You Can't
Win 'cm All
By BOB FLASXICK
On the brink of another athletic year at Nebraska it
might be good to take a look backwards and briefly survey
one of the great years in Cornhusker athletics.
In the 11 intercollegiate sports at Nebraska during the
1965-66 seasons, the Huskers had two firsts, two seconds, two
thirds, one fourth, two fifths, one sixth, and one seventh
place finished in Big Eight athletics.
That's not a bad record in itself, but what makes it
better is that Nebraska's high finishes were in the big sports.
The two firsts were in football and outdoor track, seconds
came in basketball and indoor track with the baseball and
swimming teams ending up third in Big Eight competition.
Nebraska's outdoor track championship late in the 1965
66 school year was frosting on the cake of an already suc
cessful year and it probably came as something x)f a sur
prise to many. This is understandable since most of the out
door track competition prior to the conference meet conies
at various relay meets around the country which fail to test
total team strength.
It would have been good to listen to Coach Frank Sevigne
who stated before leaving for the conference meet at Mis
souri that he thought Nebraska would qualify enough men
to win the meet. The Huskers, true to his word, qualified
more men than any other team, including Oklahoma who had
beaten Nebraska for the indoor title 41 to 37, and then went
on to win with a total of 113 points to secondplace Oklahoma's
103.
has something to say, it's best to listen, he certainly knows
what he's talking about.
It is questionable as to whether or not Nebraska will
be able to repeat in 1967, but it promises to be a colorful
track campaign with the national spotlight falling on Big
Eight track, much of it on Kansas' sophomore distance
phenomenon Jim Ryun.
If Nebraska's track championship can't be called a sur
prise, the term easily qualifies to describe Nebraska's jump
to second place in the Big Eight basketball race.
Even the boldest pre-season prognosticates would have i
found it difficult to vision the Huskers in a neck and neck
battle with national powerhouse Kansas for a conference
title. Nebraska was the only conference team to beat Kan
sas during the season, but in the second encounter with the
Jayhawks at Lawrence the Kansans clearly showed their
superiority to the boys from the north. Nonetheless, it was a
big accomplishment for Coach Joe Cipriano in his third year
at Nebraska to bring the Huskers out of basketball duldrums
and turn them into a title contender with his fast breaking
and pressing style of basketball.
It's only fair though to recall a number of close calls in
last year's 10-0 season, namely Missouri, Oklahoma State
and Air Force. Lady Luck smiled on Nebraska last year in
a number of crucial situations and lets hope she does so
again in 1966.
This is the way the 1966 Big Eight race looks to us.
1. Nebraska Bigger and better than ever
2. Missouri The Tigers are always tough
3. Colorado This could be the Buffalo?' year.
4. Oklahoma On the way up with a new coach and an
9l4ttSdaion. -f..-..
' 5. Iowa State Tough but not a contender.
6. Oklahoma State Could cause some headaches.
7. Kansas The Jayhawks don't have the horses.
8. Kansas State There's no place like home.

The heavy contact is over
for Nebraska's Cornhuskers
until they meet TCU this
Saturday in the season open
er. Following a spirited game
type scrimmage Saturday,
Coach Bob Devaney said
there would be no heavy hit
ting scheduled in practice this
week except for "a little spot
contact."
Devaney called the Huskers
physical condition, "about the
same as it has been in the
past." He said he has been a
little disappointed in the en
thusiasm shown by his squad
so lar this year, but noted
that it is a veteran team.
The only Husker likely to
miss the contest because of
injuries is center Bob Hill.
Defensive tackle Dick Czap
has recovered from a back in
jury and is scheduled to see
action , along with halfback
Harry Wilson, hobbled with
an injury last week.
Devaney said the problem
at offensive end appears to
be clearing up a little. "At
the present time it looks bet
ter than we thought it would
be," said the Husker Coach.
Players Devaney credited
with showing improvement
since workouts began were
halfback Dick Davis, end
Tom Penney, end Dennis
Morrison, and defensive back
Adrian Fiala.
Devaney believes that the
TCU game will be the tough
est opener he's had since coin
ing to Nebraska. He credits
the Horned Frogs as having
a "good balance between run
ning and passing." The Hus
ker coach said his team would
run mostly out of its multiple
offense T formation with an
unbalanced line and perhaps
a little I formation thrown in
to make it interesting.

The facilities open to intra
mural football tills year are
still uncertain as intramural
teams prepare to swing into
action.
Bids have been let for the
building of a new women's
physical education building
to be constructed on the P.E.
field north of University High
School. If construction begins
on the field during the course
of the intramural football
schedule, the sight will have
to be abandoned as a play
ing area for intramural
games.
At present the area con
tains four intramural football
fields.
The three intramural fields
at the Agriculture College
will have to carry the brunt
of the load should construc
tion halt play on the city
campus fields.
Intramural Director Joel
Meier said Monday that a cut
in intramural field space
might necessitate cancella
tion of round robin play and
instead force intramural
teams to play in a single or
double elimination tourna
ment. Another possibility for play
ing area is the mall in front
of the University Coliseum.
It would be possible to locate
two football fields at this lo
cation but as yet the Univer
sity has not handed down a
decision on this proposal sub
mitted by Meier. Meier said he
is "playing the situation by
ear."
The deadline for football
team entries is Friday with
games scheduled to begin
next Monday.
The space problem and oth
er intramural topics will be
discussed tonight at a meet
ing for all intramural man
agers in room 114 of the P.E.
Building at 7:00 p.m. All
teams interested -in playing
intramural football must
have a representative at the
meeting.
One o the topics of t h e
meeting will be discussion on
the initiation of a Intramural
Advisory Board Council.
Meier calls the proposed
board, "something that we
need to help handle disciplin
ary problems as well as rules
and program changes."
Early plans for the council
designate two representatives
for fraternities, two represen
tatives for dorms, and one
representative for independ-
Election of these represen
tatives is expected to take
place in one of the early in
tramural managers meetings.
- An intramural officials cli
nic will be held Thursday at
7:00 p.m. in room 114 of the
P.E. Building. AH individuals
interested in officiating intra
mural football must, attend
this meeting.
Those interested in playing
intramural golf should regis
ter immediately in room 10'
of the P.E. Building. The first
round of golf can be played,
as early as Saturday, Sep
tember 17 with the deadline
for the first round being Sep
tember 25.
CJJ Surfer Mending
Boulder, Colo., Sept. How
do you go about mending a
weak back following disc sur
gery? Surf before turf, is the for
mula Colorado's All-American
defensive end candidate Sam
Harris used this summer and
it seems to have worked out
very well.
Surfing was Harris' major
activity during the summer as
he recuperated and rehabili
tated following May surgery.
You might expect that a Ha
waiian would find a way to
work the surf into his sched
ule. Harris did, with zest.
"You get bounced around
quite a bit in those waves,"
grins Harris. "But nothing
like the way you get bounced
around when you're trying to
stop a sweep by a team like
Missouri or Nebraska. And, I
assume, Miami. The fact thnt
I was able to surf a lot r al
ly helped my back to get
strong again."
Pin Team
Tries Out
Tryouts for Nebraska's Big
Eight bowling team will start
Sunday, September 18th at
2:00 p.m. at the Nebraska
Union bowling lanes.
All entrants must bowl a
total of nine games after
which the number of bowlers
will be cut to around fifteen.
Final cuts will take place aft
er the roll-offs which begin
September 25th.
The 10 member team which
is selected will represent Ne
braska in the Big Eight Bowl
ing League. There will be a
charge of $3.50 for all participants.
Here is a question-and-an-
s w e r session with Colorado
Coach Eddie Crowder on Sun
day, following 10 days of prac
tice and the final game scrim-
mage before the Miami opener.
Q: The Big Eight Skywrit
ers predicted your team will
finish second this fall and sev
eral picked you to win. What
is your reaction to this?
A: We still do not have the
superior numbers of talented
men to be predictably good,
like Nebraska. But wer are in
by far the best situation in
the fours years we have been
at Colorado. For. .us to be an
outstanding team, our de
fense will have to be even bet
ter than last fall.
Q: How does this Colorado
team compare with the great
Oklahoma teams you were as
sociated with both as a play
er and assistant coach?
A: The personnel of this
team compares very favorab
ly with many of those teams.
There is a tremendous im
provement. however, in t h e
overall calibre of the B i g
Eight conference. No compar
ison. Every team in tha
league is much better now.
And Nebraska has more and
bigger men than any Okla
homa team ever had.
