Spring football drills at Iowa State will start in April—and that's about as definite as Coach Clay Stapleton can be about it.
Originally the Cyclone mentor had planned to start replacing the Dirty Thirty on April 4. He did, however, set up alternate starting dates of April 8, April 11 and April 19.
Stapleton must replace four men from the 1950 team that gained national attention as the Dirty Thirty. Capt. Dwight Nichols, All America halfback; Bob Anderson, left end; Jerry Schoenfelder, left tackle; and Tom Ferrebee, left guard, all closed out their collegiate careers last fall. A squad of 57 men will work this spring to rebuild the 7-3 team of 1959.
"We expect Tom Watkins to be our leader again this fall," Stapleton said in discussing prospects. "Tom is beyond question one of the finest fullbacks in the business. His speed and power will be the key to our continued success."
There will be 21 lettermen ready for action this fall.
The outlook isn't bright for the Missouri Tigers in their outdoor track season this year.
They're painfully thin in several events, and prospects are even dimme. For Danny LaRose and Bob Hanneken.

Hurdler John Ullery also missed the conference indoor meet and will probably run only the 440 and medley relay.
I lose, shotput, is wearing a cast on a fractured wrist and Hannekne, two-waller, is out of shape after a battle with pneumonia.
Top Tiger athletes should be Dick Cochran, who is defending his NCAA record with the discus and who is an Olympic hopeful; and a trio of sophomores—Jim Baker, 440; Don Smith, shotput and Jim Streeby, hurdles.
Baker was involved in a spill during the Big Eight indoor derby and Streeby had a fifth in the high hurdles.

Approximately 90 candidates reported for spring football at Colorado yesterday.
Coach Sonny Grandelius will hold five sessions weekly (excluding Friday). The Buffaloes will take a week off halfway through the drills for spring vacation and will wind up the 20-day period with an intrasquad game Saturday, May 7.
Thirty-four holdovers from last fall's varsity squad, 24 of them lettermen, plus 48 freshmen will make up the nucleus of the 1960 squad.
Not included in these figures are three lettermen—Quarterbacks Gale Weidner and Frank Montera and Halfback Nick Counter — who are members of the baseball team and, as such, excused from spring grid drills.
"We're very anxious to get started," Grandelius said Wednesday. "We felt that the varsity was just beginning to handle itself well at the close of last season. We're hoping for continued improvement this spring. And we also want to see how the new men will fit into the picture. We'll have a very interesting spring. I certainly hope the weather continues to be as nice as it has been for the past two weeks."
Speed in the backfield—a big Colorado deficiency last fall—will be one of the major problems Grande-
Lopez Hails Sievers Trade
SARASOTA. Fla.—(UPI)—The acquisition of Rov Sievers from the Washington Senators was hailed by White Sox manager Al Lopez today as a "good move which should make it that much easier for us to win the pennant."
Lopez, who predicted another Chicago flag prior to the Sievers deal, said Sievers would be invaluable as a pinch-hitter and as insurance just in case first baseman Ted Kluszewski or Minnie Minoso can't play the full season.
and his staff will be trying to solve.
Missouri's baseball team appears to be headed for another winning season despite the fact that they have lost last year's four leading hurlers.
The Tiger hitting should offset the lack of seasoned pitchers. Although the sound lacks veterans on its mound staff, many of the hurlers are highly rated newcomers.
The three big sticks for the Tiger
squad should be Gene Orf who hit
.600, John Scowcroft, 426 and John
Weives, .309.
Robertson and West to Lead 12-Man U.S. Olympic Squad
DENVER —(UPI)— Oscar Robertson, Jerry West and five other collegiate stars dominate the team which will attempt to maintain U. S. basketball supremacy in the Olympic games in Rome this summer.
The team, which also includes four National Industrial Basketball League players and one member of the armed-forces all-stars was named early yesterday, following the three-day Olympic trials at the Denver coliseum.
Six of the college stars selected by the olympic committee paced the NCAA university all-stars to a 124-97 victory over the Peoria Cats Saturday to win first place in the trials.
Pete Newell of California, who coached the all-stars, will coach the
Collegians of the team include six members of the trials champions: Robertson of Cincinnati, West of West Virginia, Darrall Imhoff of Caliormia, Terry Dischinger of Purdue, Jay Arnette of Texas, and Walt Bellamy of Indiana.
The seventh is Jerry Lucas of Ohio State, a member of the NCAA championship team that beat Phillips Oilers, the NIBL title holder, 87-77. Saturday night to take fifth place in the trials.
NIBL members on the squad are Bob Boozer and Allen Kelley of the Peoria Cat, Burdie Haldorson of
Phillips, and Lester Lane of the Wichita Vickers who played with the Oilers in the trials.
The 12th member is Adrian Smith of Army, a member of the armed forces all-stars that whipped the NCAA college all-stars, 98-85, Saturday for seventh place in the trial.
The 17-man selection committee also named 12 alternates. An alternate will be added to the olympic squad only in case of an injury or other mishap to the original dozen.
