"We were out-hustled, and we're going to be working on our defense," explained 'Bolt skipper Cathy Harner.

Price) Carlisle nets 5-2 win from Canners CARLISLE The Carlisle Squaws went apple picking against the Biglerville girls tennis team Tuesday, worming through the Canners, 5-2.

Biglerville's only victories came in the second seeded singles match, where Joy Motter defeated Erin O'Brien, and in the top seeded doubles match, where Joy and sister Jill downed Amanda Fowler and O'Brien. "It's a feather in their cap," Biglerville coach Joe Yeck said of the Motters, both freshmen. The Motters beat a pair of seniors in their doubles match; a good sign for the future of Canner tennis. Joy Motter won her second match in-a-row as the second seed, playing very steady tennis, Yeck said. Jill, on the other hand, dropped her singles match to Fowler, a tough, experienced player.

"Fowler was a good strong senior," Yeck said. "Jill played a weak backhand and netted a lot of shots. The first set she (Motter) played real well, but the experience factor made the difference." In other matches, third seeded Kris Reiniger of Carlisle crushed Juiie Singley, while Carlisle's fourth seed, Sarah Click, rolled over Kim Slonaker, 64, 6-1. "Slonaker and Singley need a little more zip on their ground strokes," Yeck said. Canner Joanne Neuber dropped the fifth singles, 3-6, 2-6, to Lori Johnson.

In the only other doubles match, Reiniger and Click easily bumped off Singley and Slonaker by a score of 6-2, 6-2. In exhibition singles and doubles, the smoke signals spelled trouble for Biglerville, as Carlisle swept all five matches. Carrie Paschel, Sally Herrick anfl Eleanor Majers were all victorious in singles play, while Eleanor and Emily Majers, and Jenny Hall and Terry Anderson won their respective doubles matches. The Canners' open their Blue Mountain League season today against the Harrisburg Academy in Camp Hill. "Hopefully (Harrisburg Academy) will be a little more the caliber of our own," Yeck said.

Open winding down this week By BRUCE LOWITT AP Sports Writer NEW YORK (AP) Chris Evert Lloyd has rarely lost to Hana Mandli- kova. Jimmy Connors has never lost to Heinz Gunthardt. But winning doesn't make it any easier even in the U.S. Open Tennis Championships, where winning may not be everything but it's almost the only thing they've ever done. "I've played Hana so many times and I respect her.

She's beaten me this year. She's got a lot of weapons that can hurt me if she's on," Lloyd, the No. 1 women's seed, said Tuesday after moving into a semifinal showdown with Mandlikova, the No. 3 seed from Czechoslovakia. Lloyd did it by beating No.

5 Claudia Kohde-Kilsch of West Germany Connors, although he has lost only one set in five matches with Gunth- ardt, likewise said he wasn't taking the unseeded Swiss lightly. "Obviously, he's playing good tennis to get here. He's beaten some pretty good players," said Connors, the No. 4 men's seed, after beating No. 11 Stefan Edberg of Sweden 64, 3-6, 6-4, 6-4 to advance to the men's quarterfinals.

It was Lloyd's 83rd victory in a U.S. Open singles match, adding to her overall record. Connors' 76th singles victory here broke Vic Seixas' men's record, set during 1940-69. "My record here at the Open is one I'm more proud of than anything," Connors said. "Winning the Open goes along with it, but more than anything is my performance here, the way I've come through and maybe won a lot of times when I wasn't supposed to.

That means more than anything to me." Today, Martina Navratilova, the No. 2 seed and two-time defending women's singles champion, played No. 6 Zuia Garrison, and No. 4 Pam Shriver faced No. 11 Steffi Graf of West Germany in the two remaining women's quarterfinals.

In an all- Swedish men's quarter, No. 3 Mats Wilander played No. 6 Anders Jarryd. Tonight, defending men's champion and No. 1 seed John McEnroe faces another Swede, No.

Before Connors outlasted Edberg in 2 hours, 44-minutes, Gunthardt became the non-seed to reach the men's quarters by defeating France's Henri Leconte 7-6, 6-2, 3-6, 4-6, 6-3. It was Leconte who, two rounds ago, had beaten fellow Frenchman Guy Forget who, in turn, had ousted outspoken Kevin Curren in the first round.

"He's big, he's got good ground- strokes, he's got a big serve, he mixes it up," Connors said of Gunthardt, ranked 47th in the world. "Obviously, he can last. He played five sets today. And to beat Leconte after the tournament Leconte has had, that's pretty good." It was Connors' lob which made Edberg the second of five seeded Swedish men (Henrik Sundslrom the first) to be knocked out of the tournament. "I used the lob because he closes in so close that he was picking up my passing shots at one time," Connors said.

"I lobbed so that he'd stutter before closing, making my passing shots more effective." BYU moves up in poll as '85 season lacks off SALT LAKE CITY (AP) Brigham Young is on the move again in the Associated Press college football poll. The Cougars, who climbed from nowhere to win the national championship with a 13-0 record last year, were ranked No. 10 in the 1985 preseason poll. After a 28-14 thumping of Boston College in the Kickoff Classic, the Cougars moved into eighth this week, vaulting past Ohio State and Nebras- Terps hope to buck tradition Saturday By GORDON BEARD AP Sports Writer COLLEGE PARK, Md. AP) Maryland Coach Bobby Ross has been around for only two of the losses to Pom State, but he can't escape the spectre of the Terps' woeful 1-27 lifetime record against the Nittany Lions.

With Saturday's season opener against ISuYranked Perm State approaching, supporters of seventh- ranked Maryland are getting nervous, not even wanting to think of the devastating impact that would follow another defeat. While insisting that the Terps are approaching Saturday's contest "like we would any other football game," Ross has had to parry questions about the mismatched rivalry from members of the news media. At his news conference Tuesday, Ross was tasked how he handled what a questionu- called "the Perm State-Maryland situation." "What is the Maryland-Penn State situation?" Ross countered, and then added with a smile: that's the way we handle it" In other words, he wants the Terps to forget about national rankings, the Penn State series, and any other distractions. "It is not as necessary to talk about all those things as it is to get prepared for execution," Ross said. "Tradition doesn't win football games," Ross said, referring to Penn State's 20-game winning strek in the series.

"Games are won with blocking, tackling, execution and those types of things." Ross said he wouldn't back away from his oft-stated preseason observation that he has perhaps his best team in four years at Maryland, one that for a change matches up physically with the Nittany Lions. He said the Terps played at a high level while winning their final seven games of 1984, but added: "Now, we have to maintain it" Penn State was the last team to beat Maryland, clinging to a 25-24 victory last Oct. 6 when Greg Hill failed to snare a two-point conversion pass which would have put the Terps ahead with 1:34 remaining. "I think we've proven we en win games like that" Ross said, "but it just hasn't been against Penn State." A victory for the Terps would enhance Maryland's future bead-to-head recruiting battles with Penn State. While contending that Maryland probably has more intense rivalries within the Atlantic Coast Conference.

Ross confessed: "We have measured our program by Perm State's program." "I think we'll know where we are, come Saturday," he said. A capacity crowd of about 49.000, the 12th consecutive sellout in the series, is expected in Byrd Stadium, with the 12:20 p.m., EDT, game reaching the entire nation via various radio and television networks.
