"Tim anniversary is our way of sating, 'Thanks for your patronage
during the past 8 years, tie really appreciate your support.' "
After Friday night's competition in
the NCAA men's gymnastics champion
ship Coach Francis Allen said he had
no complaints about the judges. By
Saturday afternoon he had changed his
mind.
A controversy over the scoring kept
the team championship in doubt for
almost 45 minutes Saturday afternoon,
but when the smoke finally cleared,
Arizona State had edged Nebraska
283.90 to 283.60. Stanford finished
third with 279.50.
Arizona State's marginal victory was
the result of Nebraska's penalty of
three-tenths of one point for making
too many inquiries about the scoring.
NCAA rules, which took effect for
the first time this year, let coaches
protest up to three decisions by the
judges. After that, a team is penalized
three-tenths of a point every inquiry
they make that isn't upheld.
Nebraska's first inquiry came early
in the meet on a parallel bars score.
That protest was denied.
The Cornhuskers later protested high
bar scores recorded by Terry Gillespie,
Kevin Davis and Tom Schlesinger. All
the protests involved a "D"-move,
which is the difficulty of a move re
quired in the routine.
Allen said the high bar judge origi
nally said the "D"-move being dis
cussed didn't exist.
"We had to get a rule book to show
them the move was there," Allen said.
"Whoever was doing high bar didn't
know what he was doing."
The judges actually upheld the in
quiry on Davis' score, but disallowed
the other two protests.
Because of the similarity in t he three
routines, Allen said he thought they
would all be approved if one was.
The controversy overshadowed one
of the most exciting championship
meets in recent years.
Going into the final rotation, Ne
braska had what looked like an insur
mountable lead of 1.45. But Arizona
State was spectacular on the high bar,
accumulating a score of 48.15, includ
ing scores of 9.8 and 9.9 by twins Den
nis and Dan Hayden.
Allen said it was disappointing to
finish second for the second consecu
tive year.
"It's a fact," he said, "but we're still
able to put pressure on them. It's bet
ter than finishing third."
Allen said some changes would be
made the next time the meet is held in
Lincoln.
"Next time we're going to sell some
thing round and hard to throw at the
judges," he said.
"Like oranges?" someone asked.
"No, they're not hard enough," Allen
replied.
Meanwhile, Nebraska got 46.60 on
the vault.
"I thought we had the meet, going
into the vault," Allen said. "I thought
all we needed was to have five guys
land on their feet. Who cares about the
sixth?"
Five Huskers did land on their feet
but the sixth Wes Suter didn't. He
stumbled on his landing and scored
8.95.
Arizona State coach Don Robinson
said his team pointed for the cham
pionship all season.
"We trained for this meet," he said.
"When we thought we were in a lot of
trouble we still kept our enthusiasm.
We never gave up."
Robinson said it probably was an
advantage for his team to be on the
high bar going into the last rotation.
"We're excellent performers on the
high bar," he said. "It gave us confi
dence." -
Robinson said Dan Hayden, who uses
a somersault catch in his high bar rou
tine, is the only gymnast in the world
who uses it.
First Husker spring scrimmage
'good and bad,' Osborne says
By Chuck Green
Senior Reporter
Coach Tom Osborne described Ne
braska's first major spring football
scrimmage Saturday as "good and bad."
"It was the usual kind of deal,"
Osborne said of the scrimmage. "There
was some good and bad. I think the
effort was good. Offensively, we moved
the ball-at times and at other times we
didn't. It wasn't either the offense or
the defense that was clearly dominant."
Osborne said he was pleased with
the team's effort, considering the Corn
huskers have practiced for only one
week.
The Huskers worked heavily Satur
day on the passing game, one of their
main improvement goals this spring.
Husker quarterbacks threw 24 times in
the scrimmage, completing nine passes
for 127 yards. Two passes, however,
were intercepted by Husker defensive
backs.
Steve Taylor, who will be a sopho
more in the fall, completed three of
nine passes for 29 yards. He led all
rushers with 59 yards on seven carries.
McCathorn Clayton, last season's
starting quarterback, completed one of
five passes for 39 yards and threw one
interception. Clayton, who will be a
junior, rushed 10 times for 32 yards
Saturday.
Clete Blakeman, the second-team
quarterback, completed three passes
for 38 yards and had one pass inter-
"IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO ME TO HAVE
Y CONTACT LENSES FITTED PROPERLY.
M
Like most people, I'm on the go alot. I tried contact lenses a
few years ago and was never really happy. Wearing contacts
helped my vision but they became a hassle because of the mild
discomfort and occasional fuzzy vision.
I asked several of my friends who wear contacts to recom
mend a specialist, and moM of them recommended Dr. Powell
at the International Contact Lens Clinic
I went to their clinic for a no charge consultation to talk about
new contact lenses. Their office offers complete contact lens services
and complete optical services including:
thorough examination, individual fitting, and close supervision
curbside parking, convenient central Lincoln location
appointments available lunch hours, and Saturdays
eight weejc trial program for
close observation of comfort and eye health
lens strength or fitting modification if indicated
no charge for damaged lenses
spare glasses, sunglasses and special solutions for sensitive eyes
a continuing care program future upgrading of contact
lenses as scientific progress is made.
I decided to have them fit my eyes.and I was very comfortable with
their professional approach, their fees, and their thoroughness.
Everyone in their office helped me become a successful wearer. I
consider their office outstanding, and I recommend them to all my
friends.

Osborne said the Huskers' defensive
secondary showed "more aggressive
ness" in the scrimmage than it had
earlier in the week.
"Some guys came up hitting pretty
well," he said. "(Dante) Wiley looks
like he might be a factor back there. He
made some mistakes, but he has the
ability to come up and make the tackle, .
and we're really looking for guys who
can make things happen."
Wiley, a safety in his first season at
Nebraska after transfering from Pitts
burgh, has opened coaches' eyes after
only six days of spring practice includ
ing the eyes of Charlie McBride, Nebras
ka's defensive coordinator.
"He missed some check calls in the
secondary and cost us three big plays
today," McBride said of Wiley. "It's bad
that he missed those check calls in the
secondary, but it's good that he sees
them. Those are things that he won't do
again."
The top units scored three touch
downs and two field goals during the
first half of the scrimmage. Fullback
Sam Schmidt scored on a 36-yard run,
while Dave Clare scored on runs of 1
and 5 yards.
Schmidt finished the scrimmage with
57 yards on six carries. Clare produced
31 yards on seven carries.
The field goals were by Dale Klein
from 28 yards and Chris Drennan from
34 yards. Klein, who missed a 46-yard
attempt, also kicked two extra points.
Craig Schnitzler also kicked an extra
point.
The most negative aspect of Satur
day's scrimmage was the injury list
growing longer.
"You expect this situation when
you've been practicing at it three or
four weeks," Osborne said, "but we've
only had five practices, and we've
already got an awful lot of people
injured."
John Custard, a defensive back, dis
located a shoulder and Tye Doll, a def
ensive tackle, injured his right knee.
Others added to the injury list: Davis
(bruised quadriceps), linebackers
Steve Forch (knee) and Kevin Parsons
(hamstring), split end Robb Schnitzler
(groin) and offensive tackle Tom Wel
ter (shin).

it works...
