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. "

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.
Qualifying times
The new qualifying times, consideration
times, and the time change for each event
from 1974-75 are:

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.
