Nebraska men’s swimming coach Cal Bentz said the Comhuskers 88-38 victory against Kansas on Saturday was a big one because it proved that his team was capable of turning in top performances at Robinson Natatorium in Lawrence, Kan. In the past, he said, the Natatorium has been a thorn in Nebraska’s side. “We felt we didn’t swim all that well at Kansas in the past,” Bentz said. “But this time, our guys were ready. They were ready to do some things for themselves.” Bentz declined to say whether Nebraska received any extra motiva tion entering the meet from state ments Kansas has been making since the beginning of the year. The Jay hawks opened their season by an nouncing this was the year that they were going to snap Nebraska’s string of 10 consecutive Big Eight champi onships. In addition, the Jayhawks’ media guide states that, “Nebraska has met its match in this year’s Kansas squad.’ Nebraska made Kansas eat those words with victories from Jan Bidrman, Scan Frampton, Scddon Keyter and Kyle Seaback to dispose of the 21st rankcd Jayhawks. Bidrman won the 200-yard indi vidual medley and the 200 backstroke. Bidrman teamed with Frampton, Rhett Talbert and Peter Williams to form the Huskers’ winning 400 medley relay team. Keyter won the 100 and 200 freestyles, while Seaback won the 500 and 1,000 freestyles. Bentz said he doesn’t think Ne braska can use this rout to its advan tage when it faces Kansas in the Big Eight championsmps iau.:i ims y^ai. He said the 7-2 Huskers need to keep their win in perspective. “We have to take it for what it is,” Bcntz said. “It would be stretching it to try and use it for anything else.” Bcntz said Nebraska can’t afford to savor its victory because the Husk ers will face the eighth-ranked Iowa Haw kcycs at 7 p.m. Friday at the Bob Devaney Sports Center. Bcntz said he expects a lough meet from Iowa. “It will be a good challenge for us,” he said. “Iowa always swims very well in dual meets so it will be a challenge.” Bcntz said Nebraska needs to continue to improve before facing Iowa. “We saw some improvements from some of our people (against Kan sas),” Bentz said. “But there’s still others that we need to sec some im provement from.” Dunking, IDs among policies clarified for participants on campus rec teams Q: What is the new ID policy for University ofNebraska-Uincoln intramural sports? The policy states that all students, faculty and staff members must have their UNL photo ID cards to enter the playing site. The ID’s also will be checked by an official from the Office of Campus Recreation prior to the start of each game. In addition, faculty and staff members must have paid their pro gram and facility fees. If they have not, they must pay a S3 guest fee. Q: What is the new dunking pol icy? The new dunking policy states that dunking is allowed this year. The rule, which was instituted at the beginning of the season, was overwhelmingly recommended by the campus recreation advisory council and was approved by Stan Campbell, the director of Campus Recreation. The only court on which dunking is not allow ed is court one of the NU | Coliseum, which has portable, hy draulic backboards. Q: How important is it to attend the manager’s meetings which are held before a sport’s season begins? All team sports that are not tourna ments arc supposed to have a man ager at the meeting. Teams that fail to have a represen tative will lose half of their forfeit fees. All meetings will be held the Thursday before the season starts. Q: What is the purpose of sports manship points? Sportsmanship points are used to make sure all individuals and teams conduct themselves in a respectable manner. They arc awarded on a 0-5 basis, with 5 being the highest ranking teams may receive. The ratings arc awarded by the opposing team’s captain, the game’s officials and the staff assis tant on duty. Teams must maintain a 2.5 sports manship rating to make the playoffs. Teams that make the playoffs and then have a cumulative sportsman ship rating that drops below 2.5 will be disqualified. Q: How do I know what type of rating to give? Unless extremely rare circum stances are involved, you should never award an opposing team a “0.” A “ 1 ” should be given if there arc some circumstances which show bad sportsmanship, while a “2” should be awarded to squads that cross the line of good sportsmanship. A “3” should be presented to teams that display average sportsmanship, while a “4” should be given to squads that display excellent sportsmanship. Unless a team does not even do so much as throw an elbow or block out on a rebound, a “ 5 ” should never be given. Q: What happens in the event of a scoring controversy? In the event of a scoring contro versy, the running score on the score card is the official score. To avoid controversy with this tabulation, each team is required to have one representative at the scorer’s table. The representative docs not have to be a team member. If teams do not have anyone to help run the scorer’stable, they must take a player out of the game to do it. If it is discovered at halftime that the running score has not been kept, the two teams will start the second half with a 0-0 tic.

But she came back to lead the Huskcrs in kills in six of the last 11 matches. For the season she was sec ond on the team in digs. ‘‘I was pleased with the end of the season,” Hall said. “I started out a little rough, but by the end of the | season I was coming to my peak.” She reached the peak in the NCAA semifinal game against UCLA. Hall had 19 kills in three games - a domi nant match for all the world to see. The final wasn’t quite as good, but Hall’s Final Four performance helped gain her an invitation to join the na tional “B” team fora tournament in Canada next month. Hall has turned down that invita tion, partly because the event falls during the middle of the semester, and partly so she can recover from the strain of the last 24 months. Hall said she didn’t expect that much national recognition. “I have a long way to go with consistency,’’ she said. Hall, a physical therapy major, said she won’t be playing organized ball this summer. She said she is looking for a summer internship in stead. Her career will probably keep her away from the national team, too. She said she is not planning on following in the footsteps of former Huskcrs Cathy Noth and Lori Endicou by trying out for the national team. Not to say she isn’t serious about the sport; instead of playing in Can ada, she can work on her negatives in Lincoln. “Sometimes a player with excep tional athletic ability will let her ath letic ability carry her through, but Cris wants to be technically excep tional, too,” Pettit said. “Even if she were 5-10 and not an explosive jumper, she’d still be on the court.” But she’s 6-2 and an explosive jumper. She may not be a natural volleyball player, but her raw talent and work ethic make her a natural for Nebraska volleyball. Domeier Isa junior news-editor lal major and a Daily Nebraskan senior reporter and columnist. Olson Continued from Page 7 a wise one, as he won three Minne sota state wrestling championships in high school while going undefeated during his junior and senior seasons. He also was a two-time Grand National champion. Olson said he has never consid ered changing his wrestling style. In fact, he said, Nebraska wrestling coach Tim Neumann has encouraged him not to tamper with it. “Coach Neumann did not try and change my style,” Olson said. “He just helped me refine it.” Olson said he has benefitted from the presence of Neumann and Ne braska assistant coacli Mark Perry. He said Perry and Neumann’s pres ence helped make his choice of at tending Nebraska easier. Olson said he also chose Nebraska over Minnesota and North Dakota because of the Cornhuskers ’ strong academic facilities. The reason I came here was the Hewit Center,” he said. “Coach Neumann told me that after I finished wrestling, I would have my degree.” Olson, a criminal justice major who is minoring in marketing, said he has an ultimate goal of working for the FBI. 6
