Wherever heavyweight grappler Gary
Albright goes, so goes the Nebraska wres
tling team.
The Huskers trailed an upset-minded
UNO squad 16-15 heading into the final
match of the evening.
Albright, a junior from Billings, Mont.,
claimed a 5-0 decision over UNO fresh
man Jeff Weeks to give the Huskers an
18-16 dual victory.
Nebraska head coach Bob Fehrs said
he was concerned as the final match
started.
"Obviously every time you go into the
final match with a mathematical chance
of losing, you're going to be concerned,"
Fehrs said. "I was even more concerned
since Gary hadnt wrestled in ten days."
Albright missed the first meet of the
year, the Bison Open, because of a death
in the family.
"I knew I wasnt going to lose," Albright
said. "I was thinking about how bad I was
going to beat him."
Despite winning with relative ease,
Albright said Weeks wasnt a pushover.
"He was strong," Albright said. "He used
his upper body very well, but the UNO
coaches kept telling him to stay away
from the upper body. He didn't use it to
his advantage."
Junior Matt Campbell started the
Huskersoffontheriglrtfootwithasuperior
decision victory over Maverick Mark Wes
ton in the 118 pound division.
Weston, a senior, was a Division II Ail
American last year.
Terry Cook and Mike Monfore, two of
six freshmen on Nebraska's varsity squad,
claimed decisions in the 126 and 134 div
isions respectively.
The Mavericks battled back, though,
winning the 142, 150, and 158 pound
classes to pull within two team points,
11-9
Freshman Dan Boardman put the
Huskers back on track, with a 12-2 deci
sion over Jeff Randall at 167.
UNO came back once again, with deci
sions in the 177 and 190 pound classes to
take the lead, 16-15.
Doug Hassel's 7-5 victory over junior
Kyle Jensen set the stage for Albright's
heroics.
Last year, the Huskers manhandled the
Mavericks, 30-10. Fehrs said the turn
around this year can be attributed to an
inexperienced Husker squad and a much
improved Maverick team.
"It's a combination of both of those fac
tors," Fehrs said. "UNO has a very good
team. They have four seniors so they had
the advantage of physical maturity."
"Our inexperience showed tonight."
Fehrs said.
Albright, the NCAA runnerup in the
heavyweight division last year, doesn't
deny the fact that he is the leading con
tender for the title this year, but added
that he has other objectives for this
season.
"My main goal is to win the NCAA's,"
Albright said. "But we have a lot of young
guys on this team and they need help too.
I want Nebraska to have a good team a
few years down the road."
Nebraska will face the Mavs again this
weekend, when they travel to Omaha for
th UNO open.
"That meet's going to be an eye-opener,
Fehrs said. "Iowa State and Oklahoma
State are going to be there, and they're
both ranked among the top five teams in
the nation."
Huskers net academic honors
The Nebraska women's volleyball team,
10-0 in the Big Eight conference this sea
son, placed four players on the confer
ence's first team and one on the second

Montgomery, Missouri's Dianne Berg and
Omaha native Beth Vivian of Kansas were

onfire, pep rally
chedule
By Janet Stefansld
Daily Nebraskan Staff Reporter
A new tradition will be "un
veiled" at Friday's scheduled
bonfire and pep rally, said
Shari Lewis, Tassels commit
tee chairwoman.
Tassels and Sigma Alpha Mu
fraternity will host the events
to get students "rooting, rant
ing and raving" for Saturday's
Nebraska-Oklahoma game, said
Ricky Harris, an organizer of
events. Lewis said a surprise
will be unveiled.
The bonfire begins at 7 p.m.
at the fraternity, 733 N. 16th
St. The pep rally starts at 8:15
p.m. in front of the East Sta
dium. A police escort will ac
company those present to the
stadium, Harris said.
Lewis said people attending
the night's activities should
bring flashlights.
Radio station KFRX is spon
soring the activities. Program
director Tracy Johnson will be
master of ceremonies. Lincoln
mayor Roland Luedtke is ex
pected to attend
Harris said Boyd Epley, UNL
strength and conditioning coach,
will speak at the pep rally and
20 members ofUNL's band will
perform.
A skit contest will take place
at the bonfire, and prizes will
be awarded at the pep rally,
Lewis said. Today is the second
day for contest qualifying
rounds. They will be from 2 to
5 p.m. at the Nebraska Union.
Harris said a mock bonfire
will be set up because of clean
air and pollution laws. He said
fraternity members will display
lighted candles in their rooms
until the game's finish in con
junction with the theme,
"Flames will fly 'til Sooners die."
Tassels, whose 25 members
sell balloons at Husker home
football games, is celebrating
its 60th anniversary, while the
fraternity is celebrating its 75th.
Lewis said Tassels promotes
spirit among the university
population.
We try to support more than
just the football team," Lewis
said.
While no specific plans have
been completed, she said, the
group will do something in
conjunction with spring sports.
Harris said the bonfire event
was an annual Sigma Alpha
Mu activity throughout the '60s
and 70s. He said he would like
it to become an annual event
again.
Lewis said planning Friday's
events with the fraternity was
' a mutual helping experience.
"It's nice getting outside help
and ideas," she said.
This is the first time Tassels
worked with a Greek house.
Harris said his house has done
things with non-Greek groups
previously.
"We do it to show that Greeks
and non-Greeks can get along,"
he said.

This just hasn't been Colum
bia's decade. The toothless Lions
have won five of their last 67
games.
Of course, all their fumbles and
mistackles this season will be
wasted if they should suffer a vic
tory against Brown (3-5) in their
finale Saturday. Indiana also has
its swoon song Saturday against
Purdue (6-4). It's a must-lose
game for the Hoosiers, but then
they seem to be a cant-win team.
Meanwhile, searchers were still
looking for the black box contain
ing the half-time speech made by
Miami Coach Jimmy Johnson
while his team was leading Mary

AWARD FOU THE BOTTOM
TEN: Coach Ted Toliner ofUSC, a
Bottom Ten fixture last season
and a Rose Bowl participant this
season: "I guess you've got to go
through the bottom end to get to
the top." (You're welcome, coach.)
THE PROS
Just when the NFL seemed to
be achieving parody with a cou
ple ofhiiarious imitations of foot
ball teams, previously winless
Houston had to ruin everything
by knocking off Kansas City, 17-16.
But there's oill Buffalo (0-11),
which has been losing with more
intensity as the season wears
on...and on. With 13 disappoint
ments in a row, the Bills have
reached the halfway point in their
quest for the record held by
Tampa Bay.
Apparently still resentful of the
publicity that Buffalo is receiving,
Tampa Bay's 1976 team (0-14)
abandoned plans to come out of
retirement, but challenged the
Bills to a foot race to see who
could finish last in the 100-yard-stagger.
Elsewhere, the Vikings' 17-45
loss to Green Bay, following the
Gophers' 7-31 loss to Michigan,
completed the losingest week of
all time for Minnesotans.
