 Columbus, O., August l5-fUP) The debut of youthful Paul Brown, the miracle man" of Ohio High School football into big time college competition has the grid- iron fever running higher than us- usal in this pigskin-conscious city.
 The 32-year-old coach who is taking the long jump from Massil- lon High School to Ohio State Un- iversity in one leap finds himself landing squarely in the fire.
 The Buckeyes have only three regulars and 10 other lettermen returning from the squad which last fall split even in eight cons tests in seventh and last year of the reign Of Francis A. Schmidt here.
 Somewhat sensitive to outside criticism for being tough" on coaches, Ohio State fans will lean over backwards to give the new coach a chance but their patience and tolerance may be soFely tested before the season ends.
 Schedule To Be Tough
 As usual the Buckeye school has an eight-game suicide" sehed- ule with only one open date and no breatherS between Missouri on Sept. 27 and Michigan on Nov. 22.
 But already there is talk "he can lose lem all and we won't kick" as regards the personable Brown who has made hit With his can- didness and his business-like meth ods of coaching.
 Browns biggest problem is in the backfield. The Buckeyes lost Don Scott, Capt. Jimmy Langhurst and Jimmy Strausbaugh. The new Buckeye mentor can put 8 quartet of experienced backs in the start- ing lineup In quarterback Jack Graf, left halfback Dick Fisher, fullback Johnny HallabEin and right halfback Tom Kinkade.
 A powerful thunderbolt from the freshman squad is expected to have something to say about the start- ing hackfield, however. He is Paul Sarringhaus, 8 200-pile driver whom Schmidt tagged as surefire All -Amrica before he resigned at the University of Idaho. Ohio State will be well fortified at the tackles, Capt. Jack Stephen son, Thorton Dixon, Toledo, and Jim Daniell return for their third year.
 Veteran Centr Lacking Brown will have 8 letter winner at every position except center, Bill Bell, 8 letter winner at the pivo Bell, a letter winner at the pivot position has been drafted, Bill Vickeroy, senior, and Earl Martin, sophomore, are expected to i'll the gap.
 Three veteran ends return in Sam Fox, Charles Anderson and Pete Hershherger.. Bob Shaw, ( feet 4, 2l5 pounds, and Leon Schoenbaum, feet, 200, are two promising first-year candidates for flanker positions.
 A couple of husky sophomares, Hal Dean and Lynn Houston are expected to give veterans Tritz Howard and Ed Bruckner a stiff battle for the No. l guard assign. ments.
 Bruckner's draft status Is doubt. ful. He is enrolled in the collegs oi agriculture and may be deferEed. Brown 18th of Lime
