Crew readies
for 'Rose Bowl
of rowing'
Last year wnen me umvcrny
rowing crew competed in the Head of the Crwrles
Regatta at Cambridge, Mass., they were a little brash.
They've learned their lesson.
"We entered the Elite division a year ago, said
advisor Art Thompson, "and we had to row against
Harvard, the Naval Academy and Cornell, all of
whom have been national champion."
Nebraska's right-oared shell finished last of 23, but
its time would have beaten most teams in the
intermediate division. This year the team entered the
intermediate division and is hoping for better results.
"We know we're not going to beat Harvard,
Thompson said, "but we won't finish last either.
Well beat some people."
The Head of theCharles, otten reterrea 10 as w
Rose Bowl of rowing, will be Nebraska's toughest
competition of the year. There are 250 teams entered
in Sunday's regatta.
The Nebraska crew rowed its first race in April
1971, but coach Allan Maybe doesnt feel
inexperience will be a factor.
"We're as good as any crew in the country," he
said. "The only difference between our crew and
those of the Ivy League schools is equipment. Our
crew practices in shells 42 years old, when we're not
repairing them. Eastern schools have new
equipment."
Maybee said the crew has University approval but
no direct financing. The Athletic Dept. cannot fund
them because crew is not a Big Eight sport.
What Thompson terms "skin of the teeth funding"
includes recreation department funding-$300 last
year to help build a dock, $200 matched by Corn
Cobs and $600 this year to help buy a shell.
Since a new eight-oared shell costs $3,400, the
crew is looking for a newer used one.
To supplement this income, crew members sell
shares in the new boat to football fans on game days.
This has brought in another $400.
"In order to be successful we need one eight-oared
shell that won't need repairing every day," Thompson
said. "After a while this gets to we crew s
Nebraska's squad of eight will leave Wednesday
afternoon, driving straight through to Cambr.dge on
Friday. Three of the eight-Pete Zanberger Joe
Mahaffey and Jeff Dodge-made the trip to the Head
of the Charles Regatta last year.
"The oarsmen put in their own money for these
trips," Thompson said. 'They're each putting in
about $15 of their own for this trip, and in addition
to that, they buy their own uniforms. There is a
tradition in rowing that the losing team must give
their shirts to the winners, so that can run into a lot
of money, too." , , . .
On the way back the crew will be looking at a used
shell that the Naval Academy is selling. Thompson
said that because there are so many more used shells
for sale in the East than the Midwest, a large part of
the price of a shell is transportation to the Midwest.
There were 20 returning varsity members at the
first crew practice this fall, along with 40 freshmen
and sophomore candidates. The team has been
running five miles a day and sprinting up and down
the football stadium steps 20-30 times a day for
conditioning.
Injuries jinx Jayhawk offense
David Jaynes, the strong-armed junior
quarterback behind Kansas' pass oriented
offense, will probably not play against
Nebraska in Lawrence Saturday.
Jaynes suffered a deep bruise in his right
shoulder when he was stopped short of the
goal on a two-point conversion attempt late
in the third quarter in Kansas' 20-19 loss to
Kansas State last week.
But the Jayhawks' quarterback problem
goes farther than Jaynes.
KU j. head coach Don Fambrough
indicated Monday he will not start junior
Rich Jones who had. a poor showing in the
fourth quarter against K State. Jones is the
only healthy quarterback at Kansas.
Both freshman quarterbacks were injured
in a frosh game last week, precluding the
possibility of moving one of them up to the
varsity for the Nebraska game.
Bob Bruegging, who was about even with
Jaynes last spring, will resume practice this
week after missing early drills with a back
injury. It is doubtful that he will be
completely healthy, either.
As a result, Fambrough is working with
starting flanker Bruce Adams at quarterback.
Adams, who leads Kansas' pass receivers
with 23 catches for 471 yards and six
touchdowns, was a high school quarterback
and quarterbacked Kansas' freshman team.
Nebraska coach Bob Devaney says the
situation won't cause major changes in the
Cornhuskers' preparation for Kansas.
"We've got to figure that Kansas can't
make a drastic offensive change in a week,"
Devaney said. "We'll probably have to work
a little more against their running game this
week, but we can't assume that they won't
be throwing the football."
Nebraska may also be short-handed in its
offensive backf ield Saturday.
I back Gary Dixon, who suffered a
fractured jaw against Missouri, was also
treated for a bruised knee Tuesday and was
listed by Devaney as "possibly a doubtful"
for the Kansas game.fullback Bill Olds, who
has a fractured bone in his hand, didn't play
against Missouri but is expected to see action
Saturday.
