doilu Ex-Huskers make player-coach shift Former Husker teammates Jim Anderson and Guy Ingles are once again representing Nebraska on a football field. Both are graduate assistant coaches with the freshman team. The position of graduate assistant is little known and misunderstood by several people. Many people feel the job is a gratitude position given someone while he completes his education. This simply is not true. Neither Ingles nor Anderson are attending UNL any longer. "Both of us desired to coach on the college level; thus, we asked to become graduate assistants as several former players do every year," Anderson said. "Many people think we receive large salaries and do little; actually our salary is very small and our job entails quite a bit of work," Ingles said. Anderson's duties include coaching the freshman defensive backfield, helping compose f I m breakdowns of varsity opponents and recruiting throughout Minnesota and Wisconsin. Ingles said lie basically is "in charge of freshman offensive passing and receiving." bob h 0f "Freshman Head Coach Jim Ross is the real authority in every game; however, we (the graduate assistants) are left to coach our respective positions," Anderson said. Ingles said he found the most difficult task in being a graduate assistant was the conversion from varsity practices as a player to freshman workouts as a coach. 'The freshmen require much more patience, and often I expect them to know things they simply don't know," he said. "Both Jim (Anderson) and I believe we're important cogs in a winning freshman footlwll team. If we can do our jobs well and at the same time acquire knowledge on many intricate facets of coaching, then every moment spent as a graduate assistant was indeed an invaluable experience," Ingles said. Sprained knee sidelines Sanger for next game According to Paul Schneider, Nebraska head football trainer, kicking specialist Rich Sanger will not be available for this week's game against Wisconsin. Sanger was injured in the North Carolina State game. Schneider describes the injury as a "severe knee sprain."

Soccer team stays unbeaten The UNL soccer team remains unbeaten with a 3-0-1 record after a tie and a win last weekend. The team tied Concordia College 1-1 Saturday and lx;at the Omaha Packers, a senior amateur team, 3 0 Sunday. Dave Egr, Doug Trenerry and Trygue Fekjan scored the goals in Sunday's game. According to Ron Wheeler, UNL Soccer Club president, the team is in better physical condition than last year at this time. "Our main asset is that we get to the ball faster than our opponents," he said. "Conditioning is the key." The team's next game is against Kansas State Sunday at Manhattan. 17th at "O" 435-5114 daily nebraskan 4. "t.-rL. " itil (IMS! NCAA schools split Bv Dave McBride Although fans likely will not see any immediate changes, the nation's major college football powers will be able to determine collectively many athletic policies independent of the small colleges beginning this fall. The National Collegiate Athletic Assoc. (NCAA) split its 667-member schools into three divisions in a special convention this summer. The 126 schools now classified as major football powers, including Nebraska, are automatically placed in Division One, while other schools may choose their classification. Interdivision competition will be allowed. The advantage of the reorganization is that the major football powers now will be able to make rules that are better adapted to their athletic programs, according to Don Bryant, UNL sports information director. "This was not a rebellion situation at all," he said. "It will just enable the major colleges to do more of what they want to do in terms of their coaches, players and fans." Each autonomous division now will be able to shape policies regarding recruiting, eligibility, scholarships and financing to meet the needs of the division's members. Although the change was primarily for the benefit of football programs, the reorganization will involve all sports, Bryant said. All policies still must conform to NCAA constitutional requirements. "The football people brought it about," Bryant said, "because the major college football people were tired of having rules decided by two-thirds of the people playing small college football." While talk of an NCAA split had been controversial in recent years, the reorganization plan was approved by a 366 to 13 vote this summer in Chicago. The new plan also established a minimum of 39 national championships under NCAA sponsorship, with at least 10 in each division. WHAT'S HAPPENING AT j :; T1IK KAIL? A GOOD TIME! i !!
