Akron Beacon Journal 9 117" Ox Jillliilll i oo 00(01 9 Area Buckeye Stars Make Big Contributions In New Roles By JACK PATTERSON Ex-Ohio State freshman coach Tiger Ellison, who had a lot to do with developing the players who now comprise the No. 1 team in the nation, once was asked what would happen to a number of highly-touted recruits who seemed locked in by veteran talent ahead of them. "Don't worry about them," said Ellison. "They'll play somewhere. If not at the regu lar position, at another one.

These kids are so good they'll play anywhere and succeed just because they have such great desire." Cases in point on this year's Buckeyes are former area standouts Dick Kuhn of Louisville and Stan White of Kent Roosevelt. KUHN was an offensive halfback and defensive linebacker on the great Louisville team of a few seasons ago which won 38 straight games and included former Notre Dame star Bob Gladieux. But when he came to Ohio he was switched to a tight end; that mired him behind the great Jan White for two seasons. Kuhn managed to play in all his varsity games, caught 11 passes for 163 yards in two seasons but still was nothing more than a face in the crowd. This year, however, State came up with a shortage of talent at tackle and guard, via injuries and graduation.

Kuhn got his big chance and didn't muff it. First he moved to tackle, then to guard and when the season opened, he was the Bucks' starter on the left side of the offensive line. TO MAKE the switch, Kuhn built his weight up from 211 to 225. "I wouldn't have minded tackle," he smiles, "but I'd probably have been the smallest one in the Big Ten. "I'm just giad to play any-w he adds.

"I like guard now. The blocking assignments aren't really that different than tight end." Kuhn feels he made the transition easily because he got used to playing wherever needed at Louisville High. "The only reason I wound up at halfback there was because DICK KUHN built up weight STAN WHITE prize pupil Friday, October 23, 1970 Will 'i we didn't have anyone else at practice one day," he grins. "Kuhn's become a pretty darn good guard," says Woody Hayes. "It's just too bad we i 't make the switch two years ago because he'd be outstanding now." White, 6-1 and 214, was a rare catch for State, the only boy in prep history to have played in the Ohio All-Star games in football, basketball and baseball.

favorite but Woody Hayes is reminding his chargers that State's 1968 national champions barely escaped with their lives in a 31-24 win at Champaign and that in 1967, Illi i Above Our League Toledo Best Mid Claims Puddington Am Team nois upset Ohio State 17-14 aft er which the Bucks went on to Ever' been bumped up have responded to treatment and will play. Hayes, who has a 6.2 average per carry, will be the quarterback at the start, win- and has yet to put all together." Puddington will be minus the services of defensive tackle Charlie Lori (knee) Saturday but several others who had Nottingham, Witherspoon and Hayes and defensively they are smaller but quicker. "I really feel Kent has some outstanding individual talent team will be congnizant of Kent's capabilities. "Kent is a vastly improved team from a year ago," Lauterbur said. "Offensively they have some good runners in HE WAS a star end in football at Roosevelt but for two years he did not distinguish himself for the Buckeyes, save for kicking extra points and kickoffs.

Some felt he had cut himself thin by trying to make it in baseball and basketball, too, and had engendered Hayes' displeasure. Then the injury bug that opened the door for Kuhn also gave White his chance. Phil Strickland, slated to play linebacker, was needed back on offense as Kuhn's running mate at guard. White was moved in as a linebacker and Buck defensive coach Lou McCullough took Stan on as a project." Rivals tested White in Ohio's first three games but didn't find him wanting. In fact, Stan came up with 10 tackles against Duke and 11 against Michigan State, being named the Bucks' top defensive player against the Spartans.

"He's done a fine job," says McCullough of his prize pupil, "particularly on pass defense. And he'll get even better as the season goes on." Versatility is not the least of State's many attributes. BUCK SHOT low state to which Illinois football has sunk (The Illini have lost 10 straight Big Ten games) is reflected in the fact plenty of seats are available for Saturday's invasion by the No. 1 Bucks. The Illini do, however, have a bonafide All-American candidate in 6-5, 236-pound tight end Doug Dieken, who, despite double coverage all season, has 19 receptions for 226 yards.

Dieken should be at his best Saturday since his hometown of Streater, 111., is honoring him with "Doug Dieken win 22 straight games i-" Top defensive player for Illinois is, sophomore tackle Tab Bennett leads with 36 tac- 0 kles and is billed as the most exciting Illinois player since Dick Butkus At stake is the traditional fllibuck trophy. a wooden replica of a live tur- -tie that was exchanged be-tween -the two teams prior to 1927. Illinois' scout, Jim Brown, who checked the Bucks out the last two weeks, perhaps says it best when he notes, "Don't ask me for Ohio State I weaknesses. They do every- thing. They have almost a complete lack of mistakes, having turned the ball over only twice in their last two games on interceptions.

They wait for you' to turn it over, then take it in Kickoff is at 2:30 p.m. Akron time Garden St. Horse Toll 33 I Sports If In Brief ft THE WORST fire in New Jersey racing since World War II has killed 33 horses, 32 of them thoroughbreds valued at close to $500,000. The blaze that destroyed a barn at Garden State race track also contributed to the death of a trainer, Thomas W. Eeardon, 69, who collapsed while going through the ruins.

A 19-year-old groom, Howard Hastings, reported missing earlier, was found unharmed Brookfield Stables, one of the nation's dozen largest stables, lost eight thoroughbreds, including Inevitable, the winner of the Pageant Stakes for 3-year-olds at Atlantic City, N. last year. Benny Perkins, trainer for Indian Mills Stock Farm near Hammonton, N. said he lost 13 horses. Two Brooks Farm of Basking Ridge, N.

The 17, including three freshman squad members, were suspended after they boycotted a football practice Wednesday. A spokesman indicated two black defensive backs, Don Taylor and Rhett Sherman, were not being given enough' playing time, even in games which ISU was far ahead AUBURN linebacker Bobby Woodruff, who has started 14 straight games, was dismissed from the squad for violating training rules. Coach Shug Jordan would not comment on the dismissal which came as the unbeaten Tigers (5-0) were making ready to meet Louisiana State Saturday Ole Miss Coach John Vaught was reported resting comfortably after suffering a mild heart attack earlier this week.

He will remain hospitalized for an undetermined period A special committee set up to report on athletics at the University of Miami (Fla.) has recommend that basketball be discontinued until adequate facilities, preferably on campus, are available. The committee also recommended that the school continue intercollegiate programs in football, baseball, tennis, swimming, golf and soccer and encouraged a search for an athletic director, keeping that post separate from other athletic positions Bernard F. Oakes, 72, the man who coached the University of Colorado to its first tied football championship, died of an apparent heart attack near Lancaster, where he had been vacationing with his wife. His 1936 team at Colorado was undefeated and won the 1937 Cotton Bowl THE MICHIGAN INTERNATIONAL SPEEDWAY, built at a cost of $6 million two years ago, is more than a million dollars behind in mortgage payments and will be sold at two sheriff's actions in late December. The 600-acre tract straddles the Jackson and Lenawee County lines, necessitating sheriff's sales at two different.

Under terms of the pact Kapp, who played out his option with the Vikings, will receive $130,000 per year, making him the highest paid player in pro football A three-for-two player trade with the American League's Milwaukee Brewers was announced today by the St. Louis Cardinals. St. Louis sent utility player Carl Taylor and pitcher Jim Ellis to Milwaukee.

Thirty-four-year-old catcher Jerry McNertney and pitchers George Lauzerique and Jesse Hug-gins were obtained by the Cards.

That's why more men come back again and again to Carlton's for the perfect Botany suit at the perfect price, with perfect fit.

MalfeS THE ABA Box Scores ning the honor from Moga-dore's Steve Broderick. SINCE Hayes is predominantly a runner it means Kent will try to move the ball on the ground. "We will try to get our offense moving consistently," said Puddington, "and defen-' sively we will have to be very tight since Toledo is averaging 33 points per game and only giving up three points (the nation's best defensive record against scoring)." Footing should be no problem for the ground game of team since the turf at Memorial Stadium has been covered by a tarpaulin for four days. The Flash players will observe Dad's Day with fathers joining them for the pre-game meal and sitting behind the Kent bench during the conflict.

DiFFFRerlce IT' SANMAMFRtCAHO I i By SCOTT BOSLEY KENT It has been figured out by a guy who had the time that Kent State University should be a 141-point underdog against Toledo Saturday. The hypothesis is based on the scores of Kent and Toledo against four common opponents Bowling Green, Western Michigan, Ohio University and Buffalo. Kent Coach Dave Pudding-ton, who has incurred an ac-cute case of fear and trem-b 1 i this week, has not stopped working long enough to put the pencil to this analysis. But he has an off-the-top-of-, the-head pronouncement the Toledos which indicates his feelings on the matter. "Toledo, we figure, is the best team in Mid-American Conference history," said Puddington.

"Many have said that Ohio U's 1968 team, which was unbeaten, was the best ever but this Toledo team is as good offensively and much stronger defensively. "They're playing above our league- somewhere. Maybe" they should be in the Big Ten or the NFL." SO, AT face value, it should follow that Kent (1-2 in the MAC and 2-3 overall) will be crocked by Toledo (3-0, 6-0). Right, Pud? "Not necessarily," replied. "We feel our team has not played up to its potential that we haven't gotten everything going at once.

"I admit it will be extremely difficult for us to beat Toledo. It will take a championship effort to beat a championship team, and that's what I hope we'll get Saturday." A combination of factors will have to work for the Flashes at the 1:30 kickoff in Memorial Stadium if there is still an issue to be decided at 1:35. Last year, there wasn't. Toledo scored two touchdowns in the first three minutes, one on a 50-yard dash by fullback Charlie Cole and another on a 67-yard punt return by Dan Crockett. Eventually, Kent was a 43-17 loser.

MUCH the same Rocket team returns and many of the players like junior quarterback Chuck Ealey have never played in a losing game for Toledo, now a winner 17 straight times. Despite their lofty status, Frank Lauterbur feels i Kent State RUSHING Atts. Gam Net Avg. Larry Hayes, qb D. Nottingham fb P.
