has not yet fcnited.

Shofner to L;;t the fuse conies Saturday afternoon at
Memorial Stadium when they fees UNL's Ccrrhuakers.
Te think we can throw on any team in the nation,"
said Jim Garner, TCU sports information director.
Gamer and UNL linebacker coach Myles spoke
Thursday at the Review-Preview breakfast in the Nebraska
Center for Continuing Education, co-sponsored by KLIN
radio and UNL's Extension Division at the center.
If we throw the football as much as they do, the game
would last to 8 p jnV Myles said. "They throw the ball
from anywhere on the field, in the end zone and coming
out of the locker room."
Led by Elzner
TCU is led by junior quarterback Jimmy Dan Elzner,
who has thrown for more than 450 yards this season.
Elzner is a drop-back passer, while his back-up, Steve
fiayuk, is a scrambler. Corrmusker coach Tom Osborne
said earlier this week he expects to see a lot of Bayuk.
That may be because Indiana University, using scrambl
ing quarterback Terry Jones for most of the game, threw
for 213 yards asainst UNLlast Saturday.
TClTs passing game ranks third in the nation, avenging
277 yards a game. Most of the yardage has been accumu
lated in passes to Canker Vernon TeHs and split end Mike
Renfro.
Wells has 1 1 receptions this year for 225 yards, includ
ing 10 catches for 204 yards last Saturday in a 31-0 loss to
Tennessee. Both efforts are school records.
Ail-American candidate Renfro has caught 10 passes
for 169 yards and a touchdown this season. He needs 20
receptions and 40 more yards to break the TCU career
marks in both categories.
Secondary ready "
Frosh football starts today
UNL's freshman football team opens its season
today at 1:30 p.m. in Memorial Stadium asssst
Kansas State University's junior varsity. UNL's
freshmen are riding an 11-game winning streak,
dating to the 1973 season. The game marks former
Husker Guy Ingles coaching debut.
UNL defensive back Ted Harvey said he thinks the
Husker secondary is ready for the challenge.
"Their quarterback will be the best thrower we have
faced this season. We've been concentrating on pur pass
rush."
A special pass defense is not planned by the Muckers
for TCU. Nebraska will continue to employ zone coverage
in the secondary.
"If you give too much attention to one guy usually
another one gets loose," Osborne said. "TCU has other
capable receivers besides Renfro."
Lowe coull be tough
Defensively, TCU features an Ail-American candidate
in sophomore safety Darryl Lowe.
Lowe saw his first varsity action ever for the Homed
Frogs last year against the Huskers.
On his first series of downs, Lowe intercepted a Vince

UNL's rodeo club and football team have similar
primary objectives.
"We're just like the football team," said junior Mike
Unterseher, president of the University of Nebraska
Rodeo Association (UNRA). "Putting a rodeo team down

Four scheduled meets this fall should provide competi
tion for the club.
This weekend rodeo members tackle competition at
the University of Wisconsin in Great Falls. The club then
travels to the University of South Dakota in Springfield
to compete the following weekend.
Team members also will journey to Iowa State Univer
sity in Ames Oct. 15 and 16, and to North Dakota State
University at Fargo on Nov. 30 and 31.
Team scores at college rodeos are determined by add
ing the individual top six men's and top three women':
scores. "
Te practice every night at the area wildlife build
ing on East Campus," Uhterseher said. "It's worth
peoples time to come and watch us since we've earned
national recognition. We've got quite a few individual
standouts and some excellent freshmen."
Last year, UNRAs rodeo, team qualified two members
for the National Rodeo Finals in Montana.
"The rodeo club has grown tremendously since my
past three to four years here, Unterseher said. It's
grown possibly ten-fold since it began some 15 years
aso.
About one-half of this year's 100-member .club is
female, he said.
Since the rodeo club is growing, it needs more money
for expenses, Unterseher said.
"We received $1,500 from the university's Fees AHoca
tin Board last year, and $600 the year before that. That's
a good indication of our growth."
More than $4300 was raised from the dub-sponsored
rodeo at the Nebraska State Fairgrounds last year.
Unterseher said the dub will sponsor another rodeo
this year, a beef raffle, a dance and other projects that are
"still on the drawing board."
