Sudden emergence of Mike C'Brien, heretofore a question mark in KU's football hopes, could go a long way toward filling the gap at center with which the Jayhawks opened Spring practice.

"I got it hit good a couple of times this spring but it held up real well." O'Brien enthuses. "It feels pretty good now. If I can get through spring practice I'm sure it will be all right."
Now he's up to 95 pounds on the springs and figures he'll go over 100 by summer.
The 6-5, 220-pound junior is in his second week on re-trial as a linebacker and Coach Jack Mitchell is enthusiastic about his comeback. If he can maintain this pace to the end of drills May 9, and if veteran Larry Fairchild continues to improve and Buldyl Walker returns to full-time action, the Jayhawkers will meet Big Eight standards in the pivot next season.
"For the first time since his freshman year," Mitchell said, "Mike is physically able to play. And he certainly has impressed all the coaches with his aggressiveness and enthusiasm."
LITTLE WONDER the staff was concerned over center when drills began. Pete Quatrochi, all-league a year ago even though he played

When he returned last Fall he could boist 80 pounds (60 is playing weight and 90 is the genuine strength pull) with his lame knee. But he was hit hard during practice and it was re-injured. When he began on the training room springs again he could lift only 20. He hobbled all season and dropped almost out of sight. He played briefly a total of five minutes at tackle in the routs of Kansas State and Oklahoma State.
BUT HE was drydocked with a knee injury through the early practice rounds the following Fall. A Christmas-time operation kept him out of spring practice.
O'Brien was a good prospect when he reported in 1961 after a career as an end-fullback at Liberal high. He and Brian Schweda were regular tackles on the freshman club that autumn. Switched to center in the spring, he impressed as a green, but potentially good linebacker.
