Swim GoacHu Bemts optimistic alb nut season
By Laurie Moses
Although the Nebraska men's and women's swim
teams won't have their first meet until November,
both coaches say they are looking forward to the
season with anticipation.
"I'm really excited about this season," women's
coach Kay Huppert said, "Every year is different."
Men's coach Cal Bentz said, "This was a good
recruiting year, maybe the best since I've been here.
We have 11 new swimmers including walk-ons."
Four scholarships were awarded for the women's
team. Dana Powers of Tacoma, Wash., swims but
terfly, individual medley and freestyle. Kenya Kelly
of Fort Lauderdale, Fla., swims backstroke and but
terfly. Susan C ashman of Palm Beach Gardens, Fla.,
swims middle-distance freestyle and Michelle Kal
lman from Littleton, Colo., swims backstroke and
freestyle.
Recruits for the men's team include Chuck Ilea, a
California junor college transfer. Hea was the Cali
fornia junior college champion in the 100 freestyle.
Other recruits were Ernie Duran of Fresno, Calif.,
Micheal Edmundson of St. Charles, 111., and Jeff
Brown of St. Cloud, Minn.

Emily Ricketts, a sophomore freestyle spe
cialist from Irvine, Calif., competes at the
Bob Devaney Sports Center pool last winter.
The men's team has won four straight conference
titles. One of the swimmers who could lead the way
t o a fift h is sophomore Tim Brinner. He finished 1 1 th
in the 100 breaststroke at the Senior Nationals in
Clovis, Calif. .
"He has the potential to score at nationals, Bentz
said.
Junior Cliff Looschen, a two-time all-American,
won't be returning to the team this year. Looschen
quit after being reprimanded by Bentz for not work
ing out hard enough this summer. Looschen plan
ned to walk on at Indiana this fall.
"As a scoring potential, he'll be missed," Bentz
said. "He was t wo-time defending Big Eight champ in
the 50 and 100 freestyle, so yes, the team will notice
his being gone. In other terms though, it may be
positive. We can use his scholarship on someone
else. We will go with the guys we have," Bentz said.
The strengths of the women's team include the
freestyle and backstroke.
"Another strength we have is depth. Maybe not
overall, but in single events," Huppert said.
"We'll wait and see what people want to do. We
have the potential for a Big Eight Championship. . .
anybody can be beat," Huppert said.

While the minds of most Nebraskans
are on the Big Red football team, the
men's basketball team, is on paper, on
the verge of its first NCAA tournament
qualifying berth.
But, in order to see that goal real
ized, certain holes will have to be filled
in the Nebraska lineup.
Leading rebounder and third lead
ing scorer Claude Renfro, starting
guard Greg Downing, and ace reserves
Terry Smith and Lenard Johnson are
gone. Overall, coach Moe Iba returns
only four lettermen from last year's
squad.
On the other hand, three members
of last year's starting lineup are back
to lead the Cornhuskers. Center Dave
Hoppen, forward Stan Cloudy and
guard David Ponce all return and are
counted on to log their share of leader
ship playing time.
Hoppen, a 6-J1 sophomore from
Omaha, took Nebraska by storm as a
freshman, leading the Huskers in scor
ing 13.9 points a game. He also was
Nebraska's second leading rebounder.
Cloudy sparked the Huskers to the
semifinals of the Natonal Invitational
Tournament in New York and wound
up as Nebraska's second leading
scorer, tallying 11.7 points a game.
Ponce averaged 8.1 points a game.
Also returning from last year's squad
is Eric Williams, who filled the role of
third guard last year while averaging
more than four points a game and
Williams figures to be the leading can
didate to replace Downing as Ponce's
opposite.
This year's squad also marks the
return of John Matzke, Mike Martz and
James Moore. All three were red
shirted last year and figure to chal
lenge for the power forward position
vacated by Renfro, and Matzke will
give Cloudy a battle for his small for
ward position.
Iba also inked three high school
recruits and two junior college recruits
to this year's squad.
Keith Neubert and Ron Smith figure
to battle Moore and Martz for the
power forward position. Smith, 6-9,
also appears to be the leading candi
date to back up Hoppen at center,
Brian Carr should give Nebraska
depth at the point guard position and
Curtis Moore and Titus Dock will bat
tle for the small forward position.
Iba indicated in the "Pre-Season Pro
spectus" that Cloudy could be tested at
guard, depending on the progress of
the others at the small forward
position.
Iba also said that his two main worries
are filling the power forward position
and the stability of the guards.
The coaching staff also has a new
addition in assistant coach Tim Car
ter, who was an assistant coach at
Oklahoma the last two years.

Its microscopically-textured
ball grips the paper to help prevent
messy blobbing and slapping.
And it writes up to rive times
longer than most ball pens.
