By Ron Powell Lincoln Journal-Star Lincoln High's Beechner Field usually is not a discus throwers' not with the numerous trees and buildings surrounding it to cut off the wind.

But it seemed just fine for Lincoln Highs wlarcie Scharton and Lincoln East's Scott McPherren Friday at the Harold Scott Invitational. With a slight breeze blowing from the southeast, McPherren thrpur a meet- record 192 feet, 6 McPherren inches, eclipsing the mark he set last year of 175 feet His father and coach, Ed McPherren, said the 192-6 is the best in the nation so far this season. Scharton increased her state chart lead with a fling of 147-1, also a meet record. That's four inches short of cracking the Nebraska all-time charts. "It's really rare to get a day like this out here," Scharton said.

"Usually it's just still, no wind at all. It's good for practice because you can see how much power you have, but I dont like throwing here for meets." The senior unleashed a 140-9 effort in her first meet outdoors this season at the Millard North Relays but had not matched it since.

NU women win tennis tournament opener OKLAHOMA CITY Annie Yang and Cathy Liptak each won singles matches and combined to win No. 2 doubles, leading Nebraska to a 5-3 win over Colorado Friday in the first round of the women's Big Eight Tennis Championships. Nebraska, seeded fifth in the tournament, will face top-seeded Oklahoma Saturday in the semifinals. The Huskers, seeded fifth in the tournament, avenged last week's 5-4 loss to the Lady Buffs. NU Coach Scott Jacobson said the win came at the right time.

"We played them a week ago and lost 5-4, even though we had four match points as a team," he said. "That makes this win that much more satisfying. If we had our druthers, we'd have rather won today than last weekend, and that's what we did." OU player avoids upset in win against NU OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) Oklahoma defeated Nebraska to reach Saturday's semifinals of the Big Eight Men's Tennis Championships. Oklahoma's No. 1 singles player, Brett Zeuschner, was on his way to losing his first Big Eight match of the season when teammate Joe DeLuna beat NU's Andy Davis in No.

2 singles to clinch the Sooners' first-round win. Big Eight rules dictate that once a team has won five of the nine possible matches, all undecided matches are suspended and results do not count, DeLuna's deciding match ended only moments before Nebraska No. 1 singles player Frederick Riesbeck would have upset Zeuschner. Plainswomen go 1 -1 in softball tournament Steph Greguras hit a sacrifice fly in the bottom of the seventh inning to score Amy Shaner as the Nebraska Wesleyan softball team overcame a 3-0 deficit and defeated Dana 4-3 in the Nebraska-Iowa Athletic Conference Championships at the Lancaster Youth Softball Complex. Doane defeated the Plainswomen 10-7 in Wesleyan's tournament opener.

Monika Hollstein was 3-for-3 with three runs scored and drove in two runs for Doane, which came back from a 5-0 deficit.

56th Lincoln 423-6230 Hours: to bother her. "Last year, I was always, building up, I threw better every meet," Scharton said. This year, I came out real well and then dropped back." Scharton explained the drop to heavy training. 1 McPherren's mark came on his final throw of the day. The UCLA recruit was all smiles after the competition, even though he still has not matched the 198-9 he threw to win the all-class Gold Medal at last year's state meet "My form and technique felt great today," McPherren said.

"With the kind of wind I had at state last year, I would've thrown 210 or 215 today." Five other boys' meet records were broken. Danny Mardusek of Millard South was involved in three. He won the 110-meter high hurdles in 14.4 seconds and the 300 intermediates in a state-leading :39.0. Marousek also was a member of the Indians' 1,600 relay, which ran a meet-record 3:25. Ahman Green of Omaha Central broke the record in the 200 in :22.0.

That time, as well as the 10.7 he won the 100 with, top the state charts: Central won the boys' team title with 104 Vs points. Ron Jones of Omaha Bryan established a meet record in the 800 with his state-leading 1 :56.4. Scharton's teammate, Stephanie Schilke, had the only other girls' meet record with a 40-6 effort in the shot put. Schilke also placed second in the discus with a 138-4, her best this season, to move to second on the state charts behind Scharton. Millard South won the girls' team title 142-72 margin over Lincoln Pius X.

men. "They hit the ball hard, and everything they hit had eyes. We weren't hitting, and we swung at some bad pitches. We just weren't patient at the plate." The Monarchs, now 8-6, counted on six hits and three errors in their explosion. Josh Dalton singled to right and came home on Eric Petersen's double to left-center field.

Dave Ort-lieb followed with an RBI single, and Kevin Peterson reached on a single. Southeast starting pitcher Aaron Madsen got Ed Hamblen to strike out for the second out of the inning, but Shawn Kaskie responded with a run-scoring single to center. He and Peterson advanced when center fielder Aaron Barksdale overran the ball. Jeremy Pietig drove in two more runs with a single to right. After Mike Galvan reached on an error and stole second, Pietig and Galvan scored on another error.

"The breaks make a big difference," said Papillion-LaVista Coach Jim Thomas. "We were ahead last night 11-1 and ended up losing. I told the kids that what was important was not that event but how they deal with the next event They did a good job of responding to that challenge. "It's not if you hit the ball, it's when when somebody is in scoring position or the game is on the line If you hit the ball hard enough and often enough to get the other team running around a little, sometimes they can have breakdowns." Southeast got on the board in the sixth inning on a two-run single by Jason Stych, but Monarch pitcher Kaskie retired the side in the seventh to earn the win. Jay Csipkes did the most damage for 12-1 Creighton Prep, knocking out a two-run home run and adding a run-scoring groundout for the Junior Jays.

Eric Lauritsen also drove in three runs with a sacrifice fly and a two-run single. Northeast threatened in the top of the second inning with the bases loaded and one out But Lauritsen leaped to snare Jesse Waller's line drive and completed the double play by trotting to second. Papillion and Prep meet Saturday at 10 a.m., followed by Prep and Southeast at 12:30 p.m., Southeast and Northeast at 3 p.m., and Papillion and Northeast at 5 :30 p.m. Corporate- Sponsor: $2 Free ii NU April Buck By Ryly Jane Hambleton Lincoln Journal-Star PAPILLION Omaha Creighton Prep and Papillion-La Vista made the most of big innings on the first day of the Monarch Invitational baseball tournament. Prep used an eight-run inning to stop Lincoln Northeast 12-0 in a five-inning contest and the host school scored all seven of its runs in the fourth inning and held on to beat Lincoln Southeast 7-2 Friday at Fricke Field.

"We were ugly. The errors were uncharacteristic. We don't do things like that," said Southeast Coach Randy Brolhorst.

From Page 19 Jacobson, NU's first Outland Trophy winner, was a key to Nebraska's national championship in 1971.

Alberts, who is expected to be one of the first 15 players Sunday in the NFL draft, also was one of the most academically decorated players in NU history. Osborne, Gov. Ben Nelson and some NU players will lead children in a pledge to "Say No To Drugs" for the fifth consecutive year. All children participating in the pledge will be admitted free. Five players will not play in the.

spring game for various discipinar reasons, Osborne said. The players are middle guard Christian Peter, cornerback Tyrone Williams, of fen sive tackle Zach Wiegert, fullback Vershan Jackson and tight end Tim Carpenter. Offensive tackle Chris Dishman and cornerback Eric Stokes will not play because of injury.

Nebraska is expected to show its strength on defense, Osborne said. "The safety spots are still a concern in depth, but we should be solid on defense," he said. "We have quality players and more depth at rush ends than we thought we might with Dwayne Harris and Donta Jones, as well as Jeff Olsen and Jared Tomich, to give us a stable position. "The linebackers are a little thin but good.

Ed Stewart and Doug Col-man have done well 'his spring, and Leonard Alexander has come along well at backup for both positions. Troy Dumas has come along well at the SAM (strongside) linebacker, too. "And the defensive line may be as strong as last year, with four or five guys there who can play." Osborne said the summer off-season work and the two-a-day workouts will determine how good the Corn-huskers will be. "But I think we've got a chance to be good right now," he said. NOTES: The jerseys, but not the numbers, of Outland Trophy Will Shields and Larry Jacobson and But-kus Award winner Trev Alberts will be retired at halftime of the spring game.

Shields, named rookie of the year for the Kansas City Chiefs last year, was the first scholarship recruit from Oklahoma to play for Nebraska. He is director of the Will to Succeed Foundation for abused and troubled children. vw i A.
