Sooners prove too strong
for Husker baseball team
By Dennis Onncn
' UNL put up a stiff battle, but two time
defending Big 8 champion Oklahoma University
(OU) proved too strong, and the Sooners swept
the 3-game series with the Huskers Friday and
Saturday. The scores on the UNL diamond
we.e 3-1 and 4-3 in the Friday doubleheader,
and 8-3 Saturday.
Husker Coach Tony Sharpe was displeased
with what he called a lack of consistency by his
team. He was particularly disappointed with the
Saturday game.
"I wasn't very pleased with anything today,"
he said after the loss. "We gave them about four
runs."
In Saturday's game, the Sooners nursed a 2-1
lead before scoring two runs in both the fifth
and seventh innings to break the game open.
The Huskers staged a mild comeback with two
runs in the eighth before Sooner Kelly Snider's
2-run double in the ninth iced the game for the
Sooners.
Husker runs were scored on a triple by Gary
Healey and singles by Bill Jadiowski and Ron
Miltenberger.
The first game Friday was a pitching duel
between Husker Denny O'Doherty and Sooner
Bob Shirley. Kenny King, last year's Big 8
batting champion, drove In the first Sooner run
with a single in the fourth inning. Husker
designated hitter Doak Fowler tied the game in
the fifth with a home run to right center field.
The score remained tied throughout
regulation play, but the Sooners finally got to
O'Doherty for the win with two runs in the
eighth inning. Shirley held the Huskers to only
two hits.
In the second game, FowSer smashed a
3-homer to give the Huskers a 3-1 lead in the
bottom of the second inning. OU then fought
back with single runs in the next three innings
to take the lead for good.
In the fifth inning, Sooner third -baseman
Mike Umfleet hit a high fly ball to left field,
which Husker Dick Anderson appeared to be
settling under. However, the ball fell behind
him for a triple. Bryant Akisada mishandled the
relay throw, allowing Umfleet to scamper home
with the winning run.
The Sooners raised their record to 23-2 and
6-0 in the Big 8. The Huskers' mark dropped to
2-14 and 0-6 in conference ptqy.

Carpenter's views criticized
on basketball team's success
Last week, State Sen. Terry Carpenter let a
few verbal arrows fly at the UNL basketball
program.
Carpenter seemed baffled that UNL had not
produced a national basketball power in recent
years. He made building a winning basketball
program sound as easy as ordering a pizza from
Valentino's.
The target of this hasty appraisal appeared
to be basektball Coach Joe Cipriano.
Carpenter's ominous grumblings in the Omaha
World Herald suggested that a new head coach
would be just the shot in the arm needed to
establish a basketball dynasty.
More likely it would be a shot in the head.
Cipriano has coached at UNL for 11 years.
He has had to put up with a home playing
facility the Boston Celtics would be afraid to
play in. He also has had to contend with fans
spoiled by the succass of the football team!
Next year, the Huskers will have the materia!
to make a serious run at the Big 8 title. The
year after that they move into the new
Fieldhouse and no longer will possible recruits
be repulsed by the idea of playing in an
oversized barn.
So it's possible a basketball dynasty is under
construction and it would be senseless for the
architect to be removed now.
When the NCCA decided to eliminate the
mid-November date when football bowl
invitations can be issued, it meant that a school
could accept a post-season bid any time of the
year.
If a bowl scout happens to visit Lincoln
now, the Husker football team might have an
invitation before the end of spring practice.
Visitors to the first scrimmage Saturday
witnessed a encouraging blend of speed and
power distributed among the first two units.
Fans will get a lot of chances to see the
Huskers in action this fall. UNL plays seven
home games this season, including the
showdown with the University of Oklahoma.

The second "Fight of the Century" in this
decade will be the George Foreman
Muhammad Ali match in September.
The biggest attraction of the fight will be the
knowledge that something has to give. Foreman
has battered every opponent into senselessness,
while Ali very rarely is hit in the face.
The fight will be in Africa, where .All has
vowed that Howard Cosell will be cooked and
eaten by Ali's warrior friends.
