He worked as a student assistant in the Sports Information Office at Michigan State before coming to UNI.

A nucleus of 30 returning lettermen gives Coach Stan Sheriff plenty of talent to choose from ; now things like progress and breaks have to fall in place. Of 15 departed letterwin ners, three veterans vacated the interior trenches on the offensive line, UNl 's most troublesome question mark.
