"NU track hopes fade at Kansas City
by STEVE KADEL
Sports Writer
Kansas City-What can you
say about a good track team
that finishes fifth? That they
were upset in the mile? And
the mile relay? And practically
everywhere else?
If you're talking about
Nebraska's disappointing fifth
place performance at the Big
Eight Indoor Track and Field
MEET Saturday, the answer is
yes.
NU ENTERED the meet
potentially capable of
defeating perennial conference
kingpin Kansas, but learned
.that winning a title on paper
and doing it on the track aren't
quite the same. Despite coining
ii.ro the meet with three
conference leaders on the form
chart and others sprinkled
within the top five the
Cornhuskers failed to twin an
event.
But KU's victory, their sixth
straight indoor title, wasn't just
the product of Nebraska's
collapse. The Jayhawks helped
themselves with clutch
performances where they
needed them.
Some thought Kansas might
be weak in the pole vault
because 1970 indoor winner
Jan Johnson had transferred.
No problem-in stepped Bill
Hatcher who vaulted 16-4 to
win. And with defending long
jump champion Phil Reaves
injured, KU looked vulnerable
in that event-until Mike Stutt
sailed 24-7 for first place.
SURPRISING COLORADO
grabbed the runner-up spot as
NU faded farther and farther
back.
"If you look at our marks
we really didn't do that bad,"
remarked Nebraska's Assistant
Coach Dean Brittenham. "For
instance, Garth (Case) was
beaten in the 600 but he ran a
great time. In the two-mile Bob
Under placed fifth with a 9:04
but that time would have put
him right with last year's
winner. I think it's a case of
the whole conference being
better this year."
Brittenham pointed out that
NU was hurt by weakness in
the field events.
"It's because we haven't

recruited heavily in the field
events," he explained, "a half
or more of our kids are
walk-ons and it's hard to
expect them to compete with
someone like a Salf from
Kansas. I'd imagine we'll try to
get more people in this area
but they're rare-there 's just not
that many good performers
around.'
NEBRASKA'S TROUBLES
started early when sub-four
minute miler Greg Carlberg was
beatn by Oklahoma State's
Peter Kaal. Kaal was
disqualified for pushing, but
after reviewing video tapes of
the race officials decided he
wasn't guilty of the infraction
and he was awarded the gold
medal.
NU also came close to
winning the 880 but Larry
Cimato's last lap sprint started
too late to catch KU's Jim
Neihouse and theHusker
freshman had to settle for
second.
"I should have stayed closer
to him during the middle of
the race," Cimato said minutes
after the finish. "Then I could
have gotten him on the last lap.
I was worried about going out
too hard and having someone
catch me from behind. I could
have even lost second that
way."

Nebraska basketball coach
Joe Cipriano said Saturday's
. date with Missouri wasn't a
must game.
It wasn't. ..mathmatically
speaking. But it
was. ..practically speaking. And
the Cornhuskers lost, 77-65.
Nebraska remains fourth in
the Big Eight at 6-5. Missouri
leads the second place race for
the NIT with an 8-3 league
record and Oklahoma stands
third at 7-4.
IF NEBRASKA is to get
sole possession of second, it
must win its three remaining
games. And league leading
Kansas (10-0) is included on
the Huskers remaining list at
Lawrence, Kansas.
The Huskers also face
Kansas State and Colorado at
the Coliseum.
But in addition to three
Nebraska wins, it would also
take three Missouri losses to
the same teams. Oklahoma
(with Iowa State, Kansas and
Oklahoma State remaining)
would have to lose two of its
remaining games if the Huskers
hope for sole ownership of
second.
THERE IS4 of course, still
the possibility of a tie for
second place. But if the
Huskers tied with Oklahoma,
the Sooners would probably
get the NIT invitation since
they defeated Nebraska twice.
Should Nebraska tie with
Missouri, the Huskers would
probably be invited for the
best overall record. But if
Nebraska still hopes for second
(either by itself or tied) it will
need plenty of outside
assistance.
CIPRIANO REALIZES
THIS. "We just have to play
them one at a time," said Cip
last week. "All we can do now
is play our best and hope we
get some help from other
teams."
The Cornhuskers fell behind
early against Missouri, 8-0, and
never gained the lead.
Although tying the game four
times in the first half,
the Huskers suffered from a
slow-starting second half and
Missouri controlled the
remaining 1 8 minutes.
Nebraska's Marvin Stewart,
a strong contender for all Big
Fight honors, led all scorers
with 30 points.
Nebraska entertains Kansas
State at the Coliseum Tuesday
in a must game for the
Huskers. That's even speaking
mathmatically.
