UNL bowling club changes format, raises funds
By Scott Ahlstrand
The UNL bowling club this week changedits qualifi
cation format by increasing the number of qualifying
games from six to 19 and keeping the games at one stu
dent union bowling alley.
Hie club consists of participants in the Thursday night
Big Eight Classic League. Tryouts are required in order to
be a club member. Members bowl a 12-game block before
each tournament to determine who will make up the
men's and women's teams for the tournaments.
Junior Denise Steyer said the new format is better than
the previous method of bowling three game sets at both
the Nebraska Union lanes and the East Union lanes.
"Before we had to run around all the time," Steyer
said. "Now it's more of a tournament-style approach."
Steyer is typical of the club members. A "rookie" this
year, she also competes in two other city leagues.
"Bowling keeps me busy, but it's a lot of fun," Steyer
said. "I do it for myself. I thought about doing it as a
freshman, but I worked too much. I chickened out last
year, but this summer I decided to try out."
The additional leagues qualify Steyer for city toruna
ments. The UNL team has completed in only one tournament
so far this semester, the Midwest Intercollegiate Bowling
Tournament in Edina, Minn. The women's team finished
second in a field of 10. The men's team placed sixth
among 1 1 teams. The women were paced by the bowling
of Kim Podraza. Podraza had the highest series (570) and
finished second in the "all events" competition. Steve
Vlach led the men by rolling the highest game (248) and
by placing second in the "all events".
NETV presents sports show
The second season of Sports America will begin Nov. 8
on the Nebraska Educational Telvision Network.
Denver, Colo., news reporter and sportscaster Gary
Cruz will be the host for the 39-hour interregional sports
program, which are coordinated through the Pacific
Mountain Network.
To open the season, Sports America presents "Inter
national Stars on Ice," figure skating exhibition featuring
top skaters from the United States and Canadian Olympic
teams.
The series can be seen on all stations of the NETV network.
Coach Rollie Hughes said the team is just beginning to
tap its potential.
"This team has more talent and potential then any
team we've had in the last three or four years," Hughes
said. "They're also more fun to work with. They Ve got
great personalities and they all get along with each other.
We only have one senior on this year's team so we should
be able to crank up the program for the future."
The club also receives instruction from assistant
Coaches Steve Mears and Bill Straub. Mears bowled on the
team from 1976 to 1978, while Straub is an acting pro
who recently recorded a 300 game and a 772 series. Local
bowler Gerry Keslar has also aided in the instruction.
Hie next tournament for the club is the Kansas Classic
in Lawerence, Kan. The club will then send a team to St.
Louis, Mo. to compete in the Thanksgiving Collegiate In
vitatiohal. Steyer said the New Year's Collegiate Invita
tional in Las Vegas, Nev. is probably the biggest tourna
ment the club will compete in.
The club hopes to raise money for these tournaments
through fund raisers such as the upcoming Bowlathon,
Nov. 6 through 7.
"We're trying to raise as much money as we can,"
Hughes said. "We're working harder than ever before to
do it right."
Wrestling coach hopes for third place
By Tom Golden
Assistant Husker wrestling Coach Kelly Ward is a
realist. The second-year aide under Coach Bob Fehrs has
no illusions about the Huskers' chance in the Big tight
this season.
"We're not idealists," he said. "We're not going to win
the Big Eight tournament by no means because we would
have to be a contender for the national title, and there's
no way we're contenders for the national title."
Ward's analysis, however, is not pessimistic. In fact, he
thinks the Huskers may have one of their best teams ever.
He just said the competition in the conference is too stiff
for the Huskers to be thinking about the Big Eight
Championship right now.
"We feel we have a very good team, but we just happen
to be in a conference that's the strongest in the nation.
This is unfortunate for us as far as getting honors at the
Big Eight tournament, although we may be able to get a
couple of winners."
Ward said Oklahoma, with 10 all-Americans, should
finish far ahead of the pack, followed by Iowa State and
Oklahoma State. He said the Husker's goal this season will
be to surpass Oklahoma State as the third place finisher.
"Last year we jumped out of the bottom of the Big
Eight and overtook Missouri as the fourth place team.
With a very good year we could come in third, and that
would be excellent," Ward said.
Ward said the team is slightly discouraged entering the
season knowing the Big Eight crown is virtually out of
reach, but added that the national tournament provides
the most incentive for the team all season.
"Actually the Big Eight is just a steppingstone to the
national tournament which is the big tournament. Most
people think the Big Eight is it, and it would be nice to
win, but I'd rather see our guys go to the national tourn
ament and place high there."
Ward said the Huskers most likely to place high in the
national tournament are senior Johnnie Selmon, last
year's Big Eight 134-pound class champion who is expect
ed to wrestle at 142 pounds this season; Judd Norman, a
redshirt last year, wrestling in the 158-pound category,
and Bill Scherr, a sophomore wrestling in the 177-pound
class.
Ward stressed that team depth is much improved over
last year, thanks to seven returning lettermen and a host
of incoming recruits, including 126-pound Chris Marisette,
134-pound Lance Milsap, 142-pound David Goldman,
150-pound Roy Cahoj, 190-pound Ted Keys, and heavy
weight Gary Albright.
"Having more quality wrestlers will help because it will
push everyone and make them compete harder," Ward
said.
"We have the ability to get into the top 15 nationally
and we could have two or three all-Americans, and if luck
holds out we could have a national champion in Johnnie
Selmon."
Ward said the Huskers' non-conference schecule is very
tough, with opponents such as UNO, Indiana, Brigham
Young, Army, Syracuse and Northern Iowa. However, he
said, the team has a realistic chance to beat all of them.
"If the team does as well as I think they can do, and
lady luck is. with us, we can win all the non-conference
matches," he said.
