All players reporting for spring practice are asked to bring their own basketball or tennis shoes. The decision was reached after a staff meeting Sat urday. Coach Clark had given some thought, because of the cramped conditions beneath the stadium, to working with 50 of the veterans the first week. All Players to Work Out. The group concensus was that some of the players not called up for the first drills would loose enthusiasm, so it was decided to do 'the best possible job with the entire group from the first day of practice. . "Even now we will be running Into the balmy weather of late April when spring fever attacks most of us, Coach Clark said "We have a big task ahead of us but the enthusiasm of both the coaches and the players leads me to believe there are brighter days ahead for the Cornhuskers." Coaches Assigned Teams. Each assistant coach has been assigned two of the twelve teams which have been listed as units for the drills. The staff has been strengthened by the addition of Fred Lorenz and Jerry Moore, two players who were members of Coach Clark's Cornhusker team in 1945. The various teams have been given names of Nebraska oppo nents. Coaches have been as signed to them as follows: Iowa States and Minnesota, L. F. (Pop) Klein. Colorado and Notre Dame, Ray Proehaska. Kansas and UCLA, Tony Bla zine. Kansas State and Missouri, DouRul Russell. Oklahoma and Oregon State, Fred Lorenz. Pittsburgh and Indiana, Jerry Moore. The first week of drills will be held beneath the east stadium with plays and conditioning re ceiving first attention. "As soon as we are able to move outdoors we will do so," Coach Clark said. "We hope to be scrimmaging at once when the practice fields dry out." The playing abilities have been spread out as evenly as possible throughout the twelve teams.
