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.

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

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

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.”
