Prospects

1963 is a rebuilding year at UMD . Coach Jim Malosky faces the task of moulding a chal-

lenger without 10 top performers from last fall's MIAC runnerup. Graduation's toll is being felt at end, guard, center and halfback. Center and end arc of particular con-cern.

The departure of Fran Murphy, Gordy Johnson, Gus Kohl ts and A I Hansen has created the problem on the flanks. Dave Nystrom and Jerry Wherley leave a huge gap at center. Ed Galarneault and Jack McDowell have graduated from tackle and guard spots respectively.

While Malosky is expected to search for answers until the last moment, these are the current indications.

END-Sophomores Dean Hoglund and Bill Kuusisto are slated to go both ways, with Ron Murphy , a jack of all trades backing them up. Freshman prospects are good but time is needed before they will be ready for game action.

THE PROBLEM-Hoglund and Kuusisco are sophomores with little game experience while Murphy is new co the position.

TACKLES-A solid position with Dick Carlson and Rob Galarneau It as offensive starters and Dick Kosreliz joining Carlson on defense. Marty Rosen and John Sweeney pro· vide good depth.

THE PROBLEM-None critical with experienced veter· ans available. ·

GUARDS-Dave Schwartz is a fixture with the ocher position up for grabs. Senior Bob Tusler has che inside track with newcomer James Wollack in contention.

THE PROB LEM-Position I a ck s real strength and depth, due to lack of size of che top candidates and limited i,ame experience.

CENTER-Two converted guards, Bob Dahl and Pat Fahey man the position. Neither lettered last fall. This is a real problem spot.

THE PROBLEM-Neither man is at his natural posi-tion. Fahey saw limited action at guard I as t fall while Dahl seldom played.

The departure of starting halfbacks John Nachtsheim and Bruce Johnson have < reared the backfield problem.

QUARTERBACK-Returning regular Bob Naslund and last year's top frosh, Ray '-iorsted provide a solid one-two punch.

THE PROBLEM-The search for a third man co back up a talented pair is the only problem here .

HALFBACK-Dick LeBeau, Rick Thomson and transfer Roger Halverson are the top candidates. LeBeau, the MIAC 100 yd. dash champion, and Thomson are the likely first game starters.

THE PROBLEM-A real lack of game experience. LeBeau has carried the ball 41 times, Thomson only 4, while Halverson is in his first season. Speedster LeBeau has averaged almost 7 .4 yards per c arry and is the key to success .

FULLBACK-Starter Ken Schloer is ch,- hest fullback ever at UMD. lie is backed up by letterman Norm Mattson, who appears to have shaken his injury woes.

THE PROBLEM-If Schloer stays healthy there are none. Otherwise the lack of depth caused by the move of Dick Fisher (to end) could be a factor.
