Last spring for the second consecu
tive year, the Nebraska men's tennis
team came away with third place in
Big Eight Championships. But this year,
Coach Kerry McDermott is looking to
finish higher.
"We are starting to come on and are
becoming more competitive," McDer
mott said. "We should be able to catch
up on Oklahoma this year."
Nebraska finished behind Oklahoma
State and Oklahoma in the final con
ference standings. Nebraska's women's
championships, which give an indica
tion that the Oklahoma schools are
dominating the Big Eight conference.
"A lot of it has to do with the
weather," McDermott explained. "Peo
ple are more apt to go to the warmer
climate where they can play all year
round."
The Cornhuskers have seven people
returning from last year's team, which
finished with a dual record of 13-7, 4-2
in the Big Eight. They lost senior David
Schulze, who decided to stay in Min
neapolis to finish school. They have
added two new recruits Lincoln's
Jim Burton, the Nebraska number-one
singles champion, and John Rhoades
of Las Vegas, Nev., state singles cham
pion. Junior Craig Johnson (Lincoln) will
return to play number-one singles for
Nebraska.
"Craig can compete with any guy in
the Big Eight," McDermott said. "For
example, the Kansas singles player
who won the Big Eight was beaten by
Craig twice. He is just as good as any of
the others."
Joining Johnson will be junior Jim
Carson, senior Brian Edwards, senior
Doug Elsass, sophomores John Schuele
and Tony Sloboth, junior Ridge Smidt
(Big Eight No. 6 singles champion),
and seniors Ashwin Vasan and Scott
Wilson.
"We are just as good as last years
team because of our experience," Mc
Dermott said.
Nebraska will play in the Kansas
Invitational the weekend of Sept. 30,
one or twy away matches, and one or
two at home this fall.
A team meeting is scheduled for 3:30
Thursday in the press room of the Bob
Devaney Sports Center.
Walk-ons who want to try out for the
team can attend a meeting at 4:15 p.m.
that day in the same room.

Paterno and Osborne agreed that tailback Jon
Williams can be just as dangerous as Curt Warner,
last year's Lion Ail-American.
Last year, Williams rushed for 65 yards on 10
carries against Nebraska and caught three passes in
a reserve role.
Paterno has said he believes his defense is his
team's strong suit, and fall practices haven't chang
ed his mind. The squad returns five starters, but
Paterno thinks that four of those players tackle
Greg Gattoso, linebacker Steve Radecic and backs
Harry Hamilton and Mark Robinson, are legitimate
AU-Americans.
"Our defense is quicker and a little bit more
mature than last year's," he said, tt and, overall, a x
better defense.
Paterno said at first he was puzzled about why his
team accepted the invitation to play in the Kickoff
Classic, but new he is not apprehensive about the
game.
"It has turned out to be very exciting for our fans,"
he said, "and the squad is excited."
VOLLEYBALL ERIN DEAN begins her fourth
season as a starting outside hitter for the Huskers.
The senior from Kansas City was named honorable
mention All-American by Volleyball Monthly last
season, and was named to the NCAA All-Regional
team after i jcording 24 kills against Purdue.
