Monday, January 16, 1934 1G Daily Ncbrssksn iisicers wicocmce -M4jj 1 f oas lyyicji win By Bob Asraussen Going into Saturday night's game with 2-16 Eastern Washington, Ne braska Coach Moe Iba had won 09 games as a head coach. Ten minutes into the game, with the Cornhuskers leading 24-10, it was clear this would be victory No. 1 00. Nebraska rolled to an easy 105-71 win that improved its season record to 10-3. The outclassed Eagles led the game, 6-4, with 17:37 remaining in the first half on two free throws by forward Tony Chrisman. Nebraska then rolled off eight straight points before Eastern Washington could score again. On four occasions in the first half, Huskers had scoring strings of six points or more. They led the Eagles 45-28 at intermission. A balanced first-half scoring attack was led by center Dave Hoppen's 10 points. Eric Williams had seven points, while John Matzke and Stan Cloudy had six each. Chrisman tried to keep the Eagles close with 18 first-half points. Williams said the game with Eastern Washington would help the Huskers gain some confidence heading into Big Eight play. "It gave us a chance to work on some things," Williams said. They pressed us some so we were able to work on our press offense." The second half was a repeat of the first. Nebraska outsc6red the Eagles, 23-12, during the halfs first 8:38. The lead continued to grow and reached 34 points three times, the last being the final score. The only suspense left in the second half was whether Nebraska would reach the century mark. Titus Dock answered that question when he scored two of his eight points on a driving layup down the baseline. Cloudy led the Huskers with 20 points. Iloppen chipped in 17 points and Brian Carr came off the bench to add 14 points. All 13 Nebraska players who suited up for the game saw action and 12 of them scored. Chrisman led all scorers with 28. Cloudy said the game was some thing he needed to get him back on the right track heading into Big Eight play. "I felt like I had a couple of bad games (during semester break)," Cloudy said. "I didn't play well In the second half of both games, in Atlanta (at the Cotton States Classic)." "I was thinking about it in practice a bit, I've gotten away from taking the open shot in the last few games. YouVe got to think about taking the shot every time you touch the ball." Cloudy said he was glad to help Iba get his 100th win. He said he hadn't realized it would be Iba's 100th victory until it was announced over the public address system with less than a min ute to play. Iba, Williams and Cloudy seemed to be looking to Wednesday's game with Iowa State at Ames. It will be the Huskers first conference game while Iowa State defeated Oklahoma "I dont know if we're really ready (to play the Cyclones)," Iba said. "I watched the Iowa State-Iowa game. I'm not sure if our team's good enough to play Iowa State." Iba said he is pleased with the Hus kers 10-3 mark in non-conference games. Two of the losses came at the hands of Georgis Tech and Michigan State in the Cotton States Classic.

Gopliers swim pasrc tlnmcers nnng effan Bj'WcrdW.TripIcttlll Minnesota swimmers won 12 of 16 events Satur day to defeat Nebraska. 84-56 in a women's dual meet at the Bob Devaney Sports Center. The loss was the Huskers second dual defeat since a second place finish at the Souther Illinois Invitational in December. Nebraska Coach Eay Hup pert said it is not a cause for concern. "It's a loss, and I do not like to lose," Huppert said. "But I have to go back to what our goals were for the season. One goal was to taper for the Southern Iili nois meet, and I felt we did that. The ether is to win the Bi3 Ef-ht meet. I felt the effort tonight was very good, and we have a very, very fine swim team." The Husker swimmers returned from an intensive 12-day training session in Florida on Wednesday, Huppert said. That also had an effect on the team's performance Saturday. "We really worked the girls hard in Florida, harder than we ever have before," Huppert said. "We came back a little sore, and a little tired. Minnesota has a fine program, and I think they came in here geared to beat us." Had Nebraska had another week to prepare, Huppert said, the meet results may have been different Minnesota Coach Jean Freeman agreed. One of J the Gophers' hopes was that the Huskers would still be worn down from the Florida training, she said. "We did a little better than I expected us to " she said. "We went down to Florida for training just 111.3 they did, but we got back a week earlier. I thought if they responded like a team coming out cf training should, we would have a decent chance to win here." Two Gophers, Sue Hccll and Nancy Touve, swain season h!hs in the 100 breaststroke, Freeman said. Touve, who also placed second to teammate Cindy Hovet in the 200 breastetroke, had not scored in any previous meet. "I also didnt expect Diane Walter (I linnecota) to beat Dana Powers (Nebraska) in the CO L-ecctyt?" Freeman said. "Mana I&kkala (400 individual med ley) did better than we expected, nrd our diver (Carol Libbesmekr) did better than he ever ha3 before." Ubbesmeicr scored a 257.00 in the three-meter dive to win that event, but Nebraska's Marcia Ilea v ton won the one-meter with an identical score. Heaton, Libbesmeier, and Huskers' Cathy Lundy and Heidi Hecker qualified for the regional zone competition with their Saturday scores. Lundy and Hecker had qualified in previous meets at the one-meter board, but diving coach Jeff Iluber said he couldn't remember when three divers qualified on the three-meter board. "We've improved quite a lot since the beginning of the year," Huber said. While the rest of the team was in Florida, Huber took his divers out to California for training. The trip got the team some good competition against the likes of USC and Brigham Young, Huber said, and also helped relax them. It also got them a short moment in the national spotlight when Johnny Carson introduced them while they were attending a taping of the Tonight Show. "Basically, we've just come to terms w ith our abil ity. They're saying now, Tra good, but I've still got to . work much harder,' " Huber said. Heaton, who sat out last season with an. ankle injury, had the best meet of her collegiate career. Aside from Heaton, the only Husker victors were Emily Eicktts in the 1650 and 500 freestyks and Linda Sebesta in the 200 freestyle. Huppert singled out Sebesta, a sophomore from Rochester, Minn., and Trischa Zorn, a freshman from Mission Viejo, Calii as the best individual Husker performances. Zorn finished second to Elyce Iwerks in the 200 backstroke and the 100 backstroke. The Huskers will travel to Iowa City, la. and Columbia, Mo. for meets r gainst the Hawkeyes and Tirs Friday and Saturday. "The main thing now is to get back in the daily routine." Huppert eaid. "The yardage well see here this week is much less than what well see on the rcz That, &r.d getting lr.ck into the routine cf cv.inimir.g and cksxs, should help us cerr.e down (in toc3)." .Another matter to look at after the Minnesota loss vcj3 the tirr.es the Gopher r,vimmers won with, Huppert said. According to the national rankings a3 cf December, the best Huckcr times would have beaten any Gopher time in any event Minnesota had no swimmers listed in the top times. "You can look at that and see that we could have won thb meet," Huppert said. "But, wejast couldnt get anything going." UNL boxers advance in Golden Gloves bout Two UNL Boxing Club members advanced to the Midwest Golden Gloves regional championships Saturday by winring matches in the Southeast Dis trict championships at Pershing Auditorium. Two other UNL boxers were defeated in their bids to compete at the regional championships in Oma ha's Civic Auditorium March 2 and 3. Carl Vonrein, the defending Southeast District champion in the heavyweight division, will fight in Omaha because he was unopposed Saturday in Lin coln. In the 139-pound division, Dan Lonowski won by technical knockout over Darrell Mumm in the second round. Lonowski was named the Outstand- .ir.g Boxer at Pershing Saturday. Defending Southeast District champion Felix Konat was upset in the 158-pound division by Ken Bordeaux. David Enshaupt of UNL was decisioned by Jeff LsrcMck in the 1 Co-pound division.
