Cubs fans have varied views of 'curse'

By Mike Malik · Monday, Oct. 20,2003 2:44 a.m.

CHICAGO -- The ivy along the outfield wall at Wrigley Field was an uncharacteristic red during the Cubs' loss to the Florida Marlins last week. The rumors about the "Billy Goat Curse" have been flying around ever since. The Billy Goat Curse has roots back to the 1945 World Series, the last time the Cubs were in the final series of the season. The goat was not allowed in the stadium as it was in previous years for good luck. The owner of the goat that put a curse on the Cubs said they would never be in the World Series again.

Basketball is finally here

By Natalie A. Trout · Monday, Oct. 20,2003 2:03 a.m.

Madness doesn't even begin to describe the players and crowd Friday night. Only a few hours before the public was released into the gym for Midnight Madness, one could have heard a pin drop on the court. But come 12:01 a.m., Assembly Hall exploded with screaming fans. "So many people came here to support us," freshman forward Patrick Ewing Jr. said. "There's nothing like it." What really got the crowd pumped was the slam-dunk contest. Senior center George Leach, Ewing Jr., senior forward Jason Stewart, junior guard Donald Perry and freshman guard Roderick Wilmont all took their best shots at pleasing a panel of judges from the Student Athletic Board. Leach led the group of slam-dunkers with an impressive one-hand dunk, but Ewing Jr. showed him up by hanging from the basket with his arm in the net. The second time around, Leach got a little encouragement from the crowd before attempting his next couple of dunks, but was unsuccessful at making the basket.
