6C Lincoln, Sunday Jonrnal Star. Mar. 2fi, 1972 Four Schools Begin This Week Duo Top lm iri- Spring Football Set to Start in Big Eight Prep Perspective Parade All-Stars George Amundson will return to quarterback this spring and sidelined with a broken foot and other ailments last season, will take over the running back spot. Quarterbacks Dennis Morrison and Brent Blackman, with a year's experience, will carry the hopes of Kansas State and Oklahoma State. Hoping to Improve Missouri and Kansas, too, are hoping to improve on their 1971 records.

Missouri dipped into the junior college ranks and came up with running back Tommy Reamon from Cof-feyville (Kan.) and several others. The Tigers, however, will have to rebuild their defensive team. Kansas will rely on quarterback David Jaynes and running backs Belvin Williams and Jerome Nelloms to move the offense. Following is a list of the spring dates at each school, the final date being the spring game: Nebraska April 3-May Oklahoma-March 28-April 29; Colorado-April 3-May Iowa State April 3-May Kansas State March 20-April 29; Oklahoma State-March 28-April 22; Kansas March 27-April 29; Missouri March 27-April 29. to replace 11 starting seniors among the top Sugar Bowl champion Oklahoma will spend me spring trying to replace quarterback Jack Mildren, who guided coach Chuck Fairbanks' Wishbone-T offense to more 5,000 yards rushing, an NCAA record.

Flock of Candidates Fairbanks has a flock of candidates. Senior Dave Robertson and junior James Stokeley ran No. 2 and 3 behind Mildren last season, but neither saw much action. Incoming sophomores who will be given a shot are Steve Davis, Gary Vorphal and Paul Krause. The Sooners return the rest of their backfield in the form of halfbacks Greg Pruitt and Joe Wylie and fullback Leon Crosswhite.

Those three are enough to cause upset stomachs among opposing coaches during the summer months. Colorado, too, has a plethora or outstanding returnees, including tailback Charlie Davis, quarterback Ken Johnson and defensive guard Bud Magrum. The list goes on and on. Iowa State, Kansas State and Oklahoma State fielded young teams in 1971. Cyclone tailback KANSAS CITY, Mo.

(UPI) Big Eight Conference football, perhaps the healthiest of any major conference in the land, begins anew this week on four campuses. Spring drills will open Monday at Oklahoma, Kansas and Missouri. Oklahoma State will follow suit Tuesday. Nebraska, Colorado and Iowa State will begin drills April 3. Kansas State began March 20.

National champion Nebraska and Oklahoma waged a heated struggle for conference and national honors last fall, the Cornhuskers rallying for a 35-31 victory Thanksgiving Day in the now-fabled Big Red Shootout at Norman. Astro-Bluebonnet Bowl champion Colorado was only a step behind and Coach Johnny Majors' surprising Iowa State Cyclones recorded the best record (8-3) in the Ames university's long history. National Contenders Possible What the Big Eight can produce another national champion in 1972 is a matter of conjecture, but certainly Nebraska, Oklahoma and Colorado have the ingredients. Nebraska, which ran Alabama out of the Orange Bowl, 38-6, will spend the spring trying NWU Hosts SD Nicklaus, Casper In Tie for Lead Turf Paradise Hit by Fire Phoenix, Ariz, iff) For the second time in less than two months a stable fire at the Turf Paradise track has destroyed thoroughbred racing horses. Eight horses perished early Saturday when flames raced through a barn housing 30.

The eight died in their stalls near the origin of the blaze a feed storage room. NEW YORK (UPI)-Major Jones of Rohwer, Ark. and Quinn Buckner of Dolton, 111., two of the most sought after players in the nation, head the 16th annual school basketball All America team selected by Parade Magazine. Also named to the 10-man first team which is selected by high school and college coaches and sportswriters and announcers across the country were: Nino Samuel, Salina, Eugene Short, Ha-tiesburg, Edmond Lawrence, Lake Charles, Robert Parrish, Shreveport, Leon Douglas, Leighton, Walt Luckett, Bridgeport, Robert "Bubbles" Hawkins, Detroit, and Chuckie Williams, Columbus. Ohio.

Jones, whose Desha Central High School has an enrollment of just 280 students, averaged 25 points, 21 rebounds and 12 blocked shots a game while leading the school to a 31-3 record this year. The 6-9, 230-pound sensation comes from a basketball family. His brother Wilbur is cur. rently with the Memphis Pros of the American Basketball Association while another brother, Caldwell, is a star at Albany State The fact that a third brother (Oliver) is an assistant coach at Albany State would give an indication as to where Jones will be heading next fall although Arkansas and Jacksonville are still in the running for his services. The bidding for Buckner is expected to be even more frantic.

A 6-3 guard from Thornbridge, H.S., Buckner was also an All-Chicago area football pick and is the only selection to be named honorary captain of both the Chicago area football and basketball teams. And, in addition to his 24-point scoring average which helped Thornbridge to a 54-game winning streak, Buckner is also an A-minus student. Of particular note among the 1972 squad is Williams, a product of East H.S. in Columbus, Ohio the same school which turned out All Americans Dwight Lamar and Ed Ratliff. A 6-4 guard, Williams is already being compared with his more noteworthy backcourt predecessors at East.

The Nebraska Wesyelan track team will face the University of South Dakota in a dual meet Monday at 3 p.m. at a Stadium. About a month ago (March 3) coach Woody Greeno's Plainsmen whipped the Coyotes, 74-51, in an indoor meet. But NWU trailed through the first eight events before rallying to win that meet. Monday's action will mark the first outdoor competition for both teams.

Led by double winner Bob Graham, the Plainsmen's depth in the distance races provided the margin of victory in the March 3 meet. Graham captured both 600 and 1,000 against South Dakota. Usually an unsigned crank letter gets a quick trip to the wastebasket. But since "A Startled Fan" from Fairbury but one of several people who write better than they read, a comment on the Journal-Star all-state basketball teams be in order. The complaints arise because only Class A players were considered for the Class A all-state tezm sshich was announced last Sunday.

Nobody ever seems to feel a Class performer should be on the Class team (for obvious reasons but every year there are several who think somebody from Class or ought to be on the Class A quintet. The confusion obviously arises because the other paper the state which picks all-state teams not only chooses a fivesome for each class, but then on overall "all-state" Though that team is generally dominated by Class A players, it usually includes one or two standouts from the lower classifications. IVo All-Class Plavoffs It has always been the policy of the Journal-Star that since the so-called state tournament is really four separate tournaments the four winners don't meet each other for an overall championship that no true basis for evaluation exists for mixing the classes on all-state teams. Thus our Class honorees are just as much all-staters as those on the Class A club, just as Adams this year is just as much a state champion as Columbus. It's our humble opinion that the other system tends to reduce the one or two Class A players who make that division's all-state team, but fail to be named to the "big" team, to something less than all-staters.

Despite the barbs in the letters, Kim Veerhusen of Adams, Fairbury's Bob Siegel and George Schroeder of Laurel along with 17 others were accorded the highest possible honor as all-staters from the class in which they competed. The trio in question (which all the letters concerned), probably would have been all-staters regardless of their division. But mixing the various classes poses the old unanswerable apples and oranges problem. Veerhusen Case In Point Throughout the tournament, as Veerhusen bombed the bucket from every angle while setting three new Class scoring records, many were asking, "But what if he'd been against a Class A defense?" Adding to the defense that such cross comparisons are impossible is the fact that the Nebraska School Activities Association doesn't list the Hornet hoopsters new records as "best for any class," though all of his marks topped any previously recorded. It was fun to eavesdrop the argument between one knowledgeable fan, who insisted that a Class A defense would "prove" Veerhusen wasn't a major college prospect, and a recruiter for a Big Eight school (the fan didn't know this at the outset of the discussion), who considered Kim the best player in the tourney and one his school would be pleased to have.

A few years from now such arguments might be resolved. In the meantime Nebraska has four equally and justifiably proud 1972 stale championship teams. Until the NSAA changes its system, that's what they'll remain. And until our system is changed, we have 20 all-staters, five from each class. They are all equal too.

And we're equally proud of each one. Horse Shows Set for April i r-r A TI r' 7U 3" New Orleans iff) Jack Nicklaus came from two strokes off the pace with a scrambling 71 Saturday and tied Billy Casper for the third-round lead in the $125,000 Greater New Orleans Open Golf Tournament. Casper, the 36-hole leader, took a double bogey six on the fifth hole and had to sink a 12-foot birdie putt on the final hole to retain a share of the lead. He and Nicklaus had 54-hole totals of 207, nine-under-par on the mild and sunny Lakewood Country Club Course. Casper, who has led or shared the lead at each of the 18-hole stops, had a hard earned 73 in the third round.

They held a two-stroke lead over a trip tied at 209. They were Labron Harris and Bunky Henry, each with a third-round 71, and Dave Eichelberger, who matched par 72. South African Gary Player moved into contention with a 68 for 210. He was tied with John Lister of New Zealand, also with a 68, and Jim Colbert, 74. Colbert started the day in a tie with Nicklaus for second place but went three-over-par on the first three holes and had to rally to stay in any contention.

Nicklaus, the season's leading money winner with more than $97,000, held the lead alone on three seperate occasions, but couldn't hold it. He had five bogeys, including his third six of the tournament, and four birdies.

Casper, back in action after a month's rest, knocked himself out of sole control of the top spot when he took the six on the par four fifth hole. The 40-year-old veteran pushed his drive into the woods on the right and found a trap with his second. He just managed to get it out with his third, chipped poorly and two-putted for the six. Nicklaus, his playing partner, birdied the hole from 30 feet for a three-stroke swing and sole control of the lead. He made birdie four on the TIRE ROTATION REPACK GREASE SEALS We'll rotate all 5 tires, inflate them to We'll remove and clean your front wheel bearings and repack with grease.

EACH I Trice does not Tireston Reykjavik, Iceland U.S.

chess wizard Bobby Fischer has informed local officials he will not play the second half of his world title match against the Soviet Union's Boris Spassky in Iceland, the president of the local chess association said Saturday. Gudmundur G. Thorarinsson said the International Chess Federation should tackle the problem. Fischer had requested a change in financial conditions for the match and was turned down by both Reykjavik and Belgrade, Yugoslavia. The two cities have been named as sites for the match.

In a second telegram to Iceland Friday, Fischer said that because of "unacceptable financial terms" he refused to play in Iceland at all. Fischer had asked in a cable to the Icelandic organizers that all money left over after the cost of the match should be divided between Spassky and himself. The organizers in Belgrade on Thursday followed the lead of their colleagues in Reykjavik by refusing altered financial conditions. These developments followed reports from Amsterdam that an agreement on financial matters had been reached by representatives of the players and the organizers. The Yugoslav organizers on Thursday cabled the chess federations of Iceland, the Soviet Union and the United States, and Dr.

Max Euwe, president of the international organization, saying they would not accept any change. They said that the organizers, bearing the financial risk, were entitled to any profits that ensued. In Amsterdam, top officials of the International Chess Federation FIDE conferred on Fischer's refusal to play in Iceland.
