First Big Eight Meet

Rood Awakening
By Mick Rood
Annually, as sure as Easter and the mailman and
whatever, "the hoarde" descends on the academic seren
ity of this campus. Annually, as sure as "the hoarde", Ne
braska collegians shrink in horror and grumble in the
shadows.
Every University student that knows, can give you a
full description of the "typical invader."
You know, here he comes, tripping through our own
Crib now. He wears a shiny aborted duck-tail (with shorter
variation) and corn silk is hanging from his left ear. He's
got the flying button-down shirt collars complimented by
the suave tweed sports jacket with six inch lapels. He may
be sporting his Sunday boots and the pregnant tie his dad
gave him special for the trip.
Oh yes, there is his girl friend behind him. She's wear
ing one of those stylish pep uniforms sporting her school
colors kelly green and deep purple. She's got the good
ratted hair that makes her head swell two or three times.
And of course, the proverbial wad of gun with the champ-chomp-chomp.
And so, the highschoolers stampede the Union, crowd
the dorms and hotels and, in general, tax public facilities.
But every year they accomplish something else. They
bring a spirit that captures all even the "cool" Uni
versity students.
By the end of the tourney, Harry Hayseed from
high school and Joe Suave from college are both shoving
for tickets, yelling for their teams and bragging about
their best court men.
It is a zany weekend when the high school rules and
most everyone has a good time.
Nebraska will journey to
Ames this weekend to com
pete in the first annual Big
Eight Conference gymnastics
meet. The Huskers are odds
on favorites to win.
Nebraska is actually de
fending its Big Eight crown.
The Huskers were declared
conference champions last
year on the basis of dual
meet performances, although
there was no over-all meet.
Five teams will be compet-
ing in the conference meet.
Nebraska, Colorado, Iowa
State, Kansas and Kansas
State will be the only schools
vying for the crown.
Iowa State and Colorado
are the only teams which
have entered full 10-man
squads. Each team has a 10
man limit but there is no lim
it to the number of events a
man may enter.
Nebraska will enter only six

Sports Staff Writer
Though he doesn't get as
many headlines as other
coaches and isn't as well
known by the public, gym
nastics coach Jake Geier has
the most impressive record of
any coach on campus.
In his fifteen years as head
gymnastics coach Geier has
compiled a fantastic record of
128-28-1 in dual, triangular and
quadrangular meets plus six
teen championships. This
comes out to a fabulouj .320
percentage for the past fifteen
years.
Geier's teams have won six
Midwest AAU championships,
seven All-College champion
ships, one Central District
championship, and Northwest
championship and one Big
Eight championship.
The Huskers won the Big
Eight championship last year
on the basis of their dual rec
ord with other Big Eight
teams.
The reason for the selection
of the Huskers as champions
in this manner results from
the fact that no gymnastics
meet was held on the Big
Eight level in previous years.
This year the first Big Eight
meet, as such, will be held
and the Huskers will compete
in it this weekend.
Geier's coaching career be
gan seventeen years ago at
Beatrice high school where he
coached for one year and pro
duced a state high school
champion. The next year he
moved to Nebraska as assist
ant gymnastics coach.
Geier went to high school in
his home town of Montrose,
Colo. While in high school he
played football, baseball and
track. Then, when he came to
NU tor college he participated
in gymnastics.
After receiving his degree in
1941 Geier went into Army
and served from Oct. of '41 to
March of '46. Geier started out
as a platoon leader and ended
his service career as a Major.
He served with the 34th In
fantry Division and was As
sistant of Plans and Opera
tions when he came home.
Geier spent all but one year
of his time in Europe.
Geier spends his summers
teaching courses here on cam
pus. During the school year
Geier teaches courses varying
from fencing to history of P.E.
to gymnastics.
According to Geier his great
est thrill as coach took place
this year when his team beat
Minnesota on its own floor. The
NU team had never beaten
Minnesota on its own floor before.
His greatest thrill as a par
ticipate came when Biff Jones
former athletic director,
awarded him a major N, a
reversible jacket and a blan
ket for his overall record as
a competitor while at NU.
This took place in his senior
year but Jones had the docu
ments back-dated to his junior
year.
The Huskers, with a 10-1
record and a Northwest cham
pionship so far this year, are
rated as favorites for this
weekend's Big Eight Meet as
Geier will try to add another
championship to his already
long list,
Geier was married in 1940
and lives here in Lincoln at
1841 Perkins.
men. Coach Jack Geier isn't
concerned however.
"We'll take them on with
our six," he smiles. Losing
only to powerful Denver Uni
versity this season, the Husk
ers have defeated every team
they will face in the confer
ence meet.
Nebraska's top hopes lie in
Dennis Albers, Francis Allen
and Jim Howard. All t h r e e
work every one of the nine
gymnastics events. That in
cludes free exercise, trampo
line, side horse, horizontal
bar, parallel bars, still
rings, tumbling, long horse
vaulting and an all-inclusive
decathlon event.
Louis Burkel also will com
pete in all the events except
the trampoline in the Big
Eight meet. Tom Sitzman
will work the parallel bars,
still rings and the side horse,
while Lawrence (Bill) Pfeiff
will compete in trampoline,
free exercise and tumbling
competition.
"This is the best team I've
ever had," says Geier, who
is in his 15th season as the
Husker mentor. "I've had
good teams in the past, but
they didn't have the depth or
ability this one has."
Husker Quartet Loses To O-State
Nebraska's mile relay team
came in a close second be
hind Oklahoma State at the
United States Track and Field
Federation meet in Milwau
kee, Wis. Monday night.
The winning time was 3:18.1
which just nipped the Husker
quartet's time of 3 18.2.
Running for the Huskers was
the usual line-up of Kent Mc
Cloughan, Dick Strand and
Dave Crook with the anchor
position going to captain Gil
Gebo.
The rivalry which has built
up between the Cowboys's re
lay team and the Nebraska
foursome now stands at 2-2.
The Huskers beat the Cow
boys in a dual at Memorial
Stadium and at the Chicago
Daily News Relays last Sat
urday night. O-State won the
relay at the Big Eight Indoor
meet and the meet Monday
night.

Nebraska's basketball team
finished its season with only
an 8-17 record last Monday,
but Coach Joe Cipriano is
looking forward to next sea
son with great optimism.
"We are looking forward to
next year now that our squad
has learned to play our style
of game," said Cipriano, after
his first season in Cornhusker
land. "And we feel that we
had a freshmen team this sea
son that will be a great asset
to us next year."
Besides the fine crop of
frosh, Grant Simmons, Harold
Cebrun, Coley Webb, Bob An
tulov, Jerry Spears, Joel
Kortus, Earl Wright, Al Rein
ers and Larry Bornschlegel
will return to form an ex
perienced team for next sea
son. Throw in Earl Johnson, 6-5
Loyola transfer who waited in
the wings this season, and the
Huskers should improve on
their 5-9 Big Eight record and
move from the seventh-place
spot in the standings.
Though their record was not
among the leaders, the Corn
huskers gave top-running foes
all they could handle. Nebras
ka beat Oklahoma State 54-53,
gave Kansas State a run be
fore bowing twice, 73-66 in ov
ertime and 50-48 at Manhattan,
dropped hot-shooting Oklaho
ma City, 74-64, and sunk Mis
souri, 74-69 in another over
time thriller in some of the
top games for the season.
