Sports lincoln JournaL Friday, May 4, 1979 .13 Lee Kunz sixth Gornhusker grabbed in pro draft i OfV i (wi 'Ht Hl I rJisiLk' By Randy York Staff Sports Writer If you don't listen to the radio or don't own a television or if you're just getting back from a two-day camping trip, we'll bring you up to date with the latest Nebraska news in the National Football League draft. With apologies to Don Dunphy, we'll do it like a ring announcer for the Friday Night Fights. Round 1: George Andrews, defensive end, drafted by the Los Angeles Rams as a linebacker; Kelvin Clark, offensive tackle, Denver Broncos. Round 2: Cancelled, due a lack of interest. Round 3: Barney Cotton, offensive guard, Cincinnati Bengals; Richard Berns, running back, Tampa Bay Round 4 Colorless, without red.

Round 5 Puzzling, without red again. Round 6: Steve Lindquist, offensive guard, Miami Dolphins. Round 7: Lee Kunz, linebacker, Chicago Bears. Round 8: Fruitless. Round 9: Jeff Rutledge, the Alabama quarterback who beat Nebraska and Penn State, was the 26th player chosen in this round by the Rams but still no Tom Sorley.

If you don't know what to think at this point, imagine how Cotton felt Thursday. When the first round was complete, he noticed with more than passing interest that Oklahoma's Greg Roberts and Southern Cal's Pat Howell were still around. "One's the Outland Trophy winner (Roberts) and the other's supposed to be pic team in the discus, if he was not drafted high. Nine rounds six Huskers. Those still waiting for the magic phone call Friday afternoon were linebacker Bruce Dunning, Sorley, receiver Frank Lockett, and perhaps defensive back Jim Pillen or kicker Billy Todd.

Red-White game scheduled Saturday Two positions offer drama '1 By Randy York Staff Sports Writer Twenty practices, reels of film and reams of grading sheets haven't been able to tell Nebraska football coaches what they wanted to know this spring.

So it's unlikely that Saturday's 20th annual Red-White Game, which could be called a glorified scrimmage, will shed any new light on Nebraska's most pressing problems for the 1979 season quarterback and offensive tackle. Those positions have crystallized to a point, but they're still considered as grab bag as a sellout at a hobby shop. Therefore, Saturday's 1:30 p.m. kickoff at Memorial Stadium offers some drama for the 20,000 fans who usually show up for spring's final football examination. Tickets are $2 for adults and $1 for college and high school students and under.

The South Stadium ticket office will be open from 9 a.m. to noon to ease the crunch. Thirteen ticket booths on the east and west sides of the stadium will then handle sales from noon until kickoff. Despite the absence of such standouts as I.M. Hipp, Kenny Brown, Tim Wurth and Dan Pensick because of injuries, Nebraska Coach Tom Osborne is anxious to see how newcomers perform before a crowd.

Quarterback Jeff Quinn and offensive tackles Mike Bruce and Dan Steiner will be interesting focal points. But so will offensive guard Randy A word to the wise: be prepared Hear ye, hear ye. Football fans with weak kidneys, beware! There will no working restroom facilities Saturday at Memorial Stadium for the annual Red-White Game. Renovation of all restrooms prevents their use. Fans, therefore, are advised to take care of first things first.

Since the forecast calls for a 75-de-gree day, Saturday could be the first sporting event in North America with 20,000 fans dying of thirst and afraid to buy a Coke. Take heart, however. The handicap is universal. The working press and VIP section of the press box will also have to bite the buUet. Schleusener, linebackers Tom Vering and Brent Williams and defensive backs Paul Letcher and Mark LeRoy.

They're new starters with unfamiliar rings to general fandom. "Quinn," Osborne said, "has been the best quarterback overall this spring and the next five have sort of rotated in different order. Tim Ilager has not had a great spring, but he's been injured and that's hurt him." Hager will share No. 1 quarterback-ing duties with Quinn for the Reds, the "I thought we were coming along, but nothing like this," said East Coach Myron Oehlerking. "We finished 47 points behind Lincoln High in the Trans-Nebraska meet two weeks ago.

We were 20 behind the Links in the Public Schools meet last week and now we beat them by 6 points. "We had some very good performances, especially from Ann Edmunds and Kim Zietlow. They ran an awful lot in the prelims and finals today," he said. "We were very close to qualifying in a lot of events with two third-place relays and a couple of fifth place finishes." The Spartans qualified in six individual events and one relay. In Class the top two relay teams, and the top four individuals in each event qualify for next weekend's Nebraska Girls' State Track and Field Championships at North Platte.

In addition, the top four times in the relay events are assured a berth in the state meet even if they failed to finish among the top two in a district meet. Deb Schmalken and Tina Schoonover Lincoln teams upset in A-l Cotton Berns everyone's sure-fire pro (Howell)," Cotton observed. "When they didn't go, I got worried. I thought I was in for a long wait." Cotton, who lives in the apartment underneath Andrews, decided to bide his Nos. 1 and 4 units.

The Whites, comprised of the Nos. 2 and 3 units, scored a 14-13 upset last year when Dean Sukup kicked a field goal with 19 seconds remaining. This year, Sukup will be a member of the Reds, which lead the series, 10-9. "We went into the spring hunting for offensive tackles and we're still hunting," Osborne said. "Bruce has played the best and has been a pleasant surprise and Steiner's ahead on the other side.

"But it's still wide open. Mark Good-speed has done some good things. Dan Hurley has come on strong. Gary England has a chance and Dan Rice has been good at times. Everyone just needs more consistency." Between 120 and 130 players will suit up for Saturday's Spring Game.

Hipp (broken thumb), Wurth (neck) Brown (knee) and Pensick (broken hand) won't be the only ones on the sideline. Joining them will be middle guards Curt Hineline and Randy Florell (knee injuries), defensive tackles Brian Hedrick and Gene Coulter (knees), linebackers Dan LaFever (knee) and Brent Evans (neck), defensive back Dave Liegl (knee) and I-back Bill Toscas (ankle). Tight end Greg Rabas and fullback Jim Kelly, both hampered by knee injuries, are expected to play. Saturday's game will be broadcast by Lincoln's KFOR and KLIN. scored Lincoln High's only wins in the district, taking top honors in the shot and discus respectively.

But the Links, although slowed by flu and an injury to Charlene Maxey, still qualified in eight individual events and a relay. Maxey, who pulled a muscle while warming up for the 100-yard dash preliminaries, managed to qualify in the 100 and run a leg on the second-place 400-meter relay team. Lincoln's only returning state gold medal Debbie Freeman of Northeast, easily won the high jump at 5-5. Julie Reiling, Southeast's only state meet qualifier, placed second in the high jump at 5-2. Four other Northeast girls qualified for the state meet, along with the Rocket 3200-meter (two mile) relay team.

If a protest in the shot put is held up by the NSAA the Rockets may qualify another individual.

"You just can't have any excess body fat," Steve explains. "Dairy products, for instance, will put a layer of fat between the skin and the muscle. So they are out.

I have a natural sweet tooth. But I don't allow myself anything with sugar in it. That takes real self discipline." What does Torrance eat in an average day? "I start breakfast with six eggs," he reports, "then have a protein drink with two more eggs in it. I also eat some supplemental protein powder." For lunch, Steve usually eats a can of tuna packed in water and an apple. Dinner is two pounds of chicken boiled or baked and a big salad of lettuce with no dressing.

"No breads, no sweets, no dairy products, no red meat," Steve says. "No fats or carbohydrates. It's a tough diet to stay on. It drains my energy. That's why I've got to be psyched up to stay on my training schedule and do well in competition.

Determination is a great part of Kunz time by playing cards with Kerry Wein-master, John Havekost and Dan Pensick. If he was expecting a marathon, Cotton fell a good 24 miles short. A few straights and a couple of full houses after he started playing cards, the Bengals called. Tony Davis' team made Cotton a third round draft choice, only one behind the more celebrated names of Roberts and Howell. "It's about time they got around to some offensive linemen," Cotton said.

Berns, meanwhile, took the edge off his anxiety. By the time Tampa Bay dialed his unlisted number, he had been waiting approximately 6 12 hours. Eight-one players had already been chosen. "When it came, it was anti-climactic," Berns said. "I didn't even realize I'd been drafted until I hung up the phone; it just didn't register." Nevertheless, Berns expressed excitement about being drafted on the first day.

"I didn't have the luck of Kelvin or George," he said. "I had to wait longer, and I couldn't leave home to go work out. So I was hitting a ball off the house and playing basketball with my daughter's ball." It was his way to release tension. His wife, LeJohn, was even more worried. "She felt they must have gone through 18 rounds, and I hadn't been drafted," Berns said.

"I thought the same thing, even though I knew there were only six rounds and they couldn't have been through all of them yet. "I'm just fortunate the Lord blessed me, and I'm happy to go anyway you look at it, whether it's in the 12th round or the first. "All that matters is, where you'll be on the pay scale. I've worked hard all my life and that won't ever change. As long as I get the chance, I know I have the ability.

I'm just out to earn a job that will provide the right type of life for my wife and my family." Lindquist was thinking Philadelphia and hoping home state Minnesota before he got the word on Miami. But he was happy with the news. "Their offensive line is getting on in years," he said. "I think the average age is 33. They're looking for youth.

I played high school ball for fun and was surprised when I made college ball. Now I'm really looking forward to pro ball. I'm optimistic about making it." Kunz, who will head for the wind of Chicago instead of the beaches of Miami, didn't even have time to wait for his phone call from the Bears Friday morning. lie was en route to Missouri to compete in a track dual for the Iluskers. There's also the possibility Kunz won't try pro football.

He agrees that some men do over-develop certain muscles, creating an appearance that may not be pleasing to all "My goal," he adds, "is to just develop each muscle to its fullest potential." What motivated Torrence to subject himself to such demanding training? "I've always liked weight lifting to keep in shape," he answers. "Then I banged up a leg in a motorcycle accident and started body building as a rehabilitation thing." It's been a long, hard year for Steve Torrence.

10 Lot o' Gold, Don Brumfield, 30-1. General Assembly and Sir Ivor Again will run as an entry trained by Leroy Jolley. Mohamed recently has been taking out full-page advertising in through-bred racing's trade publication, the Daily Racing Form, claiming that neither Spectacular Bid nor Flying Paster would win any of the Triple Crown races this spring. "I've been thinking about entering him (Great Redeemer) for a few days," said Mohamed, who has written a book called "Thoroughbreds: A Daring New Approach" and is working on another book on his conversion. "In his last two races, he's been coming around." Currently stabled at Keeneland Racetrack in nearby Lexington, Great Redeemer was purchased for a reported $1,900 in Maryland.

He did not race as a 2-year-old and his record this year includes a fifth-place finish at Keeneland April 27 and third, fourth, fifth and ninth-place finishes at Oaklawn under the care of the replaced James. Mohamed has a trainer's license in several states and Keene Dangerfield, state steward, said he did not foresee any problem in granting Mohamed a license to race in Kentucky if he ever arrived However, Mohamed said he could only get plane reservations as far as Atlanta and was considering asking the publicity department at Churchill Downs to send a car for him.

Body building team effort By Ken Hambleton Prep Sports Writer FREMONT The Millard girls' track team finally got out from behind the shadow of Omaha Central, racing away with the Class A-l District track meet Thursday at Fremont High School. Millard won three relays, counted on victories in two individual events and eight other state meet qualifying performances to topple pre-meet favorite Lincoln High and Lincoln East in the eight-team meet.

"I know Omaha was glad to see us go somewhere else," said Millard track Coach Paul Sanders. "But they couldn't have been any happier than our girls were especially after today. "We ran three meets last week and finished second to Omaha Central in every one of them," he said. "Our girls didn't lose confidence, though, because we improved each time. Today, we had our best meet of the year." The Millard two-mile relay team of Kathy Kane, Robin Fee, Lynn Mack and Debbie Elsasser, the only girls team in Nebraska to ever crack the 10-minute barrier in the event, provided most of the Indians' points.

The foursome won the relay, while Kane captured the 200, and Elsasser placed second in the 1600 and 800. Mack and Fee earned third place finishes in the 800 and 1600, respectively. Millard sophomore Shari Miller won the 200, and ran a leg on the winning 800-meter relay. I know we beat some very good teams in East and Lincoln High, and I figure there were just a lot of breaks that went our way," Sanders said. "But the girls made a lot of those breaks themselves, because they're convinced they can do anything." Runnerup Lincoln East also showed vast improvement, topping Lincoln High for the first time since the season opener.

Spartan sophomore Ann Edmunds won the 1600 and 800, and ran a leg on the second place 1600-meter relay team. Team-male Jayne Eitzmann won the hurdles and Spartan Debbie Hill captured the long jump. Another East sophomore, Kim Zietlow, finished second in the 200, third in the 400 and ran a leg on the second place 1600-meter relay team. LOUISVILLE, Ky. (UPI) The owners of 3-5 Kentucky Derby favorite Spectacular Bid Thursday expressed anxiety and doubt regarding the last-minute entry of winless Great Redeemer.

Great Redeemer, a son of 1970 Kentucky Derby starter Holy Land who fell down is winless in six starts this year and caused an uproar in the racing secretary's office at Churchill Downs. He was entered just five minutes before the 10 a.m. deadline and moments later, his trainer, Jim James, was either fired or resigned. "I don't think the horse belongs in the Kentucky Derby," said Teresa Meyerhoff, one of the owners of Spectacular Bid. "He's drawn next to us in the break and with an inexperienced horse like that, anything can happen.

I just think it cheapens racing." J. A. Mohamed, a self-styled breeding expert from San Antonio, Texas, called racing secretary Lou Dolan five minutes later and announced that he would be saddling the colt in Saturday's $304,900 race. After finishing 13 lengths behind the winner in Tuesday's Derby trial, Great Redeemer had earned just $4,200, not enough to cover the Kentucky Derby starting fee of $7,600. However, Mohamed said he was impressed by the colt's last two races, which convinced him to enter Great Redeemer in the Derby.

Listed aboard Great Redeemer was 26-year-old Richard DePass, who did not fnd out about the mount until his agent called him at noon. The colt was listed as a 30-1 longshot. Also entered in the 1 i-mile race were No. 4 Shamgo, Frank Oliveres, 30-1: No. 5 Screen King, Angel Corde-ro, 12-1; No.

As a Lincoln Southeast High senior in 1972, Torrance participated in football, wrestling and track as a 6-1, 200-pounder. The 25-year-old University of Nebraska grad is now a personnel analyst for the state.

Yet he is in training for the current sport of his choice body building with greater dedication than ever before. Saturday night at 8 p.m at the Nebraska Center, 33rd and Holdrege, "Mr. Nebraska" will be crowned. Torrance, now a solid 225-poundcr, is one of the pre-meet favorites. "Lots of people dont understand what is involved in the sport of body building," Steve says.

"The first thing that comes to most people's mind is weight lifting. But diet and the Intensity of the workouts necessary to attain total muMe development is what makes body building so demanding.
