MCE SX Ohio State Boasts Powerful Backfield Ohio State Coach Woody Hayes, who emphasizes a rock 'em, sock ’em type of foot ball, lias probably one of the most solid backfields since he took over the coaching reins in 2951. Although he lost probably the greatest runner in Buckeye history, Hopalong Cassady, Hayes still boasts an abundance of break-a-way runners plus an exceptional quarterback in Frank Ellwood, whose play-calling, running, and leadership has been superb this year. In his backfield Hayes has Don I * ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Sutherin, who has been battling j Don Clark for the starting posi tion since the first game, at left halfback. Sutherin is considered the most talented back on the dub. He is the best passer, hard est-hitting back, and the team's best punter. Clark Highly Rated Clark, only a sophomore, is onc <it the fastest backs on the team and is considered by Hayes as an outstanding prospect. He won the starting berth with his fine pre-season practice showings. He and Sutherin alternate at the left half spot during most of the game. Eliwood started all nine Buck eye games last season completing nine of 23 passes in OSU’s "pass less offense” in 1955. He also av eraged 3.1 yards in 84 tries. Roseboro Best Back Apparently Hayes’ best back is senior Jim Roseboro. vho aver aged C. 3 yards last season, tops among the regulars. This year he is the team’s leading ground gain er and is also one of the top de fensive backs on the squad. Back ing him up are sophomore Dick Leßeau. a converted quarterback, and Ken Thompson, who has good speed and runs hard. Don Vicic and Galen Cisco are the two leading men for the full back spot in Saturday’s game. Vicic has been getting the start ing berth in most of this season's games, although Cisco has seen plenty of action. ! Vicic is the Buckeye’s bread and butter runner. He is an excel lent four-yard back, a jarring Lion Harrier Outlook Doubtful By VINCE CAROCCI The loss of Captain Don Woodrow and sophomore Bob Thompson for Saturday's meet with Navy has changed the Lion cross-country picture from one of hopefulness to one of doubt. Woodrow will be away on a geological field trip while Thomp son has been put on the shelf from 10 to 14 days with an attack of virus pneumonia. Woodrow will be available for the Michigan State meet, however. Although neither figured too highly individually in Coach Chick Werner's plans, they both played an integral part in his team-balance effort. The Lion coach was looking for sophomores Ed Moran, Fred Kerr, and Clem Sehoenebeck to finish among the first five with Wood row, Thompson, and Kirby fight ing it out for sixth and seventh place. To add to Werner's woes. Kirby is troubled by a bad back. He is expected to run against the Mid dies Saturday, but what effect his back will have on him is still in doubt and probably will re main so until the meet is over.
