Rest Continued from Page 7 Nee said. “We’re lucky we didn’t get someone sick.” Carl Hayes, a junior forward, said it was good to return home. “It seems like we’d been on the road for at least a year,” Hayes said. “It was good to get back and wear our white.” When the Huskers get back into their red road uniforms for the Colo rado game, they will be going for a record winning streak. Nebraska is riding a 14-game streak, tying the 1912-13 and 1913-14 teams for the longest string in school history. Nee said the pressure of maintain ing the streak is taking its toll on the players. “It’s all new to us,” Nee said. “I don’t know how each individual handles it, but I’m concerned about it.” But the players said that as long as they add to the Division I-leading 16 victories, everything will work out fine. “We’re just winning, and I’m just happy we’re winning,” Hayes said. “I’m not keeping track of how many games we’ve won or anythirg like that.” Ramos said the key to maintaining the streak is 'concentration on the players’ part. “We keep our eyes focused,” Ramos said. “Since everyone didn ’t get to go home for Christmas, we’re focused on just playing.” Cancun, MX $349-369 Air/Hotel 4 Nights Nassau, Bahamas $286 London $462 Air from Omaha Air from KC Amsterdam $526 Frankfurt $638 Air from Omaha Air from Omaha PHONE 423-4500 Contact Pam, Mlki, or Donna__ CONSIDER UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA-LINCOLN ♦ College ^ Independent S Study If you are considering taking a course this semester, ^ * S consider UNL College Independent Study. ^ ^ College Independent Study credit is UNL credit.

SPORTS NETWORK 6440 ‘O’ — next to McDonald’s M.V.P. — THE STORE SPORTS FANS TUNE INTO Gymnasts already meet NCAA regulations, coaches say Practice limits no problem By Erik Unger Staff Rsportei__ New NCAA regulations regarding the number of coaches, scholarships and hours of practice allowed will not cause a drastic change in the men’s and womens’s gymnastics teams at Nebraska, according to the teams’ coaches. Rick Walton, the women’s coach, said his team practices already meet the new limit of 20 hours a week during the season. The limit was passed at last week’s NCAA Convention in Nashville, Tenn. “It won’t affect us or force us to i—- "■ i change our training habits in or out of season,” he said. Walton said his team trains once a day and already takes two days off each week. Adding practice time, he said, could get dangerous. The new rule that allows only eight out-of-season practice hours a week also won’t be a problem, said men’s coach Francis Allen. He said that this rule only applies to teaching hours and that athletes still can work out on their own time as long as a coach is there to spot the athlete. Allen said he can’t force his gym nasts to practice, but because of their motivation and desire to make the 1992 Olympic team, they will work out on their own. However, Alien said his team would feel the effectof the 10 percent reduc tion of scholarships under the new rule. It translates to the loss of one gymnastics scholarship, he said. “It will hurt because we don’t have enough anyway,” Allen said. But, he said because of the reputa tion of Cornhusker gymnastics, he doesn’t fear a deficit in recruiting. The biggest effect will be pro posed budget costs. Allen said the team was over its budget last year and the budget has been cut for this year. “That has affected us more than anything,” he said. Graf extends victory streak MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) - Steffi Graf ran her Aus tralian Open victoiy streak to 22 as she opened her bid for a fourth straight title and answered some of the bold talk of her rivals. Graf sported a shorter hair cut Monday and a blood-red bandana in her 48-minute, 6-3, 6-0 hammering of American Jennifer Santrock. Graf’s German compatriot, men’s No. 2 seed Boris Becker, also took care of business by beating Jeremy Bates 6-4, 6-2, 6-3. A brief shower interrupted play with Becker leading 6-4,4 0, but after the court was mopped and the retractable roof closed, Becker continued to dominate the match. Gabriela Sabatini put behind her the memory of the severely sprained ankle she suffered here a year ago and began her drive for a second straight Grand Slam title by beating Linda Harvey Wild 6-3, 6-1. In oilier women’s matches fifth-seeded Katerina Maleeva beat Brenda Schultz 6-1,6-3. Injuries Continued from Page 7 High School. The dual, scheduled at Norfolk to promote the Husker pro gram, will begin at 7 p.m. Neither Chenoweth nor Penning will wrestle against Clemson, Neu mann said, and Billings may also be held out. Nelson wiil be out until March, Neumann said, perhaps until the Big Eight Tournament March 14-16. “But he won’t be too far behind when he gets his cast off,” Neumann said. “Chris is one of those athletes | who works harder when he’s hurt ! than when he’s healthy. He’ll be lift ing as best he can in the meantime.” The injuries have actually had a positive effect on the Huskers, Neu mann said. “This weekend taught the guys that they don’t have to have the best team in there to win against good competition,” he said. “They can still be impressive. Luckily, the toughest part of our dual season is behind us.” Montana earns award NEW YORK (AP) - While the San Francisco 49ers are trying to win a third straight Super Bowl, their quar terback, Joe Montana, has repeated as The Associated Press Male Athlete of the Year for 1990.
