Coach optimistic
By Mary Sue Hergert
A recruiting year that Ray Huppert calls the best
I've had should help the UNL women's swimming team
improve its record. Last year, the team finished 2-6, the
sixth year head coach said.
The team will open its season Saturday against UNO
and Wyoming at the Bob Devaney Sports Center.
Performing for Nebraska will be nine returning
letter-winners and 10 new recruits. Of these 19 athletes,
12 have scholarships.
By bringing in some talented freshmen, Huppert said,
the competition among the team has increased. He said
this would improve the program.
"As you bring in new recruits th3t have a good solid
background in swimming, it is a positive rub-off. It makes
the returning swimmers a stronger unit. You create a
good, constructive competition within the team."
Huppert said he doesn't want to go into "the same
song and dance," on what it will take to do well this
season, but said in order to win, "we'll have to win with
everyone."
Uncharacteristic performances
"Last year our performance was uncharacteristic
of a Nebraska swimming program. Our goal this year is
to show a tremendous performance and be ranked as a
top team in our conference."
Huppert said he did a lot of recruiting out of state.
He said that last year, with the exception of a few, the
top Nebraska high school swimmers did not graduate.
One top recruit is from Norway. Elizabeth Burduik, a
junior college transfer, holds the junior record in Norway
for the 1500- and 800-meter free-style. She has also
won the Norwegian National Championship and the
Scandanavian Championship.
Huppert said the returning standout is Sherri Hay ward,
a junior ail-American from Columbus, Ohio, who is
a co-captain this year.
Huppert also looks for strong performances from
freshman June Meyer from Billings, Mont., and senior
co-captain Laura Spindler.
This year there are nine divers on the team, com
pared to two last year. Junior Stacey Porter and sopho
more Ann Biggs, both from Lincoln, will be returning.
Huppert also looks for a strong performance from
freshman Windy Lucerno of Denver. Lucerno gained nat
ional recognition by placing 15th at the senior nationals.
"I've worked these young ladies harder than they

off next semester,H he said.
Tougher workouts
"Because the team has more talent, I can challenge
them with tougher workouts. They can take that type of
training," Huppert said.
"We are going to have a challenging dual season. I
do not schedule softies. The tougher the teams you
swim against, the better you get," he said.
The swimming program has made some advancements
since Huppert started coaching at UNL six years ago,
he said.
Tips for
College football has been strange and turbulent so far
this year. Five No. 1 teams lost their shirts in eight weeks
and Nebraska and Oklahoma both fell out of the top 20
for a short time.
Yet both of these Big Eight powers are again in a
position to do what they have done seemingly since the
first wheel hit the market: meet head-on for the Big Eight
championship.
But if you believe Tom Osborne (remember, he's the
one who predicted Kansas might be better than we all
thought, and that this was the toughest non-conference
schedule we've ever faced), you would have to agree that
if the Huskers are not ready to play every weekfrom here
on in, they could be staring a conference standing of third
place in the face.
Sure, Nebraska is leading the Big Eight with an un
defeated conference record, but we've all heard that
before, haven't we? It's November now, and that means it
is time for the Oklahoma Sooners to start their annual
end-of-year change.
Most of college football's sacred rules are being violat
ed this year, but one remains written in stone: beating OU
late in the year is like trying to corner the market in silver.
You can come close, but it's hard to pull it off. Since
1975, Oklahoma has lost only once in November, and we
all remember when that was.
Lest I sound almost Malthusian in my pessimism, let
me reverse my field. Nebraska this year has an excellent
chance to win its last three conference games and go to
the Orange Bowl - if it plays up to its potential. If the
Huskers play the way they can, they, not Oklahoma, will
set the Big Eight on its ear this month. But first, some
troubling tendencies will have to be ironed out.
Turner Gill has been under almost constant pressure
the last two weeks, not from Husker fans, but a strangling
pass rush from Kansas and especially Missouri.

station wagons. We'd schedule meets where you could
get there and back in one day and we ate at McDonald's
three times a day."
"Now our budget allows us to charter buses or fly.
We stay in decent hotels and eat nice meals. We still
have a long way to go. Not necessarily in inoney, but in
support and tradition, he said.
Huppert said the women's programs need alumni
support, He said that kind of support can only be ac
quired through time.
"The more years the department is alive, the more
alumni you get out of the system to support you."
Gill himself has flirted with disaster with his late down
field pitches, but aren't his running backs supposed to
follow him on the option play, so he doesn't have to pitch
the ball forward?
Look for the Huskers to clear up these problems start
ing this week. Oklahoma State, Iowa State and Oklahoma
could indeed prove to be a tough trio, as Osborne has
suggested, but banking on the way things have gone in
college football this year, it may be time to bet on Nebra
ska finally closing the season with a winning streak.
Maybe this is the year the Huskers finally "pull an Okla
homa." How appropriate it was that the baseball season ended
in a sloppy and boring manner, with the fans booing and
the television announcers criticizing the action. It was
strangely symbolic of the entire season when, in the last
inning of the last game with two outs, the whole World
Series had to wait while Davey Lopes went to the dugout
to get something out of his eye.
When Bob Watson finally filed out to end the game, it
finished a great comeback for the Los Angeles Dodgers,
but signaled the end of a poor comeback for Major League
Baseball.
The strike, and the subsequent "split season" format
used to decide who got into the playoffs, ruined the 1981
baseball season. The Cincinnati Reds and St. Louis
Cardinals are right when they say the best teams did not
necessarily make the playoffs. Even so, shed no tears for
them, because anyone with borderline intelligence should
have known that a player strike would take the season
beyond the point of no return.
Commissioner Bowie Kuhn should now put the split
season experiment out of our misery and bury it forever.
Baseball should not allow its playoff system to slip to the
level of pro basketball and hockey.
St. Louis manager Whitey Herzog was right when he
said, "This system (split season) is doing the same thing
our government has been doing the last 15 years: reward
ing incompetence."
