Gymnast Williams
Earns Star Award
Senior Captain Places High in Meet
After 'Calving' Chores During Week
By BOB RAY
Sports Staff Writer
Husker gymnastics captain
Chuck Williams, this week's
star of the week, may have
gotten a slow start with the
team, but he ' really moved
once he got goin.
In the All-College Invita
tional gymnastics meet last
weekend at Boulder, Wil
liams entered three events
and placed in all three. He
took third in the thirty-foot
rope climb, fourth in free ex
ercise, and third in tumbling.
He greatly aided the Nebras
ka point total as the Huskers
copped the All-Collegf crown.
"I came, out seriously for
gymnastics in my sophomore
year," says Chuck. "That
year I was second high point
man for the squad. Last year
I was second again, this year
I was third competition's
rougher," he added.
Coach Jake Geier said,
"Wiily is a consistant, solid
competitor. We couldn't win
without him. He always exe
cutes a perfect routine, even
under pressure."
Alnsworth Product
Willy graduated in 1957
from Alnsworth High School
with two letters in basketball,
three in tracks three in foot
ball, and no experience in
gymnastics. When he came
to Nebraska: he enrolled in
Agricultural Extention and
went out for gymnastics "Be
cause I wanted to go out for
some sport, and I was at-
tracted to gymnastics," W;
liams recalls.
He had already taught him
self front handsprings, so the
first night of practice Larry
Brown, a tumbler, had him
doing back handsprings.
Today tumbling, the ballet
like free exercise, and the

University team Champion
ship in intramural handball
with a 13 point margin over

Theta took fourth with 57
followed by Sigma CW with
30. ; : J : .-: ;-

thirty-foot rope cl'mb are the
only events Willy competes in
because he doesn't feehe's
had time to become familiar
with the other, apparatus
sinr.e he's been in college.
Pole Vaulting Helps
Williams thinks his rope
climbing is helped by the
fact that he was a pole vault
er in high school. He was
third in the 1957 "Class "B"
meet (using a steel pole).
Then too, in putting up hay
each summer, when a load
of bluestem falls off the buck
hoist on him, he pulls him
self out of the way on a rope.
Ninety days of that should
put anybody in shape for
rope competition.
Williams' advice for people
who want to climb the thirty
foot rope: "Lean back, and
roll your' shoulders."
Williams, who is engaged
to Alpha Phi Marilyn Moore,
says he'll spend six months
in the service after gradua
tion, then go back to work
his father's 11,000 acre Here-ford-and-hay
.ranch.
Went Home to Help
Chuck went home the week
before the All-College Meet to
help his father, who slipped a
disk, with the calving. He got
snowed in and didn't make it
back to Lincoln until just be
fore the meet.
"Six days without a workout
was almost too much. "I only
pulled three calves, he said,
"I guess if more cows had
needed my amateur obstetri
cal help I'd have been in M
ter shape for the meet."
Williams old rope climbing
record is 4.6 seconds. He did
it last Saturday in 4.7.

Taking over for the late A.
J. Lewandowski as athletic
business manager is Bill
Fisher, who thinks that ath
letics at Nebraska are on the
way up.
Fisher came to Nebraska
from an industrial position
and served as the University
Internal Auditor before tak
ing his present position.
"As far as spectator ap
peal, the pro-type of football
has ft over college," says
Fisher.
"However," Fisher contin
ues, "with a winning football
team, attendance will be no
problem at Nebraska, as we
have a hard-core loyal fan
who buys a ticket, win or
lose.
"If we ean add one more
fan who buys a ticket with a
winner to every three of the
hard-core type, we can fill
our present stadium," says
Fisher.
FISHER
"In addition to the won-Ioss
record, lack of general fan
interest in the sport, and the
price of the ticket result in
football supporting all other
sports programs," he stated.
If all sports absorbed their
share of athletic administra
tive overhead, it would be
difficult for any sport except
football to show a profit, re
gardless of attendance, ac
cording to Fisher.
Concerning athletics' gross,
Fisher says, "If all present
facilities are used to the sat
uration point, athletics' gross
take would run around one
million dollars with a $200,-
000 profit available for ath
letic scholarships and other
purposes.
Fisher states that without
outside contributions scholar
ships would take at least
$160,000. Under the best con
ditions outside contributions
are necessary if we are to
maintain a competitive re
cruiting program and set
aside money to improve our
physical plant.
The knothole program in
football is an excellent way
to generate early interest in
football and stimulate attend
ance, he pointed out. ,
"My new job has been
made easier by the continu
ing loyalty of the crews who
handle the football and bas
ketball crowds," concluded
Fisher. 1
Winning the Madison Coun
ty, Illinois, table tennis tour
nament in the doubles divi
sion was Fisher's principal
athletic accomplishment, he
related smilingly. He was
also a professional pianist at
one time.
Returning Lettermen, Transfer, Soph
Bolster Netters' Aim to Improve Mar
By AL SPORE
The 1962 Nebraska tennis
prospects reported for opening
drills last - week. Three re
turning lettermen, several
good sophomore prospects
and the addition of transfer
Jim Fowler compose this
year's roster. -
Lettermen Dave Wohlfarth,
Jack Lausterer, and Tom
Johnson who played one,
two and three, respectively,
last spring will lead the. Hus
ker hopes to improve on their
1-11 dual record and last place
finish in the conference last
year.
Three sophomores, Dick
Gibson, Rich Harley, and
Russ Daub, along with for
mer Wesleyan ace Fowler,
will provide plenty of am-
petition for the three return
ees for the top five spots.
Ralph Queen and Roy How
lett of Coach Ed Higginboth
am's last year squad also are
returnees.
Coach Higginbotham will
begin his 12th year as Husker
tennis coach. The assistant
physical education professor
came to Nebraska in 1943 and
piloted the NU tennis team
to their highest Big Eight fin
ish with a 4th place in 1959.
The Huskers have a lighter
schedule this year with only
ten duel meets slated and
trips to only Omaha and Kan
sas State, plus the Big Eight
meet at Lawrence, Kan. The
usual southern swing for the
netters was called off due to
the late NU spring vacation.
The '62 schedule:
April (F) Wichita In Lincoln
April 11 (W) CreiKhton in Lincoln
April 13 (F) Open
April 14 S) Kansas State at Manhattan

OF MONACO
Amid the fleshpots of the Riviera
lives a quiet American. He neither
drinks nor gambles. Yet at 34, he
heads a munitions empire that
blankets the world. In this week's
Post, you'll meet the mysterious
Mr. Cummings. Learn why he's got
a soft spot for two notorious dicta
tors. How he once sold Nazi ma
chine guns back to the Germans.
And why he says, "It's not my job
to be a moral judge of humanity."

the 1500-meter freestyle, 220
yard free style, and the 100
yard freestyle.
Lodwig's three wins were
all new records for the Husk
ers. The former Omahan took
the 1500 in 19:29.4, the 220 in
2:08.9 and the 100 in :51.1.
Water'Basketball
Entries for shallow water or
deep water basketball teams
are due in room 102, Physical
Education Building not later
than noon, April 10.
Swimming permits must be
obtained from Student Health
for a contestant to be eligible.
All varsity swimming squad
members are eligible.
What does it take to build
a winning basketball team in
intramurals? I suppose every
team on campus asks this
once during a season. In my
opinion, these
are the ingre
dients. The f i r s t
;hing required
is selection of
a man on
your team
who knows
Many
teams miss
f u n d a-
mentals and lack coordina
tion and for this reason, they
are not a consistent winner.
The second thing that must
be done is have team mem
bers who are willing to put
in a little time practicing and
have the ability to listen in
order to correct their faults.
This fact alone may bring a
team from a second rate spot
to a championship. Knowing
what the other players are
doing is important in offense
as well as defense.
A good example of this is
a little town which has a
Class A City League. Clatonia
won the championship the
past two seasons prior to
this one, and wound up sec
ond this year. They had a
minimum of material but a
maximum of practice.
The third thing a team
must do is play good competi
tion outside the regular intra
mural schedule. . Take a check
of the top ten teams and
you'll find Navy R.O.T.C.,
Sigma Phi Epsilon, Kappa
Sigma, Dental College, and
Sigma Chi had tough road
schedules playing B teams
throughout the state, thus
five of the top six teams had
more competition than just in
tramurals. Fourth, the material pres
ent on the team must be such
as to handle all situations.
Height as well as shooting
ability must be present. De
velopment of shooting must
come from the individual,
height is blessed to some and
not to other teams. This com
bination must be present to
be a top winner however.
Last, attitude is the most
important factor. Great bas
ketball playurs will be just
mediocre if they have the
wrong attitude. Cooperation
and a willingness to play to
gether are the inseparable
items few teams have.
A winning team isn't
blessed to a fraternity, an in
dependent, or a Selleck team,
it's built out of hard work of
the individuals that are play
ing together for a common
goal winning.
