Huskers
U If I
by Dave Sittler
KANSAS CITY, Mo.-Defending Big Eight indoor
track champion Nebraska won its second straight
conference crown Saturday in dramatic fashion at
Kansas City's Muncipal Auditorium.
Coach Frank Sevigne's Huskers bested runner-up
Kansas, 52-44, but the championship was in doubt
until the final event when Nebraska won the mile
relay.
The Cornhuskers were leading the Jayhawks by a
scant two points going into the final event, when the
Husker's mile relay quartet of Karl Webb, Wes
Leonard, Chuck Malito and Leighton Priestley
insured the victory.
Fremont junior Jeff Wisemiller was a hero of the
hour as he pulled to an unexpected second-place
finish behind teammate Roger Chadwich in the
880-yard run.
Wisemiller's performance came when Nebraska
seemed to be fading from contention for the
championship after Husker runners Larry Climato
and Priestley failed to score high in events they were
predicted to win on the pre-meet charts.
"Coach Sevigne told me that we were in real
trouble and needed every point we could get out of
the 880," Wisemiller said. "So, even though I got
second, that was the most gratifying race of my life.
It put us back in the race for the team
championship."
Wisemiller's effort was only one of the winning
performances by Sevigne's thinclads, who lifted the
victorious coach to their shoulders and gave him a
victory ride around the track when the final results
were announced.

K-State wraps up
Big 8 conference
MANHATTEN, Kan.-Kansas State's basketball
squad wrapped up the Big Eight Conference title
Saturday by defeating Nebraska 97-70 at Ahem
Fieldhouse in Manhatten.
Coach Jack Hartman's Wildcats left little doubt of
the outcome, jumping to an early 15-5 lead. They
stretched the margin to 51-31 at halftime shooting a
hot 58 per cent from the floor before intermission.
Joe Cipriano's Huskers played the Wildcats even
from the field, but lost the game on the foul line.
Kansas State scored only four more field goals
than Nebraska, 34-30, but the Wildcats were able to
convert 29 free throws compared to Nebraska's 10.
"It didn't seem like they missed snything,"
Nebraska guard Ricky Marsh said. "We played a
pretty good game but they were exceptional. When

Hawkins defended his Big tight 1000-yard title. The
slender Hawkins held off a strong field to win in
2:09.5.
One of the tope races was the two-mile run that
featured defending Big Eight champion John
Halberstadt of Oklahoma State and Nebraska's Bob
Unger.
Unger battled Halberstadt the entire race before
fading in the last lap to the Cowboy ace.
"I ran the race just like I planned," Unger said.
"I'm just happy to finish as high as I did and I'm
really looking forward to the outdoor season when
I'll get another shot at John."
Other Huskers scoring for Nebraska, were Webb
who finished second in the 60-yard dash, Ron Childs,
second in the broad jump; and senior Gary Gressett
and junior Ralph Fisher, two-three in the low hurdles
and 3-2 in the highs for 14 points.
Nebraska and Kansas were in different heats of the
relay and after the Huskers won their race it was all
up to the Jayhawks to decide the 1973 Big Eight
Champion.
When Kansas' lead-off runner Tom Scavuzzo fell
far behind in the Jayhawks portion of the mile relay,
the Nebraska team started an early celebration as
victory was evident.
Nebraska Coach Sevigne, swamped by reporters
and well wishers after the meet, said he was surprised
at Kansas' poor showing in the mile relay, but was
elated in his second straight conference indoor
championship.
"I really didn't think Kansas would fare so bad in
that last race and I was scared to death what might
happen," Sevigne said. "But when I saw their first
runner fade, I knew it was over and the championship
was ours."
thev Dlav like that they're awfully tough to beat."
the loss drooped Nebraska's record to 4-8 in the
conference and 9-13 for the season while Kansas
State stands at 11-2 in the league and 21-4 overall.
The win was K-State's 21st consecutivehome victory,
including 13 straiaht Big Eight contests.
Cipriano said he was disappointed in Nebraska's
attempts to work the ball inside on the Wildcats.
"We really didn't shoot very well or get the inside
shot," he said. "But I though we stopped their fast
break pretty well."
Nebraska was able to place four men in double
figures with sophomore Steve Erwin leading the way
with a career hiqh of 13 points. Senior Tony Riehl
scored 12 points, mostly from long-range while
Husker leading scorer Jerry Fort hit 1 1.
Reserve center Brendy Lee came off the bench to
add 10 points. Kansas State's leading scoring was
forward Ernie Kusnyer with 22.
Nebraska travels to Colorado Tuesday night and
will close the season next Saturday afternoon at
Missouri.
