Pepin: Teams must improve to defend conference titles PEPIN from Page 9 ‘i thought Linetta ran pretty well,” Pepin said. Nebraska took the top-three places in the shot put with Toyia Barnes winning with a throw of 48-7 1/4. Lidy won the long jump with a leap of 18-11 and tenBensel captured the 1,000 with a time of 2:52.77. In the men’s division, Nebraska swept the top three spots in the mile run, the 55-meter dash and the 300 yard dash. The top performer for the Ne braska men was sophomore James Morris, who leaped 25-2 3/4 feet in the long jump. That leap was the 2nd best in Nebraska history. The remaining winners for Ne braska included Jacques van Rensburg in the mile and 1,000, Mark Perry in the 55 in 6.32 seconds and Bobby Jelks in the 300. The addi tional winners for Nebraska included Ken Waller and Regis Humphrey in the 400 and 600, Scott Parker in the triple jump, and Mark Jackson, Waller, Humphrey and Dale Burrage in the 1,600 relay. Pepin said he was concerned after the meet because there was a lack of Nebraska athletes on the Big Eight’s chart of weekly performances. He said both teams are going to have to get much better if they are going to defend their conference titles. “On the men’s side I don't think there’s too many events that we’re really leading,’’ Pepin said. “If we don’t have leaders in there, we've got to have people in the 2nd and 3rd spots. “With the women we’re leading in some areas, but not very many. Both teams are going to have to con tinue improvement or it could be a tough road to hoe.’’ Nebraska’s next meet in on Satur day, when the Huskers face Arkansas and Kansas Stale.

That over hyped, win-at-all cost attitude was exemplified to the fullest Saturday during Nebraska's 89-72 loss to Missouri. As if a continual feud between Nebraska coach Danny Nee and Missouri coach Norm Ste ■ i--1 I wart wasn’t enough, there w as more. To understand the source of this leud, you have to go back three years to Nee’s first season at Nebraska. It was then that Nee, a fiery, highly regarded coach who just arrived from Ohio, asked Stewart to change the date of a Nebraska-Missouri game. .§tewart’s answer: No! Nee was perplexed by Stewart’s unwillingness to cooperate. He blasted the Missouri coach off the J record ai his weekly press confer See NEE on 11
