Cooper Continued from Page 7 beat the Seminoles. Three weeks later, Nebraska will beat Kansas. And follow this yellow brick road. Kansas, ranked 32nd now, will beat Virginia this week. Virginia then will beat Clemson the following week. And you know the rest. Seven of the Top 10 teams, by then, will have fallen to the Com Cob transitive shuck. The only victim left will be Wash ington. Which returns us to Nebraska’s next opponent, Arizona State. Those little devils will bedevil Washington with a devilish grin on Nov. 2. Finally, something worth while will come out of the Fiesta Bowl, when the Sun Devils bum them dogs. And you guessed it: Since Ne braska will beat Arizona State, which will beat Washington, the Huskers ultimately are better than Washing ton despite Saturday’s loss. Ah, the cruel, bitter, husky irony. By November, the Florida teams will have taken care of each other (It’s a family thing). Eighth-ranked Notre Dame’s sched ule will have taken care of the Fight ing Irish. Baylor, Tennessee, Syracuse, Auburn, Ohio State and Georgia Tech will be shucked in some way or an other. And after Halley’s Comet returns 70 years early to intercept a Cale Gundy pass and portions of Memorial Stadium’s watered down turf, Ne braska will have defeated sixth-ranked Oklahoma. Almost like 10 years ago. By the Orange Bowl, Jan. 1, Ne braska will have beaten the Sooners who will have beaten Texas... On second thought, worry about it.

The CIA is as equal opportunity employer Clock runs out on Lincoln’s ballclub _ .... loomif n/»¥f uPQr hf» cairl l ne Associated Press Supporters trying to organize a minor league baseball team in Lin coln failed to find investors in time for next Tuesday’s deadline, City Council member Ken Haar said. Haar, city officials and commu nity volunteers had worked to organ ize a team in the Can-Am League, a new baseball minor league that will include teams from Canada and the Midwest Lincoln’s team would have been called the Lincoln Sowers. Haar said Monday he thought the city could have put together an inves tor group, but state and federal secu rities laws are too complicated to meet me i uesaay aeaaime. Max Chambers, the president of the Can-Am League, would not agree to an extension, Haar said. The names of cities that have teams will be an nounced in early October, Haar said. When Chambers announced Lin coln’s conditional franchise Aug. 28, he indicated that he could find out-of town investors to finance a team here. Haar said Monday that Chambers’ investors decided to finance another team. Haar said it’s unlikely another out of-town investor could materialize before the deadline. Lincoln baseball supporters will work to put together a team for the “We gave it our best shot but we ran out of time,” Haar said. “But we’re not quitting on this.” Mayor Mike Johanns said it was a risk worth taking. “If hard work could have made it happen, it would have happened,” Johanns said. Haar said he expects baseball supporters to study securities laws more carefully to form an investor group. “If the Can-Am League goes, I think the chances will be good” for Lincoln to land a team in 1993, Haar said. Women s tennis team undergoes more cnange By Jeff Singer Staff Reporter As the Nebraska women’s tennis team opens its fall season this week end in the Husker Invitational, the evident changes from last year’s team begin at the top. Scott Jacobson, a former assistant with the Comhusker men’s team, has taken over the women’s program. He said the transition was not a difficult one. “I think one of the things that has helped me make the transition are the girls,” Jacobson said. “With every body staying eager and focused in practice, it has helped make my job easier.” Jacobson, who took over the pro gram in May, said he has seen some differences between the men’s and women’s teams. “Now I feel I have more responsi bility,” he said. “I also think there is a lot more tension on the men’s side compared to the women’s.” Zarina Glavan and Frauke Hacht mann, Jacobson’s two top recruits, will fill the top two singles spots. The two players came to Nebraska by different routes. Glavan transferred from Grossmont (Calif.) Junior Col lege after being named the country’s top junior college player in both singles and doubles. Hachtmann, who is from Hannover, Germany, came to Ne braska after being influenced by countryman Matthias Mueller, a member of the Husker men’s tennis team. Glavan will play No. 1 singles and No.-1 doubles with senior Rachel Collins, while ttachtmann will com pete at No. 2 singles and team with Ann Flannery at No. 3 doubles. Jacobson said having those recruits on the team will boost Nebraska’s program. “The people that have come here are going to help us tremendously,” Jacobson said. “We’re really fortu nate to have them here.” Jacobson, the third women’s ten nis coach for Nebraska in three years, said he plans on staying as long as possible. “I plan on being here for more than a year,” he said. “I want to be here for a while if they let me.” lennis coach hopes youth to benelit HusKers By Jeff Singer Staff Reporter Inexperience is the main obstacle this season for the Nebraska men’s tennis team. With only one starter reluming from last year. Coach Kerry McDer mott is hoping his fountain of youth will produce a successful season. It all starts this weekend when the Comhuskers travel to South Bend, Ind., to compete in a 16-team tourna ment at Notre Dame. “This is a big change since we lost so many guys from last year,” McDer mott said. “But even though we are young and inexperienced, I don’t think it will be that big of a factor.” McDermott said that having so many vacant spots and so few stars can make the Huskers very competi tive. “Since we have so many open positions, it’s making our guys work real hard at practice,” McDermott said. “I think this will overflow into competition since we are a team of no-names that have to go out there and make a name for ourselves.” Only Karl Falkland returns from last season’s starting six singles play ers. Two more of last year’s starters, Matthias Mueller and Anthony Ko tarac, have opted to redshirt this year. The Huskers have another famil iar face from two years ago, Joseph Rahme, reluming this season. Rahme will play No. 1 singles and doubles for Nebraska. He was the No. 6 Big Eight singles champion in 1989 but sat out last year to serve in the army of his native South Africa. McDermott said that ifplayers like Falkland and Rahme pool their lead ership and pull together the youthful Huskers, Nebraska will be a difficult team to beat. ‘If we continue to work hard, we’re going to be a pretty good team,” McDermott said. “And if we can pull together as a team, we’re going to surprise a lot of people.” We're Conoco, the Hottest Brand Going.
