Huskers drown Sooners 86-27
Nebraska's chances for a Big Eight championship re
mained intact as the Huskers defeated Oklahoma 86-27 in
a mial men's swimming and diving meet Saturday after
noon at the Bob Devaney Sports Center.
The Huskers were never threatened during the meet,
winning every event but for the 200 backstroke, which
was won by the Sooners' Bob Zcuger.
Nebraska got off to a quick start, setting a new dual
record of 3:30.61 in the first event, the 400 medley relay.
The relay team was made up of Cliff Looschen, Matt Rye,
Earl Welliver and Kevin Weires.
The Huskers then won the next seven events, ending
the streak with Zeuger's victory in the 200 backstroke.

Furman won the all-around with a 36.75, ahead of
Minesota's Kari Ploof (35.70), and teammates Kim Grab
owski (35.60) and Pam Bussard (35.05). Bussard scored a
lU on the vault and a 9.0 on the floor exercise to aid her
score, while Grabowski's highest score was a 9.1 on the
vault, Ploof's 9.25 on the balance beam was the only
score above the nine mark for the Gophers.
Schalk hoped to have a healthy team for the Minne
sota meet, but all-arounder Annette Madigan was injured
in a balance beam fall during practice and didn't compete.
Schalk said Madigan should be back for the match with
Illinois Chicago-Circle and Iowa State Saturday. The 1
p.m. match is part of UNL's Sports Jamboree, which will
allow spectators to see up to sex events for one admission
puce.
"I set up the schedule so the girls would be able to
compete at home for the rest of the year," Schalk said.
"This way they can get their studies back up, concentrate
on gymnastics more, and build on their confidence," she
said.
"Plus it was kind of ironic that the men's team wasn't
able to go to LSU and were here for this meet. Our team
is very close to the men's team, and it was an extra boost
to them to have the guys here cheering for them," she
added.

The meet gave Huskcr Coach Cal Bentz a chance to
experiment with his lineup.
"We were trying to do a lot of things," Bentz said.
"They (Nebraska's swimmers) were swimming events that
either directly relate to what they'll be swimming in the
Big Eight championships or events that give us a chance to
see what they might do in some other events. Under those
circumstances I would expect some of our performances
to be erratic or subpar."
Leading the Huskers was Huss Scheffer, who won the
200 and 500 freestyle events and swam a leg in the 400
freestyle relay.
Bentz said he was happy with the performance of Ne
braska's divers who placed first and third in both the one
and three-meter diving events.
"Em pleased our divers were able to win because we
had four divers at the Canadian international meet,"
Bentz said. Bentz was referring to the Pan-American In
vitationals in Winnipeg, where Ilusker divers took the first
four places.
Bentz also had praise for senior Guy Foster who won
the 200 individual medley, setting a new dual record of
1:58.95 in the process.
Nebraska has its final dual meet of the season Saturday
against Kansas. The meet begins at 3 p.m. at the Bob
Devaney Sports Center.
A win over Kansas would give the Huskers nine dual
wins for the season, tying their all-time high.

Women's track team
wins Saturday meet
but men's team loses
By Bob Astiuissen
If Saturday's track meet at the Bob Devaney Sports
Center is any indication, the battle of the sexes at Ne
braska is being won by the women.
The Nebraska women won their quadrangular by scor
ing 104 points. Their total easily outdistanced Drake's 58
points. Western Illinois followed with 37 points and
Wichita State scored 15.
The men's team didn't fair quite as well as the
women's, losing to defending Big Eight indoor champion
Kansas. The score in the dual was 75-55. It was the third
consecutive time the Huskers have lost in duals with
Kansas.
The highlight of the men's meet was a Big Eight record
in the pole vault by Kansas' Jeff Buckingham. Bucking
ham broke the record with a vault of 17-10!4 breaking his
own mark set two years ago. On his second attempt to
clear 18-1, Buckingham barely grazed the bar failing to
become the first Big Eight vaulter to clear 18 feet.
"We're really thrilled with Buckingham's vault," KU
Coach Bob Timmons said. "All of us feel he can go higher
than that."
Individual winners for Nebraska were Joe Staub in the
shot put, Randy Brooks in the 60-yard dash, Tim McCash
land in the 1000 and Norman Mills in the triple jump. The
Nebraska mile-relay team defeated Kansas and qualified
for the NCAA Indoor Championships.
Besides Buckingham, Kansas got standout perfor
mances from Warren Wilhoite, Rodney Bullock, and Tim
Tays. Wilhoite set a Sports Center record in the long jump
with a leap of 25T Bullock won both the 300-and 600
yard dash. Tays was the other double winner for Kansas
winning the mile and the two mile.
The women's meet started off well for Nebraska as
they broke a Sports Center record in the 4 by 1 lap relay.
The relay of Merlene Ottey, Janet Burke, Alicia McQueen
and Rhonda Blanford also qualified for the AIAW indoor
championships.
"We got done most all of the things we wanted to,"
Nebraska Women's Coach Gary Pepin said. "We still want
to get a mile-relay team qualified. We hope to do that
next week in the Husker Invitational."
Blanford qualified in the 60-yard high hurdles with a
school record :07.92. Marcia Tate also qualified for the
AIAW championships in the 600 with a school record
time of 1:22.14.
Nebraska finished the meet with 10 individual winners
in 12 events. The three mile and the mile were the only
events the Huskers failed to win.
