doilu nfQskini sport J Tigers trounce Husker cagers COLUMBIA, No. -Nebraska's basketball season ended on a sour note Saturday afternoon, as the Comhuskers were defeated by Missouri 86-70 at Hearnes Feldhouse in Columbia. Although the Huskers dropped their 17th game of tho year, they didn't go down without a fight a fist fight, that is. With 16:38 left in the game, sophomore Don Jackson of Nebraska and Missouri ail-American center John Brown, exchanged blows after Jackson scored a turnaround jumper over Brown's outstretched arms. The rjr;ef f;yht brought a quick exit from the game for be t-'i piayers and put a damper on "John Brown Day ". being held to honor the school's all-time leading scorer. Coach Norm Stewart's 12th-ranked Missouri team jumped to a quick 10-0 lead, which accurately forecast the outcome of the game, although Nebraska was able to close the margin to 33-32 late in the first half. After taking a 43-36 halftime lead, the Tigers broke open the game in the second half behind the shotting of reserve Gary Link, who finished with a career high of 21 points, and guards Mike Jeffries and Al Eberhard, who finished with 18 and 17 points respectively. Coach Joe Cipriano's youthful Huskers were led in scoring by freshman guard Ricky Marsh's 22 points, sophomore Kent Reckewey's 12 and freshman Jerry Fort's 10. Headed for its second straight National Invitational Tournament in New York next week, the Tigers used a pressure defense against the young Nebraska team forcing numerous Cornhusker turnovers. Missouri upped its season record to 21-5 and 9-5 in the Big Eight Conference, while the Huskers finished 4-10 in the league, with nine wins overall. The teams combined for 41 turnovers and 40 fouls. The game was the last of the season for Nebraska, and also was the final game as Huskers for seniors Cal Christline from Sterling and Tony Riehl of Louisville, Ky.

Coach Frank Sevigne's Comhuskers, who won the conference crown in Kansas City last week, were tied for eighth by teams from Middle Tennessee, Michigan, Tennessee and Wisconsin Universities. Husker Roger Chadwick gave Nebraska its highest place in the meet, when he finished second in the 880-yard run. Chadwick, who won the Big Eight 880 title a week ago, posted a 1:53 time, second to Ken Schappert of Villanova who had a 1 :50.4. The Huskers next-best finish was a third place in the two-mile relay by Jeff Wisemiller, Larry Climato, Jim Hawkins and Chadwick. They were timed in 7:32.1.

Nebraska finished fifth in the distance medley behind Manhatten, which set a world record in the event. The Manhatten team was timed in 9:43.8 which bettered the mark of 9:44.6 set by Kansas State in 1967. Running for the Huskers in the medley were Larry Gnapp (1 :54.1 half mile), Dan Speck (3:01 .8 three-quarters mile), Lynn Hall (4:07.4 mile) and Steadman Mason (50.3 quarter mile). Held in Cobo Arena, the meet featured winning performances by several men who competed in last summer's Olympic games.

The College of Arts and Sciences, the College of Agriculture, the College of Home Economics and Teachers College will be affected. The College of Business Administration holds its advisory board election at another time. Phil Lamb, president of the Agriculture Advisory Board, said the major purpose for the board is "providing student input into academic decisions at the college level". According to Lamb, activities of this years board include providing student views in debate on LB149, which calls for a separate NU College of Agriculture, extending the hours of operation of the East Campus calculating room and reviewing the curriculum of the College of Agriculture. "The major problem facing the board," said Lamb, "is lack of student imput." Robert Egbert, dean of Teachers College, said he sees the advisory board as having three kinds of roles. "We have asked our board for explicit advice. The board has volunteered advice and, at our request, they have served on special committees such as curriculum and evaluation," he said. According to Egbert, one of the board's problems was communication. "Communication between Teachers College's teachers and students has not been as effective as it could be," he said. Melvin George, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences said he sees the purpose of the advisory board as "advising the dean's office as to problems that students are worried about." Hazel Anthony, dean of the College of Home Economics, said the advisory board is "a great liaison between faculty and students. I am very satisfied wtih this year's board." ATTENTION ! STUDENTS!!!!
