James, who replaced the resigned Dave Fuddington a the Golden Flash coach in December, has accepted every offer. After applying the tape measure, scales and stopwatch to each specimen, James launched them on a rigorous off-season conditioning program along with holdover players. ATTRITION has already claimed a number of aspirants Including some who played last season but James hopes to open Spring practice Saturday with about 90 candidates approximately 30 more than were on last year's varsity. "I believe in the bit about strength in numbers," James smiles.

"We want to find the best 22 football players and put them on the field for us next Sept. 11 when we open our season Hayes and Broderick, who is from Mogadore, will be to "teach them as much as we can in their weak areas. Even if we take one of them at the end of Spring and say he's our quarterback we are going to work every day on improving weaknesses next Fall, too." IT IS James' hope to play a triple option-type offense with two running backs, a quarter-fa a and three receivers. The quarterback must be a running threat to make it effective, but he must be able to throw adequately, too. As receivers go, the talent seems to be on hand.

Len Turner, a 9.5 100-yard dash man the Kent track team, as well as Bob Fello, Jeff Murrey and Ken Mogish showed ability last season. James is particularly interested in utilizing Turner to keep defenses worried. "If we can hit him deep a couple times he'll get double coverage and a 's what we want," James said. Already, some personnel has been shifted to new positions by James and his staff with back Robin Hinson going from offense to defense and THE TAMBOURED PROCESS For The Discriminating Who Demand The Very Best!

Charging Systems Cylinder Compression DOX JAMES hunts talent at North Carolina State," James said. "Every guy in Spring practice is going to get a chance to show he belongs in the lineup." So much for the "Joes." What about Al? "You mean that big hammer thrower," beams James. "Let's just say we're very happy he's going to give football a try.

I mean, he's 6-2, 240 pounds and strong and we've clocked him 4.6 seconds for the 40-yard dash." THE SUBJECT was Al Schoterman, the sophomore who is the current NCAA rec-ordholder in both the indoor 33-pound weight throw and the outdoor hammer throw. Schoterman was a fullback in high school and will be tried by Kent in the same position. If he can become acclimated to the sport, despite limited participation in Spring workouts because track, Kent tailbacks could have something akin to a tank running their interference. "We're going to have a lot of patience with Al," said James. "I don't believe it's possible for him to be an in-s a success after being away from the game.

But he could be a very good player for us in time." BESIDES the volunteers, James expects 1 0 have on hand more than 40 sophomores-to-be, most whom played for the Flash freshman team last season. He is also hopeful that three recruits from the University of Buffalo, which dropped football, will be declared eligible to play for the coming season. Though the NCAA has given its OK, the final decision rests with the Mid-American Conference. The players from Buffalo are all freshmen with three years of eligibility left. The only question is whether they will have to sit out a year before getting their playing time.

The three are linebackers Dan Fouser (6-1, 205) from Rootstown and Bob Bender (6-0, 220) from Buffalo and fullback Henry Wasczhek (6-0, 210) from Canada. James will also greet 29 let-termen and a number of others from last year's squad, which won three of 10 games. Experience is limited, how-evert in a number of areas, the most critical of which seems to be a lack of numbers in the offensive backfield. THE TEAM'S top two running backs, Don Nottingham and Phil Witherspoon have departed and the only tested returnee is tailback Rich Oden (6-1, 190), a junior from Akron South. Clarence Mason (5-10, 198) played fullback rarely behind the bull-strong Nottingham, who was drafted by the Baltimore Colts.

Otherwise, James hopes that 1969 Beacon Journal Player of the year Renard Harmon (5-9, 170) from Garfield High and his sophomore mate, Eddie Woodard (5-7, 164) from Erie, will make bids at running back. The other big question on offense is the same one which plagued Puddington all of last season. But James is determined to make up his mind by end of Spring practice May 29 whether his quarterback will be Steve Broderick (6-2, 186), Larry Hayes (5-10, 182) or Ted Bowersox 5-11, 178). Bowersox will be a senior and the other two, who shared the starting spot the majority of last season, will be juniors. Hayes is known as a runner and Broderick as a passer.

Bowersox, not flashy in either regard, does both jobs efficiently.

He is also receiving instruction now from a host of coaches at the team's Bakersfield training site. Brown has not lost in a dual meet in three years.

He was 112-pound champ in the Metro League for three straight years. His sophomore year he was Sectional runnerup, District champion and finished fourth in the state. The loss in the Sectional finals and two losses in the state meet accounted for his three defeats. His junior year he was voted outstanding wrestler in the Metro League, won the Coventry Invitational Tournament, the Sectional title, the District title and the state title. He also took the state AAU crown and the national AAU-YMCA championship.

His senior year was a repeat of his junior year, with the exception that he also won the outstanding wrestler award at the Coventry Invitational. Brown plans to continue his wrestling career in college. Though he has not chosen a school wants to remain close to home. Jim, 18, is in the upper third of his class and made good scores on his achievement tests so he will have little trouble getting into the school of his choice. After the Tokyo trip and the choosing of a school are completed, Jim has set only one more goal the 1972 Olympic wrestling team.
