Jennings plans switches in assignments 'for' Marts' By Jim Raglin When the University of Nebraska football squad starts spring drills Monday it will be "what Coach Bill Jennings -calls "the greenest in major college history." -But the lack of experience among candidates hasn't prevented Jennings from viewing Ihingswilh a touch of 7 optimism. "I feel we will still be better than last year with most of the improvement due to more team speed," said Jennings on the eve of workouts. (from end to halfback), 'McCashland (center to fullback) and Zaruba (halfback to fullback). And he will have 16 rely'plcnly on sophomores next season. Tentative Alignment By-position v.

here's how Jennings plans to use available lettermcn at the start of workouts: Ends Lee; tackles Mongcrson; guards none; cen ters-none; quarterbacks Tolly and Stinett; left half Marti right 'half McCashland and Zaruba. "Naturally, we will adjust as we go along and some boys may be moved to other positions," Jennings said. Much of his optimism is based on hoped-for improve-ment by squadmcn from a year ago and frosh especially frosh who sat out much of last season due to Injuries. However you analyze it, Nebraska will lack a valuable commodity experience. How much speed it will gain, as Jennings predicts, Will be up for observation by fans during tho next month, climaxed by a May 10 game against the Alumni, the guards, Scarbrough the ends and Monroe theccnlers.

Jennings said he would not concentrate coaching any one spot, but devote his work to all positions. "I'll probably work less with the backs than with linemen," he said. This is his second season at NU as head coach. lie came here iii 1956 as backfield coach under Pete Elliott. 'More Scrim mages, Jennings said he plans to put his charges through more full dress scrimmages this spring than he did a year ago.

"We will scrimmage at least once a week, and, most likely, twice. We will do our scrimmaging In the Stadium to get the boys used to it and other big plants, "Some of our boys coming up from the frosh haven't played before more than 2 or 3 thousand fans before and they have to get used to the Idea of said Jennings. Staff Changes Combine the few lettermcn, fewer seniors, position changes, plus the numerous sophomores on the roster and Jennings' work seems cut out for him and his staff. The staff, too, has had some Gone is Jack Landry and new are LeRoy Pearce and Gordy. Pearce is top assistant to Jennings and will" handle the backfield' along with Warren Schmakel during spring Gordy will work exclusively with the tackles.

11 Vets Back His 1958 Huskers will include 11 lettermcn from the 1937 squad that won one of 10 tilts. Just five of, the 10 were consistent starters-End Mike Lee, Center Dick McCashland, Halfback Larry Naviaux, Tackle Don Olson and Quarterback Harry Tolly.
