Husker wrestler Rick Whitehead expresses the look it takes to get out of Colorado
State wrestler Steve Rygen's hold. Whitehead won the 126-pound match by decision.

Being small hasn't kept Rick Whitehead
from being a top Husker athlete.
Whitehead, a sophomore 126-pound
class wrestler with a 10-2 record this year,
said he didn't have many options in choos
ing his forte.
"I got into wrestling because I was too
small for other sports," Whitehead said.
A little family push didn't hurt either.
"All my brothers wrestled, so I never
thought about doing anythingelse," the
Griswold, Io.wa native said.
Last year Whitehead finished fourth in
the Big Eight, but said he is optimistic for a
higher finish this year in the 134-pound
class. ..
"I feel better when I weigh more,
because I'm eating more and I'm stronger."
A few more pounds brings a bit more con
fidence, too, he added.
126 pounds
Last week against Colorado State,
Northwest Missouri State and Northern
Illinois, Whitehead wrestled at 126 pounds
because the team was low in that weight
class. He will challenge for the 134-pound
, varsity spot this week.
Whitehead 'said Head Coach Bob Fehrs
was one reason he came to UNL
"My high school coaches said he (Fehrs)
was good, and when I came down here, I
was impressed with both him and the facil
ities," Whitehead said.
In addition to team workouts, White
head works out on his own, running and
lifting weights to keep in shape for each
meet.
Key attitude
However, Whitehead said he believes
mental as well as physical preparation are
important in wrestling. Personally, he said,
mental attitude is a key in his wrestling
performance.
"I go as hard as I can for the whole
match," said Whitehead. The confidence
you have in yourself is also very important.
When you're afraid of losing, that's when
you wUI lose," he added.
Whitehead said he has high hopes for
the Cornhusker wrestlers.
"We've turned things around this year,
and next year will be even better. It takes
good individual performance to build good
team wrestling," he said. Whitehead added
that a person has to win for himself as well
as for the team, and with this attitude, it is
possible to maintain a winning team.

' Sharing the other forward spot opposite Guy are 6-8
junior Johnny Crawford and 6-7 sophomore David Mag- 1
ley. Crawford is averaging 6.7 points a game coming off
the bench while Magley, a starter, is scoring 5.1 points a
game. . ;..
At center, 6-9 senior Chester Giles is the starter with a
5.8 scoring average, but 6-JO junior Art llousey may see a
lot of playing time, llousey, a junior college transfer,
came off the bench to score 10 points and eight rebounds
in the second half in the Missouri win. -
Physical game
Iba said he expects it to be a physical game. y' -i -v
"They're (Kansas) going to go to the boards very,
very hard," Iba said, "We're going to have to get good
position. under-the-boards and make sure everyone takes
care of their responsibility," he said.
KU has not beaten the' buskers at Lincoln since the ;
1974-75 season when they beat Nebraska 79-77 in double
overtime in the old Coliseum.
"Nebraska isn't any hardei to play at than any other
place in the Big Eight," Owens said. "It's just that
Nebraska has played well against us.
"Year in and year out, J think Joe (Cipriano) and his '
staff has the best coached team 'n the conference, and this
year is no different."
Owens also had praise for tyisker center Andre Smith.
"1 think he's an excellent player, one of the best big
men in the conference," Owens said. "He hurt us real bad
in Lincoln last year and is someone we need to slow
down."
Iba said the Huskers will go with the same line-up he
went with against Missouri, but added that 6-2 freshman
Greg Downing "will play a Jot" at forward. Starting for
ward, Tim West still is out with a severely sprained ankle
and might not be back for, another two or three weeks.
Tonight's game is set to begin at 8:10 instead of the
usual 7:35 starting time. The game also will be televised
regionally by cable station KBMA. The Husker jayvees
will face the Kearney State jayvees at 5 :45 p.m.
