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.

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.

"Dave did a real good job
for us and his arm looked
strong," Sharpe said. "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.
Dale Anderson, a sopho
more infielder, is second in
hitting with a .429 average.

What's it take to make the right connection?
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.
