Basketball team loses
opener to Wyoming
The Nebraska men's basketball team opened its season
with a 6248 loss to Wyoming Friday night in War Memo
rial Field House at Laramie, Wyo.
The Huskers scored the first points of the game but the
Cowboys came back to take the lead and never trailed
from that point.
Wyoming held a 31-18 lead at half time. Things got
worse for the Cornhuskers in the second half as they scor
ed only six points in the first 10 minutes of the third
period to allow the Cowboys to take a 50-24 lead.
Nebraska staged a mild rally in the final minutes to fall
back to within 14 points.
The Huskers were plagued by poor field goal shooting
as they hit on only 32 percent of their shots while the
Cowboys connected on 48 percent of their attempts.
Kenny Walton led Nebraska with 10 points. Jack
Moore and Leonard Johnson had eight each and Ray Col
lins and Claude Renfro had six each.
The Cornhuskers will play their first home game to
night against Wisconsin-Stevens Point. Tipoff is set for
7:35 pjn. at the Bob Devaney Sports Center.
NCAA to discuss limitations
The NCAA will have a special convention Wednesday
through Thursday in St. Louis, Mo., to discuss possible
reorganization of Division I.
One of the proposals which has been supported by
several College Football Association member schools is to
limit the top football division to only those schools which
average at least 17,000 fans at home games. This proposal
would cut Division I down to about 70 schools.
The NCAA convention was called after the CFA threat
ened to sign its own television package with NBC earlier
this fall.
The Big Eight Conference will also have a special
caucus Tuesday to give its member schools a chance to
discuss the available options before attending the NCAA
conference.
Football season's end yields honors
Nebraska center Dave Rimington was named Big
Eight Offensive Player of the Year last week by The
Associated Press and United Press International. De
fensive end Jimmy Williams was named Defensive Play
er of the Year by UPI. Missouri's Jeff Gaylord won
that honor from AP.
Rimington was also named All-American by the
Kodak Company,, the College Football Writers
Association of America and the Walter Camp Foundat
ion. Williams was named Ail-American by Kodak and
Walter Camp.
Sixteen Nebraska players were named to the first
and second team of the all-conference lists released last
week.
Rimington and Williams, along with I-back Mike
Rozicr, offensive tackle Dan Hurley, tight end Jamie
Williams and safety Jeff Krejci were named to the
all-Big Eight team by both wire services. AP also named
quarterback Turner Gill to its team.
I-back Roger Craig, linebacker Steve Damkroger and
punter Grant Campbell were named to the second team
by both wire services.
Offensive guard Mike Mandelko, offensive tackle
Randy Theiss and defensive tackle Henry Wcachter
made AP's second team while fullback Phil Bates, de
fensive end Tony Felici and cornerback Ric Lindquist
were named to the UPI second team.

Huskers earn ranking by playing tough schedule
If Nebraska didn't play the toughest
football schedule in the country, it had to
be pretty close. UNL Coach Tom Osborne
knew what he was talking about back in
August when he said the schedule was
tough.
Both of the teams which handed the
Huskers losses were headed for New Year's
in all, six UNL
for post-season
Day bowl games, and
opponents are headed
competition.
Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma and Okla
homa State, all teams the Huskers defeat
ed, are set for bowl games this December.
Even Iowa, which used to be the joke of
college football, is headed for California to
play in the Rose Bowl. Penn State, the
other dark spot on the 1981 schedule, has
accepted a bid to play in the Jan. I Fiesta
Bowl.

Auburn, a 17-3 loser to Nebraska,
finished with a respectable record and gave
Georgia and Alabama all they could
handle. Only Kansas State and Colorado
could be considered breathers on the
schedule.
Although the tough schedule has prob
ably knocked Nebraska out of the national
championship, it played a big role in the
Huskers winning their first undisputed Big
Eight title in 10 years.
Somehow, early games against Florida
State and Penn State have got to build a
better team than games against Utah and
New Mexico State. Clemson might find
that out in the Orange Bowl.
If s just too bad the pollsters don't take
that schedule into account when they cast
their ballots. That teams like Georgia,
Alabama and Pittsburgh eVen having a'
chance at the national title with the kind
of schedule they play is a disgrace to
college football.
Bear Bryant is probably the only coach
in America who can jump a notch in the
polls because he played idle on a Saturday
and held them scoreless. Has the Southeast
Conference ever thought of having their
top two teams play each other in the
regular season?
Although I've never favored a national
playoff system, Til have to admit it would
at least make sure the national champion
has earned its way to the top. The guess
here is that the teams in the east and the
Southeast Conference would be virtually
shut out of the national championship if a
playoff were developed.
But, national rankings aside, Cornhusker
fans have plenty to be happy about this
season. Osborne and company showed
poise in finishing with a 9-2 record after a
1-2 start.
Last week's 37-14 win at Oklahoma re
moved any doubt about who had the best
team in the Big Eight. Not only did the
Huskers race through the conference with a
7-0 record, they defeated those seven
teams by an average of 30 points per game.
Best of all, we won't have to listen to
Barry Switzer for an entire year.
And, if an award is to be given for
character, quarterback Mark Mauer should
win it hands down. The senior pushed aside
the jeers that were directed at him earlier
in the season and came through with a
sparkling perfomiance against theSooners.
It's not hard to see why the team elected
Mauer as its captain.
With the early season blues behind
them, the Cornhuskers seemed to pick up
steam with every game. That and the lead
ership of players like Mauer could spell
trouble for Clemson.
