Vickroy, who ended a 21-year coaching career with the Indians, will replace Floyd Gau-tsch as athletic director at the university.

Both changes will become effective Sept. 1. Lincoln Athletic Director Dale Rheel said today he anticipates a meeting in the near future with Principal Frank Allen and Roger Harring, 36, whose efforts in six years boosted Lincoln High School's football and track programs into an elite circle reserved for the best in the state, accepted today the position of head football coach at La Crosse University. "It's always been one of my goals to coach at the college level," Harring said, "and to be able to coach at my alma mater has been utmost in the mind. I feel La Crosse is an outstanding school and has the tradition to be great." Harring received a bachelor of science degree from La Crosse U.

in 1958, with a major in physical education, and taught and coached five years at Ladysmith High School before coming here in 1963 as head football, wrestling and track coach. The native of Green Bay, who also attended and excelled in sports two years at St. Norbert College, W. De Pere, will re I I I Their recommendation would then be presented to the school board. "I think that I'm certainly leaving with mixed emotions," said Harring.

"The people on our staff here have been wonderful and I believe the strength oi our athletic programs reflect the loyalty of the staff members and their willingness to work together. "I think Wisconsin Rapids boys have been willing to work and certainly have been willing to pay the price to be champions." Harring will become the first Lincoln football coach to leave with a winning record (25-21-2). His 1965 team (5-2-1) brought the school its first undisputed Wisconsin Valley championship in 29 years, his 1966 team (6-1-1) finished runnerup end his 1967 squad (6-2) shared the league title. He regards his years here as "building" seasons and was quick to point out that his 1968 AHS whips Macks 'sa or third league win School Superintendent R. E.

The Rovals used an alert de fense to cause and then take advantage of 16 turnovers by tne Macks before the intermis sion on the way to their third Central Wisconsin Catholic Con ference victory and second in row.

Assumption emerged with a 3-8 league mark and 6-11 sea son record to take to Eau Claire Regis Saturday night while Mc-Donell, also an earlier victim of the Royals this season, was left with its 11th straight CWCC loss and a 2-14 overall log. Coach Bob Olson's charges. who entered the game with a dismal 32 per cent shooting av erage from the field, hit on 29 of 66 shots at a 44 ner cent clip and they included a 9-for-14 effort in the second quarter when the Rovald out- socred the visitors, 19-10. Both teams began clearing their benches early in the fourth stanza after Assumption had drilled enough holes in the Mc- Donell defense to build a 56-32 lead. othssin biclcliiici McDONELL (52) FG FT Mlnahan, Matt 2 4 4 Krhin 2 0 1 Haverly 0 0 Gerondala 0 4 1 Cyr 6 0 2 Young, John 2 2 1 Young, Joe 0 0 1 Hamilton 2 0 2 Boetcher 0 0 1 Hanson 10 3 Borman 0 2 2 TOTALS 20 12 18 ASSUMPTION (69) FG FT Ruehl 8 2 2 Meyer 3 0 1 Klein 3 13 Tomsyck 4 12 Thibodeau, M.

uarterback candidates By the Associated Press Racine St. Catherine is making a strong bid to take over the top spot in The Associated Press Big Ten high school basketball poll. With a 15-0 record, St. Catherine edged up lrom third spot to second this week and closed the point gap between itself and top-rated Beloit to only 12 points. The weekly poll is selected by the state's sportswriters and broadcasters with 10 points given to a first place vote, nine for second, etc.

Kimberly slipped a notch to third although tipping its record to 13-0. Beloit is 14-0 as all but one team in the Big Ten is undefeated. Appleton Xavier, 16-0, is fourth, followed by Eau Claire Memorial, 12-0; Schofield, 12-0; Milwaukee Marshall, 13-0; Burlington, 12-0; Milwaukee Marquette, 14-0, and Milwaukee Riv- Small college basketball poll Eight players scored for the winners, led by Mike Ruehl's 18 points. He missed but three of 11 shots from the field after pouring in 28 points in the first meeting between the two teams this season. Mark Thibodeau added 12, all the intermission, when freshman Gary Ladick took over to chip in 11 for his high of the season.

Dan Cyr, who tallied 10 of his 12 points in the final period, and Dan Haverly with 10 topped nine players scoring for 'the losers. The Royals, who had seven turnovers at halftime and finished with 15 to McDonell's 21, weren't as effective from the free throw line and settled for an identical 44 per cent showing by connecting on just 11 of 25 attempts. The Macks hit on 12 or 60 per cent of their 20 shots from the chairty stripe. Thibodeau, capitalizing on Mc-Donell miscues, rifled in 10 of his points in the second quarter as Assumption outscored the Macks by a 15-5 margin before the period was half over. Eight of Ruehl's points came in the third stanza when the Royals bolted from a 44-31 lead into a 50-31 advantage, including four points by the high-scoring Assumption forward.

The contest marked the end break through while Domres, Douglass and Woodall stand somewhat as surprising selections. Cook will be competing for the job with the Bengals against veteran John Stofa and two holdover rookies, Warren and Sam Wyche none of whom were significantly impressive during Cincinnati's first season in the American Football League. Hanratty, although he didn't go until the second round, would seem to have a shot at playing at Pittsburgh, where only Dick Siner-and Kent Nix block the door. At the same time, the door aiso appears to be ajar for Jackson and Harris. Jackson was rated as the second best college quarterback in the country by the Patriots, who last year were disappointed in me enorts or Mike Taliaferro and Tom Sherman.

Harris, who has been hichlv renarded during his Grambling career, will be up against somewhat stiffer competition in returning Kemp, out last season with inju ries; Darragh, and Kay Stephenson. Briscoe became the first Negro in the history of pro football to play regularly when he took over at Denver last year because of injuries. But it is ex pected he will be shifted hark to a defensive back spot this year team (4-4) was "one of my most enjoyable Mondays through Thursdays because the boys worked so hard. "I thought we had a good football team," he added about his 1968 club, "and I feel it typified Lincoln's hard-hitting teams." At Ladysmith, Harring compiled a 31-9 record after taking over a squad that had won but one game in three years. Harring said he was one of 90 applicants for the La Crosse post and one of four finalists to be granted interviews.

Harring played under Vickroy at La Crosse in 1955 and 1956. He met his wife, Mary, while attending La Crosse U. and the couple now have five children. They are Nick, 12; Terri, 10; Susie, Mathew, and Andrew, 3. Harring's exceptionally tough Lincoln track teams captured five Valley indoor titles, three outdoor championships and finished runnerup outdoors another season.

A two-year member of the WIAA's advisory board, Harring also started Lincoln's elementary wrestling program, has directed the city's grade school basketball program two years, served as the city's summer recreation director for three years and has directed a foot ball camp and annual football clinic at Olympia.

The Wisconsin Rapids School District is going to lose one heck of a man." The comment from Lincoln High School wrestling coach, Lewie Benitz, was typical of those received from various members of the school's coaching staff concerning the acceptance by fellow coach Roger Harring of the head football post at La Crosse University. Gene Noonan and Jack Cepek, for many years Harrings's assistants in football, both wished him well in his future endeavors but agreed, with Benitz that the Red Raider athletic program won't be quite the same without him. "The- success he generated by winning the 1964 Valley indoor track title has just been building each year since and every sport at the school certainly has benefited from presence," Benitz said.

"He's going to be a tough man to replace.

There is one other Negro candidate on the scene, Eldridge Dickey of the Oakland Raiders, who was schooled at the position during the entire 1968 season but did not play. He is, however, ready to make his debut. "Jackson could be the Willie Mays of pro football," said Rommie Loudd, the Patriots' player personnel director. And Harvey Johnson, the Bills' top scout, was just as enthusiastic about Harris, who "has a great arm and can throw long and short."

But the crop tapped this year, including top-rated Greg Cook of Cincinnati and two more Negro candidates, appears to have a far better chance of seeing action than the 1968 group.

Twenty quarterbacks were drafted last year, including highly touted Gary Beban, but just four saw considerable actionGreg Landry at Detroit, Dewey Warren at Cincinnati, Dan Darragh at Buffalo and Marlin Briscoe at Denver. But Cook and his cohorts drafted over the two days of the selection meeting that ended Wednesday after 21 hours and 15 minutes of drafting, appear to be in better shape to break in than their predecessors. First, let's take a look at how the Top Ten were picked, with name, college, selecting team, round, and over-all number selected among the 442 players picked: 1. Greg Cook, Cincinnati, by Cincinnati, round 1, 5th player. 2.
