"We like to think we can beat them
every time," Blocker said. "They're a little
more experienced and maybe a little
deeper, but I don't think depth will be all
that important. Our U-arounders are
stronger and that's what's important."'
Blocker said with the addition of
freshman Jody Raymond to UNL's all
around performers, the Huskers have
become a deeper team.
"Our all-arounders are a lot better at
this point in the year," Blocker said.
Mark Williams, another freshman, hit
51.8 points at Colorado last week and
Larry Gerard has become much more con
sistent, he said. "Williams is going for 52
points against ISU."
Blocker said that any time an all
arounder hits 50 points he has performed
well.
This will be the second meeting of the
two teams this season. ISU nipped the
Huskers in Lincoln on Oct. 23, 210.90
210.15. Blocker said the Huskers are more
experienced now than at that time.
"We've been counting on freshmen all
year," Elocker said. "When you have four
of them in your line-up you have to.
"We're more experienced through small
improvements," he said. "Fine tuning if
you will."
. Performances in the" pommel horse
and parallel bar events will be crucial to
the Huskers effort in Ames, Elocker said.
"We are going to have to hit on the
pommel horse this time," he said. "We did
score 34 points against Colorado on the
horse which helped our confidence some."
ISU will perform without their top a!!
arounder at the meet. Tiger Taylor of the
Cyclones suffered pulled muscles last week
and will not compete as an all-arounder.
Scotty Evans will be their top all
arounder, said Blocker; Both he and Bill
Boslet score - consistently in the 50s.
Blocker also mentioned defending Big 8
Conference champion in the vault, Mark
Trippel, and defending national champion
in the still rings, Doug Wood, as 4SU's
big threats.
The meet begins at 2 p.m. and will be
broadcast on the NETV network.
UNL's women's gymnastics and swim
teams also will make the trip to Ames for
competition Saturday afternoon.
