Line oln I veniiig Nebraska State Tuesday, Nov. 3, Raiders Eve Football, Basketball Titles K-State Linebacker Honored Kansas City This undoubtedly will come as a surprise to some people but linebacker Oscar Gibson of Kansas State was named Big Eight Conference Lineman of the Week Tuesday. Even Gibson himself may be surprised, not because he didn't turn in an outstanding performance in the 17-14 victory Saturday over Missouri. He turned in a brilliant performance. However, the KansasState coaches nominated defensive tackle Ron Yankowski.

For the first time in history, a panel of sportswriters took it upon itself to override a nomination and selected Gibson unanimously. Gibson, a 233-pound senior, made six tackles and 12 tackle assists, including two for losses, and made a general nuisance of himself as far as Missouri was concerned all afternoon. He put a lot of heat on the Tigers' quarterback, Chuck Koper. and led the first half blitz that had Missouri struggling overcome a 10-point deficit. In short he had a big hand in stopping everything Missouri had to offer, including the running of Harrison and Bill Mauser.

Yankowski, the Wildcat nomination, made five initial stops and aided on six other tackles. He blocked one pass and was another strong rusher on the Missouri quarterback. Gibson played tremendous said Wildcat coach Vince Gibson. the leader of our defense. let Harrison run.

By VIRGIL PARKER Prep Sports Writer When Mead coach Jim Heller played for Clatonia High, the defunct school won the state Class basketball championship.

He obviously enjoyed the experience so much like to have the pleasure again as a coach. And Heller particular whether it comes in football or basketball. In fact, lie mind it happening in both.

They will die for the most part emaciated and unnoticed after ingesting some of the 6,000 tons of lead shot which is scattered across bottoms of our wetlands every year. They scoop it up accidentally as they scoop food from the bottoms of the marshes. The lead shallow-feeding waterfowl confuse with enough toxic fluid in gizzards to kill them. Researcher Frank C. Bellrose Jr.

of the Illinois Natural History Survey says the average hunter fires five shots tor every duck he bags. many as 1,400 pellets may be deposited on waterfowl hunting grounds for every duck he says. Researchers scooped up 118,000 lead pellets por acre from the bottom of Lake Puckaway in Wisconsin. Sixty thousand per acre were found on the bottom of marshes along San Joaquin River, and 64,000 an acre on Heron Lake in Minnesota. Proltlciii Is The problem of lead shot poisoning in waterfowl is not new, but as duck populations are thin, it is critical.

Though lead has long been criticized as a toxic pollutant, its performance in shotshells is superb. So the researchers went to work. After trying bio-chemical additives for lead that might render it harmless in waterfowl systems, plated or coated lead shot, and lead-iron-plastic composites, it became clear that lead simply was not going to work. says Ralph chief of the Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife's wetlands ecology section, way was found to make lead li'on shot has loomed as a possible alternative for years, but its ravaging effect on gun barrels was well established. i The research, however, did suggest the use of a new soft I iron that might reduce barrel wear and tear.

But how effectively it would kill a duck was somethipg that had to be found out. Tests at the Patuxent Wildlife Research Center in Maryland gave some answers. Lead Is Shotshells with one ounce of No. 4 iron shot were found to have almost identical as comparable lead loads at shots not exceeding 50 yards. In terms of shot-crippled birds, no difference coulil be found.

As for its effect on barrels, tests revealed negligible wear after 1,000 test rounds of soft iron shot. It looks as if the answer to the lead poisoning problem has been found. But get Icxi optimistic yet. There are many possible slips between the discovery and the production. have three sophomores on our entire squad.

Eidro Hansen, chairman of the boxing program for the sponsoring Lincoln Master Barbers Association, said Monday he expected fighters from Fairbury, Central City, Stromsburg and three Lincoln camps for the first action. The three Lincoln teams, who have indicated they will take part, are Water Company, coached by Randy Nelsen, who also will don the gloves. Straight Edge Barber Shop, coached by Dick and Gene Olson; and Aamco with Buzz Truax and Ivan Slosson doing the coaching. Another team headed by former Southeast District champion Mike Wilson, who recently returned to Lincoln from Army duty in Vietnam, also may be in action, Hansen said.

Halfback Steve Carritt and linemen Brad Hageman and Don Fick, plus back Larry Rasmussen, who broke his ankle early in the season and is just now back out again, also came in for special praise from Heller.

By STEVE GUSS First of a Series Hastings College lost four of its last five basketball games in the 1969-70 season including a horrendous 123-73 shellacking by Wayne in the NAIA playoff finale. Still, the Broncos finished 19-7 under veteran coach Lynn Farrell who is now 130-78 over eight years at the school. Chances for his improving on that record this year are bright.

Farrell will miss a graduated guard combo of Rick Koch and Mark Jensen, but a host of battle-tested lettermen return along with a sterling array of transfers and freshmen pros- peets. The top vets are 6-2 junior Bill Johnson (17.3 per game) and 6-7 senior Dan Wassenberg (14.8 a contest) along with 6-6 junior Frank Higgins and 6-5 junior Dave Ptak. Farrell also has University of Nebraska transfer Jim While and Tom McCown of Lincoln had experience at NU and Morehcad, State.
