Sanders said Tcgtmcicr’s depar ture from the bullpen means cither sophomore Aaron Bilyeu or junior Armando Garza will join Matranga as a closer. Garza has compiled a 1 -5 record and a 5.73 ERA while splitting lime between starting and relief this season, while Bilyeu has 1-0 and 4.40 marks.

He said Nebraska needs to lakes its games against the Bears seriously. “We need to eliminate the menial aspectofit,” he said, “and just goout and play.” Sanders said Nebraska is not set ting any definite goals for its homes tand even though it has dominated all three opponents. The Huskers all-time record against Northern Colorado, Northern Iowa and Northwest Mis souri State is 30-1. “We’ve just got to take one game atatime,” Sanders said. “We’ve got to play these games with a Big Eight mentality in order to prepare our selves for the conference portion of our schedule.” Nebraska Symposium on Waste Management A part of the Global Seminar Series ✓-N Sponsored by UNL-AIESEC I Featured speakers: A Monty McKillip, Ray Coffey, biii Gilley Bruce Saturday, April 14 Baugh, Lynn Moore. * r and Larry Grimm 9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. Topics: City Union Recycling Methods, Current Programs, Water and Toxic Waste Lunch will be provided. ; V Managemen' J Open to the public. rPIZZA SHUTTLE I 230 N. 17TH FriTrn^m'Vul.Tu “NO COUPON SPECIALS” _ 475-6363 Ve Accept Checks I l^AC'T (25< Sf^rmce (harqi) Lb * m n71?DV LIMITED DELIVERY AREA DtLIVLKi —■WE DELIVER DURING LUNCH!-——® Al Schaben/Daily Nebraskan Nebraska cornerback Bruce Pickens is taunted by Florida State wide receivers Ronald Lewis (left) and Terry Anthony during the 1990 Fiesta Bowl.

Those players, Darlington said, will give the Huskcrs increased depth going into fall practice. Next season’s non-conference schedule doesn’t include any stand out passers, like last season’s game against Utah’s Scott Mitchell, who is projected as a first-round pick in the National Football League draft. But nevertheless, Darlington said, there are some concerns. The Huskcrs open the season Sept. 1 against Baylor, a game that will be nationally televised by ESPN. The Bears have a new offensive coordina tor, who was at Clemson last season. Darlington said this causes the Husk crs preparation problems. “We’re just not sure what to pre pare for against them,’’ he said. “We’ll have to prepare for both (the run and pass).” The other three non-conference opponents -- Northern Illinois, Ore gon State and Minnesota - have good passing schemes, but ‘‘might not have the athletes to get the job done.” After Nebraska’s loss to Florida Stale in the Fiesta Bowl on Jan. 1, the Husker secondary was the target of a barrage of criticism. Darlington said he doesn’t plan any major changes in the way the defensive backficid is structured, but hopes for improve ments in the w ay his players execute. Orioles favored for AL East title; Royals, Angels tough in AL West After about a month of arguing, the baseball owners and players fi nally settled their differences and the season has begun - although it was a week late. This is the time of year when hope springs eternal. The lime when Chi cago Cub and Cleveland Indians fans VP- Nick V Hytrek think that maybe this just might be the year when they make it to the World Series. It also is the time of year when everyone has an opinion of who will win and who won’t. So here arc some personal predictions. First, the American League East. • Baltimore The Orioles had the best defense last year, and that will continue into this season. Baltimore also had many young pitchers last year that will improve with a year’s experience, especially Omaha-native Gregg Olson. The O’s don’t have a lot of power, but their pitching and defense will take them to the East title. • Toronto Toronto is most people’s presca son pick. The Blue Jays arc very similar to Baltimore in that they have strong pitching and defense, but they have the benefit of having more power in their lineup. The problem with Toronto is that it usually finds some way to screw up and blow its pennant hopes. • New York The Yankce’s biggest problem the past few years has been pitching. This year they have taken a step in the right direction and picked up three starters who arc proven winners. If the starters fail, the Yankees have a strong bullpen to come to the rescue. If Dave Winfield can return to form after a year off. New York will have an explosive offense to go with a steady defense. • Boston The Red Sox have only two qual ity starling pitchers in Roger Cle mens and Mike Boddicker, but the rest of the rotation is questionable. Starting pitching will kill the Red Sox by September. • Cleveland The Indians made many moves during the off-season to improve them selves. Cleveland also had the best combined ERA of any pitching staff in the division last year and should be just as good this year. Look for the Indians to move up a little but they won’t challenge for a pennant • Milwaukee The Brewers have many older players who are coming off injuries and arc questionable. They also played the worst defense in the league. Milwaukee’s success will hinge on whether or not it can stay healthy. • Detroit The Tigers are slicking with their veterans which is not smart since they had the worst record in baseball last year. Detroit has few young players to come up and make an impact this year. Their pitching staff is old and will lake its lumps again this year. Now, on to the American League West. • Kansas City The Royals picked up pitchers Mark and Storm Davis to go with an al ready strong pitching staff. Their offense wasn’t the most productive last year, but the potential is there to score a lot of runs. • California The Angels also strengthened a strong pitching staff by signing Mark Langston. California icd the Ameri can League in home runs last year but had poor run production. With pitching like this, though, who needs to score a lot? • Oakland The A’s lost three quality players in Storm Davis, Dave Parker and Tony r Phillips. The key to thcii season will I ie i n ovcrcom ing the absence of those three. 1 Oakland is strong in every other category but the rest of the division 1 unproved while the A’s remained the same. • Texas s Nolan Ryan is back to lead the Rangers’ staff. But after Ryan, the staff is weak. Texas has a solid offense with a lot 1 of power but will not be able to show case it against the superior pitching of i the rest of the division. • Seattle i The Mariners finally arc on their way up With several young players they are not yet ready to challenge foi t the division title but will gain valu able experience for seasons to come. • Minnesota The Twins’ oncc-dominant pitch ing staff has disappeared and become 3 a question mark since they traded Frank Viola to the Mcts last year. 3 Minnesota has a powerful offense, but will have to try to oulscorc oppo nents this year because of their pilch- 1 ing woes. s • Chicago s The White Sox arc young and have s a lot of unproven players on their 1 roster. Relief pitching is their strong point since they have many young starters. Home run production will have to d rise for Chicago to have any success. Next week: The National League. Hytrek it a sophomore news-editorial major and a Daily Nebraskan sports reporter and columnist. Invite Continued from Page 7 to the player’s youth. Nebraska’s normal starting lineup includes two freshmen, three sophomores and another sophomore who sometimes pitches. Wolforth, now in his fourth year. said he seldom had those problems with his more-experienced teams. “They didn’t get distracted,’’ he said. “They just did whatever it look to win the ball game. More seasoned players realize they are going to make an error and just find a way to over come it.’’ In today s opener, Wolforth said he hopes to overcome Miami, a team that upset the Huskers 3-1 at the Flor ida Stale invitational. >c He said Miami is a team that Nebraska should not lose to and that *’ he is looking for revenge against the Redskins. d The Huskers enter the tournament with a 19-12 record after a double- ' header sweep Wednesday night of ' Wichita State.
