SAN DIEGO UNION ;( ';) I~ RENNERT OUSTS USD'S LIPTON Spec,al to TIie San Diego Un,on ATHENS, Ga. - Top-seeded Peter Rennert of Stanford lopped Pepperdine's Eddie Edwards, 3-6, 6-2, 6-4, yeser- day to move into the semifinals of the 96th National Collegiate Athletic Association tennis championships. Earlier, in the round of 16, Rennert ousted USD's Scott Lipton, 6-3, 6-1. "He's a great player, " said Lipton of his conqueror. "I'm glad I got a chance to play him before he turns pro and makes millions of dollars. "I thought he was having a little trouble with his forehand and I was going to exploit that. But he kept on hitting 11 and making the best of it. W_hen he hit it, he'd dnve me way off the court and then his drop shots were killmg me. He's got great diversity." Today Rennert will play Ohio State's Ernie Fernandez, who lopped second-seeded Jay Lapidus of Princeton in the third round, 4-6, 6-2, 7-5, before turning back Tennes- see's Rodney Harmon, 1-6, 7-6, 6-4, in the quarterfinals.
