“Of course the other tning about
is that if you got a guy who is a liu e
bit beat up, it is probably smart to hoi J
him out now instead of get him out
there and aggravate it and have it
carrying over into next week. That is
kind of the way it is with (defensive
back) Lorenzo (Hicks) and probably
with Steve Taylor and some of these
guys. If we were playing Saturday,
they probably would have practiced
today.”
Nebraska’s injury list includes:
• Senior quarterback Steve Tay
lor: sprained ankle
• Senior wingback Dana Brinson:
neck injury
• Sophomore strong safety Reggie
Cooper: sore knee
• Senior tight end Todd Millikan:

• Senior left comerback Lorenzo
Hicks: pulled groin

cirv n early with a sore knee,
Osborne said.
Osborne said most of those players
sh< hi Id practice today. The exception
is junior Ray Ya'ladao, who had his
knee scoped Wednesday, and will
probably be out .’or 10 days or two
weeks. Osborne said ;hey found a
slight cartilage tear in Valladao’s
knee. Junior fullback Sam Schmidt,
who injured his ankle in the UCLA
game, is still on crutches and Osborne
said it may be next week before
Schmidt returns to practice.

game, practiced Wednesday. Os

Knox had played fullback earlier
in his Nebraska career before switch

give the Huskers added depth at full
back for road games. He said that
Carpenter was the only fullback who
was healthy enough to play against
UCLA, despite his bruised hand.

strokes out of 2nd place, but
difficult greens widen that gap

potential said Larry Romjuc,
men’s golf coach. The team

Gambler tells losing story
GREEN from Page 15
Jim placed the bet on three night
games and — what a surprise! — lost
all three.
“If I could tell you how close I
came to suicide that night . . Jim
said, shaking his head as his voice
trailed off.
There was no need lor him to finish
his sentence. The tears streaming
down his checks did that for him.
That Saturday night was a sleep
less one for Jim. He now owed Lin
coln bookies S7,1(X) and had run up
charges of S33,(XX) on three credit
cards. Needless to say, the amount
was well over his limit. He now laced
severe credit penalties and eager
bookies at his doorstep, holding out
their hands.
“The only thing left lor me to do
was to get help from my parents,” Jim
said. “That was probably the hardest
thing I’ve ever had to do.”
Jim said he didn’t know how diffi
cult it was until he actually phoned his
parents the next day.
He said his parents were “about as
understanding as they could have
been” under the circumstances, and
that they’ve still not recovered finan
cially from bailing him oul.
As a result, Jim, 21, had to quit
school and get a full-time job in his
hometown. After the debts were fi
nally paid, there wasn’t enough
money for Jim to continue college.
His parent’s savings account was
completely wiped out.
His father, who had retired nine
years ago from his own business, was
forced to get a job.
“It was by far the stupidest thing
I’ve ever done,” Jim said. “Of course,
when you’re gambling, stupidity is
common. You just can't see it. When
someone else tells you how dumb it is
to bet, you ignore them.
“My ignorance cost me 40 grand.”
Jim said he has learned from his
lesson and that he now tries to dis
courage his friends who want to start
gambling. All he has to do, he said, is
to tell them his story.
“I haven’t even begun to put my
life back together,” Jim said. “But it’s
something I’ vc got to do. I’m only 21
and I can’t give up. Gambling is no
longer part of my life. It can’t be.
“The only bet I’m making for the
rest of my life is that I’ll turn my life
around."
That’s one bet Jim can’t afford to
lose.
