Quote Book: Notre Dame Athletic Director Gene
Corrigan on the school's academic program: "We don't
have a three-platoon system like USC's: offense, defense
and a third platoon to attend class." (Actually, the Irish
have no offense.)
What Did You Say?: Florida State tight end Zeke
Mowatt, suffering from an inner ear problem-, went to
team trainer Don Fauls, who popped a small cockroach
out of his ear. Mowatt may have the trainer tape his
ears from now on.
Pro Strike Report
Let us not think about the unthinkable - that there
will be no strike in the NFL this season, that we will
have four uninterrupted months of the New Orleans
Saints, Howard Cosell, the Bears' quarterbacks, the Cow
boys' cheerleaders, Jimmy the Greek . . .
If, instead, the players are kind enough to strike -say,
from the fourth to the eighth weeks - how will
the Super Bowl match-up be determined? Well, the
NFL has a secret plan: a split season (sound familiar?).
In case of ties, first-place finishers for the first (three
game) half would be determined by coin flips, assuming
the NFL has' enough coins to go around after the
expensive court battle against the Raiders.
The expanded format would require other time-saving
steps: Division playoffs would be contested on Atari
machines, conference playoffs would he decided by
which teams can reach midfield first before the game to
shake hands with their opponents, and the Super Bowl
would be sudden death (from the opening kickoff).
The Bottom Ten, not taking any chances, has named
Washington (04 in pre-season) as the 1982 champion.

Frosh football coach expects
close battle in today's game
Last year, Ellsworth Junior College
gave Frank Solich's Nebraska freshman
football team its toughest game of the
year, a 14-9 Husker win. Solich expects
more of the same when the two teams
clash at 1 p.m. today at Memorial Stadium.
"I think it will be a similar type of
game," Solich said. He said he is parti
cularly concerned with Ellsworth's interior
linemen.

UNL women athletes interested in try
ing out for the Cornhusker basketball team
are invited to attend an informational
meeting next week at the Bob Devaney
Sports Center. The meeting will be Thurs
day at 1 p.m. in the sports center press
room.
The Fellowship of Christian Athletes
will have a picnic Sunday at Pioneers Park.
Former Nebraska I-back Jeff Kenney and
Husker shot putter Joe Staub will be the
speakers. There is no cost and the public is
invited to attend. Those needing rides
should meet in the South Stadium parking
lot at 4:30 p jn. that day.
"They return several interior linemen on
both offense and defense," he said, "and
I am concerned with their size."
Pernell Gatson will start at quarterback
for the Huskers. The all-state quarterback
from Omaha Central will be backed up by
Don Douglas, who also will see action,
Solich said.
Doug DuBose and Thurman Hoskins
will share I-back duty. DuBose had been
working with th i varsity at wingback, but
will easily make the transition to I-back
for the younger Huskers, plich said.
"He accepted it (the change) very well,
both mentally and physically," he said.
Solich said his offense has staggered
some since the opening of fall drills.
Practices this week, however, have
convinced him of the offense's capabilities.
"Offensively, we have come along to the
point where we are doing things well,"
he said. "There has been a great deal of
progress with these kids offensively.".
Solich described the Husker attack as
"fairly balanced," saying "We will do a few
things on the ground and a few through the
air."
The Husker defense also looks good,
he said. "Defensively, this is pretty much a
group that has performed well since the
beginning."
