NU Record
Stands 2-1
After Pacific
Tom Baack, 6-5 Nebraska
forward, matched his sea
son scoring average of 26
points against the Univer
sity of the Pacific Saturday
night to lead the Husker
cagers to a 90-78 victory
over the visiting Tigers, last
year's West Coast Athletic
champions. The game was
played before 7,460 fans in
the Nebraska Coliseum.
Saturday's win pushes Ne
braska's record this year to
2-1 while it was the first loss
for Pacific which now posts
a 3-1 season mark.
Nebraska jumped to an
early 2-0 lead but was down
to the Tigers until a lay-in
by Baack with 13:22 re
maining in the first halt
gave Coach Joe Cipriano's
squad a lead which they
never relinquished.
The Huskers, employing
a full court press, scored
four straight baskets in one
spree late in the first half
and held Pacific to a single
free throw. Nebraska took
a 40-23 lead with 4:01 re
maining and a 44-29 edge
at halftime.
After Nebraska surged
ahead using the press, the
game was on fairly even
terms during the last half.
Top scorer for the Tigers
was forward Bob Krulish
with 24 points. Keith Swag
erty, the top point-getter for
Pacific coming into the
game and WAC's most val
uable player last season,
netted 17. Husker center
Willie Campbell had the job
of guarding Swagerty and
netted four points before
fouling out with 17:41 left
in the game.

Sophomore Grappler
Captures Lone
By Ed Icenogle
Sports Assistant
Gene Libal, sophomore
Husker wrestler, contends
that the competition in last
weekend's Great Plains
Wrestling Tournament is
about as tough as it comes.
On the other hand, his
competition will say the
same thing about Gene.
Libal won five matches
Friday and Saturday, com
piled the fewest number of
"black marks" in the 191
pound weight class and car
ried off Nebraska's only
first place trophy at the
meet.
Libal had not expected
the championship, but his
coach, Orval Borgialli, was
not too surprised with the
showing of the former Lex
ington prep standout.
"It's not really a big sur
prise," Borgialli said. "I
suppose the surprise is that
he's just a sophomore.
"Gene's got two things go
ing for him: he's got fine
balance for a big wrestler
and he's exceptionally
strong," he said.
"I wrestled in the Great
Plains last year as a fresh
man and got beat out," Li
bal recalled.
What's the difference be
tween this year and last?
"I did gain a lot of ex
perience," Gene said, "es
pecially before the Nation
als last spring." He cred-

In addition to wrestling
in the National AAU Meet,
Libal also entered the
Rocky Mountain AAU Meet
last year, gaining one win,
one draw, one loss and
more experience. Borgialli
pointed out that these AAU
matches (11 in all) gave
Libal more training than
any other Cornhusker soph
omore. J.'He's the kind of kid you
really enjoy working with,"
Borgialli said. But there

Libal took the champion

Pueblo, Colo., in a 2-0 de
cision in the round robin
eliminations.
The three contenders in
each wieght division with
fewest black marks were
in the eliminations to set

Black marks were assessed
in the earlier matches. Win
ning a decision drew one
black mark, a drawing was

three, and losing in a fall
netted four black marks.
Six black marks eliminated
a wrestler.
