Indoor Track News
(Note: This is the first of a
four-part series on Big Eight
Conference track, leading up
to the indoor track and field
championships, February 25
26, in Kansas City's Municipal
Auditorium. Subsequent fea
tures will deal with the field
events, middle distances, and
distances.)
Never before has a field with
such a great potential been as
sembled for the Big Eight
Conference indoor track cham
pionships, February 25-26,
here in Kansas City's Munici
pal Auditorium, as this year.
Seven men who will be
competing in this talent
stacked meet have won a to
tal of 10 national champion
ships, either of he NCAA or
the National Track and Field
Federation variety, since last
year's meet. In all, eight of
the individual champions and
42 of the possiMe 65 point win
ners from last year's Confer
ence meet are returning, an
all-time high.
Included on that national
champion list Is Nebraska's
quick-talking and quick-stepping
Charlie, Greene, the
league's defending 60-yard
dash winner and a co-holder
of the world's :05.9 record in
the event.
By winning his specialty
last Friday at the Federa
tion Invitational in New York
City, Greene took his second
step toward becoming the
best of the sprinters. Num
bered now among his victims
are Fresno State's Darel New
man Green beat him en
route to his record-tying
mark and Fordham's Sam
Perry, one of the losers Fri
day. That leaves only Bob
Hayes and Kentucky State's
Craig Wallace.
Because Hayes is a profes
sional footballer now, Greene
will have to best him by run
ning a :05.8. After winning in
New York City, Greene flatly
said, "I'm sure I can do
:05.8 if I have the compe- j
tition." !
60-Yard Dash
That competition could be
right in his own back yard
and develop at the league in
door affair. Such swifites as
Oklahoma's James Jackson,
Kansas' Bob Hanson, Kansas
State's Ron Moody, Missouri's
Charlie Brown, and his own
teammate, Lynn Headley.
Jackson is the current hold
er of the Conference's record
for the 60 haul, a six-flat tim
ing in a preliminary race at
last year's meet. He beat
Greene in this race, mark
ing one of two times the Ne
braska whippet has been
beaten indoors his other
loss came the night Hayes ran
his record-setting :05.9.
Greene has never really
gotten over the beating by
Jackson and he intimates he
probably won't until he beats
the Sooner on the Kansas
City boards and puts a new
record beside the name of
Charlie Greene. In their only
meeting so far this year,
Greene has taken Jackson on
the Nebraska runway.
Headley is the second na
tional champion in the 60
field, winning the Federation
century last June, and t h e
second place finisher to
Greene in the 1965 meet. In
the same class with Headley,
who is also an Olympian, are
Moody and Brown.
Moody slipped to a :06.1
clocking, a freshman record.
Brown has been the picture
of consistency, hitting :06.2 in
all his starts until the Confer
ence meet when he trimmed
his best to :06.1. A newcom
er calling for consideration is
Wrestlers Lose 20-9;
Missouri Here Next
The Northwest Missouri
State College wrestlers, who
had a string of 42 dual match
victories broken last Friday
at Hays State College, beat
Nebraska Wednesday night
20-9.
Nebraska now posts t w o
wins against 11 losses for the
season.
The only pin in the match
came when Northwest M i s
souri's 160-pounder Rich
rTiiiriiwtiili-'-JJ----J-
Colorado's Estes Banks, who,
like Brown, is perhaps better
known for his football ex
ploits. Banks and Kansas' Bob
Hanson have both gone :06.2.
60-Yard Low Hurdles
Hanson is maybe the most
underrated sprinter in the
league. He was third in the
60 last year before winning
his 60-yard low hurdles bid,
bettering, among others.
Brown.
However, Hanson is one of
the league's six defending
champions returning who has
had his best effort for the
year beaten. His greatest bar
rier now could be another Ne
braskan, Ray Harvey. Har
vey, a native Jamaican, heads
the field with the Conference's
top mark in the event, a :06.8,
which equals Hanson's win
ning time of last year.
A definite threat is Okla
homa's Bill Calhoun. Mainly
a quarter-miler, Calhoun has
hit :06.9 twice, both off a dirt
surface. Out of the shadow of
the great Jim Miller for the
first time. Colorado's Warren
Houghton has also scored with
an :06.9. Hanson s top tor tne
year is a good :07.0.
60-Yard High Hurdles
Just beyond the realm of
another race for the sprinters
and involving a little more
finesse when it comes to
clearing the barriers is the 60
high hurdle race. This event
is almost unique in this year's
meet it doesn't have a de
fending champion.
Harvey and Houghton get
away from the sprint aces in
this one, but will have to best
Iowa State's Darryl Green for
the title. Houghton Is the ear
ly leader with his :07.4. Har
vey and Oklahoma's Art
Younger have gone :07.5, put
ting three ahead of Green in
the rankings.
However. Green, who won
the 120 high hurdles in 1 a s t
spring's outdoor, has tried the
60 distance only once this
year, getting an :07.6. His 120
title was the first on the
track for the Cyclones since
the old Big Six days.
"One of these days Green is
going to realize he is a pretty
good hurdler and then he'll
become a great one." says
Bob Lawson, the Cyclone
coach
The potential is there j
as he counts a :07.4 of last
year among his best efforts.
The threat to all the high
stickers could be Kansas
State's Harold Wooten, a lithe
sophomore who swept to an
Riff
:07.3 in winning the
Eight's freshman telegraphic j
title in record-tying fashion, i
i ai ,

will be th 60 dash and the 60
high hurdles for the Big Eight
freshmen, two of the new
events added to this year's
schedule.
In the short sprint. Okla
homa's Long brothers, Glen
and Wayne, and Kansas
State's ferry Davis appear to
be among the leaders. Glen
Long has had a :06.2, while
Wayne Long and Davis have
:06.3's. Best of the hurdlers
has to be Kansas' George
Byers, who carded a world
record tying :06.7 in the 60
lows.
Tickets for the meet are
now on sale, either by mail
or at the Auditorium's box of
fice. All seats for Friday
night's (February 25) prelim
inaries and semi-finals plus
the finals in the varsity broad
jump and all freshman events
are $1. Tickets for Saturday
night's (February 26) finals
are $2, $3, $4.

The Happening Of The Comic
Stuart Lantz Lifts Nebraska
By James Pearse
Sports Editor
"i
guess you could say
sort of developed all at once,"
you hear as you talk with
i Stuart Lantz, a quiet, thought
ful man off the court.
"The summer I was a
sophomore (in high school) I
was 5'6". Then something hap
pened." Now 'you're certain
you are talking to the most
explosive member of this
year's Nebraska Cornhusker
basketball team.
A natural character with
superb talent, Stuart, 6'3", is
still just kind of happening,
as he did over that summer
five years ago back in Union
town, Pennsylvania, about forty-eight
miles from Pitts
burgh. Take for example last Sat
urday night against Iowa
State. Stuart took the ball on
the wing of a fast-break and,
without so much as head fake,
left the floor and began to
soar toward the basket, some
ten feet away.
'i thought I'd taken off too
soon," says 'Stu', whose el
bow was above the rim by the
time he reached the basket,
and it appeared he could have
kept right on sailing up to
meet the American flag hang
ing on the north w all of the
Coliseum.
After hammering the ball
down through the basket ("I
can't think of a better per
centage shot," said Coach Joe
C i p r i a n o afterward) Stu
sprawled on the floor beyond
the endline. ISU and over
eight thousand fans were bug
eyed with amazement. Stuart
had just happened again.
Stu was a high jumper in
high school, but "I only
reached 6'3". And what's
wrong with that? "That's
only my height." Oh.
Playing for Uniontown High
School isn't the easiest way
to be a star in high school bas
ketball. Abe Everhart, the
coach at Uniontown, is one of
the five winningest high
school coaches in land.
While Stu was there, Union
town amassed records of 24-1,
29-1, and 28-0 while winning
two state titles.
Most of the boys who Stu
played with no play college
bali somewhere. One plays
witn 0ni. Sfate
of the Big
Ten. and others at various
smaller colleges in the East.
Stu did not win a starting
f"""1"" "
his senior year,
But in his senior year his
happening's began to be
noticed and the colleges came
calling.
'Because I was in track as
well as basketball I didn't get
to visit too many schools.
Coach Cipriano came to see
me at the same time toacn
Melton came to see Ben Gre-
; gory (NeorasKa iootoau nan
jback also from Uniontown i,"
I Stu recalls.

to me
Thev were inter
ested."
And so Stu came to visit
Nebraska in the spring. "It
was May 8. The day of the
spring football game," con
tinues Stu. "It must have
been 81 degrees. I loved the
weather. I didn't know it
could get down to twentv be
low." So, Stu and his friend Ben
Gregory, chose Nebraska.
Among the things that make
Stu an attractive basketball
player, Coach Cipriano cites
"his great timing to go with
his jumping ability."
When Stu came to Nebras
ka he had never played any
where but center, because of
his jumping ability.
"I couldn't picture playing
! guard. I never handled . the
ball. 1 had always gone down
j the floor and waited for some
one else to bring it up." says
! Stu. "I had to learn to play
guard."
Stu has learned well while
not forgetting how to play the
post. Says Coach Cipriano,
"Stuart can play any position
on the court. This is very un
usual for a sophomore. He
stepped right in the post for
us when Willie (Campbell)
was hurt."
And how does Stu feel about
his new role?
"I don't mind playing
guard. You get a real beating
at the post," muses Stu. Then
with a sense of sympathy that

,'i do things I don't even believe I do
comes from knowing the sit
uation, Stu says, "I feel sorry
for some centers. It's like a
meat factory under the
boards."
Delivering a final comment
on his new position, Stu shows
the comical style he uses to
keep the squad and the fans
always loose and alert.
"When its rough I go to
guard. But I don't mind it at
guard."
Stu doesn't mind his new
home either. "Nebraska has
the friendliest campus I've
seen," says Stu. "There's no
better residence than Selleck.
It's just like home."
The elementary education
major continues, "I had to
study last year. Turned out
not to be so bad."
"I thought college coaches
would be the big bosses. No
fun to be with. But its just
the opposite," St . says speak
ing of his coaches.
"They are all good guys,
good natured. Coach Cipriano
joins in on the trips. I like
that, I really do. The Coach
knows when to joke, and when
it is tirhe to get serious. He's
the boss, all the time," says
Stu admiringly.
Speaking of Nebraska's
style of play Stu comes alive.
"I'd like to keep running, but
we have no need to. We slow
it down to wait for a good
shot. Sometimes we get im
patient and take a bad one
though. The coach tells what

he wants us to do, and we
do it. He's the boss."
Stu credits his summer
pick-up games with Rod Thorn
(New York Knickerbockers)
as helping him learn good de
fense. And Stu firmly believes
in defense. "I thought maybe
you could slack off a little on
defense. But you've got to
watch it. You can't imagine
how tough defense is in the
league. You can't get room
to breathe."
Again on the Cipriano style
of basketball, Stu continues
"I love to run. We kill a
team. We run them to death.
Our fast-break surprises ine
sometimes. The thing about it
is that all our guys can fast
break," Stu explains.
When questioned about his
own performance on the court,
Stu modestly replied, "I get
rebounds because all our
guys are good jumpers. The
defense can't concentrate on
screening out one man. Each
man has to take his own
man."
With that witty looked creep
ing back into his eye, Stu ex
plains his technic. "1 can out
fox my man. It's like a psych.
I don't get psyched out,
though."
He continues. "I talk to
guys. It makes them mad.
There was this one guy from
Oklahoma City who talked to
me all night. I just laughed.
I hurt him that way. He was
talkin', and I was laughin'."
The reason Stu doesn't
'psych' his opponents more
is because "I want to con
sume all my energy. It takes
a lot out of you to talk when
you're running."
Stu's ambition is for Ne
braska to win all the rest of
their games, "one at a
time."
"Sure would like to get in
to some post-season action.
Then we'd get a chance to
show that we could beat some
of those teams ranked ahead
of us," says Stu, emphasiz
ing that the conference race
comes first.
