Runners travel for marathon

T here a re som e crazy people runn ing around this cam pus. I’m not joking — they are crazy, and they really a re running. A lot. My room ­m ate from last year belongs to th is group of peo­ple.

Jenn s ta rted train ing for the LaSalle Bank Chicago M arathon this sum m er, and since the beginning of h e r reg i­m ent, she has ru n m ore th an 396 miles. I know of four specific instances inwhich she has persevered for 20 miles. In a row.

I am truly am azed a t the dedication it takes to p rep a re for an event as grueling as a m ara thon , and even m ore im pressed th a t so m any Dom ers have been juggling running, academ ics and ex tra cu rricu lar activities in an effort to prim e the ir bodies for Chicago’s 26.2 mile course. At least 42 studen ts from N otre Dam e will head w est this w eekend, and m any of them will be w earing Notre Dame track singlets p rocu red from the Issue Office in an effort to show Irish spirit d u r­ing the race. Kudos to you, Jenn , for com ing up w ith and following th rough on such a g rea t idea.

Chicago boasts th a t its m ara th o n is the fastest in the world: Khalid K hannouchi se t a W orld Record tim e of 2:05:42 in 1999. I though t I m ight have a chance a t beating th a t until I re a l­ized it w as two hours, not two days. But this Sunday, 37,500 people a re going to begin ru n ­ning a t 7:30 a.m .; som e in an effort to b ea t this record, som e to m eet th e ir own personal goals, and others ju s t to cross the finish line before the race coordinators begin to disassem ble it.

Cheering the ru n n ers on will be 900,000 spec­tators, m any of w hom com e to enjoy the various events stationed around the course. Bands, sponsoring organizations, and a m ultitude of groups offer fun, en terta in m en t o r distraction for crowds during a race th a t for som e ru n n ers will last alm ost six hours.

Many participan ts w ondered if the m ara thon would rem ain scheduled for Oct. 7 in light of our recen t national tragedy, bu t event cha irm an M ark Nystuen said, “The trium ph of ou r nation over this adversity will be, I believe, beautifully reflected in the spirit and resolve of our m any runners on Race Day.” In addition to fostering national spirit, LaSalle Bank is w orking to help The A m erican Red Cross N ational D isaster Relief Fund by accepting donations th roughou t Race Day and a t the p re -race H ealth Expo on Saturday.

So, w h a t’s my purpose in w riting an entire col­um n about a very, very, insanely long race? It’s an attem pt to convince as m any people as possi­ble to take a trip to Chicago this w eekend to cheer on classm ates, friends and s tran g e rs in the ir pursu it of d ream s, goals and records. I know w ithout a doubt th a t I could not ru n 26.2 miles, bu t if I w ere going to try, it would m ake a world of difference to know th a t people had tra v ­eled to support m e. It is quite a different caliber than the high school cross country m eets in which you cheer on the ru n n ers a t the beginning of the race, w atch them d isappear, w ait for the next th ree miles, and then cheer them on w hen they rea p p ea r to finish the course.

The Kitty Hawk will serve as a float­ing base for other forces, defense offi­cials said.

In keeping with the adm inistration’s policy of not discussing details of mili­tary activities related to the an ti-terror cam paign , the Navy w ould no t com ­m ent except to say the Kitty Hawk does not have its usual num ber of a irc raft

aboard.Two defense officials, sp eak in g on

Lt. Cmdr. Jeff Gordon, a spokesm an a t Pacific Fleet headquarte rs in Hawaii, said the Kitty Hawk left a portion of its 75-plane a ir wing behind a t Atsugi Air B a se in J a p a n w h e n it d e p a r te d Monday.

Should taxpayers pay for research on em bryonic stem cells? The answ er offered, w ith evident sincerity, by P residen t Bush is neither m oral nor capable of practical limitation.

In its earliest days, the em bryo is a living hum an com posed of stem cells, each of which can develop into all o r m any of the m ore than 200 tis­sues in the hum an body. If stem cells a re rem oved to a dish they can rep len ish them ­selves in “lines,” perhaps indefi­nitely. Stem cells can also be obtained from adults, in bone m arrow and other sources. Scientists hope th a t research on stem cells, w hether from em bryos or adults, can lead to relief for som e dis­eases, including P arkinson’s, A lzheim er’s and others.

No m oral problem s arise in the use of stem cells derived from adults. But to obtain stem cells from a hum an em bryo requ ires the rem oval of the inner cell m ass w hich term inates the life of tha t em bryo.

P residen t Bush said: “We do not end som e lives for the m edical benefit of o th­ers ... ,[T]hat life, including early life, is biologically hum an, genetically distinct and valuable. [We can] prom ote stem cell resea rch w ith o u t... ethical abuses. First, we can encourage research on stem cells rem oved from sources o ther than em bryos ... . Second, we can encourage . resea rch on em bryonic stem cell lines th a t a lready e x is t .... Therefore ...[flederal funding for research on existing

stem cell lines will move forw ard; federal funding th a t sanctions or encourages the destruction of additional em bryos will not. While it is unethical to end life in m edical research , it is ethical to benefit from research w here life and death deci­sions have already been m ade.”

Bush approved funding on cell lines “derived (1) with the inform ed consent of donors, (2) from excess em bryos created solely for reproductive purposes and (3) w ithout any financial inducem ent to the donors.” His policy differs from National Institutes of Health guidelines, issued in 2000, only in th a t he would not fund research on lines created after his Aug. 9 announcem ent.

One question is w hether the paren ts of an em bryo have standing to consent to the killing of the ir child so th a t his body can be used for research . And proper consent obviously is absen t w here em bryos are created for the purpose of killing them to obtain the ir stem cells.

A part from consent, the decision to fund research on existing cell lines is not intrinsically w rong. With p roper consent, one can m orally use the body of a m u r­der victim for research . But the Bush pol­icy is im m oral for circum stantial reasons.

The policy “encourages” scientists to kill m ore em bryos by extracting their stem cells in the hope of persuading the governm ent to fund research on them . And it “encourages” the creation of em bryos for the specific purpose of killing them and seeking federal funding for such research . P ressure for funding of new cell lines will be irresistible because the Bush policy already con­cedes the legitim acy of funding research on stem cells after em bryos have been killed.

The Bush policy involves the govern­m ent in scandalous complicity in m urder, both as to existing cell lines and especial­ly as to any lines created in the future.

Rem em ber: Each of us is a form er em bryo. Each and every killing of a hum an em bryo by rem oval of the stem cells is, in m oral term s, a homicide. It is no defense th a t the victims w ere going to die anyway. A ren ’t we all? Nor is it a defense th a t the research will benefit older hum an beings, as w hen the Nazis and Japanese , in World W ar II, used prisoners in lethal experim ents. And if we can kill innocent hum an beings to use the ir bodies to save lives, w hat conclu­sive objection can the re be to killing them to m ake lam pshades?

U nder “Roe v. W ade,” the unborn child is a nonperson until birth and therefore destruction of the em bryo is a constitu­tional right. P residen t Bush missed an opportunity to challenge th a t nonperson- hood of the youngest hum an beings. His focus only on funding implicitly concedes the legitimacy, u nder Roe, of the research itself, of homicide as a scientific technique. This carries us fu rthe r down the path charted by of the contraceptive ethic in which m an m akes him self (or herself) the a rb ite r of w hether and when life shall begin (and, implicitly, end).

The Bush policy, as the Pennsylvania Catholic Conference pu t it, puts Am erica “on a dangerous path in which govern­m ent endorses the death of one for the potential cure of another. [Instead], sci­entific advancem ents th a t cooperate with God's plan for life and love are the su rest m eans of alleviating suffering and build­ing up the dignity of m an and the sanctity of life.”

Holy water blesses; pornography harms

Editor’s note: “On the Way" is the Campus Ministry’s question and answer column that will appear every other Tuesday. Please direct questions concerning the prac­tices and principles o f Catholicism to Father J. Steele at ministry. 1 @nd. edu.

Why do C atholics b less th em se lv es with holy w ater?

Holy w ate r fonts, those little dipping bowls n e a r the en tran ce of a Church, have a long and splendid history. They date back to the ea rlies t churches in the Roman period afte r Constantine w hen one passed th rough an open court w ith a fountain at the cen ter to en ter a church.

While the liturgy w as going on, two groups of people would Father J.rem ain in the court, the penitents and the catechum ens. S te e le

The penitents, a te rm som etim es still used for people w aiting --------------------------to go to confession, w ere those w ho because of serious sin hadto rem ain outside the church for periods of up to several years. On the Way

The catechum ens, an o th er te rm still in use, w ere those p reparing for baptism . The fonts, used for baptism , w ere often octagonal and frequently had th ree steps down into the w ater.The octagonal shape referred to a com m on design for Rom an m ausoleum s and the th ree steps suggested Jesu s’ th ree days in the tom b before the resurrection .Baptism , then as now, is a com m itm ent to die to sin so th a t we m ay rise to new life in Christ.

While the court of the penitents has d isappeared as a fea tu re of church arch itec­tu re , vestiges of it still rem ained th rough the centuries. One of them is the holy w ater font. Since the Second V atican Council the Church has re-em phasized the value and m eaning of baptism . Thus, in recen t years, th e re has been an arch itec tu ral develop­m en t which harkens back to the baptism al courts of ea rlie r tim es. Large baptism al founts have been built n ea r the en trances of churches helping us to recall the origi­nal m eaning of blessing ourselves upon en tering a Church. The Basilica’s newly ren ­ovated and relocated baptism al font w ith its octagonal form and im pressive size is an excellent exam ple of this developm ent.

So, w hen w e bless ourselves upon en tering a Church we join the generations of Christians who regularly recalled and recom m itted them selves to the ir Baptism , an ongoing death to sin so as to live in the light of th e Gospel.

Nobody g e t s hurt, so w hat’s wrong with pornography?

Since the rise of the In ternet in the last few years, the question of pornography has becom e alm ost com m onplace. As a confessor on a college cam pus and from plenty of conversations I can say w ith som e certain ty th a t m ost young m en have had some exposure to pornography and an apparen tly grow ing num ber have becom e com pul­sive in the ir reso rt to pornography and sexual fantasy. Seemingly, no one gets hurt. So w hat difference does it m ake?

Plenty. For the guy who is beginning to rely on pornography and fantasy to allay anxiety, stress, loneliness, boredom , etc, the escape is m inim al and tem porary. W orse, he now re tu rn s to his previous em otions w ith the added burden of sham e. This m ay set him up for ano ther episode. With succeeding episodes th e re is a daw n­ing aw areness th a t one is losing control. Certainly, not everyone w ho looks a t porn will becom e compulsive about it, bu t all cu rren t studies show th a t sexual addictions are sharply increasing. Even if one does not becom e addicted, the sam e dynam ic of sh am e-and -re tu rn often apply.

And the re a re spiritual reasons pornography should be avoided. The C hurch’s long and consistent teaching on sexuality tells us th a t the expression of intim ate love (as well as the possibility of procreation) is an essential elem ent of sexual expression. Pornographic im ages do not depict a loving encoun ter but som ething im personal and base. These im ages can “teach ” the view er w rong ideas about sexuality which m ay be carried over into a m arriage relationship. I would not w an t a sister or daugh ter of m ine to m arry a m an w hose ideas of sexuality w ere form ed by years of viewing pornography.

The question of pornography always re tu rn s us to the design of God in m aking us sexual beings. God is not asham ed of sex. God m ade our sexuality, along with all cre­ation, and has pronounced it good. According to John Paul II, w hen sex is the expression of com plete se lf-su rrender to the o ther, w hen it says I am yours and you are m ine, com pletely and w ithout reservation w ithin the context of m arriage, it is an experience th a t is holy. Sex should be sacred . And th a t is the best reason to avoid pornography.

Carey continues hip-pop trend in GlitterBy LAURA RO M PFScene M usic Critic

Reviewing a M ariah Carey album is a lot like F orrest G um p’s life theory abou t a box of chocolate: “You never know w hat you’re gonna get.” Some songs a re te r r i­ble, w hile o th e rs — the obvious singles ensuring album sales — are fun, catchy, pop classics.

Carey’s la test album , Glitter, is also the so u n d tra c k to h e r a c tin g d e b u t in th e m otion p ic tu re w ith th e sa m e tit le . No one has or ever will doubt Carey’s ta len t as a v ocalis t. W ith an 8 -o c ta v e ra n g e , Carey can h it n o tes th a t w ould d rive a deaf dog crazy.

H ow ever on G litter, Carey follows h e r recen t tren d of moving tow ards hip-hop songs, such as H ea rtb reak er o r Fantasy, and aw ay from trad itional pop songs, like Emotions or Hero. These songs, w hich do not show case h e r vocal skills as clearly,

Quite a laund ry list o f nam es for an y ­one w ho w atches BET. The first single off the album “Loverboy” h as a rem ix fe a ­tu ring! Da Brat, Ludacris, Tw enty II and Shaw nna. Co-w ritten by Carey, the single had a slow s ta r t on the pop ch arts over th e s u m m e r , b u t a f t e r i ts c o s t w a s decreased , the song began heavy ro tation on the airw aves and sta rted clim bing the charts . W hile th e re a re no d istinct lyrics fans can sing along to, the up-tem po b ea t itself is quite catchy and Carey’s distinc­tive voice handles the melody with ease.

“If W e,” the th ird trac k on the album , gives the sam e so rt of feeling bu t is d is­tinct from “Loverboy.” F eatu ring J a Rule and N ate Dog, the song s ta rts off w ith a clever hook th a t sounds like it is being played by the chim es on a m usic box.

bu t m oves very slowly, lacking novel m elodies o r lyrics.

T h e n F is h e r f r e s h m a n Lee Gettler w as called for pass in te r­ference and O’Neill had the ball a t th e 1 0 -y a rd line . T he W ave d e fe n se s te p p e d u p a s it h a d done all gam e, w ith ano ther sack and then an in tercep tion as tim e ran out.

“T h a t show ed w h a t o u r team w as m ade of, w e had our backs against the w all,” F isher cap ta in Ray A ftandilians said . “W e d is­agreed with th a t call bu t we put tha t behind us and stuck it ou t.”

O’Neill is a team th a t has h a n ­dled setbacks before.

T rav is Sm ith sa id tw o or th ree quality Ram bler drives would be enough to defeat Knott.

On S u n d a y , h is t e a m m a te s proved him right.

The R am bler offense had a big day as Siegfried w ent on to win th e B a ttle o f Mod Q uad , 21-7. Q uarte rback Rob Plumby led the w ay, com pleting 7 of 13 passes w ith th ree touchdow ns and one in terception.

He c re d ited m uch o f h is effi­c ie n c y to S tev e M y rte r , E ddy V u lin , V iace S ic ia la n o , K evin Phipps and M att Fallon.

“ [O ur o ffen siv e ] lin e p la y ed one helluva gam e. I got hit once a l l d a y a n d th e y c e r ta in ly deserve a lot of c red it,” Plumby said.

Senior R am bler ru n n in g back T ravis Sm ith paved the w ay on the ground, com piling 15 carries w h ile a lso c o n v e r t in g on tw o f o u r th d o w n s . S e n io r P e te r A guiar led the S iegfried receiv­in g c o rp s w ith five re c e p tio n s an d one touchdown.

“We seem ed to do everything r ig h t t o d a y ,” P lu m b y s a id . “Everything seem ed to click.”

S iegfried ’s defense clicked as well. By forcing Knott into m ulti­ple th ird and long situations, the R am bler defense could play back an d an ticipate the pass.

This caused Jugg q uarte rback

Ben Gilfillan to strugg le h itting his receivers, com pleting only six of his 18 passes.

S ieg fried w a s te d no tim e in g e ttin g on th e b o ard . On th e ir first possession of the gam e, the R am blers staged a 12-play, 65- y a rd m a rc h dow n th e field . It ended w hen Plum by connected with 6-foot-5 receiver Bill Bingle on a 27-yard touchdow n strike.

After m anaging only six points in th e ir o p e n e r , th e R am b le rs felt they had som ething to prove on offense.

“W e w a n te d to co m e o u t s tro n g an d le t th e m know w e w ere legit,” Sm ith said . “In the firs t w eek , i t ’s to u g h to gau g e [how good an offense is].

It to o k Siegfried six plays to punch it in once again, extending the ir lead to 14-0. Plumby w ent to the air aga in , hooking up w ith A guiar on a 10-yard touchdown pass.

Knott, how ever, responded on its very n e x t s e rie s . T h e Ju g g offense pu t to g e th e r a 65 -yard drive, cu lm inating in a 10-yard to u c h d o w n to ss . G ilfillan c o n ­n e c te d w ith r e c e iv e r B r ia n Paw losk i, cu ttin g th e defic it to 14-7.

“M o m e n tu m is h u g e in an y football gam e,” said Schm utzler. “W e f in a l ly s to p p e d th e m [S ieg fried ] a n d a sc o re w ould have tied the gam e up. We got the ball back [at the s ta r t of the second half] w ith w hat could’ve been a chance to take the lead .”

U n fo rtu n a te ly fo r K nott, th e team could m u ste r little else in

the second half.Plagued by untim ely penalties,

the team punted twice and w as picked off once to essentially seal the ir fate. W hen Plumby chalked up his th ird touchdow n pass, this tim e to wide receiver Mike W ahl, the gam e w as all but over.

“T hey [the p en a lties] w ere a big fac to r. A lo t o f th e m w ere u n w a rra n te d in my eyes,” said S c h m u tz le r . “I ’m n o t b la m in g our loss on penalties, but it m ade things a lot m ore difficult.”

“T h e re ’s still a sligh t ch an ce we can get into the playoffs if we win our last two. We by far have th e to u g h e s t s c h e d u le in o u r division. W e’ve got quality p ro ­g ram s all th roughout our sched­ule.”

Zahm 1 4 , Sorin 1 3Victory did not com e easily for

Zahm in the ir 14-13 win against Sorin Hall Sunday afternoon.

Zahm had to overcom e the loss of its two s ta r running backs due to in ju r ie s , a n d th e s t a lw a r t defense of Sorin.

“Sorin is a tough te a m ,” said Z a h m h e a d c o a c h J e r r y F itzpatrick . “We lost o u r en tire b ack fie ld an d h a d to com e up w ith an offense.”

R u n n in g b a c k s G abe Ib an e z a n d L a w re n c e S a n tia g o w e re both forced to leave early due to se rio u s b ru is in g th a t h in d e re d their running.

Ib an e z an d S an tiag o had six carries and nine carries, respec­tively, befo re being c a r r ie d off the field.

The first q u a rte r characterized Z ahm ’s struggle.

Zahm began the gam e w ith the ball, m arch in g 64 y ard s dow n-

fie ld to S o r in ’s o n e -y a rd line . Despite the long drive, they w ere n ev e r ab le to p u t th e ball into the end zone.

Sorin took over th e ball, and on one play Sorin q u a r te rb a c k G re g C a rn e y c o n n e c te d w ith receiver Tom Doar for a 99-yard touchdown.

At th e en d o f th e f ir s t h a lf, Zahm had controlled the ball for 17 of the first 20 m inutes of play. T hey h ad e ig h t f irs t do w n s to S o rin ’s one, an d h e ld S orin to only five p lays th e e n tire half, th ree of which cam e in the very last m inute.

Yet Z ahm found th e m se lv e s trailing 7-6 going into the second half.

“We cam e o u t a little s lo w ,” s a id Z a h m q u a r t e r b a c k D an B u rk e . “[S o rin ’s] d e fe n se w as tough .”

In th e s e c o n d h a l f , i t w a s Z a h m ’s d e fe n se th a t led th e ir team to victory.

Z ahm ’s only points of the sec­ond half cam e on an interception in th e th ir d q u a r te r th a t w as r e t u r n e d fo r a to u c h d o w n . F ollow ing a tw o -p o in t c o n v e r­s io n , Z a h m w e n t u p 1 4 -7 , a deficit Sorin would never equal.

The O tters w ere led by jun io r s ta n d o u t G reg C arney . C arney played q u arte rb ack , w ide receiv­e r a n d s a fe ty th r o u g h o u t th e gam e, an d w as resp o n sib le for both touchdow ns for Sorin.

“It’s h a rd not to be out th e re ,” said Carney. “The w hole offense is in my h ead .”

Despite being sidelined several tim es b ecau se of tough tackles, Carney played m ost of the gam e, and w as the driving force of the O tter football team .

“ H e ’s lik e o u r c o a c h ,” sa id S o r in d e f e n s iv e e n d M ike E d w a rd s . “He to o k a few big hits, yet cam e back in the gam e.”

som e ideas off m e,” he said. “I’m ju s t going to be th e re in a little m ore of a su p p o r t ro le . I ’m ju s t try in g to h e lp Kevin, help our team , help in any way 1 can to solve this problem .”

Notre D am e’s offense is conservative — so m eth in g co ach es feel m ay have developed after Notre Dam e’s 27-10 loss at N ebraska — which is fine with Davie.

But w hat is hurting the Irish the most is their offensive mistakes.

Three gam es into the season, the Irish a lre a d y h av e n in e tu rn o v e rs — one m ore than all last season — and have only c o n v e rted 12 o f 46 th ird dow n attempts.

“If you are going to be as conservative as we are, then you’d better execute at a very high, high level,” Davie said. “We are not doing tha t.”

But w hat the Irish a re lacking is the c a p a b ility to m a k e b ig p la y s . T h e ir longest passing play this season has only been 19 yards long and Tony F ish er’s 3 5 -y a rd s c a m p e r a g a in s t N e b ra s k a rem ains the longest ru sh in g play th e Irish have pulled off.

It’s not th a t opposing d efen ses a re th row ing com plicated schem es a t the Irish. Texas A&M only blitzed twice dur­ing Saturday’s gam e. Instead, the Aggies seemed content to let the Irish beat them w ith a b ig p la y — s o m e th in g th e y haven’t been able to do this season — a strategy Davie said he would use if he were coaching against the Irish.

“I’d sit back and then b ea t you with offense,” he said. “D on’t give up a big play because it doesn’t like right now we are going to generate a big play on our own. There doesn’t seem to be a whole lot of explosiveness.”

Holiday started a t quarterback against T exas A&M an d will s ta r t ag a in th is week against Pittsburgh because Davie hoped he could provide th a t explosive­ness. Although Holiday carried 12 times

for 23 yards and w as 6-for-13 passing w ith two in te rcep tions before leaving with a sprained neck a t the end of the f irs t ha lf, Davie felt H oliday show ed f la s h e s o f w h a t th e c o a c h in g s ta f f believed he w as capable of.

But Holiday m ade sev era l key m is­ta k e s th a t h u r t th e I r is h . On N o tre D am e’s first offensive drive Saturday , w ith th e ball d eep in Aggie te rrito ry , Holiday m issed a w ide-open tigh t end Jo h n Owens in the co rn e r o f the end zone.

T h e n e x t p la y , h is p a s s th a t w as intended for David Givens was intercept­ed in the end zone. And late in the sec­ond quarte r Holiday underthrew Givens again, resulting in another Aggie in te r­ception.

And it w asn’t ju st Holiday. LoVecchio w as ineffective a t q u a r te rb a c k in the second half. The offensive line gave up six sacks. Receivers dropped balls.

“The bottom line is it’s not w hat you do — it’s how you do it,” Davie said. “The b est laid p lans in a gam e som e­tim e s g e t d isc o m b o b u la te d . T h e r e ’s m uch m ore p rem ium on how you do th ings, no t w h a t you call. T h e re ’s no magic scheme. The bottom line is to play hard and execute and be m istake free and not m ake the big dram atic m istake.”

“The plays them selves are ju s t fine,” said Holiday. “We just haven’t been able to execute at certain times, and we have to do that in order to win.”

Davie d o esn ’t know exactly w h a t is w rong w ith the offense. But by getting m ore involved with the offensive p lan­ning, he hopes to get the Irish back on track.

“We all feel the sam e way,” Davie said. “You keep w aiting. You keep waiting, but it’s ju st not happening. You certainly feel like the energy and the emotion and the ‘w ant to’ is there, and the chance to do it is there. But it ju st hasn’t come.”

Late pass rescues LionsBy M A T T LOZARSports W riter

After letting the opponent com eback from two touch­dow ns late in the gam e, a team can play for the tie, or go for the win.

T he Lions of Lyons Hall chose the latter, and used a la te to u c h d o w n d r iv e to give them a 20-12 win over Pangborn on Sunday.

With the score tied a t 12 and under a m inute to play, the Lions w ent 65 yards in 35 seconds for the winning touchdown. A 10-yard pass from ju n io r q u a r te rb a c k S a ra h J e n k in s to so p h o ­m ore Allison Shenk capped off the five-play drive.

“It w as a tense situation,” sa id Lyons c a p ta in I re n e Onyeagbako. “But we w ere co n fid en t an d luckily, we cam e through.”

T h e P h o x e s m a d e th e Lions sw eat with two touch­dow ns in th e last 10 m in ­u te s o f th e s e c o n d h a lf . Their second touchdown, a 3 5 -y ard re v e rse h a lfb ack p a s s to s o p h o m o re T ia V onil h ig h l ig h te d th e Phoxes’ charge.

“We didn’t really practice th a t e x a c t p la y ,” s a id Pangborn senior co-captain N ico le T u tin . “W e k in d a had something close to that, it w as a variation called in the huddle.”

Lyons’ offense w as led by

Jenk ins. H er th re e to u c h ­down passes, two to Shenk a n d th e o th e r to s e n io r Megan Chandler, highlight­ed h er superb perform ance.

“S he [J e n k in s ] h a d an e x c e l le n t g a m e ,” s a id O nyeagbako . “T he w hole offense rea lly w en t to the next level and executed so well.”

W hat does the Church teach? W hy does it matter? Have questions and need a place to

ask them? Each one credit course in the series "Know Your Catholic Faith" will reflect on a central feature of the Catholic faith, so that students come away with a clear idea of what the Church holds on these topics as well as a basic theo log ica l and p e rso n al understanding of them. The courses will be based on the Catechism of the Catholic Church plus other pertinent texts, supplemented by personal reflection and experiential learning where appropriate. These courses should meet the needs of those students who know little or nothing about the faith, as well as those who are familiar with the faith but do not feel they have a clear grasp of certain features of Christian doctrine. The courses will be presented in a variety of formats and venues.

Have you ever p layed th a t sa ltine c ra ck e r gam e?

You know th e one. You find one of your u nsuspec ting friends, be t him o r h e r th a t they c a n ’t e a t five sa ltines in onem inute, they say th a t ’s easy , and th e n you w atch th em strugg le th ro u g h th e p la s te r of P aris th a t is now th e ir m outh .

Yeah, well, I found one friend such in O’H are A irpo rt’s Chili’s on F riday. We w ere w aiting for o u r flight to College S tation.

And for w h a t m u st have been the first tim e in the h isto ­ry of the w orld, o r a t least s tu ­pid bets, som eone a te (and sw allow ed) those five crack ers w ith six seconds to sp are .

I w as a little defla ted a fte r th row ing dow n my im possible g au n tle t only to see him rip th ro u g h it like N itro on A m erican G ladiators.

I tr ied to figure ou t how he d id it. M aybe the c rack ers w e re n ’t regu la tion size (they d id look a little sm all). M aybe th e ru les called for six an d not five or for a 50-second ea ting w indow .

But in the end, no m a tte r w h a t the reason , I lost.

Bob Davie had a sim ilar w eekend.

“Right now on offense, I d o n ’t th ink th e re ’s m uch confi­dence, and it’s been well- in ten tioned , bu t the bottom line, it h a s n ’t hap p en ed righ t now ,” Davie said.

Obviously, the N otre Dam e head football coach w as not re fe rrin g to the sa ltine ch a l­lenge in my horrib ly co n s tru c t­ed segue.

But th e re is a ce rta in sim i­la rity (work w ith m e here). A nyone can look to N otre D am e’s 24-3 loss to T exas A&M on S atu rd ay and try to pick out specifics concern ing w hy the Irish h av e n ’t done m uch a t all th is season .

The only th ings th a t people rem e m b er a re th e final scores.

So far, M ichigan S tate a te the c ra ck ers in som ew here a ro u n d my frien d ’s tim e. The H uskers and the Aggies wolfed them dow n in ab o u t 20 sec­onds.

I d id n ’t s ta r t th is colum n the w ay I did because I th ink it’s p articu la rly funny, insightful or a good w orking m etapho r.

Instead , like the en tire Irish football com m unity, I’m a t a loss. And the m ost m em orab le th ing I could th ink of from this w eek en d ’s trav e l w as the c ra ck e r story (that, and tak ing a sh a rp ja b to the shou lder from an a irp o rt sliding door).

I could tro t out sta tistics ab o u t lack of touchdow ns scored or lack of big plays p ro ­

duced or lack of w ins notched.T h a t’s useful for a w hile, to

illu stra te a point, bu t you’ve h e a rd them all a lready . Heck, you w atched the gam e. I w ou ldn ’t be offended if you d id n ’t offer m e im m edia te M ensa m em bersh ip if I told you th is team is bad rig h t now because it d id n ’t do x, y, an d z.

Davie sa id it all on Sunday. T alking ab o u t his offense: “We d o n ’t seem to have m uch banked fundam entally , o r even schem e-w ise, righ t now th a t we can do, th a t we can exe­cu te a t a high level o r get ou r p layers into a com fort zone w ith .”

A little la te r on: “W e’ve kind of go tten ourselves kind of into a — you know, I’m no t su re w h a t we a re on th ird dow n.”

But w h a t rea lly s tru ck me rea d in g th ro u g h th e tr a n sc r ip t o f his te lecon fe rence w as his fra n k a ssessm en t of the big p ic tu re of his team , probably rig h t on w ith all N otre D am e fans.

“I th ink w hen you look a t it, the th ing th a t’s so d isap p o in t­ing to m e is how m any ... plays w h ere th e re ’s no chance , ju s t no chance. We look like a poorly-coached football team , and th a t’s h a rd for m e to sw al­low and h ard for m e to say, b u t th a t’s w h a t I se e .”

Davie sa id w h a t all o f us know: it’s not th a t the Irish a re 0-3, i t’s how th e y ’ve played in getting th e re th a t m akes p lay­ers, fans, an d coaches alike cringe.

I trave l to the aw ay gam es to

b ro ad c as t them on WVFI. I m u st adm it, I’m often very vocal in my criticism of w h a t’s going on dow n on th e field, a t least m uch m ore so th an I am h ere .

P a rt o f th a t is due to the em otion of the gam e th a t unfolds as live d ram a . And p a r t of th a t is due to the fact th a t I know I’m no t also ta lk ing to the p layers, as I do here each w eek.

T h a t’s probably w rong. It’s like I’m a fifth g ra d e r laughing until the te a c h e r com es in and th en h iding the w hoopie cu sh ­ion beh ind my back.

But I also know these guys a re w orry ing ab o u t th e sam e th ings I w orry ab o u t a t the sam e age, an d desp ite getting all fired up du ring the gam es, w e a re still ju s t kids. At least until we g rad u a te .

So yes, the N otre D am e foot­ball te a m ’s p e rfo rm ance is inexcusab le th u s far th is s e a ­son. Yes, I can re fe r to th ird dow n inefficiency o r lack of y ards or the n e a r non-ex is­tence of points.

F ac t is, it’s all been said , and everyone know s the num bers.

So I chose to ta lk abou t c rack ers , one of th e m ore am azing p a r ts of my w eekend.

And you know, I really w ish som eone could tell m e w hat w as going on th e re .

Belles fall to Alma, sweep past RochesterBy KATIE M cVOYAssociate Sports Editor

Communication w as key to the Belles in a 1-1 w eekend finish.

“I thought we com m unicated a lo t b e t te r in th e se c o n d g am e c o m p a re d to th e f i r s t g a m e ,” senior Jam ie Dineen said. “T hat

“We ran a really quick offense to stay up and keep on our toes,” Dineen said.

W ith c a p ta in a n d le a d in g defender Angie M eyers out with

a to rn ACL, the young m em bers of the team had to step up play, w hich they did very well.

F reshm an Alison Shevik led the te am w ith 14 digs, 13 kills and 28 total attacks.

“[Shevik’s] been doing g re a t,” Dineen said. “All the underclass­m en a r e s te p p in g up an d o u r coach is trying new girls a t differ­en t positions.”

A solid 30-15 victory in gam e one of the m atch got the Belles off on the rig h t foot. They took the lead early in all th ree gam es

“W e’re very happy, very glad to w in,” Dineen said. “We feel th a t in a lot of our gam es in the con­ference w e’ve played really well b u t o u r re c o rd d o e s n ’t ju s t ify how we played.”

M atch one didn’t go as well for the Belles. For the fifth consecu­tive tim e, the Belles fell to MIAA com petition. This tim e they fell to the Scots of Alma.

“In th a t gam e we seem ed a lit­t le s lo w g e t t in g to th e b a l l , ” D ineen said. “We w eren ’t really talking, th e re w as a lack of com ­m unication.”

The first gam e w as close. The te am s tra d e d po in ts , b u t A lm a cam e out w ith the 30-27 win.

A fter p lay ing G eorgetow n on Sunday, the Irish would normally ta k e a d a y o ff on M o n d ay . In stead , the team p rac ticed on M onday and head s ea s t to play T o ledo fo r th e f irs t tim e since 1998.

“W e’re excited to play again, to be able to focus on stuff on our s id e o f th e n e t ,” K re h e r sa id . “Toledo’s not as strong as some of the o ther opponents tha t w e’ve had but it’s still a m atch.”

One of th e keys fo r th e Irish this past w eekend w as success on the block. Notre Dame totaled 21 blocks in the four-gam e win over G eorgetow n, inc lud ing n ine by M alinda Goralski.

N otre Dam e hopes to continue th a t success tonight, albeit by a s l ig h tly d i f f e r e n t a p p r o a c h .

W ith the attack com ­ing from th e inside, Irish head co a ch D ebb ie B row n c h a n g e d h er defensive strategy.

“W e ’r e g o in g to do w h a t is ca ll'ed a c o m m it b lo c k w h e re w e’re actually jum ping m aybe a little a h e a d of th e h itte r o r for su re r ig h t on tim e w ith th e m ,” Brown said. “W e anticipate th a t w e’ll get m ore solo blocks against this team because typically w e’re not going to com m it two people on it bu t we could com m it one.”

After Sunday’s success against th e Hoyas, the Irish look to use th e i r a d v a n ta g e on th e b lock tonight.

“T h e y ’re n o t a v e ry s t r o n g b lo c k in g te a m a t a l l ,” B row n s a id . “In fa c t , [ I r is h s e n io r M alinda Goralski] averages m ore blocks a gam e th a n the ir whole te a m . T h e ir m id d le s a r e very offensive, bu t th ey ’re not really blockers.”

K reher is ju s t looking forw ard to the team unity on the road to Toledo.

Demko interception leads Dawgs over ’RoosBy A N T H O N Y BISH O P,DAVE C O O K and M A T T D eN IC O L ASports W riters

A critical Keough in tercep tion gave A lum ni its first w in of the s e a s o n — 1 4 -7 a g a in s t th e Kangeroos.

After an Alumni fumble Keough ca p ta in an d q u a r te rb a c k Andy Hess w as in tercep ted by Alumni l in e b a c k e r T om m y D em ko on third down, Demko re tu rn ed the ball 15 yards before being forced out of bounds.

That w as all Alumni needed to pu t the ball in the endzone. On the Dawgs n ex t possession , the offensive line took over.

“The offensive line opened up big holes and the team w as disci­p lin e d ,” sa id ta ilb a ck B ran d o n Nunnink.

In th e s e c o n d h a lf , A lu m n i m a rc h e d d o w n th e f ie ld a n d cam e to ju s t inside the 20-yard line.

But on th ird do w n , th e ca ll a g a in w ent to Nunnink after an audible by Chris Cottingham.

Nunnink w ent through a gaping hole and bounced his way to the endzone with one final leap to get him across the line.

H ow ever, K eough re fu se d to give up the gam e th a t easily.

“Alumni did a good job of mix­ing th e p ass an d the ru n ,” said Hess. “I’d have to say they’re one of the better team s in the league.”

W ith the win, Alumni kept their hopes for the playoffs alive, while Keough loses ground in the play­off race. Both team s are tied with K e e n a n a n d M o rrise y b e h in d Dillon, the only team undefeated in the league.

“We have to give a lot of credit to the offensive line for the w in,” s a y s A lu m n i c a p ta in N ick L instroth. “And the w hole team w as m ore disciplined and o rg a­nized this week. I’m very pleased w ith the im provem ents."

F o llo w in g la s t y e a r ’s h e a r t- b r e a k e r to K e e n a n in d o u b le overtim e, the Big Red cam e into this gam e with a little m ore inten­sity a n d a lit tle m o re em o tio n than Keenan. And it showed.

“L ast y e a r ’s gam e w as big in our m ind,” -said Dillon linebacker J.P . C am ardo. “W e’re p roud of w hat we accom plished.”

L a s t y e a r K e e n a n d e f e a te d Dillon on a field goal in double overtime, sealing an 11-8 victory and a spo t in the cham pionship gam e. Keenan w ent on to become the interhall champion.

In this y ea r’s rem atch, Keenan w as held to only four first downs

an d no po in ts un til th e closing m inutes of the fourth quarter.

“Bottom line, they cam e out to play,” said Knight’s captain Brent Morlok.

Dillon captain and quarterback Tayt Odom said before the gam e tha t Dillon’s strategy would be to ru n th e ball. In th e gam e they executed this strategy perfectly.

The offensive backfield consist­in g o f J a s o n V isn e r , K evin McCarthy, Chris Crane and Odom c o m b in e d fo r 27 c a r r ie s a n d sco red all fou r touchdow ns for the Big Red. Odom scored th ree of those touchdowns on q u arte r­back keepers.

Odom gives m ost of the credit to the success of the Dillon offen­sive line.

“I’m pleased w ith the w ay the offensive line did. They opened up a lo t o f h o le s fo r u s ,” sa id Odom. “It w as nice to b e a t the defending cham ps.”

The K nights strugg led to find their rhythm the whole game. At th e en d of th e h a lf, f re sh m a n quarterback Patrick Downey had no c o m p le t io n s a n d tw o turnovers.

It was not until the fourth qu ar­te r th a t Downey connected with tig h t en d Ed W asilew sk i fo r a touchdown.

“Downey didn’t play too badly,” said Morlok. “There w ere a lot of gaps in our offensive line.”

D espite going 0-5 on passin g attem pts in the first half, Downey finished the gam e with six com ­pletions on eleven attem pts.

Griffins (0-2) and the M anorites (1-1) did n o t d isa p p o in t. B oth defenses stepped up for the sec­ond week in a row, resulting in a 7 -6 s c o re in fa v o r o f th e M anorites. However, both offens­es seem ed to falter for the second week in a row as well.

A first drive touchdow n by the M anorites th rew off the Griffins, and gave M orrissey som e confi­dence.

“They threw a lot m ore than we expected,” said Dilworth. “It took us off guard .”

H o w e v e r , w h e n S ta n fo rd sw itc h e d fro m a 4 -4 to a 4 -3 defense, M orrissey had offensive s tru g g le s , a n d w a s u n a b le to score again. The success of th is adjustm ent left it up to the Griffin offense to win.

However, w ith the quarterback missing and a running back filling th e spo t, S tan fo rd h a d tro u b le controlling the ball. An in tercep­t io n , t h r e e fu m b le s a n d tw o botched snaps killed alm ost every scoring drive.

“W e p layed like [ex p le tiv e ],” said Dilworth. “I’m pissed.”

E a c h tim e S ta n f o rd w o u ld th rea ten , the ball seem ed to end up in the hands of the other team . During a tough sequence for the Griffins, they tu rned the ball over th ree consecutive times, including a fumble from the two yard line.

“T h a t w a s r o u g h ,” s a id D ilw orth. “It took aw ay all ou r possessions.”

T h a t w a s e x a c t ly w h a t M orrissey had in mind.

“We put a big drive together in our first offensive series and ate up a lot of clock,” said M orrissey cap ta in Andy Baum . “I t’s those kind of drives th a t w in in in te r­hall.”

Spreitzel, who had to fill in for the regular starting quarterback , and senior receiver Mike Riley w ere a big p a rt of that.

Spreitzel found Riley for several completions, especially during the first series.

“We w ere m issing a lot of play­ers, and w ere w orried about hav­ing enough players to com pete,” said Baum. “But we ju s t decided to g e t o u t th e re an d stick it to them .”

But it w as Stanford th a t almost had the last word. With the game w in d in g do w n , S ta n f o rd ’s Vic M onaco p u lled dow n a c ru c ia l interception. M ark McNamee and the Griffin offense seem ed to pick up after th a t for one final drive.

T h e G riff in s g o t th e i r f ir s t touchdown of the year with only seconds rem aining, bringing the score to 7-6. W hat happened next would spark som e controversy.

“We w ent for two and the win,” said D ilw orth. “We though t our guy got in. On both sides of the ball tha t w as the w orst officiating I have ever seen ... it was ridicu­lous.”

However, the officials saw it dif­ferently.

“T h a t’s w hat the refs saw and th a t’s the way they saw it,” said Baum . “From my perspective, it d idn’t look like he m ade it in.”

But the Griffins don ’t feel like the ir season is over.

“W e lost, bu t I d o n ’t think we got b ea te n ,” said Dilworth. “We are going to have to win and win by a lot [in o rder to] get the point d ifferential up and hope for the playoffs.”

W o m e n ’s Interhall B lue League

Lewis faces Howard in ‘Battle of the Birds’By M A T T M O O N E Y , BRIAN LO N G and JOE HETTLERSports W riters

Come tonight, the feathers willfly-

W hen the Howard Ducks (2-1) s q u a re o ff a g a in s t th e L ew is Chicks (3-0-1), How ard will face its most challenging test yet.

“W e’re treating it like a playoff gam e,” said Howard captain Katie Cawley. “We know it’s going to be a tough gam e.”

Clearly, Howard places a lot of v a lue on th is gam e. A w in fo r Howard would pull them into a tie w ith Lewis for first place in the Blue League.

“W e need to have confidence a n d k n o w w e c a n w in ,” s a id Cawley. “I think we have tha t.”

Lewis, however, looks to solidify its place in the standings and head into the playoffs.

“A win for us secures a playoff spot and keeps us atop the stand­ings in o u r division,” said Chick cap ta in Caitlin M urray . “T h a t’s im portant to us.”

The road to victory will not be a n ea sy one fo r th e D ucks. In o rd e r to w in, th ey will have to score. Unfortunately for them , the last th ree opponen ts the Chicks have faced have failed to do so.

“We have an ex trem ely tough defense,” said Murray. “It’s been a consistent strong point for us and it sh o u ld b e a b le to h a n d le [H o w a rd ’s o ffe n se ] w ith o u t a problem.”

However, Howard feels like its defense is no pu sh -o v er e ith e r. The front line is led by two fresh­men, Brin Anderson and Charleen V inalon . A cco rd ing to M urray , they play far beyond their years.

“T hey d id v ery w ell [a g a in s t Farley]. They had a t least 5 sacks [betw een the two of them]. They don’t play like freshm en.”

With the defenses m atched the w a y th e y a r e , th is g a m e m ay come down to who wins the battle b e tw een the tw o q u a rte rb a ck s . E rin N asrallah will lead Lewis’s attack, while Howard is led by Jill Veselik.

In each of their previous games, both quarterbacks had stellar per­fo rm a n ce s . A g a in s t F a rley on Tuesday, N asrallah dropped four touchdowns on the Finest, passing for th ree and running for another.

Veselik w as no slouch herself. A g a in s t F arley on S unday , she connected on a deep touchdown pass and also scored on a qu arte r­back keeper.

Cawley feels quite confident that Veselik will outdo her counterpart.

“Jill can read the o ther team ’s defenses very well. We think she’s better.”

M u rra y , h o w ev e r, fee ls c o n ­v in ced th a t th e C hicks co n tro l their own destiny on offense.

“We stop ourselves [on offense]. W hen our offense gets it together, nothing can be done [to stop it].”

The two team s will m eet tonight a t 7 p.m. at Riehle W est Field for the right to decide which team is fowl and which is fair.

McGlinn vs. FarleyFresh off the ir first win of the

season , the McGlinn Sham rocks a r e lo o k in g to c o n t in u e th e ir improving ways as they square off against Farley Hall tonight.

After starting the season with a lo ss a n d a tie , M cG linn took- advantage of a small Off-Campus team to pull their record to 1-1-1.

Also hoping to improve on their e a r ly s e a s o n e f fo r ts , F a r le y ’s F in e s t w ill com e o u t T u e sd a y night looking for that first victory.

Losses to H ow ard an d Lewis, p lu s a t ie w ith W a lsh , p u ts Farley’s record at 0-2-1.

Leading F arley’s offensive will be quarte rback Megan Sheehan, as the te am looks to p u t som e points on the board this week.

“We d id n ’t g e t off to a g re a t s ta r t , b u t hopefully w e can pu t things together and score a couple p o in ts ,” sa id so p h o m o re Ju lie Goolia.

McGlinn, feeling confident after tasting victory on Sunday, will still concentrate on bringing the team together. On the offensive side of the ball, the Sham rocks will look to receiver On-Kay Wong for her big-play ability.

McGlinn cap ta in C hrista Gray felt tha t the past few practices for her team have been very produc­tiv e , a n d to look fo r th e Sham rocks to come out firing on all cylinders.

“We don’t know w hat to expect from Farley, but hopefully we will come together as a team and take home another victory,” said Gray.

As Gray stated, these two team s don’t really know w hat to expect from each other, but both squads played Walsh Hall to a tie earlier this season.

Cavanaugh vs. WalshA p o w e rfu l o ffe n se m e e ts a

stingy defense on Tuesday night w hen Cavanaugh faces off against W alsh in a key interhall football m atch-up. The w inner controls its p layoff destiny , w hile th e lo se r may need help to reach the post­season.

Both team s have gotten to this point in the ir seasons by relying on different strengths. Cavanaugh has used a big play offense th a t sco red 28 po in ts in a win over O ff-C am p u s la s t w e e k , w h ile W alsh’s suffocating defense has yet to be scored upon this season. On T u esd ay , so m e th in g h as to give.

“W e’re pretty m uch sticking to w h a t’s b ee n w o rk ing for us so far,” said Cavanaugh head coach Bart Bruckert. “W e’re pretty con­fiden t w e can sc o re en o u g h to win each gam e.”

Scoring on the W alsh defense, h o w ev er, h a s b een im possib le th u s fa r th is se aso n . T he Wild W om en have a lready racked up four shutouts in four games.

“Our defense has been consis­tently strong,” said W alsh co-cap­tain Alison Troy. “W e’ve definitely g o t so m e good f r e s h m a n [on defense] th a t a re help ing out a lot.”

On the other side of the ball, the

Wild W om en will be looking to improve on their anem ic offense that has only produced a total of six points this season.

“Our offense has been doing a good job of moving down the field but they’ve ju s t had trouble get­ting into the end zone,” said Troy. “W e’re ju s t having a little m ore difficulty w ith the offense righ t now.”

M eanwhile, the Chaos defense is com in g off a s tro n g p e r f o r ­m ance from last w eek in which they forced four interceptions and d id n ’t allow a point. Due to the re c e n t su c ce ss of C a v an a u g h ’s o v e ra ll te a m p la y , B ru c k e r t believes they a re rea d y to face tonight’s test.

“[Walsh is] a pretty good team , b u t 1 th in k th a t if w e ju s t do everything we said we w ere going to do in practice, such as a exe­cute, we should be pretty good to go,” said Bruckert.

Troy, on the other hand, knows tha t W alsh’s offense m ust step up th e ir gam e if th e Wild W om en hope to stay undefeated.

“W e kn o w [C a v a n a u g h ] d id re a lly w ell la s t y e a r , so w e ’re expecting them to be very com ­p e titiv e th is y e a r ,” sa id T roy . “Basically w e’re going to have to execute well on offense, get the ball down the field, and get into the end zone.”

“It’s not going to be anyth ing dram atic that you see or all of a sudden I’m calling the plays,” he sa id a f te r p ra c tic e M onday. “I don’t think I need to do that, but I do th in k I n e e d to b e m o re involved from a leadership stand­point.”

N o tre D am e is s ta t i s t ic a l ly am ong the w orst offensive team s in the nation. The Irish a re 113th out of 115 Division 1-A team s in total offensive yards and dead last in scoring, averag ing only 7.66 p o in ts p e r g a m e . On N o tre D a m e ’s tw o to u c h d o w n s , th e offense has driven a combined 10 yards.

“T h e re ’s w ay too m any plays w here it looks like a Chinese fire drill,” Davie sa id S unday a f te r ­noon.
