Star Of The Week:
Sharpe Rates Siebler
'One Of Loop's Best'
By Ken Pocras
Sports Staff Writer
They say sports writers
have no dangerous territory to
cover. I don't believe it.
When I was informed that I
was to interview Dwight Sieb
ler, ace pitcher on the Corn-
husker's baseball team who
has been selected for the
Daily Nebraskan Star of the
Week, I headed for the base
ball diamond. There, I was j
informed that Siebler was j
shagging fly balls in right j
field. I headed out to right j

field, dodging ground balls
and hot-shot liners.
Good Sophomore Year
Finally I made it and pro
ceeded with the interview.
"Hank," as he is known by
his teammates, played his
high school baseball for Oma
ha North. He was both a pitch
er and an outfielder. Last year
as a sophomore, Siebler had
a four won, two lost record.
His batting average was .333.
This year, Hank is off to an
excellent start with a record
of four wins nd no losses. His
earned run average is 2.7. Al
though he jokingly said he
was no power hitter, his bat
ting average this year is .480.
Dwight says that his biggest
thrill as a ball player came
last year when he pitched a
no-hitter against Oklahoma
although he lost the game, 1-0.
Coach Tony Sharpe said
that Siebler has "been goin'
real good. Right now, I think
he's one of the top pitchers in
the league. He is a consistent
pitcher. He may not win every
game but he doesn't have too
many bad days.
Dwight is a junior studying
In Business Administration.
After graduation, he plans to
play pro ball. Sharpe said that
''scouts are beginning to
watch him." They have good
reason.
Through Siebler's four
games, he has pitched 29 in
nings allowing 25 hits, 12 runs,
seven of them mearned, has
walked four, and struck out
Missouri Win Impressive
Hank's most impressive win
this season was his victory
over Missouri two weeks ago,
especially since Missouri had
been hitting the ball hard.
In last week's game with
Iowa State at Ames, he hit a
double and two singles in five
trips at bat. He also scored
three runs.

NCAA Tille:
South Dakota
Win Without
Even though Kansas State's
Wildcats didn't win the NCAA
championships, the midlands
can still boast a National Col
legiate Athletic Association
champion.
What's more, these college
basketball kings are a next
door neighbor of Nebraska's
CornhuskiiiS.
The team is, of course,
South Dakota University's
Coyotes who won the NCAA
small college division cham
pionship. The Coyotes did it on
the strength of a 20 game
winning streak and a 22 win
5 loss season's record.
Small Club
South Dakota won with a
starting combination of five
seniors, none of whom were
taller than 6'4". The fabulous
five were Clayton Kiewel,
fi'4"; Maury Haugland. 6'2";
Roger Nelson, 6'3"; Jimmie
Daniels, 6'1V2"; and Cliff Dan
iels, 5'11". These five started
every game, and they played
together from the time they
were freshmen.
Coach of the champs was
Dwane "Cloddy" Clodfelter
who had also been with the
Coyotes for four years. Clod

Winners; No New Marks
By Randall Lambert
Sports Staff Writer
Nebraska, spurred by the double wins of Mike Fleming and Keith Gardner, romped to
an easy triangular track win over Oklahoma State and Houston before an estimated
2,500 people in Memorial Stadium Tuesday. Nebraska racked up 84 points as compared to
43 points by both Oklahoma State and Houston.
Mike Fleming gives out with a grimace and a mighty
effort as he comes home ahead of the field in the half mile
in Tuesday's triangular. Fleming also won the mile as the
Huskers swept to victory over Oklahoma State and Houston
in Memorial Stadium.

years we developed not only

ing than the NCAA champion
shipand certainly longer
lasting."
North Central Champs
Besides the NCAA crown,
the Coyotes picked off the
North Central Conference
championship by winning all
12 of their conference games.
This was the first time in
the history of the loop that
the champion has been unde
feated in league play.
South Dakota earned their
victories on the basis of the
nation's 13th best defensive
average. The Coyotes held
their opponents to an average
of 57.8 points per game while
averaging 72.6 themselves.
Morningside scored the most
points against South Dakota,
getting 76. The only difficulty
was that the Coyotes got 100
in the same game.
Tough Schedule
South Dakota wasn't exact
ly cowardly when it came to
lining up a schedule for their
championship club. The Dako
tans collected all five of their
losses in their first seven
games against the likes of
Wisconsin, Missouri, Purdue,
Northwestern, and Regis. The
Regis defeat was avenged la
ter, however, and the Coy
otes have split with Wiscon
sin one game apiece in a two
year series.
In NCAA tournament play
against teams often averag
ing two or three inches taller
than they, South Dakota
edged Wartburg 67-65, clob
bered Knox 102-52 and beat
S.W. Missouri, Wheaton and
St. Michaels. St. Michaels had
averaged 71.4 points per game
before running into the Coy
otes in the national finals at
Evansville Illinois. They got

's Champs
Tall Man
53 against South Dakota's
tight man to man.
Defense Good
Wheaton, whom the Coyotes
met in the semifinals at Ev
ansville, had won 47 of their
last 48 games and had an of
fensive record of 87.7 points
per game, good enough to
rank them fourth in the na
tion. South Dakota shaved
that a little, taking a 64-60
win.
Southwest Missouri State,
the Coyote's quarterfinals op
ponent was rambling along at
the rate of 77 points per game
and had lost only one contest
over the regular season. South
Dakota held them to 58 points.
Daniels All-American
Among the records set in
their blistering season was the
40 point showing by Jimmie
Daniels in the finals against
St. Michaels. Daniels was
named to the Little All-American
team after that perform
ance, which may prove a scor
ing record that will stand for
some time.
Another record, hot quite as
impressive as Daniel's scor
ing holocaust, was established
by the Coyotes' center Roger
Nelson. Nelson finished in
tenth place in the nation in
the number of personal fouls
committed. He got 105 in 27
games for a 3.88 average. At
6'3", Nelson had a distinct
height disadvantage for a cen
ter which accounted for many I
of the bloopers. In spite of
his size, Nelson still averaged
seven rebounds a game.
One ex-Cornhusker played
for the Coyotes. Jim Thorn
former all-state center for
Lincoln University High and
a member of Jerry Bush's 55
56 hoop squad, lettered as a
junior on the South Dakota
squad. Thorn, who is 6'10",
will be heavily counted on
by Clodfelter next year if the
Coyotes are to repeat.

Fleming won tne 88U in
1:54.0 and the mile in 4:15.8.
Gardner scored his double
wins in the 120-yard high hur
dles and the 220 yard dash.
Gardner skimmed over the
highs in 14.1 and ran the 220
in 21.1. He would have been
under 21 seconds if he would
n't have misjudged the finish
line. He slowed down about
ten yards in front of the fin
ish thinking he had won. He
realized his mistake and put
on a last second spurt to nip
Orlando Hazley of Oklahoma
Etate.
Other Nebraska winners
were Keith Young who won
the 220-yard low hurdles in
24.6, Don Olson who threw he
shot 49 feet 5 inches, Bill La
Fluer who hurled the javelin
191 feet 2 inches, and Don
Phillips who won the broad
jump w ith a leap of 23 feet Zh
inches.
Turner Surprises
Nebraska fans were also
pleasantly surprised by Hcr
schel Turner. Turner, who has
only been working out for a
couple of weeks, high jumped
6 feet 3 inches for second
place. Looper of Oklahoma
State won the high jump with
a leap of 6 feet 3:,4 inches.
An anticipated possible rec
ord in the two-mile run didn't
materialize as Smart and
Darley of Houston clowned
their way to a poor 10:17.1
win. The two Houston runners
talked to each other through
out the race and clasped
hands to finish in a tie at the
end.
Pollard Second
Aubrey Doolcy of Oklahoma
State won the pole vault at 14
feet. Ken Pollard of Nebraska
finished second to Doolcy.
Houston scored another first
in the mile relay with a 3:21.6
time. The 440 yard relay was
won by Oklahoma State in
41.6. Nebraska's Keith Gard
ner and Keith Young had trou
ble on the first pass and Ne
braska had to drop out.
Dick Jahr of Nebraska was
beaten by half a step in the
100-yard dash as Orlando Haz
ley, who has been timed in 9.3,
won in 9.7.
Both Oklahoma State and
Nebraska were competing
without the services of two
of their stars. Oklahoma State
was without Ken Covert, their
220 and 440 speedster. Ne
braska ran without Joe Mul
lins. The Nebraska tracksters
will see their next action in
the Drake Relays this coming
weekend.

CONVENIENT
OPEN -7:30 A.M. -An Idea! Time To Get Trimmed
From The Outside
by randall lambert
The West Coast schools are generally thought of as being
the leaders in track and field. Southern California has won
more N.C.A.A. track crowns than any other school in the
country and year in and year out top marks are posted by
the Coast schools. The first four minute mile by an American
was posted by Don Bowden of California last year. Through
out the years other top marks have come from the Coast
schools and have resulted in the general consensus that the
Pacific Coast has the top track teams n the country.
Big Eight Challenges
This idea that prevails may be true, but the Big Eight
and other midland schools have lately began to challenge
the Pacific Coast schools. Evidence of this can be gained
by comparing some of the best marks in" the Midwest with
those of the Pacific Coast.
Orlando Hazley of Oklahoma State has done a 9.3 hundred
which ties the best Ray Norton of San Jose State has done.
Both of these marks were with a wind. Without the wind they
have both done the hundred in 9.5 as has Dee Givens of
Oklahoma University. Norton has also run the 220 in 20.5
which is better than the 20.9 by Ken Covert of Oklahoma
State. Covert has toured the 440 in 47.5 as compared to 47.0
by Ted Smith of Southern Oklahoma.
Sophomore Norman Lloyd of Stanford has run a 1:49.2
half-mile which is far below any time in the Midwest. The
mile time of 4:08.2 by Gail Hodgson of Oklahoma is topped
by a 4.05.8 by Don Bowden of California. The 2-mile time by
N.C.A.A. champion Max Truex of Southern California is also
below any time in the Midlands.
Gardner Second
Nebraska's Keith Gardner is second by a tenth of a sec
ond to Chuck Cobb of Stanford in the 120-yard high hurdles.
Cobb has run the highs in 13.9 and Gardner has been timed
in 14.0. Eddie Dove of Colorado has the fastest time in the
nation in the 220-yard low hurdles with a time of 22.7.
Oklahoma State has a 1:22.9 clocking in the 880-yard relay
which is easily below the 1:25.4 mark set by Occidental on
the Coast. Nebraska's time of 41.3 in the 440-yard relay is also
below the times of the West Coast teams.
Weather Advantage
Although many of the times listed by Pacific Coast
schools surpass Big Eight times, it must be remembered
that West Coast trackmen can work outdoors the year round
and are in mid-season condition when Big Eight schools are
still working indoors. It is true
i indoors during the winter, but
rack is much different than
track.
