Anderson is E-Juskere' 'stopper'
By Harry Trcvarrow
As the Nebraska baseball team gears up
its drive for the College World Series,
pitcher Jeff Anderson is the one player
they'll want on the diamond when the
chips are down.
"Jeff is a great competitor,' assistant
coach Ray Tromba said. "II there's one
player on this team that I look at as a
stopper'. Jeffs the one. He has the ability
to do whatever it takes to win a game for
us.
Anderson, a junior trom Nampa, Idaho,
is about to complete his third season as a
Husker. In his first two seasons, he led the
pitching staff in appearances with 22 as a
freshman and 23 more as a sophomore.
Anderson posted a 2.47 carned-run-avcrage
those years, compiling a 1 54 record while
striking out 58 batters in 13 1 innings of
action.' Anderson led the Big Fight in 1981
with an amaing 0.82 ERA during the
conference season and continued his
success last year with a 1.65 mark. Ne
braska is lucky to have acquired Anderson.
"I had decided to go to a junior college
down in Arizona," Anderson said. "But 1
came home one night and had a message
from (Nebraska coach) John Sanders.
I'd always dreamed of playing for a big
name school. 1 was impressed with the
facilities and I changed my mind."
Anderson, a 6-foot righthander, wasn't
even predicted to pitch' for the lluskers
after fall workouts as a freshman.
"The coaches helped me work really
hard over the winter," Anderson said. "I
improved my concentration 100 percent
and was used mostly by relief pitcher
that season."
Anderson posts a perfect 7-0 record
this year to lead the team in victories.
He has struck out 28 batters in 42 innings
of action while compiling a l.(3 ERA.
Ron Hendricks leads the team with a
1.47 mark in 18 innings pitched. Anderson
says he doesn't consider himself a strike
out pitcher.
"1 think I'm better at working around
hitters and forcing ground balls," Anderson
said. "1 like to go to my sinker and curve
to throw off opponents."
Tromba cites Anderson's consistency as
his biggest asset.
Anderson said he expects Oklahoma
State to challenge the Huskers for the
Big Eight title. The conference tournament
is set for May 12 through 15 in Oklahoma
City.

"I've always tried to be consistent and
I think I've been able to do that". Jones
said. "How I saw myself was that if I
could improve every year, Ed be satisf
ied." "We've been able to do good here at
Nebraska teamwise, with not much talent.
You could never think the team could do
well and yet we would. Sophomore year
was the best year we had as a team.
In that year, 1981 , Nebraska was able to
finish second in both the Big Eight indoor
arid outdoor championships. The Corn
huskers finished 10th in the NCAA Indoor
that season as well. It was a good year
personally for Jones as he placed in the
long and triple indoor jumps and qualified
tor Nationals on Nebraska's 400-meter
relay team that holds the school record.
The Jamaican athletes on the team are
sometimes forced to take the blame for
when things go wrong. Jones said when
foreign athletes come to compete in the
United States in track they are expected
to be great and nothing short of greatness
is good enough.

"When things go bad and it involves the
Jamaicans the blame falls on us. As a
foreigner you're in a position that you
have to do well all the time. You feel that
everybody's got their eye on you.
"We (Jamaicans) work out at a slower
pace and people think that we're lazy
but that's just the way we work out.
People feel that if you work out hard
you'll do better. But we can't take what
we've been taught for 15 years and just
throw it out. I just said to hell with that."
Right now Jones is pointing to one
race, the 400-meter relay at the Big Eight
championships in Stillwater, Okla.
"If Charles goes through that tape and
we've won, that would end it perfectly,"
Jones said. "I'll feel great going out that
way. IfHve win the race it will make my
years at Nebraska seem that much
sweeter."
"I run track because it's fun. It's getting
to a point where its not fun anymore.
Everybody wants to win. It's getting to
a point where it's an all-win situation. I
don't want any part of that."

You work hard all
your life and what
do you get?
Well, depending
on where you work,
you could get cancer.
Over the next
several years the
American Cancer
Society will be con
ducting more research
into certain lifestyles
and exposures which
could increase cancer
mortality.
So know the
risks.
Don't smoke.
Look for the
warning signs of
cancer.
And retire not
only with a gold
ticker.
But a healthy
one, also.
