The Cornhuskers, fourth in the preseason poll, climbed two spots after beating the Moun taineers 31-0 Sunday in the opening game of the season. Ne braska got the most first-place votes (23), but trailed Florida by seven points overall. The Gators, who open Satur day against New Mexico State, received 14 first-place votes and 1,456 points from a nationwide media panel. Nebraska had 1,449 points. Notre Dame, which trailed Florida by only two points in the preseason poll, fell one spot to No. 3. The Fighting Irish, who play Northwestern on Sat urday, got 12 first-place votes and 1,417 points. Florida State, the defending national champion, dropped from No. 3 to No. 4. The Semi- noles, who open this weekend against Virginia, received eight first-place votes and 1,352 points. The rest of the Top 10 stayed the same. Michigan is No. 5, fol lowed by Miami, Arizona, Col orado, Penn State and Wiscon sin. Rounding out the Top 25 are Alabama, Auburn, Tennessee, UCLA, Texas A&M, Oklahoma, Southern Cal, North Carolina, Texas, Ohio State, Virginia Tech, Illinois, Washington, Clemson and Stanford. Arizona received two first- place votes, while Michigan, Mi ami and Alabama each got one. Ohio State remained No. 20 after defeating Fresno Stated 10 Monday in the Pigskin Clai sic. The Pigskin and Kick! Classics were the only game: played during the openinj week. West Virginia, No. 24 in preseason, dropped outoftk Top 25 after getting shutoutfoi the first time since 1986 Stanford, which opens against Northwestern on Sei 10, moved into the rankings No. 25.

I SATURDAY, SEPT. 10™ AT 8PM I the) U.S. Open. I don’t know what I am doing here. Sometimes I ask myself why I am coming here because ... I don’t know.” No one can figure out why he plays so badly at the Open. He lost in the second round here last year and in 1989, in the third round in 1990 and 1992, and got as far as the fourth round only in 1991. He plays well on grass and on clay, and his game seems perfectly suited for the Open’s hard courts. Yet, he hates this surface and seems unable to master it. Ivanisevic’s loss created even more uncer tainty in the men’s draw. No. 1 Pete Sampras is questionable to repeat as champion after being sidelined more than a month with tendinitis in his ankle. Zoecke has little chance of winning the Open, but he was grateful for the gift Ivanisevic gave him. “He gave me a lot of points,” Zoecke said. “He hits a winner or he misses the ball. I mean, that is his game sometimes. I thought after two sets to love he was a little disappointed.” No. 6 Michael Chang, a serious threat to win it, started off with an impressive 6-4, 6-2, 6-2 victory over Andrei Cherkasov. Unseeded Andre Agassi also looked sharp in beating Robert Eriks son 6-3, 6-2, 6-0, as did Wayne Ferreira in a 7-5, 6- 2, 6-2 victory over Wade McGuire.

We’ve seen such tragedy be fore. In the 1990’s, football stars Jerome Brown and Jeff Aim died in car accidents. We’ve seen the murder of Michael Jordan’s father, James Jordan, on a South Carolina freeway. Prior to the 1993-94 NBA season, we saw one of the league’s brightest young stars, Drazen Petrovic, die in a car wreck overseas. Earlier this summer, Dallas Carter’s Calvin Goldsmith, one of the state’s top football prospects, was the victim of an accidental shooting. Too often, we take for granted that the Goldsmiths, the Browns, and the Banks will be on the field or on the court scoring touchdowns and dunking basketballs every day or every weekend, without fail. A couple of summers ago, the California Angels,on their way to play the New York Yankees, dodged a bullet when their bus ran off the road. Fortunately, there were no deaths but the accident did send a message that athletes don’t have any more guardian angels watching over them than we do. Banks’ death really hit me hard although I did not know him. The news of the accident made me think. He was a person just like me, just like a lot of us. For a minute, forget about his extra ordinary talents on the bas ketball court. The man was a college student. He was tired, driving on the highway late at night. I’ve done that a hundred times since I’ve been in college. I’ve never really thought to stop and take a break despite over whelming fatigue. I can see him driving, slow ly nodding off. The hum of the engine seduces him into a zone, a groggy state of con sciousness. Seconds, maybe minutes later, Jerode Banks is dead. A basketball career that could have been is over. More importantly a human life that could have been is over too. They don’t have Silver Taps at Baylor University but rest as sured the death of Jerode Banks will be mourned by his classmates, his teammates, his coaches, and everyone that knew him. It is a sad fact that Banks died so young. Over time it will happen again and again and again . It is a fact of life. It is not something that we can avoid. We do not live in a perfect world. There are no “super-humans.” Appreciate the player in the person, re spect the person in the player. same as me, and I’m not anyone else.” Wente says she feels a pressure to step up her with the departure of the foiii| starters. However, she lieves the talented freshma: class can compensate for loss. “It’s always going to pressure,” she said. “Oil freshmen are really good, pet pie got stronger this sumrat: and everyone’s going to cot tribute a lot of different thinp than what our seniors had,' Corbelli stressed the oven importance of Wente’s preset: on the court. “She’s got a gm rapport with everybody on tl: court, ” he said. “She’s gt everything for us right no« and without her, we wouldn be half the team we are."
