Riggs hopes to deal the crushing blow in ivs ut"'t h

An opportunity to !!-
varsity as a freshman, an ;
possibly to start, leau Plm
Chambers to chose tit
University of Nebraska Lincoln
for his college basketball
career.
Chambers, a 6 ft. 0
Denver native, said whethei Re
starts this season dauera.i,
entirely on himself. "If I can
prove worthy of suiting m
practices, Coach (Joe) Cipnano
will give me a shot at staitan) a
game," he said.
Basketball piactice doesn't
begin until Oct. 1b, but
Chambers said squad -v.-mb i:
have been running about Pv..
miles a day on thee own.
"When practices begin, we
hope this running will allow us
to accomplish moic," he said.
During the summai
Chambers attempted to
familiarize himself with the
guard position. "I h.id ncvo
played anything but foiw,.M.I in
high school, but Coaeh
Cipriano told me lie plans
swinging me between ioia,.;,d
and guard this year," be -ed
In noting the ddieu-na
between high school and
college basketball, Chamber,
said: "Before you could play m
a happy-go-lucky mannei. Now
ii i i -
uch ridinq (on the
outcome), you can't afford
that type of attitude."
This year, the team's
lengths should be its speed
and outside shooting ability, he
said. Many players lack college
expet ience and this appears to
be the team's major weakness,
be added.
