Huskers top Wyoming
in season opener
by Dave Mc Bride
If Wednesday night was any
indication, Nebraska basketball
fans may have an exciting
season of court-watching
ahead.
Using the running,
crowd-pleasing offense and the
pressure defense he had
promised during pre-season
practice, Coach Joe Cipriano's
hustling Huskers downed
Wyoming 8163 in the
Coliseum in the season opener
for both teams.
Led by starting frontliners
Chuck Jura, Al Nissen and
Mike Peterson, Nebraska built
a 42-28 halftime lead with a
late bevy of fast breaks, then
Cipriano shuttled reserves in
and out of the lineup to keep
up the pace.
Jura, the Huskers' 6-10
senior center who, according to
Cipriano, has the potential to
become one of the best players
the school has produced,
tallied 1 8 points and cleared 2 1
rebounds to lead the team. The
need for improved rebounding
by Jura was one of the big
things Cipriano had stressed
throughout fall drills.
Nissen, the 6-4 senior from
Miller, S.D. who was shifted

HONOLULU, HAWAII-An
81 degree temperature and a
warm reception by hula girls
greeted the Nebraska
Comhuskers upon their arrival
at Honolulu airport Wednesday
afternoon. One hula girl
couldn't resist the temptation
of reminding the Huskers they
came to Hawaii to play a
football game, not just to
spend a vacation.
"You guys remind me of
the New Mexico football team
that was here last week," the
hula girl commented. "They
were excited about being in
Hawaii, too, but then they lost
the football game."
The University of Hawaii
football team, which meets
No. 1 -ranked Nebraska at
Honolulu Saturday night, upset
New Mexico 28-21 last
Saturday.
But it's going to be tough
for the Comhuskers to think
only about football. The team
is staying at the luxurious
Hilton Hawaii Hotel on Waikiki
Beach overlooking Diamond
Head.
Nebraska fans who arrived
early in Honolulu were not
allowed to meet the team at

from guard to lend more speed
to the frontline, contributed
17 points and 14 rebounds.
Peterson added 15 points, with
several of his seven field goals
coming from long range, and
snared 1 2 rebounds.
They led Nebraska to a
73-34 rebounding edge over
the Cowboys, a young team
whose first-game jitters were
compounded by an aggressive
Husker defense.
Rod Penner, a 6-9 center
who is one of only four
returning lettermen for the
Cowboys (the Huskers have
eight), led Wyoming with 20
points and 1 2 rebounds.
A crowd of 5,700,
including a spirited pep band
section, saw both teams start
slowly. The Huskers didn't get
their running game in gear until
midway through the first half,
when they broke from a
four-point deficit to their
14-point halftime margin.
Wyoming's last lead was
12-10 with 12:51 left in the
first half. Jura scored from
underneath after a Nissen feed
to tie the game at 11:42, and
then poked in two more a
minute later to give the
Huskers a lead they never
relinquished.

the airport because of the
traffic jam it would create, but
more than 500 Big Red fans
gave the team a standing
ovation when their buses
arrived at the hotel.
Nebraska football is no
stranger to tourists at Waikiki
Beach. Approximately 12,000
Husker fans are expected by
the weekend, and Big Red hats
and buttons are seen at nearly
every hotel on the beach.
The Huskers arrived at
Honolulu at 7 p.m. Lincoln
time (3 p.m. Hawaii time).
They departed the Lincoln
airport at 8:30 a.m. but were
delayed for two hours at San
Francisco with a maintenance
problem in the jet. The
Nebraska football party had to
move to a different aircraft for
the five-hour flight to Hawaii.
The Huskers went through a
light scrimmage under the
lights at Honolulu Stadium
Wednesday night. Nebraska
holds another practice session
Thursday afternoon and then
will be entertained at a Chinese
dinner Thursday night.
A tour of Pear Harbor is
planned for Friday morning.
Game time Saturday is at
midnight Lincoln time.
