Report From Husker Training Camp . . .
o Fun In The Sun At Arizona
By Jim Pearse
PHOENIX, ARIZONA -The
valley of the sun, has
shown the nation's number
three football team nothing
but dark, rain laden skies
since the Cornhuskers landed
here Tuesday evening.
Wednesday morning's
workout at Sun Devil Stadium
on the campus of Arizona
State University had to be
called off because of inter
mittent showers and a very
boggy field.
A disappointed Coach Bob
D e v a n e y said Wednesday
morning, "We would have

After a weekend of home games, Nebraska cagers will
head to Kansas City for the Big Eight Pre-Season Basket
ball Tournament.
The Huskers were placed in the lower bracket with
Oklahoma State, Oklahoma and Missouri and are matched
In the first round against the Tigers.
What the Huskers will be out to do is win a game.
Head Coach Joe Cipriano reports that the Huskers have
yet to win a game in the tournament since he has started
coaching here, two years ago.
The Huskers are in the best bracket, the Tigers have
been hit hard by scholastic problems and the Sooners and
Cowboys are both fielding young and inexperienced teams.
It appears more than likely that they should win Coach
Cipriano his first game in the tournament and could possi
bly advance to the finals, to face Kansas, the team picked
to win the tourney and the Big Eight Conference.
Win or lose in the tourney, this year's version of Hus
ker basketball has got off to a fast and successful start,
through the aid of two sophomores, Stuart Lantz and Tom
Baack.
Lantz stands just 6' 3" and on the court of giants, makes
every inch of it count. Currently he follows Baack for the
scoring lead, with a 14.4 average, which ties him with
Grant Simmons for second place.
He is the leading rebounder, with 44 grabs off of the
backboard. Nate Branch is the closet to Lantz with 34.
The other soph in the lineup, Baack, stands a tall 6'5"
and is currently the team's scoring leader. His five game
average is 15.0 and has been aided by his 27 for 21 at the
foul line.

He continued to speak in
hushed tone as he gazed long-
i n g 1 y towards Camelback
Mountain, which was com-
pletely obscured by the low
rain clouds.
"Does ASU have a field
house?" No.
"Maybe we could run in
their gymnasium."
Asked about how the delay
in starting practice would
affect the present plan, De
vaney commented, "We will
probably practice twice on
Sunday now."
He hinted that Wednesday
night workout might take the
place of the scheduled trip
to a movie.
Business manager Bill
Fischer said it was out of the
question to stay a day longer
because of the lost time. "We
are just too committed else
where." What do 58 anxious Huskers
do on a rainy day?
Well, try this. "Pass."
"Pass." "Diamonds." No, it's
not a game of back yard foot
ball with a trick play called
to the line of scrimmage, it's
a heated game of pitch.
Larry Wachholtz and Pete
Tatman versus Bob Church
ich and Bill Johnson. Wach
holtz quickly laid down the
ground rules, "There will be
no cheating." Laughter f o 1 -lowed.
Wachholtz changed the sub
ject as he looked out the win
dow, "I heard a report this
morning that this weather is
to last five more days."
Sports Information Director
Don Bryant loaded up his car
with quarterback Fred Duda
and a friend and headed for
a tour of Phoenix. Harry Wil
son was found poking around
in the fireplace at the main
lounge of Camelback Inn,
the team's headquarters.
After lunch, a search began
for an inside practice facil
ity. Bryant and this reporter
set out to investigate the pos
sibility of the exhibition hall
at the State Fairground but
enroute to report the find
ings the sun broke through
the clouds.
As though the afternoon
temperature of 46 was a bit
cool the Huskers dressed in
full pads and took the field
about 3:00 p.m.
The Scarlet and Cream ran
through a pre-game type
workout in the puddle-dotted
Sun Devil Stadium. The ba
sic purpose of yesterday's
drill was to tone up some
tired, some relaxed or tight
muscles and get the Nebraska
football machine oiled for
heavy duty during the next
few days.
Most everyone is in good
health with the exception of
a few colds, notably J i m
Brown and Jerry Patton. Botn
are on medication and Patton
today said, "The pills are do
ing the job just fine."
Though the last hour of
Wednesday's drill was con
ducted under puffy grey
clouds, the plan is to go
ahead with the outdoor work
outs on the scheduled two-a-day
basis, as the Huskers
load up for Bear.

Huskers Enter Big Eight Tourney
Nebraska's C o r n h u s
kers will travel to Kansas
City, Mo., over the Christmas
holidays for the 1965 pre-sea-son
basketball tournament.
Big Eight roundballers will
clash in the pre-conference
tourney Dec. 27-30.
Kansas boasts the favored
spot with Kansas State, Iowa
State and Colorado picked as
roup'i competitors. Kansas
has paced its way to the best
overall record of the Big
Eight schools in non-conference
play so far this season.
Although Colorado has
played strong in non-conference
games this year, the
Buff's mainstay, Pat Frink,
is out for the season, and this
may have some effect on Col
orado's performance.
In the first round, Oklaho
ma will meet Oklahoma
State, Kansas is pitted against
Kansas State, Colorado faces
Iowa State and Nebraska
plays Missouri.
Last year, the
dumped Nebraska
in both meetings.
son Mizzou compiled a season
record of 13 wins and 11 losses
compared to the Huskers 10
15 mark. Missouri was 8-6 in
conference and Nebraska fin
ished up 5-9.
The Tiger's rebuilding
Tigers
for losses
Last
sea-
problems are made even
more acute by the loss of six
lettennen, four promising
freshmen and two returning
squadsmen on scholastic defi
ciencies. A lack of scoring punch and
a height disadvantage com
punded by inexperience is ex
pected to hamper the Tigers.
Kansas was boosted into
national prominence this
year with the return of six
top scorers including Big 8
scoring king Walt Wesley and
three other starters.
The only drawback to what
looks like will be better team
scoring and rebounding is
that the Jayhawks will have
to overcome the "one man
team" and find a formula for
balanced team scoring.
Kansas State soared to pre
season polls on the altitude
of their team. The Wildcats
have good depth at guard and
center with 7' 1" Nick Pino
leading their hopes for an
upper division finish.
Pino is so essential to the
inexperienced squad that
coach Tex Winters stated "As
Nick Pino goes so goes Kan
sas State."
Iowa State was tagged for
an upper division finish on
the strength of eight return
ing letterman with experience

at every position and a good
pair of outside shooters.
Team height is improved
by sophomores and the de
fense will have to improve
with the sophomores.
Oklahoma State, last year's
conference champ, has been
the hardest hit of any team.
The champs are expected to
plunge to the bottom because
of inexperience, only four
returning lettermen and lack
of help from the sophomores.
Colorado was hampered by
the loss of all-conference
choice Pat Frink but is
boosted by another all-confer
ence choice, Chuck Gardner
and five other lettennen.
The Buffs will aave to come
up with some experience at
the forwards in addition to
lacking a big man and team
depth, there are only 11 men
on the team.
Oklahoma has shown im
provement in size and more
scoring potential but the
improvement is dubious when
it's sophomores.
To improve on last year's
overall 8-17 mark the Sooners
will have to be more con
sistent, a difficult task be
cause of the inexperience and
the loss of all-conference for
ward Jim Gatewood, their
leading scorer and rebounder.
