Neumann not worried about matches;
wrestlers anxious for championships
By Chuck Green
Senior Reporter
Tonight’s wrestling meet against
Drake is one Nebraska coach Tim
Neumann would like to skip.
But fear of getting beat isn’t the
problem.
With the Big Eight championships
a little more than two weeks away,
Neumann is just anxious for the dual
season to be over.
His fourth-ranked Comhuskers are,
too. But, Neumann said, his team
knows what must be done.
“We’ll do fine,” he said. “But we
just have a lot more on our minds than
going up against Drake.”
Neumann said Nebraska’s final two
duals of the season - the last is Satur
day against Missouri at the Sports
Center - are not high on the team’s
list oi priorities.
“We will win these last two duals,”
he said. “But even if we don’t, it
doesn’t really matter.”
Nebraska's starting lineup will be
altered for tonight’s dual. All-Ameri
cans Scott Chenoweth and Jason Kelber
will not wrestle against Drake.
Jeremie Eckley, a redshirt fresh
man, will be making his first start at
-4 4
. . .because of the
lineup, the match
could be interest
ing. But I don't
see us losing.

-9 9
the 134-pound weight class, as will
Brian Williams at 118. The rest of the
Huskcr starters will be moved up one
weight class, except for the starters at
177, 190 and heavyweight.
Neumann said he isn ’ l sure what to
expect from Drake, because he hasn’t
seen them yet this season. But, he
said, he does know the Bulldogs have
been beaten by some “less than great
teams this season.
“However, because of the lineup,
the meet could be interesting,” he
said. “But I don’t see us losing.”
Neumann said Drake is a young
team, made up mostly of freshmen
and sophomores. Most of their start
ers, he said, were offered partial schol
arships or chances to walk on at major
Division I programs, but accepted
full scholarships with the Bulldogs.
Note:
• The Huskers on Monday began
practicing twice a day in preparation
for the conference championships,
which will be at the Bob Devaney
Sports Center on March 11.
Neumann said the team’s attitude
is positive so far.
“After the second practice on
Monday, some of the guys came up to
me and said it felt good to be training
again,” he said.
Monday’s practice was “the hard
est we’ve had all season,” he said.

No. 2-rankcd Missouri last Sunday in
Columbia, Mo. He said Oklahoma is
close in terms of talent to Missouri
and Kansas, which held the lop two
spots in this week’s Associated Press
poll.
Tubbs said the Missouri contest
was the first in a regular-season end
ing stretch that is the “toughest in the
nation.” In addiuon to playing road
games against Missouri and Nebraska,
Oklahoma will rematch Missouri and
have matchups against Kansas and
Oklahoma State before the Big Eight
tournament March 9 to March 11.

have anyone to back them up.”
Huppcrt said Nebraska is not inti
mated by the Jayhawks.
“Kansas has got the ball in their
court,” he said. “On paper, they are
better than Nebraska.
“ But on paper, you can’t count us
out.”
Huppcrt is basing his optimism on
the return of three swimmers who
“I don’t think anybody in the na
tion has a tougher close than our team
does,” Tubbs said. “We’re going to
have to be ready.”
Tubbs said Oklahoma is going to
have to be ready for Nebraska if it is
going to continue toward its goal of
peaking for the Big Eight and NCAA
championships. He said the Sooners
have shown progress this season, but
need to step things up.
“You know I think we’re showing
some progress,” Tubbs said, “(but)
if we’re going to do anything we’re
going to have to do it now.
“I think we have room for im
provement.”
Tubbs said Oklahoma has received
a boost from forward Jackie Jones
won four B ig Eight titles at last year’s
meet Kansas returns one.
The Huskers’ returning champi
ons are Lynne Braddock in the 50
yard freestyle, Jenell Garcia in the
200 butterfly and Carole Johnson in
the 100 and 200 backstrokes. In addi
tion, Nebraska returns Long, who
captured the 1988 200 breaststroke
title before falling to fourth last sea
son.
Kansas’ lone returning Big Eight
champion is Gina Brown in the 100
butterfly.
and guard Skeeter Henry. Henry
averages 18.1 points and 5.2 rebounds
per contest, while Jones averages 13.8
and 7.
Tubbs said Henry has been a model
of consistency.
“Overall, he’s been our most
consistent performer,’’ Tubbs said.
“He’s just been playing pretty steady.’’
Tubbs also praised the efforts of
Jones, who scored a career-high 30
points earlier this season against
Colorado.
Jones credited his scoring outburst
against the Buffaloes to an injury.
“I banged my ankle in the first
half,” Jones said. “I think thathelped
me. 1 wasn’t mobile enough to foul
anyone.”
Huppcrt said Nebraska also will
have an advantage entering the meet
in terms of experience. The Husker
roster has seven freshman, while
Kansas’ has nine.
Huppcrt said the younger swim
mers have no idea what they’re get
ting into.
‘ ‘Our freshmen don’t have a grasp
of what’s happening,” he said.
‘ ‘There’s going to be 1,000 people in
the stands hooping and hollering.
“It’s different from any meet
they’ve competed in.”
| Promotional give-away opens simulcast action
From Stall Reports
Patrons who take in the simulcast
ing action at Lincoln’s State Fair Park
may win more than the bet they
wagered on a horse race.
As part of a new promotion this
season, State Fair Park officials an
nounced they will be giving away
SI00 to a patron who attends the
simulcasting action. Simulcasting is
a process which allows patrons to
view and wager on racing by watch
ing through a television hookup.
The races will be simulcast from
Grand Island’s Fonner Park, which
opens its season at 2 p.m. Thursday.
Racing from Fonner will begin at 2
p.m. on Friday, and at 1:30 p.m. on
Saturday and Sunday.
State Fair Park will simulcast the
action on all four days.
State Fair Park officials also an
nounced that they will have several
other promotions in conjunction with
their simulcasting, including free
admission and a special section of the
clubhouse which will be reserved for
non-smokers. A banquet room for large
parties of individuals also is available
if advanced reservations are made.
