Offensive Unit
Led By Backs
The backfield, the passing and
the receiving all shape up as
strong points, but the line leaves
something to be desired.
Edd Hargett is a quality quar
terback while fullback Wendell
Housley and tailback Larry Ste-
gent are proven performers. Such
receivers as Bob Long, Barney
Harris, Tommy Maxwell and Jim
my Adams, all of whom can
alternate at wingback or split end,
and strong end Tom Buckman
offer Hargett excellent targets
for his passes.
In addition to Buckman and the
split ends, there are two other
returning starters in the offensive
line, center Jack Kovar and weak
tackle Carl Gough, both juniors.
Both of last year’s kicking
specialists—punter Steve O’Neal
and placement kicker Charlie

changes during the early day:
