Seniors say farewell

By Jeff Fuldauer · Friday, May 7,2004 1:11 a.m.

This spring the IU women's tennis team says goodbye to three seniors who have been crucial in the Hoosiers run at claiming a share of this year's Big Ten title. Seniors Martina Grimm, Karie Schlukebir and Linda Tran depart from Bloomington after each left her mark in the IU record book. Tran, a telecommunications major from Grand Rapids, Mich., played most of the 2004 season in the No. 2 singles position and in several different doubles combinations. Teaming with sophomore Sarah Batty, Tran climbed the Intercollegiate Tennis Association's doubles national rankings to No. 26, posting a 12-1 record and going undefeated in Big Ten play. Instrumental in several of IU's biggest upsets, Tran led the IU doubles lineup in winning the doubles point against higher-ranked Wisconsin, Michigan and Illinois, a match which helped clinch a share of the Big Ten regular season title.

Cubs bats wake up, pound D-backs

By Alyson Brodsy and Rick Gano · Friday, May 7,2004 1:08 a.m.

CHICAGO -- Derrek Lee is finally feeling at home with the Chicago Cubs. Lee went 5-for-5, including a three-run homer, and had five RBIs Thursday as the Cubs beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 11-3 to avoid a three-game sweep. "It was just one of those days, it seemed like every pitch I was looking for was there for me," Lee said. "I was aggressive with it and got a good swing on them and was able to get some hits. "You're not going to be able to go 5-for-5 every day. I don't think I'd ever gotten five hits before. It was a great day. It was a lot of fun out there," he said.

Cardinals get more relief than expected

By Alyson Brodsy · Friday, May 7,2004 12:49 a.m.

PHILADELPHIA -- St. Louis manager Tony La Russa expected a high-scoring game where the bullpens would get stretched thin. Instead, the Cardinals' relievers kept it under control. Hector Luna's three-run homer capped a five-run first inning and the Cardinals got three scoreless innings from five relievers for a 7-4 win over the Philadelphia Phillies on Thursday. "It looked like it would be a 12-10 game," La Russa said. "Our bullpen had a great series. This is a tough park to pitch."

Professor of the pigskin

By Alex Hickey · Monday, May 3,2004 2:39 a.m.

Students and colleagues of African-American Studies professor John McCluskey might know of his Harvard education. But he's less likely to reveal to them a piece of information that might win a few bar bets and prove his role as a football pioneer. McCluskey, who played for Harvard from 1962-65, was the first black student to start at quarterback in the history of the Ivy League. "The Boston paper had a headline that said I was the first black quarterback (at Harvard) in 350 years," McCluskey said.

Visiting arch-rival Purdue arrived at the stadium Saturday for the annual dual-meet to rain and both IU and Purdue decided to cancel the meet.
