daily nebraskan friday, October 3, 1976 page 14 By Susie Reite A Miami (Fla.) football team, stronger than its 0-2 record indicates, squares off against a 3-0 Nebraska squad Saturday. Miami's strength was shown last Friday when the Hurricanes nearly defeated Oklahoma, the Associated Press's No. 1 ranked team. Miami lost 20-17 and also dropped the season opener 23-38 to Georgia Tech. "We were lucky to win," Oklahoma coach Barry Switzer said after the game. "Miami was outstanding." Miami held Oklahoma to 176 rushing yards, well under their 407 yards per game average. Defense aids win Oklahoma's two touchdowns came after a blocked punt on Miami's 11 and a fumble recovery on 'Miami's 27. The Sooners were held scoreless in the second half. Nebraska will be Miami's first opponent this season which does not run a wish-bone offense. Miami's defense is led by captain Steadrnan Scavella, one of three seniors, on defense. The defensive line includes lettermen Gary Dunn, Eddie Edwards, Dennis Breckner. and nose guard Don Latimer. The linebackers are all sophomores except junior Gregg Wallick, and the secondary is led by Ernie Jones at cornerback and Willie Jenkins at monster. Passing game ' On the offensive side, Miami is averaging 133 yards rushing and 210 yards passing per game. No. 1 quarterback Kary Baker is 17 of 36 passing for a total 292 yards. Back up Frank Glover is 8 of 12 for 1 16 yards. Baker played the entire Oklahoma game. Miami runs a basic Slot-I offense, like "Nebraska, according to Dick Beechner, Nebraska coach who scouted the Miami game. They also use a split back and pro set. Nebraska head coach Tom Osborne said he talked to Switzer Monday morning about the Miami game. "Switzer told me that they (Miami) hive a lot more speed than most people think," Osborne said. Miami's passing game is stepped up from 20 per cent last year to 38 per cent this ' year and has accounted for 60 per cent of the total yardage. " Coaches return Miami's head coach, Carl Selmer, was Qualifying times to limi NCAA swimming entries By Jim Hunt Higher qualifying standards will cut the number of participants in the National Col legiate Athletic Association (NCAA), Di vision I, swimming and diving champion ships next spring. The NCAA Swimming Committee also has limited participants to 40 for each event in the national competition. Before, no limits were placed on the number of participants-anyone who met the qualify ing times could compete. This year, a more demanding qualifying time has been set for entry in the national meet. A second qualifying time also will be used. If a swimmer betters this mark, he will be considered for the event, but allowed to participate only if the time is among the top 40. ' Performance proof This year coaches must send in proof of performance cards for those making quali fying times. These times must be verified by the meet referee. Previously, there was no rule for official verification. "It will make it a lot tougher to qualify,- UNL Swim Coach John Reta said. "It will make for a more streamlined meet "! tiUr tUm het will h mvimmino. "I hope his wiO help the swimmers' incentives. If a swimmer is goal-oriented, he is going to have to work hard to qualify." , He said it will be interesting to see how many people from the Big 8 qualify be cause few would have qualified last year under the new standards, he said.

Volleyball team attempting 'Parents Day' comeback After a disappointing loss Saturday to Midland, the UNL women's volleyball team will attempt a comeback with a win over UNO this Saturday at 10 a.m. in Women's P.E.Bldg. 133. Saturday has been designated Parents' Day, according to Volleyball Caoch Pat Sullivan. The UNL varsity now 1-1 lost to Midland 15-2, 10-15, 14-16. The UNL junior varsity downed Creighton University's varsity 15-2, 15-10 Tuesday and will play the UNL JV Saturday. "We've been working on picking up passes, smoother rotation and substitu tion," Sullivan said. A swollen knee has benched starting varsity fipiker Paula Walberg for Saturday, Sullivan said, so Nancy Wilkenson has been moved to the varsity. "i don't know how long Paula will be out," she said. "She is a strong center hitter and well probably shift when she isn't playing." UNO has most of its varsity squad returning and has not lost lot of strength from last year, she said. "We expect UNO to set up more plays and so a lot more hitting than Midland," Sullivan predicted. "Midland lust sort of popped the ball around and didn't set up any plays. "We re used to practicing against our selves and are used to a team that plays well, not junky," she said. UNL had two substitution errors and two position errors, each costing them the serve. "We beat ourselves," she said. "We lust got discouraged from the errors' and it hurt our play. I have no doubt that, without the errors, we wouldn't have lost." UNO has one left-handed spiker, Sullivan said, which is not familiar to the UNL team. "This Saturday should be our best match so far," she said. "UNO should play better than the other teams we've played. The game will be a bigger challenge. "we did outscore Midland pcintwise and aren't really discouraged about the loss. We're just glad it happened now. The errors are ones we probably won't make again," Sullivan said. ervous ? ro By Scott Jonca Nebraska freshman John Ingram says he Is ready for anything, , He wasi-f; so sure last week before the freshman football team opened their season and defeated Kansas State's junior varsity, 30-0.
