Boston Bullpups Only New Foe for KU Jayhawkers
BACKING UP the potential BU aerial attack will be a strong running attack, both inside and outside—to "keep the defense honest," according to Sinko. With Meadows ramming from the fullback post and halfbacks Hugh O'Flynn, Joe DiPietro and George "Butch" Byrd, Sinko has probably the best rounded offense in his six years as head coach at BU. Meadows, 205, is expected to rank with the nation's top fullbacks this year. He was voted to several all-opponent teams last year and gained prominence as a 60-minute player. As powerful on defense as offense, Charlie looms as Sinko's best fullback since Sam Pino in 1954.
The '62 version of the Terriers will feature a completely veteran first unit, boasting speed as its primary asset. Daubney, who saw extensive service last season as both a passer and punter, could become one of the top aerial artists in the East. A Dean's List student, Daubney was instrumental in BU's mid-season recovery last year. With the introduction of the lonesome end offense by veteran coach Steve Sinko, Daubney will be able to pass as much as he wants.

The Boston University Terriers opened its pre-season workouts Aug. 31. Heading a returning list of 19 lettermen were co-captains Tommy Daubney (Tonawanda, N.Y.) and Charlie "Choo Choo" Meadows (Newark, N.J.).
Pino in 1953 halfback spots should be the Terrier's strongest positions. With the return of O'Flynn off the injured list and the blossoming DiPietro a year ago, this combination will have their first opportunity to run together since their high school days at Portland, Me. O'Flynn, who doubles in track, is reported fully recovered from a broken ankle that sidelined him all of last year. DiPietro has deceptive speed and doesn't have to take a back seat to any of his peers. Backing up the duo is Byrd, and before the season is too far along he could be pushing for a first string spot.
In the sophomore ranks, Sinko has some promising prospects in halfbacks, John Mulvaney and Jimmy Banks. Both made impressive showings with the Pups a year ago.
IF THE LONESOME end offense is to prove successful for Coach Sinko, the second half of the pass combination will have to equal Daubney's throwing ability. In this department—the hardest hit by graduation in June—Sinko has some speed, but not too much experience. Leading candidate for the starting role on opening day is Bobbie Horton. Although Horton was not credited with a reception last year, he did see extensive service on both offense and defense. He is the fastest man on the BU squad. During the spring he wore pigskin gloves during practice in an attempt to develop better hands, and from the spring game it would appear he is developing into a good receiver.
Converted halfbacks Albie Stonkus and Tom Prebola will be out to earn the berth for themselves. Stonkus, who sat out last season with a leg injury, was the favorite target for Daubney in their freshman year. His strongest asset was his receiving ability and he had the speed to earn himself a starting role at LHB. Prebola has not had the extensive game experience that would make him a proven ballplayer, but his older brother made quite a record as a Terrier receiver and Prebola is out to prove good ends run in his family.
The tight end position is pretty well under the control of Nick Marchese, who is noted for his stamina and strength. Although not particularly outstanding for his receiving ability, Nick has proven that no one can afford to let him roam free. With Steve Albrecht and Ed Meixler coming up from the freshman squad, Sinko's concern over the end situation could prove to be a lot brighter than his pre-season forecast.
them up are George Lombardo and Dick Fannon. Although both saw game experience last year, only Lombardo lettered.
THE INTERIOR LINE poses many problems for Sinko and line coach Hal Kopp. The first unit is experienced and big, but again depth is a major problem. With Paul Kolman and Ned Handy starting at the tackle slots the Terriers will not have to take a back seat to anyone in New England. Both are over six feet and 225 pounds, however, neither were '61 starters. Backing
"Big John" Henry is expected to be pushing everyone before the season is out. The former all-Metropolitan star is the biggest (6-5, 240 lbs.) candidate BU has had at the tackle post in quite some time. (Continued on page 13)

Should your child go to College? Of course he should. In today's world, a man without a College education is unfairly handicapped. Nearly every good position demands a College degree.
As parents, this is something we must consider. Costs of education are increasing and many of us simply don't have the money a College education costs.
Your Kansas Bankers have worked out a solution based on the increased earning ability of the College-Educated man himself. It's a good risk because surveys show that a college graduate will earn about $150,000.00 more than his friends who stopped after High School. Here's how the bank education plan works... you or your child borrow the money from your local bank. Your bank may lend to you or it may
lend directly to your student child at regular low bank rates, with your signature as endorser. Most banks have been making this type of loan for years.
On the other hand, if a student has successfully completed his freshman year of college and his parents are unable to borrow for him and he is otherwise unable to obtain credit, then he may be eligible for the USAF (United Student Aid Funds, Inc.) program through your home town Kansas bank. These loans are endorsed or guaranteed by USAF, Inc.
Three requirements:first, there must be a genuine need; second, the student must have successfully completed his freshman year; third,the school must be a member of the USAF plan, which most Kansas colleges are. Both men and women are eligible.
