Coach in the Sky favors bom bshelb
If the Great football Coach in the Sky dropi any more
bombshells Ilka Oregon' 33-19 win over Colorado and
Tulane'i 3310 rout of Stanford last week, the Daily Ne
braskan prognosticatof may have to seek cover.
Yet even with those surprise! and a few more, we man
aged 70.8 prcnt (17-71) on last week's picks,
Ice borfitnectrt
And to launch headlong into this week's college games,
here is a little bombshell of our own:
Purdue at UCLA-Bruin Coach Terry Donohue is trying
to replace 23 graduated seniors from last year's 9-2-1
team. UCLA lost its opener to Houston and has been
picked to finish as low as sixth in the Pac-10. Meanwhile,
Purdue is this year's darling of the stodgy Big 10. But
they've got Notre Dame at home next weekend, a game
the Boilermakers have been talking about ever since last
year's 10-6 loss to the Irish. The moral to this story is:
Don't get caught looking ahead; In our "Upset Special of
the Week": UCLA 16, Purdue 14.
JV volleyball wins
Wednesday games
The Nebraska Junior varsity volleyball team cap
tured a pair of wins from Nebraska Wesleyan and
Omaha St. Mary's Wednesday night in triangular
at Nebraska Wesleyan.
JV coach Lonnle Pohlman said the defensive play
of Shandl Pettine and Deb Rupprecht at the net
were Important in the opening win, 15-3, 15-6 past
ing of St. Mary's.
Pohlman credited Bonnie Pohlmeier with accur
ate spiking and Theresa Makovicka with handling
the outside attack.
Joan Learch and Brenda Brinton were praised for
controlling the offensive tempo of the game by
mixing up their sets to the outside, middle and
backcourts.
Pohlman said the leadership from Rupprecht,
Pettine and Makovicka led the second win as UNL
edged Nebraska Wesleyan 15-13. 1513.
Utah St. at Nebraska-You might want to pack a lunch,
a sleeping bag and a change of underwear for this one, for
If the Aggies throw as much as they did last week, the
game could last until Sunday night. A good pass rush by
the llusker front Ave will turn this contest into a rout.
Something less than that however, may leave some Big
Red faithful squirming in their seats. Nebraska 31, Utah
St. 13.
Maryland at Clemson-Even Ripley's has trouble believ
ing this one: the nation's longest current winning streak in
Division I-A belongs to Clemson at 1 1 games. (Evidently
Woody Hayes' fourth quarter TKO in last year's Gator
Bowl doesn't count.) Look for the Tigers to continue the
streak in the day's top game in the South. Clemson 17,
Maryland 13.
Iowa at Oklahoma-It's "Wipeout Time." Barry
Switzer is burning because Hayden Fry wouldn't send him
the came films from Iowa's loss to Indiana last week.
Don't be surprised if a buftch of hot Sooners play their
usual early-season game of dropsy, fumbling eight times,
losing four of them-and rubbing Iowa's nose in It by 40
points or more. Oklahoma 51, Iowa 6.
Notre Dame at Michigan-There is no rationale for this
choice, Just pure hunch. Notre Dame 21, Michigan 17.
Oregon at Michigan St.-Okay, okay last week 1 said
playing Oregon was as good as having the Little Sisters of
the Poor on the schedule. Maybe they aren't the Little
Sisters, but they aren't big enough to beat Michigan St.
either. However, just in case they do, rumor has it that the
NCAA Is prepared to annouce that absolute parity has
been achieved in college football. Michigan St. 30, Oregon
14.

Joiteo starts as top golfer
UNL golfer Knox Jones longs for the
good old days.
As a freshman, Jones placed sixth in the
Big Eight conference meet, made the all
Big Eight team and helped UNL qualify for
the NCAA national meet.
Now a junior, Jones' goals for the next
two years sbund similar.
"Before 1 am done, I hope we can get
back to nationals and I can make the all
Big Eight team1 Jones said.
Based on summer playi Jones enters the
fall season UNL top golfer. Jones biggest
win this summer was the Nebraska State
Match -Play tournament. Jones also won
the Wayne and Oakland tournaments,
placed second in a Labor Day tournament
at Norfolk, third in the Governor Cup
and sixth in the Nebraska Medal-Play
tournaments v. ; ; ;
wi r played pretty well this summer
Jones said. wMy scores were pretty consis
tent, t never had any real low scores but
I didn't have very many high ones either.
Jones said he hasn't practiced well since
the Labor Day Norfolk tournament, but
golf coach Larry Romjue said he Isnt
worried.
"It (bad practices) doesnt Indicate how
well he (Jones) can play, Romjue said. lt
is just a matter of him teeing up against
competition in a meet which will make him
play harder. He Is our top player.
' ' - ' ' -
J0NI3 SAID his golf game has improv
ed since coming to UNL, but added that
there is still room for improvement.
"I want to be t little more consistent
this year and not have as many high
scores, Jones said.
Jones said there is i difference between
phying summer tournaments and playing
oaths team.
"If you shoot a 90,youre the only one
who ha to live with it, Jones said. "On
the team, though, if you shoot a 90, every,
one on the tesm has to live with it. That
puts more pressure on you to do better.
A 1977 Lincoln Southeast, graduate,
Jones was an All-City selection for three
years, and took second in the state high
school meet his senior year Jones also
was t starter on Southeast's football and
basketball team's his senior year. .
HE SAID he came to UNL because It
was the only .major college to offer him a
scholarship. Jones said he received offers
from Nebraska colleges to play both
basketball and golf, but said that golf was
the sport he wanted to concentrate on.
"If that same offer (basketball and golf)
had come from a smaller school in Okla
homa or Texas, t might have considered it
,$more because of the weather, Jones said.
Jones said he has no regret about com
ing to UNL
"The golf program is getting better and
the schedule is getting tougher," Jones
said. uIve improved my game here.
Jones said this years team will be press
ed to do as well as last year.
"We lost our top two players and that
will hurt a little, Jones said.
VniS TEAM suffered another loss this
week When it was learned junior Randy
Sock was declared ineligible for the fall
season.
Romjue said Soco ineligibility was
caused by insufficient hours, but he is
expected to be eligible in the springs J
Sock had the lowest score in the quali
fying round for the first meet.
Up until Sock's ineligibility, things - v
! were looking fairly encouraging, Romjue
said. "We have t very inexperienced team
: now going into the first meet Weneed c
v Some tournaments to get going and to find
out where we stand with our competition.
The team will open its fall season today ,
at Lawrence, Kan, when Nebraska will
play in a quadrangular against Wichita
State, Kansas and Missouri.
' Romjue said the team is playing in the
meet to give the players t chance to play
on the course where the Big Eight Confer
ence meet wffl be held next spring.
. On Sept. 18, 19, and 20, Romjue's
squad will be-competing in the 18-team,'
, : Oklahoma City All-College Invitational.
Romjue said the favored teams in the
meet are Oklahoma State, Houston, Ari
zona State, New Mexico and Oral Roberts,
which are all rated in the top ten national
ly. -If we finish in the top ten, 111 be
pleased, Romjue said. - -
