After defeating Colorado 79-65 Mon
day night, coach Joe Cipriano is hop
ing his Jefense-minded II u s k e r
basketballers. continue defensing
Kansas State's Gene Williams, Jerry
Vensble and Steve Honeycutt Satur
day night as well as they did against
Colorado.
In capturing its third Big Eight vic
tory against eight defeats before 7,000
roaring Coliseum fans, NU held the
Bi? ight's leading scorer Cliff Meely
to " points and Gordon Tope to 15.
Bit Cipriano said Kansas State would
provide stiffer opposition for NU.
"They're a tougher ball club
personnel-wise," he said." Venable,
Williams and Honeycutt will probably
give us a better ball game than Col
orado." The Buffs, leading the league before
dropping their fourth league game to
Nebraska led 27-24 before a Husker
spurt brought NU a 37-29 halftime
lead that they never relinquished.
Nebraska hit 31 of 62 shots for the
season's best percentage of 50 per
cent, while the Bouldermen sunk 27
of 65 for a respectable 41 per cent.
Cipriano said the enthusiastic 7,000
Coliseum backers also helped
Nebraska with its tenth match in 23
tries.
NU was paced by Geneva forward
Bob Gratopp's 22 points, center Leroy
Chalk with 18 points and the game's
top rebounder with 14 and swift
Marvin Stewart with 21 tallies. Tom
Scantlebury added 10 points and Ken
Cauble in a starting role, played well
defensively although not scoring.
Cipriano said Nebraska would pro
bably remain with its starting lineup
for the 7:35 D.m. Coliseum match
Saturday. Starters Cauble, Chalk,
Stewart, Scantlebury and Gratopp
halted a four-game losing streak
Monday.
Unlike other years, no Husker
seniors make their final appearances
Saturday night in the season's home
finale. NU, which avenged a previous
83-81 Boulder loss with the Monday
night triumph, hopes to even an
earlier 95-72 trouncing from Kansas
State at Manhattan.
Coach Bill Harrell's NU freshman
basketballers stretched their record
to 8-3 with an impressive 91-66 victory
over Creston Iowa Junior College. The
Huskers, winners of their last three
matches, were led by Chuck Jura's
29 points and guard Al NLssen's 15
points.
Other double figure scorers were
Don Wilson with 11 and Jim White
and Curt LeRossignol each with 10.
The freshmen end their season
Saturday at the Coliseum against
Kansas State.

WE NEVER CLOSE
by Mark Gordon
Sports Editor
Probably more tLan any other
Husker sport, NU's gymnastics team
reflects the growth of the state's high
school program.
Unlike other college coaches who
recruit prepsters from 1,500 miles
away, gymnastics menter Jake Geier
has teams flmost entirely Nebraska
stocked. In fact, only two of this
season's 22 team members are not
from the Cornhusker state.
"I feel this University is here to
attend to the people of its state,"
Geier says. "It's my duty to get
everyone I can from Nebraska and
then look around to boys from other
states. I do all my recruiting in
Nebraska."
Five years ago, only 10 Nebraska
high schools had gymnastics team.
Now 24 schools have the sport and
the number will increase next year
since the Big Ten Conference will add
tiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimmiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiininiiii.
Editor's note This is the last
in a three-part series on minor sports
in Nebraska high schools and their
effect on NU's puccess.
jniiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiniimiiimiMniniiiiii
gymnastics as a conference sport and
McCook and Kimball will field squads. .
But Geier stressed three drawbacks
to Nebraska high school gymnastics
that could limit future development
of prepsters.
While listing the lack of competent
coaches and the initial expenditure
of about $10,000 to start a gymnastic
program, Geier said Nebraska's
limited high school season is perhaps
the largest problem. He added that
in contrast to Illinois, which permits
gymnasts to practice all year,
Nebraska schools have the sport only
during the winter months.
"It's obvious the Illinois boy will
be more advanced when he gets to
college," he said. "That doesn't mean
he's a better gymnast but the
Nebraska boy doesn't reach bis peak
as early as in Illinois."
But Geier said he was not in favor
of permitting gymnasts to perform
all year since it limits the prepster's
total outlook.
Geier said the new rule requiring
high school gymnastics beginning this
fall to be a fall sport, coinciding with
football season, is simply a matter
of practical interpretation. Ap
parently, the reasoning for the change
concerns the lack of facilities in tine
winter with basketball, wrestling and
gymnastics competing for the same
facilities, he added.
While Nebraska gymnastics cannot
compete with California or Illinois,
Art Hillman, gymnastics coach at
Lincoln Southeast said Cornhusker
performers would have done excep
' tionally well in last year's Kansas
state meet. .
"Besides better coaches, we need
a friendlei schedule between the Lin
coln and Omaha schools," he said.
"Lincoln teams need the competition
but it's hard to schedule Omaha
schools."
He said with the state's gymnastics
power in Lincoln, it's harder for
Capital City teams to perform at their
best against weaker outstate teams.
He added that competition in
Nebraska would improve if Lincoln
and outstate schools could meet
Omaha schools.
"If the power was more balanced,
with top gymnastics in all schools,"
he explained," then Nebraska could
select five or six boys with a strong
background that would do well once
they started in Lincoln."
Richard Beran, Omaha South High
gymnastic coach, said Nebraska high
schools should institute college rules
and begin all-around coiupetition and
possibly eliminate the trampoline
event since it is not used in college
matches.
A two-year gymnastic captain at NU
during the early 60's, Beran also said
Nebraska high school gymnastics
meets must attract more capable
judges. He added that the Omaha area
has many good judges, but more are
needed.
He predicted NU teams will im
prove beginning next season as
Nebraska should be able to attract
many winners in this year's state
meet, which will be the finest ever.
Although Nebraskans lack the con
sistency and form of gymnasts in II-
linois and California, Lincoln High
coach Phil Spragua said for the time
state prepsters have to work out, they
ao an excellent od.
"I don't advocate having a team
work out the entire year," he said.
"But we should have facilities in Lin
coln where gymnasts can go to prac
tice on their own if they want to."
He said Omaha area gymnasts can
work out in the Sokol Hall all year,
which gives them an advantage in
that respect over other Nebraska
gymnasts. He added that with much
of the sport based on strength, many
gymnasts just achieve their best
physical condition at state meet time.
Even with these problems Geier is
optimistic claiming after last year's
next to last place finish in the Big
Eight Meet, NU can only go up.
"We'll get back up there soon," he
said. "These things run in cycles
it's simply a matter of rebuilding and
getting going again."
With the enthusiastic predictions
from area coaches, that getting going
again might happen soon.
