Abel 5, ATO, Tri-Delts All-sports winners named By Scott Jones Abel 5, Alpha Tau Omega and Delta Delta Delta won the three intramural all-sports titles this year. Abel 5 was champion of the men's residence halls, ATO won the fraternity title and Delta Delta Delta earned the most sorority points. Although point totals aren't tabulated to determine an independent champion, 1641 would be the unofficial champion because of its five championships this year. Despite the perennial weather, problems, first-year intramural director Gale Wiedow said he was pleased with this year's program. "I think it went really well," he said. "This being my first year, I felt we did a pretty good job of keeping things as scheduled." Wiedow said he has sent a survey to all men's residence halls, fraternities and sororities to gauge the interest in each sport and make changes as the response dictates. "I've given them the option of including a sport that they think should be allowed or deleted if they think it's not needed," he said. Although the all-sports titles have been determined, several sports are ending this week. The Bongs won the fast-pitch Softball title for the fourth consecutive year Tuesday. They defeated Stump's' Team. 7-5, in the championship game to remain unbeaten over the four-year period. Chicago Coltrane, which won the men's slow-pitch title the last two years, tested their 33-game victory string Wednesday night in the championship game in that sport. Women's and Co-rec tennis, soccer and Co-rec Softball will end Friday and the Bike rally, rained out last Sunday, will be held this Sunday at 1 p.m. on the East Campus tractor testing track. In events completed recently, Ross VanCamp won the archery competition followed by Mike Ilutchenson. Casey Cohen and Linda Kruger won the Co-rec racketball title and Leon Brechbill and Keith Gredys combined to win the doubles horseshoe pitching crown. streak, faces K TheUNLbaTeball team snapped a four-game losing streak by sweeping Washburn (Kan.) University in a doubleheader Tuesday. The games, played on Nebraska's diamond, raised the team's record to 114. The Huskers won the first game 6-0 and the second 7-6. Boyd Batenhorst and Randy Benish teamed to hurl a two-hitter in the opener. , Batenhorst was credited with the win. He pitched four innings and allowed only one hit. Benish relieved him in the fifth innings and finished the contest, giving up only one hit. Stymied batters Throwing his knuckle-curve ball, Batenhorst stymied 15 Washburn batters, walking none and striking out four. Batenhorst's record stands at 3-0. He holds the lowest earned-run-average on the cornhusker pitching staff-3.42 for 16 appearances previous to Tuesday's game. UNL opened the first game with two runs in the first inning when Norm Glisman singled home Dick Anderson and Gary Healey scored from third on a wild pitch. Glisman tripled in the night cap to start the bottom of the last inning. On the next pitch Fowler singled to left driving in Glisman for the winning run. Kirk Eymann was the winning pitcher. Jon Henne, a freshman catcher, made his first start of the year. 'Fair to good' "Our hitting was fair to good in both games," said head coach Tony Sharpe. Sharpe also said UNL's pitching was good in the first game. The wins rebounded UNL from a winless weekend. They lost a three-game series to Big 8 foe Iowa State. The Huskers are now 5-4 in the Big 8 and in fourth place. "We need to win all six of our remaining conference games to win the Big 8 title," Sharpe said. "We could do it by losing one to K-State but we have to sweep Oklahoma no matter what." The Huskers will face Kansas State in a three game series at home this weekend. 'Hot on bats' K-State has a good pitcher, Andy Replogle, Sharpe said. Replogle, a junior, made the All-Big 8 team his freshman and sophomore year at KSU. "K-State is also hot with the bats," Sharpe said. "We will have our work cut our for us." UNL will start their Friday doubleheader with K-State at 1:30 p.m. Batenhorst will pitch the first game and Benish the second. Saturday's nine-inning contest will begin at 1 1 a.m. The starting pitcher has not yet been named. Sharpe added that Henne will catch and Doak Fowler, who is having trouble with his arm, will be designated hitter. UNL sports club budgets reflect request cuts if ; 0 Photo by Kevin Htgfoy By Chuck Beck New sports club budgets reflected the Fees Allocation Board (FAB) members' attempts to pare down organizational financing by student fees, boaid member Wendell Gauger said. "Recreation and sports clubs were not treated any differently by board members," Gauger said. "Few clubs received the financing they requested." Gauger said after board members made an initial recommendation of $300,000, they still had to lower their total recommendation to about $200,000. Those clubs that came closest to receiving their original requests were the Judo Club, the Soccer Club and the Water Polo Club. Recommendations FAB recommendations for the clubs were as follows; Judo Club, $150, requested $175; Soccer Club, $385, requested $575; Water Polo Club, $125, requested $300. Hie Rifle Club ($14,961) and Weightlifting Club ($2,216) asked for the largest amounts of money. The two clubs received recommendations of $400 and $415 respectively. Ken Bader, vice chancellor for student affairs, will submit a final budget request to the regents at their May meeting. Although sports clubs did not receive separate treatment in FAB discussions, some questions were raised as to how the clubs should be financed, Gauger said. "Most sports clubs seem to involve smaller groups of people," Gauger said. "We bad to deal with a whole area that didn't touch as many people." Gauger also said that some FAB members had questions about alternative methods of financing these clubs. Main criterion .There is one main criterion that the board has set in determining how fees are to be allocated. Fees are to be used "to enhance significant out-of-classroom cultural, social, educational and recreational opportunities which improve student life at UNL." "FAB member Gary Martin said athletic clubs which corrpete with other institutions seem to daily nebraskan come to the board because these clubs "cannot find any other means of financing. "Generally they (sports clubs) are in a kind of limbo," Martin said. "These clubs compete with other universities, but they're not recognized by the Athletic Department as participants in intercollegiate sports." The Athletic Department mostly finances those sports recognized as intercollegiate sports by the Big Eight Conference, Athletic Director Bob Devaney said. "No point" "There is no point in adding a sport which the Big 8 (conference) does not compete in," Devaney said "because these are the sports students can't easily watch. We try to recognize only those sports in which a great deal of students participate or watch." Devaney also said that the Athletic Department currently could not financially support all sports clubs which compete with other schools. "If you take one sport and recognize it," he evnlainpid, "thre is nofhina to keen these other clubs from asking for recognition, too." In addition, sports club budget requests do not indicate the amounts which clubs asked for travel expenses. He said FAB members decided this year that travel expenses for athletic clubs should not be financed with student fees. The following table indicates this year's sports club budget requests and FAB recommendations. The 1974-75 recorrmendations arc also listed.
