doilu n (HKDl 9 v m am 3 1 ''V-'7a, ! i Surprised reserve drafted by Raiders Monte Johnson may just be coming out of a shock that hit him about 4 p.m. Tuesday. That's about the time Johnson remembers being told that he had been selected by the Oakland Raiders in the second round of the National Football League's annual draft of college seniors. "Tom Grimes of the Raiders called me around 4 p.m. and when he gave me the news I was so shocked I almost fell over," Johnson said. Johnson's reaction to the news stems from the fact that he did not start a game during his three years at Nebraska. Even though he played well and often, being chosen in the second round draft doesn't happen to reserve tackles. "I had hopes of going somewhere in the first seven rounds, or at least sometime during the first day of selections, but I never expected this," he said. A native of Bloomington, Minn., Johnson said his selection Tuesday made up for the frustrations he has felt during the past three years while trying to crack the starting NU line-up. "Not starting really hurt psychologically, but all the hard work I've put into college ball has finally paid off," Johnson said. shorts J U.N Three-year reserve tackle Monte Johnson . . . was shocked when drafted by Oakland in the second round.

Although he prefers defensive end, the 6-6, 240 pound senior, said he was confident of adjusting to linebacker. Because of his high draft selection, Johnson has decided to use a Lincoln attorney to help him with contract negotiations, something he had not planned on doing if he was drafted in the seventh round. 'C Remember all the arguments last fall over who was the best center in the Big Eight? Many thought Tom Brahaney of Oklahoma deserved top honors while others voted for Doug Dumler of Nebraska. Well, the question may have been answered when New England head coach Chuck Fairbanks selected Dumler ahead of Brahaney in the fifth round of the draft. Fairbank's was Brahaney's coach last year at Oklahoma.
