The spring turkey hunt this year has been declared a by many disgruntled hunters but John Jacobson of Lincoln and his hunting pals Pat McKinney, also from Lincoln, and Lyle Woita, Beatrice, grin knowingly and shake their heads. It necessarily so. Jacobson and his partners had a perfect success percentage all scored on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, one each day. The gobblers were bagged in the Ft. Robinson area weighing in at pounds.

21 pounds and 17. All weights were undressed when recorded. All were using 12-gauge shotties with No. 4 doing the damage. Calls Unique bagged his about 3 Friday Jacobson said, I got mine the same time on Saturday.

Pat shot his Sunday morning. we have any luck with our call (Lynch box) in getting the gobblers lo answer. However, we did find the secret we just made a loud He grinned, most successful one was banging on a hay manger with a pitchfork. gobblers would answer any loud noise. I called for Pat and had a gobbler answer me.

That was the one I be said seriously. he was sure strutting in front of a flock of hens when I nailed Afternoon Better With two out of three gobblers bagged in the middle of the afternoon, one could almost contend that the afternoon is better hunting than morning as predicted by hunters prior lo the opening of the season. Jacobson agrees with the p.m. time element. we checked in, 1 noticed that the gobblers were taken over all hours of the day, but more were signed in during the afternoon than any other he offered.

Louisville, Ky. Mother Nature and Doc Lavin will help make the final decision, but for the moment 17 horses seem likely starters in 96th Kentucky Derby. Ail 17 trainers are keeping wary eyes on the sky over Churchill Downs, some hoping for rain, but most fearing it. They also are concerned with the results when Lavin, the racing secretary, draws for post positions Thursday morning. With a possibility of the largest field since Tomy Lee won in 1959, post position will be a serious factor.

Most trainers favor a starting gate near the middle of the pack or toward the rail from center. Two candidates Supreme Quality and Fathom were withdrawn Wednesday from Derby consideration. Supreme Quality because of a foot problem and Fathom because of a poor showing in Tuesday's Derby Trial. The loss of Fathom means the men sign still hangs over the Derby jockey room, Diane Crump would have been the rider. My Dad George is the probable early betting favorite for the classic, which starts at 4:40 p.m., CDT, Saturday and will be carried on national television and radio by CBS.

The colt still is having a little nasal trouble, but Millerick has prescribed brief sessions with a vaporizer and feels it is clearing up. Trainer Del Carroll confirmed that Panicum Repens, who was third in the Trial behind Shield and George Lewis, would not be considered for the Derby. High Echelon, fourth in the Trial, will go in the Derby as an entry with Personality, said trainer John Jacobs. needed a good and got added Jacobs. Only Dr.

Behrman and Native Royalty, among the 17, settled on definite riders, but trainer Jimmy Conway is considering Chuck Baltazar for Dr. Behrman. Bill Hartack, who had also been wanted for Dr. Behrman, will be aboard George Lewis seeking a record sixth Derby victory with regular jockeys Ray Broussard on My Dad George, Eddie Belmonte on Personality, and Bill Shoemaker on Terlago.

Promotions In Husker Defense By HAL BROWN Star Sports Editor Although it was the defense that dominated the most recent Nebraska football scrimmage Sunday, it was in the defensive platoon where most of the promotions took place Wednesday as Husker coaches shuffled the lineups. Two sophomore tackles moved to the top defensive unit for the first time in spring drills with Rich Glover, a 6-1, 225-poiinder from Jersey City, N.J., moving up at left tackle and Tom Robison, a from Detroit, taking over the No. 1 post at right tackle. But head coach Bob Devaney said Glover was still being considered for duty at middle guard. switching him and Ed Periard at times with Periard going to tackle and Glover playing middle Devaney noted.

Periard, who had been dropped to the No. 2 unit a week ago, was back with the No. 1 Black Shirts along with weaksidc linebacker Pat Morell, who had lost his No. 1 job last week to Bob Terrio. looked a little better than Terrio when we studied the films of the Devaney explained.

John Adkins also moved back to the No. 1 unit at defensive right end. Moving up on the offensive platoon were flanker Jeff Hughes, who was bumped from the No. 1 unit a week ago by sophomore Johnny Rodgers, and tight end Jerry List. Advancements to the second unit included quarterback Bob Jones with Van Brownson and Jerry Tagge alternating with the top unit, and defensive hack Joe Blahak, a sophomore from Columbus.
