Ehiskers claim 6 by JIM JOHNSTON Sports Editor Boulder, Cola.-The most unlikely man, did the most unlikely thing, at the most unlikely place. And Nebraska escaped with a 65-63 win over Colorado. Colorado's Cliff Meely, the Big Eight's leading scorer, blew a wide open shot under the basket with eight seconds remaining and the Cornhuskers won their first game at the Colorado Fieldhouse since 1953. The Cornhuskers led all of the second half before Colorado's Jim Creighton scored a field- goal with 3:07 remaining for a 61-60 Colorado lead. But the Huskers came back and quick. Nebraska scored five straight points without an answer from Colorado for a 65-61 advantage with only 1:19 remaining. Bob Hoffman made it 65-63 with 1:09 showing and the Huskers went into a stall. The strategy worked until Tony Riehl was called for a three-second violation with 31 seconds to go. The Buffs took over, called time out, and waited for the last shot. Meely, by himself under the basket, took the shot. And he missed. Al Nissen cleared the boards and was fouled with four seconds showing. He missed both ends of a two shot fiee-thrcw but the gun sounded before Colorado got off another shot. The win, the Huskers first in 18 years at Boulder, put a tighter grip on Nebraska's bid for second in the Big Eight and inN. I. T. berth. The Huskers, now 5-3 in Big Eight play, trail front running Kansas (8-0), and Missouri 6-2 L Marv Stewart, who finished the night with 27 points, became the fourth leading scorer in Corah usker history with 1017 points.

"The jinx was really with us. It was a great win. The kids knew it was a long time since we've won here. And they wanted to be part of stopping it." The Cornhuskers, who used a running game to defeat Missouri Saturday, went back to a slow, deliberate brand against Colorado. The Huskers held Meely to 27 points, 20 less than he scored here Saturday against Oklahoma. "They tried to get the ball into Meely," said Cip. "And Dudley Mitchell was the only one shooting from outside. I felt we gave Mitchell too many easy shots." "I was pleased with the board play," Cip continued. "I thought Jura and Peterson did a good job on Meely. Nissen gave us leadership. And Riehl gave us mobility."

This should be the nucleus for the remainder of the season. The Huskers return eight lettermen from last year's 1 5-1 1 squad that finished third in the Big Eight. However, they also lost seven lettermen. "We lost some fine people from last year." said coach Tony Sharpe. "In fact, along with Kansas State, we probably lost more personnel than anybody in the league." NEBRASKA WILL RETURN one of the strongest pitching staffs in the conference. Juniors Paul Marek, Glen Gilmore, and Bruce Craemer were all regulars last season and all throw right handed. Lettermen Joe Baker and Gene Slohs return in the outfield. Slohs can also double as a pitcher and could be the Huskers" only left-handed hurler this year. "WE RE HOPING STOHS can stay away from injuries," said Sharpe. "He had a fane summer playing in a summer league in Kansas. He led his team in hitting at about .390 and was an all league choice." The Huskers will have to find replacements for three-fourths of the infield. Gone from last year are second baseman Tom Tidball.

Asked if any one thing was a key for Nebraska, Cipriano said it was"desire" "We never gave up from the start," said Cip. "There's no question about it. We had tempo, we had poise, and we went after every loose ball on the floor." The first half, which saw returns eight lettermen and third baseman Bob Griego. Steve Achelpohl returns to the infield and can play either second or third base If he goes to second, Tim Harris and freshman Jim Smith will be in contention for a third base job. Peter Bethell from Nassau, Bahamas, appears to be the leading candidate at shortstop. At 6-8, Bethell could be the tallest shortstop of all time. OTHER TOP FRESHMEN include Dan Watts from Bellevue in the infield and Tim Roma nick from Ralston at catcher. Johnny Rodgers and Frank Vactor from the football team are vying for outfield jobs. Looking toward the season, Sharpe would make no predictions. "It's a crazy game to predict." said Sharpe. "The teams are so equal, the weather can play a factor, and there's a certain amount of luck Study in Guadalajara, Mexico The Guadalajara Summer Schoo', a fuWy accredited Urvwernty of Anz&na program, will offer July 5 to August 14, art, folklore, georgraptty. history, political science, language and literature courses.

One team can hit a line drive that's caught, while another team will have it fall in." Analyzing the Big Eight though, Sharpe looks for Kansas to be tough. "KANSAS SHOULD BE real good. They lost only one regu lar from last year's second place team. And Iowa State, the top team last season, only lost three men. Colorado had an almost all freshman team and they could be strong, too." The results of the last two seasons acknowledge the fact that it is hard to predict baseball. Oklahoma State, the top team two years ago, finished eighth last season. Conversely, Nebraska was in the cellar two years ago and came back to fight for the championship a year later. "We're not pessimistic," concluded Sharpe," but we've got our work cut out for us." 434-7421 54th&OStreet NOW SHOWING! V s.r.niiir, worn..
