2D May 10,1970 Lincoln Sunday Journal and Star i II. Most Questions Answered Satisfactorily Bob Pleased With Progress by good progress," he summarized, "and the offense is certainly better at this stage than last year." Turning to the defense, which returns only linebacker Jerry Murtaugh, cornerback Jim Anderson and tackle Dave Walline as starters from the rugged 1969 unit, Devaney ex By DON FORSYTHE Bob Devaney concluded Saturday that many of the qustions which were prominent at the start of spring practice have been answered to his satisfaction. "Considering the number of vacancies we had to fill the defensive group has made real pressed optimism that the Cornhuskers would have a good unit again. "Inexperience In the early games may be a problem, but we should have a sound defense," he said. One of the big question marks was the end positions.

"In general the defensive 1'l I i 9 White, Rogers Contribute Field Goals To Offense Jit?

'Jjiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiliiiiniiiliiiiiiiiiiiiiilliiiliiiiiiiis Alpine Skiing INDIVIDUAL STATISTICS NIAC Off ends progressed well. Willie Harper progressed about bs far as anybody in the couple of weeks he worked at end. I don't know if he's the best yet, but he played well for as," he said of the Toledo, Ohio, rookie who started spring ball at middle guard. "I thought our young tackles did a good job.

It's not good to go without Dave Walline and Larry Jacobson all spring, but it gave us a chance to take a good look at some of the younger players. Rich Glover, Tom Robison and John Dutton made good progress." Devaney conceded that "we don't have a Ken Geddes or Wayne Meylan at middle guard," but added, "we're not hurting, either." Ed Periard and Bob Pabis each had a good spring." The Cornhusker coach points to linebacking as being a strong point, led by Jerry Murtaugh. "Jim Branch had a good day Saturday and Bruce Hauge has played well," he said of a pair of red-shirted sophomores. Turning to the secondary, Devaney noted that Jim Anderson's play reflected the experience he had gained as a sophomore, "Dave Morock had a good spring and Paul Rodgers did some good things, too," he added. Secondary coach Warren Powers observed "we're a long way from being ready to play a game yet, but we've come a long way with some young kids who don't have much game experience." In discussing the offense Devaney for "two reasonably good offensive lines and offensive backfields" come next fall.

"We'll have to get some help from a few sophomores besides Johnny Rodgers, bat I think we'll be all right." The center spot, one of major concern at the outset of spring practice, is no longer regarded as a critical area. "We've had some improvement at this position and the first three (Doug Jamail, Bill Janssen and Doug Dumler) can be adequate, although we're not sure which order they'll be in. We're not planning on moving anyone else to center," he said. Feature Races At Pimlico punt in the third quarter. In addition, one punt was foiled when center Doug Dumler snapped the ball over Longwell's head.

The most serious White scoring threat was the one that was stopped at the three, setting up the field-long march by the Reds under Tagge's direction. And that White drive was kept alive by two pass interference calls. The Whites with sophomore quarterback Bob Jones at the controls were faced with a third and seven at the Red 41 when they got a first down at the 20 on a pass interference flag. Then with a second and goal at the 19 after Jones had been thrown for an 11-yard loss, another pass interference call gave them a first down at the nine, but the Red defense stiffened and held at the three. Kinney was the leading ball carrier for the afternoon, gaining 69 yards in 20 carries.

In the passing department, Brownson was 1-3 for the Whites and 5-19 for the Reds while Tagge was 7-19 for the Whites and 6-10 for the Reds. The Reds took a 9-; lead In the second quarter with a Tagge pass interception by sophomore Tom Robinson, a bright new face in the defensive line, setting up the score. To Be Killed? Amsterdam US) Avery Brundage, president of the In-ternational Olympic Committee, declared Saturday that "Alpine skiing does not belong to the Olympic program" and warned that the Olympte Games could be "doomed" if commercialism continued. Brundage, the American president of the IOC, called commercialism a "poisonous cancer" of various Olympic winter sports, which must be eliminated without delay. He was talking only a few days before the IOC committee was due to vote on the site for the 1976 Games.

White put the Reds on the scoreboard in the first quarter with a 36-yard field goal and veteran Paul Rodgers toed a 22-yarder through the uprights in the third quarter for the only White tally.

Tagge had moved his White team to the Red 46 in the first quarter when linebacker Bruce ftauge picked off a Tagge pass. Midway in the second quarter, Tagge's White outfit was at its own 35 when Tagge fired a long pass to Jim Anderson, but the Jeff Kinney Leading Rusher veteran defensive cornerback was wearing a Red uniform. Then moments later with Brownson and his Red teammates at their own 31, Brownson's pass was thieved by Henry Jennings.
