It's Little 500 time

By Katie Schoenbaechler and Katie Shoenbaechler · Friday, April 15,2005 2:32 a.m.

As students slowed down their schoolwork and began to prepare for the "World's Greatest College Weekend," Little 500 riders began to slow down too. But their adjustment was different, as they prepare for Saturday's 55th running of the men's Little 500 at Bill Armstrong Stadium. The men cut back their training to be at full strength for the race and prepared to get in the mindset to be in front on the 199th lap.

The field is determined. The riders are ready. The track is set.

By Andy Romey · Friday, April 15,2005 2:32 a.m.

Like a fine wine, the quality of the women's Little 500 race improves each year, and this year, the race's value skyrocketed. Today's Little 500, scheduled to begin at 4 p.m. at Bill Armstrong Stadium, will bring 32 teams together all with the same dream of celebrating after lap 100. But unlike years past, there are more than just a couple of teams threatening to win it all.

Kappa Kappa Gamma rides to remember Crouse

By Brian Janosch · Friday, April 15,2005 2:32 a.m.

Some things are bigger than sport. For an entire year, Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority's primary focus rested on winning its second consecutive Little 500. That was until a gray Honda station wagon collided with a red Jeep Cherokee right outside the Kappa house late Monday evening. Kappa sorority member and former Little 500 teammate Ashley Crouse was in the backseat of the Jeep. She was pronounced dead early Tuesday morning.

By Andrew Shaffer · Friday, April 15,2005 2:27 a.m.

In the fifth inning of the first game against Minnesota last week, junior second baseman Jay Brant received a ground ball hop straight to his jaw. Brant left the game and consequently lost his 19-game hitting streak, the longest such streak by a Hoosier this season.

Boston takes game while NY takes hits

By Alyson Brodsy and Howard Ulman · Friday, April 15,2005 1:50 a.m.

BOSTON -- The New York Yankees got into another scuffle with fans on a testy night at Fenway Park. This time, Gary Sheffield was in the middle of it. Sheffield was fielding Jason Varitek's two-run triple along the right-field fence in the eighth inning of Boston's 8-5 victory Thursday night when a fan swung a short uppercut in his direction, appearing to graze the side of the slugger's face with his right arm.

The greatest college weekend?

By Matt Glenesk · Friday, April 15,2005 1:41 a.m.

The self-proclaimed "World's Greatest College Weekend" is upon us. That sounds awfully presumptuous, and I myself have doubts about Little 500. To believe that a late April weekend in Indiana has been termed the greatest of anything comes as a surprise to this Florida transplant. I would expect maybe the greatest ratio of tooth decay, but the "World's Greatest College Weekend?" Wow, that's a tough pill to swallow.

Wanted: Fans to fill stands

By John Rodgers · Thursday, April 14,2005 2:06 a.m.

Tim Fitzpatrick knows he can't change the past. He's just trying to learn from it. As Associate Athletics Director for External Operations, Fitzpatrick is leading the athletics department's marketing team to revive recent years' sluggish IU football ticket sales. While the team's losses have mounted, season ticket sales have dropped by nearly one-third compared to five years ago among the general public and the student body, according to the IU Athletic Ticket Office.
