Eaton guided the Cowboys
tn a 10-0 record in regular
season play last year, making
the Pokes the only undefeated
major college team in the
country. But 12 of the starters
that helped compile that im
pressive record will not be

The Cowboy end is the kind
the optimistic aspects
Three quarterback can-
didatcs have been battling for
the starting berth, but the. in
side track for the job seems
to go to Skip Jacobson, a
senior letterman who saw
considerable action last
season.
UNDERSTUDY to Toscano
brings impressive credentials
into Lincoln. Jacobson com
pleted 21 of 34 passes last
year in limited duty for 267
yards and two touchdowns.
Jacobson, who owns the top
scholastic average on the
football team, turned in an
outstanding spring
performance, connecting on
34 of 64 passes (.531) In
the two spring games for 365
yards and two TD's.
But the "Outstanding
Back" award in the wTap-up
game of spring drills went to
Jacobson's chief quarterback
rival Ed Synakowski. The
sophomore signal-caller from
Utica, N.Y., held the No. 1
spot entering fall practice
sessions after completing 12
of 21 passes for 207 yards and
three scores in the spring
finale.
If either of the quarterback
prospects come through with
a season like Toscano's first
at the helm, the Pokes should
field a solid contender for
WAC Conference honors again
this season. -
And while graduation took
the services of the starting
backfield for the '67 WU out
fit, the Laramie men will not
lack for experience. Fullback
Dave Hampton, who played
in the shadow of Jim KUck
for two seasons, is ready to
step into the spotlight at that
position.
Hampton was the second
leading rusher for the
Cowboys as a soph and rank
ed as the fourth leading
ground-gainer last year with
148 yards.
Junior Joe Williams,
sophomore Bob Belei and
junior Bill Kyranakis. a con
verted tight end, figure into
the backfield spots, for this
year's edition of Cowboys.
Williams finished second in
rushing last year with 389
yards on 89 carries for the
team's best average, 4.4 a
trip, to earn All-WAC honors.
Belei. a bull-type runner
with good tackle-breaking
ability, topped the Pokes'
freshmen unit last fall with
a 5.4 average. Kyranakis
ranked fifth in receiving last
year at tight ena. snagging j
nine aerials for 132 yards and ,
a touchdown. j

Co-captain Jim House, a
senior linebacker, spearheads
the defensive -unit. The
Laramie, Wyo., high school
product led the team with 42
tackles and 44 assists last
season.
House was all over the field
in the Migar uowi iray
against Louisiana State, con
tributing eight tackles, three
assists and one pass deflec
tion. He was chosen as Sports
Illustrated's national
'Lineman of the Week" for
his outstanding play against
Colorado State.
In all, 28 of 56 lettermenj

practice session have resolv
ed a few of the expected
deficiencies. In some cases an
over-compensation has oc
curred. Lloyd Eaton isn't planning
on any statistics or any pre
season predictions when hr
sends his Pokes on the field
Saturday. Pride is a key word
in the Wyoming football
vocabulary. Tradition i s
building and Eaton doesn't
plan on changing into a loser.
