Hoosiers travel to Purdue for invitational

By Eamonn Brennan · Friday, Oct. 8,2004 1:41 a.m.

The preseason is simple: practice, practice and more practice. With the exception of a summer tournament here and there, men's tennis players are usually guided by routine in the weeks leading up to the season. The IU men's tennis team gets a chance to shake off that routine for the first time this weekend at the Purdue Invitational in West Lafayette, which features players from Purdue, Butler, the University of Toledo and Xavier University, in addition to IU. For the players, the Invitational serves as a way to get some much desired match experience.

Hunting provides Hoosiers chance to get mind off football

By Dan Click · Friday, Oct. 8,2004 1:39 a.m.

Rods, reels, camouflage, shotguns and shells -- not exactly a description of football, but for a select few on the IU football team, that is how they spend their time after the drills and whistles end and the final horn sounds.

Setting their sights

By Dan Patrick · Friday, Oct. 8,2004 1:38 a.m.

By Alyson Brodsy · Thursday, Oct. 7,2004 1:42 a.m.

Astros 9, Braves 3 ATLANTA -- The Killer B's didn't have to go it alone. Roger Clemens and the powerful Houston lineup made sure the Astros got off to a good start in their quest to finally win a playoff series. While Clemens continually pitched out of trouble, Brad Ausmus, Lance Berkman, Carlos Beltran and Jason Lane hit homeruns for the Astros to lead a 9-3 rout of the Atlanta Braves in Game 1 of their NL division series Wednesday. The Astros set a franchise record for runs in a postseason game. They twice scored seven while losing to Philadelphia in the 1980 National League Championship Series -- the first of their seven straight playoff series losses.

Colts get passing grades on tough opening

By Alyson Brodsy and Michael Marot · Thursday, Oct. 7,2004 1:18 a.m.

INDIANAPOLIS -- The NFL schedule-makers sent Indianapolis an early message. Play well in the opening month, and it could lead to a better finish. Four weeks into the season, the Colts have done their part. They are 3-1 and hold a distinct advantage in the AFC South after wins at Tennessee and Jacksonville. But the players understand there's still more to do. "I don't really know what we've done yet," quarterback Peyton Manning said. "We're 3-1, but that means absolutely nothing now." Manning, last year's co-MVP, called the opening obstacle course the most challenging start of his seven-year NFL career.

Former teammates predict Williams retirement will last

By Alyson Brodsy and Steven Wine · Thursday, Oct. 7,2004 1:17 a.m.

DAVIE, Fla. -- With running back Ricky Williams ready to reverse directions and come out of retirement, his former Miami Dolphins' teammates were mixed in their reaction Wednesday. Defensive end David Bowens said he would like to see Williams rejoin the Dolphins, in part because they're 0-4. But Pro Bowl linebacker Zach Thomas said he doubted that help from Williams is on the way. "He will not be playing for the Dolphins," Thomas predicted. "He's got too many things with the fans and too much with the media, and that's the reason he ran from it in the first place. He wouldn't come back here." Thomas might be right. Gary Ostrow, an attorney who has represented Williams, said the 2002 NFL rushing champion hopes to receive clearance from the league to play again before the Oct. 19 trade deadline so he can be dealt by Miami.

Working toward total net results

By Ricardo Hernandez · Thursday, Oct. 7,2004 1:09 a.m.

At about 7 a.m., sophomore Liz Davis wakes up and gets prepared for the day ahead of her. After getting dressed, brushing her teeth and all of the other morning rituals, Davis departs for her 8 a.m. class. Normally, she would have classes until noon and then wait until soccer practice later that afternoon. But instead, Davis now makes a detour to receive treatment for a stress fracture she developed during the preseason. Because of injury, Davis has decided to redshirt her sophomore season at IU. Davis already has experience on the field after playing in 12 games in 2003 and was looking forward to this year's competition. After being named the 2002 Indiana Girls High School Soccer Player of the Year while starting four years on North Central's varsity team, she arrived at IU with high goals -- on and off of the field.

Phelps leads USA into World Swimming Championships

By Josh Weinfus and Josh Weinfuss · Thursday, Oct. 7,2004 1:05 a.m.

INDIANAPOLIS -- Michael Phelps wants his shoulders to hurt. He's ready to put the weight of American swimming on his back, and carry it into the spotlight as a mainstream sport. "I want to be able to change the sport of swimming, in and out of the pool," Phelps said. After taking home eight medals -- six gold and two bronze -- in Athens, Greece last month, this weekend will be his chance to bring attention to American swimming.

Kentucky packs defense versus IU

By Brian Janosch · Thursday, Oct. 7,2004 1:03 a.m.

When the Hoosier men's soccer team went to Lexington Wednesday night, the Wildcats played for a shutout and that's what they got. The University of Kentucky packed all but one player into the defense at times versus the Hoosiers, leading to an eventual 0-0 score after double overtime. IU was still able to muster up 15 shots, many of which were from 20 yards out. "Soccer is a hard enough game to score in," head coach Mike Freitag said. "But when a team packs in with nine players it's even more difficult. That was not a good game for college soccer." The Hoosiers were able to hold possession for much of the match, but the six defenders played by Kentucky were just too much for the two forward offense of IU.

By Bill Meehan · Wednesday, Oct. 6,2004 1:21 a.m.

Carmen Mirochna and Fran O'Rourke decided to join the IU rowing team's coaching staff this year for several reasons, but the main attraction was the man who would be their boss. IU rowing head coach Steve Peterson is so willing to look at new ways of doing things in the country's oldest intercollegiate sport that the two assistants did not want to pass up the opportunity to work with him.

Twins open series with shutout

By Alyson Brodsy · Wednesday, Oct. 6,2004 1:16 a.m.

NEW YORK -- Johan Santana and the Minnesota Twins' dazzling defense had the New York Yankees seeing double. Santana and the Twins escaped trouble with the help of a record-setting five double plays, Jacque Jones homered in his first start since the death of his father, and the Twins beat the Yankees 2-0 Tuesday night to win their eighth straight opener in a postseason series. Minnesota's Soul Patrol outfield twice denied the Yankees with jumping catches -- left fielder Shannon Stewart saved one run and possibly two on Ruben Sierra's shot in the second, and center fielder Torii Hunter pulled in an eighth-inning drive by Alex Rodriguez at the top of the wall.

By Chris Hopper · Wednesday, Oct. 6,2004 12:25 a.m.

There are many different aspects that can define a Hoosier. Car racing, basketball, corn -- they all represent Indiana in a special way. The card game Euchre is another that sets a Hoosier apart from a resident of any other state.
