Red Fresh m By MARK GORDON Sports Editor After watching his var sity basketball squad breeze to an easy 98-67 victory Fri day night over the Nebras ka freshmen, Husker cage coach Joe Cipriano was more than pleased with the yearlings performance. "They are the best fresh man team we've played," he said. "They pressured us out . of our offense and made us go to a couple of other options." Although the frosh played the varsity on even terms until the score was tied at seven all, the varsity's ex perience and team work quickly took its toll on the youngsters. With sophomore Tom Scantlebury hitting 15 points and old reliable Stuart Lantz, a senior forward Frosh Open Season As . . . McCook Invades Coliseum By CHARLES DAVIES Assistant Sports Editor Glenn Potter's freshmen basketball team opens i t s season at 5:15 p.m., Mon day preceding the Varsity game against the McCook Junior College Indians at the Coliseum. After a 98-67 loss to Ne braska's Varsity, an im provement from last year's 96-48 defeat, Potter said he was pleased with his team although they were not in excellent physical con dition for the opening game. "The defense was good until we got tired," he said. Potter was pleased with the freshmen rebounding, led by 67" center L e r o y Chalk with 11 grabs, and said the team moved the ball well on fast breaks. MISTAKES "We made a lot of mis takes though," he said, "and our passing needs improve ment." Potter also said that cen ter Bernard Brown, the team's tallest player at 6' 10", and Cliff Moller, a 6'1" guard, did a good job. Brown had nine points and Moller was the team's lead ing scorer with 13 points. "We tired because we haven't spent a lot of time in practice using the full court," he explained. "Our workouts have been primar ily on half court patterns." McCOOK STRONG "Thanksgiving vacation also bothered us" Potter said. "Some of the boys were not around to prac tice." Potter said he scouted McCook in a recent junior college tournament at Nor folk which the Indians won. "Rebounding is their strong point," he said. "They have some adequate shoot ers too." Led by 6'6" Ron Acey the ILJI Ml INLAND STEEL COHPMY INDIANA KAUOH WORKS CAST CHICAJO, INDIANA Ho who displayed his last sea son's quickness, pushing in 18 points, Cipriano's team held a 43-26 halftlme mark and coasted to victory in the second 20 minute stan za. "They (the frosh) will be a fine team in a couple of months," Cipriano said. "They have good speed and quickness and they have some good rebounders." Although the frosh held a two inch average height advantage over the elders, the varsity grabbed 53 re bounds while Glenn Potter's crew snared 34. But the game's story can be summarized by one sta tistic the varsity shot a red hot 50 per cent (40 of 80) while the freshmen hit 27 of 81 for 33 per cent. "We'd like to keep that kind of shooting up," the Nebraska cage boss said, Today Indians will have an exper ience edge over the Husker freshmen. "They have three sophomores in the starting lineup," Potter said, "which means a year's experience on our kids." ZONE DEFENSE "McCook has also played more games than our kids," he said. The freshman coach said the Huskers have spent con siderable time practicing against a zone defense which the Indians employ against their opponents. "We have been working against their offensive pattern too," he added. "The outcome of the game will be a question of condi tioning," Potter said, "And I think our kids will come back." The tentative freshman lineup: Chalk at center; 6'8" Tim Allmond and 6'5" Tom Bryan at forwards; and 6'3" Richard Krone busch and Moller at guards. The freshmen play an in tersquad match at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday before the Nebras ka Varsity meets South Da kota at the Coliseum. Basketball Tickets Still Available Approximately 1,500 stu dent basketball tickets have been sold going into the fi nal week of sales, athletic ticket manager Jim Pitten ger reported over this week end. The tickets, costing $5.25 apiece, will be on sale this week at the Coliseum ticket office until Friday, he said. Plans for Progress t Varsity D en Cagers, "but it will be tough to do so with the teams we play," Cipriano praised veterans Lantz, who led all scorers with 25 points, Tom Baack, who found the scoring range in the second half and fin ished with 15 points, and Scantlebury, who made sev eral steals and quickly turned them into two-pointers en route to a 23 point evening. The varsity's defense pressured the inexperienced yearlings into committing 25 turnovers, while the var sity was giving the ball up 19 times. Cipriano said this year's Scarlet and Cream "have more depth and we're use ing more players than last year." Twelve Huskers saw ac tion Friday and all but one scored.
