Nebraska's basketball team scored 109
points Tuesday night in the Coliseum, but as
junior forward Fred Coker said, "it was a lot of
offense and no defense."
Realistically, the 109 points was a combined
total as the Whites defeated the Reds 56-53 in
Nebraska's annual Red-White intrasquad game.
Coker, who had 16 points and six rebounds
for th2 Reds, said we have a lot of work to do
on defense, but our offense if working out
fairly well.
"Our main problem is getting on the boards
and being more aggressive," he said. "But when
we become super aggressive we are going to
beat some good teams."
Head Basketball Coach Joe Cipriano said he
was concerned with the outcome of the game
because there were quite a few mistakes. "But
you almost have to expect that because we put
more pressure on the ball than the Yugoslavs
did."
"Defensively inside we were fairly weak,"
Cipriano said. "But for freshmen (Mark)
Enright and (Ror) Taylor did a good qb on the
boards for us " Ennght had 11 rebounds for the
Whites ar.J Taylot had 12 rebounds for the
Reds.
Leading secret s for the Whites were
sophomore guatd Ricky Marsh with 16 points,
freshman center Enright with 10 points and
fitshman forward Rickey Hairis with 7 points
and 1 1 rebound1:.
Leading scorers for the Reds were Taylor
with 18 points, and junior guard Kent
Reckewey with six point?.
Cipriano said that Nebraska is ready to play
Wyoming, their opponent Saturday in Lincoln
at 7:35 p.m., but thai he'd like to know more
of Wyoming's game plan.
"We haven't operated against a zone in a
game situation yet," hu said. "And I understand
thev have some lo jgh guards also."
Cipriano said the results of the intrasquad
game should help decide in a day or two who
his starting lineup will be against Wyoming.

Energy
problems
to affect
athetics
In years past if a pet son had nothing
to do on a summer afternoon, he aivvays
could find entertainment at the baseball
park. In recent seasons, howevei, rnc
emergence of the electronic age has led to
the scheduling of neatly two-thiids of the
major league baseball games at night,
under the lights.
If the current energy crisis continues,
baseball may be forced to revert to the
daytime sport it was meant to be.
The air travel of all professional and
college sports teams and even the
curtailment of the sports
themselves-such ;.is auto racing are
expected to be further affected by
President Nixon's plea to conserve
energy.
The airline industry has instituted a
10 per cent cutback in flights The
airlines, however, give teams and groups
first consideration when a flight is
canceled, and their reservations Ivive to
be switched to another flight.
The Big 10 already is looking into the
possibility of using chartered buses in the
future. A study has shown that all Big 10
schools are adjacent to the super highway
systems we have in the Midwest.

over the hi
A United Air Lines spokesman, the
airline flying Nebraska's football team to
Dallas for the Cotton Bowl, informed Bill
Fisher, UNL Athletic Dept. business
manager, of their policy to fly all
bowl-bound football teams to their
destination, but not school bands.
Only the Husker txisketboll and
football teams use extensive air travel and
at the present time foresee no alterations
in transportation, accoiding to Fishei.
Auto racing, which completed its
1973 season last weekend, already has
taken steps to reduce the amount of fuel
for each car on the United States Auto
Club's Indianapolis-car circuit nexl ye;)-
The National Assoc. for Stock Car
Auto Racing has begun a study to curtail
its 194 scheduled racing contests in the
interest of fuel conservation.
As far as the Indianapolis b00 is
concerned, it isn't the 28 gallons o( fuel
consumed by each contestant t.l..it
worries me, but the amount of furl
burned by the 300,000 fans going to the
race and back home again.
Auto racing and all other profession,)!
spectator sports are going to have to wot k
out su i table public ffanTportation to get
people to the stadiums should gas
rationing become necessaty.
Clearly spoits will feci the pinch of
the energy crisis
