Wednesday, April 5, 1961 The Nebraskan Page 3 Jennings Expects 23- 'Vets For Opening of Spring Drills By Dave Wohlfarth Spring football practice be gins Monday with Coach Bill Jennings welcoming 68 Com husker hopefuls for the 20-day drills. The 1961 roster includes 23 lettermen and one more, Bernie Clay, will be eligible in September. Clay dropped out of school at the start of the second semester but plans to return next fall. With this much experience on hand Jennings biggest problems are replacing Don Fricke at center and Pat Fischer at quarterback. Mick Tingelhoff, 210-pound senior from Lexington, is the lone returning letterman at center but help is expected in the form of several new comers. This group includes sophs Larry Krause, Duncan Drum, Chuck Garner, Pat Knolla, Ron Michka (a 1960 sauadman) and Lyle situer, Two lettermen return at quarterback Ron Meade, the Huskers place-kicking ex pert and John Faiman, jun ior from Omaha. A third candidate for the job is Den nis Claridge, a 1960 squad man who was held out of competition after an eligibili ty technicality prohibited him from playing in early games. Other quarterback candi dates are Ernie Bonistall, Jim Little and Ron Gilbreath. Position Changes Key position changes will be tried by Jennings in order to fill the weak spots at half back and add more fullback strength. Bill (Thunder) Thornton will be moved from fullback to left halfback and B i 1 1 Comstock, left end, will be given a whirl at fullback. The success of these changes depends on the suc cess of a second knee opera tion on Noel Martin, Husker fullback. If Martin is able to go at full speed, then he and Comstock should give the Huskers a good one-two full back punch while Thornton may be more effective at halfback. Comstock originally came to Nebraska as a back but was switched to end last year. Jennings commented, We're in the position of a baseball team at this time, trying' to strengthen up the middle, at center, quarter back and fullback. We'll have to play some sophomores, "If we can get help trom Comstock at fullback, and if Martin's knee holds up we mav be able to leave Thorn ton at left halfback. Other wise we may have to move him back." Returning lettermen include left ends Comstock, Larry Donovan and Jim Huge; left tackles Georee Haney and Bob Jones; left guards, Ty rone Robertson, Dwain Carl son and Dallas Dyer; center Tingelhoff; right guard Gary Toogood; right tackles Arcnie Cobb and Al Fischer and right ends Dick McDaniel, Don Pur cell and Pat Salerno. Quarterbacks Meade and Faiman; left halfbacks War ren Powers, Gene Ward and Thornton; right halfs Pat Clare and Dennis Stuewe; and fullback Martin. Promising Newcomers Possible . newcomers who may break into the starting lineup include Bob Brown, 245-pound right tackle from Cleveland, Ohio; Claridge; Clarence Osentowski, 243 pounder from Ord at right guard; and centers Drum and Sittler. . ' : ' The Huskers, who plan to use the straight and wing-T again this year, have one coaching change. George Kelly, former Notre- Dame gridder, succeeds Russ Faulk inberry as an asssitant coach.

STICK DEODORANT . . f,l S M U iTO M By Hal Brown Nebraska s mound corps will take an outstanding 2.52 earned run average into the opening series of the Big Eight campaign Friday and Saturday against Oklahoma State on the Husker dia mond. . . A twinbill with the defend ing conference champions is slated for 1:30 p.m. Friday with a single game set for the same time Saturday. Coach Tony Sharpe's hurl ers probably will have to maintain the low ERA mark if the Huskers hope to sal vage a win in the upcoming series. Nebraska has an ane mic team batting average of .198. ' "We'll hit better than that," Sharpe says, "but we'll still have to depend on good pitching and a tight de fense this season. "We know that fellows like Rex Swett, Dick Becher and Jerry Harris will hit better than they did on the southern trip." Harris, one of last year s mainstays, is hitting .222 while Swett is at .105 and Becher is hitting only .095. "All three were hitting the ball good in the five games down South, but they were hitting it right at somebody," Sharpe commented. The Husker mentor also was pleased with the work of Dave Myers behind the plate.

"He threw out the four or five fellows who tried to steal on him." The Huskers won two of five games on the southern tour with one game being rained out. "Overall, I was pleased with the performance of the boys," Sharpe said. The -Nebraska pitching staff has allowed only 12 earned runs in 42 2-3 innings with three of the hurlers owning ERAs of 3.00 or less. Ed Johnson, a sophomore righthander from Ute, Iowa, is the. leader in this depart ment. He hasn't given up an earned run in nine innings of work. The 6-2, 185-pounder has no decisions. Southpaw Ron Havekost and Righthander Ernie Boni stall, both sophomores, , are below the 3.00 mark. Have kost has a 1.12 ERA for eight innings and Bonistall is 1.M for five innings. Tom Ernst owns a 3.00 ERA and a 1-1 won-lost rec ord. The righthander front Columbus has worked In nintj innings. Veteran Jan Wall picked up the other Husker win and the junior righthander vas also charged with one of the losses. He has a respectable 3.37 ERA and leads the team in batting with a .600 mark.

Plentyl Consider the problem. Western Elec tric manufactures the switching systems which connect some 60-million Bell telephones throughout the U. S. The average call over today's electromechanical system requires 420 relay operations. All together, this intercon necting equipment makes up the heart of what is, in effect, the world,' largest machine. That's where "Western Electric and you come in. The switching equipment for this "machine", involves an enormous manufactur ing job carried on by our plants throughout the country. Because of the size and service ' requirements involved, we require quality standards far exceeding those of ordinary manufacturing. The size of this job presents an unusual challenge to the engineer who may save the Bell System many thousands of dollars by even a small cost-reduction step. While today's switching calls for a priority on engineering, tomorrow's will be even more exciting. For even now the revolutionary Elec tronic Central Office is under field trial and promises to remake the world of telephony. Future Western Electric engineers, working closely with their counterparts at Bell Tele phone Laboratories, will concentrate heavily on developing manufacturing methods for this ECO equipment. Your Western Electric assignments may cover many of our other responsibilities as the world's leading communications manu facturer. Perhaps you'll work on advances in microwave transmission, or even on satellite communications. Joining Western Electric may well be your Tight connection.
