West injuries . .
Continued from page 12
"One of their forwards drove in and put
up a shot' West explained. "I jumped and
when I came down, my left foot landed on
that guy's foot. I fell down, but I managed
to limp over to the ref and have him stop
the game to get me out."
Although his ankle is almost completely
healed, West said he still needs to strength
en it.
"Right now, I seem to favor it quite a
bit unconsciously," he said. "You don't
want to do that, because if someone bumps
you, you could hurt it worse."
West said the toughest part of the injury
was having to sit out of the Missouri game
Jan. 12.
Family and Friends
"Since the game was also on TV, I miss
ed a chance for my, family and friends to
see me play."
West said he hasn't given up on this sea
son and is looking forward to the Huskers'
rematch with Missouri Feb. 2 at Columbia.
West played his high school ball at Sky.
line High School in Urbana, Mo. where he
averaged 25 points and 12 rebounds a game
and earned all-state honors as a senior.
. He said he received between 20 and 30
scholarship offers from NCAA Division II
and III schools, - but no major college
offers. West said he picked State Fair, a
two-year junior college, because his highx
school coach, Dale Kimberling, got an
assistant coaching job there and because of
the school's connection with Missouri.
"If Missouri wants you, many times
they'll send you there (State Fair) first,"
West said.
The first time Iba saw West play was in
a postseason tournament game last year.
Iba, however, was recruiting another
player.
One of best games
"When we went down to the tourna.
ment, we thought Tim -was going to
Missouri," Iba said. "But I talked to Billy
Barton (State Fair coach) and he said Tim
hadn't made up his mind."
"Luckily, 1 played one of my best"
games ever (in the tournament). West
said. "I had 30 points and IS rebounds, so
I am kind of lucky to be here but I am glad
lam."
West, an agriculture major, said a
separate campus for the ag school, the Bob
Devaney Sports Center and the chance to
play were the main reasons for coming to
UNL.
Iba is glad to have West on the team, he
said.
"He fits into our system very easily,"
Iba said. "He had trouble getting confi
dence when he first came because he didn't
think he was good enough.
Iba said because of his jumping ability,
West plays more like a 6-7 or 6-8 player.
But he said he thought West's strongest
suit was offense.
Scoring capability
"When he's healthy, he's capable of.
scoring 20-25 points a game," Iba said.
Besides basketball and school, West
has. family responsibilities. ' His wife,
Wendy, is employed at the Agriculture
Engineering Building on East Campus.
"Between basketball, school, making
sure I get enough rest, being mentally alert
for practice and spending time with my
wife, there's not much time left," West
said. ' ' '

Students Concerning the
Choice of a Career . . .

ment in a worthwhile undertaking, and the per

career that provides liberal compensation, sup

experience was $33,638. In addition, financing ar
