Splinters From the Bench I suppose you noticed the insert in last week's Reporter dealing with spring sports. Yes, we are in the middle of track and golf seasons right now, but softball and baseball will be here in a month. Both the Lone Tree softball and baseball teams have games scheduled before the end of May. -OW- On the Iowa scene, spring football practice has ended. Because of the renovations to Kinnick Stadium there was no spring game this year. There was one in Ames, howevez; and if Tony Yel doesn't stay healthy it looks as if the Cyclones might have place kicking problems again this year. I said as the season went along last year, and I say it here again, that Iowa was mighty lucky in at least four games. Had the Cyclones had a healthy Tony Yelk for that game they probably would have won, 19- 17. Had Penn State had a decent kicker the Lions might have won that game. The same for Purdue and Minnesota. Iowa won all of those games because the Hawks had Kyle Schlicher to ptR the ball between the uprights in crucial situations and those four teams didn't. Spring football games were abounding around the country, if not in Iowa City. A couple of weeks ago I read where Florida had 58,500 for its spring game. I watched some of South Caroli- na's spring game on TV Satur- day. I think they announced the crowd at something like 38,000. I saw in the paper Sunday that Iowa State had 5,000 for its spring game Saturday. I also saw that the crowd in Lincoln was 63,600. I make this compar- ison not to demean Iowa State, but to compare the tunnel vision of fan interest. The Huskers draw a huge crowd for a football scrimmage, but attendance at other athletic events is usually pretty poor. Iowa State might have had 'only' 5,000 for the spring game, but Cyclone fans have come out in large numbers for basketball and wrestling. I've maintained for years that, if a big pile of gold was not shaped like a football, 95 percent of the population of the state of Nebraska would walk right past it and not rec- ognize it. The Iowa softball team seems to be getting going a little bet- ter after that horrible day in Evanston. As I'm writing this I don't know if their conference record is now 7-5 or 8-4 because I don't know if they won the second game at Penn State on Sunday. They had two wins at Ohio State and one win at Penn State that I know of. The baseball team seems to think it is supposed to be good. The Hawks went into Sunday with a seven game winning streak and a Big Ten confer- ence mark of 8-3. I would guess that the last time the Iowa base- : .'.v  !!::ii : i By Ron Rife ,!i ,3 i:::.:; The Lnne Tree Reporter ball team had a conference record like that I was still liv- ing in Nebraska. Maybe there is light at the end of the Hawk- eye Baseball Tunnel. Moving on to other things. the Kernels are at home again this weekend. There will be no noon game this time around, but there will be another one sometime in May. So far they haven't exactly been tearing up the Midwest League, but they are close to the .500 mark. The Kernels are- certainly doing a lot better than the Iowa Cubs who, the last time I looked, were 1-9 in the Pacific Coast League. In the major leagues, all of George Steinbrenner's money doesn't seem to have done much good for the Yankees. They just got swept last week- end by Baltimore and are sit- ting near the bottom of the division. Meanwhile, the Wash- ington Nationals (nee Montreal Expos) are doing fairly well in the National League. We must keep hi mind this summer that, while the Nation- als are a new franchise in Washington, they are not an - expansion team populated with castoffs from the rest of the league. I wonder if George will implode by the middle of the summer if that high priced Yankee lineup hasn't gotten its act together by July 4th. Joe Torre might be done as the manager by that time. All in all, it could be a very interesting summer. I think we'll find plenty of interesting things to pass the time until September. Keep in mind that, from today, Thursday, April 21, it's only 134 more days until Iowa's opening football game. , k ¸ • Moco
