Transferring to UNL from the University of Texas
El Paso (UTEP) miit be the best thing that has happened
to runner Steve ACen.
I ran an 8:56 two-mile AEen said. That's compar
able to many people in the country, yet I wasn't getting
to run down at UTEP. It seemed I&e there was always
someone just a little better than I was."
In 1974, when AEen was a hfeh school senior, UTEP
was the NCAA cross country and indoor track champion
and finished second in the outdoor championship.
"When I went to UTEP I just locked at the running,
riot the academics," Allen said. "UNL has a much better
academics than UlfcrV
Allen said the atmosphere at UNL is better than at
UTEP. Most atheltes at UTEP were world class athletes
and were very touchy, he said.
"El Paso was the best situation I could have run into,"
AHen said. "It showed me what worlddass athletes are
like.
"On the other hand, it showed me" that high school
athletes need to have a little extra help when they come
out of high school. They didn't give me that help at
UTEP."
AEx said the coaches at UNL are more encourag
ing than at UTEP. Allen's times have improved and he
said he thinks he could go back to El Paso and run with
the best now.
AHen, who has nine pairs of running shoes, said there a
a shoe to fit every race. If a runner isn't comfortable in
a pair of shoes, he will blister easily, AHen said.
Men said he is disappointed that UNL doesn't put
more emphasis on cross country.
"But I'm glad UNL sets its priorities. You just can't
run cross country, indoor track and outdoor track well."
Most athletes only run well two of the three seasons,
he said.
ASen said he tries to peak for the outdoor track
season. The outdoor track season is longer and there a
more of a chance to travel, he said.
AEen and the rest of the Husker cross country team
will be in action Saturday at Pioneers Park when they run
against the Iowa State University ISU) Cyclones.
ISU, picked by the Big 8 Conference coaches to finish
second this year, enters the dud undefeated. The
Cyclones are 4-0 in dual competition and also have won
their own invitational meet.

Sisgel stresses team's organization
Husker basketball forward Bob Siegel said he has set no
personal goals this season.
'Team goals are more important." Siegel said. "We
have to organize as a team, win as a team and have fun as
a team. Right now we just have to get organized'
Siege, a 6 ft. 7 in., 215 lbs. senior from Fairbury,
has started the pastiwo seasons for the Huskers.
"I came into practice with the attitude of giving
the best I can," Siegel said. T hope I can just give it my
best shot and make everyone happy."
Husker head basketball coach Joe Cipriano said Siegel
has improved every year.
"Bob has tost some weight this year," Gpriano said.
U l l- r t i . t
nc wiu ua.Uk. in ueuei snape every year, ne Knows
what we expect of him now."
Last season, Siegel started a3 27 games as the Huskers
recorded a 19-8 record, third best in the school's history.
Siegel wsS the third leading Husker scorer, averaging 10.4
points a game, and the second leading rebound er, averag
ing 55 rebounds a game.
Siegers single game highs last year were 21 points
against the University of Missouri in the Huskers 95-84
loss to the Tigers in Columbia and 13 rebounds against
South Dakota, a 72-59 Husker victory in Lincoln.
"Siegel is a very strong, physical player," Gpriano
said. "He doesn't have as many offensive moves as some
players but is an excellent outside shooter."
Siegel said he has to improve on leadership, ball hand
ling, defense and scoring to become a more complete ball
player.
'Defense is always something a player can improve
on," he said.
As a team the Huskers haven't jelled yet , Siegel noted.
"We might start to jell in the next few days," he said.
- "Ve haven't been concentrating on fundamentals and
playing together as a team, and that's what it takes to be
successful."
