The Husker wrestling team will be in action twice this weekend when they wrestle the University of Colorado,
Friday , and the University of Wyoming, Saturday.
Wrestling foes have UNL traits
By Kevin Schnepf
When the UNL wrestling squad meets the University
of Colorado Friday and the University of Wyoming Sat
urday at the UNL Sports Complex, there will be some
similarities among the teams. '
The Huskers host CU at 7:30 pjn Friday.
"They're a relatively young club like ours," said
UNL coach Orval Borgialli. "They recruited seven high
school All Americans two years ago and 3 high school
All Americans last year." 5
Whea the Wyoming Cowboys come to Lincoln Satur-.
day for a 1:30 pjn. meet, its squad will be missing some
wrestlers because of academic ineligibility.
"They've had problems with grades like our squad did
and they also had problems with injuries," Borgialli said.
'They're going to have to forfeit the 1 18-pound match."
Two weeks ago, nine Husker wrestlers were declared
scholastically ineligible. Borgialli said it was a devasta
ting blow to the team ........ .
Out of the nine wrestlers declared ineligible, he said,
three were starters.
"We haven't turned over and played dead," he said.
."We haven't wrestled to .our potentU but these boys
have come to fight."
Double djsJ leases
Borgialli said that in last week's double dual with
Southern Illinois University and the University of Minne
sota, UNL had only 12 wrestlers for 10 events.
The Huskers lost to Southern Illinois, 25-18, and to
nationally ranked Minnesota,' 43-3. The losses dropped
the Husker 's dual record to 5-5.
Borgialli,. said the-. Huskers performed-well against
Southern Illinois but were the opposite against Minnesota.
Against Southern Illinois, Husker sophomore Jim Cal
vert pinned returning All American Mark Hattendorf in
seven minutes. v
"I didn't even know he was an All American," Calvert
said. "The coach kind of made a joke of it but I didn't
realize it until later."
Borgialli said Calvert was moved from the 167-pound
class to the 177-pound class last week. "
"Jim showed some spunk in. his match", Borgialli
said. "His attitude is so important for our team."
Recoveries needed
Borgialli said the Huskers have a possibility of winning
both meets this weekend if some of the wrestlers recover
from injuries.
"Cliff Myles will hopefully heal from his strained
knee and Mike Brainich had the flu last week," he said.
"If we can get them all healed up and perform to our
potential, we could definitely win both meets."
Borgialli said Wyoming has two good wrestlers in Dan
Godbehre and senior captain Paul Reed.
Godbehre, a junior in the 158-pound class, has a
24-0 record and Reed has a 19-2-0 record in 167-pound
class.; v '',
"It's still questionable who well use against Godbe
hre," Borgialli said. "We may move Doug Redding down
from the 1 90 class or we may use Steve Hill."
Borgialli said Reed won the Colorado Open champion
ship and placed second to a defending national champion
from Oklahoma State University in the Air Force Invi
tational. "

- UNL's men's swim team dives into a busy weekend
schedule tomorrow with a dual meet against Chicago State
University (CSU) at the UNLSports Complex pool. Start
ing time is slated for 2:00 p.nf.
Saturday John Reta's team ventures to Lawrence,
Kansas to battle Big 8 Conference power University of
Kansas (KU).
"Chicago State is very strong in the sprints and diving,"
; Itsta said. Thy're not quite as strong in the distances,
but our relay times compare favorably."
Reta is cautious, however, about comparing teams on
: paper.- - .
"On paper we should have won cur meet last week (a
loss to Northern Iowa)," Reta said. "But you have to
consider the circumstances - .
' Pleased with performance
Despite a 1-3 dual record Reta said he is pleased with
Us team's performance so far this season.
"I've beta p'esssd with cur tines," Reta" said. "Our
freshmen have had good times, and not only the fresh
men. The guys that were on the team last year have better
times this year too. ' ......
"(Pat) DiEiase is only two seconds off the national
qualifying time in the 200 meter breast stroke. He has the
same time now that he finished with in the Big 8 meet
DiSiase, a senior, is looking forward to the weekend's
competition. ;
"Chicago State is a good team, but I think we're a little
stronger," he said. "I'm looking forward to the Kansas
meet. I always do well down there."
' Extra incentive ..
DIBiase has a little extra incentive to do well in the
Kansas meet. As a freshman he rvan for KU.
"I'll hi psyched up a little more for the Kansas meet,
he said. "Of any team we (the team) want to beat, we
want to beat Kansas the most. It's a good rivalry."
The rivalry has been a little lopsided the past few yean.
The Jayhawks had won eight straight Efg 8 riTjrir.g
cham?ian:h:;:s before being dethroned by Iowa State,
University last year. DiSiase feels the tide could chan"e'
- this season. 0
"We have a lot more talent this year," he said. "We
have a chance to beat Kansas this year. They've cone
, downhia a bit." , b .
Freshman talent
Some of the talent mentioned by both Reta and
DiBiase that, according to DiBiase, should move the
Huskers up fa the Big 8 standings this year are freshen
Robbie Ingle (200 and 500 freestyle). Bob Hartford
(backstroke), and walk-on Mark Shapland (breast stroke).
Ingle will attempt to break his school record in the 500
freestyle for he fifth time this season. He has broken the
standard in every dual meet this season. The current
recur u is .. l .
Another new face for the Huskers is junior Rick
i.Iaack (backstroke and freestvlftV MrV va .
t-us semester after transferring from Auburn Univemy
"Maack had a real good time last week for swirarSn
in a bad pool, Reta said. "We're young and Liexperisnc
ed but I've been pleased with our progress."
