— Injuries plague Iowa State team 1SU from Page 9 _ we play this week, Walden said. “Somehow or another, we’re not over-elated about playing Nebraska this weekend.” Walden said he hopes to see Ne braska leaving Ames early on Satur day. “They’re going to come in here and beat us up,” he said. “They’ll get their blood. And when they do that, 1 want them to get the hell oulof town.” Texas bears injury, expects hard match TEXAS from Page 9_ Haley said Texas and Nebraska face similar situations during their conference seasons because both teams are expected to win every match. Texas has captured six con secutive Southwest Conference titles, while Nebraska has won 12 consecu live Big Eight championships. Haley said he can’t explain Texas’ domination against Nebraska. The Longhorns have won six of the seven meetings between the two schools. “I don’t know that we’ve domi nated Nebraska except in the win column and that’s not a fair domina tion,” Haley said. “Holy cow — we’ve had some tough matches. I don’t ever remember an easy one.” Haley said Texas has not played up to its potential this season. He said the Longhorns suffered a serious blow when starting outside hitter Katie Salen broke her hand last week. “That injur)' caused us to take a step back in our execution,” Haley said. “But if we keep getting better as the season goeson, we’ll be all right.” 1 NOOOLCS COMCT3Y CLUB I I Featuring nationally known comedians.

The meet will begin at 2 p.m. at Colorado State’s Moby Pool. “The Nebraska and Colorado Slate meet is always a great rivalry,” Ne braska coach Ray Huppert said. “Colorado State brings out the best in our team.” Colorado State coach John Mattos agreed with Huppert. “We are looking forward to a chal lenging meet from an excellent team,” Mattos said. “It is a tremen dous rivalry and we really enjoy it. “Both Ray and I have tremendous respect for each other’s programs and there is no time we don ’ t go in with the attitude that we are going to swim well.” Huppert said the Rams should hold an advantage going into the meet because the home team has usually come out the winner during the teams’ past meetings. Nebraska defeated Colorado State 147-119 last year at Lincoln’s Bob Devaney Sports Center. Colorado StatedcfeatedlheHuskers 149-119 in 1986 at Fort Collins. “I think the home pool advantage has definitely been an advantage in this case,” Huppert said. Mattos said the home pool advan tage does not always make a differ ence in the meet’s outcome. “He’s (Huppert) won up here once,” Mattos said. “But we have never beaten Nebraska in their home pool We hope to alleviate it some time soon. We hope (the home pool advantage) makes a difference this year.” Huppert said the Huskers are look ing to improve on their performance at last weekend’s Big Eight Invita tional at Ames, Iowa. “We’d like to improve on our indi vidual performances,” Huppert said. “Wcare becoming stronger and better and we hope to build on that. “We are not going to focus on winning,” he said. “We are going to focus on doing our best. Win, lose or draw, we are going to continue to build.” Mattos said he is also looking for a good performance .rom his team, which is competing in its first dual. Mattos said the strength of his team lies in the middle and distance events. He said the Rams are also strong in the freestyle sprint events. “I think we will match up evenly with Nebraska in the other events, ’ Mattox said. “I think we will see great races in the butterfly, backstroke and breaststroke competitions.” Huppert said Nebraska’s strength will be in the diving competition. He said the Huskers also have a good chance of winning the backstroke competition. Huppert said he expects a strong performance from both teams, but that the odds should be in the Rams’ favor. “The meet will be pretty even, Huppert said. “But you have to con sider them the favorite coming oil ol a 23rd-placc finish in the NCAA s. “Colorado State should also be considered the favorite because they have quite a few team members re turning.” Mattos said the Huskers won t have to adjust much to Colorado s high altitude. “Ray’s team has to come up to the altitude but the races are 200 yards and under, so it should have no major effect on their performances,” Mattos said. Huppert said the altitude should not affect his team. “It is psychological more than anything,” Huppert said. “We don’t even talk about it with our athletes. It’s just a mental type of ploy that teams at altitudes like to use against teams below sea level. “We can breathe. If we were there for a week it might have an effect. We’re going to be okay,” he added. Husker coaching staff will by eyeing Waldorf s Jackson as possible recruit NBA will begin its season tonight The Dallas Mavericks, who lost in seven games in the Western Confer ence finals last season, are standing pat. The two-time NBA defending champion Los Angeles Lakers made a big move in the new unrestricted free agent market. Thie two teams will test their off season strategies tonight in one of 10 NBA season openers. The Lakers added free agent Orlando Woolridge and rookie David Rivers, giving Coach Pat Riley a chance to give his veterans a rest, especially 41-year-old Kareem Ab dul-Jabbar. Nothing will change in the starting lineupas Abdul-Jabbar opens his 20th season alongside Magic Johnson, Byron Scott, A.C. Green and James Worthy. The Mavericks, meanwhile, have done virtually nothing to change the team that lost to the Lakers in the Western Conference finals. --1 JACKSON from Page 9 team. We’re probably the underdog.’ Thorell said the Huskers don’i plan to gear their entire defense to ward stopping Jackson. “You can’t set up your whole de fense to stop one guy because ther you gel hurt in other areas,” he said. Nebraska had trouble with Jackson last year because the defense did not tackle well, Thorell said. He said the Huskcrs will have a better defensive game plan this year. Waldorf’s wishbone offense pro vides more difficulties for defenses than most wishbone offenses do. Waldorf runs a lot of options, like typical wishbone teams do. But the Warriors also run some sprint outs with Jackson to allow him to throw the ball, and they do not use a snap count. They run up to the line, hesitate for one second and snap the ball, which often catches the defense oft guard. Thorell expects Nebraska to play better than it did in its last game, a 36 14 win over the University of Ne braska at Omaha on Oct. 21. He said the Huskers practiced well Tuesday, their final day in pads, which is a sign they are ready for Friday’s game. ThorcJl said some of the Husker junior varsity players will advance to the varsity after the Waldorf game, so he expects his team to play hard while trying to impress the varsity coaches. I-back Scott Baldwin leads the Huskers in rushing with 393 yards and five touchdowns. Quarterback Mike Grant has rushed for 342 yards and five touchdowns, and has thrown for 364 yards and eight touchdowns. Split end Jon Bostick has caught seven passes for 244 yards and five touchdowns. “We just want to play a complete game and improve in every area,” Thorell said.
