SPORTS BRIEFSE From United Press International
Former KC manager Freytakes over helm at Chicago
CHICAGO - New York Mets first-base coach Jim Frey has been named as the new manager of the Chicago Cubs, replacing fired manager Lee Elia.
Frey, 51, had coached the Mets for the past two seasons and formerly managed the Kansas City Royals. Terms of the contract, announced yesterday, were not revealed.
Charlie Fox, who was appointed interim manager of the club after the firing of Elia last August, will be moved to the front office, where he will act as a consultant to general manager Dallas Green, the Cubs said.
Frey was a first-base coach and hitting instructor for the Mets for the past two seasons, during which time the Mets finished in the basement of the AAA.
Prior to joining the Mets, Frey was manager of the Royals, who led the club to a World Series appearance against the Philadelphia Phillies, managed at the time by Green. The Philies won the best-of-seven series, 4-2.
Royals ask waivers on Steve Renko
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Kansas City Royals have asked for waivers on pitcher Steve Renko to allow the team to give him his unconditional release, a team spokesman said yesterday.
Renko, a Kansas City, Kan., native who lives in the suburb of Overland Park, Kan., had a 6-11 record with a 4.30 ERA with the Royals this season, allowing 144 hits, 63 runs, 58 earned runs, 36 bases on balls and 54 strikeouts.
Renko, 39, a former University of Kansas baseball player, has spent 15 years in the major leagues, with $7 \frac{1}{2}$ of those years with the Montreal Expos.
He was signed by Kansas City as a free agent Feb. 9 to a one-year contract through 1983 with an option for 1984.
Jets' owner declares move to Jersey
NEW YORK - Club owner Leon Hess yesterday for the first time admitted that the New York Jets would cross the Hudson River and play their home games in New Jersey next year.
Hess, however, pledged to return to New York at some future time if the city agreed to build a new stadium for the club and agreed to two other concessions.
Although the jets had acknowledged for some time that the team was going to be moved to the Meadowlands, which also is home to the New York Giants of the National Football League, this was the first time that Hess mentioned the move publicly.
Hess listed the following three provisions to bringing the Jets back to New York:
- The building of a first-class professional stadium.
- Having securely in place the necessary permits, detailed plans, authorizations, approvals and financing before Feb. 1, 1986.
- Guaranteeing the Jets occupancy starting in the 1989 season under a lease equitable to the city and to the Jets.

Big 8 roundup Cowboys looking for first win over NU since'61
The last time Oklahoma State beat Nebraska on the gridiron, the Cornhuskers were a perennial second-division finisher in the Big Eight.
By United Press International
BUT DEVANEY HASN'T coached a game since the 1973 Orange Ball. Tom Osborne replaced him that year and has continued the football team's high standards with 10 consecutive bowl appearances, nine consecutive UPI Top 10 finishes and nine Big Eight championships.
Devaney went on to become a state legend. And now a building on the Nebraska campus bears his name, the Bob Devaney Sports Center Arena, the Devaney gymnastics, track, swimming and wrestling teams defend the school colors.
That was in 1961, which was the last time Nebraska endured a losing season. The Cornhuskers had gone seven consecutive years to that point without posting a winning record, and they were not going to be concerned with the direction of the program that he hired a new football coach — Bob Devaney.
And Osborne has on his hands what many long-time Nebraska observers, including Devanyne, consider the best football team in school history. The team was an unanimous vote outspected the opposition 298-6, and have been the unanimous selection atop
Nebraska has come a long way since that 14-6 loss in Oklahoma State's homecoming game back in 1961. The Cowboy coach that day, Cliff Speagle, was replaced two years later by Phil Cutchin . . . who was replaced by Floyd Gass, who was replaced by Dave Smith, who was replaced by Jim Stanley, who was replaced by Jimmy Johnson.
STANLEY TIED NEBRASKA 17-17 in Stillwater in his first season in 1973, but other than that victory the Cowboys have lost 20 times.
the UPI coaches' rankings the last two weeks.
Johnson has not even been close to Nebraska in his first four years at the Oklahoma State helm, losing consecutive by scores of 36.4, 48.7, 54.7 and 48.10.
"All I recall is that none of the four was much of a contest," Johnson said. "They have dominated us more than anybody on our schedule. There were times we felt there was a chance they could beat them . . . but we also felt they were probably the best team we played each year."
Johnson currently has the best team of his five-year tenure and conceivably one of Oklahoma State's best teams in a few decades. For just the second time this year, the Cowboys have a 4+ start. The Cowboys debated in the UPI ratings this week at No. 20.

Considering Studying Abroad?
HONORS STUDENTS
Prof. Anita Herzfeld, director of Study Abroad Programs will give a talk for interested honors students Monday, Oct. 10, at 7:00 p.m. in Nunemaker Center.
Nebraska Saturday in the first meeting between two unbeaten Big Eight football teams since 1975 The Cornhuskers enter the game with a 15-game record. They win the nation and as the national leader in scoring, rushing and total offense.
"I can't control how good Nebraska plays," Johnson said. "We can only control how we play. If our players give 100 percent, we'll be satisfied with our team. But we're going to have to hit on all eight cylinders to perform effectively.
"Nebraska is impressive in all areas. They've got an offense averaging 60 points and 600 yards a game. This is the best Nebraska team I've seen and the highest league team I've ever seen. They could be one of the best teams of all time."
IN OTHER GAMES, No. 7 Oklahoma meets No. 2 Texas in Dallas. Kansas is at Iowa State, and Colorado hosts Missouri. Kansas State is idle.
The Sooners may be the No. 7 rated team in the country, but they haven't looked too impressive along the way. After a 24-14 home loss to No. 9 Ohio State, Oklahoma struggled to beat Tulsa 28 and Kansas State 29-10. The Sooners allowed 18 fourth-quarter points to Tulsa and had to come back from a 10-0 first-quarter deficit against Kansas State.
"Right now we're not a very good offensive football team," said Switzer, whose Sooners have turned the ball over nine times in the last two weeks.
Colorado is looking to get back on the winning track after falling 23-7 to Notre Dame. The Buffaloes had defended the No. 1 seed, but the State 38-14 before losing to Notre Dame.
"FOR THREE CONSECUTIVE weeks we've played with a lot of enthusiasm and emotion," Colorado coach Bill McCartney said. "But whether we can do it again this week remains to be seen."
