OSU coach still positive despite Huskers’ shutout By Derek Samson Staff Reporter Despite Nebraska’s55-0 thrashing of Oklahoma State on Saturday, Cow boy coach Pat Jones was able to point out some positives on his team’s side of the ball. “I thought we looked better run ning the ball than at any point this year,” Jones said. “1 was really pleased with Mark (Williams) and John (White) at tailback.” Oklahoma Slate attempted only three passes and Jones said that the conservative offense was due partly to the wind conditions. “I didn’t think we would be effec tive throwing against these people, especially with the wind,” Jones said. “We arc not real good under still conditions so we didn’t want to throw loo much with that wind.” One Cowboy goal was keeping Nebraska from breaking big plays like the previous year in Stillwater, Okla., when the Huskers’ 49-15 vic tory over OS U was keyed by two long touchdown runs by Derek Brown. Husker I-back Calvin Jones spoiled that goal again this year with touch down runs of 90 and 48 yards. “We thought going in we had to play lights-out defense — which we didn’t — and we gave up the big plays,” Jones said. In comparing Nebraska to No. 3 Michigan, Jones said the Huskers were a better running team, but the Wol verines had a better passing team. “There’s a reason (the Comhuskers) arc leading the country in rushing,” he said. “Michigan is a better passing team and might be a little more physical.” The 32-point underdogs gave up 366 yards rushing and 140 through the air to Nebraska, compared to the 155 yards they gained. “It just boiled down to us being outmanned,” Jones said. “I’m not as frustrated right now than when we left Fort Worth (after the Cowboys’ loss toTCU).” The Cowboys, last in the country in total offense, were without their No. 1 quarterback, No. 1 split end and No. 1 flanker, who were all suspended from the game for disciplinary rea sons. Jones said he expected them back next week. Also missing was No. I tailback Raphael Denson, who was out with a neck injury. ^ “He could have played if it came down to that, but we were trying not to use him,” Jones said. Baseball Day attracts 41 alumni By Tim Pearson Staff Reporter Winning wasn’tcvcry thing,allcast not at the Nebraska Alumni Baseball Day on Saturday. “Most of us probably didn’t even know what the score was,” Steve Sianicck, who played for the Huskers from 1980 to 1982, said. “It’s not really the game (that attracts me), it’s the people.” Forty-one former Huskcr baseball players participated in the third an nual alumni game. Among those was one active major leaguer. Kip Gross, who pitched for Ne braska in 1986, played for Los Ange les this year. He compiled a 1-1 record with an earned run average of 4.18. Gross said that it was nice to come back to Lincoln. “I enjoyed it,” he said. ‘‘It’s nice to see everybody and have a good lime.” The point of the game was for ‘‘everybody to get a swing” at bat, Mike Harlander, the event’s orga nizer, said. The white team beat the red team 6-3, overcoming the game’s only home run, which was hit by Shawn Buchanan in the bottom of the second inning. After the game, a home run hitting contest was held. Former Husker All American Paul Meyers, now an assis tant at Nebraska, won the competition for the second year in a row. Although winning was not of im portance, it was important for the players to do their best, Slanicck said. “You don ’ t want to cm barrass your self out there,” he said. Husker baseball coach John Sand ers said he “thoroughly enjoyed” the game. “The biggest part of it is having all the players back and seeing them en joying themselves,” he said. “We’re all winners on a day like this.” Huskers swiftly polish off Tigers By Jeff Singer Senior Reporter___ Once again, ihc Nebraska volley ball team made a long road trip for a quick job. ThcCornhuskcrs, who have swept their last six matches, polished off Missouri 15-5, 15-6, 15-3 on Satur day in Columbia, Mo. Nebraska has won 19 straight games since Wyoming forced the Huskers to a five-game match in Sep tember. Husker volleyball coach Terry Pettit said his team’s improved play had contributed to the Nebraska’s re cent rash of sweeps. “We definitely have been playing better, and we’re playing with a lot more confidence,” Pettit said. Pettit said the Tigers were overmatched against Nebraska. “Against this team, the key was getting the ball over their setter.” Pettit said. “Physically, they couldn’t stop us.” The Huskers won their 23rd straight match against Missouri and improved their overall record against the Tigers to 36-2-1. Pettit said Missouri had improved over last year. “Missouri’s team was stronger than they’ve been in the past,” Pettit said. “They were getting a lot of side-outs, but they had trouble running pointson us.” The win, before 187 fans at the A HcamcsCenter, improved Nebraska’s overall record to 10-2 and its confer ence mark to 4 -0. The Tigers dropped to 12-5 and 1-4. The Huskcrs were propelled by a .404 hilling percentage compared to Missouri’s .214 average. Seniors Stephanie Thaler and Eileen Shannon led the Nebraska hitters, as each hit .500 in the match. Despite his team being in first place in the Big Eight and having gone through one-third of the conference schedule unscathed, Pettit said he still didn’fknow if Nebraska was the team to beat in the Big Eight. “There’s still a couple of teams we haven’t played like Colorado and Kansas State, so that remains to be seen,” he said.
