Knee Slows Fred Hare;
Operation A Possibility
By Bob Flasnick
Assistant Sports Editor
Fred Hare hasn't had much
of a basketball season so far
and he doesn't try to hide his
disappointment. Right now
the Omaha junior is in Lin
coln while the Cornhuskers
are on a three game road trip.
Fred pulled some ligaments
in his right knee in the Kan
sas State game and the knee
has been giving him trouble
since the injury. He had to
have the fluid drained from it
Thursday so that he would
be able to sleep.
"This is probably the worst
year I've had," said Hare,
''I'm looking forward to next
year and just hope that my
knee isn't permanently in
jured." Fred said he will have to
have an operation on the knee
before the season is over if
it doesn't improve.
Hare said that sitting the
bench is something new for
him but admits, "The fact
that we're winning makes sit
ting the bench more easy to
take. When you win every
one's a part of it."
When Hare is able to go full
speed he rebounds with the
best in the league. He led
the team in rebounding as a
sophomore last year. Hare
believes the fact that he is
only 6-1 has it's advantages
when rebounding against tall
men, says Hare.

sidelined again.
They underestimate a
shorter person and feel it's
not necessary to screen him
out. Timing is the most impor
tant thing along with having
a little ability to jump."
Another of Fred's atributes
is following his missed shots.
Fred credits his Omaha Tech
Coach Neil Mosscr with im
pressing on him the impor
tance of following shots. "No
one knows where the ball is
going but you." says Hare.
Nebraska's current success
comes as no surprise to Fred
As a high school All-America
averaging 33 points a game
Fred was hotly sought after
and tried out with teams
everywhere.
Other Big Eight teams "had
one or two good players,"
said Hare, "but here almost
everyone was a good ball
player. I based my decision
on that and my confidence in
Coach Cipriano."
Fred wants to teach Indus
trial Arts in high school when
he graduates from the Uni
versity. He rooms with team
mate Nate Branch, leader of
a popular jczz combo.
"Nate's very musically in
clined," offered Hare. "He's
going to cut a record pretty
soon. I hope it's a success."
Nebraska Slowly Gains
Firm Conference Lead
By James Pearse
Sports Editor
More than one head jerked
in surprise Saturday night as
Nebraska's fast-b r e a k i n g
Cornhuskers put on the brakes
and skidded past Oklahoma
State 45 to 41 in overtime.
The win boosted Nebraska's
league mark to 6-0.
It was a matter of "when
in Gallagher Hall do what
Oklahoma State does."
From the beginning Nebras
ka had difficulty getting the
well disciplined Cowboys to
run with them. Henry Iba's
crew easied their way through
the vaunted Nebraska press
and held their own in the re
bounding department.
Combined with the poor
shooting percentage of t h e
Huskers, these were the fac
tors that turned the game in
to a kind of keep away con
test.
Nebraska, who led 26-22 at
the half, shot 43 times, hit
ting 16 for 37. Oklahoma
State put up only 42 attempts
hitting 16 for 38.
All this poking around led
to an unbelievable final ten
minutes.
Leading 41 to 33 with 9:40
to go in the game, Nebraska
completely committed them
selves to the slow-down type
game.
Nebraska was playing a
game unfamiliar to them and
playing it against the man
who perfected it, Henry Iba.
The folly was evident not
once in those last ten min
utes, did Nebraska score.
Satisfied to take the shots
when they came, Oklahoma
State began to nip at the eight
point advantage.
With 2:11 to go Kieth
Branch tied the score, and
then all sat back to wait for
the extra period.
In the overtime the poor
shooting percentage caught
up to Oklahoma State as they
did not even come close to a
goal.
Tom Baack hit a goal for
Nebraska early in the period
and Grant Simmons sealed
the victory with a pair of
charity tosses just seconds
from the end.
The only two men In double
figures for either team were
Baack and Simmons. Sim
mons led with 18 points and
Baack added 17.
Tonight Nebraska takes on
Oklahoma in the second leg
of its three game trip through
the Sooner State.
The game should offer Ne
braska a chance to cut loose
after Saturday's slow one.
Oklahoma has as much
speed as the Huskers, and
although Nebraska handled
the Sooners easily in Lincoln
they may again find running
rougher on a foreign court,

Note this correction on the
selling of student tickets to
the remaining Nebraska bas
ketball games:
An earlier story reported
that the student tickets would
remain on sale until 4:00 p.m.
the day of the game.
The story should have read:
Following each game, student
tickets again will be placed
on sale for the next home
game and they will remain on
sale to the students only until
4:00 p.m. the day PRECED
ING the game.
Remaining seats will then
be placed on sale as general
admission tickets at 4:30 p.m
the day of the game for either
adults or students on a
first come first served basis
For example, student tickets
for Saturday's game with
Iowa State are now on sale
and will remain on sale to
students only until 4:00 p.m.
Friday.
Any general admission
seats remaining at tnat time
will be placed on sale Satur
day for either adults or stu

Serena Holds
Yacht Lead
A San Francisco crew's
hope of setting a new elapsed

pulco yacht race died with the
wind Friday, but their craft,
Serena, tenaciously clung to
the lead.
At roll call, Ken DeMeuse's
83-foot schooner was reported

Serena was running 16 miles
ahead of the 1964 record, but
even lighter winds were pre

Heads Win
By Bruce Mason
Nebraska's thin clads re
vealed balance and power as
they raced, leaped, and
hurled their way to victory in
their triangular meet with
Oklahoma and Kansas State.
Paced in the field by Jim
Beltzer's record-b r e a k i n g
heave of 57 feet in the shot
put and a 6'8" effort in the
high jump by Steve Krebs, a
5'10" sophomore, the Huskers
gave notice of their new found
strength in field events.
Nebraska dominated the
sprints and hurdles with Ray
Harvey scampering to victory
in the lows and the highs.
Charlie Green, altough not
in his record setting form,
still withstood a stiff chal
lenge from teammate Lynn
Headley to capture the medal
in the 60 yard dash.
The Scarlet and Cream
showed the conference their
strength and balance once
again by the victory of Dave
Crook in the 600 and the cap
turing of the 880 by Les Hell
busch. Crook in the 600 left highly
touted Sooner Calhoun in the
cinders as he sped to a con
vincing win in 1:11.6.
Peter Scott, breaking a sta
dium record in 1,000 yards at
toned for his disappointing
performance in the mile.
A disqualification in the
mile relay for crowding pre
vented Nebraska from scor
ing in every event. A blister
ing anchor leg by Captain
Dave Crook allowed t h e
Huskers to finish 50 yards
ahead in the time 3:23 before
they were disqualified.
Coach Sevigne's squad with
their performance Satur
day obliterated any doubts
that might have existed as
to the equality of this y e a r 's
"cinder corps."
Once again Nebraska ap
pears to have a strong con
tender for another conference
championship. Time will tell.

There are many of us who
find it difficult to understand
some of the finer points of the
deceptively complicated game
of basketball.
Because of Coach Joe Cipri
ano's fine record this year, I
thought it might be informa
tive from the spectator's
standpoint to include a f e w
excerpts from a well used
handbook of basketball strate
gy. "1. Theory of the Game: To
score more points than the op
posing team. This may be ac
complished in a number of
ways.
A. Emphasize defense.
(This requires meticulous
coaching, deadeye shooting,
infallable ball-handling, and a
very patient and well-adjusted
home crowd.)
B. emphasize offense. (This
gives more room for mechan
ical errors, putting more em
phasis on rebounding, speed,
and hustle and desire. The
home crowd will like this one.
The alums will like it, there
fore the Athletic Director will
too. So what are you waiting
for-useit!)"
There are some small mod
ifications the informed fan
will want to watch for under
certain conditions. Again I
quote from the handbook.
"2. The coach of the offen
sive theory will want to take
certain things into considera
tion. A. He will want to use the
full court press in all proba
bility. (This is usually run in
college as a zone press. That
is every man is responsible
for an area, and should stop
the progress of the ball if it
comes into his area.)"
The second consideration of
the theory of the offensive
game has been purplexing
some Nebraska fans who
cant seem to understand its
finer points, and yet who find
it hard to argue with sucess.
"B. He will want to make
nse of the fast break. (The
fast break is rebounding the
ball after the opposing team
shoots, and throwing or drib
bling the ball as swiftly as
possible to the other end of
the court in hopes of creating
a man for man advantage
in other words, run like hell.)
i. There is one modification
of this offense. As soon as a
moderate lead is achieved,
the coach should slow the
game down and play the de
fensive style. This should be
done only until the qpposing
team evens the score, and
then the fast break should be
used again to build up a lead.
Coaches note: Although
there are some novices who
might advocate just piling up
a lead, the games will not be
as thrilling if the coach docs
this. Also the speculators will
be fit to be tied If you keep
winning games. Of course it's
bound to catch up with you
Sooner or later . . .'"
Moral: Don't sit on a lead
it could hatch an ugly duckling.

ROOMMATES: THEIR CAUSE AND CURE
You'd think that with all the progress we have made in
the education game, somebody would have found a cure
for roommates by now. But no. Roommates remain as big
a problem today as they were when Ethan Mather foundeo
the first American college.
(Contrary to popular belief, Harvard was not the first.
Mr. Mather started his institution some 100 years earlier.
And quite an institution it was, let me tell you ! Mr. Mather
built schools of liberal arts, fine arts, dentistry and tan
ning. He built a lacrosse stadium that seated 200,000.
Everywhere on campus was emblazoned the stirring Latin
motto CAVE MVSS1 -"Watch out for moose." The stu
dent union contained a bowling alley, a weighing ma
chine, and a sixteen-chair barber shop.)
(It was this last feature the barber shop that, alas,
brought Mr. Mather's college to an early end. The student
body, being drawn chiefly from the nearby countryside,
was composed almost entirely of Pequot and Iroquois In
dians who, alas, had no need of a barber shop. They
braided the hair on top of their heads, and as for the hair on
their faces, they had none. The barber, Tremblatt Follicle
by name, grew so depressed staring day after day at 16 emp
ty chairs that one day his mind gave way. Seizing his vibra
tor, he ran outside and shook the entire campus till it crum
bled to dust. This later became known as Pickett's Charge.)
But I digress. We were exploring ways for you and your
roommate to stop hating each other. This is admittedly
difficult but not impossible if you will both bend a bit,
give a little.
I remember, for example, my own college days (Berlitz
'08). My roommate was, I think you will allow, even less
agreeable than most. He was a Tibetan named Ringading
whose native customs, while indisputably colorful, were
not entirely endearing. Mark you, I didn't mind so much
the gong he struck on the hour or the string of firecrack-i
ers he set off on the half hour. I didn't even mind that he!
inged chicken feathers every dusk and daybreak. What I
did mind was that he singed them in my hat.
To be fair, he was not totally taken with some of my',
habits either-especially my hobby of collecting water. I
had no jars at the time, so I just had to stack the water
any-old-where.
Well, sir, things grew steadily cooler between Ringa
ding and me, and they might actually have gotten ugly
had we not each happened to receive a package from home
one day. Ringading opened his package, paused, smiled
shyly at me, and offered me a gift.
"Thank you," I said. "What is it?"
"Yak butter," he said. "You put it in your hair. In Ti
betan we call it gree see kidstuff."
"Well now, that's mighty friendly," I said and offered him
a gift from my package."Nowyou must have one of mine."
"Thank you," he said. "What is this called ?"
"Personna Stainless Steel Razor Blades," I said.
"I will try one at once," he said. And did
"Wowdow !" he cried. "Never have I had such a smooth)
close, comfortable shave! '
"Ah, but the best is yet!" I cried. "For you will get
many, many smooth, close, comfortable shaves from your
Personna Blade-each one nearly as smooth, close, and
comfortable as the first ! "
"Wowdow!" he cried.
"Moreover," I cried, "Personna Blades come both in
Double Edge style and Injector style!"
"Sort of makes a man feel humble," he said
"Yes," I said. ' a-
We were both silent then, not trusting ourselves to
peak. Silently we clasped hands, friends at last, and I am
proud to say that Ringading and I remain friends to this
day. We exchange cards each Christmas and firecrackers
each Fourth of July.
