Secondly, If they are truly "team-oriented " they
should take this attitude and extend it to where it
truly belongs to the defense and development of
other oppressed persons. Teams that are losers
like the Pittsburgh Maulers, for example recruit
quality players to bolster their program, their poten
tial and their promts. Along these same lines, the
communities that Fryar, Gill and Rosier come from
are in need of talent and leadership.

As roie models, the three of them can fill a gap
that has, in many instances, been created by apathy
or despair. If our team" ii going to become a
"winner" we need people like Fryar, Gill and Rozicr
to do more than wolf and wait we need them to
ACT and promote a collective vocation among our
youth. What better way to promote "teamwork"
than to create a set of conditions in which those who
are not as fortunate or gifted will still have an "equal
opportunity" to make the grade? (True superstars
are as compassionate toward benchwarmers as
they are toward those who are members ofthe start
ing lineup.)
Third, there can be no political freedom without
an economic base. Fryar, Gill and Rozicr will
soon be three wealthy young men. If many of the
problems facing blacks and other minorities stem
from those in power hogging all the money and
keeping others in poverty, then why should these
three seek to do the same thing or act in the same
vile manner? While these three will be secure for life, .
the communities that spawned them cannot make
such claims.
Therefore, I believe the first commitment this trio
should make I3 to the defense and development of
the areas that they come from, contributing to the
community in as many ways as possible, since all
three represent "human capital" Suggestions include
appearing for fund-rabers with proceeds going for
scholarships or urban-oriented programs, contri
buting to the United Negro College Fund or the
Black United Fund and appearing in the schools (as
Rozier once did) to instill in our youth the impor
tance of education in a highly technological society.
If our athletes and entertainers could contribute
in these modest but meaningful ways, the oppressed
"benchwarmers" of this country might be motivated
and inspired to work their way into the "starting
lineup."
Finally, the three should keep in mind all the
money that they have helped to make for this insti
tution. In terms of this year's Orange Bowl alone,
The Chronicle of Higher Education reported that
each school will get an estimated $1.7 million. After
considering this figure, take a look at the needs of
each of the black communities from which these
young men came. The gap between the two will
provide any sensible person with an idea of the
direction toward which the energy and money of
these athletes should be channeled.
If "teamwork" is truly an attitude shared by the
young men who will graduate this year, then they
should seek to make "the greatest show on turf an
asset in which this nation's impoverished can share.
Smith 10 team places
in flag football tourney
Ey Jells Bauer -
Over the holiday break most UNL sports fans
were casting their eyes on the Nebraska Corn
huskers as they pursued the national cham
pionship in the Orange BowL
But they weren't the only UNL football team
in quest of a national title. The Smith 10
women's flag football team traveled to New
Orleans Dec. 20 for the filth annual National
Collegiate Flag Football Tournament
The Smith 10 team, made up of seven mem
bers of Smith 10 and five members of the
Gators, another UNL team, advanced to region
al action after winning the UNL intramural
women's league. Smith 10 was then crowned
co-champion of the Mid-American regional
playoff and advanced to the nationals.
The team left for New Orleans on Dec. 26,
accompanied by their coaches Jeff DeBoer and
Chris Mangan and recreation department di
rector Stan Campbell
Upon arriving in New Orleans, the team took
advantage of good weather and practiced out
side for the first time since before the regional
playoff, Campbell said.
"Most of the teams that made it into the
finals of nationah were from the South possi
bly because they were able to practice out
doors. We were able to schedule some prac
tices before the tournament, but they were
indoors," Campbell said.
Despite thb drawback, Smith 10 was able to
win its first game, 12-0, against the University
of Arizona. The team then lost to Southeast
Louisiana, 13-6, when Southeast Louisiana
broke a 6-6 tie with S3 seconds remaining.
Smith 10 bounced back to defeat Northern
Kentucky 13-0 in the losers' bracket, putting
them in the finals of their divisional playoff
Once again they met Southeast Louisiana.
Smith 10 jumped out to a 1 2-0 lead, but South
east Louisiana caught up and with 1:45 left in
the game scored to win the game, 18-12. After
winning the division, Southeast Louisiana went
on to finish second in the nation losing to the
University of Texas in the championship.
The national playoff was made up of 24
teams divided into four divisions. Division play
was double elimination and division cham
pions advanced to a single elimination bracket.
