Today, playing with the wishbone is one of the most hated games on college campuses including UNL. Cornhusker Coach Tom Osborne announced Monday that the next several spuria practices for h s Nebraska team will be spent working on ways to stop the dieaded wishbone attack. Why has Osborne decided to put so much emphasis u.n Nelaaska's defensive game-1 On Sept. 8, the Coi nhusker s will open their season in a nationally televised game from Lincoln against none other than UCLA. dove sitter istant reploy What makes every Nebraska coach, player and fan a bit jittery, is that UCLA returns three backfield starters from last year's squad that whipped a strong Nebraska team. When Biuin coach Prpx;r Rodgers wheels into town next fall, he will hung along backfield veterans Keimit Johnson, James McAlister and Maik Haimon, Despite all of UCLA's talent, Osborne's squad is far from throwing in the towel or waving the white surrender flag. Th- f ji btaska coach said he e, pleased with his first unit so fai ihi, spnng but has a couple of holes to fill. One of tin- spots giving Osborne trouble is the tackle slot left open by the graduation of Bill Janssen. Three players, Doug Johnson, Dean Gissler and Ron Pruitt have been staging a battle royal all spring trying to win the starting berth on the blackshirt defensive unit.

Faculty joggers grab relay record by Kim Ball It may not go down in the Guiness Book of World Recoids, but 20 UNL faculty members set a new national standard that may last awhile. On April 14, running on UNL's all-weather Track, Doug Dienstbier, Roger Wiegand, Doug Erlandson, Chuck Sayward, Jim Carr, Roy Sneddon, Robert Brown, Don Lins, Henry Baumgarton and Phil Sienna, ran the "10 x 10" (10 people, each, running 10 miles) relay in 1 1 hours, 15 minutes and 6 seconds. Their time eclipsed the old record, held by the University of Toledo faculty, by 19 minutes. Toledo's faculty was the first one to run the 10 x 10 relay. They ran it last fall to commemorate the school's 100th anniversary. Toledo since has issued challenges to faculties at 1,000 schools to break its record. It wasn't really a relay for the UNL faculty. All 10 runners started at the same time, each tunning at his own pace. Their times for the 10 miles ranged from Say ward's 58 minutes and 50 seconds to Baumgarten's 74 minutes and 46 seconds. Sayward, a professor of philosophy, averaged a credible 5:53 a mile. It was Sienna who first heard about Toledo's record and organized the team. "I told some of the faculty joggers and they all kind of liked the idea and they started workinq out for it," Sienna said. Most of the guys run over 30 miles a week," Sienna said. "Chuck Sayward runs 80-100 miles a week. We work out pretty often for old men who have nothing to stay in shape for." What if a college faculty breaks their 10 x 10 record? "I'm sure if somebody treats our recoid, we'll go after it next fall," Sienna said.
