Husker gymnasts lose battle in ISU dual meet
By Kim Hachiya
AMLS, Iowa Nervousness, inexperience
and inadequate preparation were three
excuses offered by members of the
Nebraska men's gymnastics team for Sat
urday's 280 .85-277-35 loss to Iowa State.
Undoubtedly, a big factor was the ab
sence of Husker standouts Jim Hartung and
Steve I'lliott who were competing in other
meets.
"Hut excuses are excuses," said senior
Chuck Chmelka, "We just didn't hit as well
as we could have."
"I think when we get back in our gym
with Jim Hartung and Steve Elliott, we're
going to blow Iowa State away," he added.
Phil Cahoy, who battled until the final
event to win all-around honors with a score
of 57.05, said that this was Nebraska's first
dual, compared to six for Iowa State so far
this season, and the Huskers were extreme
ly nervous. Cahoy said the meet was diffi
cult, especially for freshman Jim Mikus
who was competing in his first collegiate
meet .
"I know how nervous I was at my first
meet," Cahoy said. "We were just as ner
vous today and we'll need a couple of
Free throws become key
to Husker win over KU

Nebraska's 57-54 victory against Kansas
Saturday gave Kansas Coach Ted Owens
and Kansas an 0-5 record in the Sports
Center.
"We never had control of the game,"
Owens said. "In the first half we had no
poise on offense and couldn't hit free
throws."
Free throws turned out to be the decid
ing factor in the game. With 16 seconds to
play and Nebraska clinging to a 55-54 lead,
a Kansas foul put Ray Collins on the line
for a one-and-one. He sank both shots, giv
ing the Huskers the final three-point mar
gin of victory.
"Ray Collins' free throws were very
important," Nebraska Coach Moe Iba said
after the game. "We played very well in
the first half, but we got tentative in the
second half and committed a lot of turn
overs." Kansas jumped out to an early 4-0 lead
on two baskets by 6-9, 250-pound Victor
Mitchell. But the Huskers countered with
eight unanswered points and never trailed
for the remainder of the half, taking a 31
23 lead into the locker room.
Kansas battled back in the second half,
with guards Tony Guy and Darnell Valen
tine taking much of the credit.
The Huskers lost the lead briefly in the
second half at 4241 and again at 4443,
but a jumper from the left corner by Mike
Naderer put the Huskers in the lead to stay
at 4544 with ten minutes to play in the
game.
"When we got our backs to the wall, we
came back and played again," Iba said.
The game remained close from that
point on. A steal and a layup by Valentine
cut the Husker lead to one at 51-50, but
the Jayhawks could get no closer. Valen
tine finished the game with six steals.
The final minute of the game provided
a dramatic finish for the 7,821 people in
attendance and the regional television aud
ience. Art Housry, who tied with Valen
tine as high scorer for Kansas with 13
points, scored on a tip-in to make the score
55-54 in Nebraska's favor. Andre Smith,
who took game scoring honors with 15
points, was then called for palming the
ball, giving Kansas a chance to take the
lead with 44 seconds to play.
Kansas squandered the opportunity
when Booty Neal traveled, giving the Hus
kers the ball. The Jayhawkers were forced
to foul, which put Collins on the line for
the free throws that iced the game.
The victory gives Nebraska a 10-8 rec
ord for the season and a 4-2 mark in the
conference, while Kansas falls to 144 and
4-2.
Men's track team claims
home triangular victory
By Bob Asmussen
Thr Nebraska Men's track team started
off the season with a triangular victory
against Kansas State and Southern Illinois.
The triangular event was one of three
meets Saturday at the Bob Devaney Sports
Center.
Team scores in the men's events had Ne
braska with 57 points, Kansas State with
51 and Southern Illinois with 50.
The meet was undecided until the last
event-the triple jump. Nebraska placed
second and third in that event.
Nebraska could have clinched the vict
ory earlier by winning the mile relay, but
Mike Cielocha was unable to finish because
of a pulled muscle.
"Mike pulled up with a bad cramp,"
Nebraska Coach Frank Sevigne said. "It's
not really serious, but it may be just bad
enough to keep him out of next week's
dual with Kansas," Sevigne said.
The surprise of the meet has to be the
performance of Southern Illinois. The
Salukis have no indoor track building, but
they nearly pulled out a victory.
"We just worked outside in the snow
or whatever " Southern Illinois Coach Lew
Hartsong said. "I'm very pleased we per
formed this well, I'm especially pleased
with the performance of David Lee. Lee
is the greatest athlete I've ever had and
I've had five world record holders."
Lee was the meet's only double winner
taking the 60 meter high hurdles in 7.41
and winning the long jump with a leap
of 25.2. The jump qualified him for the
National Collegiate Athletic Association
Championships. Also qualifying for the
NCAA meet was Vince Parrette of Kansas
State. He won the triple jump with a
leap of 5 2 -2 '4.
Nebraska shot-put competitor Joe
Staub broke the school record in his spec
ialty with a heave of 59-6!4. The throw
placed him second to Ray Bradley of Kan
sas State who tossed the shot 60-8 '4 .

meets to work the kinks out."
Hartung absence key
Cahoy said Hartung's absence was pro
bably the biggest factor in the outcome.
"We knew we were going to be in
trouble without him. He has a lot of spirit
and drives the team," Cahoy said.
Husker Coach Francis Allen was notice
ably disappointed after the meet.
"We got beat pretty hanuily," Allen
said. "They knew we were short; we just
didn't hit."
Allen said last week's preparation was
slowed by an ankle injury to Hartung and
the illness of Cahoy and sophomore all -aroundcr
Scott Johnson.
"Wc needed five to 10 days of good
solid routines before a big meet like this,"
Allen said. "Hut I kind of stayed off of
them andl guess that hurt."
"It's difficult to go against what is now
the top team in the nation. We're going to
gain a lot by this. If I lartung had been here,
the team wouldn't have been so nervous.
They think 'if we screw up, he'll carry the
ball' and he does," he added.
Allen said the team needs to learn not
to rely so much on Hartung's abilities.
"The week before the NCAAs, someone
could get sick. We have to learn to work
around that," Allen said.
Scott Johnson third
The Huskers never led during the meet
but were paced by stellar performances by
Cahoy and Johnson. Johnson's only flaw
was a fall from his dismount in the pommel
horse, dropping his score to an 8.85. He
came back to place third in the all-around
with a 56.6. Iowa State's Ron Galimore
was second with a 56.85 .
Cyclone Coach F.d Gagnier said he was
extremely pleased with the outcome, and
that to lose to the Huskers without Har
tung would have demoralized Iowa State.
"It is an advantage for us to have won,"
Gagnier said. "The score is impressive,
breaking last week's school record (280.08
against Minnesota)."
Gagnier cited Galimore and Tom Har
den as key performers in the victory.
Cahoy, however, cited the noisy crowd
of over 4,600 as playing an important role
in the outcome.
"The crowd was pretty rowdy. It's al
ways like this at Iowa State. You just have
to try and block them out," Cahoy said.
Gagnier said he thought the crowd was
an advantage and that he wished he could
have them for April's NCAA meet in Lincoln.
