Team-looks forward to meet
Wrestling coach expects tough test with BYU
By Inta Rizijs
The UNL wrestling team will host Brigham Young
Thursday. Coach Bob Fehrs noted that although traveling
to three different meets last weekend didn't wear the
team out, it will be good to compete at home.
"Any time you're at home you have a slight advantage
because you're in your own environment," Fehrs said.
Fehrs said that last weekend was somewhat of a let
down because the competition wasn't as strong as he had
planned. He added that the team seemed to ease up during
the competition.
The team is looking forward to the meet. Although
BYU didn't win against Wyoming by as many points as
UNL did last weekend, Fehrs said they have had a pretty
good year.
"1 look forward to this being a considerably tougher
meet," Fehrs said.
BYU hasn't suffered much from illness and injury,
according to Fehrs.
"As far as 1 know, they've been wrestling pretty much
the same people all year," Fehrs said.
Brigham Young's strength lies in its 118- and 126
pound divisions. Although UNL's strength has been in the
mid-weight division, Fehrs noted 1 18-pound Scott Morgan
has been improving.

"This will give him (Morgan) more self-confidence
when competing," Fehrs said.
Unfortunately, UNL's wrestler at 126 has been ill and
hasn't been able to work out to his full potential.
"I'm hoping he'll be able to go on Thursday," Fehrs
said.
Fehrs said the heavyweight division has improved, but
still isn't where it should be.
Fehrs said he anticipates winning the meet on Thurs
day, but couldn't estimate on the scores.
"We can hang in there," Fehrs said, referring to the
lightweights. "I don't want to put too much pressure on
the mid-weights."
The team has been putting more time into workouts.
Two weeks ago they began two-a-day workouts three days
a week. Fehrs said team members work out on their own
in the morning, and then have the regular workout in the
afternoon.
This extra conditioning is in preparation for the Big
Eight tournament, but Fehrs said it has made the team
sharper for past meets. BYU is UNL's third-to-last meet
and Fehrs said it is important to win so the team can
attain its goal of a 174 record.
Chamber's bill to pay players
violates Big Eight, NCAA rule
Ernie Chambers is at it again.
Sen. Chambers' LB363 would classify Nebraska foot
ball players as state employees and, therefore, make them
paid athletes.
First and foremost, the bill would be an obvious viola
tion of Big Eight and NCAA rules. Athough Chambers
said he hasn't been notified of any violations, paying
athletes takes away their amateur status and makes them
ineligible for college ball.
my sparixs
Chambers' constant reference to football players be
ing academically weak is -to be mild-ridiculous. The idea
that athletes don't have the same chance at academic
success is fallacious. Football players, like other UNL stu
dents, have a chance for a good education. They just need
the drive to go after it. Several Husker players-Vince
Fcrragamo and Jeff Kinney, to name a few-have shown
that.
"Football players have strong bodies and weak acade
mic accomplishments," Chambers said.
Interesting. What about the nine Huskers who made
the Academic All-Big Eight team? Year in and year out,
Nebraska has the largest number of players on the confer
ence all-academic team and usually on the national team.
This hardly shows students of a low mentality.
They have "nowhere to go when the game is over,"
Chambers said.
What about the more than 90 percent of the players
who receive their degrees? Don't they have the same
chance of getting a job as any other graduated student?
Chambers says the players deserve "compensation for
what they do for the college and the state." What about
the full-ride scholarships most of the players are on? Isn't
that compensation?
At the bill's public hearing Monday, Chambers chas
tised Athletic Director Bob Devaney and football Coach
Tom Osborne for not being present. He should realize that
Devane and Osborne both have more important things
to do than get involved with a bill that even Chambers
admits has little chance of making it out of committee.
Nearly every Nebraska recruit has said Osborne and
his staff stress academics before the player even enrolls
at UNL.
The class Husker players show on and off the field
proves the Nebraska program is a good one. It will do
just fine without your help, Ernie.
In-state recruits give
verbal commitments
As of Tuesday morning, Nebraska had secured verbal
commitments from five in-state football recruits.
Jim Skow, a defensive tackle from Omaha Roncalli
joined Kevin Cole, back, Lincoln East; John White, back,
Lincoln Southeast; Todd Fisher, defensive back, Omaha
Burke; and Tom Rathman, back, Grand Island, in indicat
ing they would sign Big Eight letters of intent. The signing
deadline is Wednesday night.
Husker coaches were still waiting for word from two
other Nebraska athletes. Marty Kobza, a tight end-linebacker
and state champion discus thrower from Schuyler,
still is considering multiple football-track offers from
UCLA, Arkansas and Oregon. Dan Wingard, a defensive
back and punter-placekicker from Omaha Westside said
he is undecided between Oklahoma and Nebraska.
Both Coach Tom Osborne and recruiting coordinator
Frank Solich were unavailable for comment.
Sam Madison, a defensive back from Omaha South, has
indicated he plans to walk on at UNL this fall, in hopes of
improving his grades and earning a scholarship.
