Page 4 The Daily Nebraskan Thursday, April 7; 1966 vL onion By Kellcy Baker Sports Editor Take eight sophomores, sprinkle literally with talent and add a junior for experience. You have the Nebraska golf squad. Charlie Borner, Bob Lau, Chuck Sweetman, Nick West, Galen Ulstrom, Bill Messick. Steve Bock and Chris Nelson may not have tasted Big Eight competition yet, but they are veterans of the golf circuit. Coach Harry Good states, "You might say that our team has a rash of sophoinoritis. We have some top play ers and we have consistency, but the boys must definitely become more mature before reaching their maximum po tential." Discounting their youth however, NU can field a crew of very experienced contenders. "Golf in the last several years has become so popular that more and more boys with better backgrounds are trying out for the team," the coach continued. Good doesn't harbor any first place hopes for the team this year and cautiously states, "We finished sixth last year, but I think we definitely have a chance to move up a notch or two this season. You can't judge how well the team will do this year by comparing it with the last year's Big Eight teams because the sophomores of the other schools may be equally as good." The quality which differentiates this year's golfers from those of years past is their dedication and determination. "A number of the boys are definitely more conscientious in practice and will put in many more hours hitting and shagging balls. This group has spent more time on the practice tee than any golfers I've ever had. There is no question that they know more than any group of golfers I've worked with before. "The golfers I have now are willing to work and work till they have their shots down pat and this is the way you're going to perfect your game. You have to get out and hit with a club till you have mastered it. In fact, a good player will practice three or four times as much as he will compete." Number one man on the squad right now is Charlie Borner, a familiar name to Capitol City fans. Borner was the Nebraska high school champion as a junior and senior and won the Lincoln City championship in 1963. In the same year he finished second to Bob Astleford in the Ne braska State Amateur Tournament. Lau is also a well known name to Lincoln enthusiasts. Last summer he made it all the way to the semifinal round in the Trans-Miss Tournament in Kansas City and was a contender for the '65 state title till the final day of competition. The golfers will have a chance to prove themselves next week when the squad swings south for a rigorous seven day tour of five universities. The first two will be the biggest ones as the golfers will square off with Okla homa State and Oklahoma. OSU, winner of the conference the past eight years, will provide the toughest competition and Oklahoma should be almost as rough with Kansas State figuring as a good contender for third. Personally I'm less apprehensive than the coach and see a probable third or fourth place finish with an out side shot of winning the runner-up spot. True, the squad is young, but playing experience will add maturity and skill to the already seasoned players. Easter vacation will provide the clues to the question of a first or second divi sion finish.

The six-man squad traveled to Omaha for the match with the Bluejays. Playing in 38 degree, windy weather, the Huskers won four of the six contests. Coach Harry Good ex pressed pleasure with the win but warned that the difficult competition was yet to come. He said that the players would meet much tougher schools on next week's road trip. "Oklahoma State and Oklahoma will probably give us the stiff est fight," he stated. Bob Lau and Chuck Sweet man each turned in scores of 76 while Nick West and Bill Messick shot 79's. Charlie Borner was unable to make the trip because of an exam.

This is the year-long endur ance test to see how many of the na tion's best Nebraska can sign. Each of the sports at the University has its own recruiting policy. Football, basketball and track have the biggest re cruiting operations at Nebraska. While Nebraskans are busy watching the Huskers during the regular season the coaching staff must watch the prep cir cles in order to judge what high school players will be contacted. This is done a number of ways: . 1. The Athletic Department receives a number of newspapers around the coun try. The coaches study the sports pages of these papers and can tell if a boy is outstanding in that area. 2. Many of the coaches have 'con tacts' from previous positions who keep them up to date on football stars in their area. 3. A more elaborate 'contact' is the Directory of Texas High School Football Players that is published informing the nation's coaches of the prospects in the Texas high school program. Once the name of a boy who has shown potential is received he is sent a questionaire which deals with the boy's athletic ability and his desire to attend college. The football office alone estimates that it sends out nearly two thousand of these forms a year. If a boy shows an interest in Husker athletics and can prove that he can satis factorily perform at the University then he is given 'the full treatment'. The best of the possible recruits are thoroughly screened before they are per sonally contacted by the coaches. A boy is requested to send films of him in ac tion and the coaching staff consider his capabilities and decide if he is to be con tacted. . If a player is given a high rating by the staff then this person probably will be visited by a member of the staff. Some of the most sought-after players are brought to the University campus for a week-end and are given a first hand look at the University. All of this is closely watched by regulations set down by the NCAA and the Big Eight conference it self. Basketball operates much in the same way. A quick look through the binder of names who have been contacted by the basketball office shows that 561 high school cagcrs have been contacted this year. Every state except Hawaii, Utah, New Hampshire and Maine has been included in recruiting correspondence. Ohio leads the number of boys contacted with 119 questionaires sent out. Eighty-nine letters were sent to boys in Illinois; California prepsters received 58 letters. Indiana, Pen nsylvania and Michigan were contacted at least 40 times. Nineteen Nebraska boys were sent let ters this year. But the fact that five of the top basketball players in the state, including Bob Gratopp, Mike Aspen and Doug Andersen, have already signed with Nebraska is an indication that a winning season is the best recruiting policy to have. Frank Sevignc's eastern background has provided him with a number of con. tacts when recruiting for the track team. His success as a coach Is the drawing card to Nebraska. A contact in Jamaica was instrumental in bringing Ray Harvey and Lynn Headley to the Sand Hills of Nebraska from the sandy beaches of the West Indies. Orval Borgialli sends out nearly 200 in quiries to prospective wrestlers, primarily to boys from the immediate area. This year his recruiting has extended to Flor ida. Then there is the classic example of the boy who wants to play football at Ne braska so bad that he hitch-hiked all the way from Washington, D. C. to prove him self capable of playing for the Huskers. This is, of course, Langston Coleman, Nebraska's great defensive end who was encouraged by Ted Sorcnsen, assistant to President Kennedy, to give Nebraska a try. This proves that recruiting is a two sided operation. Churchich To Be MATT HELM SHOOTS THE WORKS!
