KSU game moves to night for TV ihe Nebraska game against Kansas State on Oct. 4 will be tele vised nationally on the Fox Sports Network at 6 p.m., locally on FX, Lincoln Cable Vision Channel 38. The game time was pushed up from the original 12:30 p.m. kickoff to accommodate television needs. “I feel bad about that for the fans’ sake,” NU coach Tom Osborne said. “It’s really short notice. It seems like you are almost held hostage by television agreements. But it won t bother us any. I’m sure there will still be a crowd here.” New light poles are scheduled to be installed TTiursday at Memorial Stadium and will be ready for the Huskers matchup with Kansas State. Linebacker Octavious McFarlin, who rolled his ankle last Saturday against Washington, did not practice Monday. I-back Ahman Green, who left Saturday’s game with an injured shoulder in the fourth quarter, returned to practice Monday.

K Sand_i si _.rts new era at NU SANDERFORD from page 7 dentials and what I’ve accom plished,” Sanderford said. “I agree, the Athletic Department needs more women in key positions, but why hot hire the best person? “Why not hire someone who can build a program? I’ve been involved in that process, so why not give me a chance?” A period of awkwardness between Sanderford and the members of the 1997 Husker squad preceded the announcement of the new head coach, he said. Nebraska returns 13 players who competed during Beck’s last season. Sanderford’s attempt to build a relationship with them, he said, was hindered by the hiring delay. “The Legislature made things more difficult than they should have been,” Sanderford said, “and that put the players in limbo for a long time without any direction or leadership.” Senior guard Jamie Kubik said the players’ feeling of apprehension was transformed into eagerness after the team’s first meeting with Sanderford. The team appreciated Sanderford’s enthusiasm and honesty, Kubik said. “He’s really down to earth and he cuts right to the point,” Kubik said. “If he has something to say, he flat out says it. “I am more excited this year because of him. He’s just bringing in new and fresh ideas, and he’s really dedicated to promoting the program.” Sanderford believes fan interest represents a key to the success of his first Husker team. Nebraska will hold “Make Your Pick Night” today from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Bob Devaney 1997-98 Nebraska Woman's.

The event gives fans the opportunity to pick their seats for the season and meet Sanderford and the Huskers. Students will also receive free tickets by mail to each of the Huskers’ home contests. “We need to start promoting this Aaron Steckelberg/DN program,” Sanderford said. “When I walk into the coliseum and I see 4,000 fans cheering at a volleyball game, that makes me believe there isn’t any reason we can’t get it done for women’s basketball.” FROST from page 7 Frost had the responsibility of lead ing the Huskers on a quest for a third straight national championship - a dream that was shattered in a 19-0 loss to Arizona State in the second game of the season. “I’ve been very pleased with his maturity,” Osborne said. “He, for some reason, has gone through a hard battering during the last year and a half. I think the problem was that we had won 26 straight games and that he had to be the quarterback when we lost one. Somehow, people have never gotten over it.” Statistically, Frost compares favorably to his predecessor, Tommie Frazier, who led Nebraska to national championships in 1994 and 1995. In his final two seasons as a Husker, Frazier rushed for 852 yards (6.6 yards per carry), and passed for 1,635 yards in 15 regular season games. Frost, in his first 15 regular season games at Nebraska, has rushed for 850 yards (5.1 yards per carry), and has thrown for 1,715. The difference: Frazier went 15-0; Frost went 13-2. “He is really playing good foot ball,” Osborne said. “He’s playing, right now, as well as anybody we’ve had. He’s an excellent runner, he’s an excellent thrower, and he knows the offense.” After reviewing film, Husker a He is really playing good football He s playing, right now, as well as anybody we ve had.” Tom Osborne NU head coach coaches rated Frost’s 81-snap perfor mance against Washington a 1.96 on a two-point scale, and Frost scored 1.97 with 60 snaps against Central Florida. Osborne said he didn’t remember the last time - if ever - a quarterback had performed better than that. “Above all,” Osborne said, “he just ran the football team very well.” American Heart Association^^ FfHhf NMff Amih Dance Contest Every Tuesday 9:00 pm
