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-

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.
