The Lincoln Star from Lincoln, Nebraska • 11

Saturday, December 4, 1971 The Lincoln Star II Mmml Trip Little More Thaim 'lGtin' Nebraska hasn't beaten any of those teams by .70 or by even 50 points, but only Oklahoma came within less than 24 points of the Huskers this season. A victory would make the 1971 Huskers the first team in college football history to win 13 regular season games. The Lineups Offense By HAL BROWN Star Sports Editor Honolulu When Nebraska athletic director Bob Devaney signed his name to a contract a couple of years ago for a trip to Hawaii for Nebraska football coach Bob Devaney and his 1971 team, it was supposed to be a fun way to wind up a season, perhaps even to serve as a bowl trip. But two years ago, the Huskers were just beginning on an unbeaten string that now stands at 30; they hadn't gained the lofty No. 1 ranking they now enjoy and they weren't expected to be playing in the Orange Bowl to defend that ranking against their closest challenger, Alabama.

Nor was this game with Hawaii expected to follow on the heels of the most important game the Huskers have played in their unbeaten string of 30, last week's 35-31 win over Oklahoma that was for the Big Eight title as well as the regular-season national crown. Nor did anyone expect Hawaii to bring a 7-3 record into the midnight Lincoln time kickoff in Honolulu Stadium, a record that includes a 28-21 victory over New Mexico here a week ago, a Lobo team that finished second only to highly-ranked Arizona State in the Western Athletic Price, "is one of life's greatest fumbles. There's not a coach, not a player on the squad, who doesn't figure we've got a chance. "If we didn't think we had a chance, it wouldn't be worth the bother to suit up." But Price also is realistic enough to know that the Rainbows face a tough evening, particular his defensive line that averages only 215 pounds and must go against a Husker offensive front wall of center Doug Dumler, tackles Carl Johnson and Daryl White, and guards Keith Wortman and Dick Rupert that averages 233. "All season long, those guys have just been rushing opposing lines off their feet," Price points out.

"I just hope our defensive line can stand up to it." Hawaii head coach Dave Holmes, who has been trying to get his Rainbows admitted to the Western Athletic Conference, claims his 'Bows could play with many of the teams the Huskers have victimized this season in rolling to 12 straight wins. "I'm getting a little tired of hearing abut the astronomical score Nebraska is going to run up against us," he says. "I think we could compete with some of the teams in the Big Eight and the Big Eight has some fine teams. Four of them are in bowls, aren't they? "I can't see where we're any worse off going up against Nebraska than some of the other teams they've played." game in a secondary role. "This game means a lot to us," Devaney points out.

"We've not only got to win, but we've got to look good doing it and we can't look good if we have a letdown." The professional oddsmakers have established Nebraska as a 36-point favorite, but many Hawaiian natives are pessimistically talking in terms of a 50-point setback for their Rainbows. One Hawaiian has even reportedly bet on the Huskers and given 70 points. There's one fear, however, that keeps sneaking into the thoughts of some Husker fans, who were following Nebraska football a couple of decades ago and that same fear gives some hope to staunch Hawaiian fans. That Husker fear and Hawaii hope is the 1954 and 1955 home and home series played between Nebraska and the Rainbows with NU coming over here in 1954 prior to its Orange Bowl loss to Duke and scoring a 50-0 victory. The following year to open the Husker season in Lincoln, Hawaii scored a stunning 6-0 upset.

But while the oddsmakers and most Rainbow boosters give the Hawaii club no chance for an upset, the Hawaii coaches and players haven't yet given up and have promised to fulfill the contract at the dimly-lighted, bare-turfed Honolulu Stadium Saturday night.

Although Cipriano termed the westerners a better club than most prognosticaters expected, he praised Jura, Mike Peterson, Tony Riehl, and sophomore Lee Harris. "I felt Harris did an excellent job out there on defense," Cipriano said of the former Omaha Central standout who added quickness and speed to NU's attack. Nebraska's 50 per cent field goal shooting (26-52) impressed Cipriano but a 50 per cent free throw effort (9-18 including numerous one-and-one situations) was disastrous. "You have to look at that shooting (field goal) as a bright spot it's good to see us up around that figure," he said. "But missing those free throws hurt us tonight." Looking forward to Saturday night's contest beginning at 7:35 in the Coliseum against Wichita State, Cipriano felt the last-second defeat would spark the Huskers.

"I think our teams have always come back I don't think our team will let this loss let them down," Cipriano said. Wichita State, which opened with an 80-64 victory Wednesday night over Athletes in Action, is expected to present some of the identical problems for the Huskers. "They are almost the same type of team except they don't have that quickness and speed that San Diego has," said freshman coach Moe Iba, who scouted the Shockers.

For INI I AC NWU FELLED BY LUTHER By VIRGIL PARKER Prep Sports Writer Lincoln's intra-city high school basketball season got off to a typical start Friday night at Lincoln High's Johnson Gym. Underdog Southeast, on a tipin basket by Tom Ward with just three seconds to play, overhauled defending state champion East to capture a roof-raising screamer, 6 5 -64. When East's Scott Copple pumped up a long one-hander for the first shot of the game, and it swished through, it looked like the Spartans were picking up right where they had left off last March. It was Copple who, in the last two seconds of the state title game against Papillion, had Nebraska Pius applied a continuous full-court press and waltzed to a 73-36 victory over Nebraska City in its opener Friday night. The Thunderbolts spotted Nebraska City the games first basket and then opened up an 18-8 first quarter lead.

After that the home team's defense took command and the game was never in doubt. The press forced ragged play in the first period with Pius committing six turnovers and Nebraska City nine. Once the Thunderbolt ottense settled down it could name its score and it doubled twice in the second quarter, twice in the third and three times in ttm final period. Nebraska City, which played without 6-5 Will Berger, a starter, cut the score to a nine-point spread with 3:55 to play in the first half but the Thunderbolts scored two buckets and the Pioneers could never come closer. Nebraska City felt the pressure defense throughout the game, committing 28 turnovers in all and failing to connect on a field goal during the last quarter of play.

Mike Lein, 6-2 senior forward, led Pius with 17 points and seven coming in the first quarter when the Thunderbolts blew the game wide open.

But coach Wally McNaught's scrappy Southeast club, with just one returning letterman on the entire squad, had different thoughts.

A heavy rain forced postponement of the second round of the $150,000 Walt Disney World Open Golf Tournament Friday.

The second round was rescheduled for Saturday with the 72-hole tournament now set to end with a single round Monday. The tournament originally was scheduled to be completed on Sunday. Rick Samuelson, Jack Bali and Copple paced East through a torrid third quarter. The Spartans pulled out in front by three, then five and with another spurt by a whopping 12 points, 53-41. But McNaught's Knights refused to fold.

Steve Johnson, slated to start before being hampered by a midweek sprained ankle, came off the bench to fire in three straight long ones from back of the key. Vasholz, Brestle and Johnson again connected after a lone East bucket by Reg Gast and the two clubs were only two points apart at 55-53. East stayed in front at the free throw line, but Southeast closed the gap to a single point on three occasions in the last three minutes, first on a bucket by Brestel and twice when Johnson hit again, the last tie at 64-63. That set the stage for the heart-stopping finish. Gast was fouled in an under-the-basket scramble with 28 seconds remaining.

When he missed and Southeast gained control, the Knights ran the clock down before Brestel drove the lane for a final try. The shot was high off the boards, but Ward was waiting. He snared the rebound and put it back up and in. It's going to be a hard act to follow. And the season has just begun.

Hastings pulled from a one point deficit towards the end of the first half in taking their win.

A fast-break boosted the Broncos into the lead for good at that point.
