Set IFasf Pace
One way to judge the future
of a school basketball pro
gram is by watching its fresh
men. If this holds true, Nebras
ka's basketball hopes should
be soaring as the current
frosh squad is sporting an im
pressive 7-0 record.
Leading the way for the
yearlings is 6-1 guard Fred
Hare.
Hare's 134 points in 7 games
gives him a 19.1 which puts
him 7 points ahead of second
place Willie Campbell. Camp
bell holds a one-pont lead
over Nate Branch.
The frosh got their sixth
and seventh straight victories
with wins over Nebraska Wes-

Accordingto swimming

stronger than it has been in
the last three years and they
feel they have a good chance
of taking the Big 8 title. Klass

Nebraska's basketball team, just days ago in the
thick of the Big Eight scramble, isn't really "a year
away" ... the team is seconds and inches away.
The two last second defeats doled out by Colorado
and Kansas State recently were illustrative of how close
they are. This column's forecast of a fourth place Husker
finish almost met reality. Skeptics almost lost their con
fidence. Nebraska almost had a 6-3 conference record.
But even the most naive coed can tell you that "al
most", doesn't count. So why have the Scarlet missed the
basketball boat?
It is a matter of team confidence, probably in three
areas: meshing the various strong points of the players,
adopting the Cipriano system and home crowd support.
Nebraska's team probably includes the strangest
assortment of player talent ever tossed together. Nearly
every Husker has a real speciality, but few have all
around ability. This makes it tough on a coach to find that
unit that can combine for the winning effort.
Related to the last point is the fact that Coach Joe
Cipriano had to Install his "style" of play. In his first
year, Cipriano really had to make the team like that style.
This process is necessarily time consuming.
Crowd support is the clincher. Only one of Nebraska's
six wins has come on the road against weak Iowa State.
In this department, then, Cipriano's team has been well
endowed. Crowd support has probably bolstered team
confidence. Unless of course good old yelling gives way'to
booing and garbage-throwing experts. ; ' "
Nebraska team confidence nearly passed the test at
Manhatten last Monday night. A major victory on the
road would complete team confidence.
Nebraska will finish the year on a crucial three game
road trip after home tilts with Iowa State and Kansas. If
the Huskers can take Oklahoma State, Oklahoma or Colo
rado away from home, Coach Cipriano will have a head
start next year he'll have a team that knows it can win.

backbone of the team so far
this year."
Klass indicated Keefe Lod
wig is the most improved
swimmer on the squad. Lod
wig has consistently broken
varsity, meet, and pool rec
ords in the 50 and 100 yard
freestyle. His best times so
far are :22.6 seconds in the
50 yard freestyle and :49.6 in !
the 100. i
I
Looking forward to the Big ,
Eight Meet, which has been j
switched from Iowa State toi
Oklahoma, Klass stated that',
he thought Oklahoma would ,
have a slight advantage, even I
though they lost some swim-'
mers through ineligibility. '
Klass continued by saying
that he thought it would be
a close second between Ne-!
braska, Iowa State and Kan
sas. The Huskers would really
like to upset the Sooners who
are perennial favorites. The
Oklahoma power house has
won the title for the last ten
years in a row.
They have also won 13 out
of the last 15 conference
meets.
Nebraska could be tough in
the future, providing the fresh
man squad continues to im
prove as it has all vear. Thp
yearlings have shown that
tney nave some real talent
that will be useful next year.
Particularly in the freestvle
relay the frosh have done a
good job.
Klass said that thnso uhn
