European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - November 19, 1987, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Thursday november 19, 1987 the stars and stripes Page 21 prep Pickin s coaches collusion causes conflict maybe opened \ Pandora s Box when i Sci the deadline for nomination for ihc1987 stars and stripes All Europe football Cam i asked the coaches for Complete statistics on their players r also asked Lite coaches to comment on outstanding players on opposing teams thai they had observed this year. The coaches on the Germany aaa  i Appa Hemiy interpreted thai request to mean that they had the Power to limit possible Start and stripes All Europe candidates to those who made All conference. And they made group recommendations accordingly selecting Only those players who were named to their respective All conference earns that smacks of collusion. Whatever happened to individuality i should like to set the record straight right Here right now. Beine named to an All conference team is not never was and never will be a Cri Terion for stars and stripes All Europe consideration. A reason for that is the theory of Many coaches that All teams should have at least one player on an All conference team. The More names we get in the paper deserved or not. The belief appears to be the better it is what Hogwash u always has been my Contention hat no deserving player should be left off a team so that a less deserving player on another team can be selected just to give that team representation. However the worst team in any league might Haven outstanding performer who Rece Jucs practically no support. In that Case he certainly should renamed All conference and should be nominated for All Europe consideration. Another reason for not restricting All Europe consideration to All conference selectee is that coaches Are Only human and the tendency is to rank their own players High and opponents players Low when the Talent is about even and it appears As if Only on of the two players might be selected. Every year i seek nominations from the coaches from their team for All Europe consideration. I also request information concerning the outstanding players on the opposing teams. I really appreciate All that outstanding cooperation. However this a the stars and Stripe All Eor pc team. When restrictions such As All Confer ence selection Are imposed the s4s team could lose its credibility. The deadline for nominations from All individual coach is saturday. 1 should Hope that All coaches have enough interest in their players to make recommendations for All Europe consideration and that everyone also wiil comment on opposing players so that the Best Ever Slars and stripes All Europe team Ben Abrams can us Attu Tinl. The Impact Riewen made on the Germany a Central football program this year is reflected by in fact hat no fewer than seven Griffins players that s right seven out of 12 made the All Confer ence team both ways. Griffins selected by the conference coaches included receiver defensive Back Chris Williams offensive defensive linemen Thomas Volt and Dere Adamson running backs linebackers Terry Donnell and Alton Mcneill quarterback  Back Cal Vin Peterson and kicker punter Eddie Bachtel Karls Ruhe s Lenny Lesure also made it both ways in the Backfield. Other players tabbed for their skills on Offens included receiver Lance Hamilton Berli linemen Ray Carter osterholz Don ditch Fulda and Bret Palmer bad Kreuz Nach. Completing the defensive contingent were linemen Jeff Smith gics i Rob in Neufeld Fulda and Jason Miller osterholz and linebacker Marshall Todd Berlin three performers Heidelberg s Ron George rams in s Mike Ghent and Wiesbaden s Rob Neal were accorded two Way recognition when the Germany aaa coaches met to select heir All Confer ence players. George was named As a Light end and defensive lineman Ghent made it As a running Back and line Backer and neat was tabbed at Center and As a line Man. Others chosen to the team on offence included ackors Cedric Whittington Kaiserslautern and Ca sino Powell Stuttgart guards Ken Mcleod Kansor Slauter and Allan Sercey Ramstein wide receiver la Mitchell Stuttgart quarterback Lance Koss Ramstein running backs Nadi Leonard Mannheim and Dwayne Anderson and kicker Tim sailors Ramstein. Defensively the rest of the cast included linemen Opo Letuligaseno Mannheim and Billy Jenkins Ramstein linebackers Clint Kirk Heidelberg Andy Saulz Engeter Wiesbaden and Pete Mcdowell Mannheim backs Chris Beecher Stuttgart enc Robertson Frankfurt and Tom Randolph Wiesbaden and punier Percy Vaughn Kaiserslautern it is very difficult id comprehend How Ramsten s Brad Glosson and Brian Jarvis were overlooked bythe aaa coaches. Glosson an end had some super receiving statistics 14 catches for 365 Yards and six touchdowns in regular season play. Jarvis was out standing on defense intercepting nine passes including three in the big schools championship Victory Over Nuernberg. These omissions. I believe give credence to my expression thai the coaches wanted to make certain every team was represented. Tilburg s Mike St. Julian was the Only Germany a performer to be chosen both ways making it at offensive guard and linebacker. Others picked onoff Ense included n Ghi end Anure is lifer Luz Fri Berg. Tackles Bob Slaley Wuerzburg Ami Vasa Atilo Nuernber guard Dave Slivka Nuernber Center Stuart Babbit Wuerzburg split end Jame Collier Baum older quarterback Cedric Jones Pitburg running bocks tyke mix Tilburg Terry Golden Nuernberg and Reggie of bomb Hanau and kicker Pat Mckinley Nuernberg. Joining St. Julian on the defensive team were line men Eddie Simon we Bruecken. Doyle Cockrell Nuernberg. Bob Williams Pitburg Eric surface Hanau and Rick Voisine Wuerzburg. Linebackers Joe Baker Hanau and Tim Bowman hatchbacks Keith Rosier we Teaburg Daryl Moss Hanau and Vince Killcy Tilburg and punter Jim Cash Wurzburg. Perhaps there was a mis listing in the selection of the kickers and punters on the aaa and a squads because a kicker was put on defense and a Punie was placed on offence on each squad by the coaches. Someone who boots three Field goals and converts on32 of 34 Pat kicks is definitely on offence someone who kicks the Ball generally on fourth Down endeavouring to put the opposition in As deep a Hole As possible has executed a Man Euver on at foot. Munich s mall Hillman and Vilseck s . Palais were the two Way performers named by the a South coaches Hillman earning recognition at tackle Andon he defensive line and Jalaila As running Back and linebacker. Rounding out the offence were ends John Howell Ulm and Keith 01 Plum Bambur tackle Tony Walt Bamber guards John Berta Augsburg and Steve Talbot Bamberg. Center Mike Ghiglieri Munich quarterback kicker Jason Feins Munich and backs Dennis Wilson Bamberg and Tiger Fredrick Augsburg. Other defensive luminaries chosen included line men John Eagle munic Hsia Loolu Ansbach Dave Hall Augsburg Ujj. Mason and Curtis Thom As Bamber linebackers Bruce Smolucha Vilseck Henry Groulx Bamberg and Small Parker Munich and backs Jama Higgins Bamberg and Brad Barton Munich. The name of Mannheim s Jennifer Hall a unanimous selection was overlooked last week when the aaa All conference volleyball team was listed. Jennifer congratulations on your achievement apologize for the omission. Huskers lost look at sooner by Malcolm Mohan new York not a seemingly insignificant agreement Between Mem Bers of the football coaching staffs at Nebraska and Oklahoma has apparently prevented the Cor Husker coaches from seeing film of Charles Thompson the new sooner quarterback in his firs game As a starter last week. Thompson the second year freshman who become the Oklahoma starter after a mlle Holieway suffered a season ending knee injury on nov. 7, committed two fumbles in the surprisingly narrow 17-13victory Over Missouri us saturday. But because of an agreement made Long before saturday s meeting Between the two top rated teams in the country a Deal that Tom of bomb the Nebraska coach said he was unaware of until last week the soon ers have not been obligated to make a film of the Missouri game available to the Nebraska Staft the rules of the big eight conference Cal for a free Exchange of game films. The agreement however was nude altar Nebraska moved its game against Colorado originally scheduled for nov. 14, to nov.28. The schedule change created an open Date for Nebraska giving the corny Skenan added week to avoid injuries and pre pare for the sooner. But since Nebraska would have played 9 game before this saturday and the sooner 10, the agreement was made to limit the film Exchange to the first 9 games. Oklahoma s unexpected struggle in its 10th game wit Thompson at quarterback and Junior Ronci Anderson re placing the injured la Drill can at full than poo Back could leave an opposing staff a void that might be exploited. It s a problem Osboran said during his tidy news conference at Lincoln tuesday afternoon. We re not going 10gei the film. We could t get it from mis Souri it s just one of those  in an Era that has seen coaches make us of satellite dishes and video cassette re corders As scouting Loots it seemed inconceivable that an organization with the re sources of the Nebraska football program would be unable to gain the latest look at Thompson Osborne however maintained that his Only Opportunity to watch Thomp son play against Missouri bad come whence watched highlights on television. Thompson who worked with Oklahoma s Fust unit during Spring practice after Holieway broke a thu in brags similar but not identical to to the position Holieway has held since the Middle of the1985 season.

He had also run 62 limes for j 14 Yards an average 8.3. Even if the film had been made Avail Able this week has not been a Good one for the huskers. Osome said that Dana Erin son a Junior Wingback injured his Bac while lying his shoelaces on monday brio son who also receives punts and Luck ohs was on crutches and Osome did do know whether he could play on  Switzer the Oklahoma coach has not liked his team s play in the last two weeks but he did not mind its position. The musters passed Oklahoma in Bot news service polls this week. The new York times computer rankings place Nebraska fourth and Oklahoma fifth behind Florida stale Miami and Auburn the in juries to Holieway and Carr. And a second consecutive game at Lincoln because of scheduling adjustment by the big eight have made Nebraska the  huskers have not always met Simi Lar expectations. Four times a Switzer coached Oklahoma team has Defeated a higher rated Nebraska learn led by of Bome. Recent circumstances have seemed to create the idea scenario for  the sooner lose they will have been Defeated by a healthier opponent in a bos tile place. If Oklahoma wins for a fourth consecutive year it will have beaten the Odds and the huskers again
