Huskers sign 1 5
Nebraska loss scrambles race
The official football recruiting campaign opened Tuesday
and by late afternoon Nebraska had signed 15 players,
Including 12 from Nebraska, to Big Eight Conference letters of
intent to attend UNL.
Among those signing were Fairbury's Tom Siegel, who has
been contacted by about 80 schools because of his football
and basketball talents. Siegel, a 6-3, 210-pound back, was a
Class B all-state selection, but was chiefly recognized for his
pass catching ability.
Other "most wanted" Nebraska high school players signed
by the Huskers include:
-Bob Martin, a 6-1, 188-pound halfback from David City.
Martin has been contacted by 40 schools.
Rick Bonness, 6-4, 197-pound center-tackle from
Bellevue, who has been contacted by 25 schools.
-Randy Benish, 6-1, 175- pound quarterback from Norfolk,
who has been contacted by 21 schools.
-Jim Sledge, 6-1, 224-pound tackle from Omaha Creighton
Prep, who has been contacted by 25 schools.
The Big Eight letter of intent is the first step in the college
recruiting process. The Big Eight letter only commits a player
to a particular school within the conference. A more restrictive
national letter of intent, a joint venture of most major
conferences, can be signed April 19.
Other top Nebraska athletes signed include: Bill Armstrong,
6-1, 205-pound class A all-state linebacker from Beatrice; Joe
Dervin, 6-0, 195-pound linebacker from Omaha Creighton
Prep; Steve Hoins, 6-3, 210-pound guard-tackle from Bellevue;
Wayne Stuberg, 6-2, 195-pound center-guard from Omaha
North; Dan Brock, 6-3, 195-pound tackle from Columbus
Scotus; Tom Heiser, 5-10, 172-pound halfback from Columbus
High; and Robert Lingenfelter, 6-7, 270-pound tackle from
Plainview.
"Jim Ross and Cletus Fischer have done a good job in the
state," Tom Osborne, assistant head coach, said. "With one or (
two exceptions, if a Nebraska athlete signs the Big Eight letter
with us he'll come here." J

Balance is the name of the
game in the Big Eight
basketball race.
Nebraska, Oklahoma and
Missouri are in a three-way tie
for first placed with 5-2 records
and Kansas State is right
behind the three teams with a
4-2 record.
Nebraska lost sole
possession of first place
Monday night at Norman when
numerous Husker turnovers
against Oklahoma's full-court
zone press produced a 72-70
Sooner victory.
Missouri appears to be the
strongest title contender after
defeating Iowa State 77-72 at
Ames Monday night. Missouri,
a 78-77 victim of Oklahoma at
Norman earlier in the season,
now has won three games on
the road (Oklahoma State,
Colorado and Iowa State)
while no other team has won
more than one. However, both
Nebraska and Oklahoma have a
chance to match the Tigers
roafl record.
Nebraska's poor
performance against the zone
press forced the Huskers into a
desperate catch-up game which
almost succeeded. Al Nissen's
shot from close-in just before
the final gun failed to drop.
"I was disappointed that we
didn't handle the press better,"
Husker Coach Joe Cipriano
said of his team's turnovers.
"We lost our poise."
It appeared that the Huskers
were in big trouble when
All-American candidate Chuck
Jura fouled out with 9:50
remaining and Nebraska
leading 51-50. But the Huskers
held on and led 57-52 on Tom
Bryan's tip-in with 6:00
remaining.
But in the next four
minutes the Sooners outscored
Nebraska 13-3 with the help of
their full-court press and led
65-60.
Nebraska battled back and
almost pulled off the
impossible. Trailing 72-68, Lee
Harris hit a basket from the
corner with three seconds to
cut the Sooners lead to two.
Harris then immediately stole
the in-bounds pass and flipped
to Nissen, But Nissen's
hurry-up shot failed and the
Huskers had their second
straight road loss of two points.
"I'm dissappointed that we
didn't move the ball batter,"
Cipriano remarked. "If we
don't get the inside shot we're
hurting."
