Several former assistants at Nebraska have gone on to
fome head coaches at other schools. Warren Powers,
I Walden, Monte Kiffln and Jerry Moore all coach at
lor universities.
Fischer not envious
"I'm not envious,' Fischer said. "A few of the guys
it have left here have had problems as head coaches,
jdcn didn't do well at Washington State until this year
d Powers has been at two different schools."
Fischer has a strong athletic background. He is one of
brothers who played football for Nebraska. His
jther Pat was an all-pro defensive back for the Washing
n Redskins. He has had three sons play football at Ne
aska. Fischer said his mother was the force behind his
mily's affection for Nebraska.
uMy mother was a great fan of Nebraska," he said,
not just a fan of the university but of the whole state.
iere wasn't any question about where we were going to
ihool."
"My brothers Rex, Kenny and Pat were recruited by
other schools," Fischer said. 'They'd visit the other
schools but when they got back my mother would tell
them they were going to Nebraska. We had quite a few
family discussions about where we were going to go."
Fischer played one year in the NFL after his Nebraska
career had finished. He played halfback for the New York
Giants.
"I only weighed 149 pounds," Fischer said. "After one
season of playing offense, defense and special teams I had
had enough of the pro football."
Fischer coaches line
Fischer coaches the Nebraska offensive line. He said
this year's group of linemen has tremendous potential.
"If they play to their ability, they can be outstanding,"
Fischer said. "We've got good size on the line, we've got
quickness and we've got people who desire to play. We as
coaches have to make sure they get better."
Fischer has seen quite a few centers in his 14 years as
Gymnastics coach predicts easy win
If or men's team in Big Eight contest
By Patty Pry or
The UNL men's gymnastics team will defend its title
Ivhen the Big Eight Invitational comes to Lincoln Friday
!nd Saturday, and Coach Francis Allen is predicting
n easy victory.
"There's really no one that s going to challenge us,
le said. "Our guys are just such talented, all-around
thletes, we really don't have any 'weaknesses.
Compulsories begin at 4 pjn. Friday at the indoor
track in the Bob Devaney Sports Center.
Since only all-arounders compete in compulsories,
Allen said, there will be only six gymnasts in competit
ion on Friday.
Nebraska's all-arounders, Scott Johnson, Phil Cahoy
and Jim Hartung, will compete against all-arounders
fro:;. Iowa State and Oklahoma, Allen said.
Compulsories are usually less exciting trom the tan's
viewpoint, he said.
"Unless you're a real die-hard gymnastics fan," he
said, "1 wouldn't even recommend going on Friday."
However, optionals 2 p.m. Saturday in the basket
ball arena should prove more entertaining for the fans,
Allen said.
Optionals have been combined this year with finals
competition, he explained, so that now, the winner of
each event in optionals will be the champion of that
event.
"We just decided to make it more compact this year,
to give the people more for less money," Allen said.
The all-around champion still will be determined by
a combination of compulsory and optional scores, he said.
Six teams were originally entered in the meet, Allen
said, but when Houston Baptist dropped out, each team
was allowed to add two more gymnasts to fill the gap.
Allen added Jim Mikus and Mike Bowers, but their
scores will not count in the team score, he said.
That leaves Iowa State, Oklahoma, Southern Illinois
and Northern Illinois to finish, in that order, behind
Nebraska, according to Allen.
Other Nebraska gymnasts in optionals include Derek
Blanks on rings; Steve Elliott on pommel horse, floor
exercise and vault; Frank Hibbitts and John Balluff on
pommel horse; and Ron Gallegos on high bar and rings.
Even though he is not anticipating strong outside
competition, Allen said he expects no problems with
motivation.
"We're going to go out and try to beat every scoring
record we set last year," he said. "We want to be able
to look back and see that with each meet, we got better
and better."
The Big Eight Invitational is considered one of the
major meets of the year because it is the first indication
of what can be expected of a team through the rest of
the season, Allen said.
"We plan to let them know right off the bat what we
can do," Allen said.
Spikers' coach expects good tourney
By Jodie Fields
UNL volleyball team members are optimistic about
the National Invitational volleyball tournament at UCLA,
Friday and Saturday .
Senior Shandi Pettine said she thinks Nebraska can
do well and give any of the other teams a good game.
Gwen Pell, a junior, said "i don't think thre's any
body that can blow us away."
While the team members are optimistic, assistant
coach John Corbelli is a little more reserved.
"It's asking a lot to get out of our pool. First, we
want to win three games," Corbelli said.
The pool includes Hawaii, rated No. 1 in the country,
No. 16 Texas-Arlington, No. 4 Pacific, Pepperdine and
Utah State. e .
Corbelli said Hawaii wiL be tough to beat for all the
teams at this tournament. In the last six years, the Ram
bows haven't finished below third in the country.
Corbelli said Hawaii has Diane Sebastion, a tniee year
all-American who trained over the summer with the nat
ional team. . .
Coach Terry Pettit said the team has been practicing
very well.
"We expect to play well. We are playing well as a team.
We are 11th or 12th in the country and the top-rated
team east of the rockies."
Pettit said Nebraska is proving volleyball is not just a
regional sport.
Sophomore Erin Dean said one reason Nebraska should
do well is because the West Coast teams won't expect
much from the Huskers.
"They don't know how we play," she said.
Pettit said Dean has been playing "Exceptional ball
for the last three weeks"
"We are really playing strong and have come back
from a mid-season slump. We are going to California
where we will play some very good competition which
will prepare us for the Big Eight," senior Terri Kanouse
said.

line coach. He doesn't hesitate in naming which one has
been the best.
"Dave Rhnington is the best center we've had here "
Fischer said. "He's got everything it takes to be a great
center. He's a good football player and he's got better. We
expect a lot out of him. We try to build around the good
ones like Dave."
Fischer said football has changed since his early years
of coaching. It has become much more specialized, he
said.
'The whole concept of training has changed," Fischer
said. "Now you've got winter conditioning, weight train
ing and spring football. The successful programs will be
the one' that develop with specialization."
