bines was that it would be tougher for
a special-team player to get drafted
than other position players.
“There were probably four tp five
teams that said they were looking for
a punter,” he said. “It’s a little bit
harder as a punter and kicker, because
you’ve really got to go out and prove
yourself.”
Craig Ellenport, who is the college
football writer for Sport Magazine
and the former editor .m chief of Col
lege & Pro Football Newsweckly,
said Stigge might not get drafted, but
he should end up in the NFL.
“With only seven rounds in the
draft, a lot of guys will be signing on
as free agents; I think one of the top
guys to do that will be Stigge,
Ellenport said. “Stigge will get signed
— he’ll be in somebody’s camp.”
Overall, Ellenport said he saw
Brown, the Big Eight’s Offensive
Player of the Year last season who left
Nebraska after his junior year, and
Hill, a second-team All-American, as
being the highest Nebraskans selected.
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

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.’”

SAVING FOR RETIREMENT IS WHEN IT LOOKS
LIKE YOU CAN LEAST AFFORD IT
Can't afford to save for retirement?
The truth is, you can't afford not to.
Not when you realize that your retirement
can last 20 to 30 years or more. You'll want
to live at least as comfortably then as you
do now. And that takes planning.
' By starting to save now, you can take
advantage of tax-deferral and give your
• money time to compound and grow.
Consider this: set aside just $100 each
month beginning at age 30 and you can
accumulate over $192,539* by the time
you reach age 65. But wait ten years and
you'll have to budget $227each month
to reach the same jroal.
Even if you're not counting the years to
retirement, you can count on TIAA-CREF
to help you build the future you ‘deserve—
with flexible retirement and tax-deferred
annuity plans, a diverse portfolio of invest

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.

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.”
