Speed, sweat spell paddleball
By Phil Pfeiffer
NU School of Journalism
State high school coaches say
wrestling is the fastest-growing
indoor sport in Nebraska. They
may be right, but in Lincoln,
according to sport shop
owners, the name of the game
is paddleball-spellcd with a
capital "S" for speed and
sweat.
Paddleball, a game requiring
speed, endurance and quick
reaction, is an excellent
conditioner for many other
sports and continues to rise in
popularity in Lincoln.
Representatives of three
Lincoln sport shops said their
sales of rackets and balls have
more than doubled in the last
two years. The opinion among
those interviewed is that it is
increasingly harder to find
available courts, especially
during the winter.
Paddleball is played in a
room 40 x 20 feet, with a
ceiling 20 feet high. The walls
are white, and the floor is
made of wood. Players use
hollow rubber balls about' the
size of a tennis ball and rackets
similar to tennis rackets,
except the handle is about
seven inches long.
The object of the game is to
return the ball to the front wall
of the room before it bounces
on the floor twice. Failure to
do so constitutes a point for
the server. The first player to
score 21 points wins the game.
If the server i liable to
return the ball before the
second bounce, he forfeits the
serve. However, the ball may
be played off the ceiling and
any number of walls on its
route to and from the front
wall.
Since the ball may travel at
speeds up to 100 miles an hour
depending on the skill of the
players involved, timing,
placement of the ball and one's
position on the court become
key factors.
People play it because it is
easier on the hand than
handball," said Robert
Lngelage, assistant professor of
physical education at the
University of Nebraska
Lincoln. "Paddleball." he said, "will
probalriy remain unrecognized
until there is a paddleball
association formed." He said
that although the sport's
popularity is growing it is
relatively under publicized.
UNL men's intramural
coordinator, Phil Sienna, said
paddleball "will continue to
flourish," because there is
more awareness of physical
fitness now than in recent
years.
"Paddleball is easier to pick
up than handball," Sienna said,
"and paddleball is also a much
better workout."
According to Sienna, 105
singles and 55 doubles teams
were entered in the 1971-72
intramural paddleball
tournament. He said he expects
a significant increase in

Bob Rosenberger, an
employee at Gerry's Sport
Shop Inc., said Gerry's sold
between 1,000 and 1,500
paddleball rackets last year,
about double the number sold
the year before.
He said Gerry's has available
16 models of rackets made of
wood, steel. Fiberglass or
aluminum frames all with
nylon strings.
"Paddleball is the fastest
growing indoor sport in the last
two years," Rosenberge said.
"It has really taken over from
handball."
He said , he thinks it is
popular because people are
accustomed to using some kind
of racket.
Steve Harding,
representative of Kep Harding's
Sport Shop, said Kep Harding's
has sold about 500 rackets and
about 400 dozen paddleballs in
the last nine months, about
triple the year before.
Ken Johnson, store manager
of Lawlor's downtown, said
Lawlors has sold 200 to 350
rackets in the last year, about
double the year before.
Tom Lotko, a junior on
UNL's wrestling team from
Kansas City, Kan., said he
plays paddleball to lose weight
and to get a good workout.
"Paddleball is a lot like
wrestling," Lotko said. "It's an
individual sport, and you can
really come after your
opponent one on one.
"The game can be
extremely maddening because
it is easy to make the same
costly mistake over and over,"
he added.
"It's a fantastic game," said
Mike Grear, a UNL senior from
Omaha majoring in math.
"Paddleball appeals to me
because it quickens my
reflexes, allows for a good
workout, and right now it's the
thing to do.
"It kind of makes you feel
good to hit that thing (the ball)
hard," Grear added. "You can
release a lot of tension by
smashing that little black ball
against the wall."
Grear said he takes the game
seriously, but "losing is not a
matter of life and death -yet."
UNL senior Bob Hoelscher
of Schuyler, also a math major,
said he plays paddleball to let

off steam and release tension.
"I take the game very
seriously, and I can't stand to
lose," said Hoelscher. "It's a
hell of a good game, except it
is getting harder to find an
available court when you want
one."
4-H club
meet set
Practice in state government
processes and a public speaking
contest will be the featured
events of the 56th annual 4-H
Club Week conference which
begins Tuesday at the Nebraska
Center for Continuing
Education.
Some 300 Nebraska 4-H'ers
will participate in what
associate state 4-H leader Ken
Schmidt calls a different
approach to learning about
state government.
Following a talk on
"Youth's Stake in
Government" by Lt. Gov.
Frank Marsh, the delegates will
practice performing the
responsibilities of various state
offices by dividing into
legislative, executive and
j udicial groups to work oi
assigned problems and
situations.
Another feature of the
conference is the Timely Topic
Public Speaking Contest.
Nebraskan personality sketch
- Here's -the man who forms those forms
T rzJ "
V!
By Michael Nelson
NU School of Journalism
Once again at registration time students are puzzling
over applications and worksheets, cursing the man who
designed them. Though the forms are cold and impersonal,
the man who puts them together is not.
.His name is E.H. "El" Moses, and at 65 he is serving his
last year as the University of Nebraska-Lincoln coordinator
of forms.
"My first name is Eldridge but my friends call me 'El',"
he said. "That's okay by me so long as the 'H' is silent."
He first came to the University as a student in the fall of
1928.
"I remember we had an application we called an
'accordian form,' " he said. "It was composed of about
eight perforated three-by-five cards. Every one of the asked
for the same information. When I came back here to work
in '49 they were still using them."
Napoleon once said: "An army marches on its stomach,"
and Moses says he believes a university marches on its
paperwork.
"Few people realize how important forms are. Most just
pass over them," he said.
Copies of every requisition, application and most
questionnaires are filed in his office, but he said he's not
sure how many forms are used in the University.
"In 1961 we asked for a copy of every form anyone was
using. There were 35,000. Of course some of those were
almost exactly the same. For instance, we had 19 types of
time tickets," he said.
Moses said his office is trying to consolidate the
duplication and thereby save money.
Asked if he had any advice for students filling out
pre-registration forms, he said he did: "Please print."
