[NU Sports] New QB's and prospects for success

[Roy Lamberton]

One more thing - Bacher` has demonstrated that he will take off and run - did it
in a couple of Spring games, and looked good behind our O-Line. 

Kafka is also a hoss running back, and don't be surprised to see a few QB
running plays early to make the D play honest with our QB.

The long pass game is a big question mark, altho Bacher` did put a few down
field in the Spring game, Kafka can do it also.

I don't know why, but I have this feeling the Bacher` might just come out and
take the position by storm this summer. He's somewhat of a cool customer, but he
also likes running a football team, and he'll fight to keep it if he winds up
#1, which I really think will happen.

Of course I've been wrong before
