasnick's coverage of t h e
Cornhusker football preparations for the 1966 season (and
another Big Eight Championship) appears in Thursday
and Friday's papers.
Jayhmvks To Learn Basics
Fundamentals will be the name of the game when
spring footbll practice starts at the University of Kansas
next Friday.
Coach Jack Mitchell has announced that the Jay
hawks will not be concerned with any "tricks" position
changes or type of offense to be used when about 90
candidates report for spring drills. "We're going to learn
basic football," Mitchell said.
Mitchell stated that three lettermen have been ex
cused for practice this spring, end Sandy Buda and Bob
Skahan and Bill Fenton, both quarterbacks. The three vet
erans are expected to "W members of the K. U. base
ball starting line-up.
The Jayhawks will have eight quarterbacks answer
ing spring roll-call. Mitchell said sophomores Tom Ball
(Manhattan), Bob Douglas (El Dorado), Dave Morgan
(Phoenix, Ariz.) and Tom Thompson (Ontario, Calif.)
will join four returning varsity members, Wally Hinshaw
(Wichita), Gipp DuPree (Oklahoma City), Dave Bouda
(Omaha) and Halley Kampschroeder (Lawrence). "Ball,
Dupree, Morgan and Kampschroeder will be used on
both offense and defense," Mitchell said.
The Jayhawks have one new member of the coaching
staff. Bill Schaake, 1952 K. U. graduate, has replaced
Ellis Rainsberger, who resigned to accept the head coach
ing position at Southern Illinois University.
Two more out-of-state prep football players have
signed a Big Eight letter of intent to enroll at the Uni
versity of Kansas next fall. Coach Jack Mitchell an
nounced yesterday that Robert Johnson and John Wall
drop, both of Kearney High School, San Diego, Calif., plan
to join the Jawhawks.
The addition of the two California ace's give the Jay
hawks a total of 33 prep athletes signed this spring. Mitch
ell said he hopes to sign 12 more football players with
in the next few weeks.
OSV Has Reorganized Staff
With a reorganized staff that includes four new
coaches, Oklahoma State's spring football is scheduled to
start April 5th and will conclude May 7th with the annual
intra-squad game.
Coach Phil Cutchin has four new staff members aboard
as the Cowboys lay final preparations for the spring
workouts. Veteran assistants are Elwood Kettler, J i m
Stanley, Tom Ellis and Wayne Freiling.
The recently assigned men are James Dickey from
the University of Houston, Franklin Carter from the Ste
phen F. Austin College staff, Nacogooches, -Tex., Tom
Harper from Eastern Kentucky State University, and Bob
Thompson from Altus High School, Althus, Okla.
"At the start it'll be strictly platoon football," says
Coach Cutchin, and "there'll be experiments."

"I'm sure it's obvious our biggest problem is finding
replacements in our offensive backfield. As for a kicking
specialist, the job's wide open. We've been able to relax
here for the last three seasons, but we'll check everyone
out. We'd like to find a kicker who can play."
Oklahoma State will have 22 lettermen returning to
boost a squad which will be heavily flavored with 43 sophomores-to-be.
"As for the sophomores-to-be," says Cutchin, "we
don't know which ones will do the best right now, but
we do count on them giving us plenty of help next year."
Highlights of the Cowboy's season last year were a
21-17 loss to Nebraska, a 31-7 victory over Kansas State,
and a 17-i6 win over Oklahoma U which ended the Soon
er's dominance in their traditional battle with Oklahoma
State.
Oklahoma State's first game will be against Arkan
