Nebraska Is providing that foot
ball i3 not the only collegiate
sport where strength training
plays an Important role. Nebraska
strength coach Boyd Epply is ex
panding NU's computerized
strength program in an attempt
to bolster training for non-gridiron
athletics.
Epply uses the strength com
plex's computer to develop indi
vidual routines for the football
players.
The expansion of the system
will require two computers. One
unit will be shared by volleyball,
Softball and baseball athletes. The
second computer will cater to the
sports that train at the Bob Dev
Sports Center.
Epply already has the software
programs for the sports, but needs
to raise the funds to cover the
$2,000 price tags on each of the
computers.
Raising the funds has been a
tedious process for Epply.
"It's been difficult, but we wont
give up," Epply said.
Epply said Nebraska is the first
university to develop a compu
terized training program.
"The other schools are still try
ing to catch up with us," Epply
said.
Husker wrestling coach Bob
Fehrs said the computers "would
definitely be an advantage.

of Kansas, while the men's varsity

Despite a lack of money, the
UNL water polo club keeps get
ting better, player-coach Mike
Morosin said Monday.
The Cornhusker won two of
three games against a team from
Raytown, Mo., Saturday. Nebraska
won the first two contests by
scores of 1 1 -6 and 1 5-6. The teams
tied 7-7 in the final encounter.
"I put in less experienced play
ers as we went along, and I think
the team did very well overall,"
Morosin said.
A year ago, Morosin didnt have
the luxury of playing less expe
rienced players. He barely had
enough players to field a team.
The water polo club, now in its
third season, got a big boost last
year, when Morosin scheduled a
game with Air Force, the nation's
sixth-ranked polo club.
"We played them with three
overall training. It plays an im-
portant role in all sports," Fehrs
said.
Fehrs said many coache3 get
carried away with strength train-
ing and ignore other important
aspects of their sport.
"We try to keep it in perspec-
tive," Fehrs said. "We consider it

Kansas has dominated the Big
Eight for the last four years.
Nebraska coach Chip Purdom
said he was encouraged by the
results, and is looking toward
next Sunday's homecoming regat
ta with increasing confidence.
The Husker novice men's four
and varsity women's four have
npt been beaten in four races this
fall, giving them momentum as
they train for homecoming.
Wins are something Husker
crews have always talked of but
haven't been able to deliver for a
long time.
In 1980, the crew rowed into
rough water, after a decade of
successes including eight Big
Eight championships and a fifth-
college and three high school
players and myself," the 36-year-old
Morosin said.
That just made enough for a
team, and the Huskers gave it a
try against the fly boys.
Air Force won the first game
14-2, but Morosin changed the
Huskers' defensive strategy in the
second game. Nebraska lost 7-2,
but gained the respect of the Air
Force players, Morosin said.
They came up after the game
and told us they had beaten many
college teams a lot worse than
they beat us," he said.
As a result of the Air Force
game, Nebraska gained a reputa
tion in water polo circles, Morosin
said.
"Teams are calling us up and
wanting to play us now," he said.
"They know there's a team out
here that can play."
The Huskers received an invi
tation to play in the Senior Indoor
Nationals, scheduled for Novera-

an important part of training,
but we stress work on technique
and mental preparation, too."
Nebraska women's basketball
coach Kelly Hill said the compu-
ter will be advantageous "if we get
to use it."
Hill agreed with Fehrs that
strength training plays an impor
place national ranking in 1974.
Team membership flagged in 1982
from 60 to 8 members and is just
beginning to rebound this year.
Separately, the men's varsity
four placed 19th out of 30 boats
in the men's open lightweight
event at the Head-of-the-Charles
Regatta in Boston. Competing
against the likes of Harvard, Yale
and the U.S. Olympic team, the
Huskers finished the 3 Vfc-mile race
in 17:30, 1:25 off the winning time
of 16:05 posted by the U.S. light
weights. Purdom said the team looked
good in practice, but apparently
"choked" under the pressure of
the race. Varsity Captain Steve

ber in Indianapolis. Morosin said
that's an honor, since only about
20 teams are invited each year.
There are 245 registered polo
clubs in the United States.
Morosin said his team probably
won't be able to accept the invita
tion because of a lack of money.
"If we had the money, we would
go," he said. "We have the talent
to compete, and it would be a
learning situation."
The team received $250 for
travel expenses for Nebraska
athletic boosters this year,
Morosin said, but that won't take
the team very far. The coach said
the team is planning to teach
scuba lessons to raise money for
road trips.
The Nebraska team hopes to
play Minnesota, Air Force and
Loyola of Chicago l ater this year,
he said. If the fund-raising efforts
succeed, the Huskers will take a
summer trip to California or
Hawaii, he said.

stopping the boat as surely as an
anchor would. Throughout the
race, Purdom said, the team had
trouble moving together, a deadly
mistake in the precision sport of
rowing.
Next Sunday, the Huskers will
host Iowa, Kansas, Creighton,
Washburn, Minnesota, Wichita
State, the Waterloo Rowing Asso
ciation and the Tulsa Rowing As
sociation in Nebraska's first home
regatta in five years. The event,
open to the public, will be held at
Capitol Beach Lake, 720 Lake
shore Drive, Oct. 28 from 10 a.m.
to 4 p.m. Olympic rower Lisa
Rohde, a Nebraska alum, will
present awards to winning crews.
The team's depth and talent
have improved a lot since last
year, the coach said. Twelve men
and three women, including some
former UNL swim-team members,
play for the Huskers. Morosin
said he welcomes anyone inter
ested to come out and give the
sport a try. The team practices in
the UNL Coliseum.
"Our door is never closed," he
said. "If they enjoy swimming,
they should try water polo. It's
very good aerobic exercise."
It's also a rugged sport that
takes years to learn, Morosin said.
Games consist of four seven-minute
quarters. Players tread water
throughout most of the game.
While they're swimming or tread
ing water, they must be able to
handle the ball, dribble, pass and
avoid opposing players.
Fouls are common, and players
arent always gentis, Morosin said.
"The only thing sacred is the
head," he said. "A lot of pushing
goes on under the water."

Hill's team works on the weights
during the summer and pre
season. Once basketball season
begins, the team's workouts
change.
During the pre-season and sum
mer conditioning programs, we
lift for strength. It's a real defi
ciency when the players first
arrive," Hill said. "Later in the
season, we concentrate more on
circuit training than strength."
Strength training and weight
training are often mentioned in
the same breath. According to
Epply, the two have little in com
mon. Epply said weight training b
more of general fitness which
stresses muscle toning.
"Strength training takes a much
more sophisticated approach,"
Epply said. "It improves agility,
speed and power.
"Athletes are in a very serious
situation," Epply said. "They use
the strength training programs
to improve performance."
Game rescheduled
because of injuries
The Nebraska freshman foot
ball game scheduled for Friday
afternoon has been cancelled; but
a second game with William
Jewell College has been scheduled
for Monday afternoon.
The Husker freshmen, who lost
last Friday to Waldorf Junior Col-:
lege, were to play Kansas State
Friday at 1:30 p.m. However,
Wildcat coach Jim Dickey can
celled the game since varsity in
juries have forced many of the
freshman players onto the team
that will face the varsity Huskers
Saturday.
