Iowa State football coach Calls spring drills best yet forward Just plain Bob By DONALD K. SMITH Sports Editor, The Tribune Dob Strampe. who iooks more like a young collie youth, than a big time professional bowler and who gives all the credit to his father, Hy. for his basic bowling knowledge pleased a sjroup of bowling enthusiasts at the 20th Century Bowline; Lanes Monday. Kis apparance was doubly exciting For the Ames area bowlers in that first, he is the example of a small (own boy who made good and secondly, he was not a complete stranger to many people around.

Bob spent several months around Ames in 1951 and took part in 'Gems professional hasn't chanaed Bob one iota," one ob Looks to fall season Pan. Six Tuesday, Mav Boys tennis meet May 27 BOONE (UPl) The Inwa High server said, "He is still Bob Strampe and that is a credif lo him, i he has not lost his identify as an individual." I This is vc iy true of many professionals. Many times beinu associated with names in any field lends one to become too com me. cia! in his ar.pi oach nr.d public relation. This was evemplifted as Bob talked casually about bowling and some c.f allied to it.

Bob will be busy for the greater part of the summer bowling exhibitions around the country. He left Ames and will travel to j' Houston, and IT Paso, Texas, From there lie will hit Los Aneelcs, San Jose and San Francisco. Las Vegas or "Lost how j. chixil IxA'r, tennis championships one' greatest thing we had in our spring drills was the desire, both individually and as a squad, to improve." That was Clay Stapleton, head man of Iowa State football doing the talking. "I'm sure that that must sound likv a typical coach's cliche," Stapleton continued, "but it is the truth.

I've never been associated with a spring drill such as this one. The players actually enjoyed the work and yet this was (he toughest spring session physicnlly Tve ever had. We hit hard in 17 oF the 20 workouts and yen a feeling that the men wanted hard work on the other three days, too.

Strampe entertained many spectators last night at the 20th Century eve, you care to pronounce it will be his third stop and then he will suinp; back. In pick up his wife and children who will be staying in Ames with grandfather and grandmother. Asked if it became monotonous making these one or two nigi stands, Bob replied: "No, it is something different every place 1 go. I enjoy talking to people about bowling and I enjoy the sport itself.

Of course, it has now become a job and a way to support tny family and it Is a little different than just bowling for relaxation. However, 1 don't know of any job I would trade for bowling, even at $40,000 a year. Of course, I don't make that kind of money bowling, but it would have to take a job paying that salary to make me even think about changing," Bob said. He then went on to talk about bowling lanes and balls. "You get to know and learn a lot of things about bowling whe you become a professional.

For example, no two bowling lanes ar action. In addition to Friedman, the singles contestants include Jim Williams oi Ames, Mike Sehiavoni of Burlington, Arden Stokstad of Cedar Falls Teachers High, Dick Fuhrmnn of Dubuque, Robert Stock of Grundy Confer, John Wilmcih ol Iowa Citv, and Bill Allen of Bed Oak.

The veterans Dave Happ niann never looked better and yet he had only a slight edge over a pair of brilliant sophomores. i Clay scored six times in the two spring games, averaging 38 yards per score. These tallies ranged from 13 yards to 85. Dave Hoover was the real pleasant surprise to Stapleton. "We knew Dave was going to be a great player for us but we did not figure on his rapid progress," Stapleton said.

He came far faster than we had figured. He will be our First triple threat tailback. He is an outstanding runner, a good passer and a top flight punter." Jon Spelman, the classroom star of the squad, indicated that Iron Man Ardie Essling er, has not left a permanent problem at center, too. Spelman took complete charge of the job in a tight battle with Ray Steffi' nod Tom Parrish. He can't relax but he did show his younger mates that they'd have a real job in getting the starting assignment at center.

Dick Walton and Don Andersen led the tackles with Duane Mar cclhis and Ray Horky holding the first team edge at the ends. Dick Scesniak, Tim Brown and Carl Proto are in a tight fight at the weakside guard "spot. Chuck Stcirnle and Gary Astleford shared right guard but both will siep aside when All American challenger Don Celoui returns.

"The feeling that every member of the squad had a chance for the position he wanted played a great part in the high morale of the drills," Stapleton said. "Ev cry man knew he could heat out his opposition and worked thai much harder to ini "We will have a better football team next fall as a result," Stapleton said.

"You also learn about the balls. For example before started bowling professionally, I didn't know that a ball had four sides and each side is weighted. Of course it is obvious that the ball is round but it has sides, a top and bottom just like a box. You are allowed six ouikcs of weight on a ball, AM balls cannot have any more than an ounce on the bottom and an ounce on each of the two sides. You are allowed a maximum of 3 ounces on the top.

The top is where the initals or trade mark is. This is very important to know because you can control the (rack (roll) of the hall somewhat by the weight displacement on the top, depending on just exactly what you want the hall to do. "It is not all in the grasp, approach, or release, although these things have a let to do with it, "There are a lot of things that can throw a bowler off. sometimes It is something simple such as your approach nr release. Other times it may be something much more difficult that requires a lot of practice.

Strampe said he thought that eveiy bowler should invest in; his own ball and own shoes. "It is a small investment and it usually pays off. Sometimes the shoes might throw you off and many times in using a house ball, you get used fn a particular one and one you might be Iwwling in a league or something you got to get your ball and what happens, someone else has it," he continued. Bob said that most of your bowlers bowl by the spots on the lane and do not sight in on the pocket. Size of top notch bowlers, Strampe had this to say: "Most of the bowlers are about medium heielit and average eei rs ton and his staff liked the position when things ended May 13.

Off his total showing in the spring the starting choice would probably be Bill Smith, the rugged 200 pounder from Grundy Oak. Mike Beecher of Waterloo Columbus, and Jeff Crystal of Center.
