Pinball, you see is Fats forte. He loves it, lives it, and loses quarters on it every night except Sundays On Sundays, he recuperates and writes home to his parents to tell them where his savings are going. So far, Fats writes, he has been robbed four times, has lent $60 to a friend and has been having "a lot of dates." Fats mother Wants him to get married, so that's okay. In truth, the last encounter Fats had with a female was when he was a senior in high school in 1975. It was a blind date with a pimple-faced redhead. 4820 RENTWORTH I (1 Block South of 1 48th&Hwy.2 Lincoln, Nebr. I I 423-1241 1 Special student rates for dorms, greeks, teams.

Fats eot his face dented with a 7 ounce beer glass for making an improper pass at het in the bar. Actually, Fats was just reaching for some peanuts, he says. . Dejected-and relieved-Fats roamed over to pinball haven, lost four quarters and quit. He climaxed the night with four greasy cheeseburgers and two bottles of cheap beer. So much for fleeting love. Once, Fats wrote home that he gave $150 to a charity and, in effect, Fats wasn't really lying. He is a prime can didate for charity. Being, at a minimum, 50 tounds overwieght, Fats boasts admirably of his ever-increasing gut. "Yep, been working on it since eighth grade," Fats says as he grabs a couple rolls of blubber and strokes them like a magic lamp. . "But I almost lost them one time," he continues. "It was at summer camp. I still sweat when I think about how close it was. (Fats has a lot of person to sweat). They tried to make me go horseback riding." Fats, it seems, developed intense stomach pain when he heard about the trip and the worried camp leader insisted that Fats would have to miss all the fun and not go riding. Fats started to feel better. When, the camp leader re turned with a gallon of chocolate ice cream to relieve the pain, Fats was on his way to a miraculous recovery. Sixty-eight minutes and one gallon of ice cream later, Fats was cured. Instead of riding horses that summer, Fats rode a bed 'mattress most of the days, getting iip only to take miracle medicine-food. Yet, Fats is quite an athlete behind the flipper machine, His stubby fingers man the control buttons on each side, He hoists his belly onto the glass top, relieving the pressure from his belt buckle which has rarely been seen. With a grunt and a foot shuffle, Fats is ready for action. Silver is punched into the lit-up robber and for the next three or four hours, Fats is in flipper heaven.. "I remember the time a couple of months ago when I racked up 85,234 points on the first ball " Fats seriously recalled. "I was hotter-an-hell. They couldn't stop me. "But the next ball bounced off the 300-point wall and went straight down the middle. An impossible ball to hit." (Fats is getting excited now. The sweat is rolling down his spongy cheeks). ' "After that, I knew what I had to do," Fats said terse ly, "I needed about 14,000 for a free game. The last ball went through the bonus. Only 900 more to go, I said to myself. It then came shooting toward my right' wing and I knocked it through the 200-point tunnel, but it headed for the side alley." Fats saved the ball from going out with the help of his best friend -his gut. He shifted all his weight, or at least some of the heavier layers, to his left foot, causing the ball to careen back into play. Fats had won a free game. "I tell Va ," says Fats. "That's what life's all about. Playing under pressure." shorts The indoor tennis courts in the UNL Sports Complex will open Saturday, Jan. 21 , from 1 to 5 p jn. and Sunday, Jan. 22 from 10 a.m. to, 10 p.m. Student cost is $2 an ho.ir per court and faculty cost is $4 an hour per court.
