The Illini will have a plethora

is, self-defense techniques and Olympic style competition. This bodes well for the offense,
which could only muster 10.6
points per game last season, but
--- -Coach Jim Valek admits that last
year's porous defense, which gave
up almost 33 points per game "is
still not shared up."
[) DEFENSE:
LO rebuild from the bottom up
Offensively, the big question
mark for Valek is the all-import-
ant quarterback position. There
are three candidates for the job,
but all are untested sophomores.j
Steve Livas finished spring drills:
as the number one signal-caller
and he has held onto the job des-
pite strong competition from Gary
Lange and Bob Quinn.
"Livas has the strongest arm
of the group," according to Valek,
"while Lange has good speed and
Quinn is the high-percentage
passer. I only wish I could lump
all three into one.
Valek is hopeful of getting a full
season out of Dave Jackson, a
180-pound senior halfback. Jack-
son showed great potential I a s t
season before coming down w i t h
infectious hepatitis, which forced
him to miss the last seven games.
Teaming up with Jackson will
be Bob Bess, a 192-pound senior
who was a halfback last year and
a quarterback as a sophomore.
Doug Dieken, who stands 6-5
and weight 230 pounds, was t h e
team's leading receiver last year
as a split end and has been moved
to tight end this year, a position
that should be more suited to his
mammoth dimensions.
The candidates for the two wide
receiver positions are somewhat
less than spectacular, but the Il-
lini do appear to be stronger in
the interior line. Valek feels that
guards Doug Redmann and Bob
Bieszczad "are the two best of-

Valek and his assistants have
talked to coaches at Texas and
Houston, the two schools who first
used this style to gain a fuller
understanding of its workings.
Defensively; the Illini sutfer
from a lack of experience and a
lack of depth. They are .also
neither very big nor very fast.
The secondary is totally uncer-
tain and so Valek has switched
from a three to a four-man sec-
ondary. The effects of this v ill
probably be most visible in the
defensive line.
Norris Coleman, who played
halfback in 1967 and not at all last
year, has been moved to middle
guard this season.
John Mauzey, who lettered at
defensive end last year, is the only
returning letterman in Illinois'
five-man front. Sophs will domi-
nate the battles for the o t h e r
three positions and will also play
a key role in the secondary, where
as yet there are no definite start-
ers.
The one shining light in t h e
Illini sieve can be found at line-
backer. Veteran Bruce Erb will be
joined by sophomore Veto San-
tini and both have been impres-
sive. Their only problem will be
deciding which hole to plug.
The Illini had a wicked sched-
ule last season. Their three non-
conference foes were Kansas, Mis-
souri, and Notre Dame. They were
also denied the exquisite joy of
playing Wisconsin. Although they
must again face the Missouri
steamroller, Washington State and
Iowa State will at least give the
Illini a fighting chance. They also
will play Wisconsin.
"In summing up the team. Val-
ek says, "We are playing a lot of
young people in key positions. If
we can get off to a decent start'
this year and gain some momen-
tum, I think we'll turn the corner.
and be respectable again."
But on the other hand, coach,
good losers are respectable, too.
If the triple-option fails, Valek
fensive guards in the conference."
Tom Scott, a 237-pound starter
last year, is a sure bet to hold
down one of the tackle berths, but
the other tackle slot and center
are up for grabs.
In hope of adding more con-
scistency to this attack, Valek has
converted his offense to the triple-
option. The idea of switching came
to Valek during spring drills.
"We knew that some of our op-
ponents would be using it against
us this season,. Valek recalls, "so
we had our offense use triple-op-
tion to see how our defense would
adjust to it.
"As practice progressed, we dis-
covered that we liked it enough to
give it a try."
Coach Jim Valek
can always fall back on the small-
est man on the squad, 160-pound
Dan McKissic. On the rare occas-
ions when the Illini give him a
chance, McKissic's toe is deadly,
and he has kicked field goals from
as far out as 51 yards.

Frank Ryan cut by Browns;
Announcer angers Aaron
SBy The Associated Press
* CLEVELAND - The Cleveland Browns announced last night
that quarterback Frank Ryan and running back Charley Harraway
have been placed on waivers, cutting the National Football League
team's roster to the 44-player limit.
Ryan became a free agent permitted to negotiate with any club
that might be interested in him when none of the NFL clubs claimed
him.
Harraway was claimed by the Washington Redskins and will re-
port to that club.
. ATLANTA - The super slugger of the Atlanta Braves is feuding
Swith the club's radio announcer and Hank Aaron says if the dispute
isn't settled he may give up on his newly announced goal of passing
Babe Ruth on the home run chart.
Aaron said Monday night that he has his sights set on passing
Ruth's home run total of 714, but he added that he will not tolerate
broadcasts by Milo Hamilton "four or five more years."
"I just want the Braves to get Hamilton off my back" Aaron said.
"I would like seriously to go for Babe Ruth's record. I think I could do
it--and that's the only time I've ever confessed it.
"But I am not going to live under this situation for four or five
years."
* MIAMI - Jim Gardner, president of the American Basketball
Association, said yesterday that Rick Barry, who starred last year
with Oakland, would either be playing in the ABA this season or
would have to sit out the next three years.
Gardner told the Miami News his league is taking steps to see
that Barry. the ABA's scoring champion last season, does not jump
back to the rival National Basketball Association.
0 ATLANTA - The Atlanta Braves have picked up veteran re-
lief pitcher Hoyt Wilhelm from the California Angels.
Wilhelm, a 46-year-old knuckleballer who has been in the major
leagues since 1952, was acquired Monday on waivers.
With the Angels, he had appeared in 44 games with a 5-7 record
and an earned run average of 2.46.
. ANNAPOLIS. Md. - A U.S. Naval Academy freshman injured
during football practice last Thursday died at Bethesda Naval Hos-
pital early yesterday.
Joseph D. Anderton, 19, died shortly after midnight. He was the
son of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur D. Anderton of Garland, Tex.
Academy officials said Anderton collapsed during a tackle drill
after complaining of headaches. He was rushed to the hospital where
an operation was performed, but the midshipman died without re-
gaining consciousness.
