Ready For Kansas City
Nebraska's title-contending
thinclads figure highly in the
top of the statistics race in
the Big Eight. The Huskers
have one more meet in which
to prepare for the big fray at
Kansas City next weekend.
Tickets for this meet are
now on sale at the Auditor
ium's box office or by mail.
Seats for Saturday's finals
are $1, $2, and $3. All tick
ets for Friday's preliminaries
and semifinals, plus the fin
als in the broad jump, are
$1.
If the best performances by
Big Eight athletes to date
can be used as a yard
stick, no less than five of the
current standards could go.
In addition, five more times
and distances recorded so
far this year are better than
the winning efforts of last
year. What's more, experi
ence is back, too, with s i x
of the winners from last year,
including a pair of double win
n e r s, returning to defend
crowns.
Colorado's Jim Miller, who
took both hurdle events, and
Missouri's Robin Lingle, who!
won the 1,000-yard run in a
record tying 2:11.6 and the
mile, have both recorded par
ticularly good times in their
specialties so far this year.
The other four returning in
dividual champions Missou
ri's Gene Crews in the shot
and Charles Conrad in the
880, and Kansas' John Law
son in the two mile and Tyce
Smith in the high jump don't
lag far behind, either. In fact,
Crews has thrown the 16
pound ball a good 16 inches
farther than his winning toss
in 1964.
Using the pre-champion-ships
times as a standard, the
440-yard dash could be one
of the greatest on the card.
Iowa State's Steve Carson
and Oklahoma's Bill Calhoun
lead the list now that includes
Nebraska's Dave Crook, Mis
souri's Ron Peters, and Kan
sas' Ron Suggs.
Carson, in a February dual
against Wisconsin, toured the
course in :48.4, two-tenths
under the Big Eight record
and best indoor performance
ever. Equalling the old best
and curent championships'
standard the same weekend
against Oklahoma State, was
Oklahoma's little flyer, Cal
houn, who got his :48.6 on the
Sooner's Pneumonia Downs
layout.
Crook, winner of the quar
ter outdoors last year, has
come up with a :49.1, which
is under the winning :50 of
last year. Peters, third best
indoors last year, is just off
that winning pace with a
:50.1. Suggs, who would have
placed high outdoors in 1964
it ne naa touna tne nsht lane.
has a :50.3 to his credit so
far.
Oklahoma State's Dave
Perry, half of a good middle
distance brother duo John is
ranked in both the 880 a n d
1,000 has also hit the early
jackpot with his unsurpassed
1:10.4 for 600 yards.
Getting into the same act
his first time out was Miller,
the king of the Big Eight
hurdlers, who cleared the 60
yard low barriers against
Wyoming in a record and Con
ference best equalling :06.7.
Miller has a string of five
straight hurdle wins in Con
ference meets going for him,
including a sweep of both in
door and both outdoor races
last year.
Then comes Nebraska's
Charlie Green, a sophomore
jet, who has a good shot at
the league mark in the 60
dash. As a varsity competitor
this year, he has already
equalled the Conference rec
ord with a : 06.1 in a triangu
lar against Kansas State and
Drake.
Last year, competing unat
tached in an open meet, he
chased Olympic champion
Bob Hayes to his record :05.9
in New York's Garden and
was clocked in : 06.0 two
watches actually caught
Green in :05.9, too, as Hayes
won by an eyelash.
Giving Nebraska a great
one-two punch in the short
sprint is Lynn Headley, t h e
Big Eight's winner of the 100
yard dash last year with an
:09.5 and a member of the
Jamaica Olympic Games
team last fail. Headley made
it through the semifinals in
the 100-meters at Tokyo,
but didn't come back with
any hardware.
Another Oklahoma Stater,
Tom Von Ruden, could also
annex a new mark by meet
ing his best time in the 1,000,
a 2:10.8 against Missouri
this year. This trip for Von
Ruden was almost a full sec
ond under Lingle's winning
time of last year.
Von Ruden is also a mem
ber of Oklahoma State's mile
relay unit he teams with
Arnold Drake, John Winning
ham, and Dave Perry that
swept to the second-best ef
fort on the Big Eight indoor
books, a 3:16.4 last weekend
at the Michigan State Relays.
At this same meet, the
Cowboys, with their great
quartet of 880 men including
Von Ruden, the Perrys and
Jim Metcalf, ran the best in
door two-mile relay in B i g
Eight history, a 7:26.1. For
tunately for seven other
teams in the league, this race
is not on the 14-event slate
at the Auditorium.
A couple other of the
"bests" recorded so far are
real close to Big Eight stan
dards, both by Missourians.
Crews ' 59-feet-plus flip ot
the shot is just under eight
inches shy of the indoor mark
hung up by former Kansan
and Olympic Games gold-medalist
Bill Neider.
An unorthodox high jump
er, Steve Herndon, has logg
ed a 6-10 in an intra-squad
meet and a bona-fide 6-9 in
dual competition to come
close to the 6-10',4 record of
the Colorado leaper, Leander
Durley.
Both of these efforts are
considerably better than the
winning marks of last year
Crews' 57-11 in the shot and
Kansas' Tyce Smith's 6-6 in
the high jump.

Victory Hungry Huskers
Journey To Bowa State
Nebraska's chances for a
fourth place finish in the Big
Eight cage race were dim
med by Missouri, and now
they must try for fifth against
the only conquerer of Mizzou
at home this year, Iowa
State.
Iowa State would strength
en their hold on fourth place
with a win in Ames Saturday
The Huskers will have to
revert to the form that cap
tured their last two wins and
perhaps more as the Cyclones
have the best one-two scor
ing punch in the Big Eight.
Bob Ziegler is Iowa State's
outstanding 6'2" junior guard
who is averaging 18.9 points
a game. The second member
of their fine outside shooting
crossfire is another junior, Al
Koch. Koch is hitting at a
17.1 clip from his forward po
sition, good enough for fourth
in the conference.
Rounding out the Cyclone
lineup are three steady ball
players. Sophomore Dave
Fleming starts at center and
is a constant inside threat.
Starting at the other forward
is 6'4" Gary Jones, while
starting guard Bob Vander
Wilt is the only senior on the
first five.
If Nebraska has had a
tough time of it on the road
this season Iowa State has
been almost as bad at home.
The Cyclones have lost three
of five games at Ames and
the Huskers hope to take ad
vantage of this fact.
It miglht take somewhat of
a revision of style for Cipri
ano's crew because of close
similarity between the Iowa
State and Missouri teams.
If Brice Pearson's ankle is
ready for the game Nebraska
will have a shsht height ad
vantage. The Husekrs still
will have to rely on a strong
defense to pull out a win.
The two freshmen teams
will collide for the second
time this season in the pre-
Triangular Meet
Here Saturday
Nebraska's indoor track
team, shooting for another un
defeated season, complete
pre-Big 8 competition Satur
day at Memorial Stadium
with a rugged triangular as
signment. Coach Frank Sevigne's Hus
ers take on Iowa State and
Wyoming in a triangular con
test slated to start at 1:30
p.m. (field events). Track
events will commence at 2
p.m.
Also on the program will be
a dual meet between the IIus
ker Frosh and Nebraska Wes
leyan. Despite two lop-sided victo
ries to date, Sevigne is in the
floor-pacing mood after sur
veying the triangular field.
"This isn't going to be any
pushover by any means,"
Sevigne groans. "In fact, we'll
have to hustle to win. Both
Iowa State and Wyoming have
some outstanding individuals
and they both can score in
events where we do have
some strength, and where we
do NOT have any strength."
Previous competition tends
to back up Sevigne's concern.
Take the 440, for example.
Husker Dave Crook defend
ing Big 8 outdoor king last
week set a Nebraska school
and Stadium record with
: 49.1, shattering Gene Littler's
1941 mark. Well, Iowa State
can counter with Steve Car
son, who has been clocked In
:48.4 and :48.9 against Min
nesota and Wisconson competition.

Fan Emphasis Misplaced
"SPORTS EDITORS
NOTE: The following edi
torial was published Wednes
day, Feb. 10, In the Kansas
State Collegian. It Is print
ed here In its entirety. It is
reprinted to show a some
what different opinion on
how crowds should act at
basketball games than this
writer presented Wednes
day of this week.
Athletics are a beneficial
part of any college or uni
versity's program. They are
a necessary part of a high
school's activity program.
However, there has been
brought to light recently a
growing overemphasis in
this area. This is the em
phasis placed upon athletics
by the most vigorous of
participants, that of the
artisan spectator.
There is a growing ten
lency in many areas to be
leaguer persons officiating
an athletic event. The fans
take out their wrath caused
by a poor performance of
their team on the officials,
who could care less who
ends up winning the game.
The growing overem
phasis could be stemming
from the level of today's
youth athletics, such as Lit
tle League baseball or other
activities for junior high age
or younger athletes. This
overemphasis is brought
about by parents of partici
pants who emphasize that
their child must be on a
winning team.
This instills a spirit of
competition which is good,
but it also creates frustra
tion in a child who loses.
This frustration has been
sometimes vented upon the
officials by the losers. This
attitude carries over when
the athlete becomes a spec
tator. Every spectator has cer
tain rights. He has the right
to conduct himself at a
game in any manner he de
sires, as long as it doesn't
Infringe on another spec
tator's rights. A spectator
who attends a game for en
joyment purposes only, may
be offended by the raucous
actions of partisan fans.
Big Eight fans are becom
ing less raucous in recent
months. K-State fans have
conducted themselves rea
sonably well during what
is so far a frustrating sea
son. However, improve
ments could be made in all
Big Eight fieldhouses.
Spectatorizing Is great
sport. It is a good way to
relieve tensions inflicted
upon harried students by in
structors and vice versa.
Tensions would be better re
lieved by yelling for the
home team rather than at
unbiased officials. K-State
fans have done well, at
times, let us continue to
cheer long and loud and
constructively. dm.
