Duntz: Fm mot Captains clone
By Wreck Holes
California "Here we come Duntz, Harvard of the
Plains (HOP) head swimming coach, Thursday was named
winner of the 18th annual Captain Kangaroo look-a-like
contest.
It was the 17th straight time Duntz has won the award
since the Captain's twin brother won the tint annual
award in 1962.
Won by Duntz was one free diving board, a backyard
pool and $5 prize money. He has been nominated already
for next year's award.
Baffled by the news, Duntz, shown here at the right
left, said, "It's a tribute to our swim team because now
everybody knows we're coming up. Look out next year."
Duntz, obviously still elated, pointed out his team's
improvement this year.
"We had finished last at HOP for about seven years in
a row. At least nobody drowned in those seven years. This
year we finished fourth. That means next year we'll be
fust and who knows after that," he said.
What Duntz really meant was that no team will finish
within three places of HOP in 1981.
Gals get it in shorts
University Women's athletic director Bay Ravis an
nounced at a bar late Tuesday night that the future
Lady Husker teams would don their senior members in
a new geriatric-styled track short.
The shorts themselves have two layers for added
protection, Ravis said. They also have small packets in
the inseam for that quick burst of nutrition that is so
necessary to get through a meet. They also have a small
cardiovascular resuscitator in the tag in the back for
those upper classmen who are a little weak at heart in
their dedication to sport.
JThe shorts are available in size extra large and they
come in the colors or red, scarlet and red,' Ravis said.
They should be a real asset when I invite the track
team over to my house to try out the new rock 'em
sock 'em robot game I picked up this weekend."

By Kinky W&llgsslut
Modem technique and new equipment was the
hallmark of the day as women's athletic director Dr. Bay
"dynamic' Ravis hosted the first annual frog jumping .
contest at her home Tuesday.
The frogs were owned, trained, groomed, harvested,
tutored, nurtured, supported, taught and dressed by UNL
coach Lorrie Goformore and her core of California quasi
jocks. "We felt those little frogs," she said. "And they
needed a home really bad so we gave them a home and
all we ask in return is a berth in the national tournament.
The next action for Goformore and the hopping toad
like critters will be next Wednesday when they host the
Kearney State crustaceans at the Nebraska School
for the Gill-less' Aquarium, The next local action for am
phibious non-equestrian sport will be Tuesday night when
the Lincoln MoUusks host the UNO Bullfrogs at the
"dynamic" auditorium in the Ravis basement. The first

Assistant coach Jeffe "Green Jeans" Goolcn and diving
coach Jeffe "Mr.. Moose" Hoober were also elated about
the news.
"We can use the prize money to buy more carrots"
Goolen said.
"Hopefully we can make more recruiting trips to
Sweden and play on the beaches,' Hoober added.
The team members were proud of the coaches honor.
Bungs "Bunny Honsson and Goranfather Clock"
Westerly were reportedly excited but unavailable for
comment because they were chomping on carrots at the
time.
Duntz, after winning his 17th free diving board, said
the award was flattering but the rumors must subside.
Duntz said he has been receiving phone calls from
people asking if he is a clone of Captain Kangaroo.
"I really don't think there's any resemblance. Just be
cause my coaches and players have similar names has had
nothing to do with it,' Duntz said. "Besides the Captain is
much older than I and they didn't moan, I mean clone, as
much back in the old days.
Duntz, who has already received a life-time extension
on his contract, said he hopes the team keeps hopping
along and receives some awards too.
