By Mike Callahan, Jr. Staff writer Call it the Big Dance of collegiate women’s rifling. The Nebraska women’s rifle team is guaranteed it will be one of the eight teams invited to the national champi onships in Lexington, Va., on March 9. In the Collegiate Rifle Coaches Association rankings, NU is No. 5. Coach Karen Anthony has no problem stating her confidence that the team will be dancing in Virginia. “I think we’re going to make it, period,” Anthony said. “Id predict that we’re about head to head with Navy at either the No. 4 or No. 5 slot” On Feb. 13, NU finished off the regular season with a bang, stealing die top three places in both air and small bore rifles with a season-high tourna ment score of 6,165 at Ohio State University.

Bradford steadies KU at half By Matthew Hansen Staff Writer Amidst the former high school All-Americans on the Kansas basket ball roster, one name and one word stick out: Nick Bradford, senior. In KU’s 83-58 victory on Wednesday night, Bradford, accord ing to Coach Roy Williams, showed just how important he was to the team. Williams said Bradford’s play on the floor and leadership off it helped the younger Jayhawk players considerably. Bradford came off the bench and contributed a game-high 19 points, seven rebounds and six steals in only 24 minutes. According to Williams, though, his biggest contribution may have been at halftime. “Nick was just sensational tonight,” Williams said. “At halftime, nothing I said was more important than what Nick said. He challenged this team to come up and play with more intensity in the second half.” With Bradford’s prompting, the Jayhawks jumped out of the second half gate to turn a 34-34 halftime deadlock into a nine-point lead only four minutes after intermission. After the game, though, as his teammates praised his leadership, Bradford said it was the non-seniors in the lineup who made it happen. “Nothing I say will make any dif ference unless everybody goes out and makes it happen,” he said. “Tonight, I said we had to be a sec ond-half team, and then we went out and did it.” Bradford, averaging seven points per game, said leading the team in scoring was fun. But he said that in most games he would help the team in other ways. “I’m not going to score like that every game,” he said. “I am going to go out there and play hard, rebound and play good defense. And I’m going to keep this team ready to play.” www.dailyneb.com Fidelity Aggressive Growth Fund1 103,02 51.46 40.47 N/A 31.65 12/28/90 Fidelity Blue Chip Growth Fund 24.26 28.60 25.80 22.04 21.72 12/31/87 Fidelity Diversified International Fund 50.65 25.14 22.64 N/A 16.17 12/27/91 Fidelity Growth Company Fund 79.48 39.51 34.66 23.63 21.29 1/17/83 Fidelity New Millennium* Fund 102.52 47.72 43.28 N/A 33.68 12/28/92 Fidelity OTC Portfolio 72.53 38.59 35.41 22.86 23.59 12/31/84 'Effective 3/20/00, the fund will increase its short-term trading fee from 0.75% to 1.50% of the amount redeemed on shares held less than 90 days.
