Red team wins fumble-plagued spring game 24-9
By Larry Sparks and Cindy Gardner
Saturday's Red-White intrasquad foot
ball game turned into a battle of fumbles
as the ball fell to the Memorial Stadium
AstroTurf 16 times before the Red came
away with a 24-9 victory.
The Red squad, composed of first- and
fourth-string players, captured five of seven
White fumbles. The second- and third
string players on the White team picked up
four of the Red's nine fumbles.
Nebraska Coach Tom Osborne said the
high number of fumbles can be attributed
to the numerous combinations of players
used throughout the game.
"For a spring game, it wasn't a real slop
py game," Osborne said. 'The players
played real hard."
The Red held the White on its opening
series, then took the ball at its own 32
yard line and marched 64 yards in 12 plays

before Kevin Seibel booted a 21 -yard field
goal with 7:08 left in the first quarter.
The Red went ahead 10-0 five plays
later after Wade Praeuner recovered a fum
ble at the White 1 1 -yard line. Roger Craig
went over the right tackle from the 2
yard line for the touchdown and Seibel
added the extra point.
The White got on the scoreboard with
6:42 left in the first half when Troy Tal
arico went over from the 1-yard line to cap
a 72-yard drive. The extra-point attempt
failed and the half ended 10-6.
Mark Hagerman kicked a 28-yard field
goal midway through the third period to
pull the White within one, 10-9, but those
were the final points the White could score.
Craig Sundberg completed a 14-yard
pass to Todd Brown late in the third quar
ter for the Red and Todd Zart connected
on an 8-yard attempt to Dave Dietz early
in the fourth quarter to account for the
final margin.
Nate Mason led the Red team in rush
ing, picking up 77 yards in 13 carries. Tim
Brungardt followed with 45 yards in seven
carries. Jeff Smith led the White with 22
yards in seven carries.
"It wasn't a spectacular day in terms of
big plays," Osborne said. "We were really
beat up at the skilled positions, but we
held up pretty well."
Nebraska will exchange spring game
films with Iowa, the Huskers' first 1982
opponent, which was the reason the team
didn't show any new plays, Osborne said.
lie said the game capped a successful
spring for the Cornhuskers. The defensive
secondary made the most progress tins
spring, "but they had the farthest to go,"
he said.
"We're really still just evaluating
things," Osborne said. "I think we've got a
chance to be a pretty decent football
team."
The Huskers entered the game with a
rash of injuries at the quarterback spot.
Turner Gill was kept from major contact
all spring because of a leg injury last fall
and Bruce Mathison and Travis Turner
were held out because of spring practice
injuries. Osborne had praise for Saturday's
quarterbacks, however.
"Craig (Sundberg) and Nate (Mason) did
really well," he said. "Zart and Talarico
didn't play too badly either."
Gill came into the game to hold for ex
tra points and Osborne said he probably
could have played if he had to.
"He's made a lot of progress. He might
be a little more of a sitting duck right now
just because he doesn't have complete mo
bility." "We really have reason to believe he will
have a complete recovery," Osborne said.
Tight end Mitch Krenk was kept out of
the game because of recent surgery in
which he had part of a toe removed. Os
borne said tests showed a tumor that was
removed to be malignant, although it
doesn't apprear to have spread.
"It really caught us by surprise," Os
borne said. "But the doctors see no indi
cation at this time that they didn't get it
all."
Body -building champions crowned at contest
By Jeff Goodwin
Body builders. You have to wonder why they do it.
Why punish your body like that six days a week, two
hours a day?
For Cindy Gabelhouse. winner of the first Ms. Ne
braska contest Saturday night at Lincoln Fast High
School, it's achieving satisfaction .
"After all the hard work you go through this is the fin
ished product," Gabelhouse said. "It makes all the hard
work worthwhile."
It was the first competition Gabelhouse had ever won,
although she had entered two previous contests.
Gabelhouse said she has been working out with weights
for the last two-and-a-half years.
"I just started lifting to tone up my body muscles,"
she said. "People kept asking me if I was a body builder
and I kept telling them I wasn't. Then it occured to me
that that might be something I should get into."
Two other competitions were Saturday night. Ron
Sobczyk of Omaha won the Junior Mr. Nebraska contest
and Larry Kozeny of Omaha won the Mr. Nebraska contest.
thought another contestant, Sergio Rubio, should have
won.
But one of the seven judges for the contest, Jeff
Adelman, said the winner is usually decided before the
crowd even sees the contestants.
"The prejudging is done without the crowd," Adel
man said. "The prejudging is where the contest is de
cided." Adelman said it was not unusual for the crowd to react
as they did to Kozeny's victory.
"That can happen," he said. "In a contest like this it's
all a matter of opinion."
The evening was highlighted by a special exhibition
of lifting by James Cash.
Cash, who holds the world record in power lifting in
his weight class with a total lift of 2,100 pounds, dead
lifted 625 pounds.
He also holds the world record in the dead lift with a
lift of 832 pounds.
Cash, 28, started lifting weights six years ago. At the
time he weighed 160 pounds. He now weighs 210.
Cash, a former Lincoln resident and now a part-time
student at Kansas State, said he doesn't follow a special
diet.
good meals a day," Cash said. "I just try to stay away
from junk food and cover all of the basic food groups."
Cash will compete in the national championships this
summer and, if he qualifies for the world championships
in Berlin later this year, has hopes of breaking his world
record.
Gabelhouse said body building is gaining popularity
as a sport, especially among women.
"It is starting to catch on," Gabelhouse said. "There's
a lot of potential in the sport for women."
Gabelhouse's win qualifies her for the Ms. USA compe
tition but she has not yet decided if she will enter it.
Kozeny's victory was booed by the crowd which "What it basically comes down to is just eating three
Husker baseballers dominate Kansas
By Bob Asmussen
The Nebraska baseball team defeated Kansas by scores
of 9-1 and 8-3 Sunday to move into first place in the Big
Eight. The two wins completed a four-game sweep of the
Jayhawks.
The wins pushed Nebraska's Big Eight record to 15-5.
Oklahoma State, which was idle in Big Eight action this
weekend, is second at 124. Nebraska's overall record is
now 39-10.
"Last year against Kansas, Iowa State and Kansas State
we were six and six," Nebraska Coach John Sanders said.
'This year against those same three teams we are eleven
and one. That's been the difference for us this year."
The first game Sunday was dominated by the pitching
of sophomore Anthony Kelley. Kelley gave up only three
hits in nine innings and walked no one. He also struck out
six Kansas batters.
Nebraska scored a run in the second inning when
Harold Bright scored on Nick Richards' sacrifice fly to
center.
In the third inning, Nebraska reached Kansas starter
Randy Mcintosh for four runs. After Roger Hill grounded
out, Ben Amaya reached on an infield single. Another
infield hit and an error loaded the bases. Another error
scored one run, and Kurt Eubanks singled in two runs to
make it 5-0.
Kansas got its first hit off Kelley in the fifth when
Dick Lewallen singled. He was doubled in by Joe Heeney
for the Jayhawks' only run of the game.
Nebraska pounded out 12 hits in the first game. Every
Husker starter except for Steve Stanicek, who entered the
series with a team leading average of .465, hit safely.
In the second game the situation didn't look good early
for Nebraska. Kansas scored three runs in the first inning
off Nebraska starter Bob Sebra. Sebra lasted only two
outs of the first inning after giving up two walks, two sin
gles and a home run. Jeff Anderson came on in relief to
get the final out of the inning.
Nebraska came right back to score four runs in its half
of the first inning. Hill, Amaya, Bright and Stanicek
scored in the inning.
Nebraska scored a run in the third on a Stanicek home
run. The homer over the left field fence was Stanicek's
13th of the year, which sets a new Nebraska record for
home runs in a season.
Anderson was the second game winner moving his re
cord to 6-2. Kansas pitcher Mike Watt took the loss in
the second game and saw his record drop to 14.
