As a freshman last year, quarterback Everett made the varsity squad. Therefore he had less occasion to notice the message urging freshmen to have courage, work hard and be patient. Everett needed less than an average amount of patience as a freshman on the varsity. He may need more than his share this year. After missing most of spring practice with ankle, hamstring and back injuries, Nebraska plans to ask the conference for a hardship case ruling, giving Everett another year of eligibility. It will be filed after the season ends. Hardship appeal Head Coach Tom Osborne said a ruling on the hardship appeal won't be made until December or the beginning of the year. "We might not get one, but we feel we had sufficient medical evidence to plead a hardship case," he said. The Big 8 Eligibility Committee will make the decision with the approval of faculty representatives. Everett will share scout team quarter back duties with redshirt Tom Sorley and won't suit up or play in any remaining Husker games this year. "Nothing personal" "It's something that's hard to accept after suiting up for two years but I'm get ting used to it," Everett said. "It's nothing personal. "I think it's to the benefit of myself and Photo courtesy UNL Earl Everett may see action as a defensive back.

Everett played part of the fourth quarter in the game against Indiana, but hardship status can be granted if a player is prevented by injury from playing in more than two games. "I guess it really came into focus before the Indiana game," Everett said. "He just said because of my position at quarterback now that it wouldn't change that much and because I hadn't been redshirted I could sit out a year." Everett was sharing third team duty with Randy Garcia before the Indiana game. Everett switched to wingback during spring practice but couldn't prove himself because of injuries. When he returned to Suarterback he started at the bottom of le depth charts, "After my switch from wingback to quarterback he had to start me out that low," he said. If not for the trial at wing back, however, Everett said he might have started fall practice higher on the charts and with a better chance to play. "I thought I was having the best fall I've had," he said. "But all the quarterbacks were about the same-nobody made any mistakes, but nobody stood out either. As a result, Everett didn't advance. Everett said he may change positions as competition at quarterback will be stiff next year with Garcia, Sorley and Vince Ferragamo returning. Osborne said Wednesday that they are thinking about changing Everett to a defensive back. Everett now must be content with scout team duty. "It's not all that bad especially if you feel you're, helping the Blackshirts and Goldshirts learn the opponent's plays," he Unusual intramural names reflect team characteristics By Chuck Beck Members of independent intramural football teams have freedom in selecting names which reveal information about their habits, interests or characteristics. One football team, Moe Effort II, was named for a horse the players used to bet on, according to Dave Roseland, team coach. . The members of another team, Space Kadets, adopted their name from the "Jetsons" television cartoon show, coach Jerry Hannan said Space Kadets, a futuris tic youth organization similar to boy scouts, has no other meaning for the team, he said. The "Civil Wars" is a team composed of civil engineering students, coach Doug Cahmssaid. Other team names represent people whose friendships culminated on the foot ball field. The Triple-A Lettermen has both UNL students and non-students who have been acquainted since junior high school, said coach Dave Hyslop. When team members were young, they played touch football on an Omaha Triple A Motor Club parking lot, he said. 'There were the guys who played on the parking lot all the time and some who didn't regularly play with us," Hyslop said. The lettermen were the guys who played on varsity teams in junior high, but they didn't actually get a letter. "We just call ourselves lettermen be cause we have kind of a select group of guys," he explained. Another team name, the Hot Rocks, represents a nickname the team's members have for each other, said team representa tive Mitch Brehm. The name has real mean ing only to team members, he added. Other team names describe characteris tics of the members, team representatives said. The Ant Hill Gang, for example, is named for a characteristic of each player their short height, coach Steve Loftis reported. He said most of the players stand 5 ft. 8 in. or 5 ft. 9 in. tall. Another team coach, Lynne Fischer, said he could not think of a good name to set his team apart from others, so he chose the Good Guys. If most team names represented down to earch concepts, one team name seemed to be otherworldly in nature. The Kosmos (sic) is a term for the uni verse considered as "harmonious and orderly," according to coach Lee Lukehart, but he said the "weird" name also should set his team apart from others. "Hopefully the meaning of cosmos will rub off on the team and the way it plays," he added. Native Nehraskans capture women 's scholarships UNL Women's Athletic Director Aleen iwi urn scholarship athletes. All 56 women are native Nebraskans. Tuition and fees scholarships were awarded to women for the first time last year. Scholarships are automatically re newed to athletes who remain eligible end successfully compete in their sport, ac . cording to rules or the Association of Inter collegiate Athletics for Women (AIAW). Track and field coach Roger Capan said he considers academic record and high school performance when awarding scholarships. "Education is the first and foremost thing for the athlete and track is an avenue for extra experiences," he said. Some women have tried out for national and international competition which shows desire, Capan said. He also discusses the girl and her attitude toward track with parents, principals and counselors. Track scholarships were awarded to junior Mary Stefanowicz, sophomores Judy Dost&l, Dee Edeal and Doris Hitz and fresh men Psm Koontz, Peggy Liddick, Kim Sims and Pam Baker.

Seniors Betsy Anderson, Sue Hansen and Julie Gets, junior Jean Vrbka, and sophomore Jan Bartels, Deb Van Fleet, and Paula Prichard have toftball scholarships. High School Scouts Several coaches said they attend high school events, especially tournaments, to scout players and talk with coaches. "Awarding scholarships will be easier next year," said Pat Sullivan, volleyball, swimming and. diving coach. "We're going to ask for film clips of the girls In action especially for those outstate. "For swimming, it depends on a con sistent performance and fast times. In diving I go a lot on what coaches and people In diving tell me about the girl," Sulilvan explained. Volleyball scholarship athletes include seniors Linda Brown and Laury Harmon, junior Janice Kruger, sophomores Susie lleiser and Paula Walberg, and freshman Sue Luedtke. Swimming and diving scholarships were given to senior Ruth Spencer, junior Debbie Peterson, sophomores Mikki Crosby, Diana DeLue and Nancy Dykes, and freshmen Ellen Hollander and Lisa MaGee.

Scholarship recipients in golf are senior Debbie Benish and frthmen Jane Deeter and Sharon Slattery. Tennis scholarships were awarded to girls who played on the team last year, according to Tennis Coach Gail Whitaker. In determining scholarship recipients, she said she looks at playing experience at UNL and in state and regional tournaments. Tennis scholarships were given, to seniors Helen Glover and Barbara Scriber, junior Kathy Hawkina and sophomores Vickie Maseman and Joyce McVicker. Field hockey scholarships were all awarded to previous UNL team members. Coach Elizabeth Petrakis said. Only one high school in Nebraska has competitive field hockey so there is little chance to see girls play in high school, she said. Scholarship field hockey players include seniors Mary Amstnsp, Mary Claire Franssen and Beth Pillen, juniors Debbie Collins, Becky Hiilman and Marcia Mohl, and sophomore Peg Conrad t. Basketball scholarships last year were awarded on high school and college experi-' ence, according to former basketball coach Jan Callahan. 4i looked at the level of competition in the giri'i high school league and her indi vidual performance," Callahan said. George Nicodemus, former John F. Kennedy College basketball coach, was appointed head basketball coach this year.

Gymnasts Placlngs in state tournaments, especially In the all-around category, determined award offers to freshmen gymnasts, Coach Karen Balke said. "If a girl placed in the top 1 0 at the Ne braska State Tourney, I invited her here," Balke said. "I also looked at the girl's record at other colleges." Gymnastics scholarship athletes are juniors Carol Lundccn and Carta Gerblg, sophomores Sandy Czaplewski, Pes-gy New port and Kathy Ruddick and freshmen Barbara Baker and Laura Hartung. A total of 60 scholarships are available for women, according to Swofford, but some coaches are keeping reserve scholar ships for walk-ons. Women on scholarship for one sport may also compete in oi2.r sports, Swofford said.
