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.

New
Bowl?
KMOX radio in St. Louis,
Missouri has proposed a new
post-season bowl game.
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.

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

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

night at Kansas State's 12,500

Pittenger said Wednesday
that his office will accept or

diately, on a contingency ba

$3.00 (all general admission)
and there is a 25c mailing fee.

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
