t x Clayburn ame Lineup As Game Opens Football fans here will take t-ii iuuk. at the 1953 Plattsmouth high school grid team in action Friday night when Coach Gerald Clayburn's Blue Devils are host to Auburn. But the fans won't know un til game time who will be in the starting line-up. In fact, Clay burn was still doubtful about the starting eleven yet this morning. He pointed out that the starting lineup will depend considerably on whether the Devils will kick or receive. Part of Clayburn's doubt is reflected in an injury sustained by Junior Fullback Grover Cun dall. It is doubtful if Cundall will be ready for full-time duty Friday night. As a result, some adjustments will have to be made in the starting eleven. With Cundall sidelined, Jon Schuetz has been running from the tailback spot in grid drills this week. He'll also see action from the quarterback slot. If hot and cold packs relieve the swelling and pain in Condall's ankle, he may see limited duty Friday night. For the most part, Clayburn hasn't been too happy with drills this week. The new grid mentor found that the Monday morn ing drill was virtually a flop, while the Tuesday workout was only a little better. That night a 2'z hour scrimmage ended at 7 p. m. It was followed by IV2 hours of hard contact Wednes day night. The squad will be out on the field again tonight for last min ute brushing up under the lights. Clayburn said the squad wiU run through signals tonight, go down under punts, practice kickoffs and will also go through some contact work. While he declined to name a starting lineup, Clayburn listed some of the players that have been showing up well in prac tice. While they may not draw starting assignments, they are certain to see a lot of action in the Auburn opener. The squad is generally in good physical shape except for Cun dall. Dan Huebner is back in suit after missing practice when he suffered a cracked nose, and End Byron Finnefrock has been having some trouble with his teeth. Clayburn seemed pleased with the defensive play of coming Druecker, a junior, and Larry Pierce, also a junior, have checked out equipment. Pierce has been learning plays at half back and Druecker has been shewing promise at guard and tackle. Freshman Mike Lewis, burly 210-pounder, though inexperi enced is scheduled to see a lot 01 action during the campaign. Picking the starting lineup isn't Clayburn's only problem. H-3 was still wondering this morning what suits the Devils will wear. New suits, delivered several weeks ago, had to be re turned for alterations. The new suits, silver fronts and blue backs, are expected to arrive to day. The Devils will wear their blue jerseys with silver numer als from a year ago. Athletic Director Merle Stew art learned late Wednesday that the new suits will be delivered today, Thursday. Plattsmouth is expected to field a starting lineup that will show weight up front, but will be light in the backfield. With Cundall doubtful starter, Jon Schuetz will be the big man in the backfield. The Devils will average about 170 pounds in the line. The game is scheduled for 8:15. at Memorial Athletic field Friday night, September 11.
