The game, scheduled to begin at 1:30 p.m. tomorrow, will provide some new faces, especially in the offensive' backfield. None of the Husker quarterbacks have seen playing time except when the game was safely in hand Mark Mauer and Craig Sundberg will quarterback the Red (first and fourth string) team, and Turner Gill and Bruce Mathison will call signals for the second and third-team, the White squad. Nate Mason probably will not play Saturday, Osborne said. Mason is out with a muscle pull. Joining Mason on the bench will be split-end Todd Brown, who has a rib injury. Some of the faces who will be nearer to the spotlight than before at I-back are Mark Moravec and Tim Brung- Recovery attitude . . . ardt of the Red team and Jeff Smith, Ricky Greene, Dave Burke and Dennis Rogan of the White team, all battling for the backup spot behind Roger Craig. A similar situation exists at fullback, except that the leader, Phil Bates, has almost as little pbying time as his pursuers, among them Paul Smith, Pete IliU and Dan Ripa. Anthony Steels joins Craig as the other holdover from last year's backfield. Coaches have indicated Irv ing Fryar is next in line. Fryar and with Jeff Smith, would be "our top two punt return men if we were playing a game this week, according to Osborne, Steels and Ricky Simmons are the kickoff returners for now, he said. Simmons and Scott Woodward will start at split end for the White and Red teams, respectively, and others trailing Todd Brown at that position are Scott Kimball, Scott Norberg and Todd Sorenson. The offensive line, led by Dave Rimington, called me oesi center we ve nad by Usborne, has a pair of new guards, Mike Mandelko and Tom Carlstrom. The defense, with a few exceptions, will be the same as last year's, but one year wiser. The most competitive battle this spring has been at the defensive end spot vacated by Derrie Nelson. The leader now is Dave Ridder, a junior. Behind him are Tony Felici, Eric Buchanan and Todd Spratte. Jeff Krejd, second string last year, is the first team safety. Kevin Seibel and Grant Campbell will do the punting Saturday. Osborne said Campbell, the junior college transfer, has punted better this spring, "but if Seibel punts like he did in the bowl game, hell be in there." "We've hit hard all spring, Osborne said, "but we've been lucky in that we haven It had many first-line players get hurt." He said that is one of his major concerns in any spring practice. Continued fron Page 12 "It really surprises me that I haven't hit any home runs yet," Sinovich said. "It hit 15 homers last summer and I can't understand why I haven't hit any this year. I think I was worrying about it too much. I was pressing myself to try to hit the long one and I was striking out way too much. "Now I've cut down my swing and I'm more relaxed," he added. "I know that sooner or later, I'll hit my share of home runs." Sinovich got his start in baseball at a young age. His older brothers, Mike and Mark, both played minor league baseball and he said his father was very supportive when it came to athletics. "My father pushed me into the sport," Sinovich said, "But if 1 needed someone to throw the ball with, he was always there with his glove. I was really encouraged by both Mike and Mark's success in baseball and ever since I was a little kid, I've wanted to play in the pros." Sinovich was drafted by the Milwaukee Brewers when he was a sopho.more but elected to remain in college.

"I told him I didn't think I would be ready for ball right after my cast was off. They didn't draft me last year, but I'm hoping that they will this year. It would be great to play in front of the home town fans. I know some of the Cardinal players, but I'd like to play anywhere there's an opening." UNL signed Sinovich after his sophomore year, snapping him away from Colorado. "I played summer ball in Beatrice for the Beatrice Bruins and 1 knew some of the players for UNL," Sinovich said. "Coach Sanders knew me from Arizona and was recruiting me. It was between Colorado and UNL I liked the people, the staff and the facilities at UNL so I chose to come here. I've never regretted that decision." Sinovich has made all his plans in regard to a pro career. "If I'm not drafted, I'll just play summer ball and try to get a tryout with a team. No matter what happens I'm going to stick with it," he said. "It's what I love to do."
