Tee Mason is developing into the spirit of this team." Colorado 59, Nebraska 55, ot Colorado rallied from a 14-point deficit in the first half to even Nebraska's pool play record at 1-1. Nebraska led 20-6 with 4:35 left in the first half after Grand Island's Jeff Tesmer hit back-to-back field goals. Colorado answered with a 11-3 run the rest of the way to get back into the game, then scored the first seven points of the second half to take a 24-23 lead with 14:38 left in the game. Back-to-back three-pointers by Lincoln High's Bryan Buchanan completed a Nebraska rally and gave the All Stars a 40-33 lead with 8:31 left.

Again, Colorado refused to go away. The Thunderbirds scored eight straight points to take a 41-40 lead, but fell behind when a three-pointer by Shawn Redhage and two field goals by Aaron Golliday gave Nebraska a 51-45 advantage with 2:20 remaining. After a pair of Colorado three-pointers tied the game, Derek Paben scored off an assist by Golliday to put Nebraska ahead 53-51 with 38 seconds left. Colorado tied the game with 10 seconds left on a field goal by Nick O'Connal and Buchanan's three-pointer at the buzzer bounced off the rim. Nebraska made just 1 of 6 field goals in the overtime period.

D.J. Stancil's two free throws with 10 seconds left sealed the win for Colorado. KEARNEY Balanced scoring and 48 percent shooting boosted the Valentino'sBison Senior All Stars to an 84-64 win over Eagle Ridge (Okla.) Wednesday morning in pool play at the Mr. Basketball Invitational. Nebraska used a 14-4 run midway through the first half to take a 26-18 lead and never led by less than six points the rest of the game.

A 10-0 run to open the second half boosted the lead to 52-30 and Eagle Ridge never recovered. Concern about shooting surfaced after a 4-1 record in the Minnesota Select tourney last week. Assistant Coach Rick Hook of Millard West said Wednesday's opening win featured a major offensive improvement. "We passed the ball more than we did in Minnesota," Hook said. "It's difficult to make a player understand that shooting a three-pointer after four or five passes is OK.

Shooting a three-pointer after one pass is not OK." Nebraska, after making 27 percent of its three-point shots in Minnesota, was 8-for-17 from beyond the arc against Eagle Ridge. Lincoln Northeast's John Bell and Lincoln High's Bryan Buchanan led the All Stars with 11 points each. Lincoln East's Shawn Redhage added 10. Aaron Golliday of York and Tee Mason of Lincoln Northeast had 9. Mason, a junior point guard, had five assists and three steals and keyed a Nebraska defense that forced Eagle Ridge into 28 turnovers.

"We did a little run and jump on defense," Hook said. "Coming into these tournaments, we didn't think that would be our nuts and bolts, but it has picked this 64, 6-4 in the boys' 16-and-under finals of the Missouri Valley "Sweet 16" tennis tournament Wednesday in Kansas City, Mo. Joel's brother, Jon Reckewey, finished fifth in the boys' 14-and-under division, defeating Colby Wade of Tulsa, in the consolation finals Wednesday 4-6, 6-3, 7-5. Because of their finishes in the Sweet 16, both Reckeweys are now qualified for the national clay court, hard court and indoor tournaments. Joel Reckewey plays in the 16-and-under clay court nationals beginning July 12 in Washington, D.C.

After Jon Reckewey participates in the zonal team event in Ash-eville, N.C., July 6-10, he will play in the 14-and-under clay court nationals in Fort Lauderdale, also July 12.

Bloomberg) -The Chicago Bulls and the Washington Redskins have a message for unruly fans. Somebody's watching you. The Bulls and Redskins are among at least 20 professional sports franchises who have installed state-of-the-art surveillance cameras in their stadiums to find fans who instigate fights or throw objects from the stands, said Clark Mleynek, an architect with HOK Sport, an architectural firm that designs sports stadiums. While the system costs around $100,000, it's an expense teams are incurring because sports executives and players are becoming more concerned about safety at sporting events after several incidents where athletes have been pelted by snowballs, coins, and other projectiles during games, stadium officials said. um, Curdts said.

The placement allows police officers to get a clear upper body and face shot from across the field. Unlike some other franchises, though, the Redskins have a history of well-behaved fans. Over the past six years, only one person has been arrested inside Robert F. Kennedy Stadium at a Redskins' game, and that was for running on the field, Dalrymple said. Giants Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, home of the New York Giants and Jets, averages about six arrests a game, said the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority, which operates the stadium.

Pro Player Stadium in Miami averages about six arrests a game when the Miami Dolphins play, the team said. Ericsson Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina, home of the Carolina Panthers, averages two arrests a game, the team said. "There's a need today, unfortunately, for more and more security," said Jim Dalrymple, executive director of the Washington Sports Commission, which runs Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium. "Things seem to have gotten more out of control." The cameras can scan the crowd, zoom in on a fan bothering a neighbor, and with the help of a computer overlay can tell security exactly where the patron is seated, said Fred Curdts, senior vice president of Signal Perfection the company that installs the system.

The Redskins have installed the cameras in their new home, Jack Kent Cooke Stadium in Landover, Maryland, where they will play next season's games. Two cameras on top of the stadium at either end of the 50-yard line can zero in on any seat in the stadi FrazierHas changed blood-thinning medications TennisHingis beat Kournikova at French Open to blood-thinning medication.

"They ran the same kind of tests (as what Frazier underwent while at Nebraska)," Samms said.

"He (Goldhaber) took a different approach with how to deal with it." Samms said Frazier has stayed in good physical condition and has been anxious to play football "but talking to (NFL teams) without having a doctor's report means nothing, so I wasn't going to make a move without it. "Now, teams will find out. It's just a matter of whether there's interest We know we can go back to go off Samms it," said, less Continued from Page 1 and was not selected in the NFL draft. Frazier signed a one-year contract with the Montreal Alouettes of the Canadian Football League in June 1996. He played in three games, but was hospitalized with pneumonia in the lower part of his left lung, and did not play the rest of the season.

Samms said Frazier, who is in graduate school at Nebraska and was a sideline reporter on Nebraska football radio broadcasts last season, is no longer under contract with Montreal. He also said Frazier's problems with blood clots has been solved through a different approach Hingis beat her 6-1, 6-3 at the French Open last month, but Kournikova may have the stronger and more creative game that can produce wins on grass. "I played very well in Paris, but here on this surface I think she feels much more confident," Hingis said. "For sure, it's a little different than in Paris. She has nothing to lose, and now she has beaten a couple of great players oat there." Opposing the winner of Kournikova-Hingis in the final will be a player who's been there before: Arantxa Sanchez Vicario, a finalist the past two years, or Jana Novotna, who came so close to winning in the 1993 final.

Sanchez Vicario beat Nathalie Tauziat 6-2, 7-5, and Novotna downed Yayuk Basuki 6-3, 6-3. Continued from Page 1 Wimbledon, advanced 7-6 (7-1), 6-4 against French Open champion Iva Majoli. The No. 1 Hingis, also 16, beat a childhood friend from the former Czechoslovakia, 18-year-old Denisa Chladkova, 6-3, 6-2, to reach the Wimbledon quarters for the first time in three tries. Kournikova showed a deft touch with drops and volleys, plus plenty of power on returns and groundstrokes.

That combination could someday make her a grass court champion in a league with Martina Navratilova and Steffi Graf if she continues to develop and stays free of injuries. This is strenuous, but FRAZIER cleared we won't go off it, except briefly right before contact. It's a milder type of blood thinner."
