Narrative:
After reaching 80 knots the non-flying pilot (first officer) stated '80 knots;' and that his airspeed indicator had no airspeed. As pilot flying I stated as per fom 'reject; my aircraft.' the reject occurred below 90 knots as the auto brakes were armed; but not activated. The deceleration was smooth. We required no assistance. We taxied to the hard stand just to verify the brake cooling chart. After verifying the brake cooling chart we taxied to the gate. Maintenance met us; replaced the faulty airspeed indicator and sent us on our way after insuring that the brakes were cool according to the brake cooling chart.

Title: B737-400 Captain is informed during takeoff that his First Officer has no airspeed indication and the takeoff is rejected.
Narrative: After reaching 80 knots the non-flying pilot (F/O) stated '80 Knots;' and that his airspeed indicator had no airspeed. As pilot flying I stated as per FOM 'Reject; My Aircraft.' The reject occurred below 90 knots as the auto brakes were armed; but not activated. The deceleration was smooth. We required no assistance. We taxied to the hard stand just to verify the brake cooling chart. After verifying the brake cooling chart we taxied to the gate. Maintenance met us; replaced the faulty airspeed indicator and sent us on our way after insuring that the brakes were cool according to the brake cooling chart.
