No Confesf Af The Gardens
It was massacre at the Boston Gardens last Sunday
afternoon as AttDa and the Huns (sometimes known as the
Boston Celtics) drowned the second team from the Lord
of the Flys (otherwise known as the Los Angeles Lakers)
by thirty-three points.
It was never a game. Even after Jerry West of the
Lord of the Flys put the first bucket in the hoop on a steal
at the opening tip, there was little doubt that the Huns would
do their job. And it they did.
It had been a long hard road for the Huns to get to
that fifth game in the Gardens. First they had their late
summer camp where they start their drills. This was in mid
dle August. (And old Jim Naismith thought basketball would
make a good WINTER sport.)
Then the Huns started their exhibition series in early
Setember about fifteen or twenty games. Then the regu
lar season began. The Huns had to limp and pant and blis
ter their way through seventy-four games (not counting the
all-star game) before they earned the right to compete in
their division playoffs. Of the seventy-four regular season
games, the Huns managed to lose twelve and win a miracu
lous sixty-two!
They then played a best of seven series with the Phil
adelphia 76ers and won the final game 110-109 in a real
squeaker. The Lakers series was a pronounced anti-climax
for the Huns.
The LORD OF THE FLYS rejects couldnt even make
a contest of the games the Huns wanted to win. (Which
were all the games but the third game if the Huns had
won that one on the coast, they couldn't have won the title
before their home crowd.)
In slight defense of the Lakers, the loss of Elgin Baylor
hurt their game, and Dick Barnett was injured and not at
top form. Yes their incapacity hurt the Lakers game, but
not their chances. They never had a prayer in the first
place.
Red Auerbach, Huns coach, lit his victory cigar the ear
liest he had ever lit it Sunday afternoon, (about three
fourths of the way through a Hun barrage of twenty
straight points that put the candles on the already-iced cake. )
Auerbach is the Machievelli of the sports kingdom, and he
has written books about winning basketball games that make
The Prince seem like child's play. Auerbach could just as
easily have lit his cigar before the game started . . . heck,
before the SEASON started.
If the season were as cut and dried as in retrospect it
seems to have been, what is the point in playing so many
basketball games that it tends to drive the pros out of the
game after a few hectic seasons?
Since there are so many regular season games, a single
game means nothing, and has no more interest value than
would a scrimmage. (The pro basketball season length is so
absurd that it approaches that of major league baseball.)
If the schedule were cut by about sixty per cent, say to
about thirty or thirty-five games, the games would mean
something, draw more publicity and fans, and keep the
pros alive a little longer.

A rain shortened series with
Kansas State last weekend
has propelled the Nebraska
Cornhuskers into the midst
of the Big Eight baseball race.
George Flock and Randy
Harris combined to give the
Huskers a 3-2 win in the sec
ond game of Friday's double
header, after Nebraska had
used six hits and twelve cost
ly Kansas State walks to win
the first game going away,
10-5.
Flock, who has done a good
job in relief all season, fin
ally garnered a victory Fri
day. Coming in from the bull-
pen to replace starter Bob
Herganrader, Flock shut out
the Wildcats on no hits, while
striking out one.
Herganrader's exit was
prompted by back-to-back
home runs by Stu Steele and
Joe Beck in the top of the sev
enth, which put the K-Staters
on top 2-1.
Nebraska countered with
two runs in the bottom of the
seventh to give Flock his
win. It was a single by Ran
dy Harris with two on and
two out which brought in the
victory tally. Before the .167
hitter from Kearney drove in

Daily Nebraskan Favored
In Cornhusker Battle
By Jim Korshoj
A full-scale slaughter is ex
pected to occur tomorrow af
ternoon as the staff of the '65
Cornhusker risk lives and
limbs when they take on the
powerful staff of the Daily
Nebraskan in the annual foot
ball game between the two
teams.
No information was avail
able yesterday on the man
power of the Cornhusker
squad, but pre-game prognos
ticators predict that the Ne
braskan squad will probably
prime their defenses for stop
ping the Cornhusker's shifty,
triple-threat, Twila Andrea
sen. Rarely has a team had such
a collection of speed and
brawn as the Nebraskan will
be able to field in Carole
"Crusher" Reno, Polly "Pow
erhouse" Rhynolds, "Smash
in" Susie Rutter and Priscilla
"Masher" Mullins, with "Big
Daddy" Partsch ready and
more than willing to assist
this fearsome foursome.
"Never have I seen a team
with such defensive abilities
as this group," said Nebras
kan playing coach Lee Mar
shall after some early season
workouts with them.
The game will be held at
Pioneer Park at 5 p.m., with
a victory celebration expected
to follow.

John Roux for the third
run,. Gary Neibauer had
scored the tying run by com
ing across on a sacrifice fly
by Rich Brenning after lead
ing off the mnmg with a sin
gle and advancing on a wild
pitch and Roux's single.
Concerning the Huskers and
their position in the stand
ings, Friday's hero Harris,
"We can't back in. We have
to beat the contenders. We've
still got Oklahoma State and
Kansas to play on the road.
Before journeying south,
however, the Cornhuskers
must face the toughest pitch
ing in the Big Eight when
Iowa State comes to Lincoln
this weekend for a three-game
set.
A two-sport pitcher, Iowa
State's Tim Van Galder, has
taken over the individual
mound leadership in the Big
Eight Conference this week
with a sparkling 0.81 earned
run average, according to sta
tistics released Wednesday by
the Conference's Service Bur
eau.
A 6-2 by 175 football quar
terback, Van Galder, who
threw his third straight com
plete game last weekend,
slipped past teammate Scott
Morton by not giving up an
earned tally against Colora
do. On the season, he has
given up only two earned runs
in his 21 innings both to Kan
sas, leading to his lone loss
of the year. .
The statistics released on
Wednesday also show Nebras
ka heads the Big Eight in
fielding percentage with a
mark of .961.
Neither the Huskers nor the
Cyclones are threatening the
hitting leaders of the confer
ence, Oklahoma State and
Missouri, and with Nebraska
ranked directly behind ISU
in pitching, Husker fans can
look forwar to some inter
esting defensive baseball both
ON Friday and Saturday afternoon.
