most people. UNL golf coach Larry Komjue is an
exception.
When discussing the progress of his golf squad this
spring, Romjue uses the analogy of a football team early
in the season. '
"Like football, you may fumble and make mistakes
early, but as the season progresses, the mistakes are out,1
he said.
While Romjue docs not have to worry about his golfers
fumbling, he said he hopes they continue to show
improvement when they play in the Drake Relays Invita
tional today and Friday in Des Moines.
The field for the Drake tournament includes defend
ing champion Tulsa, Southern Illinois, Bradley, Drake and
Iowa State Universities; the Universities of Iowa, Kansas,
and Missouri, along with numerous smaller colleges,

we're a pretty young team.

Moyer, the squad's only two-year letterman, said his
biggest problem this spring has been starting each
tournament with a poor round.
First round prctlems
"When you get to be a junior, you're expected not to
have a bad round, he said. "Golf is pretty much a mental
game. I think I've got the physical attributes to beat
anybody, but right now it's my head and that first round
that's stopping me.
Moyer said the format of the Drake tournament
ch: First-year
a prime contender
UNL's women's golf team, in its first year, will
compete in the first annual Big 8 Conference golf
championship Friday and Saturday in Columbia, Mo.
Larry Romjue, who doubles as men's and women's
golf coach, said he expects women's golf to parallel the
path men's collegiate golf has followed.
ItH probably follow the pattern of boy's golf," he
said. "Eventually youll see the southern schools dominate.
Because of the weather, they're able to play longer. I
assume they'll continue to develop."
Don't count UNL out, however, Romjue said.
I think we can be competitive for quite a while yet,'
he said.
, UNL a top contender
Romjue said UNL, Iowa State University and the
University of Kansas should be the main contenders for
the conference championship.
I think we've got an excellent chance to win it if the
girls play up to their potential," he said. "I'd be dis
appointed if we got worse than third."
Romjue said he will travel with the women to
Columbia, rather than go with the men to the Drake
Relays Invitational today and Friday in Des Moines.
"I enjoy coaching the women. They're so unpredict
able," he said. "I don't think the girls get quite as upset
about a bad round as the men, but they play just as
hard."
Finished second
In the team's only matches, UNL defeated Creighton
University in a dual and finished second in the eight
team University of Illinois Invitational last weekend.
Deb Benish, Norfolk senior, has posted the low
Husker score in each match, including a first-place finish
at Illinois.

In Wednesday's story on the football offensive line,
a part dealing with the tackles was dropped inadvertent
ly. Offensive line coach Cletus Fischer said returning
senior starters Steve Hoins, Bellevue, and Bob
Lingenfelter, Plainveiw, both have been playing well.
Other challengers for the starting tackle positions are
sophomores Tom Ohrt, Millard; Steve Glenn, Pawnee
City; Kelvin Clark, Odessa, Tex., and returning junior let
terman Bob Hayes, Bakersfield, Calif.
The Husker men's tennis team, 11-8 before entering a
match against Wichita State University Wednesday, travels
playing five golfers and counting the four best scores
(instead of playing six and counting five) and playing
36 holes (instead of the normal 18 in one day)-w21 help
the team prepare for the Big 8 Conference championships.
Iowa State will host the Big 8 meet May 14 and 15 in
Ames. The Huskers will play in a small invitational tourna
ment May 1 on Iowa State's course to help prepare for
the Big 8 meet, Romjue said.
"Iowa State's course is tight. There's a lot of holes
where you lay up (play short of the green)," he said.
"The more you play a course, the more you learn about
it."

"She had a real poor faE(season), so I didn't know
what to expect of her," Romjue said of Benish. "She's
been a real help to us and if we can get the other girls
to improve as much as her, we'll have a good chance of
winning it."
Other Husker golfers and their Illinois scores are
sophomore Jane Deeter, of Lincoln, 182; freshman
Omahans Sharon Slattery, 184; sophomore Nan Circo,
