Dissension had wracked the relay team for weeks before the Games as Lewis tried to get his training partner and eventual 200-meter sprint winner, Joe DeLoach, on the team.

They can expect more of the same. Frank Solich, the Comhusker running backs coach, said earlier this week that Rodgers is still learning how to utilize his considerable athletic ability. Rodgers Is more under control now when he runs, according to Solich.

Rambo Brick or Big Hit? Nevada-Las Vegas presents "Big Hit" and "Rambo Brick" awards to outstanding offensive and defensive players each week. Even though Cedric Davis, on offense, and Charles Anthony, on defense, received them after last Saturday's 26-18 victory over Ohio University, the awards apparently are not to be contuse! A "Big Hit" is self-explanatory, while a "Rambo Brick" effort defies explanation.

"I hate to lose," Carper sail To turn things around, she had her players go through a rigorous summer camp schedule. And while "we really didn't do anything outstanding until the last tournament," when her players defeated a squad made up primarily of Lincoln Northeast players, that triumph gave Carper optimism. That's something that's been scarce at Beatrice since the Lady Orange last appeared at the state.
