But Ellenport said he wasn’t sure whether Brown’s decision to leave school early was a good choice. “There’s a pretty good crop of running backs this year, and there’s not a high demand for them in the first round, he said. “I would say Derek Brown is good enough to go in the second round, but there’s a lot of good running backs out there.” Ellenport said that Brown’s coun teipart, Calvin Jones, mighthave more success in the NFL. “I thought Calvin Jones was the better of the two,” he said. And does Ellenport think Jones will leave next season after his junior -(I Nebraska has the tradition of putting good players in the NFL; our coaches are highly respected in the NFL community. —White former Nil linebacker -ft - year? “If he has the same kind of year as he had this year, sure.” Along with Shields, who won the Outland Trophy as the nation’s top lineman, Ellenport said a couple of sleepers in the draft might end up being Parrella and tight end William Washington. “A guy who shot up this season was John Parrella, especially because of the need for defensive tackles in the NFL,” he said. “Another guy who has a chance is William Washington .’’Ellenport said. “He’s a guy who was really looked at before (former Nebraska tight end) Johnny Mitchell came into the pro gram, and a need for many teams is at tight end.” Ellenport said this was just another good class of NFL prospects that the Huskers have produced. White said Nebraska’s reputation to have players in the NFL should have had a factor not only in India napolis, but on draft day as well. “Nebraska has the tradition of put ting good players in the NFL. Our coaches are highly respected in the NFL community,” White said. “Just like it’s said, Tt’s not what you know, but who you know.’” ■ • - 4i ironically; the time to start SAVING FOR RETIREMENT IS WHEN IT LOOKS LIKE YOU CAN LEAST AFFORD IT Can't afford to save for retirement?

Three teams fight for Big Eight title By Jeff Griesch Staff Reporter__ After beginning the Big Eight season with an 0-3 record, the Ne braska basketball team has a chance to finish in a three-way tie for the conference championship. Nebraska has won five of its last six games, and Comhusker coach Danny Nee said his team played at a higher level in a 91-87 win against Iowa State on Saturday. “That was one of the best bas ketball games played in this build ing in a long time,” Nee said. “It was championship level of play.” The Huskers* win over the Cy clones moved Nebraska, 7-5, into sole possession of third place, two games behind league-leading Kan sas, and a game behind Oklahoma State. Several things need to go right in order for the Huskers to crane away with a share of a Big Eight Championship: 1. Oklahoma State had to lose their next-to-lastgame, which they did, 89-80, to Oklahoma on Mon day night. 2. Nebraska must break a 10 year losing streak at Allen Fieldhouse and beat Kansas in Lawrence, Kan., on Wednesday and beat Oklahoma on Sunday in Lincoln. 3. Oklahoma State must win at Stillwater, Okla., against the Jayhawks on Sunday. Whether or not everything falls into place for the Huskers, Nee said his team had realized one of its goals from the start of the season. “One of our goals at the begin ning of the season was to be in it the last week of the season,” Nee said. Kansas coach Roy Williams said the Huskers had a shotat the cham pionship because they were play ing more like a team as the season had progressed. “To win five of six games you start playing better and get healthy,” Williams said. “I also think they are feeling better about each other and are more comfortable with each other.” In other Big Eight news,Okla homa State center Bryant Reeves was named Big Eight Player of the Week for the third time this season. Reeves, a sophomore from Ganz, Okla., averaged 23 points and 12 rebounds in the Cowboys’ wins over Missouri and Colorado. Reeves’ 45-footer at the end of regulation sent the game into over time against the Tigers. Huskers Continued from Page 7 men, but felt let down by his fresh men. “The upperclassmen have pretty much been carrying things for the past three or four meets,” he said. Sophomores Hawkinson, Duval and Martha Jenkins finished one, two and three in the all-around competi tion. Michigan State was led by Jodi Blotcher and Ruth Aguayo, who fin ished fourth and fifth respectively. But Hawkinson, who won the all around title with a score of38.65, said she was pleased with the Huskers* performance despite the loss. “I thought it was a really good team effort,” she said. “I think we had good team spirit and we kept together as a team.” Walton said his team needed to work on the little things in order for them to improve on the score. The freshmen, he said, must try to imitate the older gymnasts’ intensity and concentration. And Walton said the upperclass men needed to sharpen their perfor mances and concentrate on all aspects of their routines. “1 hope what the girls get out of this is that they’re going to have to clean up a little bit,” he said. “They can’t just get by.” Slicking landings on the vault and concentrating on dismounts can make a difference in the outcome, he said. Although Walton said he had hoped for a higher score, he said the 190.35 would count for one of the six scores that goes for the NCAA Midwest Regional. “It’s not a bad score,” he said. “We had hoped for a 191; we had also hoped to win the meet.” I---1 Men's Basketball 1.
