The league, in its second year, is open to

Campbell hopes for as much interest this
year.
The games are scheduled at night and con

should be accommodated in the schedule,
Campbell said.
Campbell said any person who would like
to play but is unable to find a team is encour
aged to post his name and information on the
bulletin board at the Recreation Office. If
enough people post their names a team will
be organized or they will fill out the other
teams that need members.
A $10 forfeit fee is required from each
team. If a team does not forfeit a game dur
ing the season the money is returned. If they
forfeit one game they lose $5 and if they for
feit two or more they lose the enti' amount.
Play in the league begins June 22.

University of Nebraska-1 Jncoln's Dave
Rimington is just a regular, married, hard
working student, who just happens to stand 6
feet 3 inches tall, weigh 275 pounds, and have
an Outland Trophy, and a promising senior
foolbal season ahead.
Rimington, 21, will enter his senior cam
paign with the Cornhuskers as one of the
most highly regarded lineman in the nation.
In addition to being one of only four juniors
ever to win the coveted Outland Trophy,
given annually to the nation's top interior line
man, he was named Associated Press 1981 Big
Kight Offensive Player of the Year, the only
lineman ever chosen for that honor.
With success such as this it would be easy
to lose perspective of the game's meaning but
Rimington is taking it all in stride.
"I just want to make sure I go out there
with a good attitude and play hard," he said.
"I guess there are three other guys that won
the Outland as a junior, but none of them re
peated, so the odds are against me."
Lifter of the year
The talented center is also on the outlook
for the letdown that has plagued past junior
football stars in their senior year.
"I think it is important when you have a
pleasant surprise in your life that you guard
against a letdown," he said. "The Outland
doesn't play for you, you have to play for it."
Rimington has been a promising football
player since his youth in South Omaha. As a
senior playing for Omaha South High School
he was named All-State, which helped win
him a scholarship with the Huskers.
In attending Omaha South, Rimington had
the fortune to go to a school with "one of the
best weight programs in the state...," he said.
Rimington has lifted weights regularly since
junior high and has become one of the strong
est players on the team.
He can bench-press 420 pounds, and run a
40-yard dash in 5 seconds, quick for a man his
size. As a result of his hard work he was voted
the 1981 "Lifter of the Year" by his Nebraska
teammates.
Coming to a university as famous tor lis
football as Nebraska has worried many re
cruits about mistakes but Rimington was able
to overcome that fear before arriving for his
freshman season.
"We have a complicated blocking system
up here and it took a while to learn that and I
realized this before I got here. I just try to do
everything hard and not worry too much. If I
messed up, I messed up," he said.
"I wanted to play varsity football," said
Rimington. "I wanted to start, not right away,
but I wanted to one time because when I was
recruited a lot of teams said 'there are a lot of
players that were good in high school that
never played at Nebraska.' I was kind of leary
about that when I came here but I wanted to
play for the Huskers. I'm glad everything
worked out t he way it did."
Wife is encouraging
Rimington's wife Lisa has been a constant
help to his football career.
"Lisa is working and going to school both,
so she takes a lot of the financial worries of
the family. She has helped me quite a bit,"
Rimington said. "She gives me encourage
ment and things like that, that you need some
limes." "It is depressing, sometimes, playing foot
ball because you don't do as well as you know
you can and you have minor injuries, and
major ones, that get in the way. If you don't
have someone to help you out it's kind of
tough," Rimington said.
With an almost assured professional foot
ball career down the road, an injury in his
final season worries almost everyone except
Rimington himself.
"If you think you are going to get hurt, you
probably will. You go out there with the best
attitude you can and go 100 percent. I think
that will guard a lot against injury," he said.
"You take the right precautions, you try
and get yourself in good shape. If it happens,
it happens, it's not something you can defend
yourself against, so I'm not going to worry
about it too much," said Rimington.
If he plays professionally, what position
does he think he will play?
"I don't think I . have the speed to play
guard, though maybe I could develop it. In the
pros you have to be a pretty good-sized guy to
play tackle, so I feel I'd be best off at center,
but I'd try whatever they wanted me to," said
Rimington.
Should other college-bound athletes make
their goal the Outland Trophy?
"I don't think you can really make a goal
like that, it's just something that happens," he
said. "I think if you enjoy the game and enjoy
competition and you go out there and do the
best you can I guess anything is possible."
Prevention helps most
in fighting insect pests
BY JENNI BURROWS
The rainy weather that has left Lincoln
with soggy lawns and gardens will leave
something else too an abundance of mos
quitoes and other annoying insects.
What can backyard barbecue buffs do to
keep their picnics free of the pests?
According to Dave Keith, extension ento
mologist for the University of Nebraska Insti
tute of Agriculture and Natural Resources,
"No kind of insect trap is 100 percent effi
cient" in ridding a yard of annoying insects.
Keith said that there are some ways to help
control insects, but no single device or
method can stop all insects.
Keith recommended keeping the area
around houses free of standing water, where
mosquitoes can lay eggs. He said it takes
about two weeks for a mosquito to produce a
new generation.
Checking the gutters of houses for water
collected in clogged drain spouts caused by
leaves and debris, making sure that spare
tires leaning against houses haven't gathered
water inside them, and draining wading pools
when not in use will help control mosquitoes,
Keith said.
"Inseci repellant worn on the skin is as ef
fective as anything you can do" to keep in
sects off of you, Keith said. He recommended
spraying the foliage, trees and bushes near
outdoor activity areas with commercial in
secticides or outdoor fogging mists to kill the
insects that rest in the plants.
Chad Krause, assistant manager at Sutler
place Hardware, 5221 S. 48th Stsaid Spray in
secticides have been selling well lately. Tiki
torches, which burn a fuel that contains an in
sect repellant, have been a big seller, Krause
said.
Consumers seem to be overlooking the
bright lights of the electronic bug killers. The
device emits a light that attracts insects and
then electrocutes them when they touch the
bulb. The electronic bug sappers have not
been moving off the shelves according to
Krause. Krause said he prefers to use the
elect ronic insect killer because it does not use
insecticide and it will last for years. But be
cause insects are attracted to light from
other sources besides the electronic insect
killer, insects may be diverted from flying
into the insect killer by porch lights or other
light sources.
When placed properly, electronic insect
killers can be very effective, Krause said. The
best spot for the device depends on the layout
of that particular yard, he said, but generally
the best place for an electronic bug killer is in
a spot between the source of the insects, like
trees and bushes, and you.
"That way, the bugs are killed before they
can get to you," Krause said.
Yellow bug lights are "somewhat effec
tive," said Krause, but not totally effective in
keeping bugs away.
For those who prefer a more traditional,
tried and true approach to insect control, fly
swatters are in good supply in most of Lin
coln's hardware and grocery stores.
And for those who are on a tight budget,
rolled up newspapers and magazines may be
just the thing to keep them from going buggy.
UN-L to test disaster system
A test of the disaster alarm system, in
stalled in University of Nebraska-Lincoln
buildings, will be held Friday at 9:30 p.m.
UN-L Maintenance Dept. Manager Jerry
Delhay said the test is being held primarily to
acquaint custodians, who generally work at
night, with the alarm system and to make
sure that night employees know the right
thing to do in case of an emergency.
When the alarm sounds, Delhay said night
employees should go to the designated tor
nado shelter areas in each building and re
main there until until 9:40 p.m.
