The team’s chances of going to Tempe appear much greater than most of the Nebraska fans’. If the Comhuskcrs win their final two games, ticket manager C'indy Bell said Nebraska’s ticket allotment of 12,500 will be distributed first to boosters. Bell said she expected 500 tickets — which will be distributed through a lottery — to be made avail able to UNL students. At this time, the game is already considered a sellout. Fiesta Bowl Ticket Manager Chris Stewart said all 73,471 seats in Sun Devil Stadium had been purchased. Both schools will be allotted 12,500 tickets, Stewart said. "Tic rest of the tickets we sell on a membership basis.” he said. Tlie Fiesta Bowl members receive a chance to renew their tickets annu ally, and this year, all of the members’ tickets have already been issued. "The members have the first right to renewal,” Stewart said. "We have members who have had memberships since our first game in 1971.” Bell said the 12,500 tickets were the standard allotment to a school for a bowl game. No additional tickets will be given to any school, she said. Last year, the Orange Bowl granted Nebraska an additional 3,000 tickets to give the Huskers a total of 15,500. "We’ve been taking requests since last Jan. 1,” Bell said. ‘'At this time, wc have too many requests to pro cess.” Other potential Fiesta Bowl par ticipants arc also limiting ticket sales to fans. A Florida State ticket official said Thursday that all tickets would go-to boosters. Florida’s ticket office said Fiesta Bowl tickets would be reserved for season ticket holders and boost ers. Nebraska donors can request an Kansas coach hopes to finally stop NU By Mike Kluck Staff Reporter Kansas coach Glen Mason dreams about this Saturday’s con test against No. 1 Nebraska, but he is hoping the game doesn’t turn into a nightmare. “This is a chance to coach against one of the quality coaches of the game,” Mason said. In seven seasons, however. Mason has al ways had to congratulate Osborne at the end of a game. The closest Mason ever came to defeating Nebraska was in 1993 when Kansas running back June Henley scored a 3-yard touchdown with 52 seconds remaining in the game. But the Jayhawks failed on a two-point conversion, and Ne braska held on for the 21-20 win and finished the regular season un defeated. Mason, however, is not using the 1993 game as motivation for the Jayhawks; instead he said he was focusing on Virginia’s 33-28 upset of thcn-No. 2 Florida State on Nov. 2. “I’ve always been one to downplay comparison scores,” Mason said. “I didn’t need to watch Thursday night football to realize anything can happen on any given day.” Mason said for his team to de feat the Huskers, it would have to overcome its youth, the play of Nebraska senior quarterback Tommie Frazier and the image of not being able to beat the Huskers. Nebraska is good, but Mason said Frazier was the difference maker in the Husker squad. Frazier, a Hcisman Trophy can didate, holds the record for career wins at Nebraska and is averaging | 6.1 yards a carry. He also has ac counted for 27 of Nebraska’s 63 touchdowns this season. “He’s a 190-pound tailback “They are the best run team in the history of college football. ” GLEN MASON Kansas football coach, on the Nebraska football team playing quarterback,” Mason said. “From what I have seen, he looked like he’s been throwing the ball pretty well. “To sec what has gone on up there under the leadership of Tom (Osborne) is unbelievable. They arc the best run team in the history of college football.They got a tremen dous offensive line and the best player in football in Tommie Frazier. That’s why they are num ber one in the country.” Nebraska is a difficult team to defense against the run, Mason said, but with Frazier’s passing ability the Huskers become a tough team to stop. Another concern of Mason’s is his defense, which includes three freshmen and only three seniors on the starting team. “We’ve got a very young foot ball team,” Mason said. “It’s a dif ferent bunch, and they are very co hesive. It’s hard to believe we’re going into game ten.” Mason said although none of the current Jayhawk players were alive the last time Kansas beat Nebraska, he is not concerned with his play ers’ mentality. In 1968 Kansas de feated Nebraska 23-13 in Lincoln. “It’s a perception, and you al ways worry about dealing with per ception,” Mason said. “That’s not the type of guys we have. If we play well enough, we’ll win; if we don’t, we’ll lose.” I Daily Nebraskan staffers pick die winners of 10 major college football games this weekend, with winners in bold Kansas St. at Iowa St. Missouri at Colorado Oklahoma St. at Oklahoma Washington at UCLA Iowa at Northwestern Illinois at Ohio St. Oregon at Arizona Auburn at Georgia Florida St. at North Carolina Pick the score Nebraska 44 at Kansas 17 Last week: 7-3 Season: 65-15 unlimited number of tickets.

Weekend meet an opportunity for swimmers By Mike Kluck Staff Reporter After two losses last weekend, the competition doesn’t get any easier for the Nebraska men’s swimming team this weekend as it travels to Califor nia. Nebraska lost to Texas A&M 166 134 last Friday and SMU on Saturday 131-112. The 1-2 Comhuskers will face No. 8 University of California at Berkeley today and on Saturday compete against No. 2 Stanford. Last season Stanford lost to national champion. Michigan in the NCAA Champion ships. Nebraska swimming coach Cal Bentz said the Huskers were looking forward to this weekend’s challenge. “After our trip last week to Texas, we really feel our people arc ready to step up to another level," Bentz said. “We want to go there and compete." Bentz said this weekend’s compe tition would help the Huskers prepare to accomplish their goals of winning a Big Eight championship and finish ing with a high mark at the NCAAs. But the Huskers aren’t solely con centrating on facing two ranked teams. Rather they arc more concerned with improving their individual times. “Wc are trying to get our people to compete at the best level they can," Bentz said. “This is an opportunity and a real challenge.” Bentz said he would rely on the Huskers’ three captains, Francois Boshoff, Bjorn Mollerand Kevin Gre gory, to make sure the Huskers kept the right frame of mind. Nebraska has 13 freshmen on its 28-man roster. “Our captains do a real good job," Bentz said. “We are always trying to compete at a level that’s a real chal lenge to you. Last week wc pretty well found out we were able to maintain a good focus. At A&M, although we were defeated, wc had excellent times, and against SMU wc took a top 10 team down to the wire." Dirksen: Runners strong for Saturday By Vince D’Adamo Staff Reporter The Nebraska men’s and women’s eross country reams will compete in the District V Championships Satur day in Stillwater. Okla. The meet begins at 10:30 a.m. with the men'\s_ 10.000-meter run. The women’s 5.000-meter run begins at 11:30 a.m. Cornhuskcr coach Jay Dirkscn said he liked his team’s chances. “It’s the qualifying meet for the nationals. We’re fielding a full team,” Dirkscn said. “I think we have a rcai bona fide shot at winning this thing." Nineteen teams will be competing in the meet, including No. 2 Oklahoma on the men’s side. However, other Big Eight foes Iowa State and Oklahoma State catch Dirksen's attention just a.-> much as the Sooners. On the women’s side, the toughest opponents for Nebraska arc No. 19 Iowa State and No. 24 Missouri. The Husker men placed sixth in the Big Eight Championships on Oct. 27 with a score of 161. Dirksen said team captain Brady Bonsall and Balasz Tolgyesi would lead the way. The Husker women finished fourth at the Big Eight Championships with 93 points, once again paced by Nora Shepherd and Christina Blaekmer. Dirksen said he thought the Husker women would rise to the occasion this weekend. "I think our women will be right in the thick of it," Dirksen said. "We don’t have any injuries, so I think both of our teams have a shot" One of Nebraska’s main goals at districts this weekend, Dirksen said, is to qualify for the NCAA Champi onship Meet, which will be held in Ames, Iowa, on Nov. 20.
