Iowa State Will
Work In Platoons
"We accomplished what we
had to do the first three days
of spring football and now
we settle down to the matter
of polishing our platoon
work."
That was Coach Clay Sta
pleton's summary of the
three practice sessions held
last week as Iowa State got
spring football drills under
way. "We now have an idea of
where to play each of our ath
letes," Stapleton said. "We
have tried to arrive at a bal
anced division of the squad
so that we wil have no glar
ing weaknesses if we cau
help it. Last year we placed
all our best men on defense
and that hurt us in our efforts
to move the ball. This year
we feel that we have balanced
things out, not robbing either
group."
Stapleton has 17 drills left
starting this week.

SPOILT:
BOB SAMUELSON Sports Editor
alanced Squads Meet
aturday In Scrimmage
After Saturday's scrim
mage, Coach Devaney had
misgivings as to whether the
first two teams were as good
as he had 'thought, or wheth
er the second two squads were
better.
It seems quite obvious that
the latter is the case. Rare
ly have so 'v.any looked so
gOOd SO SOOii.
The lineups indicate anoth
er interesting fact. Even in
the days of giants, there is
still room in college football
for the little man.
Butch Thorell, 170, Ted
Vactor, 175, Larry Waccholz,
163, Bob Churchich, 175, and
Frankie Solich, 158 are light
weights who are all figuring
prominantly in Devaney's fall
plans.
Devaney is hoping Saturday
will be "Answer Day" in re
gard to evaluting the Nebras
ka Cornhuskers' spring foot
ball drills.
The Huskers will wind up
spring practice with the an
nual All Sports Day intra
squad game, starting at 3 p.m.
at Memorial Stadium. Ne
braska's track team meets
Missouri in a dual, starting
at 12 noon.
"We hope to be able to come
up with some definite ideas
about who will be our best of
fensive and our best defensive
players when we start fall
practice," Devaney said Mon
day. "After the final spring
game, we will evaluate all of
spring practice to determine
who has done the best job
they'll start at the top next
fall."
Devaney opined that "while
we still have several problems
to settle," he wasn't ready to
launch a crying jag.
"There have been more in
dications lately that we have
some individuals who are on
the way to improving," he
said. "I was very pleased with
the improvement shown last
week, particularly by some of
the younger players."
Getting specific, Devaney
praised freshmen Jim McCord
Wayne Maylen, Dennis Rich
nafsky, Ben Gregory, Bob
Taucher and Ernie Sigler, And
for good measure, the Hus
ker headmaster tossed a bou
quet to some veterans.
"Ron Kirkland, at left half
back, improved last week,
and one are where it looks
like we might be improving
is center where Kelly Peter
sen, Harry Tuthill and Dun
can Drum are waging a hot
scrap and doing a better
job."
Devaney isn't going to line
up his squad to insure a cake
walk Saturday.
"The squad will probably be
the most evenly divided we've
ever had" Bob said. "We'll
match the first offensive unit
against the top defensive unit,
(OX d yoohca
v5
The Pizza Hut

489-4601
and the second offensive
against the second defense.
"There has been a lot of
interest this spring among the
fans, the players and the
coaches so we're going to
make it even more interest
ing Saturday," Devaney
smiled.
And almost as an after
thought, Devaney interjected:
"Now don't forget, when we
evaluate the squad we'll be
thinking of Frank Solich, too.
Just because he's out for base
ball, doesn't mean he's out of
the football picture."
Looking ahead to fall, De
vaney said the Huskers would
assemble two offensive and
two defensive units, and not
work with a "swing team"
a la 1964
"We felt the third unit last
year suffered at times be
cause we asked them to go
both ways, so we'll try dou
ble units both offensively and
defensively," Devaney said.
"Actually, we've got four
games bfore we have to wor
ry about a 40-man squad ilm
it (Kansas State at Manhat
tan on Oct. 16) so we can
have some time to develop
better depth."
And how do the Cornhus
kers shape up going into the
spring windup, compared to
past years?
"We're about equal to past
years at this time," Devaney
said. "But we feel we should
be a little strnger next fall,
both offensively and defensively."

Baseballers Journey South
For Oklahoma State Series
History shows that this Is the
time of year that Nebraska's
baseball team usually starts to
play its best ball, and this
year can be no exception if
the Huskers wish to remain
in title contention after last
weekend's dismal series.
The climb back to the top
will have to begin on the road
against the Oklahoma State
Cowboys, the second best hitt
ing club in the loop. Those
rattling bats will be doubly
hard to contain as the Cow
boys attempt to fire back af
ter a weekend similar to the
NU one
Coach Tony Sharpe will
send his top hurler, and the
leagues third best, Stan Bahn
sen, at OSU in the first game
of a Friday doubleheader in
Stillwater.
Bob Hergenrader al
so among the league's top ten
pitchers, will go in the sec
ond contest on Friday.
Saturday Sharpe has
assigned Gary Neibauer to
hurl. Neibauer looked impres
sive over the last three innings
in Saturday's drubbing as he
shut out Iowa State. -
Leading the Husker hitters
against OSU will be streak
ing Randy Harris. With his six
CONFERENCE
for nine showing In the ISU
series, Harris moved Into the
top hitters list on the Big
Eight statistics chart with a
mark of .333.
Other notes on the state
chart show that Nebraska has
relinquished its number one
spot in fielding percentage.
Falling to second behind Kan
sas, Nebraska's total errors
doubled during last weeks
games.
Nebraska will return home
for their final home stand on
May 14 and 15 against Okla
homa. The Huskers will close
out the campaign the follow
ing weekend, May 21, 22, with
a series at the University of
Kansas.
Big Eight News
Second basemen, by posi
tion, dominate the standings
in the Big Eight Conference's
batting race, but a converted
second baseman, Bob Robben
of Missouri, now ranks as the
best of the leaders, after un
seating the season-long pace
setter, Tony Stark of Okla
homa State.
