Pre-trial decision to be made in Hardy case

·

On Monday, IU wide receiver James Hardy appeared in Allen County Court for his second pre-trial hearing, stemming from his domestic battery charge on May 16. Hardy and his lawyer, Randall Hammond, made their second pre-trial request to Superior Court Magistrate Robert Ross asking for statements by the alleged victim, Kyra Nolan, to be stricken from the record. "We filed a motion to prevent the state from using a 911 tape recording," Hammond said. According to state law, a 911 tape recording cannot be used as a defense unless it is proven the 911 call took place during an emergency. "The call occurred well after the event and was not an ongoing emergency," Hammond said. "Therefore, the state will not be able to play the tape at the trial."

Frohlich, Fever catch fire in 71-65 win over Mercury

·

INDIANAPOLIS -- Linda Frohlich's patience paid off for the Indiana Fever. The German forward scored a career-high 15 points to help the Fever beat the Phoenix Mercury 71-65 on Tuesday. Frohlich, who was waived by the Charlotte Sting and Phoenix before coming to the Fever as a free agent, had scored only 36 points this season and stayed on the bench in 10 games. But she hit three 3-pointers against the Mercury, including one that gave Indiana the lead for good late in the game.

World Cup fever sweeps IU

·

Once every four years, IU senior John Dabkowski is a nervous wreck. But the native of Sittingbourne, England has no exams to take, no papers to write and no projects to submit. He's worried about something much more important to him, the World Cup. "The World Cup is such an important event in England," Dabkowski said. "The emotional roller coaster that it puts me through is unexplainable. But I love it."

Federer wins 4th Wimbledon title

·

WIMBLEDON, England -- Nobody can stop Roger Federer on grass. No. 1 got even against No. 2 as Federer ended a five-match losing streak to Rafael Nadal on Sunday, winning 6-0, 7-6 (5), 6-7 (2), 6-3 to earn his fourth straight Wimbledon title and eighth Grand Slam championship . Nadal had beaten Federer in four finals this year, including at the French Open last month, but couldn't match him on the Swiss star's favorite surface. Not here, not in my house, not on Centre Court, not on the biggest stage in tennis. That was Federer's response to the 20-year-old Spaniard's challenge.

Harrington, Wells open to possible return to Indiana

·

INDIANAPOLIS -- Peja Stojakovic's departure could provide an opening for Al Harrington to return to the Indiana Pacers. Harrington, who played the first six years of his NBA career with Indiana, is an unrestricted free agent who played the past two seasons with the Atlanta Hawks. "I know there has been some interest there in Indiana," Harrington said of a possible return to the Pacers. "I've always considered Indiana home. To come back, it would be like I never left." The Pacers also reportedly are interested in Sacramento's Bonzi Wells, an Indiana native who played at Muncie Central High School and at Ball State.

A leaving legend

DETROIT -- Steve Yzerman has laced up his skates for the Red Wings for the last time. That doesn't mean Hockeytown has to say goodbye to the longtime Detroit captain. Yzerman, who led the Red Wings to three Stanley Cup titles and spent his entire 23-year NHL career in Detroit, retired from playing Monday, but said he plans to stay in the organization while devoting more time to his family. "I look forward to a future in the game of hockey with the Red Wings in some aspect," Yzerman said as he announced his retirement at Joe Louis Arena, his home away from home for years.

Fever's Whitmore putting up All-Star numbers

·

INDIANAPOLIS -- Tamika Whitmore's favorite player is Dennis Rodman, so it makes sense that she has taken great pride in being a superstar's sidekick for the Indiana Fever. While Michael Jordan got the glory for the Chicago Bulls, Rodman grabbed rebounds and played lockdown defense while winning NBA titles. And while Tamika Catchings has become an MVP candidate for the Fever, Whitmore has pushed her way into All-Star contention by embracing her role as the ultimate team player. She has averaged a team-best 16.2 points to help the Fever start the WNBA season at 12-6. Indiana coach Brian Winters said Whitmore has proven that she deserves to make the first All-Star appearance of her eight-year career, but the final selections won't be made until later this week.
