Osborne concerned about Jayhawks' momentum
By Jim Rasmussen
DtJIy Nebr&sktn Senior Reporter
Nebraska football coach Tom
Osborne said Monday he sees def
inite parallels between this week's
opponent, the Kansas Jayhawks,
and last week's foe, the Iowa
State Cyclones.
Nebraska pounded Iowa State
44-0 Saturday, so that might not
be good news for Jayhawk fans.
But Osborne wasn't being de
rogatory. The Jayhawks "appear to be
playing their best football of the
season," Osborne said at the
weekly Extra Point Club luncheon.
The same could be said of Iowa
, State a week ago. The Cyclones
J were coming off a 14-14 tie with
Missouri and a 1 2-10 loss to Okla
homa. Kansas has moved into fourth
place in the Big Eight with a 23
1 1 upset of Oklahoma and last
week's 28-27 win at Colorado.
Osborne said he's concerned
about the Jayhawks after viewing
films of their win against the
Sooners.
"Lots of people dismiss their
win over Oklahoma as a fluke,
Osborne said. "But when you look
at the film, it was 23-3 until the
last play of the ballgame, and
Oklahoma really didnt generate
much offense to speak ot
The Jayhawks' win against Col
orado also was impressive, the
coach said. Kansas trailed 2716
going into the fourth quarter, but
pulled out a 28-27 victory.
"I hope people dont look down
their nose at their win over Colo
rado," Osborne said. "Colorado
played us tough, and they played
a great ballgame at Oklahoma
State."
Osborne said he's especially im
pressed with Kansas' skill players
on offense. The Jayhawks' tail
backs, Lynn Williams and Robert
Mimbs, are two of the best runners
the Huskers will face this year, he
said.
The Husker coach also praised
KU quarterback Mike Norseth, a
junior college transfer.
"Norseth has been throwing
well, and he's hard to sack,"
Osborne said.
Kansas has a young team. Ne

Basketball tickets available
Students may pick up season
basketball tickets between 9 a.m.
and noon and 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. at
the Athletic Ticket Office, South
Stadium 117.
The tickets will be available
until the season starts, but each
applicant should pick up the ticket
by Friday. A student identiSca-
tion card must be presented, and
each student must pick up his or
her own ticket.
The Husker season begins in
two weeks with an exhibition
against Windsor. The regular
season begins Nov. 29 against
Southern Colorado.
Downing, who scouted the Jay
hawks against Colorado, said KU
started only two seniors against
the Buffs. The lineup included 12
juniors, with the rest of the spots
filled by freshmen and sopho
mores. Downing said the KU offense
features a lot of speed. The Jay
hawk offensive line is young but is
playing well, he said.
Nebraska will take a fairly
healthy team to Lawrence. I -back
Paul Miles will "definitely" make
the trip to Kansas, Osborne said.
Miles has been out since ne suf
fered a shoulder separation in
the Syracuse game. Starting I
back Jeff Smith suffered a bruise
in his rib area against Iowa State,
and is still bothered by a sore
ankle, Osborne said.
"Jeff's still not able to cut and
accelerate the way he did,"
Osborne said.
Nebraska trainers have said
Smith probably will play against
Kansas.
Osborne said "10 or 12" fresh
men will Join the varsity for the
remainder of the season, and said
they may make the trip to a bowl
game. The rest of the freshman
team will begin winter condition
ing workouts.
Freshman I-back Keith Jones
may stay home this Saturday,
Osborne said, since Paul Miles ia
going to Kansas. Jones has rushed
for 170 yards this season, the
most by a freshman since Monte
Anthony ran for 651 in 1974.

Iweets continues dynasty
of intramural achievement
Ey Ward W. Triplctt III
Daily Nebraskan Senior Editor
Through the years, dynasties
have been known by such osten
tious names as Ming, Ottoman,
the Celtics and the Cornhuskers.
Then, along came the Sweets. ,
It doesnt quite have the gran
diose ring of a champion, but the
Sweets have started an impres
sive run on the available titles in
the UNL Recreation Department.
First, the 1983 snow softball title
fell Then, after a narrow call the
year before, the Sweets claimed
the all-university softball title last
Sunday.
The Sweets marched through
the fall season with an unblem
ished 11-0 record. They gave up
an average of three runs a game,
and the highest run production
against them in any game was
seven. That didnt matter since
the Sweets scored 19 runs of
their own that game.
"We really didnt get a stiff chal
lenge in the Independent A
league," Tejral said "Last year, we
were in the B league, and I felt the
competition was much tougher
there."
The Sweets formed from three
separate teams last season before
the men's softball season. A group
came from Abel Eight, another
from Delta Sigma Phi Tejral came
with the group from Theta XL It
was a sketchy group with an
unstable roster then, but as the
year went on, the organization
picked up members and wins in
domino fashion.
"Since we've been together, we're
25-1," Tejral said.
Aside from softbalL Sweets were
also undefeated in football until
Sunday, when it fielded teams in
each division. They plan to field
teams in basketball and co-rec
basketball and put individuals in
some other competitions. The ob
jective is the independent all
university title, traditionally
owned by the RecCrew and the
Holysmokers, both teams made
up mostly of campus recreation
staff members.
The success has attracted other
members as well At the start of
the season, 35 people were signed
up somewhere under the Sweets
title, the maximum allowed by
the recreation department
"We had to turn people away,"
said Terry Keene, another Sweets
original who came over with the
Abel Eight group. The attraction
and the success is partially due to
the fact that the Sweets take the
games seriously, Keene said.
"We all took softball pretty
seriously. We did play some peo
ple who didnt, who were just out
there for fun,' Keene said.
"But when you hit the playoff,
everybody out there h serious.
The ones who arent get put out
in the early rounds."
From that point on, the Sweets
had to depend on a better expe
rience than the competition could
afford. In the softball playoffs,
Keene said the Sweets had the
best defense, a rare commodity in
recreation sports. Plus, Tejral said,
most of the Sweets played some
kind of sports in high school, so
most do have good athletic back
grounds. The Sweets, who got their
harmless sounding nickname
from original member Chris
Sweetman, were knocked out of
last year's playoffs in the semi
finals. This season's goal in soft
ball was just to win the inde
pendent A league.
"We never expected to go this
far," Tejral said. "Next year though,
we probably will set our goals for
all-university."
Tejral said the Sweets will now
settle down and try to get as
many teams as possible through
the football playoKs. The Philis
tines dented that somewhat by
beating the BC team 38-32 Sun
day. But, the A team beat Harper
Seven 27-26, and the co-rec bas
ketball squad stomped the Ag
Men and Friends 3-52.
Even if the Sweets foil to win
the overall title this season, a
strong group of juniors and
sophomores should insure they'll
be back for a few more tries.
"Most of our teams are made
up of underclassmen," Tejral said.
"We're going to have seven or
eight guys back from our softball
teams. We should do all right
next year."
