For the brave few Husker fans venturing southward, it was Rah and then a quick Bah, as Allen Fieldhouse again threw its hex on Nebraska's cage team in the opening minutes of the game, and never let up as the Huskers were pushed out of the Big Eight lead, by the hated Jayhawks. aiiDiiiiiiiiiiiiaiiiiiiiiiiiiaiiiiiiiiiiiiaiiiiiiiiiiiiaiiiiiiiiiiiiaiiiiiiiiMiiDiiiiiiiiiiiic i 1 Relieve by Tom Henderson Was it worth it? Finishing up on the Grenoble Winter Olympics while wondering if the readmittance of South Africa to the Summer Games in Mexico City was worth the head- aches it has caused the International Olympic Committee. The Alpine ski team took its share of falls, but for Billy Kidd of Stowe, Vt., who twisted his ankle early in a training run at nearby Chamrousse, it may have been an omen. Billy recovered quickly enough, but his father went one step further. Peter Kidd, in Grenoble to see his son race, slipped on a wet street and broke his ankle, thereby missing the men's downhill in which Billy finished 18th. A'o 6acfc seat driving Visitors to the Winter Olympics were informed early that they were to stick to skating, skiing, hockey, bob sledding and toboganning and refrain from back seat driving. The French pasted notices inside the vehicles used to transport athletes, officials and newsmen from place to place requesting that passengers "do not comment to the driver on his driving." Wife sends ivrestler to the chair such signs as factory , Detroit may do well to install equipment on all American cars. Elevators a problem Although complaints against the food and beds pro vided for Olympic contestants were few, another problem arose at the Winter Olympics village. Traffic Jams on the elevators caused sportsmen to be , late for training and meals. Each of the 12-story apartment buildings in the vil lage had only two automatic elevators which started skip ping floors as soon as they got loaded. The problem prompted the British team to post an appeal in its elevators reading, "Look here, boys this is serious. Everybody wants to be on time. Please avoid waiting by not occupying the lift unnecessarily." Unofficial medals The Olympic bunny hostess team may have been the nearest runnerup to Jean-Claude Killy's three gold medals in the Games. The bunnies were awarded two gold medals and one ; bronze by The Associated Press which awarded the un official medals in a followup story of the Olympics. The hostesses were given a gold medal for best form of the Games over runnerup Olga Pall of the Austrian al pine team (silver) and the Stad de Glace ice stadium (bronze). The bunnies also received a gold for the Most Exciting Performance and finished third behind Killy and Gen. Charles De Gaulle as the Most Popular. Manhattan The rising cost of a haircut does not phase Marvin Landes in the least. He nasn t been con cerned about the cost of visit ing a barber since last Au gust when he married one Her name is Debbie. She cuts hair at a local shop in Aggieville, close to the Kan sas State campus and may be the first female barber in the history of Manhattan 'She loves it," says Marvin, i wrestler on the K-State team. Cutting hair is old hat to Debbie, considering her moth er and aunt own a two-chair shop in Wellington, where Debbie and Marvin became acquainted in high school. The aunt plans to retire one of these days, leaving Debbie her chair. Having a barber for a wife was not Marvin's big wish in life. "When we used to date." he explains, "I'd tell her I didn't want to go with a bar ber. I even talked her into going to college. She tried it, dropped out and went to bar ber's school, instead. She had her heart set on it. So I gave in."

Over 52 acres of hard surface parking will provide fans a short walk to their stadium seat. This will allow parking for 8,500 vehicles, compared with only 900 existing parking spaces at the old stadium. "This to me is the best fea ture of our new plant," says Lee, "plus the fact the stadi um will be easily accessible from all four directions on new and existing two and four lane highways. We should have the minimum of traffic problems," Lee added. by Gene Walters Sports Writer Steve May, a valuable mem ber of Nebraska's gymnastics squad, has been plagued with injuries while at NU. The past month Steve has been working hard to recov er from an elbow injury that sidelined him for half the sea son. There seems to be a corre lation with the return of May and the Husker's progressive ly higher scores in the last three meets. The third of this month saw the perennially powerful Iowa State beat Nebraska with May finding that he "wasn't in shape yet."

If you think it s tough getting to be a 16 foot pole vaulter, try getting back up there after a serious crackup. That was the problem con fronting Colorado senior Chuck Rogers following a se rious lower back injury m a spectacular crash at Nebras ka last winter as his pole failed to snap him properly and he landed squarely on the takeoff box. The muscular senior from Denver finally re-reached 16 feet in his final try of 'the 1967 outdoor campaign, at ihe NCAA meet in Provo. And even though it left him well down the list at seventh place he'd won the national title with the same height as a sophomore it marked a huge psychological advance for him. Now he has his sights set on the next plateau lb-band his basic problem here is physical rather than mental. It involves his release from his pole at the top of his vault. Loses momentum Rogers has good speed. He's built up his upper body strength considerably through a weight program last summer. As a result he gets enough height to clear 16-6 and higher. His troubles come from a poorly-executed handstana-type llyaway over the crossbar. Instead of main taining his momentum over the bar, he tends to sag and hit the bar coming down. Unfortunately, Rogers has a pair of weak knees which prevents him from working out between meets. As a re sult, he can't iron , out his problems under the expert direction of his two qoaches, Frank Potts and Don Meyers, both former NCAA vault champs. The bad knees are chronic and stem from further back than Chuck can remember. He hasn't vaulted in practice for nearly two months, limit ing his actual vaults to com petition. After 10-12 vaults, both knees weaken and swell. Hit career height Despite the bad hinges, Rogers ranks as one of the nation's finest collegians. He's already hit a career indoor high of 164V4 and has reach ed 16 in three of his four competitions this winter. Mey er is among his most enthu siastic supporters. "Chuck has tremendous po tential and he's going to be a 17-footer, maybe before the end of the indoor season," says Meyers, now CU's as sistant and due to succeed Potts when the veteran re tires in June. "Once he gets his flyaway down a little bet ter, he'll do it. He barely missed at 16-6 the other night against Nebraska and had probably his worst form of the season on that parties lar try so" he has the height It's just a matter of arching his body over the bar with enough impetus to clear it on the way down." Rogers is optimistic about his chances to reach the ma gic 17-foot mark, too. Almost even In the first Super Bowl, Green Bay's Bart Starr made 16 of 23 pass attempts for 250 yards. Len Dawson of the Kansas City Chiefs completed 16 of 27 for 211 yards. If I: Husker Happenings rack iowa. gut, CoUaeam, FrMar Wnrtliaf-at Stat College at Iowa.

"Because of my wrist, I might not work all-around in the Big Eight meet." Steve commented. "It depends on whether I get back in shape for the compulsories." Higher scoring As the season progresses, the Husker gymnasts are scoring higher with every meet. Coach Geier pointed out the balance of his team as thj key to improvement. Com menting on the Kansac Statu win he said, "If any one i would have performed r Kw than 100 per cent the meet could have gone the other way."
