"dot.dead: A Silicon Valley Mystery,” by Keith Raffel; Midnight Ink; 288 pp.;

$13.95by Lora Roberts

Ian Michaels is having a bad week.Unable to face a sales presentation

with mismatched socks (he’d put on one brown one and one blue one by mistake that morning), he stops by his Palo Alto bungalow to change, and no sooner opens the door than he’s coshed over the head and whapped in the face by an unknown assailant.

But that’s not the worst thing that can happen to poor Ian, vice president of mar-keting for Accelnet, a hotshot full-motion video conferencing company poised for the big-time.

No, worse than being mugged in his own front hall is to come home unexpect-edly after lunch the next day and find Gwendolyn Goldberg, the new maid, dead on his bed.

Worst of all, Ian is soon arrested for murder, although he had never met Gwen since hiring her from a service, and thought she was a motherly, middle-aged type based on her spidery handwriting and the cookies she left for him. But since she was actually a young, gorgeous Stanford student, Ian’s protestations of not knowing her sound empty to Palo Alto’s finest.

Dot.dead, by local entrepreneur and Siebel vice president Keith Raffel, takes us into the boardrooms and bedrooms of the Silicon Valley power set.

Ian downplays his own importance as a major player, but such modesty is for naught — while his personal world implodes during the investigation

of the maid’s death, the upward tra-jectory of his career seems to be on the line as well.

His mentor, Paul Berk, owner of Ac-celnet, repudiates Ian’s vision for the company, and the board — as always — is swayed by Paul.

Meanwhile, Paul’s wife, Kathy — the woman Ian has secretly held up as his ideal — not only leaves Paul, but makes advances to Ian, advances he must re-ject out of loyalty.

And the nice old lady across the street who has told the police she saw Ian re-turn from work around noon, about the time of the murder, is no longer speak-ing to him. Clearly, he’s in trouble.

Raffel has a good time with Palo Alto and surroundings. Ian offers his guests Kona coffee from Peet’s (although he himself is a tea drinker), jogs at the Dish and at Foothills Park, and lives on Lincoln; even his doctor has a Palo Alto-correct phone prefix of 321.

When his high-powered attorney mentions her fee, Ian thinks, “I had a nest egg from selling my Berk Technol-ogy stock, but at those rates it would melt away faster than the NASDAQ in-dex in the winter of 2001-02.”

Ian is a native, born and raised in the valley, a Paly graduate who remembers

MURDER IN THE

HEART OFPALO ALTOLocal writer spins a mystery tale

Nicholas W

right

Keith Raffel has written a mystery novel set in Palo Alto, with one scene taking place in the city’s Police Department.

the apricot orchards and horse trails of an earlier era. Obviously attracted to the ladies, he’s been a commitment-phobe, turning away from intimacy with anyone who wants to get close.

But now he finds himself fasci-nated with the dead Gwendolyn, who had evidently been romanti-cally attached to a man she’d never dated: him.

The police find that she had used his name as the password on her computer, and that someone had taken her picture looking very at home in his back yard. She’d even told her friends she was contem-plating a relationship with him.

Now Gwendolyn is dead, but her sister Rowena joins Ian in trying to find a more likely killer than him-self. Rowena has entanglements of her own with one of Gwen’s ex-boyfriends, who was in the neigh-borhood when Gwen was killed. And body parts are found at Foot-hills Park — another victim, or the perpetrator?

Raffel, a first-time novelist, skates lightly over the areas that might impact a reader’s willing suspension of disbelief. Coinci-dences are thick on the ground; the prosecutor who excuses Ian from jury duty, thereby remov-ing a potential alibi for the time of the murder, happens to join an exclusive law firm just in time to represent him when he’s threatened with arrest.

Though they live in LA, both Rowena and Gwen’s ex-boyfriend happen to have been in Palo Alto around the time of the murder. And even though the police have egg on their faces from a premature arrest, and are described as trying to build a really solid case before making another move, they go right ahead and arrest someone on the thinnest possible evidence.

However, the characters are well-drawn, even the women, which can be a problem for a first-time male writer. Ian’s quest for the truth fol-lows a long tradition of the ama-teur sleuth, suspected of a crime, but able to ferret out clues that have eluded the police simply by know-ing the ground.

Raffel definitely knows the lo-cal ground, and conveys a sense of Palo Alto that all who live here will

find entertaining and familiar. “We drove by houses with Moor-

ish tile roofs and stucco facades. We traveled down Waverley Street, leopard-spotted by the late after-noon sun shining through tree boughs,” Ian says.

Though his story doesn’t turn on technology, Raffel offers an insid-er viewpoint on the siliconization of the Valley of Heart’s Delight. Those who don’t live here can en-joy the mystery and the sense of place. Those who do live here will

enjoy a drive past many familiar places on their way to solving the crime. ■

Author Keith Raffel will appear at Kepler’s Books in Menlo Park at 7:30 p.m. Sept. 20.

Lora Roberts is a Palo Alto mystery writer whose latest novel is “The Affair of the Incognito Tenant: A Mystery with Sherlock Holmes.”

This month’s picks from Frank Sanchez, head book buyer at Kepler’s Books in Menlo Park, include an alarming book about the reduction in biodiversity, a book about the drawings leaders of the Bolsheviks made of each other (presumably during long meetings), an unusual book about dressing cats and dogs up to be photographed, and more.

“The Creation: A Meeting of Science and Religion” by E.O. Wilson is an examination of Earth’s reduction in biodiversity as species become extinct due to global warming and pollution. The author, a two-time Pulitizer Prize-winning Harvard biologist, suggests that science and religion will have to find ways to work to-gether to help save nature as we know it.

“Piggy Foxy and the Sword of Revolution” edited by Alexander Vatlin and Larisa Malashanko contains the sketches that Bol-shevik leaders made of each other during and after the 1917 revolu-tion. The drawings, many surpris-ingly well done and detailed, were recently found in secret Soviet files and are fascinating.

“Cats, Dogs & Other Rabbits: The Extraordinary World of Harry Whittier Frees” by Syl-vie Treille is a collection of pho-tographs by Frees (1879-1953). He dressed up small cats and dogs (and rabbits) and posed them. The photographs are compelling to look at, although the animals don’t look very happy about being dressed up and posed.

“Grayson” by Lynne Cox is the story of when the author, a distance swimmer, was swim-

ming offshore and was suddenly befriended by a baby grey whale which began following her. Cox couldn’t swim to shore because the 18-foot-long whale would die, so she stayed offshore, hop-ing that the baby whale’s mother would show up.

“Giraffe” by J.M. Ledgard is a novel based on the 1975 killing of 49 zoo giraffes by Czech of-ficials. It was the largest herd of captive giraffes in the world at the time. The author, a foreign cor-respondent for the British news magazine The Economist, created a novel out of the story.

“Cross Country” by Robert Sullivan is the author’s recollec-tions of 15 years of summer trips with his family from Oregon to New York. The Brooklyn author has driven cross country 27 times. The story is filled with “a lot of bad motels, a moving van, Emily Post, ... kids, and enough coffee to kill an elephant.”

“Special Topics in Calamity Physics” by Marisha Pessl is a novel about a teenaged girl and her father, who is a visiting lec-turer at universities. It’s a coming-of-age novel about an unusually well-educated girl, and everything she encounters. The book is struc-tured as a syllabus for a literature class.

“I Feel Earthquakes More Often Than They Happen: Coming to California in the Age of Schwarzenegger” by Amy Wilentz is the author’s story about coming to Los Angeles in 2003 after being a life-long East Coast person. The author finds a flawed paradise.

St. Elizabeth Seton School is located on Channing Avenue in Palo Alto, and is entirely dedicated to the education of children from East Palo Alto and the surrounding low-income communities. Our goal is to provide a strong academic and religious foundation that will prepare students to be successful in high school, college and beyond. Currently, 262 students are enrolled in grades K-8. With a high percentage of bilingual students, Seton School concentrates on language arts: reading, writing and speaking. This is complemented by a strong math and science program.

A majority of Seton students and families take advantage of the Extended Day Program which makes before and after school care available free of charge. Children who remain on campus after 3 pm have the opportunity to participate in a number of extracurricular activities. Students can get academic support at Homework Club, join a school sports team, or have fun in one of the various club activities.

Through the generosity and fi nancial support of local donors, Seton School is able to enhance academic instruction with hands-on science experiments, music, drama, fi eld trips and outdoor education experiences. Community members generously volunteer their time to tutor students before, during and after classes. A group of Stanford graduate students spend one afternoon a month with the 4th graders teaching a Young Astronauts curriculum. Castilleja students moderate the Robotics Club, and Sacred Heart Prep students recently conducted a 6 week Running Club.

The collective efforts of the Seton faculty and the local community, combined with the peaceful Palo Alto location, create a unique and very successful learning environment. Virtually all Seton graduates complete high school and about half go on to college.

It’s 11:00 and a group of second graders play “roots, stems, and leaves” in the garden. Se-rina yells out “flower” and all the children race to find one. Then “roots” and Maria rushes to harvest yacon, an ancient Andean plant. These second graders spend their morning lesson plant-ing, harvesting, eating. Without even realizing it, they are learn-ing important lessons about nu-trition and science.

Later that day, Tyrica and Ovi-er pull weeds taller than them-selves. They grasp the bottom, pry and shake the plants so that as much precious soil remains in the garden as possible. They are Junior Instructors, serving as role models and mentors for younger students in the after school Garden Club.

On the weekend, Miguel brings his mother to the garden for a special workday, where community members transplant raspberries, bok choy and cel-ery. Parents and students alike sample organically grown food, eat plant part snacks, and help to grow a learning community.

Late in the spring, a killdeer lays its eggs in the garden, just outside the Baylands. And a pheas-ant struts through the garden paths, looking for seeds.

These snapshots highlight the everyday life of Collective Roots Garden Project (CRGP), a non-profit organization dedicated to integrating

garden learning into the school curriculum. Our focal areas are nutrition, environmental science, and leadership. CRGP currently partners with East Palo Alto Charter School to increase stu-dents’ knowledge and appreciation for nature by teaching environmental science and nutrition

through hands-on lessons in a garden classroom. Our organic garden learning center spans more than 12,500 square feet and provides endless opportu-nities for students of all ages to learn first-hand about science and nutrition in their surround-ing environment. We directly serve these students through four core programs:

• Garden-Based Lessons for grades K-6

• Middle School Garden Elective

• After school Garden Club, and

• Community Garden Work-days and Events.

Our board and staff are working to create a model of garden learning that can be replicated in other schools serving under resourced youth in the next few years.

Stanford freshman running back Toby Gerhart (7) was one bright spot in the Cardinal’s 48-10 season-open-ing loss to host Oregon last Saturday as he led Stanford’s rushing game with 55 yards on 16 carries.

AROUND THE NATION . . . Col-gate University sophomore Ka-trina Zawojski of Palo Alto was named the Patriot League Baden Volleyball Player of the Week. Zawojski averaged 3.80 kills and 2.50 digs per game with a .302 hitting percentage as the Raiders went 2-1 at the Marist Red Fox Classic over the weekend. The right-side hitter led the team in kills in each of the three matches and posted her third double-double of the season against Central Connecticut State with 17 kills and 10 digs. Registering at least 10 kills in each match, Zawojski was one of two players named to the Red Fox Classic all-Tournament Team . . . Former Stanford All-American Ryan Hall of Palo Alto added to his USA 12K cross-country title of last Febru-ary by capturing the 29th NewAl-licance New Haven Road Race on Monday in New Haven, Conn. The race served as the USA 20K national championships. For Hall, 23, the race was the longest of his life. He won in 59:29, winning by 14 seconds. “I just tried to be patient and follow every else’s moves,” said the Team Running USA athlete, who also took home $7,500 as the national champ.

AROUND THE WORLD . . . The United States national women’s softball team won its sixth con-secutive ISF Women’s World Championship title by defeating Japan, 3-0, in the gold-medal game Tuesday. Stanford gradu Jessica Mendoza and Crystl Bustos hit back-to-back homers in the sixth inning to power Team USA to the title. Cat Osterman was spectacular in the circle al-lowing only one hit and striking out 14 batters in her best per-formance of the year. Osterman finished the tournament with a 6-0 record while Mendoza was the offensive MVP finishing the Championship with a .500 bating average, five home runs, 16 RBI and an astonishing .969 slug-ging percentage. Team USA lost to Japan on Monday, 3-1, then beat Australia on Tuesday to earn a rematch with Japan in the title game.

Only 10 more days until Stan-ford officially opens it born-again stadium. That could be

a welcome sight for the yet-to-be-born-again Cardinal football team.

Opening with a Pac-10 game on the road is no picnic whatever the reason and Stanford wasn’t in any mood for social engagement fol-lowing Saturday’s 48-10 loss to host Oregon.

Stanford has suffered a series of debacles at the (webbed) hands of the Ducks the past few years, and, when Oregon returned a blocked field goal for a touchdown midway through the fourth quarter, Satur-day became the worst one of all.

By now the Cardinal has turned its attention to its nonconference

trip to San Jose State this Saturday for a 3 p.m. kickoff after taking what lessons can be learned from last weekend’s setback. One small item Stanford may want to consider is revising future schedules. As it stands, the Cardinal open next sea-son against UCLA and follow that with a season opener against Ari-zona State in 2008.

The running game certainly looks primed for an overhaul and should true freshman Toby Gerhart find his way into the starting lineup at some point, it would come as no surprise. He led the team with 55 rushing yards on 16 carries. Trent Edwards deftly scrambled his way to 33 more yards.

“College football was everything I expected it to be,” Gerhart told

MediaNews. “It’s exciting. It’s fast-paced. It was a little nerve-rack-ing.”

Last year’s team rushing leader, Jason Evans, carried the ball twice, fumbled once, and gained a grand total of two yards. Starters Anthony Kimble and Nick Frank combined for 10 yards. And that’s your 2006 season-opening rushing attack.

“In the second half, they were re-ally daring us to run and we weren’t able to,” receiver Evan Moore said. “We had some opportunities to make big plays, but we just didn’t make them.”

Edwards also passed for 224 yards, including a 26-yard touch-down toss to Mark Bradford in the second quarter, but then failed to

Passinggradesto openMenlo solid in win,but Gunn and SHP

need some workby Craig Wentz

T he opening week of the high school football season is com-pleted, and three local teams

have passed their initial tests de-spite varied results.

Menlo School demonstrated it has plenty of offense this season following a 42-0 nonleague romp over injury-plagued San Mateo. Sacred Heart Prep showed that its running game will be able to carry the Gators through the season de-spite a 20-19 nonleague loss to host El Camino.

And even Gunn, despite a 41-21 setback to Lincoln (San Francisco), provided enough highlights to build upon the rest of the season.

The Titans made their season de-but last Friday with a new coach, new uniforms and a newly lit field. Along with those wrinkles, Gunn also has a new commitment to put the building blocks in place to as-sure a solid future.

After struggling the past few seasons and losing 23 players from a year ago, first-year coach Matt McGinn and his staff will strive to unify both the frosh-soph and var-sity programs in hopes of positive dividends down the road.

Gunn came into its season opener with just 28 players on the varsity roster and inexperience at many positions. Yet, the Titans came out with an abundance of enthusiasm and performed surprisingly well in their season-opening loss to talented Lincoln team.

A large, loud crowd was witness to not only a number of spectacular plays and a combined nine touch-downs by both schools in the three-hour marathon, but to a little history as the contest marked the first-ever night game on the Gunn campus.

Despite some early offensive fire-works that enabled Gunn to hold a 21-6 second-quarter lead, the Titans showed their lack of depth at posi-tions and became physically and mentally fatigued in the second half by chasing one of the best running backs in Northern California.

Lincoln junior tailback David Henderson, who helped Lincoln last season to its first Academic Athletic Association title since 1979, had the Gunn defense guessing and missing all night in helping the Mustangs overcome the 15-point deficit by scoring the game’s final 35 points.

The 5-foot-11, 175-pound Hen-derson, who runs the 40-yard dash in a quick 4.4, slashed for a game-high 281 rushing yards rushing on 19 carries and scored four touch-downs.

“We came to play and I was very proud of our effort,” said McGinn, who is also Gunn’s athletic direc-tor. “Lincoln was very athletic and

we hope to be champions like them someday. Defensively, I thought it could be a struggle because we ro-tate a lot.”

Gunn (0-1) hopes to notch its first win of the season this Friday when it hosts much-improved Mountain View (0-0) of the SCVAL De Anza Division in a nonleague contest at 7:30 p.m.

“We need to go back to the draw-ing board, because we’ll have our work cut out for us against Moun-tain View,” stated McGinn. “Moun-tain View is like Lincoln, athletic and balanced.”

Gunn hopes it doesn’t see another back like Henderson, who scored on a 71-yard run with 5:20 left in the first quarter.

Gunn quickly countered that, however, and reeled off 21 straight points behind smart play-calling and the right arm of senior quarter-back Chris Gumbrecht.

In a span of six minutes, Gumbre-cht (he didn’t even play football last season) connected on three touch-down passes deep down the right side of the field. Gumbrecht hooked up with senior receiver Andrew Hopkins twice for scores of 28 and 45 yards and once with junior re-ceiver Stephen Strnad for a 29-yard scoring strike.

Gumbrecht finished his impres-sive varsity debut by completing 7 of 13 passes for 171 yards and the three touchdowns. Senior Tucker Laurence, Gunn’s quarterback the past two seasons, showed he’s capa-ble to be the Titans’ feature running back with a team-leading 53 yards on 11 carries.

Hopkins also had an impressive opener by hauling in three passes for a game-high 114 yards and a pair of scores.

Gunn dominated the game’s first 12 minutes by running 19 plays for 135 yards in an effective balanced attack that confused the Lincoln secondary. But, after a few adjust-ments, the †Lincoln defense held Gunn to just 88 yards the rest of the game and caused four turnovers (three fumbles and a muffed punt).

McGinn stated in the preseason that he needs to have the best 11 players on the field, utilize team quickness because of a lack of size, and invoke trust for success. Though things didn’t pan out in the long run

for Gunn, a positive foundation was set.

Menlo 42, San Mateo 0The Knights failed to score on

their first possession of the game after reaching the San Mateo 5-yard line, but that may have been the only negative on the day as they rolled up 411 offensive yards to open the season.

It was an impressive start for Menlo senior quarterback Andrew Dixon, who missed on his first three attempts but then connected on eight straight. He threw touchdowns of 37 yards to junior R.J. Carver plus 5 and 25 yards to senior Anthony Bouvier. Dixon finished with 10 of 13 for 164 yards.

Bouvier, the Utility Player of the Year in the PAL Ocean Division a season ago, showed his versatility once again by throwing a 34-yard touchdown pass to senior Ricky Hawkins in addition to kicking six extra points and grabbing the two

TD passes.Hawkins caught five passes for

107 yards and senior running back Leon Ivery led the ground attack with 72 yards on 12 carries, scoring twice in the second half to complete the scoring.

Junior Jack Mosbacher and 6-foot-3, 200-pound sophomore Ryan O’Holleran combined for 90 yards on 13 carries to support Ivery’s ef-fort and give the Knights a solid run game.

Menlo’s defensive effort, which held San Mateo to 16 rushing yards and 128 passing yards, was helped by injuries to both Bearcat quarter-backs.

Menlo (1-0) will be back in action Saturday against Sacred Heart Prep in a nonleague test at Woodside High at 7 p.m.

El Camino 20, SH Prep 19The Gators (0-1) showed their

running attack once again will be formidable this season as they rushed for 257 yards on 44 carries against the Colts. Ty Hyland gained 105 yards and Matt Connor went for 104 to give SHP a solid one-two punch.

Sacred Heart Prep, however, needs to drastically improve its passing game in order to be more successful this season. Sophomore quarterback Ryan Sakowski, making his first varsity start, completed just two of eight passes for 17 yards.

Still, the Gators had the game if not for turnovers. A fumble by Connor was turned into a 15-yard scoring pass in the second quarter. A roughing-the-passer penalty set up another scoring pass play that brought El Camino to within 21-14 at halftime.

SHP coach Pete Lavorato said his team made too many mistakes and allowed El Camino to control the game in the second half.■

Armando Del Rio played his high school soccer at Sacred Heart Prep and hoped to one

day coach the boys’ team there. While that scenario didn’t play out, Del Rio got the next best thing.

He’s coaching against his former team.

Del Rio is the new head coach of the Woodside Priory boys’ soccer team. He made a huge impact in his debut last Friday as his Panthers up-ended defending champion Sacred Heart Prep, 3-2, to open the Private Schools Athletic League season.

The Gators appeared in control when Adam Leao scored in the opening half, taking a 1-0 lead into intermission. It was then Del Rio dug into his Sacred Heart Prep memories and provided his team with some motivation.

“I told our guys that in my se-nior year we had to beat Redwood Christian to win league,” Del Rio recalled. “We trailed 3-1 with four minutes left to play and won, 4-3. But, we all knew we were going to win that game.”

Woodside Priory came out fired up in the second half and began trading goals with the Gators. Blaine Tehaney, who had scored three goals in a nonleague win over East Palo Alto a few days earlier, blasted a free kick from 40 yards out past SHP keeper Will Van Al-styne to deadlock the match just into the second half.

Priory grabbed a 2-1 lead when

junior Brian Hong scored with eight minutes to play. Sacred Heart Prep dulled the Panthers’ celebra-tion with a quick goal with less than six minutes remaining.

At that point, it appeared the teams would leave the field dead-locked as time ticked away. But, Priory battled back and got the game-winner when junior Jay Park headed in a pass from Hong. Mo-ments later, it was all over and the Panthers celebrated.

Del Rio, who had dropped one of his forwards (Charlie Reyes) back on defense after the Panthers had taken a 2-1 lead, moved that player back up after SHP tied the match.

“I didn’t want to go overtime with them,” Del Rio said. “They are too big and too fast.”

Girls volleyballMenlo School opened its season

with a 4-1 record and a fifth-place finish in the 32-team Milpitas Spikefest Tournament last week-end at Milpitas and Independence highs.

“I’m very pleased with how all our girls played,” said Menlo’s second-year coach Chris Crader. “We’ve only had three weeks of practice and we have some key players who are still coming back from injuries.

“After finishing 12th in this tour-nament last year, and going on to win league and reach the top eight in the state, a fifth-place finish this year is really encouraging. ■

The Menlo College football team can erase one small item off its checklist of goals after

beating visiting McMurry Univer-sity (Texas), 14-0, on Saturday in the season opener for both teams.

That 15-game losing streak which burdened the Oaks through the offseason has been neatly stashed away in some darkened, barren basement corner, along with the baggage of other recent failures.

This year, with a new look de-fense, the Oaks are poised to climb back into the limelight. Junior run-ning-back-turned-linebacker Eddie Conner symbolizes the fresh look at Menlo as coach Mark Kaanapu looks to flood the field with his best athletes regardless of position.

Senior defensive end Mike Mather and sophomore defensive end Robbie Fritts also made the move from offense to defense, helping to make the coach’s strat-egy effective, at least for Menlo’s first season-opening in three years and first shutout in 10 years.

Menlo sacked McMurry quarter-back Stephen Johnson five times, with Mather and Fritts combining for 2 1-2 sacks. Junior linebacker Asti Merino, who led the Oaks with six tackles, was credited with 1 1/2 sacks and also forced a fumble and deflected a pass. Mather and Con-ner each recovered a fumble.

Overall, the Oaks’ defense proved rather stingy, allowing 170 total yards, 54 on the ground. Menlo was most effective on third down situations, allowing the Indi-

ans to convert one of 13 for a first down. McMurry was 0-for-9 in the second half.

Menlo gained just 215 offen-sive yards, but that was more than enough as senior defensive tackle Larnell Ransom (another convert from offense who recorded five solo tackles, one sack) and junior defensive back Galen Perry (four tackles) among others stymied the Indians at nearly every turn.

The Oaks hope to continue their success when Southern Oregon pays a visit on Saturday at noon. The Raiders lost their opener, 9-3, to Eastern Oregon.

Sophomore running back Drew Faria provided most of the hard work, grinding out 72 rushing yards on 28 carries and catching three passes for 11 yards. He scored both Menlo touchdowns, matching his season total of a year ago.

With Menlo’s offensive line ef-fectively firmly entrenched — al-lowing no sacks and a mere two lost rushing yards — Faria and quarterback Adam Hazel (53 rush-ing yards, 77 passing yards) en-joyed a festive afternoon eating up huge chunks of the clock as the Oaks dictated the game’s pace.

Menlo wasted no time in gain-ing the advantage. After stopping the Indians without a yard on their opening drive, the Oaks established control at the line of scrimmage, driving 53 yards in 10 plays, eight rushing plays accounting for all the yardage, in just under five minutes. Faria carried the final yard to put

Stanford into the end zone in the final 36 minutes.

“I thought we were well prepared to come in here and give these guys a fight, and I don’t think we really did that,” Edwards said. “You have to give them, and their quarterback, credit. They did a great job.”

Bradford caught nine passes for 108 yards, which will help take some attention away from Moore, who finished with four catches and 62 yards.

“Obviously we didn’t play very well,” Moore said. “We’ve got San Jose State and we’ll kick off the season there.”

The Spartans may be slightly less formidable than the Ducks, but there are dangers lurking in Spar-tan Stadium. San Jose State coach Dick Tomey formerly coached at Arizona and until last season (with the Spartans) had never suffered a losing season.

The Spartans are coming off a 35-29 loss to host Washington and are looking for something bigger.

“We can be proud of our effort, proud of the fact we got better as we played, proud of the fact we won the turnover battle and had the least number of penalties, and other things, but we were trying to win,” Tomey said. “We’re looking for a better result.”

Aaron Zagory, who walked on as a placekicker two years ago, con-verted his first field-goal attempt, a 34-yarder that put Stanford into a temporary tie with Oregon at 3-3 late in the first quarter. But he also missed one and had another blocked.

Derek Belch, beat out by Zagory for placekicking duties, handled kickoff chores and sent the open-ing kickoff six yards deep in the end zone. He averaged 58 yards per kickoff, though only 27.7 net yards.

Safety Trevor Hooper led Stan-ford with a career-high 12 tackles, which was made necessary because Oregon backs and receivers were constantly getting into Stanford’s secondary. The Cardinal did not re-cord a sack or a quarterback hurry.

“I thought we protected the pass-er better, but you can’t tackle like we did and win games,” Stanford coach Walt Harris said. “We have to tackle better. We didn’t do a good job on special teams. We need to do a good job blocking on kickoffs.”

Said Defensive Coordinator A.J. Christoff: “(Oregon has) a very dif-ficult offense and with our young defense, we had a very difficult time stopping the run. They did an outstanding job with play selec-tion. We gave up big plays when we missed tackles, which is something

we have really looked to improve on in practice. We have to become a better tackling football team.”

Senior defensive back Brandon Harrison, who recorded the lone break-up of the game for Stanford, injured his left arm and sat out the fourth quarter. Senior linebacker Michael Okwo missed the game with a broken thumb. Redshirt sophomore Pat Maynor replaced Okwo and recorded six tackles. Se-nior receiver Marcus McCutcheon sustained a right leg injury.

In addition to Gerhart, five other true freshmen saw action: Brian Bulcke, Sione Fua, Levirt Grif-fin, Richard Sherman, and Austin Yancy. The Cardinal did not play a true freshman last year. A total of 20 players made their collegiate debuts.■

MENLO COLLEGE ROUNDUP


Stanford running back Anthony Kimble (26) had a rough season opener as he and Nick Frank combined for just 10 rushing yards.

Bob Mathias, who became one of the legendary figures in Stanford track and field

history after winning back-to-back Olympic gold medals in the decathlon, has passed away at the age of 75.

Mathias, who later became a U.S. congressman, died Saturday at his home in Fresno after a long battle with throat cancer.

Mathias became the youngest Olympic gold medalist in a track and field event in 1948 in Lon-don, when he won the decathlon at 17. It was only his third decath-lon competition, having qualified for the Olympics by winning two events in the United States.

At the 1952 Games in Helsinki, Finland, he became the first ath-lete to repeat as Olympic cham-pion in the decathlon. Earlier that year, he played fullback for Stan-ford in its Rose Bowl appearance. Though the Washington Redskins drafted him, he never signed. Mathias also won the 1948 Sul-livan Award as the nation’s top amateur athlete.

“He just had a lot of natural abil-ity in everything he did,” Eugene Mathias said.

After retiring from sports, Mathias served as a Republican congressman representing Cali-fornia from 1967-74, serving four terms.

Following his political career, Mathias became the first director of the U.S. Olympic Training Cen-ter in Colorado Springs, Colo.

He also is a member of the U.S. Olympic and national track and field halls of fame.

Mathias was the Associated Press male athlete of the year in 1952.

“Bob Mathias was one of those rare individuals with the ability to inspire a nation through his determination and perseverance. He was a champion in every as-pect of life, and he embraced the values that make our country and the worldwide Olympic movement special,” USOC chairman Peter Ueberroth said in a statement.

Mathias is survived by his wife, Gwen, and several children.■

Menlo on top.The Oaks added an insurance

score on their next possession, with Hazel’s two-yard scoring toss early in the second quarter the final touch. Blake Nino added the two extra points and Menlo turned the game over to the defense.

Women’s soccerTalk about defense, the Oaks had

plenty of it on the soc-cer field as well in win-ning twice in noncon-ference play over the weekend by a combined 14-0 score.

Five dif-ferent play-ers scored goals in a 5-0 win over visiting Bethany on Friday, and 11 differ-ent players recorded a point in a 9-0 win over host Wil-liam Jessup on Satur-day.

Menlo (2-

0) travels to Prescott, Ariz., this weekend for a pair of games. The Oaks meet Bethel of Kansas (0-1) on Saturday and host Embry Riddle Aeronautical University (4-0) on Sunday.

Menlo enjoyed a 32-1 shooting advantage against Bethany with senior midfielder Sheryl Cumine, junior forward Kristina Leydecker, senior forward Katie Gravett, se-nior forward Elaine Strauss and junior midfielder Pamela Ralston recording the goals.

Senior Molly Flanagan and soph-omore Megan Gray each had two assists, with Gray earning her first collegiate points.

“The unselfishness of our of-fense was the most pleasing as-pect,” Coach Owen Flannery said. “We proved that anyone can score and everyone is comfortable creat-ing opportunities.”

Sharing was no problem on Saturday either. Senior forward Rachel Anden joined the scoring parade with a pair of first-half goals against the Lady Warriors, and then freshman forwards Grace Kilpatrck and Adri Kinhult each scored their first collegiate goals in the second half.

Gravett (two goals), Leydecker, Ralston and Strauss also jumped into the procession. Junior Court-ney Orlando had two assists while sophomore goalkeeper Heather Klassen added an assist to go with two saves.

Men’s soccerJunior defender Cameron Law-

rence scored in the final minutes of play as Menlo edged host William Jessup, 1-0, on Saturday to earn a split of its weekend nonconference games.

The Oaks (1-1) dropped a 3-0 de-cision to visiting University of the Ozarks on Friday.

Menlo travels to the Westmin-ster Tournament in Salt Lake City for three games this weekend. The Oaks meet the host Griffins (2-1) on Friday, Point Loma Nazarene (2-1) on Saturday and No. 10 Em-bry Riddle Aeronautical University (2-0) on Sunday.

Julian Baldaccini crossed a high pass to Lawrence, who headed the ball into the net for the Oaks in

Saturday’s win. It was Lawrence’s first collegiate goal.

Senior goalkeeper Jarin Beck recorded seven saves to earn the victory.

Women’s volleyballTwo-time defending Califor-

nia Pacific Conference champion Menlo lost all four matches at the Crowne Plaza Labor Day Festival in Irvine in its season-opening weekend.

Menlo opened with a 30-25, 30-23, 30-11 loss to host Concordia, ranked ninth, on Friday and then fell to No. 23 Point Loma Naza-rene, 30-14, 30-15, 30-20.

On Saturday, No. 2 Fresno Pa-

cific handed Menlo a 30-20, 30-22, 30-20 defeat. Menlo completed competition late Saturday with a 30-26, 30-24, 30-23 loss to un-ranked Vanguard.

Every team Menlo played was undefeated and has a combined 21-0 record.

Menlo (0-4) opened Cal Pac play on Tuesday night against visiting Pacific Union (1-2). The Oaks travel to Cal State East Bay next Wednesday.

HIGH SCHOOL SCOREBOARD

Sports


by Rick Eymer

T he Stanford women’s soccer team ended two losing streaks by extending two winning

streaks over the weekend, beating visiting USF, 3-0, on Friday night and topping visiting Cal Poly, 2-0, on Sunday.

The Cardinal (2-2) hopes to ex-tend its overall winning streak by ending another losing streak this weekend when it plays at Rutgers (2-0) on Friday night.

Lizzy George scored a goal and assisted on an-other in the win over the Dons, which ended a three-game losing streak dating to last year. It was also Stanford’s 18th consecutive win over USF.

The victory also erased a t h r e e - g a m e home winless streak for the Cardinal.

Shari Sum-mers and Alicia Jenkins scored in Stanford’s win over the Mustangs. The Cardinal is 5-0 against Cal Poly, with three of those wins occuring in the NCAA tournament.

Stanford hopes to end a three-game losing streak away from Ma-loney Field when it travels to the East Coast. The Cardinal also plays Long Island University (1-3) at Rut-gers on Sunday.

Summers scored on a penalty kick early in the contest against Cal Poly. She was in the process of following her own shot on goal when she was taken down hard in the box.

Lea MacKinnon passed to Jen-kins in front of the net to set up the final goal. The freshman rifled a shot to the right, which deflected off the Cal Poly goalkeeper and into the net.

“It was a hard-fought victory and a significant win against a very strong team,” Stanford coach Paul Ratcliffe said.

The Cardinal outshot its oppo-nents, 36-9, over the weekend with a 21-6 advantage over the Dons.

Summers started the scoring with a header from the right side in the 32nd minute, assisted by George.

Early in the second half, George scored off a rebound. Kristin Stan-nard ended the scoring with a hard drive of the crossbar, with an assist from Kate Mannino.

Women’s volleyball Stanford, which won two of three

matches at the BYU tournament over the weekend, has played in

front of large crowds before and heads to Hawaii this week to play in front of the largest crowd it will see all season.

The fourth-ranked Cardinal (3-1) opens the Waikiki Beach Mar-riott Challenge in Honolulu against Northwestern (2-1) on Thursday. Stanford meets Fairfield (3-3) on Friday and host Hawaii (3-2) on Saturday night.

Hawaii regularly draws crowds of over 10,000 to its games and the Rainbow Wahine crank up the vol-ume (think NBA loud) inside the Stan Sheriff Center.

Last weekend, sophomores Fo-luke Akinradewo and Cynthia Bar-boza earned spots on the BYU all-tournament team.

Akinradewo hit at a .500 clip with 33 kills, 14 blocks, and three aces. Barboza recorded 34 kills, two blocks and three aces. Barboza hit .382 in the final two matches, with 15 digs.

Stanford was upset by the host Cougars, 17-30, 30-25, 30-25, 30-16, in the tournament opener despite 14 kills by each senior Kristin Rich-ards and junior Franci Girard.

Stanford handily won the first game but fell behind in each of the final three games.

In the second, the Cardinal ral-lied to tie it at 22 before falling and was within 22-21 in game three.

BYU held leads of 8-0, 15-1 and 19-4 before holding off Stanford’s late charge in front of a Provo re-cord crowd of 4,500.

Stanford came back to beat Vir-ginia Commonwealth, 30-28, 30-17, 30-16, and Texas A&M Corpus Christi, 30-12, 30-15, 30-20, on Saturday.

Sophomore Jessica Fishburn had 15 digs and junior Bryn Kehoe re-corded 34 assists against the Rams. The Cardinal had seven services aces, led by Nji Nnamani with a ca-reer-high three aces.

Richards had a team-high 11 kills against the Islanders.

Men’s soccer Stanford returns home sporting a

brand new unbeaten streak of two matches after playing host Princ-eton to a scoreless tie on Friday and beating host Army, 2-1, on Sunday.

The Cardinal (1-2-1) looks to end a six-game home winless streak when it hosts San Jose State (1-2) on Friday at 7:30 p.m. and Cal State Fullerton (2-1) on Sunday at 1 p.m.

Stanford goalie Brent Stewart helped preserve the tie with a stop in the seven minutes of regulation, and again midway through the first overtime.

Michael Brown’s goal in the sev-enth minute against Army ended Stanford’s 297-minute scoreless streak to start the season but it took a goal from Tunji Munabi in the 70th minute to lift the Cardinal to its first win of the season.

“That first goal was really impor-tant,” Stanford coach Bret Simon said. “Army didn’t let us get on a roll. They were able to withstand that initial goal and gain momen-tum.”

Stanford goalie John Moore re-corded two saves for the victory.

Field hockey Julia Drewes scored twice as

Stanford beat visiting Columbia, 5-1, in a nonconference match on Sunday.

Liz Robinson, Jess Zutz and Hill-ary Braun also scored as Stanford outshot the Lions, 31-6.

The Cardinal (2-3) also lost to No. 2 ranked Wake Forest, 6-0, on Friday.

Stanford travels to California (4-2) for a match on Saturday at 7 p.m.

Stanford goalkeeper Madison Bell recorded a career-high 16 saves against the Demon Deacons.■
