' Approaching Zero Hour
This has been a bad week. I heard about a guy who
had six hour exams and two papers due. If it wasn't
papers or tests, there was always the thought of the ap
proaching three hour sessions at which many of us
will attempt to prove to instructors that the semester
was not completely wasted. '
Or if a guy was just, plain lazy last week, he could
have reminisced "of how swell things used to be. Remem
ber when :
in high school tests were gleefully considered a way
out of lecture. ONCE I had a question requiring the brain
storage of the number of states . . . rugged.
after six University parking tickets the fine was
stiU $1.
when guys didn't begin to date search until Thurs
day. That was back in the '30's, according to Mrs. Fred
M. Akin, now a mother.)
before becoming 21, drinking beer was fun.
a paper showed up with a "9" or a term paper was
placed before an instructor on the required date. The cus
tom is now one week late, with 30 per cent less sources
than originally required.)
A Peachy Year
Remember when things weren't even very hot on the
athletic fields either? No longer. A look over in the north
west corner of the campus an athletic rainbow spread
over a sometimes academic cloud. I hadn't thought about
it much until Dick Perry, KFOR sportscaster, put me
back in Memorial Stadium for a Willie Ross 17-yard
scamper around right end on the Cornhusker record and
Athletic Director Tippy Dye flashed a Big Eight cham
pionship and Orange Bowl football ring victory.
I suspect the gleam that was in his eyes was not only
for the jewelers' craftsmanship, but also for the said vic
tories placing Nebraska ON THE TOP.
It was not only football, the most important from the
fans' standpoint, that reaped athletic excellence.
Whoever visioned at the beginning of the season the
Cornhusker basketball team beating Oklahoma State, 54
53 . . . knocking off Missouri, 74-69, in overtime . . .
coining so close to defeating league champ Kansas State
. . . convincingly beat the tallest team in the nation,
Oklahoma City ... or even winning the first game against
fairly potent Wyoming, 79-72. Credit coaches Joe Cipriano,
Glenn Potter and Bob Gates.
I never thought much of wrestling until I became ac
quainted with Bob Mancuso, now departed NU coach. As
Dye pointed out upon Mancuso's resignation he not only did
a good job at the University but also increased wrestling
interest throughout the state. His team finished only sixth
in the conference, but Mancuso's loss will be felt by all.
And, of course, the gymnasts Big Eight championship
brought another feather in the Cornhusker . cap. Complet
ing the winter sports the swimming team splashed to a
third in the conference meet, an outstanding effort for a
group of mainly underclassmen.
The Spring Frosting
If the above results don't convince you, the fellows in
spring sports should have. They pulled off the biggest sur
prise. Especially the track team. After a dismal sixth place
finish in the indoor meet, the thinclads romped to six
first places and a surprising second placing finish in the
conference outdoor.
The baseball team couldn't have done, or been ex
pected to do, as well as it did this 9-18 season. Of course,
a pennant was not won but such wasn't expected with
seven sophomores in the regular lineup. Coach Tony
Sharpe's bunch ended 7-14 in the Big Eight standings,
good for sixth.
So on for the tennis team with its 12-5 dual record
and tie for fourth in the conference meet. Not bad con
sidering those southern members (Oklahoma, Kansas,
Oklahoma State, Kansas State) get better spring weather.
Same holds for the golf team, an eighth place finisher
at the Big Eight meet. But the Cornhuskers were com-:
pletely underclassed among the top swingers, so things
are brightening there. .1

By Peggy Speece
Sports Editor
Big Bob Brown.
Those three words wrote
more Husker. history, brought
more athletic recognition to
the University, and will con
tinue in the memories of Ne
braska fans longer than prob
ably any three words will for
a long time. . .
Big Bob Brown Is the
DAILY NEBRASKAN selec
tion for Outstanding Varsity
Athlete of the year and ' he
took this latest honor as grate
fully and quietly as he has
all of his other awards.
The 6-5, 270-plus guard hails
from Cleveland Ohio. There
he did his prep football play
ing under Coach William
Udovic. As a high schooler,
Brown lettered three years in
both football and track for
East Tech High.
A lineman in high school,
Brown indicated he holds the
typical lineman's dream of
scoring a touchdown when he
recounted his greatest prep
sports thrill.
"I once intercepted a
screen pass and ran 40 yards
for a touchdown," he saidj.
Brown got his start in ath
letics by being born into a
sports minded family. H i s
father operates a business in
Cleveland and is an avid
sports fan. Brown's first taste
of organized playing came
when he played ninth grade
football.
His decision to attend the
University of Nebraska came

after consultation with many
colleges. Brown said he was
very well impressed with the
representative that Nebraska,
sent to talk to him and that
played a part in his final de
cision. The general feeling today
is that athletic ability and
classroom ability don't go to
gether. Nebraska has a lot of
exceptions to this feeling, and
Brown . is certainly, o n e of
them.
Brown accomplished the
almost-unheard-of feat of
graduating mid-year after his
final season of eligibility. But
Brown is not satisied with a
bachelor's degree; he has
stayed on campus this se
mester to begin a program
of graduate study.
His field is school admini
stration and his reasons for
the selection are highly com
mendable. "I believe this is
a good field for anyone," he
said. "But it is a especially
a good one for a Negro. He
can get ahead in this field
and do well in it.'
Brown is planning on com
pleting his master's degree
although this wilt have to be
worked in around a pro foot
ball stint with the Philadel
phia Eagles. Brown wore a
big grin when he said he re
ports to the Eagles on July
15.
Brown's athletic triumphs
at the University have been
numerous. Last fall, the
husky guard was constantly
the subject of such quotes as
"Nebraska's line, utilizing the
bruising strength of Bob

u
Brown . . ." and "Today, the
Huskers were led defensively
by Bob Brown."
Key clutch plays were com
mon with Brown. In the
Homecoming contest with
Colorado, Brown jarred CU
quarterback Frank Cesarek
for a Nebraska recovered
fumble and late in the game
batted down a Cesarek pass
that had touchdown written
all over it.
Against Oklahoma State,
Brown may have saved the
game. Toward the end of the
fourth quarter, O-State tried
an onside kick. It Brown
hadn't fallen on top of the
ball, the Cowboys could have
easily recovered it and made
a touchdown drive that would
have won the game for them.
In lighter moments, Husker
fans will recall how Brown
pasted a picture of Carl El
ler, Minnesota's AU-American
tackle candidate, inside his
locker to "psyc" himself up
for the Gopher title. They'll
remember how Brown refused
to shave his beard until the
Huskers beat Missouri in
1962 he shaved it just before
the Missouri game and the
Huskers lost.
But most of all, Nebraska
and Bob Brown will remem
ber that he made All-Americathe
epitomy of all foot-ball-dom.
"I think every guy dreams
of being All-America," Brown
said. "It has to go down as
my greatest sports thrill."
