Huskers have been working on behind closed doors. "I don't want the fans coming out to the game thinking they are going to see a bunch of new things because they won't," Osborne said.

Keeping the new tricks in the bag is a time honored practice during spring games. But Osborne has added incentive to keep the lid on things, this year. "Alabama will have a scout at the game," the Husker coach said. "And we will send films of the spring game to both Alabama and California. We'd like those people to have as little as possible to go on when we play them next fall." Because of the basic approach the Lee Trevino blasts out of a Sports Scene Saturday Baseball Reds vs.

"Probably the only negative thing of our spring practices this year has been the injuries," Osborne don't think any of the injuries are serious enough to hold anyone back next fall, but it's going to make things pretty thin With veterans Lee Kunz (linebacker) and Jeff Lee (split end) missing because they are competing with the track team, and the rash of bumps and bruises, the 18,000 fans who are expected to attend the game will see a bundle of new faces.

Goltz, a 20-game winner last season but 0-3 so far this year, will be out for an indefinite period after injuring his ribs during the bench-clearing brawl between the Twins and the California Angels. After failing to name a manager on Thursday as expected, the St. Louis Cardinals remain hopeful of selecting a replacement for Vern Rapp soon.

Defensive tackle Bill Barnett, quarterback Jeff Quinn and safety Dennis Payne have also been listed as doubtful, opening the door for several newcomers to get a chance to show what they can do under game-like pressure.

The talent may be new, but the formations they will line up in won't surprise anyone who has watched Nebraska football in recent years. Osborne has indicated he will play things close to the vest, meaning he won't show off any new offensive set including the split backfield or any different defensive schemes which the Player worries Trevino NEW ORLEANS (AP) Lee Trevino took a long look over his shoulder at his friend Gary Player, four shots back going into today's second round of the $200,000 New Orleans Open Golf Tournament: "He's gonna be a tough man to beat." Trevino said. "He is the perfect example of determination. He never gives up. "A lot of us out here, we start playing bad and we're Hollywooding it, back-handing putts and just trying to finish and get off the golf course go home.

And there's little Gary out there grinding awav. trying to hole it from the fairway for a 12. "He never quits on you, no matter what. "His motto is, 'It's never over until the last ball is in the He just keeps trying, just keeps coming at you. He's tough.

And he's tough to beat." Trevino took advantage of ideal plaving conditions and a manicured 7.080-vard Lakewood Country Club course to fire a spectacular. 7-under-par 65 that put him a single shot in front of the field and four ahead of Player. The little South American didn't make a boeev on his way to a 69. "I'm quite satisfied. he said.

"I didn't hole as manv putts as I have been lately, but I'm not complaining. It was a nice round of golf: Player came into this event with three consecutive comebacks under his belt and seeking to become only the third man in PGA Tour history to win four consecutive tournaments. "He's got It going and he's got all the confidence in the world," Trevino said. "Thev talk about pressure. He doesn't have anv pressure, because nobody expects him to win four in a row.

He can free-wheel it. He's gonna be a tough man to beat." Trevino's 35-foot birdie putt on the final hole lifted him a single stroke ahead of softspoken Mark Hayes, who would have had a share of the top spot but for a three-putt bogey on the 18th that left him with a 66. Tied at 67'were Ray Floyd. Bob E. Smith and Homero Blancas.

who one-putted 11 times. In the big group at 68 were former New Orleans Open winner Miller Barber and Andy Bean, a runner-up to Player last week in Houston. Tom Watson took a triple bogey-7 on the first hole and finished with a 73. The two-time winner this season was tied at that figure with defending titlist Jim Simons. Trevino missed only one green and made his only bogey there.

He birdied three of the par 5 holes, all with short putts, hit a sand wedge some 8 feet from the cup and claimed his other birdies on putts of 15. 25, 35 and 45 feet. "I've never won three in a row," Trevino noted, "but I won three in four weeks back in '71 and I know what Gary's feeling. It gives you a tremendous amount of confidence. "He's gonna be tough," Trevino repeated for the third time.

"We're good friends, have been for a long time. I 'm sure Gary would rather me break his string than anybody." "Would it bother you to break the string of an old friend, deprive him of winning four in a row?" somebody asked. "Not at all," replied Trevino. "It wouldn't bother me a bit." play because of various bumps and bruises include: safety Bobby Marks, fullback Jim Kelly, defensive end Jerry Roh, defensive back Dave Liegl, defensive tackle Bill Bryant, safety G. Searcy, defensive back Derron Heldt, and tight end John Fischer.

Several other players will be going despite some minor injuries. Despite the physical woes, Osborne doesn't anticipate having to call an early halt to the game. "We are very thin at linebacker and safety," Osborne said. "But we'd probably be able to juggle things around enough to finish the game and get a good look at people."

"At the five-eighths pole when the horse (Raymond Earl) appeared to be drawing awav, Jorge (Velasquez) asked him to run a bit," said 32-year-old trainer John Veitch. "He accelerated so quickly he was in high gear before he knew it so Jorge let him run and hit him a couple of times to keep him in line." The colt, by Raise A Native, raised his lifetime earnings to $574,126 with the win. his fourth in four starts. Alydar's lifetime record stands at nine victories and four places in 14 starts for owners Admiral and Mrs. Gene Markey.

The Markeys, who are in their 80s and have mobility problems, were able to watch their home-bred colt race for the first time as they sat in a station wagon on the far turn. After the race, thev were presented with the winning trophy by Kentucky Gov. Julian Carroll and congratulated Veitch and jockey Jorge Velasquez. Calumet Farms, which has an unprecedented six victories in the Blue Grass, is looking for its ninth Kentucky Deroy win with Alydar, who ships to Churchill Downs Friday morning in preparation for his duel with arch rival Affirmed, who wintered in California. "I don't know if we have had any advantage here in Kentucky," said Veitch.

"Affirmed is a very good horse, and I just don't know." Veitch. who has restored some of the stables' former glory with Alydar and filly champion. Our Mims, said he plans to work his Derby contender over 5-8ths Tuesday with a blowout Friday. "Actually, I purposely didn't have him as sharp today as when he ran in the Florida Derby and Flamingo," said Veitch.

(UPI) The white pillars with the bronze eagles that mark the entrance to Calumet Farms are scarcely eight furlongs from the entrance to Keeneland Race course, but it has taken the once-formidable racing establishment a long time to send a horse of Alydar's caliber to the picturesque track.

a the gleaming chestnut colt ran the easiest race of his 3-year-old campaign in demolishing a field of eight others in the Blue Grass Stakes, his final prep race for the May 6 Kentucky Derby. Alvdar. the co-favorite with Affirmed for the Derby, had little trouble from the weak field despite getting off to a crooked start, going on to win by Wk lengths, the second-largest margin of victory after Arts and Letters' 15-length win in 1969. The Keeneland record crowd of 22.512 roared in anticipation as Alydar, wearing the familiar devil's red-and-blue silks of Calumet, made his move going into the turn and blew past the tiring pacesetter Raymond Earl to finish in 1:49 3-5 over the l's-mile race. Raymond Earl held on to finish second, followed by Go Forth, who was a nose back.

Life has not been without frustrations for Cox, who grew up in Greer, S.C., a small town where everybody knew each other. He moved to Lincoln when he was 13.

"Everybody has frustrations," Cox says. "Mine were proving I could do certain By Chuck Sinclair StaH Sports Writer Helping people has been as much a part of Henry Cox's life as living itself. That's evident when his activities become known. He's the new program executive for the Northeast YMCA, coach of the University of Nebraska women's tennis team and was a probation officer for the county courts. "I have a long-standing philosophy," Cox offers.

"If somebody wants help, I'll help them out." Born without a left arm, Cox says there were many things things. Maybe I wouldn't be as good as some people, but everyone has different levels of accomplishment. "People always have to prove themselves, depending on the goals they have set for themselves," Cox says. "I always set high goals but I would have set high goals whether I had one arm or two." Cox gets a thrill out of watching people he's associated with accomplish their goals. "I've seen a lot of kids grow through interaction who are not really good athletes," he he was told he couldn't do when growing up.

But he accomplished all lie wanted to, with help from friends. "A lot of people helped me out when I was growing up, so working with people is a way I can repay that kindness," he sayd. Most of the restrictions Cox encountered were sports related. People thought he would be hurt easily. "You have to realize that everyone has limitations," Cox says.
