By CARLOS MURGUIA

Sophomore Sheila Calmese picked up where she left off last year, successfully defending her Big Eight crowns in the 100- and 200-meter runs at the Big Eight Conference Championships in Norman, Okla. during the weekend.
Calmise won the 100-meter run in a time of 11.86 and the 200-meter run in a time of 24.17. Her time in the 200 is a Big Eight record, her time in the 200 is a new record, of 24.3 in the event, set last year.
"SHEILA WAS definitely the star of the team," KU women's track coach Tert Anderson said. "Not only did she defend her title, but she also ran on the two winning relay teams. She put out a great individual effort."
Calmese has now won Big Eight titles in the indoor 60- and 220-diameter and in the outdoor 100- and 200-meter runs for two years in a row.
Iowa State won the Big Eight Conference title by finishing with 165 points. Nebraska finished second with 97, KU third with 95 and KState fourth with 89.
Although Iowa State dominated the meet,
Anderson said she was pleased with KU's performance.
"We moved up from a fifth-place finish last year to an almost second-place finish this time." Anderson said. "I was pleased that we were able to and tried their hardest to the very end."

DALLAS (AP)—Tom Watson, tied twice by Lee Trevino yesterday, responded to the pressure with a boyish grin and some magnificent shots down the stretch, finally winning the $200,000 Byron Nelson Golf Classic by one stroke.
Watson finished his four-under-par 66 final round with a fine chip shot on the 18th hole, saving par three and clinching the $40.00 first prize.

"I THOUGHT I was serving pretty well but they did a great job of returning." Lutz said. "They didn't miss any at all. We expected Fibtail to return but Tom surprised us with returns off his backhand, which is his weaker side."
After falling behind the two games in the second set, Fikak and Oker posted consecutive breaks of Lutz and then held service to even the match at 1-1. The winners then took eight of a possible nine points to Smith and Lutz at the start of the third set.
Service breaks of Smith in the fifth and final games of the fourth game gave Fibak and Okker a measure of revenge for last year, but this time the team finished a disappointing third.
Smith and Lutz encountered service difficulties as the match wore on. Lutz was broken three times and went to deuce on two other occasions in his nine services. Smith was broken four times and at deuce once in 10 services.
"I'd have liked to play the match later but television seems to run everything." Lutz said. "Last night and today seemed to blend into one day.
"They played very well," Lutz said. "We wanted to start off well because Tom is a front runner. We figured if we got in front he might get a little disusted and Wojtek would have a tough time keeping him in the match."
The match started at noon to accommodate a national television audience.

However, that flashback only lasted one set.
But that was the last flicker of glory for the proud Americans, who went on to lose the second set, the match and the $80,000. But that was a better result, the raker rallied to poast a 6-7, 6-4, 6-4, 5-3 victory.
