Battling to the finish. . . Nebraska players Tom Bryan and Chuck Jura fight Kansas
State's David Hall for a rebound in the Huskers' final game of the season Saturday
night at Manhattan. The Big Eight champions handed Nebraska an 81-76 setback in
overtime to drop the Huskers' season record to 14-12.
Thinclads place fifth in NCAA
Nebraska's indoor track team, undefeated in
dual meet competition this year and winners of
last weekend's Big Eight meet, couldn't
continue their winning style last weekend in the
NCAA meet in Detroit. The Huskers, who had
hopes of possibly winning the NCAA
championships, saw their hopes turn into a fifth
place finish.
"I wasn't particulary pleased with
Nebraska's performance this weekend,"
Nebraska Track Coach Frank Sevigne said. "We
didn't look as sharp as we could have."
The Huskers, whose entries included two
relay teams and four individual runners could
only compile 10 points compared to Southern
California's winning performance of 20 points.
During Friday night's action, Nebraska's
Garth Case was nipped from behind at the
finish by Larence Jones of Northeast Missouri
in the 440 finals. Both Jones and Case were
clocked in identical times of 48.3 seconds.
Saturday night Nebraska picked up another
second place finish in the mile relay. The
Huskers were runners-up to Adelphi University
even though both teams were clocked in a time
of 3:15.8.
The Huskers' final two points came from the
two-mile relay team which finished fourth in a
time of 7:36.1.
'Disappointing'
season ends
by Gary Seacrest
The Nebraska basketball team had just finished its season
on the road with its fourth straight loss--an 81-76 setback in
overtime to Big Eight champion Kansas State. Despite the
close loss, the Nebraska players were joking around in the
locker room, obviously relieved that a long, hard season was
finally over.
The season was over, but some disappointment would
remain.
"I'm disappointed in the season," senior guard Al Nissen
said. "We worked hard, but lost some close ones-that's the
story of our season."
He repeated how the team had worked hard all season and
then said, "Sometimes we got too serious instead of having fun
and enjoying it."
Center Chuck Jura had similar sentiments. "I was
disappointed that we didn't go to a tournament, that we didn't
finish higher and that we lost our last four games," the All-Big
Eight player said. "I think we got tired at the end of the
season."
Despite the slump at the end of the season, Nebraska still
finished with a winning season record of 14-12. The Huskers,
with a 7-7 Big Eight Conference record, finished in a tie with
Kansas for fourth place.
Husker Coach Joe Cipriano reflected on the season Sunday
night at the Nebraska basketball awards banquet, sponsored by
the Lincoln Elks Lodge No. 80. "It has been an unusual year,"
he said. "We had some good nights and some tough nights as
well."
He emphasized how hard the team had worked and
attributed the late season slump to pressure and physical
weariness.
One aspect of the season that pleased Cipriano was the
team's shooting. "We had to use a patterned offense because
we didn't have the good free-lance and one-on-one players," he
said. 'They shot well because they played well together."
Cipriano admitted that the pattern offense was not the
most exciting brand of play, but said it was necessary for the
Huskers to be effective.
The Husker coach had special praise for the four Husker
seniors-Nissen, Jura, Tom Bryan and Mike Peterson. 'They
did an excellent job for us during their three years," he said.
