It all started with a want ad
in the Daily Nebraskan,
Zandbergen said. "About 70
guys showed up at that first
meeting to express an interest
in a rowing team," he said.
After tryouts, the group was
cut to about 40. The crew
currently has a 30-man squad.

The rowing team has been
plagued with problems: lack of
funds, no official standing as a
University athletic event, little
public support and the need
for a coach for the coming
season. But the crew hasn't lost
heart.

The son of the U.S.
Olympic basketball coach has
little sympathy for his dad's
critics.
"Most of the people who
complain are the ones who
don't make the team," said
Henry "Moe" Iba Jr., assistant
basketball coach at the
University of Nebraska-Lincoln
(UNL).
Iba was referring to players
who recently have criticized
the way Iba's father, Henry,
handled the Olympic
basketball try-outs. One of the
players, Kermit Washington of
American University, blasted
Iba publicly for imposing harsh
restrictions on the players,

according to William Gildea of
the Washington Post.
In a column appearing June
26 in the Omaha World-Herald,
Gildea said that all players
were awakened daily at 7 a.m.
and that some were ordered to
the barbershop. He also said
the players were not allowed to
leave the training camp at the
Air Force cadcmy in
Colorado and were forbidden
to gather in their rooms in
groups larger than three.
Although he said he had not
talked to his father since
Gildea's article appeared,
UNL's Iba tried to explain his
father's position.
He said his father's job was
to pick the 12 best basketball

the United States at the

A rowing team starts with a
$4,000 boat called a shell,
designed for four or eight
oarsmen. Zandbergen said
shells are handmade from thin
redwood and cedar. Oarsmen

with precision strokes
according to commands called
out by the coxswain. The
Olympic games. He added that
the job had been made more
difficult because several good,
young players had become
professionals, and others, like
UCLA's Bill Walton, did not
want to risk injury.
Most of the players invited
to participate were relatively
unknown youngsters, Iba said.
With only two week to select
the team, his father couldn't
allow the ballplayers to run off
to nearby Colorado Springs for
the night, Iba said, so they
were given curfew hours and
told to remain at the Academy.
Iba said that under those
circumstances he did not think
his father's rules were too
harsh. Discipline and team
unity are essential, he said,

were anxious to help us get

"But they were amazed that

squad. Players who could not
take discipline usually were the
ones who would not sacrifice
for the team, he said.
"It's unfortunate, but most
people believe whatever they
read," Iba said, referring to
Gildea's criticism.
Acknowledging that some
people would believe Gildea,
Iba said his father would be
supported by those who knew
of the Olympic coach's
basketball achievements.

"Do you like to live? asks
Phil Sienna, University
intramurals coordinator.
"Well, that's why exercise is
important."
And that's why the
Department of Recreation and
Intramurals is starting a
Century Club this fall for
University faculty, staff and
students who run, swim or
bicycle for physical fitness.
"You can't get in shape
without working at it," Sienna
said, "But we're trying to make
it as enjoyable as possible."
Participants who register, in
advance will be awarded a
Century Club T-Shirt when
they record 100 miles of
running, swimming or
bicycling. A pen set will be the
award for 300 miles of
running, swimming or
bicycling. Persons who record
500 miles of running,
swimming or bicycling will
receive a certificate of
achievement.
Members who run, swim or
bicycle 500 miles in a year will
be named to the Centruy Club
honor roll. Those who run,
swim or bicycle 1 ,000 miles in
a year will appear on the club
dean's list.
Distances will be recorded
on mileage cards at the
Coliseum Cage, the men's and
beaten some highly respected
teams, you just don't go back
and ask for help in getting
equipment, for example."
Several of "the Nebraska
oarsmen were invited to
Olympic development training
camps. 'That's really a great
honor for such a young team,"
Zandbergen said.
"Competitively, I think we
surprised even ourselves," he
said. The varsity four was
invited to attend the New
England Championships, an
international competition held
in Massachusetts at the end of
July. But the crew won't be
able to attend, "because our
four with coxswain shell is in
non-raceable condition,"
Zandbergen said.
The crew is spending the
summer training for the Head
of the Charles Regatta,
scheduled for Oct. 22 in
Boston.
"It's one of the biggest
regattas in North America,"

Sienna said that the exercise
can be done anywhere, but
distances must be accurate.
Time will not be considered
only distance will be measured.
Sienna said the informal
Century Club competition is
designed to offer a goal to
people who already work out
and to stimulate others to
begin an exercise program.
In addition to the Century
Club, Sienna's other plans for
new intramural programs
include:' innertube water pole;
water basketball; punt, pass
and kick football skills; pitch,
hit and throw baseball skills.
Sienna said he also hopes to
start an exercise club and
schedule int r am ural
competition for Saturday
mornings before football
games. A water festival at
Holmes Lake will be planned
for spring.
"We're trying to develop
two separate kinds of
intramurals," he said. "One for
people who really like the
competitive aspect of sports
and another kind, mostly
novelties, for people who
participate just for fun."
Zandbergen said. "Last year
there were about 80 teams and
more than 3,000 oarsmen at
the race on the Charles River."
"In a way we're kind of
crazy to train three months for
a six-minute race," he said.
"But we have a lot of fun
doing it. It's the kind of spon
where you have to put out
everything you have both
physically and mentally.
"Timing and balance are the
keys, so this really is a team
sport. One weak link and the
whole thing falls apart.
"But I think there really is a
place for this type of sport,"
he said. "Everybody's got a
chance to succeed. We all
started out knowing hardly
anything."
But that was two years ago.
Zandbergen said he expects a
very successful season this
year, "going against the big
ones" in the Ivy League.
