Ex-Husker Clark, Denver Broncos mutually impressed
By Shelley Smith
Kelvin Clark said he's found a lot in Denver.
The former Husker offensive lineman from Odessa
Tex. has found a climate he likes, crazier football fans and
a place on the Denver Bronco squad, he said.
Drafted in the first round by the Broncos, Clark is an
impressive player, according to offensive line coach
Whitey Dovell.
"He's playing excellent for a rookie," Dovell said.
"He's got a lot to leam, but he looks good."
Clark has played considerably in each of Denver's four
pre-season games. He started at left tackle last week
against New England, according to Dovell.
However, even with the playing time under his belt,
and a seemingly secure spot on the team, Clark said he's
still not sure of himself because of his lack of experience.
"I'm improving-but you never can be sure," Clark
said.
"1 have a good chance of making the team, and being
number two on the chart is a good learning experience,"
he said.
Dovell agreed that Clark needs experience, but added
he wants to bring him into professional football slowly.
"I hope he doesn't have to play more than we want
him too," he said.
"It takes some time to adjust to professional football,
and we don't want to have to rush that."
So far, Clark said his problem adjusting mainly involves
offensive pass blocking.
"The defensive ends are a lot quicker and faster, and
the pros pass a lot more than college does," he said.

Clark, who runs 40 yards In 4.9 seconds, should be
able to improve his blocking easily because of hit good
speed, according to Dovell.
"He's quick, and he's smart. That should help him out
a lot." Dovell said.
Clark reported to summer camp at 64 and 260
pounds-15 pounds lighter than when he played for Ne
braska in 1978.
"I feel a lot better," he said.
"I'm a little more agile and quicker. I don't know how
I lost the weight-! guess from training to hard," he
added.
Clark said he likes Denver and likes the way the Bron
cos have treated him.
And, he said Denver football fans are a lot crazier than
Nebraska fans.
"Last year I never thought 1 would see crazier football
fans than Nebraska's-but I have," he said.
"Nebraska fans just kind of go to the games-it seems
like Denver is louder. Maybe it's because they sell beer
at the games," he added.
Although Clark said he felt his chances to play this fall
are good, he will have to miss practice for a couple of
weeks because of a sprained ankle suffered in the New
England game.
He said the ankle injury is not serious but will force
him to miss this Friday's game against Cincinnati.
Clark said he likes the coaching staff, the players and
the atmosphere in professional football.
And Denver?
"Well, it's a good place for my wife to shop," he said. -

It also calls for full diplomatic relations

establishment of the draft.
YAF National Chairman James Lacy
said, "Any candidate seeking the active
support of young conservatives in 1980
should be ready to endorse our young
people's platform."
