Freshman Gridders
Initiate Workouts
By AL SPORE
Staff Sports Writer
Frosh football prospects re
ported to Coaches John Mel
ton and Cletus Fischer last
Monday to begin the 1962
campaign.
On hand were many Ne
braska high school standouts
plus the recruiting efforts
from other states. The squad
is expected to hit around 70
to 80 players by the end of
this week
Heading the list of 1 o c a 1
talent Is Nebraska's pride,
Dave Lebsack, last year's
outstanding prep athlete.
Lebsack's quarterbacking
abilities, as demonstrated at
Lincoln Northeast and the
Shrine Bowl, place him in
strong contention for the sig
nal calling role.
Rrlchacek at Tackle
Another Shriner and out
standing prepster at Schuy
ler was Gary Brlchacek, a
215 pound fullback who
showed line abilities by play
ing tackle for the North in
the Shrine contest
Nebraska Loses
Giuck Sladovnik
The Nebraska basketball
team has lost the services of
Chuck Sladovnik, the team's
third leading rebounder last
year
Sladovnik did not return to
school this fall, because of
back trouble which would
have prevented him from par
ticipating in the winter sport.
Sladovnik was forced to quit
a construction job this sum
mer because of the back trou
ble. The former Omaha Holy
Name athlete played in 24
games for the Huskers last
season, scoring 69 points ana
grabbing 116 rebounds.
Sladovnik has taken a job
as a claims adjuster for an
Omaha insurance company.

Donovan at left end, Tyrone
Robertson at left tackle,
Dwain Carlson at left guard,

Brown at right guard, Lloyd
Voss at right tackle and Jim
Huge at right end.
In the backfield Dennis
Claridge will handle the quar
terbacking chores with Dave
Theisen at left half, Dennis
Stuewe at right half and
Warren Powers at fullback.
Stuewe, senior from Ham
burg, Minn., moved to t h e
starting unit on the basis of
his fine running in last Satur
day's scrimmage.
Theisen Moves Up
Theisen has also moved up
to the starting unit as a re
sult of his speed and coolness
under fire. In last Saturday's
scrimmage he turned a fum
bled snapback into a two
point conversion by picking
up a fumbled snapback and
flipping a pass to end Larry
Tomlinson.
Theisen injured his leg in
the scrimmage but Is ap
parently ready to go for
String Unbroken
Floyd Bottorff, veteran
equipment manager at Neb
raska refused to let a string
break.
Bottorff cut his leg with
a chisel which required 23
stitches but r e t u r n e d to

dent occurred, keeping his
record of never missing a

Saturday's game.
On the alternate unit De
vaney has Tomlinson at left
end, Monte Kiffin at left
tackle, John Kirby at le ft
guard, Jim Baffic at center,
Gary Toogood at right guard,
Al Fischer at right tackle and
Dick Callahan at right end.
Faiman or Tucker
In the alternating back
field will be John Faiman or
Doug Tucker at quarterback,
Willie Ross at left half, Rudy
Johnson or Kent McCloughan
at right half and Gene Young
at fullback.
McCloughan will be used as
a defensive specialist on the
starting unit, replacing the
quarterback.
Faiman and Tucker hit bet
ter than .500 in their passing
during Saturday's scrimmage.
This phase of offense is very
important in the Devaney sys
tem' where the pass is used
as a weapon, not as a des
peration move.
Faiman is a senior, Tucker,
a sophomore.

Baffico, 265-pounder from
San Francisco Junior Col

he was the only one able to

Teani in Shape
The Cornhuskers should be
in good shape, injurywise bar
ring any mishaps this week,
for the South Dakota game.
Devaney indicated that he
will not insert any special
plays for the debut and has
already set the defense for
the Cyotes.
Devaney also said that ha
thought that South Dakota
would do quite a little pass

pass plays from the spread
formation.
