UNDATED (AP) - Florida re
mained No. 1 in The Associated
Press college football poll on
Tuesday, while Nebraska
jumped to No. 2 after routing
West Virginia in the Kickoff
Classic.
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

sic. The Pigskin and Kick!
Classics were the only game:

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.

man” skills were
enough save his life.
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."
