NU swim teams
expect challenge
From Staff Reports
The Nebraska men’s and women’s
swimming and diving teams will hit
the waves against die Iowa State
Cyclones Saturday at the Bob Deva
ney Sports Center pool.
The Comhusker men (5-3) are
ranked 18th after a win over No. 17
Michigan State and a loss to No. 11
UCLA in Los Angeles where they
trained during semester break.
Men’s Coach Cal Bentz said in a
press release that training in Los
Angeles helped prepare his team for
the Cyclones, who are coming off a
win at Minnesota.
“Iowa State covers every event,
they have always been very competi
tive in diving,” Bentz said. “They
have an excellent group of young
swimmers, but we’re prepared for a
tough meet.”
The women’s team (3-4) spent the
break training in Lincoln, and Coach
Ray Huppert said he also expects a
tough meet.
“The Cyclones match up well
against us because we are both in
growing stages, with all of the youth
in the program,” he said.
Atlanta

Neumann said Tennessee
Chatanooga’s strength is its starters
in the upper-weights, from 158 to
heavyweight — the same strength as
Nebraska.
Neumann said he is pleased with
the progress of the lower-weight
classes, from 118 to 150. All five
starters are new faces in the Husker
lineup.
But, he said, the progress is going
better than he expected at the begin
ning of the season.
“I’m still concerned,” Neumann
said. “But I think they’re doing more
than just holding their own.”
Neumann said he is “extremely
pleased” with the progress of the team
as a whole.
“They’ve all improved consistently
from week to week,” he said. “You
can’t ask for anything more than that.”
Notes:
• Nebraska’s wrestlers and coaches
should feel welcome in Atlanta Sat
urday. .
A University of Nebraska-Lincoln
alumni group known as “Georgians
for Nebraska” probably will have a
large contingent at the meet, Neu
mann said.
“The last time we wrestled Ten
nessee-Chatanooga (in Chaianooga
five years ago), we walked into the
gym and saw about 150 people dressed
in red, with a big banner,” Neumann
said. “We had more fans there than
they did.”
The chapter’s support for the wres
tling team, Neumann said, can be
credited to its president, former Ne
braska Yell Squad member Jeff Cas
teel, who married a former Husker
Wrestling Spirit Leader.
Neumann said he expects the chap
ter to be out in full force for the meet
in Atlanta.
“That makes it a lot nicer for us to
go down there,” he said.
• Clemson and Tennessee
Chatanooga will have a surprise
awaiting them in their first matches
against Nebraska.
Jeremie Eckley, who won three
consecutive Class B wrestling titles
at Sidney High School, will likely be
Nebraska’s starter at 118.
Eckley quit the team last year, but
relumed recently after Husker starter
John Buxton left the lineup with a
knee injury.
Eckley recorded a 120-10 record
in high school, including a 96-3 rec
ord in his last three years.
Kansas

“These guys need a lot more train
ing right now,” Dirksen said. “A meet
right now would hurl us more than
help us.”
Dirksen said he would send fresh
man Rcnicr Henning to Kansas to run
the mile. Henning needs to get some
meet experience, he said.
No women distance runners will
compete.
But Dirksen said he would have
everyone ready by the NebraskaOpen
on Jan. 25. ■
The women, shooting for their 12th
consecutive Big Eight title, will send
all their sprinters.
Women’s sprints coach Steve
Rainbolt said he wanted his runners
to get some experience and familiar
ize themselves with the conference
track.
* “A lot of people will be running
two or three events down there,”
Rainbolt said. “Hopefully we’ll be
able to place everyone in an event
after that.”
Attempting to study for the MCAT alone would be nearly
impossible. Attempting to study without Stanley H. Kaplan would
simply be a bad career move.
Maybe it’s our 50 years of experience. Our small classes. Or the
advanced teaching methods we use in all our classes all across the
country.
Whatever it is, if medical school is your future, Stanley Kaplan
can help you start practicing right now.

Nebraska’s Bruce Chubick moves in to contest Eastern
Illinois’ Derek Kelley fora rebound in the Cornhuskers’ 81 -68

13-game home winning streak Saturday against Missouri. -

loes 84-74 and improve its Big Eight
leading three-point percentage to nearly
45 percent.
Nee credits his long-range shoot
ers Eric Piatkowski, Carl Hayes, Chris
Cresswell, Jamar Johnson and Mi
chael Hughes for Nebraska’s success
from three-point range.
“We’ve got five players who feel
comfortable shooting the shot, so we’ve
basically given them the green light,”
Nee said.
Along with maintaining their home
winning streak, Nee’s Huskers will
try to hit another milestone on Satur
day, as Nee attempts to win his 100th
game at Nebraska.
Nee, who is in his sixth season
coding the Huskers, would join Joe
Cipriano and Moe Iba as the only
100-game winners in school history.
If Nee reaches his milestone on
Saturday, he will do it before a sold
out Devaney Center. The Huskers are
on pace to break last season’s atten
dance record, which Nee said was a
credit to his team’s exciting play.
“I think the home crowd here is a
compliment to the program and the
players,’’ Nee said. “Nebraska will
support a basketball team that plays
an up-tempo style of play, and I think
our team is very entertaining and people
like watching them play.”
Tigers

, Beck said the Tigers have two key
players.
Ericka Fields, Missouri’s only
senior starter, is second in the Big
Eight in scoring and rebounding. Her
21 points a game trails Nebraska’s
Karen Jennings’ 25.5 point average.
“She’s a very tough, very hard
nosed player inside,” Beck said.
Vantrece Williams, a junior-col
lege transfer, is scoring 14.5 points
and grabbing 7.8 rebounds a game.
Nebraska’s Kristi Anderson, who
missed the Huskers’ game against
Colorado with back spasms, is ques
tionable for Saturday’s game, Beck
said.
