Editor's note This Is the second
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 will the nation's fastest
growing high school sport reap
dividends for NU's wrestling team?
Although the answer is indefinite,
the results of the snowballing appeal
of high school wrestling in Nebraska
will be evident, at least if the
tremendous upsurge in wrestling
enthusiasm is an indicator.
.,.
IN 1953 only 13 schools in Lincoln
and Omaha wrestled, but this
weekend at the State High School
Wrestling Tournament, 150 teams, 25
more than last year, will participate
in the annual affair that could draw

The University Soccer Club can
probably say there's no place like
Nebraska and mean it as no other
athletic team can.
The club has just joined the Big
Eigh Soccer league composed of all
Big Eight school teams after two
seasons in leagues of area soccer
clubs and state colleges. This league
is officially recognized by the Big
Eight and will play a regular schedule
next fall.
VICTOR UMUNNA, team captain,
told the Daily Nebraskan that Nebras
ka will be the only team in the league
without uniforms and must pay all its
expenses. He added that Kansas
State's team receives $500, the lowest
sum of any team except NU's, who
receives nothing.
He estimates between $300 nd $500
would adequately equip and provide
expenses for the team during its in
itial year in the new league.
Umunna has oreviously been turned
down in his request for recognition
and financing by the University
athletic department and Men's and
Women's Physical Education
Departments. He added that the
Women's Department would not even
allow the team use of their land as
a practice area.
The usual excuse given was that
the team was not in a rerognized
league. Now the team 's in a league
recognized bv the Big Eight office,
perhaps NU will also recognize this
team financially.
FOR THOSE intelligent fans who
attend NU basketball games please
lav off coach Joe Cipriano and his
team.
The team is trying to provide a
fourth straight winning team to
Husker backers, which is quite a feat
considering the pitiful state NU cage
bar was in before Cipriano arrived
in 1963. Lacking seniors and any all
conference caliber players this team
can't be expected to provide NU's
first league title since 1950.

20,000 fans, according to Orval
Borgialli, NU wrestling coach.
"It's just a matter of time before
we develop an outstanding program
here," he said. "Nebraska is at the
bottom of the pay scale so other states
can attract better coaches. But once
the pay improves, so will the
coaching."
He said 10 years ago Oklahoma,
the nation's leading wrestling state,
had 29 former national collegiate
wrestling champions coaching in high
schools. He added that Nebraska now

Remarks I
Oakland Raider defensive back War
ren Powers and former NU great Bill
(Thunder) Thornton have rejoined the
University team this time as assis
tant coaches. Head coach Bob
Devaney said they will be assigned
definite duties shortly. Their hiring
comes as a result of ex-defensive line
coach George Kelly's recent move to
Notre Dame.
'
A RECENT Big Eight release said
seven conference members have
agreed to raise prices of reserved
football tickets to $6 beginning this
fall. NU has not made a decision yet;
it would be nice if it were to be
the lone conference member to leave
ticket prices within the range of Joe
Fan rather than J. P. Morgan.
If you want to see one of the most
competitive and entertaining high
school tournaments, attend the state
wrestling conclave at the Coliseum
Friday and Saturday. Meet Director
Orval Borgialli, who also spends some
time as NU wrestling coach, informs
us that this year's annual gathering
will feature the best balance of any
tournament.
Wrestling is growing by leaps and
bounds and usually produces more
competition and excitement than its
winter-season competitor basket
ball. DID YOU KNOW THAT Kansas
aims for its 100th series victory over
Nebraska Saturday night at Allen
Fieldhouse ... NU has won just four
Big Eight conference contests against
the Jayhawks and in 1958 Wilt Cham
berlain scored 46 points, his second
highest total -ever, against NU in a
102-46 slaughter at Lawrence.
Last year, coach Frank Sevigne's
track squad belted Iowa State indoors
108-14 in Lincoln. The same two
squads tangle at the East Stadium
track beginning at 1:30 p.m. Saturday
in what should be just a well-timed
scrimmage for NU before the Big
Eight's Indoor Meet at Kansas City
the following week.
Nebraska wrestles against the
University of South Dakota at 4 p.m.
Saturday at the Coliseum, while the
World Campus Afloat,
is a college that does more
than broaden horizons.
It sails to them and beyond.
Once again, beginning in October of 1969, the
World Campus Afloat program of Chapman
College and Associated Colleges and Universities
will take qualified students, faculty and staff
into the world laboratory.
In-port programs relevant to fully-accredited
coursework taught aboard ship add the dimension
of personal experience to formal learning.
Classes are held six days a week at sea
aboard the s.s. Ryndam which has been equipped
with classrooms, laboratories, library, student
union, dining room and dormitories.
Chapman College now Is accepting applica
tions for the Fall and Spring semesters of the
1969-70 academic year. Fall semesters depart
New York for ports in Western Europe and the
Mediterranean, Africa and South America, ending
in Los Angeles. Spring semesters circle the
world from Los Angeles through the Orient, India
and South Africa to New York.

in 1949.
Borgialli said both Sooner state
schools have 30 full grants-in-aid to
offer wrestlers, while Nebraska can't
match that figure. With only a limited
recruiting budget, Borgialli must
curtail his recruiting travel to just
Nebraska and woo out-staters via the
mail routes.
"BUT IT'S REALLY improved," he
said. "We've gotten more money since
Bob Devaney has become athletic
director (in 1967) than in all the
previous years combined."
Although all but one Class A school
in Nebraska has wrestling, he said,
the smaller schools need only make
an initial investment of between $2,000
and $3,000 for a good wrestling mat
to begin a program.

What happens after graduation to

his time and energy in college work

He has become deeply involved
with "social change" while he is in
school. Does he forget it all and go to
work for General Motors when school
is over?
FOR MANY students, the answer
is "yes." They want to get married
and want to make a good salary; or
they just don't know that there is
anything else to do "out in the big
world." So they work for business, or
for the government.
Sometimes their interest in social
reform and politics is gradually for

their lives unsatisfying and regret

sport's enthusiasm and help develop
better competitors in the state.

Gail Baum said with outstate schools
reaching the same level as Omaha
schools, NU wrestling will improve.
"Before, Nebraska has been limited
since the University of Omaha at
tracted all the top-wrestlers from
Omaha," he said. "Then it was hard
to get Omaha-area wrestlers to come
to NU, but now with better wrestlers
outstate, NU can attract them."
BUT THE influence of the Omaha
area wrestlers on the University of
Nebraska at Omaha's team is evident.
The undefeated Indians are the na

This system is very unwieldy, he
commented. It has a committee
structure that functions well in some
areas but poor in others.

Baum added that despite making
great strides with Borgialli at the
controls, NU still is competing with
three nationally-rated schools.
"We can help close the gap between
high schools in Colorado and
Oklahoma," Baum said, "if we put
wrestling in the same, light as these
states do." : '

eventually place equal " value on

The Faculty Senate was created by
the Board of Regents decades ago,
he said. It was set up for a University
that no longer exists.
Daly also agreed that added library

THE LIAISON committee should
determine priorities and then Inform
the legislature and the governor about
these needs.
Committee members have a
reputation for being powerful,
observed another faculty member, Dr.
Phillip Scribner.
"THEY HAVE to be powerful and
strong," he said. Committee members
can just mouth the administration's
position, or they can work with all
involved parties and sincerely attempt
to work out solutions. '
Torrence concluded that the com

so long as it takes honest and objective
views of any issue that comes before
it.
"But we are human, beings. We try

Simpson claimed that Class A schools
lack enthusiasm for wrestling. He ad
ded that schools such as Valentine,
Lexington and, Albion, have mon
wrestling spirit than many Class A
schools.
"It's discouraging to the kids when
no one goes to the matches and the
media doesn't publicize the events."
he said. "It's a fact that in the larger
schools,' '' people aren't watching
wrestling."
'"Wrestling is like any sport. Off-n-the
best scholarships and you get tho

LlncolnvNortheast wrestling guide.
"After you 'start building a reputation

i PROBABLY THE best comparison
of, the skyrocketing high school en

Mclntyre heard in discussing wrestl
ing with an Iowa high school coach.
, "When I asked him to compare
wrestling in the two states, he refuse I
. to answer the question. He only said
that Iowa has more wrestlers."
Mclntyre said. "That in itself shows
the strides Nebraska has made."
