The Sporting Life
By James Pearse
Sports Editor
Tempo makes music go. Tempo is also what makes
Nebraska's basketball team go.
With six games left on the conference schedule, Nebras
ka finds themselves alone atop the Big Eight with a perfect
8-0 mark. When you consider that the Huskers were at most
a threat before the season started, that's a pretty fair
record. Couple it with the national ranking the Huskers have
received, and you have a bona fide surprise.
Or Is it a surprise? When you compare this year's per
formance with that of last season the answer is yes, it is a
surprise. But if you consider this season in the light of Coach
Joe Clprinao's building program and institution of his type
of basketball, the answer is no, it is not a complete surprise.
Coach Cipriano, with his tempo philosophy of basketball,
is responsible for Nebraska's success.
me coacn oeiieves a team tnat can piay at only one
speed can be handled. Therefore, he has gone about putting
together a team here at Nebraska that is capable of playing
a diversified game.
What is Tempo?
Let's examine this "tempo" philosophy for a moment.
As an example of a team that can play only one speed
slow let's take Michigan.
A real meat grinder a year ago, the Wolverines, with
basically the same personel, are just another good ball club
this year.
They lumbered into the NCAA finals last spring only to
be humiliated by a quick UCLA team. But it was not com
pletely a story of UCLA 's blinding speed that brought Michi
gan's downfall.
Michigan had as good, if not better material, but they
could only go at one speed slow. As a result they were
unable to shift gears to cope with the speedy Uclans, and so
they lost.
Coach Cipriano believes that his Huskers are at a point
now where the delay game complements the run and
press. It allows Nebraska to control the game by keeping
the opposition guessing and off-balance.
Why Not Run?
But the question comes up: Why stop running if you!
have leaped out in front by twenty points?
Simple. You can't run all night. I
Take another example from the Big Ten, Iowa. Henry j
Miller, Iowa's coach, is one of the masters of the pressure !
game.
Miller says if you keep the same pressure on the oppo
sition all night, there will be a two to four minute period
when they break down. That is when you win the ball game.
Sounds good. And it even works. UCLA proved it, and
so did this year's Iowa team, for a while.
Take a look at the basis for Miller's philosophy: "The
object of coaching basketball is to make the game wind up
as a completely automatic reflex action on the part of t h e
players."
The flaw in this premise is evident.
Control Belongs To The Coach
What happens if the game becomes clouded with mis
takes (as often happens in a go-go type game) and your
team spends a lot of time standing around thinking about a
foul just called or a traveling violation?
That's correct fans. Basketball suddenly ceases to be
"a completely automatic reflex action." The game sudden
ly winds up in the coaches hands again, where it belongs.
The result of this is that you have coaches like Miller.
Always on the court hollering at someone, whether it be the
officials or the floor sweepers at half-time.
And why? Because he doesn't know what to tell his play
ers. Except perhaps, "Go out there and make this game a
completely automatic reflex action, gang."
When that happens you lose to teams like Wisconsin,
who beat Iowa 69-68.
Or worse you lose to a power like Texas Western (one
of two major undefeated college teams) after you have
them down by nearly fifteen points in the first few min
utes, as low a did in a Christmas tournament.
But if you can run out in frgnt by twenty points, and then
waltz the opposition to the showers, you have control of the
game. And he who controls wins.
Cipriano's Style
Saturday night was an excellent example of Nebraska's
ability to play various speeds successfully.
The game began sluggishly, but when Nebraska drew
even at the 12:00 minute mark, they put on the press. It
worked. And when the press works you have the foundation
for the fast break, which also worked.
Nebraska outscored ISU 10-0 during one stretch of press
and run.
This burst gave the Huskers an eight point lead which
they never lost.
Then with around seven minutes left and Nebraska hold
ing a 67-56 lead, the Huskers down shifted.
They began to work for the good shot. (This delay game
may not be as slow as some people would like to think.
(When Nebraska runs they have blinding speed and any let
up is like walking.)
Over those last seven minutes Grant Simmons was
found all alone under the basket for two or three easy buck
ets. Can you think of a better position to take a shot from?
But what is more important is that Nebraska scored
with the delay game. Also, they did not lose one point of the
eleven point lead they held at the seven minute mark. The
final score: 81-70.
I'd say that Coach Cipriano sets a pretty fine tempo.
Kansas is finding it hard to beat, too.
Freshmen Win First

NU Wins
On Track
By Bruce Mason
Nebraska ended its home
indoor track season with the
sweet taste of victory linger
ing on their lips as they
downed Wyoming 76-43.
Lynn Headley, filling in
capably for the late-arriving
speedster Charlie Greene,
raced to victory in the 60 yard
dash in the time of :06.3.
The trio of Charlie Greene,
Dave Crook, and Peter Scott
fresh from two victories and
a second at the United States
Track and Field Federation
Meet at New York arrived
too late for Greene to com
pete in his speciality, the 60
yard dash.
However, the tardy arrival
did not prevent the capturing
of the 440 by Nebraska's cap
tain, Dave Crook.
Scott, switching from the
1.000 yards to the 880, coasted
to an easy victory over the
runner-up, H u s k e r Noval
Jones.
In the 1,000 yards Lcs Hell
busch supplied the lead in an
all Nebraska cast, as the
sophomore from Columbus
finished first, pursued by fel- j
low Huskers, Orlando Martin-
ez and Joe Scott.
Ray Harvey, a Memorial
Stadium record in the 60-yard
low hurdles with the time
:06.8. nicked the last hurdle
and sprawled to victory on
the cinders.
The Scarlet and Cream
added victories in the 600
yard run and the mile with
the conquests of Ron Lee and
Orlando Martinez.
In the field, Nebraska's
"Muscle-man" Jim Beltzer
added 4lis inches to his var
sity shot put record with a
winning toss of 57'4' 2".

Still Perfect In League
Grant Simmons Directs Team
Victory Over Pesky Cyclones
ry
By James Pearse
Still a little leg weary from
their successful swing through
Oklahoma, t h e Nebraska
Cornhuskers displayed fine
execution of nearly every
phase of their game at some
time or other Saturday night
to defeat Iowa State, 81-70.
The victory gave Coach Joe
Cipriano's Cornhusker corps
a perfect 8-0 Big Eight confer
ence mark and a 16-3 over-all
record.
AH season long Nebraska
has been a team that has won
because they have had total
team effort. It is alwys hard
to single out a star in any Ne
braska victory, and the w I n
over ISU is no exception. This
dedication to the total effort
Is the key to success in the
type of game Nebraska plays.
And if dedication is the key
to success, then a team lead
er is the key necessary dedi
cation. Grant Simmons Saturday
night showed the type of lead
ership that has made h i m
captain of the team.
Nebraska got off to a slow
start, falling behind 5-0 at the
outset. Fouls and turnovers
kept the Huskers from break
ing into their running game.
Slowly Nebraska made up
the early deficit and tied the
score when Simmons hit a
goal with 12:45 to go in the
first half.

Simmons, was beginning to
work, as ISU was forced to
turnover the ball after failing
to get across mid-court in the
allotted ten seconds.
Then with the score 17-15 in
favor of ISU Nebraska called
for a time-out.
Coining out of the huddle
with 12:01 on the clock, it wa
all Simmons and his Nebras
ka teammates. . Turning the
trick as he had done earlier
in the week at both Oklahoma
and Oklahoma City, Simmons
got the fast break operating
at full tilt.
But the fast-break won't go
without the press. On the
press it was Simmons and
Willie Campbell leading the
way.
Before ISU could call time
out with 9:18 remaining in the
half, the Huskers had climbed
from a two point deficit to an
eight point lead, 25-17.
And so it went throughout
the night. Each man had his

all was leader Grant Sim
ons. It was Simmons early in the
second half who worked the
press and break to boost Ne
braska to a 57-48 lead after
ISU had closed to within
three, 47-44.
It was Simmons in the last
seven minutes who guided the
successful delay game which
netted the Huskers their last
14 points in easy fashion.
While Simmons was lead
ing the attack, his mates were
showing why Nebraska is on
top of the Big Eight.
Campbell was working un
derneath the basket, stopping
ISU's two big men Raul
Duarle and Don Smith.
Smith totaled only eight
points in the first half, and a
mere three rebounds. Smith
was the league's leading re
bounder going into the game.
He finished the game with

turnovers ISU had through
the night. Unofficially 14 of
those turnovers were caused
by the press.
Tom Baack had trouble get
ting untracked, but ended the
game with 10 points.
In the second half, Nate
(Top) Branch went on an
eight minute rampage. Dur
ing that time the Top Branch
netted six points off the fast
break, stole the ball on t h e
press, and blocked a couple
of shots. Branch finished the
game with 16 points, behind
only Simmons (22) for Ne
braska. Then there was Stuart
Lantz. He ran, he rebounded,
he scored, he pressed, but
what 8158 fans in attendance
will remember is one shot
that displayed it all.
It came with just under
nine minutes remaining in the
contest, and ISU closing again
at 61-56.
Nebraska came down on a
fast break. Lantz took a pass
from the center man and left
the floor about nine feet from
the basket. With the basket
ball resting in his hand and
his arm extended above h i s
hand, Lantz gracefully sailed
up and up and up.
By the time he reached the
basket his elbow was above
the rim. Then, in one quick
snap of his wrist, he sent the
ball ripping through the cords.
The follow through found
Lantz on the floor beyond the
end line, and everyone else
in the coliseum on their feet
screaming their amazement.
All the scout from Missouri
(NU's next opponent) could
muster was, "My God!"
Almost every Husker saw
some action. Fred Hare, mak
ing his first appearnace in
some time, came off the
bench to score six points and
play the press well. J i m
Damm chipped in his steady
performance. Coley Webb re
bounded well, and on it goes.

Gymnasts
Defeated
Nebraska lost both ends of
a triangular gymnastics meet
with the Air Force Academy
and the University of Colorado
in Lincoln Saturday.
It was a matter of the Air
Force showing as much en
thusiasum for a good per
formance on the still rings as
they do for a brilliant touch
down run.
Each time an Air Force
man completed his exercise,
he was greeted with cheers
from his teammates and wel
comed as he returned to the
bench.
The show of spirit was ap
propriate as only one Ne
braskan defeated an airman.
Sophomore Pat McGill from
Lincoln won the floor exercise.
Alan Armstrong of Nebras
ka did a fine job on the still
rings, but his effort was
shadowed by a mere .05 of
a point by Higgins of the Air
Force and .3 of a point by
Boatright of Colorado. Some
observers felt Armstrong's
showing deserved a first place
rating.
Rich Bcran's finished sec
ond to both Air Force and
Colorado in the all-around.
Higgins of the Air Force beat
him, while Fisher of Colorado
nosed out Beran.
Others showing up well for
the Husker gymnasts were
Santoro in the long horse and
Stone on the parallel bars.
Next week Nebraska will be
in Lawrence, Kansas to take
on the University of Kansas.
The only remaining home
meet is the freshman-varsity
affair.
