Baylor mourners remember slain \nbasketball player\nWACO, Texas -- A piano and an organ played the comforting strands of "It is Well With My Soul" as somber students and faculty members gathered Thursday night to remember slain Baylor basketball player Patrick Dennehy.\nA simple arrangement of flowers sat beneath a tall stained glass window at the front of Powell Chapel, as grieving friends and family joined those who never knew Dennehy in paying tribute to the 6-foot-10 forward whose body was found last month.\n"We mourn the death, but even more we celebrate the life of Patrick Dennehy," Todd Lake, Baylor's dean of university ministries, told the crowd of 300 before school president Robert Sloan led a prayer asking for God's comfort and grace.

White becomes first woman to win 100 and 200\nSAINT-DENIS, France -- Kelli White has spent the World Championships downplaying comparisons to Marion Jones. She can't avoid them now.\nWhite captured the gold medal in the 200 meters Thursday night -- four days after winning the 100 title -- to become the first American woman to win both sprints at one world meet. Jones has never done that.\nJones, who had been the defending champion in the 200, is taking time off after giving birth to a son in late June. The winner of an unprecedented five track medals at the 2000 Sydney Olympics, she plans to return for the 2004 Athens Games.\n"I can only be Kelli White. I don't think I can be anybody else," White said. "I made a mark for myself and I hope I'll be appreciated for who I am. A lot of the women here feel underappreciated, and I think we've all proven that we can run very fast"
