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.

Sharpe spent two years in
the ranks of professional
baseball under a contract

the old Western Association

nesota in the Northern

ing year Sharpe said, "We

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.

of 207-161-1 with a 142-120

For the second time in a
week Nebraska's basketball
team has the task of facing
the top team in the Big Eight.
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

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.

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.

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.
