Nevada U. Boasts Of 1948 Grid Team RENO, Nev., Sept. 8 VP Practically everybody In this fast moving mountain metropolis Is talking football. The sell styled Biggest Little City In the World' apparently Is coming up with. Its best University of Nevada team in history. Scholarly Joe Sheeketskl, the wartime FBI man, Is confident he Is coaching a winning club this season. His optomism Is In contrast with last year, his first here. Inasmuch as Nevada won nine of its eleven scheduled games In VM7. a solid record In any league, the current outlook of the head man must be con sidered slgnifcant. Nevada has a veteran, If small squad, which Includes 32 letter men. Only 37 players are suited up. They are not hand picked, merely the complete turnout. Sheeketskl. who nlaved half- hack on the 1931-32 Notre Dame teams, gained his coaching ex perience at Holy Cross, Iowa and his alma mater. He is a T-forma-tlon teacher and because of this particular system. Nevada's grid iron fortunes may rise or fail on the week-to-weeK physical condi tion of one nlaver. The player is Stan Heath of Menominee, Wis., who transfer red from the I'nivprsity of Wis consin two vears ago. Heath, 6. feet 2 inches tall and 1!H) pounds, runs the works on of fense. He is practically a one-man ball club. His replacement, Alva Tabor, leaves a considerable gap. His coach compares Heath to Notre Dame's last great quarter back. John Lujack. "He's a typical pro league passer, throws a rifle pass and Is cool under fire," is the way Sheeketski describes Heath, '"and he Is one of the best on defense It is my belief that Heath will be one of the finest quarterbacks In the country this season."
