The Lincoln Star from Lincoln, Nebraska • 13

THE LINCOLN STAR- Saturday, April 23, 1983 PAGE 13 of NU's offensive line have Ark to do Members Spring Gsma Rosters By Mike Babcock of The Lincoln Star Ready or not, spring practice is about to end for the Nebraska football team. It's officiany over with the playing of the annual Red-White tatrasquad game Saturday at Memorial Stadium. Kickoff, originally scheduled for 1:30 p.m, has been changed to 1:40 p.m. to accommodate local television. FOR SOME, it may be over too soon.

Milt Tenopir could probably use additional time with the Cornhuskers' offensive line, particularly the tackles. Not that he isnt as eager as the next guy to have a break from the grind. "But I guess our tackles on the second unit They're just not concentrating," Tenopir said. Saturday's game will be of particular interest to Tenopir. "Hopefully, coming out of the spring game we can solidify some backups (at tackle)," be said.

If not, the evaluation process win have to continue in the falL Nebraska's No. 1 offensive Mne appears to be set It hasnt changed during a month of spring drills, in fad Bob Sledge and Doug laser are the tackles. Andy Keeler and John Nelson are the guards. And Jake Young is the center, with Jeff Anderson as his backup as well as the third, or "swing," tackle. Anderson is considered a first-team player, according to Tenopir.

The junior walk-on from Norfolk is also the No. 1 deep snapper. The first unit "has played wen an spring, but, of course, they aU played a lot last fan," said Tenopir. Most of the back-up tackles, among them Tom Punt, Steve Engstrom, Terry Eyman and Brad Rother, were redshirted last fan. Punt, Engstrom and Eyman win be third-year sophomores, while Rother, the brother of former Comhusker defensive tackle Tim Rother, win be a fourth-year junior.

ft- "In fairness to those kids, they're an really coming off a scout-team year," Tenopir said. "For the most part, they havent been running the offense for a year, so that makes a difference. "The No. l's are so far ahead, simply because they've played a lot" Turn to: NU, Page 15 prooaoiy navent come along as well as I'd team 51. Brad Ferguson, LB 52.

From The Associated Press Just when it couldn't get any worse for the Baltimore Orioles, it got grotesque. The Orioles lost their 16th straight game to start the season, their trouble turning to travesty Friday night when the Kansas City Royals scored nine runs in the first inning and romped to a 13-1 victory at Kansas City, Mo. "It is embarrassing. It looks like we're starting to accept losing," fumed Baltimore manager Frank Robinson, who unleashed an obscenity-filled tirade at his team in a closed-door meeting after the game.

"Tonight was not a professional baseball game as far as the Baltimore Orioles were concerned," Robinson raged. "We played like losers. They're starting to expect to lose." The Orioles' woes reached new proportions as they extended the major league record for season-opening losses and their club mark for consecutive defeats. Kansas City started the game with seven straight singles, setting a team, record. Willie Wilson and Kurt StillweU capped the first-inning carnage with triples, while the bumbling Birds contributed two errors.

But in the following months, I had to test again for scouts, on the average, three times a week AU the pressure was on at the combine, but the teams still came right back to test me. The worst that I ran was 4.65 on grass and I ran 4.58 for the Minnesota Vikings. "Sometimes, I would have to work out for more than one team in a day. I would test for one and then as I was leaving, test for another team. "I was disappointed on draft day be-, cause I thought that I was a top 15 pick.

My 40 time at the combine hurt me, even though that was the slowest 40 that I ran. There is a big duplication of information. And we're pestering the colleges to death by the way we're on campuses, looking for more and more information aU year round. We could spend a lot less money, be just as effective, maybe more so, and not bug the colleges as much as we do today." Tim McDonald, former USC Afl-American defensive back, got a good taste of draft preparation testing last year. McDonald was picked by the St Louis now Phoenix Cardinals as the sixth pick in the second round, 34th overall.

"Last year, I went to the combine in late January," McDonald said. "Every team was there to watch us go through every test: the 40-yard dash, a 20-yard shuttle run, vertical jump, bench press and a complete physical The combine bines: United, which serves 19 teams, and BLESTO, which serves sevea The 49ers and the Los Angeles Raiders do not belong to either combine, but an teams share in the cost of a special combine meeting for players eligible for the draft each year. This year, 332 players went to Indianapolis for testing the week after Super Bowl XXIL Even after attending the combine workouts, however, players are still visited by scouts. From the beginning of February until draft day, scouts fly into town and, on a moment's notice, put players through their own drills. Some refer to the NFL's draft preparation as "paralysis by General Manager Jim Finks of the New Orleans Saints calls it "overkUL" Finks told the New Orleans Times-Picayune: "We are guilty of overkill.

By Lonnie White, of The Los Angeles Titnes For many college seniors, Sunday is the big day, the first day of the National Football League draft But for the NFL teams, Sunday win mark the end of a kmg process. Every NFL team sends scouts around the country in search ol the best talent Every team tries to out-scout its rivals by testing potential draftees. Despite available information on. every senior from previots tests, scouts still show up on college campuses to work out players and gather more information to feed into computers. Some teams the Denver Broncos, Dallas Cowboys and San Francisco 49ers reportedly spend more than 41 million a year on scouting.

There also are two scouting com "I do not agree on how the combine and the draft process work. It is often too political. It can hurt some and then sometimes it does not matter, depending on the name of the player. The combine definitely weighs too heavily because some players who did not participate at the combine went from a fourth-round pick to a second, just by living off their name. AU of the workouts after the combine seem irrelevant because the teams stick to what they want anyway." Derrick Taylor would probably agree with that Taylor, a former North Carolina State cornerback, was not picked in last year's draft He signed as a free agent with the New Orleans Saints, after months of testing for NFL teams.

"You never knew when the scouts were coming in," he said. "You had to just keep yourself available for the scouts at any time. "Even though I started for two years, I had to find out when the scouts were coming for our other comerback, Nelson Jones, (a. fifth-round pick of the San Diego Chargers), in order to be prepared for a workout in advance. "Once I tested for the (Pittsburgh) Steelers on a bad ankle.

The scout had me go through only a few drills at half speed because, he said, that he or someone else would be back to test me in a month. Yes, the Steelers did come back; they came back to test Nelson Jones, and not me." Jerry Simmons, USC strength and conditioning coach, often is theliaison between the scouts and Trojan players.
