season
up, down
r
With a 39-8 loss at the hands of Wyoming University, the:
UNL wrestling team ended its dual season last Friday. The
Huskers final dual record was 7-6.
Looking back on this season, the youthful grapplers had
more ups and downs than a roller coaster.
The Huskers started with two losses, then won their next
thre meets. The grapplers then dropped three matches
before defeating Southern Illinois University and Colorado
University on the same day.
According to Coach Orval Borgialli, the win over
national power Southern Illinois, which came after a
disappointing loss to Missouri University, was the high
point of the team's season.
Three more teams fell victim to the Huskers before they
traveled to Wyoming, where they ran into what Borgialli
lory stunkel
51! ffy
called "s buzz saw."
"J ha Inexperience of youth played a large part in tSie
'consistency of this year's team. However, Borgialli said
the squad's mental attitude usually held the key to its
success.
"They had the ability," explained Borgialli. "They
worked together as a team, but when they were
emotionally up, they won. If they were down, they'd lose."
Two of the most consistent wrestlers on this year's unit
were sophomore co-captain Bob Johnson and freshman
heavyweight Bruce Conger. The two posted records of 22-6
and 168, respectively.
One of the biggest surprises this year, according to
Borgialli, was the performance of freshman Ken
Christsnsen, who posted a 10-9 record "It's not very often
a walk-on does this well during his first year," commented
DorcialSL
Borgialli called the season a success. "Last year we
qualified six men for the National Collegiate Athletic
Assoc.' tourney, but failed to have a winning season. This
year, with a tougher dual schedule and a very young team,
we had a winning record."
The Huskers will spend the next week preparing for the
Big 8 tournament, which will be held March 1-2 in Norman,
Okla.

omen's PE awards
By Mary Schsckelton
A "very special person" gave $194,000 to create the Womens
Physical Education (PE) Beyond Requirement Awards; according
to Madge Phillips, women's PE Dept. chairman.
A UP4L alumnus, who wishes to remain anonymous, donated
the money in July 1870 to the Women's PE Dept "to stimulate
enrollment and participation by women student? in physical
education courses," Phillips said.
The donation, which has been invested by the University
Foundation, yields about $8,000 yearly, according to Phillips.
The money is divided into cash awards by the Womens PE
Scholarship Committee and distributed each semester to women
completing PE courses beyond their college requirements,
When the alumnus' daughter was at UNL, she was impressed
by how much she enjoyed her PE courses, Phillips explained. The
donor's wish that more women be able to participate and enjoy
PE prompted his donation, she said.
The agreement with the donor designates that one-half the
money shall be given to women students enrolled in Teachers
College, one-third to students in Arts and Sciences College and
one-sixth to students in the College of Home Economics. Awards
not used by a college during a semester may be transferred to
another.
Any remaining money, the agreement states, may be used for
extracurricular and intramural women's sports sponsored by the
PE Dept., travel to tournaments in which women students
participate and women's athletic symposiums and clinics.
Participation in the awards program has increased, with
students' awareness, Phillips said. Awards were presented to 13
women in 1870, (the first time awards were given), which steadily
rose to 115 in fall 1973.
Awards amount to about $20, Phillips said. Increased
(enrollment caused them to lower them from $25, she added.
Women students learn about the award in PE classes, Phillips
said, as well as from announcements by the PE Dept. in the Daily
Nebraska n. To receive the award, students must file an
application and satisfactorily complete the semester course.
