Take a long look, Husker fans, you'll never
see this sight again. How do you replace the top
two scorers in NU history, Tom Baack (facing
camera) and Stu Lantz (22)? Nebraska coach Joe
Cipriano, here huddling with ids stars during a
By George Kaufman
Sports Editor
Try to imagine Robert Ken
nedy bald. Try to conceive
of America out of Vietnam
Think of Dickie Smothers
without Tommy, Abbott with
out Costello, Liz without Dick
Nebraska without Conserva
tism.
If you can imagine all of
these, then try to imagine the
Nebraska basketball team
without Stu Lantz and Tom
Baack.
It is an almost impossible
thing to think about, but Hus
ker coach Joe Cipriano and
the NU followers must now
face reality and start think
ing about next year.
"It'll be a different kind of
club," says Cipriano in one
of the understatements of the
year.
But, unlike many of the NU
fans, Cipnano does not ex
actly wince every time the
subject of next year comes
up. The Husker boss sees a
possibility of a better-balanced
team, not having to sacri
fice height for speed as he has
been forced to do in past sea
sons. "We'll have some added
height," says Cip, "but it
won't affect our running. In
fact, next year's team may
have more speed than this
year's."
The NU mentor foresees
more of a balance between
offense and defense on next
year's team, perhaps doing
away with the problems
which plagued the usually-po
tent Nebraska full-court press.
Cip's problems here were
graphically illustrated in the
final home game against Io
wa State, where the Husker
general used "platoon" bask
etball, continually putting his
'defensive players in to
throw the press on and his
"offensive" shooters in when
they were on the attack.
Returning "starters" as
much as anyone can be a
starter on one of Cip's teams
will include Geneva soph
Bob Gratopp, Oakland Calif.,
rookie Tom Scantlebury
both of whom received votes
in the balloting for Big Eight
Sophomore of the Year and
6-7 soph pivot Dale Von Seg
gern. Reserves who showed good
stuff include 6-5 Ken Cauble
of Midland, Tex., 6-0 Sam
Martin, from Pawnee City,
and 6-5 Bellevue product Lee
Torrens.
Scantlebury averaged 12.8
points per game, third to
Baack and Lantz. Gratopp
managed 10.5, and was a
surprising second to Lantz in
the rebound department with
154. Von Seggern showed en
couraging improvement un
der the boards as he played
a fairly steady post position
and averaged 4.4 a game.
I don't think anybody will
have a spot cinched on next
year's team," says Cipriano.
But the NU coach admitted
that if anyone did, it would
conference game, explains how at right.

have to be Gratopp.
Coming to the Nebraska
camp as a one-man team
from Geneva and a state
tournament star and record
holder, Bob worked himself
immediately into the fast
paced team play Cipriano
professes. During this last
season's campaign he couldn't
help but make Husker follow
ers thing of Baack's sopho
more year, with his clutch
outside and corner shooting
and his overall steady play
and poise.
Bob's rebounding efforts,
however, surpassed every
one's expectations, as the
64 rookie learned quickly
what happens beneath the
boards in Big Eight play.
"Sam Martin will be able
to help us a lot next year,"
muses Cipriano, "and Von
Seggern picked up a lot of
experience as he had to come
in cold and take over in the
middle."
Martin proved his scholar
ship was not in danger when
he played a big part in mak
ing Cip's "musical chairs"
game against Iowa State here
almost pay off. Not having
played a whole lot during the
year, he came off the bench
to impress everyone with 14
points ana good overall play.
Since Cip usually has good
outside shooting and that
went double this year the
post is not as important in
the Husker attack as in most
other teams. So Von Seggern
got a season in which to learn
the play in the conference
without having the pressure
on him to score. Mostly used
as a director of the offense,
the Orchard product looked
better in every game and
would up in the top five at the
end of the season, with such
steady reserves as Ron Sim
mons and Jim Damm push
ing for playing time ail year.
"A big factor in how well
we'll do next year," warns
the NU skipper, "will be how
"Mrs. Wiggs of lhe"
Cabbage Patch"
much these kids want to work
this summer. Because next
year we're going to have to
be more aggressive on re
bounding, the press and de
fense." Cip points out that there
will be no organized team
workouts this summer as
there was last summer when
the Huskers took a trip down
Mexico way in order to tune
up for the season.
What can the Big Eight
race do for an encore after
the wild barroom brawl of
1968?
"Next year may be just as
crazy as this year's," Cipri
ano says with something of
a wince. "Oklahoma State
will probably come furthest
up the ladder, Colorado should
do much better. Of course, the
Kansas teams are always
there when you turn around."
And Nebraska?
"We , can be contenders if
we can shoot well enough.
The rest of the game we can
work on, but it's going to be
hard to replace Lantz anil
Baack." .
, If you don't believe that
statement, just glance at the
final Nebraska statistics be
(ow. Then put yourself in
Cip's place and try to smile.
