Cold conditions expected for weekend tourney at Purdue

By Mandy Eid · Friday, April 6,2007 12 a.m.

The IU men’s golf team will travel to West Lafayette tomorrow for the Boilermaker Invitational, its third tournament of the season. The two-day tournament will consist of 54 holes, with par set at 72. The team will play two rounds Saturday and one round Sunday.

Evan Crawford wasn’t ready in fall practices, but with each passing day, the freshman improves by leaps and bounds.

Leaps and bounds

By Tim O Brien , Tim O'Brien and Jeff LaFave · Friday, April 6,2007 12 a.m.

Freshman second baseman Evan Crawford stands near the IU dugout at Sembower Field. The public address announcer goes around the horn, introducing the Hoosiers in the starting lineup. Crawford hears his name, works his way through a gauntlet of high fives from teammates, then jogs around third into shallow left field. He nears the middle of the infield, cartwheels and back flips, landing smoothly and softly behind second base. The pregame flip dates back to IU coach Tracy Smith’s days at Miami of Ohio when one of his players, outfielder Ryne Robinson, did the same move. It was at a fall practice that Crawford told Smith he could perform the flip, too. “(Evan) had talked about it at fall practice,” Smith said. “One time on the turf at practice, he whipped out a bunch of them. They were pretty cool. I liked it. The fans like it.” The IU fans have embraced Crawford – as much for what he does on the field as his pregame acrobatics.

Foreign players unite tennis and education

By Kevin Kane · Wednesday, April 4,2007 12 a.m.

Alba Berdala still remembers the day she left her family, friends and country behind. “That was, I think, the most scary event of my life,” the sophomore IU tennis player said. “It was hard. I had no idea where I was going, no idea what to study. ...(But playing collegiate tennis) was something I knew I wanted to do.”

Helping in any way he can, Powers adjusts to role as tight end, mentor

By John Wustrow · Tuesday, April 3,2007 12 a.m.

Just one year ago, Blake Powers was preparing for another season as the starting quarterback for the IU football team, and Kellen Lewis was a name unknown by many Hoosier fans. Entering this year’s spring practices, the story has changed for both players. Lewis is now the starting quarterback, and Powers has switched over to play tight end for his senior season.

EN GARDE!

By Tom Kir · Monday, April 2,2007 12 a.m.

Basketball. Jogging. Sword fights. It wasn’t the most typical weekend at the Wildermuth Gymnasium. The IU Fencing Club hosted the United States Association of Collegiate Fencing Clubs’ national championships at the School of Health, Physical Education and Recreation this weekend. While most HPER occupants are decked in gym shorts and Under Armour, these patrons donned real armor – and sabers.
