DAYTON DAILY NEWS 9-1) aa A Best' Ohio State Freshman Team Evaluated "Another one of your boys from over there at Belmont, Larry Quails, has been our regular center right along and doing a consistently good job. And there's a walk-on (unre-cruited player) from down your way who's going to win his freshman sweater Terry Stout, a middle guard from Xenia." Still another potential starler is Larry Zelina, one of the most ballyhooed players at recruiting time. He's another big halfback, from Cleveland, who was hurt in the high school All-Star game and never fully recovered all fall. By JIM l'LHiilSON, Dtfljf New Sports Writer IT TOOK only one question about Ohio State's freshman toot- ball team to tuni on Tiger KllLson, who handles the yearlings for UYkhIv Hayes. This is the group that is supposed to he the best in OSU hislory or the hest in many years, depending on Hie enthusiasm of the rater.

"The one host player on the team?" repealed Kllison. "Oh, my goodness, Woody keeps asking me that, too, and I can't tell bkn either. "When you talk about the best player, you have to say Rex Kern, Jack Tatuin, Leophus Hayden, John BroekinRton. And you can't leave out Doug Adamsand how B'boUt Mike SensibflUgh and Tim Anderson. "There's no such thing as the one besl player on this learn.

There are so many good ones, real good ones, and it depends on what position you're talking about. "I've got six awards to hand out at our football banquet and 1 thought I'd just go over the films of our two games (victories over Indiana and Pittsburgh), grade them and go from there. But there are so many boys so close I just couldn't do it. Now I'm going over the films of all our Friday scrimmages and grading those, too. I just had to do it," Ellison continued, the words rolling like a tidal wave.

WHEN TIGER starts naming names, it seems there are more talented backs ready to move up than linemen. The former Middletown high school coach has an answer for that, too. "We've been getting good linemen right along and we've got some more this year. But the thing that makes this an outstanding freshman team are these big backs. These are the old-time Big Ten backs that we haven't had in the five years I've been around here.

I mean those 200 pounders who can run the hundred in 10 seconds." In this category are Roosevelt's Honda Hayden, 6-2, 201; Brockington, 6-1, 215, from Brooklyn, and Tatum, 6-0, 200, from Passaic, N. J. "Halfback, fullback, it doesn't make any difference. These boys are so big and fast they can play either place. They're boys with the ability 1o make the big play.

In one of our games, Brockington ran a trap piny for about three yards and suddenly broke daylight and went 70. The only tiling Hayden needs is to learn to catch the ball. He's never been used as a receiver before. "Woody only loses one player out of his starting hackfield this fall (halfback Rudy Hubbard), but I'm going to give him TERRY STOUT Xenia Middle Guard LARRY QUALLS Kelmont Center DOUG ADAMS Xeiiia Linebacker LEOPHU8 HAYDEN Roosevelt Back He'll come off a pass play and go 50 to 60 yards with a run. "And I'll tell you something else.

My other quarterback, Ron Maciejowski from Bedford, isn't too far behind him. He has to play somewhere. He's got great hands. He could make it as a split end, maybe. "But we've got Jan White, too, to take over for Billy Anders (the Sabina product who graduates).

This White has Anders' hands plus speed. White just missed the national high school hurdles record. And size, my goodness, he's 6-2 and weighs about 205, and what moves he has. "DOUG ADAMS, your boy from Xenia, has to be a starter. There's no better linebacker around than him and he's a big one, about 230 pounds.

Jim Stillwagon (Ml. Vernon) is going to play in the defensive line somewhere and Mike Sensibaugh (Locklandl and Tun Anderson (Eollansbee, W. Va.) have to be in the defensive backfield. more than that. If some of these boys don't play next fall, they're going to make All-Americans out of the boys playing ahead of them.

Kern is the best quarterback I've ever coached. He's got a good chance to step right in there and play." THE ALL-STATER from Lancaster, who also expects to play basketball at OSU, is a scrambling 173-pound six-footer who will be trying to chase two-year regular Bill Long, of Steb-bins, out of the quarterback job. "Rex oan do anything with a football," says Ellison. "Name the game and he'll do a good He's a better runner than a passer, but there's nothing the matter with the way he throws that ball either. "I eall him a flutter runner," Tiger went on.

"You can't tackle him. I don't think Earl Brace's secondary (varsity) has tackled him clean yet this fall. He runs straight at a tackier, gives hiin a left, right, left and he's gone. He steals the show. TFBPf SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSe ammmmmmwmWVmm sWlTsTTTr ealTI L.

Former Ohio Stale gridder Gary Moeller, who took the Miami freshman job after a successful tenure at Bellefon-laine high school, admits that "we don't have a truly great athlete that has a starting varsity job wrapped up. "We have a lot of kids who hustle, have a good attitude and like to hit people. You never know how they're going to pan out, but I think we have some pretty good prospects." MOELLER 'S FIRST frosh (earn won three of five decisions, whipping Dayton, Xa-vier and Ohio U.

and dropping a couple of close ones to Cincinnati (7-0) and Bowling Green (16-14). According to their performances as freshmen, Mike Pa-lija of Barberton, Kenny Roll-best shots at varsity jobs. Palija is a safety man, the others linesmen. Elaig and Cousins were primarily offensive tackles, but I'm sure they could all move to guard or even play defense if that's where they're needed most," Moeller said. Schembechler will have to find replacements in the offensive backfield for tailback Al Moore and wingback Jim Shaw.

The most likely newcomers are Ed Maloney, a 195-pounder from Youngstown, and Jay Rennett, a 190-pounder from Akron. However, the current varsity has some rer of Wadsworth. Mike Klaig of Menford and Phil Cousins Fnninpprincr HOURS: MON.PRI. 7:10 AM TO RM SAT. I AM TO 12 NOON 647 W.

3rd ST. 224-1868 COAST TO COAST GUARANTEE of Columbus East have the promising reserves and both Maloney and Bennett may have to wait for their chances. THOMPSON, the sophomore who quarterbacked the 1967 varsity, is primarily a running threat, but Schembechler would like to see his throwing improve. Thompson will be facing additional pressure with the arrival of frosh signal caller Art Strimel from Barberton. Strimel likes to put the hall in the air and threw for five touchdowns and 612 yards in his five games tins fall.

A number of promising frosh were lost due to injuries and Moeller didn't get much of a chance to look them over. Included on that list are tackle Phil Hawk, a 6-5, 230-pounder from Ashland, and Steve Dix, a 200-pound center from West Milton. The Redskin varsity lost two games because of a poor kicking game and the frosh booters apparently aren't ready to offer too much help. Neither Flip Irish, a native of Lima, Peru, who went to. high school in Massachusetts, nor Bellefontaine's Rick Pa.xton has shown great consistency.

This means Schembechler will probably go with Arthur, the sophomore from Chaminade who got in a few kicks this fall under game conditions but worked extensively on the art In practice.
