Harper was the only one listed on the three-deep lineups who was not on hand for the annual Photo Day activities.

Harper had airplane scheduling difficulties and was not due to arrive until late Sunday night. The Huskers will work in sweat clothes in line with an NCAA regulation for the first three days before donning pads Thursday. Devaney said the first scrimmage activity likely would take place Saturday afternoon on the new AstroTurf. During two-a-days which will last for about 10 days, Devaney said the morning workouts would be on the AstroTurf with the afternoon sessions set for the old prac Another reason for the Devaney anxiety could be the talent he has on hand in his offensive platoon where Van Brownson and Jerry Tagge return at quarterback, Jeff Kinney and Joe Orduna at tailback, Jeff Hughes and sophomore John Rodgers at flanker and Dan Schnei'ss at fullback. "We've got a chance to score quicker than we've had for the past several years," Devaney admitted.

"But you've got to be able to score more in this day and age." As the Huskers open fall drills today, Devaney figures the three major questfon marks are at center, offensive guard and defensive end. Doug Jamail, Bill Janssen and Doug Dumler will continue the battle they waged last spring for the center job left vacant by the graduation of Glenn Patterson. The opening day depth chart shows Bruce Weber, Robert Grenfell and Keith Wortman lined up at left guard with Donnie McGhee, Mike Beran By HAL BROWN Star Sports Editor One day last week Nebraska head football coach Bob Devaney remarked that he was looking forward to the 1970 season possibly more than in any previous season. Sunday he elaborated on that statement as his squad of more than 80 players cavorted on the new AstroTurf for the benefit of photographers. "I think there's a lot of enthusiasm among the players and coaches," he said in explaining the reason for his anxiety to get under way this fall.

"And when you finish up good the previous season, there's always a feeling of anxiety about getting started again." But before anyone mistakes that anxiety for a forecast of a Big Eight championship, Devaney quickly added: "I think we've had better situations facing us than we have this year situations where we had more players coming back and times when we faced a better chance of winning it, like in 1963, 65 or 66." nrceucc Usually after the game he congratulates the lad for erasing his name from the record books after 50 years or so and predicts great things for the new record-holder. But new Concordia Teachers College football coach John Seevers isn't waiting until after the game or even the start of the season to urge Rod Giesselmann to break a longstanding record. Seevers was the quarterback for Concordia from 1948-52 when the Bulldogs lost only three games in three years.

Giesselmann, a senior this year, has done the same thing twice and Seevers wants to see the record fall this year.

'I told Giesselmann I want him to throw 20 this year," Seevers said. "I think we're going to be pretty good. We have good personnel. We have to go out and prove it." Two For Doane Changing the subject from football to basketball, Doane coach Bob Erickson appears to have brought in another couple of top-notch players for next season. They are Herbert Cousins of Panama City, Panama, and Zelmon McBride of Waukegan, III.

Erickson said Cousins is 6 feet. 7 inches and weighs 175 pounds. A 1969 high school graduate, Cousins was the starting center on the Panamanian National Team. Cousins averaged 13 points per game in the World Games in Yugoslavia this year and 18 points per game in the Central American and Caribbean Games in which Panama took the crown. In 1969 Cousins played on Panamanian teams which traveled to Cuba and Spain.

McBride is a graduate of Winston Churchill Junior College ir. Illinois. He was named to the Illinois All State Junior College team. 22-Point Average A 6 feet, 1 inch guard who weighs 170 pounds, McBride averaged 22 points per game. As a prepstcr, he led his Waukegan High team to the number one position in the state.

"Both of these ball players have the background and experience to step in and help our varsity this year," Erickson said. The new talent should help Doane in a season which includes three tournaments, regular rivals and clashes with Hardin Simmons and New Mexico State, ranked third in the nation last year.
