evelopment of prep swimmers hindered by lack of f acilitie

Editor's note This is the first
in a three-part series on minor sports
in Nebraska high schools and their
affect on NU's success.
by Mark Gordon
Sports Editor
When NU swimming coach John
Reta looks for prospects In Nebraska
high schools, he can only investigate
15 schools. Therein lies the biggest
weakness with Nebraska high school
swimming.
Although 25 schools were
represented at last year's si ate swim
meet, only 15 schools have swimming
pools. This Reta claims, is the most
acute problem in producing top-notch
competitors. He added that in swimming-minded
states such as Michigan,
Illinois or California, almost all
schools have pools.
"1 try to get the best boys I can
from wherever they are," he said,
"But it's hard to get good swimmers
from Nebraska since we don't have
a big population."
RETA SAID NU down through the
years has lost outstanding prospects
because of the outmoded, ancient
Coliseum swimming pool. He added
that other Big Eight schools with bet
ter facilities such as Kansas and
Missouri can attract the potential
championship swimmers.
Besides poor facilities across the
state and on campus, Reta said a
lack of professional attitude by h 1 g h
school coaches hinders the develop
ment of prep swimmers. He claimed
that many schools hire football
coaches to teach swimming simply
because no one else is available.
"Swimming isn't a seasonal sport.
Swimmers must swim all the year
around," he said. "We need more
summer programs to develop a pro
gram comparable to other states."
THE FORMER COACH who guided
Lincoln Southeast to eight straight
state swimming titles said there was
a marked difference in NU's swimm
ing attitude the past two years. Reta
added that it takes time to develop
a tradition.
"We had a tradition at Southeast
that was b u i 1 1 up over the years,"
he said. "At NU we are beginning
to build a tradition and with tradition
better results can be achieved."
He added that NU has serious com
petition from schools with better
facilities and stronger swimming
traditions such as Stanford, Indiana
or Iowa State.
"YOU CAN GET the kids, but you
need a program for them," he ex
plained. "Within the Big Eight we
are going to suffer if we have to
compete with other schools with so
much better facilities in the next few
years."
Veteran Lincoln Northeast swim
coach Ken Wall also credited NU's
ancient pool for causing promising
Nebraska prepsters to leave the state.
"Kansas State dropped swimming
this year because of inadequate
facilities," he said. "I hope NU
doesn't have to eliminate the sport
because of an outmoded pool."
NEBRASKA ALSO lacks a three
meter diving pool, he said, adding
that the University has fallen behind
both the high school swimming
facilities in Lincoln as well as com
munity pools. Wall added that
organized swimming is gaining
strengtii across the state with swim
ming clubs operating in both Lincoln
and Omaha.
"But many school boards across the
sta'e feel that a swimming pool is
an unnecessary expense," he said,
explaining that a good pool costs
between $160,000 and $170,000.
Lincoln East swim mentor Dennis
Vokolek listed improvements ranging
from a fall water polo program to
upgraded summer swimming pro
grams as steps Nebraska must im
plement immediately to keep pace
with surrounding states.
"A WATER POLO program that
is typical in the Big Ten, junior col
leges ana major colleges wuua
definitely enhance the quality of
swimming in the state," he said.
Although adequate ' summer in
structional programs are open to
youngsters in the 8-10 age category,
Vokolek explained that summer pro
grams are lacking for high school and
college-age swimmers. . . .,
He added that two full-scale clinics
featuring well-known speakers and
swimming authorities should be held
in Nebraska each year.
"There's a lack of unification
between the kids swim program, the
high schools and the AAU i n
Nebraska," he said.
A SWIMMING aide for three years
at the University of Iowa, he said
Iowa maintains a unified cooperation
among its swimming programs, but
this does not exist in Nebraska.
The results of these deficiences in
Nebraska's swimming structure from
tha email isolated school to the laclJ
of adequate facilities in Lincoln an I
omaha on the University's swimrmnj
team is simple.
NU last won a Big Eight swimming
crown in 1937, when it put together
three straight titles beginning in im.
The Huskers have placed second i
3w3 1948. 1947 ana lass only ana nave
captured just 4 Big Eight meet vic-j
tones.
IN CONTRAST Iowa State holds Ifil
meet wins and Oklahoma has w al
the tourney on 15 occasions. But thel
picture is not quite so Dieaic.
This January, Nebraska defeate:ll
Iowa State at the Coliseum pool foil
the first time in almost a quartorl
century, giving promise to tteta i
hope that NU may eventually be rated!
among the league's powers.
"Of pnurse. I'm optimistic towar !
the future," he said. "I can only seel
the program going up.

After defeat by Cyclones
Nebraska begins preparation
for Jayhawks at Lawrence
by John Dvorak
Nebraskan Staff Writer
After bowing to Iowa State's
sparkplug Cyclones 75-74 in overtime
Saturday, Nebraska begins an upward
preparation for the Kansas Jayhawks
at Lawrence next weekend.
NU coach Joe Cipriano, disap
pointed after his Hunkers failed to
contain Cyclone Bill Cain, described
KU's 6-9 Dave Robisch as the man
the Hsukers must stop if they are
to win at Allen Fieldhouse. He added
that NU must also halt 6-5 forward
Bruce Sloan to take its sixth victory
in 22 years at Lawrence.
BUT THE HUSKFRS couldn't stop
the big man Cain Saturday. The
Cyclone renter, who looks gigantic
and imposing despite being only 6-6,
hi "7 ooints.
The only other Cyclone in double
fiiTe- was guari Jim Abrahamson
wit 8 noinfs.
"Early foul troub'e did hurt us,
eewllv wih Leroy ChlV netting
three fouls after onlv 12 minutes of
plav," "onMnued Cinriano.
CHAT K. FORWARDS .Tim Brocks.
Bob Gratopp, Kenny Cauble and
guard Tom Scantlebury all had four
fouls for the Huskers when the game
en led.
It was Scantlebury, however, who
sent the gsme into overtime. With
a m'nute left in regu'ation play, guard
M?r" Stewart hit a iumnbot to rr-ke
it 67-65 Iowa State. Then with five .
seconds to n'ay. Scan'ebury was

in the third straight overtime loss to
Iowa State.
"We had more discipline," he said.
"And we seemed to be tougher at
times. But many times we just didn't
mnve the ball well enough."
The offense, in this game as well
as throughout the season, has not been
consistent, he continued. The Hsukers
hed enough shots Saturday, 67, but
fa'i'd to connect.

Things now get even tougher for
the Huskers. who stand 2-7 in Big

KANSAS, HOWEVER, took it on the
chin Saturday afternoon from the
Missouri Tigers. Mizzou's one point
victory kept the Kansans in second
plae in the conference race.
"We'll stick with the running
pame " Cipriano said. Guards
Scantlebury and Stewart will probaby
start.
"Now that Jojo White is gone,
maybe the ores will hurt them
morp," the NU menor theorized.
"B' then we trd 'he "ress ai!nst
the Cvclones, and it didn't seem very
effective."
Wrestlers,
gymnasts

Husker wrestlers and
gymnasts had trouble
Saturday with Coach Jake
Geier's gymnasts losing to
Minnesota 140.975 to 138.95

Borgialli's crew lost 27-11 to i
Northwest Missouri State. 1
Hastings senior Steve May

and the rings, but a Gopher
sweep in the parallel bar
event sent NU to its fourth
dual defeat in five outings.
Husker Bruce Kempkes won
the high bars.
NU second places were
achieved by Tom Traver in
the side horse and May in
the long horse.

Three Princeton Universi
ty students are leading a
drive to rave youth fares for
airline travel and have
begun a nationwide cam
paign to save the fares.
Their action was prompted
by last month's announce
ment that youth fares would
be eliminated Feb. 20 unless
reviewed by the Civil
Aeronautics Board (CAB).
The three began their ef
forts after speaking with
Arthur Present, the CAB
examiner whose ruling call
ed for an end to the special
youth fares.
Present told the students
that he ruled against the
fares for violating section 404
of the Federal Aviation Act
cl 1358, which prohibit!
"unreasonable" discrimina
tion in fares.
IOWA STATE OS
FOR DISCRIMINATION in
fares to exist, nassenpers
must be charged different
amounts for "substantially
similar" services.
The students don't think
the services for full and half
fare passengers are similar
because of inconvenineces.
They include no reserva
tions, the possiblity of being
"bumped" in flight, the
unavailability of special
fares during peak traffic
periods and the fact half-fare
passengers are not served if
there is a meal shortage.
THE STUDENTS say that
the charges of discrimination
have been made by the bus
companies in an attempt to
discourage young people
from flying and force them
to travel by bus.
"Tbii blatantly profit-
fifed)
"'4,- ' Lowm' i'ft
motivated act which totally
disregards the general
welfare of millions of young
people cannot be permitted,"
the students argue.
The CAB has agreed to
review the ruling and will
begin tarings on Feb. 28.
The Piinceton students are
urging other concerned
students to write a letter to
the CAB in Washington, D.C.
or circulate a petition on
behalf of the youth fares.
