Honored

"All the years of hard work
are finally worthwhile." These
are the words of Harold
Thompson, one of the recipi
ents of this week's Star of
the Week award.
Thompson and Husker
teammate Jim Raschke are
co-holders of the award for
this week, given to them for
their outstanding perform
ances in both winning their
weight divisions in the B i g
Eight Wrestling tournament
last weekend. The wins helped
boost the Huskers to a fourth
place finish in the Big Eight.
For Thompson, a 5-11 senior
from Osage, la., this was his
first year as a winner of any
major college tournament,
and the first time he h a s
placed in the Big Eight.
Raschke, the 230-pound heav
yweight, has won several
large tournaments and placed
second- in the Big Eight as a
sophomore and fourth as a
junior.
Thompson has been wrest
ling for 15 years, starting as
the result of a fight in the
third grade. Raschke has been
competing for about eight
years. He got his start as a
freshman in high school at
Omaha North.
Rasche is a senior in Teach
ers College and plans to teach
Zoology and coach wrestling
and football upon graduation.
Thompson is a senior in
physical education and has
been married for six weeks.
After graduation he hopes to
go to the Olympic Games m
1964.
In a joint interview, they
both expressed the opinion
that Coach Bob Mancuso is
probably more responsible for
their and the team's accom
plishments this year. They
both felt that knowing that
the team was behind them
100 percent was a big help.
Coach Mancuso says that he
has always thought that the
boys had a Big Eight cham
pion in them but it was up to
them how hard they wanted
to work for it. "They are
both two of the hardest
workers I have ever coached,"
he added.
Both said, ''It's nice to win
the Big Eight, but you can't
get excited about it because
tne National is the big thing."
The NCAA meet is Mar. 22-29
at Stillwater.
Teammates Mike Nissen
and Jim Faimon drew compli
ments from them for their
performances in the Big
Eight.
