About the Lumberjacks Nich-
olson savs "We are having to
adjust our plajors' attitudes to
emphasize the running game
more Last season we were
able to depend on the sensa-
tional big plav to get us out of
the hole This jear we want to
be able to establish a depend-
able ground game "
The main factor In the ax-
men's running
"Hopkins is looking greater
this fall than he ever has" ajs
Coach Hughes "He's doing a
much better Job of controlling
his speed and stajing behind
his blockers until he gets into
the open He also is showing
some spcct.tcular moves and tht n
lowering his head and vhouldei
and running ovir folks when he
needs to" Hughes adds 'But
the biggest improvement is that
he is catching the ball much bet-
tei than he ever has"

speed is the povvtr running of
