Wrong Incentive
f ' Ever since the State High School Class A tourney
was moved to Omaha several years ago, I have been
strongly for the return of the festivities to the Capital
City;
I must admit that most of my reasons for the return
were terribly sentimental. Having come from Hastings
High School, I got rather used to the annual trip to Lin
coln, and the delirious fun of mixing with other yelling,
excited groups of prep fans wearing their school's colors
and spirit buttons and signs.
. ' Perhaps I should explain that the Hastings Tigers is
a group that seems to find its way to the state tourney
each year despite their season's won-loss record.
We made it all three years I was a Tiger fan, and
I'm sure Hastings holds the record for most appearances,
at least in the last 15 years.
T ' Well, this year they finally did move it back.
- But it wasn't for any good reason; in fact the move
has thrown something ot a pallor over what is normally
one of the gayest and most thrilling parts of the year
for Nebraska prepsters.
" Wallace responsible
The reason it was moved back here can be stated
Imply George C. Wallace.
-. After he held his American Party "convention" in
Omaha Monday night, all hell broke loose in a situation
which has been boiling for a long time and needed only
a match like Wallace to set it off.
After Wallace's "incident" with a group of young Oma
ha Negroes at his convention, things started happening in
the Negro-inhabited Near North Side, including the killing
'Of a young Negro.
There were several other incidents in the area the mor
Wng and day following, including young Negroes walk
ing out of their schools.
The capper came early Wednesday morning when a
arload of young Negroes was arrested by Omaha Po
lice carrying explosives, guns and rocks. Dwaine Dillard
.was one of those youths.
" v4 Special Case
Dwaine Dillard unfortunately cannot be arrested, tried
and forgotten like most of the rest. He has become a
rather famous young man among those following prep
basketball in the state. He led Central to the finals of
the Class A tourney last year, was named to the all
tourney and all-state teams and was even recognized nationally.

His team, at the time of his arrest, was rated number

ship starting today.
Pressure Decision
With that kind of pressure on the Omaha Civic Audi
torium, where it had all started Monday night, Omaha
Mayor A. V. Sorensen asked the Nebraska School Activi
ties Association to more Class A competition back to Lin
coln. Whether it is just for this year or not, or whether this
Jnove will keep anything from happening, is yet to be
seen, as this was a spur-of-the-moment decision made
under fire.
it is with a note of sadness I welcome the teams
back to Lincoln.
State Tourney
Schedule
;-"iiMiiiiiiir"'-tiWiii-
It'll be a little harder than usual for Husker fans
to get excited about tonight's game at Missouri,
the last of the season. After being in the running
all season, the Huskers have seen the NCAA
berth go to Kansas State and the NIT bid to
Kansas, both of whom they split with in
conference play.
Kansas City, Mo. The bid
by Iowa State's Don Smith to
become the Big Eight Con
ference's No. 2 scorer of all
time has grown long as the
big Cyclone senior goes into
his last game needing 46
points to top the 1,685 career
mark of Kansas State's Bob
Boozer in 1957-59.
Smith, who already is listed
as the second-best all-time re
bounder with his 1,010 three-
vear total, has scored 1,640
points in his three seasons at
Iowa State, giving him the
No. 3 spot on the career ros
ter, which is led by Clyde
Lovellette's 1,979 for Kansas,
1950-52.
By scoring 28 points in the
finale against Kansas, Smith
would put his season total at
the 600 mark for the second
year in a row he had 619
last year and put him on a
level with Wilt Chamberlain,
who is the only one so far in
conference annals to score 600
or more points twice during
his career. Smith's sopho
more total was 449.
Ending his march upward
on the Big Eight scoring table
is Oklahoma's Don Sidle, who,
with one game left, has a ca
reer total of 1,520 points,
fourth on the list. However, he
is too tar behind Smith to
move higher. Sidle 's career
rebounding total of 743 is 10th
best. It will take 20 against
Colorado to move him into
ninth.
"1,000 point club"
The Big Eight's other four
active members of the "1,000
Point Club," Nebraska's Tom
Baack and Stuart Lantz, and
Colorado's Pat Frink, could
all move higher in the stand
ings in their last game.
Baack, the all-time scoring
i e a a e r at Nebraska, now
shows a three-year total of
1,278, ninth on the list. Lantz,
second on the Husker career
list, is 12th in Conference his
tory with his 1,243. Only 11
points in his finale would
move him past Iowa State's
Gary Thompson and into 11th
Frink has now pushed his
career mark to 1,266 for the
10th best spot. He is No. 2 on
the all-time Colorado list. Rog
ers now has 1,108 and could
move as high as 17th place
with 21 points in his last
game. The Sidle-Rogers com
bination needs only 35 points
in their finale to become the
Big Eight's top one-two
punch.
CONFERENCE
GAMES ONLY
Second in rebounding
In rebounding, Smith ranks
second only to Kansas' Bill
Bridges, who finished with
1,081. These two are the only
two in Big Eight history to
gather in over 300 stray shots
for three years running
Smith's yearly totals read 326,
334 and 350 so far this year.
With his third-place finish in
scoring and runner-up spot in
rebounding, Smith win, now
ever, go down as the Big
Eight's most effective around
the basket. For their careers,
Lovellette was eighth and
Boozer seventh in rebounding
and Bridges was 30th in scor
ing.

Kansas City, Mo. With
defending champions return
ing in 10 events and all
primed with career bests dur
ing the year, the Big Eight
swimming record book stands
to be re-written from top to
bottom today, Friday and
Saturday at the Conference
championships, hosted by the
University of Kansas.
Split into three sessions,
time trials begin at 1:00 p.m.
both today and Friday and at
noon on Saturday. Finals will
be at 8:00 p.m. each night.
Five events are scheduled the
opening day and seven on
each of the last two days.
Iowa State, losers of only
six individual points from last
year's championship team, re
turns four of the individual
champions, with Bruce Lech
ler a double defender, hold
ing the Big Eight crowns in
the 200 freestyle and 100 but
terfly. He has the Conference
record in both events.
The Cyclones' J i m Cots
worth, a double winner two
years ago as a sophomore,
reigns in the 200 individual
medley, where he is the record-holder.
His times this sea
son are the best in the 200 in
dividual medley (2:04.3), 500
freestyle (4:58.0), and the 200
butterfly (2:00.1).
John Westensee won the 50
freestyle in record time for
Iowa State last year he
leads the event this year with
a :21.6 best and Dave Rath- i
ke was a winner and record I
setter in the 100 breaststroke.
He leads the league this year
in the 200 breaststroke with
his 2:19.2.
Chief challenge to the Cy
clones this year will come
again from Kansas. The Jay
hawks hive a pair of return'
ing champions, Jim Askins in
low-board diving and J i m
Kent in the 200 butterfly,
Kent, whose butterfly effort
last year was a league rec
ord, has become one of the
most versatile in the league,
showing a high Big Eight
ranking in the 1000 freestyle,
200 individual medley, and 200
butterfly.
The only other double cham
pion returning is Kansas
State's Dick Rivera, who took
both the 100 and 200 back
stroke titles last year, topping
the old record in the longer
go.
Missouri, making a bid to
move higher in the team
standings with a talented
group of sophomores headed
by Jerry Mossotti, a butterfly
specialist who holds the Big
Eight's dual-meet record in a
20-yard pool for the 200 fly.

second in the one-meter
event.
Also moving into strong
team contention is Oklahoma
State, paced by George Phil

ence in the 200 backstroke and
ranks high in the individual
medley. Oklahoma, perennial
powerhouse, is led this year
by freestyle ace Doug Heller
son, who holds the league's
best in the 200 free.
Colorado's chief point con
tender is sprinter Glenn
Krumm, while Nebraska will
be depending mainly upon a
pair of backstrokers, Walt
Bryezinski and J i m Staziow

FroshO.Iv.
in Big Eight
competition
The Big Eight conference
has decided to go with the
NCAA ruling allowing fresh
men to compete on a varsity
level in minor sports.
The NCAA, after several
years of toying with the idea,
approved the move by a slight
margin this winter and seve
ral major conferences, notab
ly the Big Ten, went ahead
with it In winter minor sports.
Southern Illinois' close vic
tory over the Nebraska swim
team this winter was made
possible by an SIU freshman
who scored enough points to
put the Salukis ahead, while
NU could not use frosh due
to no league ruling.
The rule allows frosh com
petition In every sport except
football and basketball.
It was speculated that the
league would not approve
frosh participation until next
year when another NCAA vote
will be taken to see if the
small margin would be upheld.
