Bentz: Victory over Kansas proves
NU swimmers were ready this time
By Jeff Apel
Senior Editor
The Nebraska men’s swimming
team disposed of an old nemesis dur
ing its dual meet against Kansas.
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.

Hall

and sore knees, she led the Huskcrs in
kills only once in the first 22 matches.
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.

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
