North Dakota Quarterback Injured;
Sioux Open Tomorrow Against MSU
By Bob Besom
North Dakota coach Whitey
Helling has been harassed by
"nuisance-type injuries" dur
ing the initial weeks of 1961
gridiron drills.
H-Hing, starting his fifth
season as the head Sioux
man, will be without his num
ber one quarterback prospect
for tomorrow's opener against
Montana State.
A shoulder injury has side
lined co-captain Bill Leifur
for the initial clash and may
keep him out of action when
the Sioux invade Cornhusker
land next Saturday.
Halfback Dave Hummel, a
transfer from Bismarck Jun
ior College, has taken over
quarterback chores until Lei
fur is given an okay by his
doctor.
Leifur was the starting
Sioux quarterback in 'GO
when North Dakota finished
in a second place tie in the
North Central race. They
ended with a 4-3-1 record last
season.
The North Dakota coaching
staff has sixteen letter men
with which to mold the squad
of forty-five, which appears
to have an adequate back
field, but spotty line strength,
Co-captains Gene Tetrault
and Gary Sukut, who played
on the same prep team at
Williston, N.D., combine to
make the ends one of the
team's stronger positions.
The University of North
Dakota schedule shapes up as
the toughest Sioux gridders
have faced since before World
War II.

Army ROTC
Wins Praise
The University's R.O.T.C.
program has received a com
mendation from Fifth Army
Headquarters f o r the high
quality of the graduates who
earned performance ratings
above the Fifth Army's aver
ages and the national aver
ages. The commendation was
made by Col. John F. Brown
low, Jr., Fifth Army chief-of-staff
, to Chancellor Clifford
M. Hardin. .
Forty-two per cent of the
Nebraska graduates ranked
in the upper third of the Fifth
Army's standing, 39 per cent
in the second, and 19 per cent
in the lowest. The Fifth Ar
my's averages for the same
categories are 38 per cent,
34 per cent, and 27 per cent.
Russell Denies
Move to Mizzou
Varsity basketballer Tom
Russell has denied another re
port of leaving Nebraska, this
time to go to Missouri on a
transfer program. Earlier this
year Russell denied a report
he would transfer to Kansas
State. ''
The six foot-six inch senior
center was one of three who
were selected for a wild life
management plan which
would enable him to enroll
at Missouri without the usual
out of state fees for the pur
pose of specializing in the
wild life field.
Russell stated he would
rather stay at the University
and receive a background in
zoology, then specialize later
in graduate school.

Big Eight Roundup
Early Reports
Indicate Position
Battles in Big 8
The Big Eight football chase
should be a real dandy this
year. All but two teams are
considered title threats and
early reports from fall train
ing camps indicate spirited
battles for positions at every
school.
"In the Bie Eiaht." savs
Sports Illustrated magazine,
"strength is dispersed among
so many good teams that the
race for the conference title
could be the country's most
exciting. Missouri almost tne
same team that many thought
deserved No. 1 ranking over
Minnesota last year, may
have to fight for fourth posi
tion in the conference behind
Kansas, Colorado and Okla
homa.
At Kansas, the pre-season
pick of the Big Eight coaches,
a new candidate, Z5-year old
junior Jim Marshall, has in
jected himself into Kansas'
much-discussed left hauoacK
picture, according to reports.
Marshall, who earned var
sity status primarily thru un
abated hustle, has climbed
into the fight for the injured
Bert Coan's vacant slot in the
Jayhawk backfield.
Hugh Smith, former Ne
braska frosh gridder, current
ly has a firm grip on the
starting left half spot.
Oklahoma State had it's
first scrimmage last Satur
day and Coach Cliff Speegle
had these comments to make:
"If we had been playing
Saturday there is no telling
how bad Iowa State would
have beaten us. We've a long
way to go." (Oklahoma State
open against Iowa State Sept.
30)
When asked what individ
uals have Improved the most
since practice started, Spee
gle praised fullbacks Bobby
Adcock, Bill McFarland and
Tommy Jackson.
"They make this the strong
est position on the team and
we are going to play all three
of them in our top units
somewhere, he said.
Iowa State seems offensive
ly set for their opener tomor
row against Drake. The Cy
clones will start Jim Clapper
at quarterback, Dave Hopp
mann at left half, J. W. Bur
den at right halfback and
Dave Clayberg at full.
Coach Clay Stapleton has
been involved in an almost
complete rebuilding process
this fall. Only two full-time
regulars are back along with
the two guards who shared
duties at the left side of cen
ter. Hoppman, who led the Big
Eight in rushing with a Cy
clone record total of 844 yards ;
and Dan Celoni, one of the
best guards in Iowa State
history, are the regulars re
turning for action. Dick Sce
sniak (defense) and Carl Pro
to (offense) shared the left
guard spot last year.
This means' eight new men
have broke into the starting
lineup. They range from tiny
senior end Steve Sturek (156
pounds) to hulking junior tac
kle Don Andersen (245). All
but two of the probable start
ers are lettermen and all had
some action last year.
Two Husker s9
Former Coaches
Reunited Here
Two members of the Ne
braska football team are
again playing for their high
school coaches.
Right end Mike Eger played
his high school football for
assistant coach George Kelly
at South Bend, Ind., and quar
terback John Faimon played
for assistant coach Cletus
Fischer at Omaha South.
