Page 4 The Daily Nebraskon Friday, February 14, 1964 ET3 etr n H n PI H 0 iniQoiicycads m mom From the Stick by rick akin The Price is Reasonable Not meaning to turn into a gallant crusader, I must opine that Editor Morris Is leaning off first base too much and should get back on It or get picked off. Are ticket prices too unreasonable as Morris asserts? If you don't want to read any farther and are willing to take my word for it, I must say NO. Morris says that ticket prices should be as high as $16 even though the athletic department does not dip into tax funds. Do we want our physical plant to be of lower grade than that of other Big Eight schools? I doubt it, no. Or are you Brother Morris, one of those "disgusted" fel lows who thinks that athletics should be de-emphasized. Two dollars a game seems a reasonable price for us to pay to see good college football, the best in the Big Eight, if you will recall our . records and one of the best in the country by both polls. And we the students get the best seats in the house (I am sure that Jim Pittenger will get everyone in the stadium next fall). As I recall, nobody kicked about the ticket prices when they went up last year. . And everybody seems to think they got their money's worth out of the ticket last season, and I feel the same will hold true for next season even though the number of home games has been reduced to five. Morris says that faculty members should have to pay more than the students. By simple reasoning, it is safe to assume to say that faculty members have more ready, cash for purchase of the $12.50 ducat. Is that extra $2.50 such an unreasonable price to pay? At least they don't have to pay the full price of $25. Speaking of that $25 that Husker followers will be pulling from their hip pocket, how many of them are overly upset about the situation? Reference to Bill Ket ter's UPI story in last night's Lincoln Journal should sup ply the answer. . Activity Ticket? Sorry Considering the $15 activity ticket which Morris feels should be instituted, it has its merit. But that's singular. Providing for student activities to be included seems valid. But the proposal lacks a , little investigation and foresight. Didn't you know that there is a $4 , ticket now avail able which will get the student into all Cornhusker home athletic events, excluding football. If the student doesn't want to dog it over there and get one, he isn't overly enthusiastic about the program in the first place. And how would the athletic department and student activities split up the proceeds? And would the interest be aroused? Students who want to see a ball game badly enough, will catch it anyway. The 50 cents for a basketball game seems reasonable. The Lincoln High Schools charge $1.25, and the joints are always packed. So, actually, sports fans, we have got a pretty good deal. The athletic department is not a quickbuck outfit its main objective is to improve Cornhusker athletics. And as seen in the last two years, athletic director Tippy Dye is doing more than a commendable job. Coach-Teacher Sharpe Will Begin 18th Season William "Tony" Sharpe head baseball coach, begins his eighteenth season at Ne braska this spring. Sharpe arrived at Nebraska In the fall of 1946. Since then he has served as basphnl coach and assistant basket ball coach, as well as teach ing a course in basebal theory.

Sharpe played baseball and attended high school in his home town of Rushville, Ind. After high school he attended Indiana Central College in Indianapolis where he re ceived his A.B. in 1939. From 1939 to 1943 Sharpe coached basketball, baseball and played professional base ball. He coached high school basketball for four years and baseball for two in Indiana. Sharpe spent two years in the ranks of professional baseball under a contract with the Cincinnati Reds. He played for two summers, one with Muskogee, Oklahoma in the old Western Association and one with Crooktown, Min nesota in the Northern League. Sharpe spent three years in the Navy from '43-'46 and after being discharged came to Nebraska. Tony is married and has four children, Connie, 20, a sophomore at NU; Tony. 18. a freshman at NU; Sam, 12, who attends Irving Jr. High; and Becky Jo, 9, who attends Prescott. Sharpe spends his summers recruiting, and up 'till '55 he coached and played with semi-pro teams in the area. Speaking about the upcom ing year Sharpe said, "We will be young and inexperi enced, especially in pitching, where we lost the top four nuners, wall, Sieck, Have kost and Bonnistall." The Huskers will open with their annual spring swing through the southern states. Since coming to Nebraska Sharpe has an overall record of 207-161-1 with a 142-120 mark in Big Eight play. tht diWin with the archw Pure Beef Hamburger. ...15c Triple-Thick Shakes 20c Tasty Cheeseburger 20c Golden French Fries. . . , . .12c Thirst-Quenching Coke ...10c Delightful Root Beer 10c Steaming Hot Coffee 10c Delicious Orange Drink... 10c Refreshing Cold Milk 12c 5305 "O" St ; 865 No. 27th St. OPEN All YEAR 0 omas m&&-im m H uslier Cagers Test Leaders PROBABLE STARTERS Nebraska (4-3) Colorado (5-S) Jones (6-1V4) I George Parsons (6-2) Simmons (6-3) . ...

Tomorrow night at 8:05 the cagers meet Colorado at the Coliseum. , The Huskers are at a turn ing point in the season as they play another of the teams tied for the lead on Monday. By beating Colorado and; Kansas State the Huskers can become real threats for the title, and insure themselves a siirresKFiil r nnfprpnm am. I paign. This, however, will not be an easy task, as both teams are stacked with talent. But the Cornhuskers have come to life recently and now seem capable of great im provement from their early season performance. Leading the Colorado of fense is Jim Davis, the fine 6-8 senior from Muncie, In diana. He not only leads the Buffaloes in scoring, but is an outstanding rebounder. Last year Davis was All Big Eight with a 13.8 scoring pace and 329 rebounds. This year he is scoring close to 20 points per game. Davis alone is enough to keep the Huskers busy, but Coach Sox Walseth has more. For example, 6-2, 203-pound Bob Joyce, who can play guard or forward or Mike Frink, 6-3 guard, a fine shot from the outside, are both treacherous. Fob Sotyirdlo - S'miwjjuj mini mmmmmmmmim Colorado looms as the foe for the Nebraska trackmen tomorrow night at Boulder. Coach Frank Sevigne sees the Buffalos as a formidable op ponent. The Huskers can expect stiff competition in the high Jump, hurdles and the mile run. High jumper Leander Durley holds the Big 8 indoor record of 6-IOV2. He established this mark at the Indoor Champi onships last March. At that time he just missed going 7 feet even. In the hurdles, junior Buff Jim Miller is likely to give some static to the formidable Husker trio of Ron Moore, Preston Love and Lynn Head ley who is now eligible for competition. Miller placed third in both barrier events in the 1963 championships. A good race could result in the mile if Colorado's ace dis tance man Bob Griffiths elects the event. He will face NU's Peter Scott, a sopho more with good potential. Running for Nebraska in the 60-yard-d ash will be speedster Kent McCloughan and Headley. The 440 sees Dave Crook and Jim Murphy while Gil Gebo and Dick Strand will try the 600. Jim Wendt, who turned a fine half-mile in the Oklahoma State opener, will try that dis tance again along with Tuck er Lillis. Lillis also will be running the 1,000 with John Portee. Larry Toothaker will run his usual event, the two mile. He faces stiff competition from Colorado sophomore Dave Whitten. Scott, trying the tough mile-two mile dou ble, will also be In the race. In the field, Juris Jesifers and Victor Brooks will try for the broad jump. Jesifers won the event last week with a ' Jim v Beltzer and Roland 22-8 leap. Johnson will heave the shot and Jesifers will pole vault. V 1'4 COLORADO LEADERS Coach Sox Walseth and offense leader Jim Davis. Tassels Have Plans For N Club Opponents A different brand of basket ball is in store for the people who attend the NU-CU game tomorrow night as the Tassel All-Stars will be trying to re peat last year's win over the N Club. Not only will the fans be treated to a match between beauty and brawn, but also a few choice rules will be en forced. There is some speculation that their rules were designed by the Tassels, but no one knows for sure. The N Club must shoot only with their left hand, keep their right hands behind their backs, and shoot from outside the free throw circle. Meanwhile the Tassels may tickle boys when they have the ball, not have a foul called un less at least five are guarding the same boy, and use seven players at one time. Leading the Tassel attack will be Janell "Sadie Hawk ins" Quaring, Dell "Dunker" Meyer, Mary "Masher" Rak ow, Jan "7-foot" Springer, and Kathy "Cagey" Hotbs.
