The day is sunny. The trees are preen. The tempera
ture is right It's Football Weather, USA!
And so the dorms, fraternities, and a few sororities
(-rho shall remain nameless ) pour out into the streets to
play intramural football. Imagine now, if you can, a tele
vised sandlot football game (not played on University
fields of course, since there are none I. Think . , . think

Anouncer: Welcome to the "Sandlot Game of the
Week" brought to you by "Band-Aid" for cuts, bruises,
and those painful teeth marks left in your neck by the
Bursar after tuition time. What do vou think of this beauti
ful day, Joe?"
Joe: It's a beautiful day. Bill.
Bill: Yes, you are right, Joe, it's a beautiful day for
intramural football here at the beautiful Children's Zoo.
Now let's switch you to Intramural Field number two at
2000 West 0 St. and Harry Jansen. Come in, Harry.
Harry: Hello, Bill. Here we are on West O Street,
location of Intramural Field Number two. Just a few min
utes ago we had four accidents: two independents were
run down by a Mack Truck, while two passengers in a
Volkswagon were injured when their small car was smashed
by a Phi Delta Tbeta power play.
The team suffered one skinned knee and two black
eyes, while the VW was flattened beyond recognition. The
final injury was a stubbed toe, suffered by the coach of
the 'Pi Phi Power Plants" well known for their aggresive
power plays.
Now we switch you to The University of Nebraska
AtMetic Department and F. J. Parks. Come in, F, J.!
F, J.: We're here to interview NTTs intramural di
rector, Joe Meyer, Hi, Joe.
Joe: Hi there, TV fans. Hello there to you too. F. J.

Joe: For fan, what?
Joe: Football? Oh. I follow the Dodgers.
F, X: Football! What do yon think of football?
Joe: (stroking his chin for effect . It's a fine game
F. J. I think that Cipriano is doing a real fine job with
those boys.
F. J.: Well, on to the next question
Joe: Hi. mommy!
F. J.: Tm sorry Joe, you cant do that on television.
Now what do you think of the new intramural fields on
West ""O" Street and at the CMdrens' Zoo?
Joe: Although the locations are inconvenient, think of
the beauty of those new parking lots! Imagine how ugly the
mall was, all that crab grass and that type of thing.
F. J.: Well, Joe, do you have any future plans deal
ing with sports?
Joe: Yes F. J in keeping with our program of beauti
fication, we are planning to tear down "'whats-itsname"
stadium and build a replica of the Geography Building.
F. J.: Thank you, Joe,

Will the University var
sity rifle team become a
letter sport ?
Manfred Wunderlich, ri
fle club president and team
captain, is '"hoping that tee
University makes the team
a letter-sport.
"We need University
funds for traveling,'" he
said, "'because a sport must
be a member of the X Club
to obtain full financial back
ing from the University.""
"AH of the Big Eight
schools participate in the
rifling program so why not
make it a member of the
N Club?" he questioned.
He also added that 90 per
cent of the nation's schools
have a rifle program.
Fr.om 1939 until 1944,
tinder the guidance of Col
onel L. M. KBiff) JoneE,
shooting became a varsity
sport.
In 1944, due to World War
H gas rationing, the team
was unable to compete iout
side Nebraska and, .conse
quently, lost its -eligibility
requirement for the N
Club.
The rifle team, though not
a member of the "N" club,
does conduct its -own
awards program. Freshmen
who maintain a 'high aver
age 2nd participate in
several Bhoulder-to-shoul-der
matches are awarded a
medal at the season's end.
Sophomores are awarded
a sweater, juniors a letter
jacket and seniors a plaque.

Jet Set Basketball Team
Cagers Play In Mexico
Bv Mark Gordon
Sports Editor
One way to beat the
summer heat is to go swim
ming in a lagoon 30 miles
outside TurUa Gutierrez,
Mexico.
That's what Husker head
basketball coach Joe Cipri
ano and his Nebraska team
discovered while traveling
on a month4ong basketball
tour of Mexico this July.
"It was a tremendous
experience not only from
the standpoint of basket
ball, but it gave them a
chance to see how other
people live and that's an
education in itself," the
Husker cage boss s- of
the 7,500 mile excursion.
GAIN EXPERIENCE
Cipriano said the trip.
presumably the first inter
national tour a Nebraska
basketball team bas made,
had three purposes.
""It gave us a chance
to give some of our younger
players opportunity to gain
experience,'" Cipriano said,
"'and it gave us a chance to
(travel and do some recruit
ing."" The team, consisting .of
nine sophomores, two jun
iors and two seniors started
slowly by dropping their
first four games, but re
bounded in winning in the
final nine contests.
The tour began July 8
w hen the team flew to Mex
ico Oty and met the Mex
ican National Team in a
three-game series that the
Southerners swept.

The 1 w m squads then
swung south almost 700
miles to Tuxtla Gutierrez to
lace each other in a two

final game.
Cipriano praised the Mex
ican team by saying "they
could play in the' Big Eight
and finish in the top divi
sion." "
Before meeting Ne
braska, the Mexicans had
finished fifth in the World's
jn Uruguay just a montb
before, and they eventually
finished second in the Pan
American games basketball
tournament in Winnipeg,
Canada.
.MISSED HAMBIT5GERS
Nebraska then returned
to Mexico City and swept
five matches with various
college and independent
Mexico City quintets before
moving on to Guadala
jara where they won two
games.
Nebraska won their fi 1
game from a college team
in Chilpancingo, . town
near Acapulco.
""We feel we iniproveu
along the way," Cipriano
said, ""and roost of the
teams we played had
quickness, good ball hand
lers and good shooters.'"
"'We had a lot .of interest
ing experiences, but I think
the players missed the
hamburgers and milk
shakes," be joked.
The 1966 Big Eight Coach
of the Year said the team
was pleased with the food
except when they had eggs
and soft drinks in ome dis
tant towns.
"'We were well received
and taken care of on the
trip,"" he added.

SIGHTSEEING TOO
The team didnt spend
the entire period playing
basketball not with all the
sights Jo see in Mexico.
In Mexico City, they at
tended the Jaiolai games,
the bullfights, and toured
the University of Mexico
which has an enrollment of
S5.000 students.
Eve seen bullfights be

boll a fighting chance."
Cipriano added, ""and
there's no question that the
campus is beautiful."
The team also attended
an a th 1 e t i c club and
shopped in a wholesale
market in a residential sec
toon where the team pur
chased gifts and souvenirs.
"The NCAA has recently
put in a rule that you can't
take the kind of trip that
we did more than once in
four years," Cipriano said.

Gregory To Oppose
Former Teammate
Two long-time acquaint
ances will be renewed when
Minnesota's Gophers invade
Memorial Stadium Satur
day to meet Nebraska's
Cornhuskers,
Ben Gregory, Nebraska's
hard-driving halfback and
Ray Stephens, Minnesota's
junior quarterback, both
hail from Uniontown, Pa.,
where they played high
school football under coach
Leon Kaltenbach.
Gregory has not only fol
lowed Ray's career since
high school, but he has also
kept a close watch on San
dy Stephens, Ray's broth
er, who quarterbacked the
Gophers into the Big Ten's
winner circle in 1960 and
a subsequent Rose Bowl
appearance.
STILL CORRESPOND "
'"I have followed him all
the way since high school,"
Gregory said of Sandy,
Minnesota's 1961 All-Ameri-can
quarterback." and I
slill read about him all the
time."
Gregory attended the
same grade and high school
with Ray. but was gradu
ated one year ahead of the
Minnesota quarterback.
Although the two former
Uniontown prep stars who
participated in basketball
as well as football are al
most 500 miles apart, they
still correspond.

him last spring," Nebras

'"I always like to play

He said that Nebraska
used the first of two weeks
of practice sessions pre

"1 think we slightly im

said in explaining that the
Huskers aren't planning to
experiment with anything
different against the Goph

won their opening game
