Lantz Tops Basketball Statistics
Stuart Lantz, the 6-3
jumping-jack junior from
Uniontown, Pa., leads the
Husker netters in every
major statistical depart
ment through the team's
first fifteen games.
Lantz has compiled a 19
point average for the year
on a 52 per cent field goal
average and an 83 per cent
average from the foul
stripe. Lantz's field g o al
total of 116 is one ahead of
Tom Baack, junior play
maker from Fort Wayne,
Indiana who carries an
18.5 average.
Lantz' conference creden
tials are even more im
pressive. He has amassed
a 21-point average, hitting
50 percent from the field
and 80 per cent from the
charity line. Baack's 19-
point conference average is
close behind. Baack has a
49 per cent field percent
age and has cashed in on
91 per cent of his foul
shots in Big Eight play.
Nate Branch's comeback
from an early season stint
on the bench has boosted
his overall average to 14.4
points. Stellar performanc
es against Oklahoma and
Missouri have upped his
rebound totals to 37 in the
Big Eight and 106 overall.
Lantz leads in both depart
ments with 39 and 113, re
spectively. Willie Campbell, also
showing improved play re
cently, is the fourth Hus
ker in double figures with
and 11.6 overall. Jim Damm
and Ron Simmons have
shared the fifth Husker
starting position. They have
overall averages of 5.9 and
4.5 points, respectively.
This balanced team scor
ing has given the Huskers,
an overall 83.2 points per
game average. Opponents,
however, have broken Ne
braska's defense at a 79.2-per-game
clip.
Some of the Husker bests
this year include 44 field
goals against Missouri, a
Nebraska record, 100 points
against Washington State,
54 rebounds against Okla
noma and 30 of 35 f r e e
throws, against Washington
State.
The individual highlights
include 28 points by Lantz
in the Big Eight tourney
against Kansas State. He
also hit 12 of 12 free throws
against Washington State.

GETTING THE JUMP

Gals' Athletic Facility
To Aii
Not only the University of
Nebraska's women's athle
tic program will get a boost
in the arm from the new
women's physical education
building now under con
struction. Joel Meier, superintend
ent of men's intramurals,
predicts that the new build
ing will increase the capac
ity of the facilities for
men's athletics.
Specifically, the male
intramural program will
have greater use of the Col
iseum swimming pool when
the girls move to their own
pool.
Also, the East Campus
gym will eliminate the two
nights per week set aside
for the women.
Meier expects the addi
tion of the East Campus
facility plus the use of the
University High gym, when
the prep school closes after
Men s
this year, to accomodate
more basketball teams.
Meier also noted specula
tion concerning further ex
pansion of NAU athletic fa
cilities. The speculation included
an estimated $80,000 propos
al to convert an area on
the East Campus into foot
ball and Softball, fields.
Other possibilities men
tioned were the construc
tion of tennis courts behind
Bancroft Hall and possible
temporary use of land be
hind Abel Hall near Vine
Street for football.
Meier said that flag foot
ball may suffer next season
as a result of increasing in
terest and enrollment and
lack of playing fields.
"We may have to elimi
nate flag football and play
basketball," said Meier, "or
eliminate the B football
teams."

On current plans, a double-elimination
basketball
tournament gets underway
Thursday following the
conclusion of the indoor
intramural track finals.
The tourney, which is
scheduled to run through
March 9, will include the
top four teams of each
league.
A total of 144 teams par
ticipated in the leagues, a
jump up from last year's
127.
"The program's getting
bigger and going up every
year by ten to 15 teams,"
said Meier. Next year he
expects the increase to be
from 20 to 30 teams.
Outdoor track is the most
likely to be a victim of in
adequate facilities. The in
tramural director said the
conditions of the track due
to construction work will
probably prohibit its use in
the spring.
Handball finals will be
this weekend and the pad
dkball tourney will start
Monday and run into
March.
Intramural swimming,
wrestling and archery will
be offered during March,
according to Meier.
He also listed as spring
sports volleyball (after bas
ketball), Softball, spring
golf, water basketball,
weight lifting, tennis dou
bles, bandminton, deck ten
nis and horseshoes.
Riding a four-game win
ning streak, Kansas State
returns to Ahearn Field
house on Saturday, where
the Wildcats and Nebraska
Cornhuskers will play for
the Big Eight basketball
leadership. Tip off is set for
7:30 p.m.
Both K-State and Nebras
ka sport 4-1 conference rec
ords, with Kansas and Col
orado deadlocked at 3-1.
The Jayhawks will be at
Iowa State on Saturday
night, while the Buffs meet
Oklahoma at Norman,
Okla., on Saturday TV.
After an opening loss to
Colorado, K-State has
bounced back to defeat Mis
souri, Iowa State, O k 1 a
homa State and Oklahoma.
The Wildcats' victories over
the Oklahoma schools have
bene decisive, 75-50 over
the Cowboys and 102-82 over
the Sooners.
Both the Wildcats and
Huskers expect a different
type of game from the Big
Eight pre-season tourney
clash which saw K-S tale
run up a relatively easy
98-81 victory.
Nebraska, the pre-season
pick to win the Big Eight
cage title, has with speed
and quickness, followed
closely by Experience. The
Huskers have four of t h e
top five scorers back from
last season, in addition to
the top four rebounders.
Heading the list of Ne

Nebraska Freshmen
To Take On Wildcats
The Nebraska freshman
basketball team takes on the
aKnsas State Wildcats to try
to make its Big Eight mark
2-0.
The meeting will be Satur
day at Manhattan.
The K-State yearlings
hope to snap a two-game
losing streak, after opening
the campaign with two con
secutive victories. The
Wildcats knocked off Dodge
City and Fort Scott junior
colleges, before losing twice
to the Kansas rookies. Last
time out, the KU freshmen
claimed a double overtime,
86-84, triumph.
Coach Bill Guthridge ex
pressed satisfaction in t h e
development of Dennis
Weinhold, a 6-8 fror.t'iner
who prepped at McCook,
Neb. Weinhold came off the
bench to man the pivot spot
earlier this season when 7
footer Ray Lavender suf
fered a fatigue fracture and
has paced Wildcat rebound
ers and is second in scoring
with a 15.3 mark.

JULIANBREAM
LUItMUbIC
FROM THE ROYAL
COURTS OF EUROPE
LIFE Magazine has described Julian Bream as "the
successor to the great Andres Segovia himself."
Nowhere is his brilliance more clearly displayed than In
this performance on the lute of these 16th-century
airs and dances by eleven composers. Such music as
Rowland's Queen Elizabeth's Galliard and Besard's
AjrdeCour achieves its authentic flavor In Bream's
hands. Here, in fact, in Bream's latest album, is a royal
feast for modern ears for every music lover!
