Husker Coach Joe Cipriano, his 15-man roster including seven freshmen this past season, was confronted with many of the problems exclusively directed to freshmen coaches in the past. This season marks the second year of NCAA policy changes which allow freshmen to compete on varsity athletic teams. "Over tha years, tha freshman programs have stressed learning and defense white tha varsity programs have stressed getting ready for games," Cipriano said. bob hi "This year's squad spent much more time on fundamentals than in past years," he said. "We tried to emphsize team play and consistency." Had this same crop of freshmen come to UNL in the old days of freshmen teams, the Midlands probably would. have been impressed with the record they might have produced against other freshmen. However, because of the difference In competition, some of the athletes may not have appeared, on the surface, to have made much progress this season. Freshmen on the Husker varsity roster this year included Ricky Harris, Bob Siegel, Mark Enright, Gary Fitzsimmons, Rick Siedel and Phil Chambers. These freshmen played a significant role In UN L'l elevation to the Big 8 first divisioa Excluding All-Conference mention Jerry Fort, Siegel with 28 points against Iowa State University had tha best single game point production. Siegel recorded UNL's best single game field goal percentage of 85 (12-14)). On six separate occasions through the season, a freshman was the Huskers leading scorer. On nine instances a freshman either led or shared the lead in UNL's rebounding charts. Cipriano and his staff seem to have done an adequate job of introducing collegiate ball to their freshmen. Cager title to 69ers The Recreation Dept. has released the final rankings for the four major intramural basketball divisions. The GOers won the All-University title by nipping the Bongs, 43-42, in an overtime thriller.
