Nebraska,
Oklahoma
clash for No. 1
Although Nebraska owns two impressive
victories over Oklahoma this season, Husker
Basketball Coach Joe Cipriano anticipates
his club will have its hands full when they
play the Sooners Monday night at Norman.
"Beating them twice will, be a
disadvantage," Cipriano said. "They'll be
able to try something different this time."
Oklahoma heads into the 7:35 p.m.
contest with a 4-2 record. A victory would
put the Sooners into a tie with Nebraska for
first place in the Big Eight Conference.
"Oklahoma is going to be tough,"
Cipriano noted. "They fast break well at
home. If we can contain Bobby Jack and
Scott Martin we have a good chance of
winning." Jack is averaging 17.4 points per
game in Oklahoma's first five conference
games and Martin is the Sooners' floor
leader.
t The Sooners will be trying to stop Husker
center Chuck Jura, who has 51 points and
two games against
27 rebounds in the
Oklahoma this season.
"They'll probably really sag on him this
time," Cipriano remarked.
Cipriano said the key to staying on top' in
the Big Eight race .is balancing the inside
game with the outside shooting. "We've got
to get better shots. We counted 14 bad shots
when we studied films of the Kansas State
game."

Tom succeeds Bob
OMAHA-Tom Osborne was named Nebraska's 25th head
football coach by the Board of Regents Saturday.
The 34-year-old Osborne will succeed Bob Devaney Jan. 2,
1973. Devaney announced last month he would retire as head
coach after the 1972 season and recommended that Osborne
be his successor.
Devaney will continue as athletic director with tenure from
Jan. 2,1973, to Jan. 1, 1978.
Osborne will move up from assistant head coach and will
retain his academic rank as assistant professor of educational
psychology and measurements. UNL Chancellor James
Zumberge said Osborne's salary will be decided when a formal
contract is drawn.
The Board of Regents also approved Saturday a bid of
$687,500 by the Walter J. Broer Construction Co. of Lincoln
for construction of a 7,500-seat addition to the south end of
Memorial. Stadium. The addition will increase the seating
capacity to 75.000 for the opening of the 1972 football
season.

The question is simple: should varsity athletes be allowed
to participate in intramurals? The answer is difficult.
A controversy arose in men's intramural basketball this
season regarding the participation of football players. Many
students were intimidated by the presence of these
"super-human beings" on the basketball court. Some thought
it was unfair that varsity athletes should be allowed to play
because of their superior physical abilities. Other students said
it really didn't matter.
Ever since Recreation and Intramurals (R & I) became an
independent department last year, its staff has assumed all UNL
students should be allowed to participate in all intramural
sports.
. When the controversy arose about varsity athletes, R&l
decided it was time to formulate a definte policy for all
intramural sports, including participation by varsity athletes.
Phil Sienna, intramural coordinator, said he believes there
are two basic philosophies. Either R&l designs the intramural
programs to meet the needs of all UNL. students or to meet the
needs of only those students who do not participate in varsity
sports.
If one believes in the first philosophy, the problem is easily
solved. The intramural programs will simply continue to
function in the same fashion as they have in the past.
That is to say, varsity athletes will often take the place of
average students on teams because of their superior abilities.
The non-varsity student is left sitting on the bench watching
the well-trained athletes compete. The varsity athlete is
programmed to win and has carried this idea into
intramurals.
But is this the purpose of intramurals to use any means as
a tool to insure victory? Or are intramurals for the students'
enjoyment and exercise-a less intensive type of competition?
If one does not like the present situation, he can associate
himself with the second philosophy. The varsity athlete has his
own sports programs which he doesn't share with the rest of
the students. Why should the non-varsity students share their
intramural programs with the athletes?
There are many different and complex ways to carry out
the second philosophy. Sienna says there are three alternatives
to choose from:
1) R & I could ban varsity athletes from intramural sports
all together. This, however, would be unfair to the athlete and
would be isolating him even more from the rest of the students
as a "jock."
2) R & I could eliminate athletes from participating in team
competition, only allowing them to participate in non-contact
individual sports such as tennis, golf, paddleball and cross
country. This would only be isolating the athletes from team
competition. But there is a better solution.
3) R & I could allow the. athletes to compete in all
intramural sports and simply create a separate open league for
them and anybody else who wants to participate. This plan
would incorporate both philosophies. It would still allow all
students to participate in all intramural sports and would allow
students to compete on levels equal to their abilities.
Sienna says he favors the latter solution but is quick to
note, "I have my beliefs, but I'll do whatever the students
want."
