Nebraska Husker positions and season outlook outlined
Tough Continued From Page B-3 winner Rodgers, there are plenty of fleet receivers, including split end Bob Revelle, who caught 41 passes a year ago, and Frosty Anderson, who caught 15. The running attack, one of last year's few weak spots, should be improved by a pair of highly touted sophomores, Tony Davis and John O'Leary. Maury Dambroger, a strong blocker, holds down the fullback spot in the Husker formation. Defensively, tackle John Dutton, a 6-7, 248-pound product of Rapid City, S.D., is being talked about as a strong candidate to become the third straight Husker to win the Outland Trophy as the nation's outstanding lineman, following Glover last year and Larry Jacobson in 1971. The Husker blackshirt defense will be put to a strong test early when Nebraska opens the season Sept. 8 in Lincoln against UCLA, one of the nation's best wishbone teams.

International basketball rules differ from U S play
AU reports on contrasts between U S and international basketball rules as explained by Davis. Key points include lane width widening to 19 feet, 30 second shot clock, two and a half steps travel, out of bounds off whistle, differing goal tending rules, two timeouts per half, no three point plays, defensive ball after foul, and late game foul shot or inbound option. Davis notes U S teams adapt slowly to these international subtleties.
