Monday, March 26, 1962 The Daily Nebraskan, Ninety Hopefuls Listed On Spring Grid Roster Devaney Has Vets Back at Every Position By BOB BESOM I Sports Staff Writer Something new?? con veyed by a glance at the over-all Cornhusker grid situa tion goins into next week's initial spring football session a note of optimism. 'k roster of 90 one of the higgest turn-outs a Husker coach has had in years , will be on hand for the first spring action, April 2. iAnd the new Nebraska mentor Bob Deveney will be able to station veterans at every position if he desires. Although the former Wy oming head man is nsea to spring squads of 100, he fig ures he will have enough to work with at Nebraska. There are 25 returning let- tArmpn and eight of the 61 Nsm starters returning. But the Husker staff is already wor ried about a lack in depth. Devaney has pointed out that although there are good backs, there aren't enough. The end and center spots, al though the roster lists quite a number of prospects, may provide another brow wrinkler for the new staff. And de fensive linebaSkers could Drove to be still another problem. "We certainly are going to try to find more depth," said Devauey, "but we're not sure iust where it will come from." The 62 squad will be miss ing only nine lettermen from last fall while some u piay ers who were on the varsity squad last year are expected out this spring. The big losses were ends Dick McDainiel and Don Fur- cell, guard Dallas Dyer, cent ers Mick Tingelhoff and George Haney and backs Ron- Meade and Fat Clare Although Devaney and his staff are reserving judgment until they see the squad in action, a study of films of last fall's games has indicated that more speed is needed in the line. Devaney believes the backs possess more speed than his ball handlers at Wy oming bnt figures the line to be slower. The staff has been im pressed by the attitude of the squad. The players have been working out on their own to get m shape for the six weeks of spring onus, to be clr maxed by an intrasquad game on All Sports Day Mai 12. Srping drills will include four sessions a week, coming Fridays and Saturday mor nings. A backfield of Bill "Thund-i er" Thorton, an All-American prospect billed for the fullback position, Rudy John son and Willie Ross at the halfback spots, and Denney Claridfs at quarterback, is considered a top-notch quar tet, but some promising un derstudies may crack the starting line-up. Boosting fullback prospects win be the return of Noel Martin after missing a sea son due to a knee injury. And two transfers from Mar quette are ticketed for plen ty of action. Dave Thiesen, halfback, and Mike Koehler, a fullback who is a grandson of the famous Jim Thorpe, could figure into the back- field planning. Freshman Kent McClough an, the number one back field prospect brought up from Jack Braley's freshman club this season, could be called on for help this year, McCloughan was the mam cog in the '61 fresnman at tack and while a prepstr at Broken Bow, was named the Nebraska Athlete of the Year. Departure of ends McDain iel and Purcell will necces sitate a re-building .in that department. Bill Comstock, Dick Callahan and Larry Donovan are all billed to go back to end after work in the backfield last faU. Centers Haney and Tingel hoff carried much of the load for"Bill Jennings' '61 starters but returning Ron Michka has seen plenty of action in that department. Devaney hopes - to relieve All-Conference fullback Bill Thornton of his linebacker duties because the work at offensive fullback and defen sive linebacker is too much of a load. There have been only five losses since fall. Halfback Bernie Clay, end C o r w i n Bishop, pilot Glen Glynn. and freshman tackle Anthony Guillory have all quit school And tackle Jim Borke, a transfer from Illinois, had a back operation and will not be able to play. Devaney has kept three holdover coaches from Bill Jennings staff George Kel ly, Cletus Fisher and Harry Tolly. He brought assistants Mike Corgan, Carl Selmer, Jim Ross and John Melton from Wyoming.

Bookstore BY BOB RAY Sports Staff Writer Husker golfers not only have to contend with tough Kansas State next Friday af ternoon, but with the soggy links at Pioneer Park this week. The weather has been so bad that the ten Husker pros pects haven't been able to qualify a team to meet the K-State five. The Nebraska team will be picked from low scores of preliminary rounds played this week by Jerry Overgaard. Ron Einspahr, Bill Gunlicks, Cecil Heit brink, Bill Hemmer, Dick Kistler, Stan Schrag, Sam Sloan, Louis Titus, and Ralph Williamson. Prospects aren't very bright this season. We only have two lettermen, Over gaard, and Williamson, re turning from last year," says DAILY D o RASKAf I siptois 1 ; " Nebraska Rodeo Show Set for 4th Appearance Wrestlers Garner 9th Place in NCAA Three Scarlet itatmen Responsible For $lPs High Finish in Nationals coach Harry Good. Nebraska had a 10-7 season last year and was last in the Big Eight Conference, but Good still hopes to improve on the Hus kers' conference standing. "It should be a real dog fight for several places in the conference," says the NU golf 'mentor. "Oklahoma and Oklahoma State are the pow ers in the Big Eight. Kansas is a little better than last year and Fowa State is not qu'te as strong. The caliber of Big Eight play is on the upswing as there are more boys playing and they have more leisure time." In fact, some freshmen and so.xiomores are replacing two and three lettermen as pace setters in conference teams. A game with as many coming youngsters as that ought to provide a lot of excitement, thinks Good.
