I Nebraska's men's and women's cross
'country teams open their 1985 season
Saturday with the Husker Invitational.
I coach Jay Dirksen is looking toward
: the meet with uncertainty.
I 'l really don't know what to expect,"
Dirksen said. 'We're in real good condi
tioning shape, but not in good racing
f chape. We have run a lot of miles, but
we haven t done mucn speea worK.
Another problem for both teams: the
loss of key runners. One of the top
runners on the men's team, sophomore
Jean Verster, is being held out of the
meet by Dirksen.
"We're not going to run Jean," Dirksen
said. "He's run a lot this last month in
South Africa, and I figure he needs a

THE COLLEGES
In Lincoln, where temperatures on
the field reached 120 degrees, it was so
hot that Comhusker Tom Rathman
walked 60 yards for one touchdown.
It wasn't enough, though. Florida
State trudged back for a 17-13 win, and
the once-powerful Cornhuskers fell into
a first place tie in the Bottom Ten with
equally lowly Georgia. (The Bottom Ten
pollsters obtained Nebraska from the
Top Ten in exchange for Oregon State
and a school to be name later.)

Meanwhile, Illinois, picked No. 1 in
TV Guide's preseason poll, now appears
in danger of being canceled after its
first episode a 10-20, four-interception
loss to USC. Or perhaps the No. 6 Illini
will be taken off the air and put on a
shelf until next spring when they
appear in a new format.

Auburn Coach Pat Dye says it's
"nice to be No. 1, but I'm more con
cerned with facing the No. 1 defense in
the nation this weekend."
Having supplanted idle Oklahoma as
the No. 1 team in the Associated Press
poll this week by crushing Southwest
ern Louisiana 49-7, Auburn next enter
tains Southern Mississippi. The Golden
Eagles surrendered only 138 yards in
defeating Louisiana Tech 28-0
On the other hand, Auburn's Bo
Jackson rushed for 290 yards and scored
four touchdowns from the Tigers' new
I-formation, but USM's defense figures
to be a little more resistant than USL's.
Auburn is a 21-point favorite and the
pick is Auburn, 34-10.
Last week's score was 26 right, 11
wrong and one tie for a percentage of
703. Against the line, however, the
count even with a successful Upset
Special of Florida State over Nebraska
was only 8-12 .400. For the sea
son, the respective scores are 34-14-1
-.708 and 13-16-0 .448.
Rutgers at No. 3 Florida (favored by

49-7.

week off."
Meanwhile, the women's team will
be without junior Carol Nunally, who
has been bothered all summer by a foot
injury, Dirksen said.
Aside from Verster and Doug Masher,
a transfer from UNO, all members of the
men's squad will run in th meet,
Dirksen said
"Some of the runners are competing
unattached," he said. "We are unsure
who we are going to redshirt yet."
Members running unattached are
Frank Graham, Harold Graham, Scott
Hollestelle and Leon Havenga. Dirksen
said Havenga is running unattached
because he has not been declared elig
ible by the NCAA yet.
Bryan Clark, Kyle Foster, Kirk Gott
schalk, Mike Herrell, Keith Lein, Gerard
O'Callaghan, Don Pobanz and Kraig
Vanderbeek will represent Nebraska in
the Bottom Ten

loser under new coach Howard Schnel

year.

Without Verster and Havenga, Dirksen
said he is unsure of how well the team
can do.
"Without Verster, I don't know if we
can beat Kansas State," he said. "It's
kind of doubtful. Without Havenga, we
are without two of our top five runners."
Aside from Kansas State and Neb
raska, Dirksen said South Dakota State
could challenge for the lead.
"They have a real good runner in
Rodney Dehaven," Dirksen said.
Dirksen expects a tough battle among
the women's field.
"There is a real strong women's
field," Dirksen said. "We should do
pretty good, and Kansas State, South
Dakota State and Minnesota all have
good teams."

THE PROS
Using underwater television came
ras and sophisticated sonar devices,
divers located the wreckage of the
Indianapolis Dolts on Tuesday. But
members of the Dolt Historical Society
declared that nothing appears salvage
able, with the exception of one or two
rusted linemen.
The Dolts, once a great football team
known as the Baltimore Colts, were
sunk by poor front-office leadership.
Recently, they were the subject of a
best-selling novel, "Raise the Dolts!"
On land, meanwhile, fans in Cincin
nati began chanting "Pete! Pete!" dur
ing the Bengals-Seahawks game. But
they were too late. Running back Pete
Johnson was no longer available, hav
ing been dumped by the Bengals years
ago, and No. 6 Cincinnati went down to
defeat 24-28.

Dave Wilson, who had asked to be
