New small college division
aids UNL women athletes
A decision by the small college members
of the Association of Intercollegiate Ath
letics for Women (AIAW) of Nebraska, will
give UNL women's athletics "flexibility to
schedule according to our needs and level
of competition," said Aiken Swofford,
UNL women's athletic director.
The Nebraska AIAW met Sunday in
Lincoln. Small college members (3,000 or
fewer women) voted to form a state small
college division, leaving UNL and UNO the
only large college representatives in Nebras
ka, according to. Jay Davis, women's sports
information director.
Each division will establish bylaws and
policies. Representatives from UNL and
UNO will meet Oct. 9 to set practice times,
season lengths, types of state tournaments
and their sites, Davis said.

It will be synch'. or swim for students
trying out Thursday night for Aquaquettes,
the UNL synchronized swimming club.
Tryotfts will be judged by former club
members, physical education teachers and
possibly the coach of a Lincoln-based
Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) Swim
team, said Steph Schrein, club president.
"We don't know how many will be
selected " Schrein said. "It will depend on
their ability and scores from the judges."
Club membership usually numbers
between 20 and 25, she said. ,
Four stunts
Each person trying out will be required
to do four basic and two optional stunts,
as well as swim in groups, said Paula
Prichard, club secretary.
Aquaquettes sponsored workshops in
synchronized swimming Sept. 9, IT and 13
for prospective members. Club members
taught basic skills and demonstrated group
synchronized swimming, Schrein said.
Each spring, the club presents a water
show which has a theme chosen by club'
members. .' -. v
A solo, duet and trio are selected in
tryouts in January, Prichard said. Show
members are selected from among the high
est scorers at tryouts.
Other members do group routines in
the show which will be held March 1 1 to
13, she said.
Schrein said she lias been on synchron
ized swim teams since she was in junior
high school. She learned the sport during
summer programs taught by Creighton
University students in Omaha, she said.
' Schrein competed her first two years in
high school with the Creighton University ,
Naiads, the school s - syncnronizea
swimming club. While she was a Naiad
" member, she taught the sport at Omaha's
Elmwood pool in the summer. ,- .
"It takes about 14 hours of practics a
week to keep up on synchronized
swimming, so when I was a senior in high
school I didn't have time to do much of
it," Schrein said. - ' '
"Schrein,'' a sophomore English major,
said she joined Aquaquettes last year
"because I wanted to get active in some
thing and had always been interested in
it." .
Prichard, a senior physical education
major, said she joined the club last year
after taking a class in synchronized
swimming. Many members never participat
ed in synchronized swimming before they
came to UNL, she said.
A synchronized swimming club from
South Dakota State may visit UNL for a
workshop and performance later this year,
but details have not been worked out,
Prichard said. -
Because there will be two teams in their
division, UNL and UNO both will attend
the regional tournaments, Davis said.
"Our practices can begin sooner and sea
sons can run longer," she said. "Before, ath
letes didn't have enough time to condition
and coaches couldn't work with players
until a few weeks before the season," she
said. '
'This will change most of our sched
ules," Davis said, adding that teams will
play more high-level competition this year.
For instance, she said, UNL will compete
against 30 teams in the Jayhawk Invitation
al Volleyball Tournament Nov. 8 at Kansas
University, rather than compete in the
Nebraska State Tournament at Wayne
State that weekend.

Osborne ldarn glad to win;' praises
By Scott Jones
Tom Osborne made one. thing perfectly
clear Monday in his Extra Point Club lunch
eon address.
"When you're going Into a ballgame
without six or seven players and you're
playing a team with a winning tradition,
you're just darn glad to win the game,"
said Nebraska's head football coach.
" " "I don't see where we had an edge With
some of the things that happened to us,"'
he said. "We knew we were going to have a
heck of a job moving the football."
Naturally disappointed
"N'aturahy, we're disappointed offensive
ly when we don't score more than 10
points," he said. "But when the line is in
experienced and key players are missing,
you're not going to look like a well-oiled
machine, especially against good people."
Like many Husker fans, he said he
wasn't satisfied with the offense in Nebras
ka's 10-7 victory over Louisiana State Uni
versity (LSU) Saturday.
LSU played a 5-2 defense similar to
Nebraska's instead of the expected 4-3
alignment. This not only made running
the ball more difficult, Osborne said, but
put more pressure on the passing game.
"I wasn't real.pleased with our passing
game because the way they defensed us we
probably had to pass to move the ball,"
he said. Quarterback Terry Luck com-1
pleted 8 of 21 passes.
Controlled ball
On the plus side, the offense con
trolled the ball well, Osborne said, and
never gave the defense bad field position.
. Helping provide field position were Ne
braska s punt coverage and receiving teams.
The kicking game was probably the
key to our winning the ball game,"
Osborne said.
Punter Randy Lessman, placekicker
Mike Coylc and especially punt returner
Bobby Thomas were praised by Osborne.
Excellent returns
"Bobby Thomas did an excellent job of
returning punts," he said. "He really ex
ceeded my expectations."
Osborne also was pleased with Nebras
ka's defense, saying they "playeti as well or
better than we expected." -
More specific was defensive coordinator
Monte Kiffin, who gave the audience a

rousing comical display of his sideline
peptalk manner.
In praising the play of defensive tackle
Mike Fultz, Kiffin said, "This kid is going
to be an ail-American.
"I'd take him before any of those
Sclmons," he added. "I don't think they
would even start for Nebraska." '
