door workout of the spring season.
Coach Owen Frank has been work
ing for the past few weeks with the
backfield candidates while Leo Sher
er and Ross McGlasson are assisting
in tutoring the warm weather en
thusiasts. Sherer will continue to
work with the prospects for the wing
positions while McGlasson will take
charge of the linemen.
Practice will continue throughout
