Cyclone ace eyes records
Cain 'double trouble 9
By STEVE SINCLAIR
Assistant Sports Editor
Nebraska basketball
coach Joe Cipriano will
have to figure a way for
the Huskers to stop six
players at a time against
Iowa State Saturday af
ternoon. Cyclone coach Glen Anderson
fields only five players at a
time, but after an Iowa State
game, opposing coaches
usually feel like they have
tangled with six.
THE CYCLONE starting
lineup includes Jim
Abrahamson, Dave Collins,
Jack DeVilder and Aaron
Jenkins. The fifth and sixth
man is Bin Cain.
"That man (Cain, has to be
twins no one player can be in
so many key spots at once,"
said a Kansas sports writer
after Cain lifted Iowa State
past Kansas, 91-89, earlier in
the season.
"When the going gets really
tough, you can figure that the
defensive hand that is causing
the opposition the most trouble
will belong to Cain," Anderson
said.
"Bill does a great job for us
on offense and in rebounding,
but very few people realize how
great he is on defense," he ad
ded. "He not only, takes good
care of his own man but the
way he helps out with team
mates who get caught makes
him even more valuable."
Cain, who will close out his
career against Nebraska likely
will break a pair of Big Eight
records in his last two games.

The Big Eight Conference
basketball scramble would
make a good commercial for
Avis . . . we're No. 2, but we
try harder. '
It will take a lot of cham
pionship effort Saturday for a
team to emerge in the con
ference runner up spot.
Nebraska will have more
than an eye on a second place
league finish the Huskers
have an issue to settle with
challenger Iowa State, which
has outdueled Nebraska in the
clubs' last two Lincoln
meetings.
The Cornhuskers cannot gain
an undisputed second place
finish in the regionally-televised
game, but they can secure a
tie for the spot, if other Big
Eight games develop in the
right fashion.
For instance, Kansas must
lose at home against Kansas
State, Oklahoma must lose at
Oklahoma State (Henry Iba's
last game), and Missouri must
lose at Colorado.
If such games materialize, a
5-way second place, deadlock
will include Nebraska, Kansas,
Missouri, Colorado and
Oklahoma with final 7-7
records.
The Cornhuskers, however,
must break the Cyclone jinx
besides depending upon all
developments.
Nebraska, getting improving
performances from frontlincrs
Chuck Jura and Bob Gratopp,
gets the favored role over the
Cyclones, having beaten them
in the Big Eight Conference
tournament while dropping a 2
point decision at Ames.
Sophomore Jura and senior
Gratopp will join Leroy Chalk
in battling ISU's Bill Cain, the
Big 8's leading rebounder.
Cain has inflicted most
damage in Nebraska's five
regular season losses to the
Cyclones in the 1st three years.
Cain also presents a big of
fensive threat with a 16.8
average. Forwards Aaron
Jenkins (14.5) and Dave Collins
(11.1) add to the inside threat.
The Cyclones backcourt with
Jack DeVilder and Jim
Abrahamson offers con
siderable speed for Nebraska's
Tom Scantlebury and Sam
Martin.

(Iowa State played at Colorado
Thursday night).
THE WHITE Plains, N.Y.
senior needed only two free
throws to break ex-Cyclone Don
Smith's all time Big Eight
career mark of 502.
He needs 25 rebounds in the
two games to reach a con
ference total of 212, one more
than Bill Bridges pulled down
for Kansas in 1959.
Cain, an all-conference
performer as a junior, ranks
second to Smith in Cyclone

statistics.
He is currently the con
ferences's leading rebounder
with 187 and a 15.6 per game
average. He also ranks fourth
in scoring at a 16.8 points per
game and 201 total points.
MORE THAN a dozen pro
scouts have been in Ames this
season to watch Cain. This la
exactly 11 more than scouted
him in high school when
Anderson accldently discovered
his future star in a county
tournament game.

ference record to 6-7, keeping
