monday, march 1, 1976 pags 10 daily nebraskan uskers drive fo 60-54 comeback oqainsi OSU By Jim Hunt y ' ' UNL's basketball team roared back from a 32-24 half time deficit to take a 60-54 victory over the Oklahoma State University Cowboys (OSU) Saturday before 5,305 fans in the Coliseum and regional television audience. The Huskers scored the first 1 1 points of the second half and took the lead for good when forward Allen Holder scored on a layup with 17:20 left in the game. "I thought they (the Huskers) came back and played with a lot more intensity the second half," said OSU head coach Guy Strong. "We lacked patience and had poor shot selection. v "We missed a lot of close-in shots," he said. "We missed about 10 shots from eight- to 10-feet and you can't win a game missing those kind of shots." Strong also said Husker guard Jerry Fort did a much better job the second half. nebraskan The Huskers jumped to an early 12-5 lead, but OSU fired back behind the shooting of Ronnie Daniel, Olus Holder and Eli Johnson to take the lead at intermission. "We looked a little bit like our uniforms the first half," said Husker head coach Joe Cipriano. The Huskers' home uniforms were ruined last week while being cleaned. Cipriano, jokingly, said they would be able to use the uni forms again only if they get pink pants to go with them. "I thought we came back well the second half," Cipriano said. "We had a tough time adjusting to the dif ferent defenses. We were on number 16 (win) for a long time-I'm just glad we got number 17," Cipriano added. He praised center Larry Cox, who led all scorers, and Steve Willis, who hit some important free throws. Cox, 6 ft. 6 in. senior from Denver, hit eight of 1 1 shots from the field and two of four free throws for 18 points. Willis, 5 ft. 10 in. senior guard from Indianapolis, finished the game with 1 1 points. Three-time All-Big 8 StS t Women cage team geared for tourney The UNL women's basketball team received a final tune-up Saturday morning for regional tournament play with a 56-46 victory over Sportsman of Ankeny, an ama teur team from Des Moines. The Huskers, now 19-7, begin regional play Thursday against St. Cloud of Minnesota at Fargo, N.D. . "1 don't think we played too bad," said Husker head coach George Nicodemus. "We stood around a little too much, though. "We used a press for the first time today (Saturday)," he said. "We might use it in the regionals. The problem is we aren't a tall team, and there is a tendency to pick up a lot of fouls on the press," he added. The Huskers were led in scoring by freshmen Jan Crouch and Darcy Williamson and sophomore Sherry Brink. Crouch, 5 ft. 11 in. center from Lincoln, led the Huskers with 16 points. Brink, 5 ft. 8 in. forward from Lincoln, scored 14 points and Williamson, 5 ft. 8 in. guard from Arapahoe, added 10.

By Scott Jones The climax of UNL's women's gymnastics meet with South Dakota State University (SDSU) came an hour be fore the meet even began Friday at the Women's Physical Education Bldg. SDSU eventually owned UNL, 73.25-63.25. How ever, coach Karen fialke learned an hour before the meet that UNL already had qualified for the regional meet March 1 1 through 13 in Brookings, S.D. Because of a mistaken qualifying standard, UNL gymnasts had assumed prior to the meet that they needed a team score of 85.5 to qualify for the regional meet. But Balke learned from SDSU coach Michael Keough, who is the regional meet director, that an average meet score of 76-not 84 a.s assumed-was necessary to compete as a team at regionals. UNL entered Friday's meet with an average team score of 76.95. "They (the gymnasts) are really thrilled," Balke said. "It's really a treat to be able to go." Balke said the governing board of the Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women decided on the 76 poing standard about two weeks ago, but UNL was not informed. The Huskers seemed to be boyed by the news as they led after the first event (vaulting), but SDSU won the top four places in the uneven parallel bars and placed second, third and fourth on the balance beam to take the lead. Poggy Newport, Lincoln sophomore, and Sandy Czaplewski, Grand Island sophomore, were credited by Balke with their best performance of the year. Newport won the balance beam with a meet-high score of 7.55 and also finished second in the all-around, while Czaplewski won the floor exercise. Vicki Newport, Lincoln freshman, finished second in vaulting with a 7.05 score followed by teammate Mary Scott, an 'Omaha freshman who scored 6.95 for third place. UNL competed without all-aroundcr Kathi Ruddick, Omaha sophomore, and Carol Lundeen, Holdrege junior, while all-arounder Barb Baker, Omaha freshman, competed in only the uneven parallel bars because of a sprained ankle. Ruddick has strained neck muscles and Lundeen dis located her toe, but Balke said both should be ready for regionals.
