Men’s team primes for sprint classic;
women swimmers will take on Kansas
By Jeff Apel
Senior Editor
One of the most unique swimming
meets in the United States will be
staged when the Husker sprint classic
takes place Saturday.
Nebraska men’s swimming coach
Cal Bentz said the meet is unique
because it will include eight sprint
events that do not exceed 200
yards. The meet also will include 1
and 3-meter diving competitions.
Bentz said sprint classics arc
rare in the United States even though
they are common in Europe. Ne
braska staged its first sprint classic
last year, and captured the team title
by defeating Southern Methodist 60
48.
This year’s field for the meet in
cludes men’s teams from Nebraska,
Texas, Michigan, Iowa and Kenyon
College, a Division III school from
Gambier, Ohio. The meet is free for
all University of Nebraska-Lincoln
students who present their student
IDs, and begins at 1:30 p.m. at the
Bob Devancy Sports Center.
The Nebraska women’s swim
ming team also will be in action Sat
urday, as it will travel to Lawrence,
Kan., to face the Kansas Jay hawks.
That meet begins at 2 p.m. at the
Robinson Natatorium.
Bentz said he is looking forward to
the sprint classic even though his
team is coming off a tough week.
Seven of Nebraska’s top swimmers
just returned from the U.S. Open in
Indianapolis, while the rest of the
team is coming off a three-day vic
tory in the Husker Invitational.
Bentz said he knows the meet’s
competition will be tough. Texas is
the defending national champion,
while Michigan finished third at last
year’s NCAA championships.
In addition, Iowa finished eighth
at the NCAA competition, while
Nebraska was 10th. The meet’s re
maining competitor, Kenyon Col
lege, is a Division III powerhouse.
Bentz said he doesn’t know how
the team standings will stack up.
“It’s really hard to measure,” he
said, “but I think it will be a close
race.”
Bentz said he knows the meet will
be beneficial.
“The talent is going to be good,”
Bentz said, “and we know there’s
going to be some fast races. We just
hope we can be part of those races.”
Nebraska women’s swimming
coach Ray Huppert said he hopes his
squaa is also pan oi some iasi races
when it faces Kansas. The 4-0 Jay
hawks are led by Barb Pranger, a
sophomore who earned All-America
honors in the 100-yard breaststroke
last season.
Huppert said Nebraska is not
going to change its training habits to
prepare for Kansas. The Jayhawks
are the defending Big Eight champi
ons.
Kansas will enter the meet with an
advantage, as it shaved and tapered
prior to its third-place finish in last
weekend’s Arkansas Invitational.
Tapering is a process in which swim
mers attempt to improve their times
by resting.
‘‘I know Kansas is a good team,
but right now we’re still focusing on
what needs to be done at the end of the
year,” Huppert said. “I’m not saying
that we’re going to let Kansas walk
all over us. We feel it’s real important
to go down there with the idea of
beating them, but our No. 1 goal
remains winning the Big Eight cham
pionship.”
Huppert said he has a lot of respect
for Kansas.
‘‘Kansas is just a great team,” he
said.
UNL to field flag football team
at championship in New Orleans
By Jeff Apel
Senior Editor
The Sweet Hogs will participate in
the National Collegiate Flag Football
Championships after all.
Kcnda Schcele, the coordinator of
intramural sports at the Office of
Campus Recreation, said the Sweet
Hogs earned a berth in the national
competition when Gleason’s Team
cancelled. Gleason’s Team had
qualified for the competition by win
ning the University of Nebraska-Lin
coln’s co-rec title.
I
Scheele said she originally told
the Sweet Hogs that they could not
compete in the championships be
cause they missed the Nov. 22 entry
deadline. The Sweet Hogs won the
all-university men’s title by defeat
ing Sigma Phi Epsilon B-2 7-0.
Scheele said she could not enter
the Sweet Hogs late because student
fees pay the entry fee. Teams who
entered the tournament by Nov. 22
were charged S230, while squads
who entered after that date were
charged an additional S20.
The tournament, which is held in
conjunction with the Sugar Bowl,
begins Dec. 27 in New Orleans. The
competition will begin with round
robin play, and will conclude with
single-elimination competition.
Scheele said she was glad the
Sweet Hogs were available to play in
the tournament. She said the Office of
Campus Recreation ran into an unfor
tunate situation last year when a team
cancelled out, and no replacement
could be found.

Tips On Car Repair
Before You Call For Service
• First read the owner's manual. You may discover that what appeared to
be a major problem is something you can correct yourself.
* Determine if your car is still under warranty. If your warranty still
applies it must almost always be handled by an authorized franchised
dealership that sells your make of car.
Finding A Repair Shop
• You will want to shop around for the best deal Consider both the price
and quaility of service when selecting a repair shop.
* Call the Better Business Bureau for a customer experience report on the
company.
• Find out if the shop employs mechanics certified through the National
Institute for Automotive Service Excellence.
• Talk to friends and co-workers and find out where they take their cars. i
• Before you lake your car in, make a list and take it along with you.
State all the trouble precisely and include your name and a telephone
number where you can be reached.
• Read over the the entire repair order and be sure you understand what
is going to be done Write the amount you are w illing to authorize on the
repair order so there is no misunderstanding
Before You Pay
• Ask the service manager to explain all work done and replacements
made.
• Ask for a guarantee in writing for the work that has been done.
Protect Yourself
• If your car starts to sound or operate strangely, don't just hope the
problem will go away by itself Take your car to be checked out while it's
still running If you are suspicious about a diagnosis, then you'll still have
time to take your car somewhere else.
• If you do not receive satisfaction, contact the local Better Business
Bureau where your car is serviced.
