Wrestling: Coach Orval Borgialli . . . "If
we had 5,000 screaming students, we
would win our duals Friday."
Grapplers host
first home meet
by Gary Seacrest
Wrestling is always a grueling sport. The
practices are demanding and making weight
can be an ordeal. But -wrestling at Nebraska
recently has been super-grueling.
Since Christmas the NU wrestling team
has traveled 8,000 miles by car to compete
in seven dual meets and an open
tournament.
While the NU football team took a
chartered jet to Miami for the Orange Bowl,
Coach Orval Borgialli and his wrestlers drove
non-stop in Borgialli's motor home and a van
to Miami to wrestle Alabama and compete in
the Sunshine Open Tournament. While the
football players were staying in a swank
Miami Beach hotel, the wrestlers were
sleeping in sleeping bags in a church and
then later in a coverted military barrack at a
Miami junior college.
But the traveling is over for the NU
wrestling team for the time being. The

wrestlers will be at home for the first time
this season Friday afternoon at 2:30 when
Kansas State, Minnesota and Missouri visit
the Coliseum for a quadrangular meet.
The Huskers will be coming in off a
weekend trip which saw them lose to
Colorado, 27-15, and beat Wyoming 21-18.
Going into the Colorado contest the NU
wrestlers were undefeated in five straight
duals and the weekend split left the team at
5-3-1 on the season.
"I don't know if it was the altitude or
what," Borgialli said, "but we didn't look
good the whole trip." Bob Orta, NU's
118-poind wrestler who had a 13-2 recod
going into the Colorado meet, "was pinned
by a kid at Colorado who was 0-5 that
I shows you how bad we looked," he added.
On the bright side, the wrestling coach
had special praise for 190-pound John Bell,
who wrestled for the first time for the
Huskers over the weekend and won both his
matches. "He's a tremendous addition to our
team," Borgialli said of Bell, a junior college
transfer from California. "He's going to be
awfully hard for anyone to beat."
Bell's biggest asset is his speed, according
to his coach. "He's the quickest big man
we've ever had."
Borgialli, who is in his eighth season at
UNL, also had praise for two freshmen on
the team 118-pound Gary Harnisch, who
owns a 10-3 season record, and 158-pound
Steve Ravenscroft, whose record stands at
13-8.
"Over the years we've had many seniors
who couldn't win half their matches,"
Bagialli noted. "Now these freshmen
already have good records, which is something
to look forward to."
The field for this week's quadrangular is
very attractive-all the teams are at .500 or
better. Missouri has the best mark at 4-1; its
only loss being to Northwest Missouri,
18-17. Kansas State and Minnesota are both
4-4 on the season.
Borgialli would like to see a large crowd
for the Huskers' first home meet.
"If we had 5,000 screaming students, we
would win our three duals Friday," he said.

Huskers win by one
STILLWATER,OKLA.-"lt's a great win for us," said a
relieved Joe Cipriarto after his Nebraska basketball team
squeaked past pesky Oklahoma State 64-63 Wednesday night
to keep the Big Eight lead. "I knew it was going to be tough."
Center Chuck Jura, playing one of his best games as a
Husker, poured in 34 points and blocked several key shots to
lead Nebraska to its third victory over Oklahoma State this
season.
Despite Jura's scoring barrage, forward Mike Peterson
provided the last-minute heroics. With Nebraska trailing 63-62,
Peterson hit a field goal with 45 seconds remaining in the game
to give the Huskers their final victory margin.
The Cowboy's Terry Dean had a chance to tie the game
when he went to the foul line to shoot one shot with nine
seconds left. But his attempt missed and the Huskers claimed
their fourth straight conference win.
In the early moments of the game it appeared that
Nebraska was going to have an easy night as the Huskers
jumped out to a quick 7-1 lead. However, the Cowboys, with
the aid of excellent foul-shooting and rebounding, came back
and took a 39-33 half-time lead.
However, in the opening minutes of the second half, Jura
put on a one-man basketball show, scoring the Huskers' first
13 points, to close the Cowboy lead. The lead seesawed back
and forth in the second half until Peterson's game winning
shot.
"The lay-off bothered our shooting," Cipriano said of the
11 -day break before the Oklahoma State game. "But I think
our kids came back and did an exceptional job on the boards
in the second half."
I Nebraska has little time to enjoy the victory as they go
against second place Kansas at Lawrence Saturday nignt. J
