quarterback Steve Vasterling. Vasterling and senior Jerry Remick are considered the top
prospects to replace Ail-American Paul Brothers in the signal-calling slot for the Indians
this season. Eorly indications are Remick holds the edge in short pass accuracy, while
Vasterling is the better long pass thrower.

The Roseburg coaching staff,
faced with the necessity of finding
replacements for All-Americans
Paul Brothers and Doug John,
are looking optimistically forward
to a fine football season sparked
by a powerhouse defense.
The Indians will test their
strength against Willamette in
their season's opener at Willa
mette Sept. 13 and then return
home to unveil their 1963 squad
before the Roseburg fans against
Springfield Sept. 20.
New Offense Dot
With Brothers, a great triple-
threat quarterback, gone from the
starting lineup, coach Roy Thomp
son will feature a new look in the
Indian camp which opens up the
passing game. The Thompson
Tribe will switch from the Wing
T to the Flanker T and will put
senior Jerry Remick or junior
Steve Vasterling in the pitching
pocket. ..
The key to this offense will be

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.

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

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.
The coaches hope to have a var
sity, junior varsity and sophomore
team again this season to give the
underclassmen more game exper
ience.
The team is nrpenntlv nnlnn
