Women’s basketball team
sets 9 NU strength records
By Steve Sipple
Staff Reporter
If the 1987-88 strength and agility
scores of the Nebraska women’s bas
ketball team are any indication,
Coach Angela Beck said, the Corn
huskers are in for a successful season.
The Huskers set records in all nine
strength and agility categories during
their annual prescason testing session
the last week of August.
Beck, who is entering her second
season at Nebraska, said the test re
sults are an excellent sign of what to
expect this season.
“I wouldn’t want any other sign,”
Beck said. “A lot of the time, you can
set the attitude and goals (during the
preseason). I didn’t have to set the
goals or attitude. I could tell right then
that we are wanting a Big Eight cham
pionship. We’re wanting more from
this season than a halfway run.”
Senior guard forward Maurtice Ivy
of Omaha led Nebraska by setting five
records. She had record-setting marks
of 8.4 seconds in the agility run, 24.5
inches in the vertical jump, 60.11
seconds in the 300-yard run, 72 sit-ups
and 55 push-ups.
“I thought she showed not only
leadership characteristics, but also
showed her athletic ability and set the
pace for everybody,” Beck said. “I
think she’ 11 be a big catalyst this year.”
Senior Heather Smith, a former
All-America high jumper who will
play forward for Nebraska, set two
records. She set two sprinting records
by covering the 10-yard dash in a time
of 1.66 and 30 yards in 3.87 seconds.
Sabrina Brooks, a transfer from
Moberly, Mo., Junior College, set a
preseason mark with 15 pull-ups, and
senior Stephanie Bolli of Burwcil set
the record in the seated shot put with
a toss of 18-3.
“Sabrina Brooks, I think, will sur
prise a lot of people,” Beck said.
“Amy Bullock (point guard) didn’t set
any records, but she will be a good
floor leader. She’s shown a lot of

spirit.”
Overall, the 14 players averaged 19
inches in the vertical jump, 15-11 in
the seated shot put, 1.96 seconds in the
10-yard dash, 4.5 seconds in the 30
yard dash, 64.45 seconds in the 300
yard run, 6.3 pull-ups, 55.9 sit-ups and
28.2 push-ups.
Beck said the off-season program
was the toughest she has been in
volvcd with during her eight-year
coaching career.
“It’s a very stringent program,” she
said. “Everyone feels they’re in the
best condition they’ve ever been in.
“It will help not only physically,
but also mei. tally.”
Beck also announced that Ivy,
Bolli and Amy Stephens have been
selected as tri-captains.
Red Cross team will be honored
during Cornhusker game Saturday
By Mike Kluck
Staff Reporter
When Nebraska plays South Caro
lina on Saturday, more than 60 volun
teer members of the Red Cross will
take to Memorial Stadium to chal
lenge health problems.
This will be a different Saturday,
though, because the Red Cross will be
honored before the game by First Aid
Team Appreciation Day.
Dave Norris, public relations di
rector for the Red Cross, said buckets
will be located throughout the sta
dium for donations to be made. He
said the donations help to recover
costs.
“The donations will be used for
recertification of the Red Cross vol
unteers,” Norris said. “It also helps us
pay for roller, Ace and gauze ban
dages.”
Norris said Red Cross officials are
hoping to raise more than $18,000
this year, an increase of $8,000 over
last year and $6,000 more than the
year before.
Although the $18,000 figure is
high, Norris said, it can be reached.
“We are very appreciative of the
people who have donated in the past,
but when you get 76,000 people to
gether, that is not even 25 cents a
person,” Norris said.
Norris said that although any type
of injury can occur at a football game,
falls that can include broken bones
arc the most widely reported acci
dents. He said other accidents that
occur include heart failure, bee
slings, heat exhaustion and cuts sus
tained from thrown plastic cups.
Norris said if a person is injured,
they will be attended to by a qualified
person who will assist, if necessary, in
getting them to the Red Cross room
located in the southeast end of the
stadium. He said the person will then
be attended to by a physician and
volunteer nurses.
“In 1985, in the game against
Florida State, we treated over 200
people and were very proud that we
could treat that many,” Norris said.
Nebraska football coach Tom
Osborne said he appreciates the ef
forts of the Red Cross.
“My dad was in the stadium for a
number of years, and he had a bad
heart. I was worried about him climb
ing up the steps to his seat, and it was
always comforting to me to know that
they were here,” Osborne said. “We
are very appreciative of their efforts.”
Nebraska athletic director Bob
Dcvancy, who is the honorary chair
man for the Red Cross, said he is
impressed by the Red Cross.
“They are a very good and well
organized organization,” Devaney
said. “I am very impressed with their
willingness to help out.”
Norris said the Red Cross has been
at every home football game for more
than 30 years. He said they are also
present at Huskcr basketball games,
the State Fair and all Lincoln Public
High School football and city recrea
tion games.
Norris said the Red Cross was also
at FarmAid III.
Injuries hold back defensive line
By Kent Endacott
Staff Reporter
Defensive Coordinator Charlie
McBride says he’s getting tired of
wailing for the Nebraska defensive
line to play up to its pteseason
billing.
“I’m not real satisfied with
where the defensive line is right
now,” McBride said. “Injuries
have really held us back.”
But Coach Tom Osborne said
the injury situation for the South
Carolina game has improved. Re
turning to practice Thursday were
defensive tackle Neil Smith and
middle guard Lawrence Pete, both
suffering from slight knee strains;
defensive end Broderick Thomas,
who suffered a dislocated shoulder
against Arizona State; comerback
Charles Fryar, deep thigh bruise;
and defensive tackle Lee Jones,
who has been bothered most of the
season by an ankle injury.
Those players are expected to
play important roles in Nebraska’s
pass defense against South Caro
lina.
Osborne said the fact that Ne
braska has been running some
plays out of the Run and Shoot
formation this season will help the
defense prepare for South Caro
lina.
“I’m not going to say we’re a
Run and Shoot team,” he said. “We
just kind of fiddle around with it.
But I think our defense has lined up
against it more than they had last
year certainly, and 1 hope that will
help.”
McBride said the defensive line
has to help itself by putting more
pressure on South Carolina quar
terback Todd Ellis Saturday than it
did against UCLA and Arizona
Slate. Last week in Tempe, Ariz.,
