Kappa Alpha Psi takes championship N ss m 1 "ill (P 17 ft L '-iiJI A' The Born Losers bench. . .(front row from left) Dan Wombacher, Delbert Siefken, Al Bischoff and coach Mike Johnannes. The agony of defeat. Kappa Alpha Psi, rated No. 1 in the fraternity division, captured the all-University basketball championship with a 64-57 win over the Born Losers at University High Sunday afternoon. Kappa Alpha Psi trailed by one point at the half, but exploded for a big 24-point third quarter and a 49-36 lead at the end of three periods. It was a typical Kappa Alpha Psi victory. They psyched out their opponent. Ernie Britt and Ken Geddes harassed the Born Losers on defense and Ben Brown handled the scoring. Brown, who scores from everywhere, finished with 24 points to lead all scorers. Britt tossed in 16 in the winning effort while Johnny Pitts and Willie Harper each added 10. The Born Losers were led in scoring by Tim DomGard with 15 points followed by Doug Loos with 1 1. The loss halted a comeback effort by the Born Losers who had advanced from the losers bracket to win the independent division. Kappa Alpha Psi was undefeated in tournament play.

Determination is not something you're born with. ItSt developed, as is character, from the school of hard knocks. Determination is standing just 5-9 and weighing only 158 pounds and saying you're good enough to play major college football. Determination is turning that 5-9 frame into the most productive pass receiver in Cornhusker football history. ( Determination is Guy Ingles. And just because he wasn t drafted in the annual NFL draft, Ingles wouldn't let that interfere with his desire to play (of all things) professional football. He went job hunting. Friday he signed with the Kansas City Chiefs. "I've always dreamed about playing professional football, said Ingles shortly after being neglected by the NFL draft. "Just because I wasn't drafted doesn't mean I'm going to fall .... . over backwards. Ira still going to give pro pan a try. So Ingles and Nebraska receiver coach Tom Osborne set out to find Guy a home. Professional football team contacts included Atlanta and Boston before Kansas City entered the picture. "Kansas City called three times," said Ingles. "Coach Osborne figured if they were that interested it would be best to sign with them" Does Ingles think he has a chance to make it with the 1970 Super Bowl champions? Afterall, the Chiefs have top veteran receivers in Otis Taylor and Frank Pitts and they drafted Houston's Elmo Wright. "If I didn't think I had a chance of making it I wouldn't give it a try," said Ingles. "If I make it, It's going to be on my moves and ability to make cuts at the precise time. I don't have the flat out speed to beat many secondary men in professional football." Challenge nothing new But the challenge of professional football will be nothing new to Ingles. He's lived with challenges all his athletic life. "Some people thought I was too small for high school football," remembered Ingles. Then he earned all-Metro and all-State honors at Omaha Westside. Despite those credentials, many thought he was too small for college football. But he soon proved his ability in his sophomore year at Nebraska. Ingles spelled Tom Penney at split end and caught 14 passes for 146 yards in his sophomore year. During his junior campaign, Ingles developed into one of the finest wide receivers and punt returners in the Big Eight and the nation. Prior to the 1971 Orange Bowl, Ingles had 78 career catches for 1 ,2 1 2 yards. He ranks with Cornhusker mighty mites like Frank Solich and Larry Wacholtz. Likes wide receiver. Although basically a halfback in high school, Ingles was shifted to wide receiver at Nebraska. That's where he hopes to make it with the Chiefs. "There's been some talk about my being a punt returner in the pros." said Ingles. "But I'd rather concentrate on being a wide receiver." He has a jumping ability that makes his 5-9 frame look 6-9 ?!? 0th. footbal1 field. As a prep long jumper, Ingles leaped 22-8. He was a member of the Nebraska track squad before signing with Kansas City. Ingles realizes he'll be one of the smallest receivers in the NFL if he makes it with the Chiefs. But those who toss aside Ingles chances of making it should remember one thing He's a determined Guy. And that, sometimes, can be the most important statistic a rookie brings to camp.
