Where the Action Is 1
By Larry Eckholt
... or where it isn't!
That is what's bothering many people
who are concerned about the construction
workers' strike in Lincoln now.
The strike has completely stopped
work on all University construction in
cluding the 12,000 seat addition to Ne
braska's Memorial Stadium.
Work on the huge structure had just
started when the strike was called. The
supporting columns were just being poured
when work was halted.
Completion Uncertain
Aquestion looms in the minds of
many. Will the stadium be completed in
time for the 1966 season?
"We have always had the same pol
icy. We do not sell tickets for any game
unless there is a board available for
someone to sit on," Jim Pittenger said.
"We won't send out any confirmations of
tickets until we are positive that the
stadium is completed."
Pittenger said that the University has
always acted under the assumption that
something could go wrong during construc
tion that would cause billing problems.
"An architect can draw up beautiful
plans but a contractor can find that he
faces a problem unless a number of seats
be removed. Therefore we don't make any
commitments unless we are sure," he
said.
Sellouts
At present, the University foresees no
problems with the halted work on t h e
stadium. But if the strike contiues, the
ticket office staff will have one large
headache to face.
There are over 5000 requests for sea
son tickets for the 1966 season waiting
to be confirmed. If completion of the sta
dium is delayed these seats will not be
available.
Pittenger explained that the 1966 foot
ball season is a sellout if "the stadium
isn't ready by the opening game" Texas
Christian on Sept. 17.
"If the addition isn't. ready by the
opening game then we must assume that
it wouldn't be ready for the second game
which is the following week (Utah State).
If that happens, then we have enough or
ders now to declare those games sell
outs," he said.
If such a delay would materialize, the
contractor would have an extra month
to finish the work in time for the Nebraska-Missouri
game on Oct. 29 already
a sell-out on paper.
Things are too indefinite to draw any
conclusions now, and Pittenger summed
things up when he said, "No one will
know for sure until the end of August,
then we'll start worrying!"
Joe Cipriano is quite happy with the
1966-67 schedule for the Husker cagers.
Husker fans will be able to form an
early opinion of the Cornhuskers better
than before. The Huskers have five non
conference home games before they trav
el to Nashville, Tenn. for the Vanderbilt
Invitational. The only non-conference road
game will be with Wyoming on Dec. 7.
The tournament at Nashville will fea
ture Vanderbilt, LaSalle, Portland Univer
sity and the Huskers. It will take place
only a week and a half before the Hus
kers make their conference debut in the
Big Eight Holiday Tournament in Kansas
City, Dec. 27-31.
"The Vanderbilt tournament will give
us that needed experience before we head
down to JC," "Slippery Joe" said.
There's no doubt that the Huskers will
be out to get that tournament trophy.
"I think it is important to note that
this wll be the first time in a long time
that Nebraska has had a 26 game sched
ule. The game with Prague University of
Poland will give our boys added game
experience although it won't count on our
won-loss record," Cipriano explained.
Bob Zenner of KLIN radio says
he's going to either stay home from that
game (on Jan. 2) because his Polish
pronunciation is bad, or spend the eve
ning telling Polack jokes on the air. It
should be an interesting game.
Go Big Red . . . but which Reds?
Stevens Replaces Gates
Baseball Injuries Claim 3
Three Nebraska baseball
regulars will be on the in
jury list when the Huskers
host league leading Oklahoma
State in a double-header this
afternoon and in a single
game on Saturday.
The latest Husker to be in
jured is third baseman Jim
Smith. Smith has a sprained
ankle and it is unlikely that
he will see action this week
against OSU.
Coach Tony Sharpe has
been working with Tony
Sharpe Jr. and Charles Rom
bach at third base in Smith's
absence.
First baseman Bob Brand
and shortstop John Roux are
also on the injury shelf.
Brand's back injury will
probably keep him out of the
Oklahoma State series and
he could possibly be lost for
the remainder of the season.
Roux has pulled a ham
string muscle and is a doubt
ful performer for the three
game series.
Bob Churchich hag been
named by Coach Sharpe as
a possible replacement for
Washburn

In Tennis
Nebraska's tennis team ab
sorbed a 5-2 loss against
Washburn Wednesday after
noon in the NU Coliseum. Bad
weather forced the match to
be held inside.
The Husker's only singles
winner was Rodney Johnsen
with a 12-10 victory over
Randy Harbaugh. Johnsen
teamed with Kile Johnson to
take a doubles match from
Kipling and Merrill.

to lose Gates, but we wish
him well in his new position.
Bob did a g r e a t job for us
and we will miss him."
In joining the Husker staff
full-time, Stevens has quite a
record going for him. He's
been connected with teams
that have won 20 or more
games the past eight seasons.
A star player at Nebraska
Wesleyan, he lettered 3 years
in basketball and one in base
ball, the Plainsmen posted a
20-8 and 23-4 records his jun
ior and senior seasons. As a
high schooler at Upton, Wyo
ming, he played on teams that
won 20 or more games three
straight years.
Following graduation from
Wesleyan, he coached at Alvo
Eagle where his team had a
20-2 mark and was the highest
scoring team in the state
(83.0 per game) during the
1963-64 season. The following
year he skippered Madison to
the state Class B runner-up
spot with a 21-3 mark.
Stevens presently is work
ing on his doctorate degree in
educational psychology. In
addition to helping coach the
Husker cage team. Ed helped
staff the 1965 Cornhusker Bas
ketball School, and he'll be on
the staff again this year.
Stevens will also serve as
freshman baseball coach.

Nebraska has been feeling the pinch with the exodus
of academic faculty members. Now it seems that the
athletic department staff is going to lose one of its most
dedicated and qualified coaches.
Bob Gates, assistant basketball coach, is trading In
his post for the position of athletic director and dean of
men at Beatrice's newly formed John J. Pershing College.
"The new job will give me. a good opportunity to be
head coach in baseketball and baseball," Bob commented,
"however I'll certainly regret leaving the University. I've
enjoyed coaching at Nebraska and it has given me valuable
experience. As far as I'm concerned there's no place like
Nebraska and there never will be."
Gates will begin recruiting for Pershing University
after May 1. rr J ,
"I have some scholarships to offer and well see if
we can lure some good athletes with them. So far we don't
have a basketball or a baseball schedule, but we'll want
to get the players as well as set up the agenda."
A very capable recruiter when it conies to stocking
the new school with athletic talent, one of his basic ten
ets is that coaches in different sports should try to enlist
any qualified players for the University.
Two standouts who prove his theory are Gary Neibauer
and Tom Millsap. Millsap played basketball under Gate?
when he was a freshmen and Neibauer lasted till he wai
a sophomore. Tom, however, found his spot on the track
squd and Gary is a starting pitcher for the baseball team.
Gates plans to make some changes in the style of bas
ketball played at Pershing as compared to NU, but he'll
decide on the differences when he sees the players.
Commenting on NU's freshman basketball squad Gates
stated, "It's difficult to judge how quickly some of the
players will develop. We didn't realize that Tom Baack
or Stuart Lantz would be starting the whole season and
it's equally difficult to assess the frosh team.
"Comparing the freshman teams of the past two years,
I'd have "to say that this year's team is not as strong
overall," he continued. "However there four or five play
ers who will develop later and should become the main
stay of the squad. Next season's varsity team will be
tough to beat and will be high up in the first division fight
ing for the championship."
