Not all
wine
coolers
are
0even
Stevens.
His name appears on everything
from golf clubs to Broadway marquees.
So when you see Dewey Stevens, on
wine cooler, you know it’ll be
refreshingly different. Not too sweet.
Or citrusy. Nor overloaded with calories.
But with the great taste of passion fruit
and one-third less calories than most
regular wine coolers. That’s why, when
it comes to wine coolers, Dewey Stevens
has no equal.
Vi less calories.
Vi more fun.

Missouri picks the bone
Tigers to experiment with new flexible offense this weekend
By Chuck Green
Senior Editor
After posting a 4-18 record over the
last two seasons, Missouri coach Woody
Widenhofer had a bone to pick with his
team.
Missouri preview
Actualy, he’s already picked the
bone — the flexbone, to be exact.
This season, Missouri will switch to
the flexbone offenses — triple-option
offense similar to the wishbone. Mis
souri’s flexbone, which utilizes the
passing game more than the wishbone,
wil debut its new-found weapons Sat
urday against Baylor.
Widenhofer, who served as an assist
ant coach with the National Football
League’s Pittsburgh Steelers during
their Super bowl years in the 1970s,
said the new offense will showcase the
athletic ability of the Tiger running
backs.
“The key to this offense is the half
backs, because they must run, block
and catch the ball to make it all effec
tive,” Widenhofer said. “I feel good
about our running backs. They’re good
receivers, which will enable us to
switch into different sets to pass with
out tipping off the defense by sub
stituting.
“Running back and the defensive
secondary are the strongest points of
our football team.”
Halfback Darrell Wallace will lead
the Missouri rushing attack, Widen
hofer said. Wallace, a 5-foot-7, 162
pound senior from Fort Campbell, Ky.,
rushed for 1,120 yards two years ago as
a sophomore and added 872 last sea
son. Wallace needs only 303 yards to
become Missouri’s all-time leading
rusher.
Backing up Wallace at the left half
back spot will be Tony VanZant, Parade
Magazine’s High School Player of the
Year in 1985. VanZant redshirted last
season because of a knee injury and will
be a freshman this season.
Robert Delpino returns to his start
ing spot in the backfield, at the right
halfback spot. Mike Logan and Sean
Moore, both freshmen, will challenge
Delpino for starting honors.
Widenhofer said Tommy Stowers is
the likely candidate for the fullback
position. Stowers averaged 4.7 yards
per carry during last season as a
reserve.
The ignition switch of the new flex
bone, Widenhofer said, is quarterback
Ronnie Cameron. Last season, Cameron
passed for 654 yards and six touch
downs and rushed for 365 yards and
four touchdowns. During Missouri’s
‘The key to this
offense is the
halfbacks,
because they must
run, block and
catch the ball to
make it all
effective.’
—Widenhofer
spring practice, Cameron broke a rib
and missed about half of the spring
drills.
Widenhofer said that Cameron “needs
to protect himself more if he’s going to
be effective for us.”
If Cameron isn’t effective for Mis
souri, Southern Methodist transfer John
Stollenwreck will take over, Widen
hofer said.
Missouri’s offensive line returns only
one starter from last season. Jeff Rig
man, a 6-2,277-pound senior, returns to
his left guard position. He will be
backed up by Rob Dryden, a 6-9, 339
pound freshman.
The left tackle spot w’M likely be
manned by Carl Bax, a 6 , 270 pound
junior, while the right side will have
the benefit of senior Phil Schreiber, a
three-year letterman, Widenhofer said.
At right guard, sophomore Pete Scot
and Chris Lowe will compete for play
ing time, while Curtis Wilson and Jeff
Gardener will vie for starting honors at
center.
When the Tigers decide to throw the
ball out of their new offensive set, the
primary receivers will be tight end Tim
Burton and split end Craig Lammers.
Missouri will also adopt a different
look defensively, changing to a 4-3
alignment. Tiger defensive coordinator
Carl Reese said this was done to
enhance Missouri’s pass rush efforts.
Steve Vandergrift, who started at
outside linebacker the last two sea
sons, has been converted to an end. The
other end spot wiil be filled by either
Ben Corl or Bryan Johnson. Darryl
Darling and Jeff Cross both return from
starting campaigns last season.
The only returning starter in the
Tiger’s linebacker corps is Darren Mac
Donald. The other two linebacking
positions will likely be filled by Jerold
Fletcher and Reggie Ballard, Widen
hofer said.
Missouri returns all four starters
from last year’s secondary. Incumbent
starters Adrian Jones and Pat Ray will
fill the comers while Erik McMillen
and Victor Moore will return to their
starting spots at strong safety and free
safety, respectively.
Senior Tom Whelihan will handle
both the placekicking and punting
chores for Missouri. Last year, Wheli
han connected on 15 of 19 field goal
attempts, including a Big Eight record
62 yarder against Colorado.
Huskers downplay Penn State rivalry
By Mark Derowitsch
Senior Reporter
Revenge will not be a factor when
No. 7 Nebraska meets Penn State Sat
urday night in the Husker/Mizunc
Invitational.
Nebraska coach Terry Pettil and
Penn State coach Russ Rose said the>
are not thinking about last year’s game
The Cornhuskers defeated the Nittan)
Lions 7-15,15-4,16-14,16-18,15-9 in the
NCAA Mideast regional semifinals last
season.
“As far as the coaching staff is con
cerned, I don’t think we look at it that
way," Pettit said. “From our stand
point, we’re just happy to be playing a
good volleyball team. Certainly there
has to be some rivalry there in that our
players know that they’re good and that
they’ve been in the NCAA tournament.”
Rose said he agrees.
“1 don’t think that we are safe with
any team," Rose said. "And with my top
player out with mono, in all reality this
is the weakest team I’ve had to face
Nebraska."
Rose said that Elizabeth Ramirez, a
sophomore who was named Rookie of
the Year in the Atlantic 10 Conference
last year, would not see action until
mid-October because of her illness.
Rose, a former Nebraska assistant
coach, said Ramirez’s injury puts Penn
State in a bind because the Nittany
Lions how have no team leader.
“Volleyball is the ultimate team
sport, and team chemistry is just as
important an aspect of the game as
physical talent," Rose said. “This team
does not have great chemistry. We have
three freshmen in the starting lineup
and there is a world of difference
between high-school volleyball and col
lege volleyball."
Pettit said he has been pleased with
the chemistry the Huskers have shown
this season.
“1 think we’re right where we want
to be,” Pettit said. “We have come
along and we are doing some good
things."
Despite Nebraska's 3-0 record, Pet
tit said the Penn State match would be
the Huskers' toughest of the season.
Nebraska will face Minnesota Friday
night at 7:30 and Central Michigan
Saturday at 1 p.m.
"These are the best teams we have
played all year," Pettit said. "We would
always rather play stronger teams than
weak teams. And two of these teams
are ranked in the Top 20, so that’s good
for us.”
Penn State was ranked 19th and
Minnesota 20th by the American Vol
leyball Coaches Association pre-season
poll.
Pettit said he thinks the Huskers
can win the tournament.
“I don't think we’ve ever gone out
since I’ve been here where we didn’t
feel that we could win the match,"
Pettit said.
Rose said that Minnesota has the
best chance to beat Nebraska.
"I think Nebraska is the team to
beat, but I think that they might be
worried about Minnesota,” Rose said.
The Gophers have a 7-0 record and
won the Florida State Tournament
championship without losing a set.
"We had a good Florida trip," Min
nesota coach Stephanie Schleuder said.
"It was a good tuneup for this weekend.
Competition-wise, it wasn’t extremely
tough, but it was a good tournament for
us."
Schleuder said she is glad to have
the chance to play the Huskers.
"We’re real excited about playing
the top teams in the field," Schleuder
said. "Nebraska is one of the best
teams and they are coming off a banner
year. Even though they lost all those
great players, Terry always seems to
put together a strong team."
