ran for 43 yards. Grant was next with
36.
The first-string defense and of
fense were matched throughout the
scrimmage, and Osborne kept them
on the field against each other as
much as possible.
“The defense was good enough,
we didn’t gel very many big plays,”
he said.
“I would have liked to sec a little
more pizazz offensively today than
what we saw. We’ve got the elements
of a good offense and I think we’ll gel
it pul together.”
Osborne said Grant — who had
entered fall practice as a co-No. 1
with redshirt freshman Tony Veland
— had become his first-string quar
terback.
Linebacker Trcv Alberts, who has
been hampered by a hamstring in
jury, and strong safety Ernie Beler,
who suffers from a groin pull, were
among the players missing. Senior
quarterback Joel Cornwell also missed
with a sore shoulder.
Two-a-day practices are now over,
and Osborne said he was satisfied
with the progress the team has made.
“I think we’ve done about all we
can physically,” he said. “We really
need to work hard the next two weeks
to get refined offensively, the timing
has got to get better.
“I feel encouraged about the team
because their attitude’s been good
and I think defensively we could get
better.”

Gymnasts
keep fit
for season
By Nick Hytrek
Senior Reporter_
Editor’s Note: This is the first
in a five-day series of stories
updating five Cornhusker
athletic programs and prog
ress made during the summer.
Tomorrow: Women’s basket
ball.
While Nebraska men’s gymnas
tics coach Francis Allen was away at
the Olympics this summer, his gym
nasts were not at play.
Allen, coach of the U.S. men’s
team that competed in Barcelona, said
his Nebraska athletes didn’t work as
hard as they usually do, but they did
get some good workouts in. '
“It was a pretty laid back sum
mer,” Allen said. “This was probably
the easiest summer ever.
“Some summers they work their
butts off going to competitions all
summer.”
Workouts were optional, Allen said,
but attendance throughout the sum
mer was high.
“They had the option to come in
and most came in,” he said. “The
guys did a good job this summer.”
The lack of quality gymnastics
facilities in the country also added to
the high attendance, Allen said.
“In college gymnastics, the only
place to train is at the campus,” Allen
said. “The equipment at Nebraska is
as good as you’ll find anywhere. You
just can’t go anywhere and train.”
Because of the Olympics, there
was no Olympic Festival or other
major meet for Comhusker gymnasts
to compete in in the United states.
However, two Huskers — Dennis
Harrison and Richard Grace — com
peted on a national team, which trav
eled to a meet in Great Britain. There,
the U.S. team Finished second to the
British Olympic team in a four-team
competition.
That experience and work during
the summer led to improvement, Allen
said.
“We’re prclly much set,” he said.
“We’re in pretty good shape.”
Nebraska finished second in last
year’s NCAA championships in Lin
coln, losing to Stanford. But most of
the members of that team will be
returning for another run at the title
next spring.
And the newest member of the
team, Jason Christie from Lincoln,
also improved this summer, Allen
said.
“He improved a lot this summer,”
he said. ‘‘I think he’s going to be able
to do two or three events for us this
year, maybe more.”
Considered by college coaches as
one of the top high school gymnasts
in the country last year, Christie’s
ability was still surprising, Allen said.
“Christie is better than I thought
he was,” Allen said.
