Coaches rebuild vjresiling program
with largest recruiting class ever
r.y Vsrd 7. Trfplctt III
1.3 the year Nebraska
wrestling enthusiasts have been
dreading for the last four sea
sons. The Scheer twins, both NCAA
champions, Olympic alternates
and several time Big Eight champ
ions, are gone.
Plus, a number of wrestlers
coach Bob Fehrs was counting
on quit the team midway through
last season, a move that not
only crippled the dual record
for a while, but also will throw a
lot of freshmen into the fire
when this season begins Nov. 10.
It adds up to a young, inexpe
rienced team that will try to
equal 1934's fourth-place nation
al finish, the highest ever by a
Nebraska team.
"This is what we refer to as
the proverbial rebuilding year,"
Fehrs said. "It wasn't exactly,
planned that way, but we wU
have a few holes to fllL"
The midseason dropouts re
sulted in five dual losses, which
at one point dropped the team
to 20th in the national ratings.
A late season surge salvaged a
1 5-5 final record.
"We struggled a bit in the
early season, and some of our
toughest matches were early,"
Fehrs said. "As the season went
on, we regrouped ourselves and
ended up pretty close to the
dual record we thought we could
get.",---

That took some "semi-heroics,"
Fehrs said, most of which were
provided by the "Murderer's Row
of Jim Scheer, Bill Scheer and
heavyweight Gary Albright.
While the Scheers won at 177
pound and 190 pounds respec
tively, Albright, who will return
for his junior year, finished sec
ond, losing to enormous Tab
Th acker of North Carolina State.
He too was an Olympic alternate.
This season, Fehrs figures Al
bright and junior Matt Camp
bell ( 1 1 8), to be the team's strong
est performers.
"We have several other people
returning who may help us, but
they're going to have to be on
their toes," Fehrs said. ,
An 18-member recruiting
class, the largest ever, is the rea
son most of the squad's weights
will be up for grabs. Fehrs said
he thinki at least five of the rook
ies will be in the starting dual
lineup. "This is definitely the
largest number of recruits weVe
ever had," Fehrs said, "but the,
previous year we had our worst
in terms of numbers. That, coup
led with the other problems,
forced us to bring in quality and
quantity if we wanted to hold
national prominence."
Several state champions high
light the recruit list, including
in-state champions Craig Thalk
en of Columbus, Bill Meyers of
Lincoln and Ron DeBoer of Firth.
Tim Kenney was a Wisconsin
state champion at 142, while
BuckMatsen and Keenan Turner
..
te Sundays ' .with ' :
were repeat state champions in
Kansas and Colorado respect
ively. Both will wrestle at 150.
Cody Olson was astate champ
ion in Nevada and a West Coast
champ after moving to Califor
nia. Ed Borror was also a state
champion in two states, with
two titles in Kansas and one in
Oklahoma.
Larry Thompson was also a
state champion in Colorado,
while Dan Boardman was an
Illinois state champ. Finally, Kyle
Jenson and Mark Monford were
state champions from the same
town as the Scheer twins
Mobridge, S. D.
Other recruits, vho all nar
rowly missed state titles, are
Terry Cook of Spencer, Iowa,
Mike Balestrini of Sunbury, Pa.,
John Myers of Eagle Grove, Iowa,
and David Harris of Oklahoma.
In addition to the recruits,
Fehrs said the team will hold
tryouts for anyone interested,
providing the wrestling office is
contacted before Aug. 27.
"We don't cut anybody," Fehrs
said. "Usually, people cut them
selves after they see all the work
involved."
