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

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.
