The one thing Montana did, Beck
said, was shut down the lane driving

adjust to that, hurt us a lot," she said.

Nebraska's men's coach Francis Allen
said he was happy with his team's score
of 282.45, even though they lost to the
Japanese, who scored 283.30. It was the
second straight year the Huskers have
lost to the Japanese.
Allen said he thinks his team is ,
improving each week and that once
freshman Mark Warburton returns to
the lineup, Nebraska won't have a weak
event.
Allen said he was happy with the
performance of his two freshmen Bob
Stelter and Patrick Kirksey. Both of:
them upped their scores from last week .
by a full point. Stelter scored an all
around score of 54.40 and Kirksey
scored a 54.70.
Allen said the Huskers were in the
meet until they got to the rings. Two :
Huskers, Kirksey and Kevin Davis,
scored 8.9, w hile t he Japanese averaged
9.3.
"Once we get Warburton back we
will be strong in every event," Allen
said. "Warburton is a strong ring
performer. He is the key to our success
this season." ; ? .
The men's all-around champion was
Nebraska's Wes Suter. Suter scored a
57 while teammate Neil Palmer finished
second with a 56.9.
