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.”

Huppert says odds in Rams tavor
By Lori Griffin
Staff Reporter_
An old rivalry will be renewed
Saturday when the Nebraska
women’s swimming and diving
teams compete in their first dual meet
of the season against Colorado State
at Fort Collins, Colo.
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.

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.

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.
