The Lincoln Star from Lincoln, Nebraska • 21

The I liuolii Star 21 Friday, Nov. 6, 1970 Packers' Starr Jealous Of Packers' Patrick SPORT SMULS -i By Hal Brown Sports Editor, The Star FORMER HUSKER BEING GROOMED FOR GREEN BAY JOB Polls Wrong Again We've been a constant critic of polls (football-type) and Tuesday night a number of politicians learned those other kind of polls also are something that only attract attention, but don't give you any victories. Each week the football pollsters are proven wrong by the constant juggling that goes on in the weekly top 20. We'd like to see Missouri (unrated) play Dartmouth for instance. You might need one of those computers to keep the score.

The Tuesday results proved once again those in sports have a couple of advantages over those in politics. For one thing, thank goodness, sports events are not decided with two minutes gone in the game by any election ejection projection analysis. If that were the case, we would imagine that Walter Cronkite would have awarded Iowa State a large victory over Oklahoma last week at the end of the first quarter when the Cyclones led by 21-0. "a good blocker with good attitude. Catches ball well in a crowd." Then came Green Bay's abbreviated spring camp, a three-day ufluir in June that's held to check the players' conditioning pro-gram.

"The first two days they ran me as a tight end," Patrick said. "When 1 was leaving, Mr. Peppier (Pat, personnel director) told me I would be coming into camp as a quarterback, not as a tight end." "I liked the idea," he said. "I felt that if I was going to have a chance to make the team, it would have to be at quarterback." Now, he spends most of his time on the sidelines watching and learning. "I try to pick up as much as I can on the sidelines from coach i Bratkowski in the press box and Bart and Don (Horn)," Patrick said.

The education will come in handy one day. The Packers have been impressed enough to drop last year's No. 3 quarterback, Billy Stevens. called me into the office and told me we had two fine quarterbacks coming up from the freshman team Jerry Tagge and Van Bronson. He felt that instead of going with a senior, he should go with a sophomore quarterback." Ironically, Tagge is a native of Green Bay.

Bronson is from Shenandoah, Iowa. Patrick's senior year was one of frustration. He was listed behind Jim McFarland at tight end. However, McFarland was unable to play in Nebraska's opener and Patrick caught three passes for 40 yards. He didn't catch another pass the entire season.

"I started the second and third games at split receiver," Patrick said, "and played in every game. I thought that I was open quite a bit, but after the first game, nothing was ever thrown my way." "When you got a guy 6-foot-7 who weighs 225 pounds and has fair speed, well The Packers drafted Patrick as a tight end in the 10th round with a choice acquired in a trade with the Washington Redskins. The Green Bay press book lists Patrick as Bob Anderson, Patrick was considered one of the two top sophomore quarterbacks in the Big Eight Conference. In 1967, Patrick finished with 1,449 yards passing, the best in the Big Eight and 12th in the nation. Then, his dream came to a rude ending in the opening game of his junior year.

"We opened up with Wyoming," Patrick remembered. "Coach Bob Devaney was formerly from Wyoming and he wanted to win the game very much." "We were down by around 14 points at halftime, and when we didn't get off on the right track in the third period, coach gave Ernie Sigler a chance at it. We won the game, something like 17-14, and Ernie started every game after that." "I didn't play one of my better games," Patrick said. "But I also felt that our line didn't block as well as they could. I don't mean to take anything away from Ernie, though.

He came through with a great game." At the end of the scasop, "Coach Devaney Green Bay, Wis. P) Bart Starr is jealous of Frank Patrick, a quarterback-turned-tight end-turned quarterback who has yet to play in a regular season National Football League game. Starr was watching with noticeable envy as Patrick, a rookie, threw the ball 40 and 50 yards during a Green Bay Packers practice. The veteran Starr, who has been bothered this season with arm and shoulder injuries, smiled and shook his head. "He doesn't set much," Starr said of Patrick, who was then throwing on the run.

"But he doesn't need to because he's so strong. I turn green every time I watch him." Patrick had a bright future as a pro quarterback when he was a sophomore at Nebraska. The native of Derry, spreads 225 pounds over his 6-foot-7 frame, tall enough to look over any on-rushing enemy lineman and pick out his targets. As a sophomore, Patrick was the starting signal-caller for Bob Dcvaney's nationally-ranked Cornhuskers.

I By TOM HENDERSON Star Sports Writer Don Johnson returns to the scene of one of the triumphs which helped him earn $35,000 last year on the Professional Bowlers Association tour when the PBA's second annual Lincoln Open tournament kicks off with its Pro-Am event today, but Johnson says his chances of winning aren't as great as they were a year ago. "Last year the lanes were in 'It Pis'" been too consistent." The action opens today at 11 a.m.

Then follows the Pro-Am beginning at 3 p.m. Saturday the professional part of the tourney gets underway with squads rolling qualifying rounds at 10 a.m., 1, 4:30 7:30 p.m., while the qualifying continues Sunday at 10 a.m., 4 and 7 p.m. The match-game finals will be held Monday from noon to 3:30 p.m. and 7-10 p.m.

McGrath 1st In Money "After bowling on these lanes. I'd take one of those three players." After today's Pro-Am, the professionals have the alleys to themselves Saturday through Monday for the pro portion of the tourney. Johnson, 30, of Kokomo, has already topped last year's earnings, having picked up $41 000 in prize money coming into the tournament, including $25,000 for winning the rich Firestone Open. But he says he bowled more consistently last year. "Actually last year I won $35,000, but it was a very consistent year," he says.

"This year I've just got two firsts a second and a fifth. As far as money is concerned I've had a pretty good year, but I haven't condition. I'm definitely an inside player, but I'll be in there piaying my best." Johnson explains that lane conditions change constantly for many different reasons. "Here (at Hollywood Bowl where the tourney will again be held) they changed lane machines last spring and when they did that, the angle switched toward the outside line," he says. "Actually it should make the scores much higher this year." Johnson says with lane conditions as they are, Nelson Burton, Billy Hardwick and Jim Stefanich should rate as the players with the best chance to win this year's $32,000 tournament.
