Nebraska football coach Tom
Osborne did not single out a major
factor for Nebraska's 33-23 vic
tory over the Missouri Tigers.
"the defense played weil and
the effort was good," Osborne
said. "We could neutralize their
offensive line very well and cause
turnovers."
Osborne said the offense played
good sometimes, but other times
played very erratic. Travis Turner
and Qraig Sundberg both con-
tributed to the game and playe.

The Nebraska men's and
women's swimming teams are pre
paring for the 1984-85 season
with hopes to improve their fin
ish of a year ago.
In last year's competition, the
men defended their Big Eight
title, which they have held for five
consecutive years. The women
hope to climb one step to surpass
their second place finish.

We are young, but we have a lot of

Osborne said Doug DuBose and
Jeff Smith had fine games rush-
"We were glad to see Jeff Smith
back on the field," Osborne said.
"We hope to have him at full
strength for Colorado."
Osborne said he was mildly
disappointed with the kicking
game. Dale Klein missed a 49
yard field goal, and the return
teams had some key fumbles.
Osborne said Missouri had
great athletes on the field.

Bentz said he forsees problems
in the breaststroke events.
"We have four people compet

"Out of those people, three of

Bentz said he has concentrated
on endurance training, in pre
season workouts.
"As preparations progress, we

"We were concerned how we
would hold up after our tough
stretch of games. They had a con
fidence that they could beat us."
Osborne looked ahead to the
Colorado Buffaloes, Nebraska's up
coming opponent. Osborne said
Colorado will play with a tre
mendous emotional effort. ,
"Colorado points to this game
as being their biggest rivalry,"
Osborne said.

Among the top returnees are
Ernie Duran, the Big Eight
champion in the 1650 meters,
and Tim Brinner in the 100-meter
breaststroke. Bentz said that the
800-meter relay should challenge
for top finishes.
The women's team has a let of

Happert. The women have no

Mark Mauer, who scouted Col

State, said the Buffaloes' record
is not indicative of the football
they play.
"They are not great, but they
are capable of beating people,"
Mauer said.
"Their offense is spread all over
the field," he said. "They throw
