Nebraska drew the first and
last blood in their wrestling match
Monday against third-ranked Okla
homa in Norman. Plus, a fresh
man came from behind in the
closing seconds to win another
match.
In the meantime, though, the
Sooners won seven matches, one
by a pin, and easily won the dual
30-9. It dropped Nebraska to a
1-1 dual record for the season,
with another bid conference op
ponent, fifth-ranked Iowa State,
scheduled Friday.
Still, the Huskers didnt leave
Norman with dashed hopes. In
stead, coach Bob Fehrs said there
were plenty of good things about
the Sooner dual
"We knew going into the season
that we were going to be out
manned," the sixth-year Husker
coach said. "We took six fresh
men down there, and you don't
take six freshman up against the
third-ranked team in the country
and expect to beat them. What
we were looking for was individ
ual improvement. We wanted this
match, and Friday's match, to
show our people what top-notch
competition looked like, and to
see those areas we needed to put
emphasis on."
The number one area to build
on is confidence, Fehrs said. Even
against 'wrestlers ranked among
the nation's top five, Fehrs said, it
is important that the athletes
realized they really aren't that far
behind.
"Even if you lose, you can do
some individual maneuvers that
work," Fehrs said. "It can make
you realize you're not far behind
this person that beat you, and
with a little work and stronger
concentration you can catch up
to that person."
Nebraska's victories came from
one expected source, heavyweight
Gary Albright, and Wallace Daw
kins, a sophomore who subbed
for Matt Campbell at 118.
Campbell and several other Hus
kers were hit with the flu before
the trip, Fehrs said.
Nebraska's other victory came
at 126, where freshman Terry
Cook scored a takedown on Tim
Stingily in the last seconds to win
8-7.
Fehrs used Cook as an exam
ple of what matches against top
competition could teach his fresh

Opening night for the Husker
men's basketball team drew mixed
reviews for three newcomers to
the Nebraska stage.
Receiving rave reviews was
Harvey Marshall Marshall poured
in 20 points in the Huskers' 117
49 rout of the outmanned Wind
sor Basketball Club. The 1 17 points
was an unofficial school record.
Marshall made 53 percent of
his long-distance shots (8 of 15),
and the 6-3 guard said he felt
"right at home" before the Bob
Devaney Sports Center crowd of
7,547.
"I just wanted to play in front
of a crowd," said Marshall. "I
wasn't nervous at all. I thought I
would be."
One who did experience the jit
ters was Bill Jackman. Jackman
seemed to be pressing to please
the home folks in his first game as
a Husker after transfering from
Duke. '

game," Jackman said, "but I think
