A Nebraska team has never played Kearney State in tennis. NU TENNIS coach Ed Hig ginbotham said the Huskers' record doesn't really indicate the team's strength.

"Naturally, we would like to win more," Higginbotham ad ded, "but we've been playing well, and the boys have all im proved." The weather has been one of the team's main prroblems, according to Higginbotham. "We have had rough, rugged weather all spring," he said. "We could use some favorable weather."

Morell: defense . Proving itseli 1 by STEVE SINCLAIR Assistant Sports Editor Pat Morell will be one of the biggest boosters of Nebraska's offense next fall. It's supposed to be powerful, and he hopes it is. But if it isn't, the defense will be ready. "IF IT GETS down we will win a lot of games Consequently, he wasn't surprised when the black shirts dominated the offense in last Sunday's scrimmage. "It was just a case of the defense beating the offense man to man," Morell said. "PEOPLE DON'T realize it, but we have a lot of good players on defense," he added. "Last year's second team de fense could have beaten a lot of teams." Morell points to players Morock, and Ed Periard, who have played behind Dana Stephenson, Al Lar son, and Ken Geddes. "These guys are just get ting their first chance to prove themselves," he said. The former Kansas all stater from Wichita West is battling Bob Terrio for the starting linebacker position opposite all-America candi date Jerry Murtaugh. TERRIO WAS on the blackshirts for Sunday's scrimmage after Morell had held the spot all spring, but Morell was graded higher in the films and has returned to the first team. "Bob is a good football player," Morell said of his rival, "but I'm not going to ruin my black shirt chances again." Despite the fact hat he and Murtaugh are the only returning linebackers with experience, Morell isn't worried about depth. He said that Jim Branch and Bruce Hauge would help make the linebacking position stronger. The sophomore in pre-dentistry added that it is a big advantage to play alongside Murtaugh. "You never have to worry about his side," he said. MORELL IS a former Lincoln resident and played foot ball as a sophomore for Lincoln Northeast before moving to Wichita. His family has since moved to K;iasas City. Morell's brother Joe is a freshman at Missouri where he was a varsity wrestler this past season. Morell saw considerable action as a sophomore, . at first backing up Murtaugh and then dividing time with weakside linebacker Adrian Fiala. The 6-2, 217-pounder said his biggest thrills were playing well against Colorado and Oklahoma and stopping well established players Bob Anderson and Steve Owens. SPRING PRACTICE is always physically tougher, ac cording to Morell with practices often running over two hours in length. However, he said that this spring it has been more enjoyable than last. 432-0111 to relying on the defense this fall," Morell said. again rrrwsw ASm jobs Continued from Page 2 The Free University Committee will arrange free, non-credit courses on topics of interest to students.
