'We haven't won anything yet, but we're not that bad" . . . Coach Sevigne.
Sevigne remains
optimistic despite
harriers' defeats
Nebraska's cross country team has lost both of
their meets this season, but coach Frank Sevigne isn't
panicking yet.
"We did an excellent job in Colorado even though
we didn't win," he said. "It was probably as good a
performance as we've ever made out there. As for
losing to Kansas Sate, we were naturally disappointed
but the kids' times weren't bad."
He said Nebraska probably underestimated K-State
because of their squad's inexperience, and the
Huskers might have been a little apprehensive about
running five miles instead of last season's distance of
four miles.
"We haven't won anything yet, but we're not that
bad," Sevigne said.
He was encouraged by the fact that several of the
Nebraska runners went by three miles en route to five
last week faster than they ran a three mile time trial
over the same course earlier this year.
Saturday morning Nebraska receives what Sevigne
termed "a true test as to where we're going." They
host Missouri in a dual meet at Pioneers Park.
Although Missouri lost heavily through graduation,
Sevigne feels the Tigers may be the toughest
competition Nebraska will face until the Nov. 4
conference meet.
Missouri returns only three lettermen, but Seniors
Steve Wilson and Mark Visk ran on the 1970
conference championship team. Missouri coach Robin
Lingle, himself an outstanding distance runner for
Missouri, termed his team "young, inexperienced but
enthusiastic."
The Tigers have had only one meet this season,
against Illinois, and they won it.
In preseason balloting by Big Eight coaches,
Missouri was picked to finish third in the conference.
Nebraska was tabbed to finish in a tie for fourth with
Kansas State. Colorado was picked in sixth position.

Jim Huge
It was the 1972 home opener for the Nebraska
Cornhuskers and Pat Morrull prepared to take his
position on the sideline. He had done it several times
before. Morrell was a reserve linebacker for the
Huskers the past three years.
But this time one of those aging men in his neatly
trimmed Boy Scout uniform informed Morrell that he
would have to stay outside of the Nebraska bench
area.
It was, perhaps, a rathr-r strange introduction for
Morrell. But it's something he's adjusted to now.
Morrell is one of three former Huskers assiting
Nebraska radio stations in their coverage of
Cornhusker football. Morrell provides commentary
from the sidelines for KFOR.
Jim Huge, who was an academic ail-American at
Nebraska in 1962, also assists KFOR. Huge provides
color commentary in the booth with play-by-play
man Dick Perry. Huge is now principal at Lincoln
East High.
Another academic all American at Nebraska.
Dennis Claridge, . joins the WOW station for color
commentary. Claridge is a dentist in Lincoln.
Morrell is a student at the University of Nebraska
Medical Center.
