Hoosiers only win one of three

By Beau Wicker · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

The IU baseball team fought hard this weekend in a pivotal Big Ten series with Ohio State, but they were only able to get one victory in three games at Sembower Field. Rainfall cancelled game four, which ruined IU's chance of a series split. The Hoosiers (28-10, 9-6 Big Ten) fell two games behind the first place Buckeyes (23-10-1, 11-4) for the conference lead.

Final hopes

By Jason Recker · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

Of the 26 teams IU played this season, the Hoosiers have only one with which to compare Oklahoma. Not Illinois. Not Louisville. Not Kentucky. After pondering the question several seconds, junior guard Kyle Hornsby started to speak. "The…closest I can come…to comparing them to anybody…might be…Duke," Hornsby said slowly. The Sooners aren't a carbon copy of the Blue Devils, who IU upset in the South Regional Semifinal 74-73, but they are close. OU is strong, physical and any player on the floor can score. The Sooners play tight defense, can beat nearly anyone in a half-court game and can run and dunk with nearly anyone else.

Senate to reopen college gambling debate

By Laurence Arnold · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

Burton grows with race team

By Alyson Brodsy and Jenna Fryer · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

Ward Burton will always cherish his win in the Daytona 500, the biggest victory of his career. But when everything that followed was a disaster, it's easy to forget that moment. Week after week after his season-opening victory, Burton fell deeper and deeper into a miserable slump. He had finishes of 21st or worse 11 times, scored just two top-10 finishes and went to New Hampshire International Speedway last weekend stuck in a rut of finishing 33rd of worse in six of the last seven races.

Fans' lawsuit to continue

By Holly Johnson and Holy Johnson · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

Special judge Cecile Blau ruled Monday to allow 46 plaintiffs to pursue their claim that the IU board of trustees broke the Indiana Open Door Law in firing former men's basketball coach Bobby Knight last September. While Blau ruled Myles Brand was within both the scope of the law and his legal authority as university president in firing Knight, she did acknowledge the plaintiffs' claim that the board met in executive session without public notice. Blau rejected both parties' requests for summary judgment and will allow the suit to commence. In a ruling received by the Monroe County Court Monday, Blau agreed Brand had sole authority to fire Knight, a power designated by the trustees. Blau wrote that the president "had the authority to make, enforce and terminate contracts," thus enabling him to legally fire Knight.

Junior football player arrested

By Cory Schouten · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

An IU football player has been charged with raping a 21-year old female he met at a Bloomington sports bar early Sunday. A plea of not guilty was entered for Clarence Young, 20, at his initial hearing Tuesday. Young faces a charge of class B felony rape, punishable by up to 20 years in jail. According to a jail spokesman, Young was released Monday evening for $500 cash bail on a $20,000 assurity bond. Young's initial hearing has been set for August, said Monroe County Prosecutor Carl Salzmann. The victim was at a bar with friends when she met Young, but she doesn't remember how she ended up at Young's apartment complex, according to police reports. "She remembers being dragged up the sidewalk at Jackson Heights," Salzmann said.

Crushing the Cardinals

By Dan Cortez · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

Junior forward Jeff Newton only had four points Saturday against Ball State. He also had seven rebounds. More importantly, Newton helped the Hoosiers take control of the frontcourt in their 74-61 win at Assembly Hall. With 9:32 left in the first half, Newton blocked the shot of Ball State junior forward Theron Smith. On the Cardinals' next possession, senior guard Patrick Jackson was about to go for a layup on a fast break before he saw Newton fill the lane. Watching Newton the whole way, Jackson had to settle for a 15-foot jump shot that he missed. The sequence set the tone for the rest of the game, with the Cardinals having to rely on jump shooting to keep them close. The Hoosiers (6-2) finished with 40 points in the paint. Ball State (5-2) had just 12. Along with sophomore forward Jared Jeffries and sophomore center George Leach, Newton and IU dominated the lane on both sides of the floor.

Hoosiers loose, ready for Utah

By Dan Cortez · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

SACRAMENTO - Sophomore Jared Jeffries joked with freshman Donald Perry, telling him to dive into press row for a loose ball. Senior Dane Fife wildly applauded every made free throw. IU coach Mike Davis' youngest son, Antoine, entertained girls sitting near the court. And Jeffries capped off the 50-minute workout Wednesday night with an alley-oop off the backboard to Jeff Newton for a reverse dunk. Their recent struggles in the post season still fresh in their minds, the fifth-seeded Hoosiers are not about to be intimidated at the thought of another early exit from the NCAA Tournament. Tonight, at a little after 10 p.m. Bloomington time, IU takes on 12th-seeded Utah in an opening round game in the South bracket at Arco Arena in Sacramento.

Hoosier captains encourage team

By Colin Nowling · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.

Team captains are key to the success of any athletic team. The Hoosier field hockey team is no exception. "As a group, regardless of the condition we are put in (the team captains) have a positive attitude and help bring up the rest of the team even if we are frustrated," freshman forward Ryan Woolsey said. The field hockey captains were selected by their teammates at the beginning of the season. Senior back Akila Jones, senior forward Brooke Magers and junior midfielder Erica Nilsson were selected by their peers to lead the team.

By Dan Cortez · Thursday, July 25,2002 4:23 p.m.
