Hopalong Gets Waiver Notice From Eagles 11 By United Press International Howard (Hopalong) Cassady, the highest paid rookie in the Na tional Football League seven years ago, today was just one of nearly two dozen veteran players look ing for jobs. The red-haired Heisman Trophy winner of 1955, whom Woody Hayes, his coach at Ohio State, once called "the greatest football player I ve ever seen, apparent ly lost his job with the Philadel phia Eagles to rookie back Ron Goodwin of Baylor. The youth-conscious Minnesota Vikings pared the most number of veterans from their ranks six, including s 1 x - y e a r - pro tackle Frank Youso, to meet the NFL'a final pre-season limit of 43. The Vikings in turn picked up two second-year defensive tackles, Bill Wilson and George Hultz, from the St. Louis Cardinals for a fu ture draft pick. Two injured Baltimore Colts' veterans, defensive tackle Bill Ventura and defensive back Bob Boyd, were placed on the injury waiver list and flanker Bake Turn er, a two-year pro, was cut. In addition to" Cassady, the Eagles asked for waivers on line backer John Nocera and defen sive tackle Joe Lewis, both mem bers of last year's squad. Veteran offensive tackle Charlie Moore and defensive back Jim Kerr were lopped by the Wash ington Redskins in addition to four rookies. All players placed on waivers Tuesday are subject to claim by other clubs within each respec tive league within 48 hours. If a player is claimed, the original has a 24-hour period in which to exercise its option of recalling him. The injury waiver list is aimed at removing an injured player from the active roster and still retaining him under con tract, to be reactivated later. Gary Knafelc, a nine-year vet eran end from the Green Bay Packers, signed with San Fran cisco, but the Forty Niners cut former Chicago Bear quarterback Dick Norman. the flanker halfback and end. When the flanker splits out to the right, the flanker end will split to the left. When the flanker back runs from the left side of the forma tion, the flanking end will go out to the- right. The coaching staff Is presently eyeing junior Gary Heeter and transfer Eddie Mendenhall for the flanker end post which will key the passing offense. Heeter, re garded to have the best pair of hands on the squad, is a one year letterman. Mendenhall, a sopho more, was regarded as a Grants Pass' top sophomore prospect be fore transferring into Roseburg. The coaching staff regards both as top pass receivers. Rugged Defense But the big focal point of the optimism is still the defense, which Indian opponents are going to find tough to crack. The Tribe lost only three defensive starters, All-American tackle Doug John, and backs Brothers and Al Joelson. The oth er lettermen lost by graduation are Wed., Aug. 28, 1963 The News-Review, Roseburg, Ore. 9 ends Spike Moore and Vcrn Oil man. ' 205-pound senior Doug' DuFresne appears to be the top candidate to replace John at this point in the game. The trio returning to Thomp son's four-man defensive forward wall are 215-pound Terry Rudolf, 220-pound Jess Hart and 210-pound Dennis Frank. Rudolf and Frank are seniors and Hart is a junior. And when the opposition gets past the forward wall, those rock 'em, sock 'cm linebackers are all back from last season. There'll be 210-pound Mike Leep, 185-pound Dick Yost, 175-pound Vince Peetz and 160-pound Dick Gwaltney as the top candidates for the lineback ing posts. Dave Butler, a 165-pound senior end on offense, is the lone return ing defensive back from the basic 4-4-3 defensive squad. Other returning lettermen are tackles Don Bocrste, 190-pound senior, and Monty Kershner, 185 pound junior; guards Bob Palma teer, 185-pound senior; and Tom Thomas, 165-pound junior; senior center Dick Yost, 185 pounds; and junior halfback Bob Burgess, 175 pounds. Burgess, the fastest back Rose burg has had since 1959, is consid ered one of the top candidates for the (eft halfback spot. Remick, who has played the number two quarterback's role be hind the All-American Brothers for the past two seasons, is regarded as showing a 50 per cent improve ment this season by the coaching staff. Passing-wise, he holds the edge on accuracy in the short toss department, while the junior Vas terling is considered a better long pass thrower. Vasterling quarter backed the junior varsity squad last season. Ninety players turned out for the initial practice sessions this week and about a dozen more arc ex pected when school starts on Tues day. This is somewhat lighter than the turnout last season, with the most marked reduction . coming from the sophomore class. Last year, some 55 sophomores turned out for football, while only 35 have turned out so far this year.
