Cage hopes brighten
Nebraska's downtrodden basketball team made a valiant
attempt to put some of the pieces back together before falling
to league-leading Colorado 67-59.
Although the Huskers record dropped to 1-5 in the Big
Eight and 6-12 for the season, the game provided some hope
that better days may be ahead for Coach Joe Cipriano's squad.
Inspired play from freshman Jerry Fort and sophomore
Steve Erwin against the Buffaloes, gave every indication that
Cipriano's youth movement may pay large dividends in the
future.

Fort led the Cornhusker scoring with 24 points
displayed a senior's poise with his steady all-around play.
Erwin drew his first starting assignment against Colorado
much to the pleasure of the 4,300 fans who gave his a rousing
ovation during the pre-game introductions.
Erwin, a Laurel, Neb., native, responded by scoring six
points and grabbing five rebounds during the game.
Cipriano said he was so impressed by Erwin's steady play

Another reason to think the basketball program may be
headed for brighter days is word that assistant coach Lonnie
Porter has been on the recruiting trail with some signs of
success.
Porter, who is in his first vear at Nebraska ha hppn
spanning the country in search for basketball talent. His
biqgest recruiting weapon is the new field house which might
lure some players to Nebraska.
Cipriano has said there are some olavers in Nphracka hinh

program.
Rick Seidel from Sidney and Bob Siege! from Fairbury
seem to be the highest Nebraska products on Cipriano's list.
The Husker coach said both players could very easily become
starters as freshmen.
While Cipriano has been under attack during this year's
dismal campaign, some other coaches have come to his
defense.
Creighton University basketball coach Eddie Sutton has
said he thinks that with the talent Cipriano has on hand, the
Husker mentor is turning in one of the best cnarhino inhc rt

the year.
Sox Walseth, the veteran Colorado coach, said Monday that
Cipriano is undoubtedly one of the finest young coaches in
America.
If he can get a few Siegels and Seidels and that new
fieldhouse, "slippery Joe" may prove Sox right and a lot of
Monday morning critics wrong.
Several people have asked if junior Lee Harris has decided
to make this his last season with the Nebraska basketball team.
The question arose when Harris was presented a watch by
the Big Eight conference along with the Nebraska seniors
before a recently televised Husker game.
Harris says the answer is yes. The leading Husker scorer was
red-shirted his freshman year, thus he is actually a senior
academically.
"Since I can graduate, I think it's time to move on and
fulfill a desire to attend law school," Harris said. J
UNL Robin Hoods band
into campus archery club
by Andy Riggs
The archers line up and fire. Some of the
targets are clustered with arrows. Other
arrows are scattered on the floor. No, this
isn't Sherwood Forest but the University
Archery Club.
The modern day Robin Hoods are at their
usual, Wednesday night practice. During the
two-hour practice they recieve instruction
from some of the best archers in the
Midwest.
"We have top-notch instructors, here
every meeting," said Coach Allen Maybee.
"We have one woman and three men
instructors to help the students learn to
shoot."
The archery .club started during the
middle of last semester when several
students indicated to Maybee the need for
the club.
"The club was started to teach and
develop a lifetime skill for the students
here," he said, "but later we decided to open
it up to everyone. Now we have people here
from six to 60."
Maybee's goal is to show people the
basics of archery and to involve the
participants in tournament shooting,
recreation shooting and eventually
bowhunting on a range.
"Most of the people in the class want to
improve themselves so they can try
bowhunting," Maybee added.
Darlene Wells and her husband Larry,
instructors for the club, are among the top
archers in the Midwest. Darlene holds almost
every tournament medal in the Midwest. She
has won many state and regional titles for
tournament shooting. Her husband has
contests with her during the club meetings
to see who can hit the bullseye more times.
Richard Voges is another of the club's
instructors.
"Richard has been a real asset to the
club," Maybee said. "Winning several state
championships has given him plenty of
experience. All of our instructors have
tournament titles under their belts."
Most equipment is provided by the club.
Bows, arrows, armguards and strings are
ready when they walk in. There is no cost
for the club.
Consultation is provided if a club member
wants to purchase his won equipment. Some
of the equipment that students have bought
is worth up to $300, according to Maybee.
"Archery Club is open to both sexes too.
During the club meetings very few girls show
up but they are welcome to come just as
boys do," Maybee said. "We have had some
good women archers in the program and I
would like to see more attend.
"Even if the archers have had no
experience, we would like them to stop in
and see if they would like to continue in this
sport." The club meets every from 8 until 10
p.m. Wednesday at the Womens P.E. north
gym.
Maybee also added that there is a
tournament planned for this spring which
would be an invitational open to other
colleges and universities.
