Cp's cagers close season
against NIT-bound Tigers
Senior Tony Riehl . . . closes his Husker
career Saturday night.
Nebraska's basketball squad travels to Columbia,
Mo., tomorrow to end the 1972-73 season against the
Missouri Tigers.
Saturday's game will end the UNL basketball
careers of seniors Cal Christline and Tony Riehl.
Riehl, a 6-4, 180-pound guard, has averaged 6.6
points per game this year.
Riehl from Louisville, Ky. has been a Nebraska
starter the past two seasons, although a ankle injury
hampered his play last year.
Riehl led the 1969-70 freshman team in scoring
with a 20.7 average. Riehl had his career varsity high
against La Salle last season with 16 points.
Christline was all-state in basketball and football at
Sterlinq. He averaqed 2.4 ooints per aame this year
with a game high of 10 in the Kansas upset Feb. 24.
"The leadership that Cal and Tony have given to
our squad this year has been just tremendous,"
basketball coach Joe Cipriano said.
"It wasn't easy for them when we lost Tom
Gregory and Lee Harris, but they really have picked
up the slack and done and outstanding overall job for
us the past three years."
Nebraska closes out the season against a Missouri
team that will play in the National Invitational
Tournament in New York.
Coach Norm Stewart's Tigers, winners of the Big
Eiqht Conference Holiday Tournament, have a 8-5
league record and are 20-5 for the season.
Stewart said he has great respect for the Huskers,
although they have a 4-9 league record and are 9-16
overall.
"Nebraska is certainly a capable ballclub," Stewart
said. "It defeated Kansas three times this season, so
you know it is capable of upsetting anyone."
Nebraska freshman Jerry Fort, the team's leading
scorer with a 14.7 average, can break a scoring record
against the Tigers.
Fort has 368 points, the third highest rookie total
in Nebraska history. Tom Baack set the record with
386 in 1965-66, and Marvin Stewart scored 381
points in 1968-69. Both were sophomores, not
freshmen.
Able to play varsity ball as a freshman because of a
ner NCAA rule. Fort's 14.7 average is the second
best rookie mark in Nebraska history, behind Baack's
15.4
Nebraska has not won at Missouri since an 80-73
victory in 1967. Last year, John Brown scored 33
points and grabbed 15 rebounds as the Tigers
whipped the Huskers, 80-65. The Tigers defeated
Nebraska earlier this year in Lincoln 68-55.
The game will be Nebraska's first in Missouri's new
14,000-seat Hearnes' Multipurpose Building. Tipoff is
at 1:05 p.m.

compete
for NCAA
crown
by Dave Sittler
Fresh from their second straight Big Eight Conference
championship, the Nebraska indoor track team goes after the
NCAA indoor crown today at Cobo Arena in Detroit.
Coach Frank Sevigne will take 16 trackmen to Detroit in an
attempt to capture the national championship that has eluded
his during his 1 7 years at Nebraska.
The usually conservative Sevigne admits that this year's
Husker squad has a good chance to win the cahmpionship if
they can get some breaks.
"It usually only takes around twenty points to win a
national meet," Sevigne said. "And I think we should get some
solid performances in a couple of relays and open events."
Sevigne, whose highest previous finish in the national indoor
was third in 1966, said he expects Manhattan College of New
York, Big Ten Champion Indiana and Southern Cal to be some
of the top teams in the meet.
The Husker coach will be hoping for top individual
performances from three men, Bob Unger, Ron Childs and
Karl Webb.
Childs will be competing in the long jump after placing
second in the Big Eight with an NU record-breaking leap of
25-2.
Webb, who finished second to Steve Pettes in the 60-yard
dash at the Big Eight meet, said he is looking forward to
another crack at the Oklahoma speedster.
"There is nothing I can do about the way the Big Eight race
came out because the judges have decided that," Webb said.
"But I'm getting a second chance in the national, and I'm
going into it confident I can win."
Unger, the Cornhuskers' distance ace, will be running in the
open two-mile run against John Halberstadt of Oklahoma
State, the man who beat him for the Big Eight gold medal.
In the Big Eight two-mile race some felt that Unger may
have won had the officials waved off the slovyer runners who
got in Ungers' way during his stretch run against Halberstadt.
Nebraska could also score well in the hurdle races with
Huskers Gary Gressett and Ralph Fisher. Both placed well in
the Big . Eight, scoring 14 points toward the team
championship.
Although Sevigne has other persons entered in individual
events, he is expected to pull them out of their specialties to
load-up his relay teams.
This means Big Eight champions Roger Chadwick in the
880-yard run and co-captain Jim Hawkins in the 1,000-yard
run, will by nnss a chance for individual national
championships to concentrate on helping the squad's chances
at the title.
Preliminary events will be run this afternoon and evening,
with finals Saturday afternoon.
