Spring workouts needed
for smoother fall practices
By Rick Huls
While UNL is in its third week of spring
football practices, the players of last year's
losingest Big Eight team have hung up their
pads for the spring.
The problems at Kansas State Univer
sity began last year. Unable to win a Big
Eight game last year, Kansas State saw its
coach, Ellis Rainsberger, resign after
players were deliberately misidentified in a
junior varisty game to preserve their red
shirt status.
When new coach Jim Dickey arrived at
Manhattan, he discovered that Rainsberger
handed out 43 scholarships, 13 more than
the NCAA limit of 30. Now Dickey can
only recruit 17 players this spring because
of the violation.
Adding to those problems, Kansas State
ended its spring practice two weeks ago
after practicing only three days. A Kansas
State physical education instructor spotted
Dickey holding an organized practice in
February-a violation of Big Eight rules.
So, Dickey canceled spring practice to or
ganize the program.
Sports Illustrated described Kansas
State's situation in the April 10th issue.
"Schools that violate conference or NCAA
rules are usually prohibited from going to
bowls or appearing on TV, but Kansas
State is no candidate for either. And the
Big Eight is not eager to make K-State any
less competitive than it already is. Indeed,
K-State is an embarrassment to the con
ference, both on the field and in the public
eye."
With spring practices going full speed at
UNL, coach Tom Osborne and players feel
fortunate to be able to hold spring work
outs which they say make fall practices go
smoother.
"I would hate to go without spring
practice," Osborne said, referring to
Kansas State's cancellation of spring prac
tices. "We have a lot of players to look at
and we can't look at all of them in the
fall."
Osborne said spring football gives the
coaches more time to spend with the
players and to evaluate them.
"We also have a good walk-on program
and without spring ball, our walk-ons
wouldn't have as good a chance to show
what they can do," Osborne said.
Senior quarterback Tom Sorley said
spring practice is a necessity because it is
the time to experiment with different
things.
"I don't know how any team could do
without it," Sorley said. "Kansas State is
definitely going to have their work cut out
for them."
Kerry Weinmaster, defensive starter at
noseguard, said Kansas State especially
needed a spring practice this year because
of last year's season. Weinmaster said
Kansas State will be a little behind every
body next fall.
"Spring practice is for establishing your
players," Weinmaster said. "The fall camp
should be for polishing up."
According to Weinmaster and Sorley,
UNL's offense and defense still have a long
way to go.
"We've got to shut down the traps up
the middle," Weinmaster said of the de
fense. "We're giving up too many yards up
the middle."
Although the second offense scored
quickly on the first team defense Satur
day, Weinmaster said the defense improved
through the rest of .the scrimmage.
Offensive inconsistency is bothering
Sorley, although he said the amount of
fumbles is decreasing.
"We have too many breakdowns. One or
two good plays and then we make a mis
take," Sorley said. "I don't want to make
excuses but the wet turf did hurt our backs
in scrimmage."
Sorley said that running backs like
Richard Berns and I.M. Hipp depend on
quick cuts to gain speed.
"When our backs are slipping all over,
we don't gain anything," he added.
Sorley said the offense was adapting to
the veer and making less mistakes in the
new formation.
The list of injuries is smaller this week,
Osborne said, but a few still injured are:
Randy Poeschl, knee; I.M. Hipp, foot;
Jeff Finn, foot; John Seiko, knee; Tim
Fischer, broken thumb; Jim Pillen, shoul
der; L.G. Searcey, knee; and Weinmaster,
ankle.
Senator profiles available
By Kris Hansen
Biographical reports on most Nebras
ka state senators including their voting
records and political sentiments, will be
available in the NUPIRG office in sever
al weeks.
"We'll probably have 1 5 to 20 people
in our own division using it (the file).
We strongly hope the rest of the student
body and organizations, like GLC
(ASUN Government Liaison Commit
tee), will use it," said NUPIRG's Legisla
tive Director Jim Jenkins, a sophomore
from Oconto, Neb.
"Other people, like those running for
office, have also expressed interest in us
ing our information," he said.
The reports are now being compiled
by NUPIRG staff members and will in
clude senators' voting records, sentorial
motivations and achievements. Accessi
bility will be a major concern, Jenkins
said.
Secretaries, journalists and others in
contact with each senator also will be
interviewed for the two -page report.
"Since different people gather the
information from various sources, the
individual reports will vary some," Jen
kins noted.
Only 35 to 40 of the state's 49 sena
tors will be covered.
"Several of the senators are retiring
or running for other offices. Many of
those we know for sure won't be back
woh't be included in the files," Jenkins
said. The file will be updated yearly, he
said, and will improve as research con
tinues. Jenkins estimated most reports
would be available in three to four
weeks. "We'll get most of them before
the legislative session is over (in three
weeks), but some may take until the
end of the year," he said.
