ing staff was taking shape gradually today, with the addition of Jim Freeman as line mentor for the Hoosiers.

Freeman, an all-Big Nine guard during his college career here, played al} of his football under the direction of Smith—first af Redstpne, Pa., high, and later at Indiana; where Smith was the line coach from 1934 to 1938. The new Hoosier assistant helped tutor the frosh and varsity squads for two years after his graduation in 1938, and then moved into high school coaching. He was at Brazil for one year, and then at schools in Kingsport, Tenn., and McClandtown, Pa. In 1946 he moved to the University of Connecticut at Hartford, where he coached the line for two years. Athletic Director Paul Harrell said Freeman would be on hand Apr. 1 when spring practice will be resumed after ‘an Easter layoff.
