Kansas Wins On Track And Court
James Pearse, sports editor
Huskerlan
Gives No
Support
The following article was
written by Larry Eckholt,
assistant to Don Bryant, Ne
braska Sports Information
Director.
It is an open letter to the
students of the University of
Nebraska. Let us all read
it with an open mind.
The day was appropriately
dreary. The fog was so thick
coming in to Lincoln that
some wondered if we'd land
at all.
But those with the basket
ball party were wondering
something else. Would there
be anyone at the airport to
greet the team? The question
was already answered in their
minds. "Who would think of
meeting the team after Ne
braska got trounced by 37
points?" Well, maybe . . .
"Maybe" never came. It
never has.
The trio to Lawrence
started with the same treat
ment. As the Big Red from
Nebraska left the CoHseum
Friday afternoon not a soul
was there to wish the Big
Eight leaders well. OH yes.
there were three members of
Tassels who showed up a lit
tle earlier. They distributed
NU feathers to the team with
a message "Tar and feath
er the Jayhawks." It was
comical. Some one cracked
that the school must really
be in financial trouble.
At the Kansas City airport
a photographer from the Kan
sas City Star met the Hus
kers and their coach. "Gee,
maybe we are a little impor
tant," I thought as Grant
Simmons and Willie Camp
bell posed with Coach Cipri
ano for the nhotographer.
The Huskers traveled the
30-odd miles to LawTence in
four burgundy LTD Fords,
two with black vinyl tops,
two with white vinyl tops.
"Mv god. this is really clas
sy," I said as we n e a r e d
Lawrence, "but it should be
for the nation's Number 8
team."
Once in Lawrence one could
feel the excitement that this
game generated since N ebras
ka beat Kansas on Jan. 18,
to take the conference lead.
Every fraternity house and
sorority house on campus had
a display. It was almost like
Homecoming. Phi Karma The- i
ta, the national Catholic fra
ternity, had a large "G i v e ;
'Em Hell, Hawks" Dlasteredj
across the side of the house, j
All of the dorms had slo-j
gans in the windows, like!
Abel Hall used to do. Nebras
ka was hung in effigy in front
of the Administration Build
ing, but KU has trees on the
campus which helped matters.
A letter addressed to the
NU basketball team wras sent
to the Holiday Inn. In it was
a clipping from the local news
paper showing KU coach Ted
Owens smashing a car label
led Nebraska. A P. S. was
added, "Oh yeah, we totaled
the car."
The school newspaper con
tained ten pages of ads, from
local business firms and liv
ing units, congratulating the
Jayhawks and wishing them
welL
And then the game . . .
Words aren't needed to de
scribe what took place in Al
len Fieldhouse on Saturday
night Most Nebraskans saw
what happened. Or did they?
"I'd like" to have a nickel for
every TV set that was turned
off at halftime in Nebraska,"
somebody said.
Saturday night the Hawks
were hetter than Nebraska.
The Huskers weren't happy
wtH their playing. But most
of the post game talk con
cerned the Big Eight race.
And if there s a playoff?
'"Ve can do it," said a team
member, meaning that NU
eai beat Kansas again.
Bvt there is no sucport In
Huskerland, at least from the
students. No cheerleaders
could find the time to make
the Big Game. No good luck
telegrams to wish the Hus-i
Iters well were sent No one;
to meet the team when it i
comes home could be found, j
But the Coliseum was still ,
there, waiting for the Huskers )
to prepare for the game with I
K-State. The Huskers prac-
ticed the minute they left the
bus. I
The bleacher! weren't np
?fH. Tie Coliseum was quiet.
Vhat a change from the
Ccked Allen Fieldhouse in
wrence. Oh well, tt'i home.

The Sporting Life
By James Pearse
As you enter Lawrence, Kansas from the west on t h e
Kansas Turnpike you ste a sign that says "University of
Ivancnc V n v f TTvif " An tnn , u . i,:u... - j
.ifcuo j.vAt iah, ju iujj ui nidi gieeu nigiiway sign
that greets any traveler to any exit there is a biz Javhawk
striding out toward the open fields beyond the turnpike. Fol
lowing mm are lour smaller Jayhawks, holding there heads
jusi as nign, ana striding just as big.
Ever-present Jayhawk
When you get to the campus, the first thing that im
presses you is the stone Jayhawk near the Kansas Union
overlooking the football stadium and in the shadow of beau
tiful Memorial Campanile.
As you walk through the campus that Javhawk follows
you very step of the way.
You see him on papercups in the Union, on trash bar
rels around the grounds, on carpets, printed on floors, in thp
wldnows of cars, dorms, and fraternity houses yes, that's
ngni, iraiernny nouses, loo.
There is no doubt about the feeling students at Kansas
have toward their University.
All Out To Smash Nebraska
Climaxing a week long drive to "Smash Nebraska" those
students came to Allen Fieldhouse Saturday night and
raised its towering roof another twenty feet with their en
thusiasm. And there was that Jayhawk leading them. Struttine
around in the middle of the court, he carried a sign saying
"Smash Nebraska".
When the game started, and the spirit symbol had to
leave the floor, there was something to take his place.
Every time Kansas scored the big red eye of the Jay
hawk painted on all four sides the overhanging scoreboard
DimKed wiin joy, ana the crowd roared its approval.
Kansas had a team of 17,000 playing Nebraska Saturday
night.
There was something marvelous about the display of
unity in spirit going on all around the arena.
Kansas was a complete team. Every Jayhawk was dedi
cated to his team, win or lose.
For a little while this year, the disappointment of losing
to Nebraska earlier might have blurred their spirit, but the
Jayhawks never lost sight of their team.
And Saturday night 17,000 Jayhawk dreams came true.
Nebraska Alone
What about Nebraska?
The Nebraska basketball team lost alone.
Sure tickets were hard to get hold of, with onlv twentv
five allotted to the University. But you have to think that the
cheerleaders and maybe even the band could have made the
trip. But they didn't ,
There were only a few scattered Nebraskans trying to
hold back the tidal wave of arms and yells being thrust at
them, and damn few of those few Nebraskans were students.
But there was television coverage back in Huskerland.
But how many students had time for that in the mid
dle of Saturday night when the basketball team was out of
town?
Kansas Grabs
Title From NU
No Time?
After all, with parties and activations going on all un
and down the Hollow Line, and with three good movies in
town all at once, and the Christy Minstrels strumming and
humming at good ole Pershing who the hell had time to sit
down in front of a box in a comfortable living room and
watch a basketball game?
If some of those people spilling out their Hollow Line, or
some of those rolling in the aisles at the "Hallejulia Trail",
or some of those clapping along with the Christies could
have walked into the Husker dressing room after the game
I'm sure the toughest of them could not have faced the
scene before them.
How Do You Explain It?
There was captain Grant Simmons sitting on the train
ing table, kicking his legs, head down, hands folded, de
jectedly trying put the puzzle of the proceeding two h o u r s
together.
Nate Branch moved from spot to spot sipping a coke
saying nothing, pondering much.
As I approached Jim Damm he threw a towel gingerly
in the air, smiled, shook his head, then sagged on the bench.
And so it went throughout the room. Ron Simmons alone
with his thoughts, Coley Webb wanting another chance at
the Jayhawks
Cipriano Was With The Team
In the midst of all this was Coach Joe Cipriano. The
coach made his way around to each player, shaking their
hand and offering his smile and words of inspiration.
You caught the feeling of the players. Though it was a
resounding defeat, at no time did their belief in Coach Cip
riano, or the team's potential fade.
As crushing as this defeat was you felt that this team
could come back and beat the best in the country. That's the
type of team it has been all along, starting with last sea
son's triumphant over Michigan.
You had the feeling that this group would go on to win
their remaining games and then bring themselves real hon
or by defeating Kansas in a play-off, if such a thing developed.
But as you left the locker room, and walked into the
crisp Kansas night air, fiUed with Jayhawks the sickening
feeling that the team was doing it alone hit you again, -and
you knew this was the thing that hurt Nebraska most.
Nebraska jaw the Big Eight
Track Championship snatched
from their '".anls as Kansas,
with a victory in the last
event, the mile relay, tri
umphed 41-37.
The Cornhuskers paced by
Dave Crooks blistering 1:09.2
in the 600 which ranks as one
of the best efforts in the his
tory of track had also a dou
ble winner in hurdler Ray
Harvey.
Harvey with a record equal
ling effort of :06.7 in the 60
yard low hurdles stepped in
to the elite winner's circle
once again for his conquest
in the 60 yard high hurdles.
Even without sprint ace.
Charlie Greene, the 60 vard
dash found itself in the Hus
ker camp by the victory of
the victory of the fleet-
footed Olympic sprinter, Lynn
Headlev.
''Tie Nebraska cause was
aided by personal records
from Les Hel'busch who fin
ished fourth in the 880 and
from Orlando Martinez who
placed third in the mile.
Additional points were gar
nered bv Peter Scott's third
in the 1,000 yards and Jim
Beltzer's second in the shot
put with a heave of 57'5".
As the meet drew to a fin
ish the tide of battle rested
upon the outcome of the mile
relay. DesDite a' fine effort by
anchor man Dave Crook,
the Cornhuskers were unable
to catch the swift Jayhawks
who rode the wave of victory
in the mile relay to win the
Big Eight championship.
A number of good efforts
were recorded in Friday's ac
tion. Belteer's best throw of the
meet in the shot nut came in

the 17,000 were for Kansas.
