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.”

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.

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.
Montana became the fifth athlete
to win the award twice and the fourth
to win it consecutively, edging out
Texas Rangers pitcher Nolan Ryan in
balloting announced Monday by the
AP.
Montana, 34, who passed for 274
yards and two touchdowns in San
Francisco’s 28-10 playoff victory over
Washington on Saturday, received 33
of a possible 138 first-place votes and
259 points.
Ryan, 43, who surpassed 5,000
career strikeouts arid pitched his sixth
no-hitter last season, had more first
place votes (36) but wound up with
254 points.
Montana started his career with
the 49ers in 1979. Since then, he has
been the Super Bowl MVP three times.
He has thrown for 34,998 yards and
242 touchdowns in his career.
This season, he led the 49ers to a
14-2 record and was the league’s
seventh-leading passer with an 89.0
rating, one year after setting an NFL
record with a 112.4 rating. He led the
NFC with a completion rate of 61.7
percent, threw 26 touchdown passes,
and set a club record with 3,944 pass
ing yards.
In August, Montana signed a four
year contract extension through the
1994 season, when he will have played
16 seasons in the NFL.
