Squad Meet Draws Approval
By Jim Swartz
The Student Senate report last week on intramural fa
cilities brought long needed attention to a "minus" area of
the University's planning.
Any intrTnural program would seem to be for the in
terest and the welfare of the student, so it only follows that
increased and in this case new facilities are certainly in
order.
. The report noted that the possibility of lighting the pre
sent playing fields, this could be either temporary or perm
anent lighting and would result in the increased use of the
present facilities to four or five times their present use.
This would seem to be one of the improvements that cer
tainly could be made now.
Also, the possibility of the use the Lincoln Air Base ,
facilities also holds a great deal of promise for the future.
The unimited possibility of the Air Base facilities should j
prompt the University to purchase the facilities.
What is most important, and the point stands that the
University's population has expanded along with the intra
mural program and facilities for intramurals are shrink
ing. While there seems to have been some hasty plans made
to provide for other areas of student welfare (the now in
adequate but expanding classrooms and living units for ex
ample) the area of intramurals appears to have gone by
overlooked.

'it was just a good o 1 d

The varsity squad will open

About this Saturday's open

Wrestling Tournament at

and 11. The meet also comes
under the sponsorship of the
national Amateur Athletic
Union (AAU).
According to Newt Copple,
tournament director, this is
the second year running tor

unusual in that the spectacle
has never been staged in the

Nebraska Wins National Rushing Title
With Display Of Best Offensive Balance
By Big Eight Service Bureau
Nebraska has won the na
tional team rushing title. It
has also taken the Big Eight
Conference's total offense
championship, displaying the
best offensive balance shown
by a titlist. All this came dur
ing the year pass offense
came top side in the Confer
ence. The Cornhuskers averaged
404 a game, second-best in the
nation, and became the first
to go over the 400 mark with
out at least 300 a game on
the ground. Their rushing to-!
tal was 290, keeping the in
fantry tag in the league.
Passing Strong
However, pass offense was
sparkling. Three teams
passed at least 1,100 yards for
the first time since 1952. Iowa
State led with 1.418, a Con
ference top since Missouri had
1.762 in 1951. Colorado fin
ished with 1,217 and Nebras
ka. 1,140.
Now that it is over, more
passes were lofted, more
completed, and more yards
gained than ever before in
the league. Twice this season
Frosh Tie Varsity 47-47;
Road Trips Open Schedule
Perhaps the program isn't in the great design for the
future that is always talked about, but planners would do
well to place it there.
This isn't without paradox either, to see the work Ed
Higginbotham, who developed and ran the program from
its start until last year, be crowded out in the plan for the
future.
If the University has no future and present plan for the
improvement of intramural facilities, the University has no
future.
It takes no great amount of imagination to see the
possibility of the male population, with nothing else to do,
trying to rid their steam on the East side of 16th Street. An
incident that always ends in a disastorous and disgusting
way, however, the natural outcome if they are denied
a proper and supervised program.
We now have such a program, the number of parti
cipants has increased and the facilities have decreased. A
conclusive report has been submitted to the administrators
and action with a solution is needed immediately.
With competition limited to
only one swimmer for the
Varsity to every two for the
Freshmen, the yearling tank
ers used this advantage to tie
the Varsity, 47-47, Friday,
Dec. 3 in the Coliseum pool.
The Freshmen capitalized
on both relays and finished
1-2 in the 200-yd backstroke to
even the score. In the only
racing event that two Varsity
members were competing
Steve Goetz and G a y 1 e Mc
Adams placed 1-2 in the 200-
yd. Breaststroke.
Diving honors went to Steve
Sorensen and Terry Tice of
the Varsity.

All Big Eight Center . . .
Attitude Ingredient For Success
Boulder, Colo., -Take it from
Colorado's All-Big Eight Cen
ter Chuck Gardner, attitude is
just important as altitude in
a big man's basketball make
up. Not that Gardner ranks as
one of the highest performers
in the Big Eight conference.
He isn't. At 6-7 he's shorter
than 16 other men in the
league.
But he does rank as one of
the conference's finest play
ers and he's quick to point out
that the big reason for his
great improvement after a
relatively obscure season and
a third is due primarily to
attitude.
Not that he was lazy. B u t
rather that he was not playing
much and not accomplishing
much when he was on the
floor.
Gardner got out of the gate
quickly this season with a 28
point barrage against a good
Texas Tech team. Quite a
beginning when you consider
he didn't reach that total until
the Buffaloes' eighth game
last winter.
The Yardley, Pa. mathe
matics major, who carries an
almost perfect 3.6 overall
grade point average, never
hit double figures as a col
legian until he tallied 13
against Missouri in the second
game of the Big Eight pre
season tournament.
One he found the range,
however, he averaged 16.4 in
conference play to finish as
the fifth-best scorer in the
tough Big Eight.
So what c h a n g e d his at
titude? The answer is simple.
It was the greatest of all
attitude-changers, success.
"Until I had that pretty
good game against Missouri I
never really had any great
(Confidence or enthu
siasm about myself," explains
Gardner, a sandy-h aired,
freckled-faced young man who i
looks like a s t r i n g-beanish
Tom Sawyer.
"When I discovered I could
score in the Big Eight, my
confidence started to come,"
he adds. "With the confidence,
my attitude really changed.
Knowing that I was part of
the team really got me
charged up. I started getting
gassed up for the games. It
makes a difference. I could
hardly wait for basketball sea
son to get here this year. I
never felt like that before."
Gardner spent last summer
working as a roughneck with
an oil drilling crew near Pow
ell, Wyo. That heavy labor
should increase his durability
and strength.
If Gardner had a short
coming last year, it was that
he had a tendency to tire and
lose effectiveness in the sec
ond half. Part of his problem
was inexperience.
"I'm stronger this year,"
he says. "But I feel that my
biggest improvement physical
ly will come from knowing
how to relax. For example,
I've found that I can rest a
bit at the free throw line. I
couldn"t last year. I was tight
and tense everywhere and
you've got to learn how to
relax when you get the
chance."
What about this current
Colorado team which, despite
the early season losses of last
year's regular guards, P a t
Frink and Lynn Baker, has
gotten off with three straight
wins over Texas Tech, Tulsa,
and Northwestern.
"It's attitude
plains Gardner,
has tremendous
again, ex
"Our team
spirit. We
believe in each other and
we're for each other. There
aren't many of us so we know
we all have to work hard. And,
don't forget, everybody on this
team is tough."
Gardner's 61 points and 32
rebounds pace the Buffs as
they leave home for the first
time, playing at Wichita State
Saturday night. Then they'll
return home against Cin
cinnati next Tuesday night
before playing in the Sun
Devil Classic at Tempe, Dec.
17-18.

tournament this weekend will
be the biggest to date.
Over 24 college wrestling
teams, including nearly all of
the Big Eight schools, are en
tered in the tournament. Cop
ple indicated that more than
250 individual wrestlers in
eleven weight classes will com
pete in the two-day match.
Entries are not restricted
entirely to college and uni
versity wrestling squads, ac
cording to Copple. Competi
tion is open and any ama
teur wrestler may compete.
Now in its fourth year, the
mat spectacle produces top
competitors. Copple said,
"Normally, the AAU champs
beat the college champs." He
added that this stands to rea
son because "for a pmon who
has been out of college three
or four years, as he goes
along he becomes better.
By open competition, Cop
ple said that even high sciool
age boys are eligible for the
meet. The AAU has no ?e
quirements as to any aca
demic standing; even a per
son who has never attended
school is not barred from
competition.
Olympic Rules Used
Copple said the tournament
will be run according to Oly
pic rules, noting the back
mark system in particular. In
this system, a wrestler is
eliminated by the black marks
he accumulates. A fall con
stiti.2s no black marks, de
cision is one. a draw is two,
a loss by decision is three, a
loss by a fall is four, and if
a man accumulates six black
marks he is out.
Under Olympic rules cuerc
are only eight weight classes.
However, Copple said that the
standard eleven collegiate
weight classes will be used in
the tourney.
In each weight class,
matches will go on until there
are only three competitors left
with less than six black marks
in each class. Then in a final
round-robin, the remaining
three will wrestle each other
to determine the overall
champion for that weight
class. The collegiate weight
classes range from 115 pounds
to the heavyweight category.
