Peterson to miss opener
by JIM JOHNSTON
Associate Sports Editor
Nebraska basketball coach
Joe Cipriajno is optimistic. His
Comhuskers recorded big wins
over Colorado State and
Wichita - State before placing
second to powerful Kansas in
the Big Eight Tournament
Nebraska owns a 10-2
record one of the best starts
ever for Cornhusker basketball.
But there's one draw back. The
Huskers will be without the
services of 6-8 junior forward
Mike Peterson for at least the
next month. ,:
Peterson, whose consistent
efforts have been responsible
for Nebraska's good start,
broke a bone in his foot daring
a practice session this week. 1
And the Comhuskers will
definitely miss his 6-8 frame
when they travel to Manhattan,
Kan. Saturday night to meet
defending Big Eight champion
Kansas State. '
"I've been extremely pleased
with the way we played over"
the holidays," offered coach
Cipriano. "I've probably never
been so optimistic about enter-
Child care center

the Department of Human
Development and the Family
on the East Campus wUl have
openings for children to enroll
for second semester.
The children must be those of

ages 3-5. The center operates
from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.

ing the Big Efeht season as I
am this year. But I just don't
know what to think about losing
Peterson. He's done a good job
for us."
Sophomore Tony Riehl will
probably get the starting nod in
place of Peterson. But that
definitely cuts down on
Nebraska's bench strength.
Cipriano has known all
season that he has possibly
eight players .who can see con
sistent action. But with the loss
of Peterson that may be cut to
seven.
Junior forward Tom Bryan,
who returned to Nebraska after
spending a year at California
Poly, may be the answer.
"Bryan could be the key to
the rest of our season," said
Cip. Bryan will be eligible at .
second semester because . of
transfer rules
"We'll know where we stand
after this weekend," said
Cipriano. "As usual, the key to
the Big Eight season will be
how many games you win on
the road."
Nebraska will be facing a
Kansas State team with a 5-6
season mark second worst in
the modern era for the
Wildcats. But Wildcat coach
Jack Hartman isn't throwing in
the towel.
"As far as we're concerned,
it's the start of a new season,"
says Hartman. "Our play to
date has left no doubt in mind
as to what accomplishments we
must make in order to stay
alive in the conference race."
The Comhuskers, who led the
nation in field goal accuracy
for a short while, have not ex
perienced many major changes
in their starting lineup. Junior
guard Al Nissen has been get
ting the starting nod over
sophomore Tom Gregory, but
Gregory is still seeing about 20
minutes of action each game.
Wrestlers will try to even
recorq against
Goph
Nebraska's1 wrestling team
will travel -to Minneapolis
Saturday for a dual meet with
the University of Minnesota.
The Husker:; 12 in d u a 1
competition this season, are
looking to revenge a 22-12
defeat Minnesota handed them
last year.
Earlier this season the
Husker grapplers lost a dual
meet to two-time national
champion Iowa State scoring
eight points to the Cyclones 25.
South Dakota State defeated
the Huskers in their second
meet, 21-15.
The only bright spot for the
Huskers this season was an 18-
ers
14 victory over South Dakota
University.
According to Nebraska
wrestling coach Frank
Borgialli.the Huskers have not
progressed as well as he had
hoped. "Our team is inconsis
tent," Borgialli said. "We'll
have one guy going pretty well
and then someone will let us
down."
One of the problems the
Huskers have had this season is
injuries. Bobby Orta,
Nebraska's midget marvel
along with a number of other
grapplers have missed meets
this season because of .injuries.
