Michael Chang hits a forehand during the Healthy Choice Challenge last weekend at Omaha’s
Civic Auditorium. Chang won the exhibition against top-ranked Jim Courier.
Consistent play propels cnang
past Australian Open champion
By Beau Finley
Staff Reporter
OMAHA — Fresh off yet another
Grand Slam win, Jim Courier is gain
ing more notoriety than ever.
But in Courier’s first Omaha ap
pearance, it was Michael Chang, the
world’s No. 6 tennis player, who
outlasted him 4-6,7-6 (7-3), 6-4 Fri
day to win the Healthy Choice Chal
lenge exhibition match.
Despite the loss. Courier said he
was happy for the opportunity to play
, in Omaha.
“It’s not only good practice; it’s a
chance for me to be a bil looser on the
court,” Courier said at a pre-match
press conference. .
Chang expressed respect for Cou
rier, the newly crowned two-time
Australian Open champion.
“Jim has matured, and he knows
what it takes to be number one,’’Chang
said. “The hard work, the dedication
... hopefully he won’t gel any beudr.”
Chang’s words rung true as Cou
rier threatened to blow the match
open early, breaking Chang’s serve
twice in the first six games and win
ning the first set.
Alter mat, it was t„nang s turn to
show the work ethic he has become
noted for. With consistent play and a
flawlessly played tie-break, Chang
claimed the second set.
The third set belonged to Chang as
he broke in the second and eighth
games to take the match.
Though inconsistentat times, Cou
rier entertained the fans with his on
court antics.
At one point in the match, a phone
near courtside rang, and Courier imT
mediately responded with “I’ll get it,”
which was answered with a roar of
laughter from the crowd.
NCAA proposals may decrease
programs quality, Osborne says
By Susie Arth
Senior Reporter
Several NCAA proposals for the
1994 convention have Nebraska foot
ball coach Tom Osborne frowning.
Osborne said last week that the
Nebraska football staff was concerned
by the proposals, which range from
recruiting regulations to meals.
“If all this stuff goes through legis
lation and gets passed, it will really
drastically change the face of the
game,” he said.
The proposals include: limiting the
size of football squads to 105 players,
eliminating pre-game off-campus
housing prior to home games, prohib
iting institutions from providing hous
ing expenses for away games when
the site of the game is 120 miles or less
from campus, eliminating training
tabic meals in the off-season, and
reducing preseason practices to 22
days.
If the proposals are passed, the
quality of collegiate football could
take a dive, he said.
“I don’t sec a lot of common sense
being displayed here,” Osborne said.
Other proposals would hamper
schools’ ability to recruit, he said.
Measures which reduce the off
campus recruiting contacts and evalu
ations from seven to four, reduce the
number of campus visits a recruit can
make, and reduce off-campus recruit
ing contact and evaluation days from
110 to 70, have been all been pro
posed.
“We fell this year we couldn’t get
our heads above water,” he said.
“You’re giving a guy a $70,000 pack
age and you’ve got to decide in 70
days?
“This is going to be very difficult.”
Osborne said he expected most of
the proposals would be passed.
“The whole trend has been a down
hill slide, like an avalanche going
downhill and gaining speed,” he said.
“We really are alarmed.”
Osborne said he believed some of
the proposals were prompted by the
issue of gender equity in collegiate
sports.
But in the past, he said, football
had always been exempted from the
gender equity equation.
Osborne said he had heard talk in
some comers of football and basket
ball programs leaving the NCAA if
the proposals were approved.
“If the frustration level gets high
enough, I think that’s a definite possi
bility,” he said.

Nee also said that senior center
Derrick Chandler had stepped up his
play in the last three games, and the
Huskers would be looking to Chan
dler for leadership down the stretch.
Chandler was slowed earlier in the
season with shoulder and ankle inju
ries and Nee said that Chandler
was finally returning to full speed.
“What a lot of people don’t realize
is that physically he has had ailment
after aiimentafter ailment,” Nee said.
“As all seniors do, he raised his
level of emotion and intensity when
he realized the clock was ticking on
his college career,” Nee said.
“Derrick’s activity on the boards has
been big for us.”
Chandler’s aggressive rebounding
helped the Huskers outrebound the
Jayhawks, which Kansas coach Roy
Williams thought was one of the key
statistics of Sunday’s game.
“Nebraska did a good job rebound
