Ths Daily Nebraskan Thursday, March 3, 1966 Page 4 "1 oris James Pearse, sports editor Records To Fall In Swim Meet Kansas City, Mo., March 3 -Oklahoma, with the top two relay units and five lndivida al-event leaders, ranks as the favorite at this weekend's Big Eight Conference swimming championships in the Sooner's home pool. The favorite's tag is nothing new for the Oklahomans, win ners of the last 11 straight team titles in the Conference. However, Oklahoma can ex pect to be pushed by Kansas in particular, along with Iowa State and Nebraska, in the meet which begins today. Times in the dual-meet in dividual events indicate that most of the Conference's re cords are in jeopardy. So far this year, Conference d u a 1 meet records have been set in eight events, with the five Oklahomans Charles Scho ber, Jack Hove, Jim Manring, Les Mason, and Doug Heller son leading the way. Schober holds a share of the all-time Big Eight dual best in the 200 individual medley with a fellow sopho more, Jim Cotsworth of Iowa State. Both have a 2:05.0 clocking. Schober joined Ma son, Hove and Bob Welty to come up with an all-time Con ference best in the 400 med ley relay, 3:43.3. Hove then joined Terry Johnson, Bill Engle, and Larry mcolai to set a Conference low in the 400 freestyle, 3:18.5. Kansas might have the best balance of all, with at least one individual ranked in each event, including Bill Johnson, who shows a 2:04.9 in the 200 backstroke, almost a full sec ond under the listed Confer ence championships record and a league dual-meet mark for both 20 and 25 yard pools Cotsworth also shows a best of 2:01.7 in the 200 butterfly a mark which is almost three seconds under the current Conference meet mark and a dual-meet best for 25-yard layouts. His 5:05.3 in the 500 freestyle came in a short tank, thus, even though it is only third best in the rank' ings, it is a 20-yard record The only other individual- event leader is Kansas State s Tom Hanlon, who has moved to the top in the 100 sprint, where Hove is the defending champion. Hanlon shows a :48.8 in a 20-yard pool, a re cord. This mark also equals the previous best for a 25' yard pool. Hanlon is a defin ite challenger to Hove in tne 50, too. Earlier this year, the Kansas Stater splashed to a :27.0 in the 60 freestyle, an NCAA dual-meet mark. Nebraska's main hopes lie with Mike Jackson, second ranked breaststroker, the same event in which Colora do's Terry Danko represents the Buffs' main hope. Ne braska will also get points out of Keefe Lodwig in the 50 and 100 freestyle and Dave Frank in the individual medley. Oklahoma State and Mis souri, now in their second year with an intercollegiate program, both have shown vast improvement. The Cow boys show ranked individuals with David Johnson in the short freestyle events and George Phillips in the indi vidual medley and backstroke. Missouri's top performers, just out of the ratings, are freestyler John Putnam and butterflyer Rich Herman.

The new bowl womd be called the "Olympic Bowl". The format proposes a game between the s e c o n d-place team in the Big Ten and the leading team in the Big Eight. Robert Ilyland, who pro posed the gam e, suggests that the new Busch Memorial Stadium in St. Louis be used as a site for the contest. Hyland, vice-president of CBS Radio and General Man ager of KMOX, calls for the gate receipts and radio and television rights be donated to the United States Olympic fund. The proposal has been wired to Big Eight Executive Direc tor Wayne Duke and Big Ten Commissioner William R. Reed. The Big Ten customarily sends its number one team to the Rose, while the Big Eight has no post-season restric tions. TOM BAACK . . . puts in two points as Kansas State's Ron Paradis attempts to stop shot. Nebraska won 79-69. The Sporting Life Yell Squad Applications Due Yell squad applications are due Friday in the Nebraska Union student activities office. Tryouts for students inter ested in the squad will be held April 5 and 7. Practice ses sions before the tryouts be gin next Tuesday. By James Pearse The following letter was received at the sports desk March 2. Gentlemen: After reading "The Sporting Life" in Monday's paper, I feel that it's about time the University woke up and be gan to appreciate how fortunate we are in having an ex cellent football and basketball team! Now that I think about it, I'm sure the basketball play ers must feel they are completely forgotten. Sure, the foot ball team brought Nebraska to the limelight all fine and well. But it's about time something was done to make our unsung heroes of the court feel like they aren't "doing it alone." In reply to Larry Eckholt's article that no one greeted the Huskers on their return trip to Lincoln, how was any one to know when they would return? Also, nothing was said about the time the players left for Lawrence. I must admit I was very disgusted as I watched the Huskers fall to the blood-thirsty Hawks. It seemed that they just weren't clicking as a team as they usually do. Coming from a small town that had a team with almost a perfect record (of losses), I have seen real rivalry and excitement over all the games. When I came to the U., it was indeed depressing and surprising to see so little inter est over a team rated in the top ten. Perhaps the students of the University can show their real spirit by packing the Coliseum for the remaining games. You can be sure I'll be there- Sincerely, (Miss) Regis Klein Comment: Miss Klein's response to "The Sporting Life" and to Mr. Eckholt's letter suggests a very interesting point. Most of us students at the University are from Nebras ka. Most of us are from rural Nebraska. But regardless of whether or not we are from a rural or urban background, most of us 'have attended high schools where the spirit, "rivalry, and excitement over all games" run at a fever pitch. When we come to the University, however, the sophisti cation and "very adult" atmosphere surrounding the stu dent causes him to have second thoughts about spontaneous out pourings of emotion. Before long, the students have forgotten what spirit is. And because of this, we simply don't know how to react when our team gives us a supreme effort. Miss Klein has recognized this problem, and solved it. It Isn't a matter of "knowing" how to react, it's merely a matter of reacting. Spirit is spontaneous. It comes from within the individu al. Sophistication has no place at a basketball game, or football game, or any other sporting event. Emotion plays a big role in sports, especially in bas ketball where the fans and players are packed into a com pact area. When fans commit themselves to their team as Miss Klein has ("You can be sure I'll be there!") that is when spirit happens, for that is when the fan becomes a work ing member of his school and team. Ahearn Fieldhouse Will Be Site If Playoff Needed Nebraska Sports Infermation Nebraska definitely is n o t counting chickens before they're hatched. But NU Tick et Director Jim Pittenger has announced the ticket proced ure should a basketball play off for the NCAA berth be come necessary Nebraska and Kansas have 11-1 Big 8 records and both will be favored to win their remaining games KU has Kansas State at Manhattan and Colorado at Lawrence; NU has Colorado at Boulder and Oklahoma State at L i n coln. "We're aware that the sea son is not over and our imme diate objectives are winning at Colorado and beating Okla homa State here," Pittenger said. "But since there will be very little time between the end of the season (Monday, Mar. 7) and the playoff (Wednesday, Mar. 9), if one becomes necessary, we must get started on a policy now." Big 8 Executive Director Wayne Duke announced in Kansas City Wednesday after noon that if a playoff is need ed, it will be held Wednesday night at Kansas State's 12,500 seat Ahearn Fieldhouse in Manhattan. It was also announced that Nebraska and Kansas each will receive 4,000 tickets (all unreserved), with Kansas State allotted the remaining be reserved, Kansas State of ficials will block off one side of Ahearn for Nebraska s t u dents and fans and one side for Kansas Students and fans, with the ends saved for hold ers of the K-State allotted tickets. Pittenger said Wednesday that his office will accept or ders for playoff tickets imme diately, on a contingency ba sis. All' tickets are priced at $3.00 (all general admission) and there is a 25c mailing fee. If special delivery mail ser vice is desired, the fee if 50c. Pittenger stressed that cash orders will not be accepted because of refund problems in the event no playoff is held, and said checks will be re quired with all orders. "We will return checks im mediately after Monday night if there is no playoff," Pitten ger said. . The NU ticket director said that all ticket orders will be filled before Monday night if they are received before then, and that they will be mailed Monday night, March 7, im mediately following the game with Oklahoma State if there is going to be a playoff. Tickets will also be avail able over the counter at t h e NU Coliseum ticket office Monday night after the Okla homa State game, and on Tuesday and Wednesday, if there is going to be a playoff. The procedure again: 1. Orders are being accept ed immediately- 2. AH tickets (unreserved, except for side of Fieldhouse) cost $3.00, with 25c for mail ing or 50c for mailing if spe cial delivery is desired. 3. If there is a playoff, tick ets will be mailed Monday night; if not checks will be re turned. Cash not accepted. 4. Tickets on sale at the Coliseum Monday night after final game, and on Tuesday and Wednesday.
