Osborne plans light practice
today for beat-up Huskers
From Staff Reports_
Nebraska coach Tom Osborne
said after Tuesday night’s practice
that he’s going to “try and do some
thing in today’s practice that won’t
hurt too many more players.”
“Tuesdays are one of our harder
practices,” he said. “We were very
intense, and I feel I worked them a
little too hard. I’m going to back off
a little in Wednesday’s practice.”
Wingback Abdul Muhammad
was limping at practice and is ques
tionable for Saturday, Osborne said.
“(Fullback) Cory Schlesinger
was able to practice,” he said.
“That’s real good news right now.
He practiced real well.”
Quarterback Tommie Frazier
practiced but didn’t do any more
damage to his sprained right ankle,
Osborne said. Outside linebacker
Bruce Moore tried to practice but
couldn’t finish. Moore is question
able for Saturday.
Offensive tackle Zach Wiegert
didn’t practice Tuesday but will
practice Wednesday, Osborne said.
Offensive tackle Lance Lundberg
practiced Tuesday and is probable
for Saturday.
“Donta Jones did more (Tues
day night),” Osborne said, “We’re
hoping he will be able to play on
Saturday.
“They ’re all a little embarrassed
about Saturday,” he said. “They’re
hoping they do a little better the rest
of the week.”

“The thing that we feel bad about
right now is that Makovicka and Childs
have not been given a whole lot of
opportunity when a ball game is on the
line,” Osborne said. “We’ve indicat
ed to them that we wanted to try to get
that done before we go into the Big
Eight season.
“But whether we get that chance or
not, I don’t know. The first thing you
try to do is win the game.”
Osborne said both he and assistant
head coach Frank Solich talked to
redshirt freshman Damon Benning
after he was replaced by Phill ips in the
first half of the UCLA game. Benning
carried the ball seven times for 18
yards. He also fumbled twice, losing
one.
“We’re not at all disappointed ii
Damon,” Osborne said. “I think he’i
really a very good back. He played i
very fine bal lgame against Texas Tech
But we had planned to play Lawrence
in the first half, and so we put him ii
there and he seemed to do well.”
“In a game that tight, you just don ’
make a lot of changes. So we stayee
with Lawrence and he played well.’
Despite seeing substantial playing
time with Jones out, Osborne said
none of the I-backs should get tO(
comfortable.
“I don’t think we’re going to have
any of them real happy,” he said
“because when Calvin comes back
probably none of them are going tc
play a whole lot.
r‘A lot will depend on what kind ol
attitude and character they have.”
Sanders likes what he sees
By Jeff Griesch
Senbr Reporter
Nebraska baseball coach John
Sanders hopes to get a good look at the
new players on the Comhusker base
ball team during the next couple of
weeks of fall practice.
The Huskers began fall practice
Sept. 4, and Sanders said that so far he
likes what he sees in his new players.
“I think all the players we recruited
have the talent and the ability to make
an immediate contribution this year,”
Sanders said. “I th ink that comes from
selectively recruiting our players and
knowing what we needed when we
recruited.”
One area of concern for Sanders
after last season was the Huskers lack
of pitching depth, but he said that
would be improved.
“Last year, we had some attrition
in our pitching staff, and we felt that
it was an area we needed to cover,”
Sanders said. “I think we have done a
flood job.”
I Along with the young players,
, Weston collects
! tourney honors
• From Staff Reports
NU’s Allison Weston finished the
weekend with two more awards when
she was named the American Volley
t ball Coaches Association Division I
l Playerofthe Week and the Big Eight’s
Player of the Week Monday.
Weston, who also earned the Most
Valuable Player award in the FirsTier
Invitational this weekend, was the
first Comhusker to receive the AVCA
recognition.
The sophomore middle blocker
from Omaha led the 9-0, fourth-ranked
Comhuskers with 49 kills, two ser
vice aces, 21 digs and 14 blocks and
hit .542 in the two Nebraska wins over
the weekend.

In all, the Rams will face seven
bowl teams—including their first six
opponents.
“My biggest area of concern when
I came here was our scheduling,”
Lubick said. “I think our biggest con
cern should be giving our players a
chance to win. You can look at play
ing a great team close and say it’s all
right one or two times, but you need to
win some of those.
“It’s frustrating when you are do
ing things right and playing well but
you still lose. Against some of these
teams, we’re going to have to be
perfect to win.”
Aimes agreed that something need
ed to be done about the Rams’ future
schedule.
“We are playing seven bowl teams
this season, and that’s not good.”
Aimes said. ‘‘We feel we can match
up and go on the field with just about
anybody, but to play that many bowl
teams — come on.”
Colorado State, 1-2, showed signs
of moving its program a big step
forward when it lost to No. 18 Brigham
Young Saturday.
Aimes said moral victories were
not what Colorado State needed.
“We gained a lot of confidence,
but it is hard to say a program takes a
step forward when they lose,” Aimes
said. “In the big picture, I guess we
gained a lot in certain areas—but you
need to get that win.”
Lubick said he had hoped for at
least two victories in his first three
games, but he still is pleased with his
team’s progress.
“I can still sec that the players
giving it their all, and that is real
positive for this team,” Lubick said.
“1 had hoped we could be 2-1, but the
guys are playing hard and working
hard and that’s all I ctyi ask.”
Sanders said that he had been im
pressed with the returning players.
“I have^definitely seen improve
ment in those guys that were here last
year,” Sanders said. “I think a lot of
that comes from them playing sum
mer ball.”
Some of those who played during
the summer include Troy Brohawn,
Jed Dalton, Darin Petersen and Darin
Erstad.
All four played in the Cape Cod
Summer League, which is considered
the most prestigious semi-pro league
in the country.
Sanders said he looked at fall prac
tices as a chance to build player con
fidence and set standards of perfor
mance for the regular season.
“Last year, the way we finished we
thought that we were as good as any
team in the NCAA,” Sanders said.
“But we kind of stubbed our toe in the
middle of the season.
“Our guys want to take care of that
this year.”
The Huskers will conclude fall
practice on Oct. 2.

Atlanta Braves and WTBS owner
Ted Turner needs to lead the way for
the large-market teams to reconcile
with the small-market clubs.
Turner has more to lose than any
other owner, because he will lose his
television revenue. And without his
television money, Turner will have a
hard time paying Braves like David
Justice, Ron Gant, Fred McGriff and
Tom Glavine.
•
While Turner is far from Mr. Con
geniality among the owners, he has
the intelligence and influence to bring
the owners back together.
DN graphic
First, he needs to help the other
owners realize that they need a com
missioner to help solve the problems
facing baseball.
The man needs to have a good
rapport with players and management.
He needs to be able understand the
necessity of television and selling the
game to fans. And he can’t be afraid
to let his opinions be known.
He needs to be tough, honest, fair
and be an ambassador for the game.
One man comes to mind—ESPN
baseball analyst and former Sports
Illustrated writer Peter Gammons.
Maybe Turner can use his influ
ence to sway Gammons to take the job
and get some of baseball's problems
solved.
