While looking around for bargains, less than 10 per cent of University students have purchased what we con sider the best buy offered on this campus all year. For $5.25, students can purchase basketball season tickets which are also honored at all spring sports. This lowers the cost of an event to less than 40 cents. TICKET SALES LAG Even with that attractive offer, athletic ticket manager Jim Pittenger reported that ticket sales are behind last season's 3,000 final figure. With Friday's Freshman-Varsity tilt set for 7:30 p.m., only 809 student season tickets had been sold as of Thurs day afternoon. We hardly feel 40 cents per game Is too costly when memorial Stadium was packed each Saturday (or Thurs day) with students who spent $2 per ticket. ATTRACTIVE SCHEDULE The Coliseum basketball schedule is attractive with 11 home dates including all Big Eight teams and four non conference matches. Coach Joe Cipriano's fast breaking offense and pres sure defense promises to provide enough excitement so fans won't be clarmoring at the box office for their money back. We aren't necessarilly predicting Nebraska will unseat Kansas as league champions, but we assure fans their 40 cents couldn't be spent for a better event. UNUSUAL SWITCH? The Coliseum ticket office will continue selling student tickets until the end of next week and we hope all student ducats will fall into student hands. Although Nebraska's standout middle guard Wayne Meylan has been anmed to two All-American teams, he was overlooked by United Press International which placed him on the second All-American team behind Oklahoma's Granville Liggins. UPI picked Meylan as Big Eight player of the year in 1966 and we feel he played even better this year. So why did the UPI selectors bypass number 66 of Nebraska? SEVEN HUSKERS Seven Huskers have been chosen as members of the first and second UPI Big Eight suuad. Meylan and end Dennis Richnasfky were selected as first stringers, while tackle Bob Taucher, fullback Dick Davis, defensive tackle Jim McCord, linebacker Barry Al varez and safetyman Marv Mueller were picked as second stringers. Although Kansas State won its first football game and lost the next nine, Wildcat fans certainly can't say it was the fault of All Big Eight linebacker Danny Lankas. Lankas who made 73 unassisted stops and an unbe lievable 105 assisted tackles has been selected to play in the upcoming Senior Bowl and Blue-Grey post-season games. TITANS BUSY The California State Titans, who open Nebraska's regular season Monday night at the Coliseum meet Michi gan State Friday and Kansas State Saturday at Manhattan which may tire them considerably before invading Lincoln. Going into Saturday's final Big Eight match between Oklahoma and Oklahoma State, the Nebraska defensive crew leads conference foes in rushing, passing and total de fense. The Huskers with a total defense mark of 157.6 yards also lead all other major college teams going into college football's final big weekend. OKLAHOMA UNDEFEATED? If the Cowboys can hold Oklahoma's Sophomore of the Year Steve Owens to less than 45 yards rushing, Nebras ka's Dick Davis would become the first Nebraskan to win the rushing title since Bobby Reynolds turned the trick in 1950. Our last regular season football prediction Oklahoma should close out its first undefeated Big Eight season since 1962 by downing the arch-rivals Oklahoma State Cowboys at Norman. While past season records have been meaningless over the years, Oklahoma's Big Eight champs will get revenge for the past two years by solidly downing an outmanned Cowboy crew Saturday. Big Eight Cagers To Begin Season ' Yearling's Height To Test Varsity Experience All Big Eight basketball teams except Nebraska open regular season play this weekend with four games scheduled on both Friday and Saturday. Oklahoma State coach Hank Iba, the dean of con ference tutors, begins his 34th season at the Cowboy held Friday when his Still water men entertain Sam ford of Alabama Friday. Extramural Volleyball To Begin Extramural volley ball practice for University women will begin at 4:30 p.m. in the University High School gym for matches with other Nebraska col leges. For further information call Barb Adams at 432-6095. Colorado, which tied Ne braska for second place in the league last season, meets Texas Tech at Boul der Friday and then trav els to face the Air F o r c e Academy Saturday. The South Dakota Coy otes, who face Nebraska at the Coliseum Tuesday, open Iowa State's season Friday at Ames. The Oklahoma Sooners, under new coach John MacLeod, open at Norman Friday against Centenary, while the Big Eight's de fending champion Kansas Jayhawks, who are heavy favorites to repeat again this year, open at Lawrence against Utah State. The Missouri Tigers with new coach Norm Stewart, meet the Arkansas Razor backs at Fayetteville, Ark. Saturday. The California State Ti tans, who open Nebraska's regular season Monday night at the Coliseum, meet Tex Winter's Kansas State Wildcats at Manhattan Saturday. By MARK GORDON It will be the freshman's height advantage against the varsity's experience in the annual freshman-varsity basketball game that opens Nebraska's cage season at 7:30 p.m. Friday , in the Coliseum. The frosh, with three starters over G'4", will hold a two inch average height advantage over coach Joe Cipriano's varsity crew. Frosh forwards Tim All mond, the tallest probable starter at 6'8" and Tom Bryan at 6'5", both averaged more than 22 points in high school ball. SPEED AND HEIGHT With 67" center Leroy Chalk, speedster guard Cliff Moller and 6'3" guard Rich ard Kronebusch the year lings can rely on both speed and height. "Chalk is one of the finest rebounders we have had in the freshman program at the University," said freshman coach Glenn Pot ter, "and Cliff Moller is an excellent ball handler." "The game will be good experience for our team," Potter added," but you must remember there are few freshman teams that can lick their varsity es pecially at this state of the game." NEW FACES Cipriano, whose second place Big Eight squad squashed last year's fresh man 94-46, has named a probable starting lineup averaging 6'3". Last year's two leading scorers, senior forwards Tom B a a c k and Stuart Lantz, are both expected to battle the freshman Friday night. Cipriano said sophomore Bob Gratopp would probab ly start at center and last year's leading freshman scorer with a 28 point game average, Tom Scantlebury would start at guard. 'COME ALONG WELL Assistant coach Bill Har rcll, who is beginning his first season at Nebraska, said the other guard posi tion would be filled by either senior Fred Hare, ho NU Grapplers Practice 'Freestyle' Techniques University wrest ling coach Orval Borgialli reports that his Husker grapplers are now working on freestyle wrestling in preparation for opening competition in the Great Plains Tournament, Dec. 8 and 9, in Lincoln. "Freestyle wrestling is different from the collegiate style," Borgialli said. "Freestyle is used in th Olympics and since the Olympics are right around the corner, they are using it." "You can lock your hands in freestyle wrestling and the point system is differ ent," he explained. Borgialli said the Great Plains Tournament is an AAU sponsored open meet, which will include fresh men. Senior Jerry Langdon, 130-pounds, placed third in the meet last year. He also said that two new heavyweights, footballers Ken Krusserow and Tom Linstroth, have been added to the squad. Nebraska's Great Plains Tournament lineup is: 115- Tun' Swim Planned For Girls Team Entries Due Dec. 5 All intermediate girl swim mers are invited to attend a Women's Athletic Associa tion fun swim meet with re lay events in the Coliseum pool at 8 p.m. Dec. 7. Team entries must be re turned to Jan Donnan at the Kappa Kappa Gamma house by Dec. 5 indicating the four girls participating in each event.

'MUCH BETTER' Cipriano said this year's freshman crew is "m u c h better than average with good size." Cipriano's fifth Nebraska team will be characterized by the fast-breaking offense and pressure defense that his past four clubs have shown, but a half-court de fense will also be tried this season.
