Anne Yoder, associate professor of ecology and evolutionary biology at Yale University, was named the new director of Duke University Primate Center Wednesday. She will also hold a primary appointment in the biology department and a secondary appointment in the biological anthropology and anatomy department.

Yoder succeeds current director William Hylander. llylander will continue his research at the center and become a professor emeritus for the BAA department. Yoder will join the Duke faculty July 1 and begin her tenure as director Jan. 1, 2006. The extra time will ensure continuity and allow Yoder time to leam about the center before taking the reins.

“Anne Yoder is a talented researcher and dynamic educator who will bring strong leadership to both the scientific and education missions of the center, as well as to its conservation programs and community service efforts,” Provost Peter Lange said in a statement.

In some ways this appointment is a return home for Yoder, a lifetime Tar Heel fan who earned her undergraduate degree in zoology in 1981 from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and her doctorate in anatomy from Duke University Medical Center in 1992.

“When I was a graduate student at Duke, my relationships got a bit chilly during the basketball season,” Yoder joked.

“It would recover during the rest of the year.”

Her passion for lemurs began when she took a primate behavior class as a junior at UNC. “We took a field trip to the Primate Center, and it blew my mind. I developed a fascination with lemurs,” she said.

CHARLOTTE With three ticks left on the clock, senior Daniel Ewing awaited the inbound pass with a huge grin on his face. He knew he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

After battling the Bulldogs for 40 draining minutes Sunday, Duke (27-5) escaped the Charlotte Coliseum with a 63-55 victory over Mississippi State on its way to its eighth straight appearance in the Sweet 16. The topseeded Blue Devils will meet fifth-seeded Michigan State Friday in Austin, Texas. “[At that point] they had no chance of winning,” Ewing said of his smirk. “It was just a relief being able to realize that I’m going back close to home, that we had won a good game, and we got Coach K a real big milestone.”

The win put head coach Mike Krzyzewski ahead of former North Carolina head coach Dean Smith for most all-time NCAA Tournament wins with 66.

Ewing was the hero for the Blue Devils Sunday, scoring 22 points, more than a third of the team’s total output.

CHAPEL HILL— For the Canisius Golden Griffins, simply playing in the NCAA Tournament was a fitting conclusion to a successful season.

Few CANISIUS 48 :ave the 80 20 0 5 DUKE M AAC champions much of a chance against the second-seeded Blue Devils, and Sunday’s Round 1 matchup unfolded as scripted.

Duke easily defeated the young,

undersized Canisius squad, 8048, and will move on to play Boston College here Tuesday.

“Obviously, we knew we were up against a really good team.

Their significant size and athletic advantage wore us out a bit,” Canisius head coach Terry Zeh said. “They’re such a good basketball team and they do so many things well that it makes it tough for us to really be prepared, but I’m certainly proud of our team.”

From the opening tip, the Blue Devils jumped out to a

sizeable lead. The Golden Griffins’ zone did little to stop the Duke attack —the taller Blue Devils (29-4) dumped uncontested passes right into the heart of the Canisius (21-10) defense. With sharpshooter Jessica Foley sidelined with tendinitis in her left foot, Duke featured a four-forward lineup that put up 46 points in the paint.

Senate passes Schiavo legislation by

Jim Abrams

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON The Senate passed a bill that could prolong Terri Schiavo’s life while House Republicans, stalled by Democrats, scrambled to bring enough lawmakers back to the Capitol for an emergency vote early Monday.

President George W. Bush rushed back from his Texas ranch for a chance to sign the measure that Republicans view as an opportunity to strengthen their support among religious conservatives ahead of next year’s congressional elections.

Rep. Jim Moran, D-Va., said Sunday that Schiavo and members of her family have “become political pawns to larger political issues.”

GOP leaders planned a House vote just past midnight, hours after the Senate approved the bill by voice vote. The White

House said the president would act as soon as the measure reaches him.

“We ought to err on the side of life in a case like this,” said White House spokesperson Scott McClellan. Asked about a bill that would cover a single person, he said, “I think most people recognize that this case involves some extraordinary circumstances.”

House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, RTexas, said the federal district court in Florida, which is open 24 hours a day, had already been informed that a petition would be filed as soon as the president signs the measure with the presumption ajudge will order that the tube be replaced.

“Time is not on Terri Schiavo’s side,” DeLay said. “The few remaining objecting House Democrats have so far cost Mrs.Schiavo two meals already today.”

Even though the legislation would pave —

an avenue for federal jurisdiction in the legal case, there was no way to determine in advance how or when ajudge would rule —or even which judge would be assigned the case by lottery.

Lawmakers who left Washington Friday

for the two-week Easter recess had to make abrupt changes in plans, backtracking for a dramatic and politically contentious vote.

Democrats expressed sympathy for the severely brain-damaged Florida woman and for the plight of her family. But they also accused Republicans of ramming

through constitutionally questionable legislation to satisfy the agenda of their conservative allies.

In a special session Sunday afternoon, Democrats refused to allow the biH to be passed without a roll call vote. Under House rules, such a vote could not occur until Monday.

Annan raises sweep ing UN changes by

Edith Lederer

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

UNITED NATIONS Secretary-General Kofi Annan called on world leaders Sunday to approve the most sweeping changes to the United Nations since it was founded 60 years ago, so it can tackle conflicts and terrorism, fight poverty and put human rights at the forefront of its work in the 21st century.

After a year of scandals over corruption in the U.N. oil-for-food program in Iraq and sex abuse by U.N. peacekeepers in Congo, Annan’s report also sets out plans to make the world body more efficient, and accountable—including open, strengthening the independence of the U.N.’s internal watchdog.

The report to the 191 members of the U.N. General Assembly was released six months before world leaders meet at U.N.

headquarters for a summit called by Annan. In its introduction, he urged the leaders to “act boldly” and adopt “the most far-reaching reforms in the history of the United Nations.”

“We will not enjoy development without security, we will not enjoy security without development, and we will not enjoy either without respect for human rights,” Annan said. “Unless all these causes are advanced, none will succeed.”

One of the major proposals calls for the creation of a Human Rights Council—possibly as a principal organ of the United Nations like the Security Council or the General Assembly —to replace the Geneva-based Commission on Human Rights. It has long faced criticism for allowing the worst-offending countries to use their membership to protect each other from condemnation.

One of the most hotly awaited parts of

the report was Annan’s recommendation for changes to the 15-member Security Council, the most powerful U.N. body now dominated by post-World War II powers the United States, Russia, China, Britain and France, who all have veto power.

The report calls for an expanded, more representative Security Council, but Annan did not endorse a specific plan, instead backing two options proposed in December by a high-level panel. One would add six new permanent members and the other would create a new tier of eight semipermanent members; two each from Asia, Africa, Europe and the Americas.

The Security Council’s use of force has also been an issue. It refused to authorize the U.S.-led war against Iraq and the war in Kosovo against the forces of former Yugoslav leader Slobodan Milosevic—decisions which angered some countries.

Walking for change

faculty vote no confidence Justin

by Pope THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BOSTON Some are calling the noconfidence vote against Harvard President Lawrence Summers a shout in the dark—a symbolic gesture from just one of many divisions of the University, and a decreasingly influential one at that.

But Tuesday’s surprise 218-185 vote by the Faculty of Arts and Sciences won’t make Summers’job any easier.

The 672-member arts and sciences faculty is indeed just one of nine faculties at Harvard that oversee 11 academic divisions, but it remains first among equals in prestige. It is the wealthiest and largest, and the physical and intellectual core of the University. Among other things, it includes Harvard College, which is the University’s undergraduate division and grants all Harvard doctorates. Its buildings in Harvard Yard are the ones on all the postcards.

More embarrassingly for Summers, it is the faculty on which he once served as an economics professor and the one with which he works most closely as president.

He runs its faculty meetings and is personally involved in tenure decisions.

“I think it carries considerable symbolic weight,” Arthur Kleinmann, an anthropologist with both arts and sciences and medical school faculty appointments, said of the vote. “This is a blow to [his] moral leadership, and he’s got to repair it.”

There was no indication Wednesday that other faculties at Harvard are considering similar moves to the no-confldence vote, though the faculty committee at Harvard’s School ofPublic Health

Groups aim to cut online cigarette sales by

Dan Englander THE CHRONICLE

Several major credit card companies, attorneys general from across the country and the Federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives are teaming up to curb online cigarette sales.

The majority of online tobacco retailers are violating at least one state or federal law, according to the groups. Online tobacco retailers often ignore state age verification laws and laws prohibiting direct shipment of cigarettes to consumers. And they often fail to pay state or federal taxes and violate the federal Jenkins Act, which requires that ciga-

rette sales that cross state lines—including online sales—be reported to the

buyer’s home state.

Also, cigarette sales made by foreign

companies over the Internet often violate federal smuggling, cigarette labeling, money laundering and contraband product laws.

In the past week, regulatory groups have enlisted the help of credit card companies to enforce these long-neglected laws.

According to an ATF statement released Thursday, all credit card companies have policies in place that prohibit using their cards for illegal transactions.

In teaming up with the credit card

companies, ATF and the National Association of Attorneys General are hoping to adopt policies to prohibit the use of credit cards for online cigarette sales and take action against retailers that accept them.

“We are taking a multifaceted, multijurisdictional approach to halting illegal Internet cigarette sales,” NAAG President and Vermont Attorney General William Sorrell said in a statement. “We believe this is the most effective and efficient strategy to enforce state and federal laws regulating online sales.”

partment back on its feet.”

The future of the center was uncertain after an internal review revealed in 2000 that the center was overly concerned with conservation and education at the expense of research. After Lange appointed Hylander in 2001, he gave the new director three years to increase the amount of research at the center. During that time, Hylander more than doubled the number of projects at the facility and secured increased funding.

Yoder said she wants to strengthen the ties between the University and the center.

She plans to reinvigorate research at all levels, including the efforts in Madagascar where most lemurs come from, and increase undergraduate involvement.

Yoder will also work with University officials to plan facility and research upgrades to the center. Duke has recently doubled its commitment of $4 million in order to cover costs for the “winterization” ofits facilities, as North Carolina’s winter weather is much colder than Madagascar’s.

Yoder said this was the only job that could have pulled her away from Yale, and she was intrigued about the current state of the center.

wrote a letter earlier this month to Summers expressing concern about his now-infamous comments about women in science at an academic conference in January.

Summers suggested that intrinsic differences between the genders might partly explain the dearth of women in top science posts in academe. The ensuing outcry led to a larger discussion of Summers’ management style, which many consider brusque and disrespectful.

Still, Summers officially answers only to the Harvard Corporation, the University’s governing body, which reiterated its support for him in a statement after the FAS vote. Summers issued a statement saying “we of course take seriously the views of faculty across Harvard” but indicated he would stay in office.

Harvard’s focus has shifted in recent years to its professional schools—notably law, medicine and business which have become massive engines ofresearch.

Some Summers supporters contend his support runs deeper at those schools, where the ivory towers aren’t quite so tall and Summers’ economist mentality and blunt management style play better.

The arts and sciences group is “the least representative faculty, the most out of touch with the real world, the most ideologically extreme,” law professor Alan Dershowitz said in a telephone interview Wednesday. “It’s not the heart and soul of the university for a lot of reasons. In some respects it’s the orphan child of the faculty.” Dershowitz noted the Harvard community also includes students and alumni, whose views have not been officially recorded.

Other opponents of online cigarette sales expressed similar concerns with Internet sales.

Jeff Lenard, a spokesperson for the National Association ofConvenience Stores, said online cigarette sales “may actually encourage smoking [because] you take away the convenience store, where there is face-to-face ID check. I think that anyone who thinks that kids can’t order cigarettes over the Internet is deluding themselves.”

Several online tobacco retailers could not be reached for comment.

Some states, like New York, Ohio and Pennsylvania, are taking a different approach by retroactively collecting back taxes from people who have purchased cigarettes online without paying state taxes.

Some officials are also concerned with public health risks associated with cheaper online tobacco sales. “It is well established that lower cigarette prices lead to increased smoking rates, which in turn lead to more

—

smoking-related illnesses and deaths,” according to an ATF statement.

Some supporters of the joint effort also fear that online tobacco sales might support terrorism. “ATF investigations show that millions of dollars each year in illegal sales of cigarettes are diverted to fund terrorists and criminal organizations,” said Michael Bouchard, ATF assistant director for field operations.

Norman Kjono, a board member of Forces International, a non-profit smokers’ rights group, said further enforcement of existing laws will increase illegal cigarette sales and related terrorist activity. He also disagrees with taxes that specifically target smokers.

“Creating an economic incentive for smuggling operations is a predictable outcome of further increasing discriminatory cigarette taxes,” Kjono wrote in an email.

Kjono, who comes from a military family, added, “I do not appreciate the fact that my son, his cousin and their comrades in arms could become targets for terrorist bullets, as a consequence of [legislators’] apparent need to ‘target’ smokers.”

Or, in simpler terms, if you miss breakfast in the Marketplace, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be able to use the value of your board breakfast ($4.85) towards a lunch purchase there.

This initiative will continue throughout the balance of the Spring semester.

Why are we doing this?

For over a year, DSG and DUSDAC (Duke University Student Advisory Committee) have heard many complaints from I st year students that because of class scheduling issues, they are unable to eat breakfast in the Marketplace, yet have to pay for it.

Testing this initiative for the next 7 weeks will allow dining services management a reasonable period of time to determine the operational and financial impact of this initiative.

CHARLOTTE In many ways, the Blue Devils faced a reflection of themselves Sunday afternoon.

Both Duke and Mississippi State are teams in major conferences with dominant low post presences. Both teams have plenty of sharpshooters from the perimeter.

And like the Blue Devils, the Bulldogs rely on a “big three” of their own—long-distance threats Winsome Frazier and Shane Power and bulldozing power forward Lawrence Roberts —to do most of the scoring. /i*»rrk£* Duke’s “big But three” outplayed Missisanalysis . .■ sippi State’s “big three” Sunday. Roberts got his points and rebounds, muscling his way to his 20th double-double of the season. But unfortunately for Frazier and Power, Duke’s guards prevented Mississippi State from hitting long-range shots, propelling the Blue Devils into their eighth consecutive Sweet 16.

“The biggest thing for us was limiting Power’s and Frazier’s threes,” senior Daniel Ewing said. “Neither one made a three-point field goal in the first half, and that was a big key for us.”

Friday night against Stanford it was Frazier who shot the Bulldogs into their second-round matchup with a 6-for-8 performance from beyond the arc. Sunday, however, he shot the Bulldogs out of the tournament with a 2-for-8 showing against Duke. Power didn’t fare much better, freeing himself for just one three-point shot, which he missed.

Meanwhile, Duke’s backcourt duo of Ewing and JJ. Redick came up with answers to every Mississippi State charge. When Gary Ervin gave the Bulldogs their first lead of the second half, it was Redick who sank foul shots just seconds later to put Duke back on top. When Mississippi State responded with a layup, Redick drilled a longrange three to keep the Bulldogs at bay.

Perhaps Redick’s mere presence had a greater impact on the game than his play.

Despite just 2-for-9 shooting from beyond the arc, Mississippi State put constant pressure on the sharpshooter.

“That’s a good thing, because you’re playing four-on-four,” Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “Sometimes when JJ. is being guarded like that, there’s so much attention that it opens up opportunities for other people.”

The main beneficiary of that attention was Redick’s backcourt mate Ewing, who led all scorers with 22 points. With 8:20 left

CHARLOTTE Although head coach Mike Krzyzewski was reluctant to talk about it all weekend, Duke’s two wins moved him into first place all-time in career NCAA Tournament victories.

Krzyzewski passes former North Carolina head coach Dean Smith and now has 66 career wins in the postseason tournament.

‘You get to the Final Four and you just kind of rack [wins] up,” Krzyzewski said.

Tve had teams that have just taken me to Final Fours. The coach doesn’t win games, the players win games.”

Duke advanced to the Sweet 16 for the eighth consecutive year and the 15th time under Krzyzewski in his 25-year tenure. His teams have also made the Final Four 10 times and won three national

championships.

It has become easier to accumulate postseason wins since the NCAA Tournament field expanded to 64 teams in 1985.

“As young as Mike is, I think he’ll put that record out where no one else can reach it,” North head Carolina coach Roy Williams said.

Krzyzewski’s mentor Bobby Knight is the next closest with 45 wins, which includes TexasTech’s victory over Gonzaga Saturday.

Although the always modest Krzyzewski downplayed the significance of the record, his players did not. Lee Melchionni said the team did celebrate the accomplishment quietly in the locker room following the game.

“It means a lot to me and to us as a team,” JJ. Redick said. “I mentioned it to the team before we went out on the court.

I said, ‘We need to win it for him.’”

When Krzyzewski was told that Redick had used the milestone as inspiration prior to the game, he was quick to joke about it.

“I hope he goes in before the next game and says, ‘Look, we’ve got to widen the margin,”’ he said.

Duke tops Tar Heels with patient offense third quarter, but Duke put the game away with a 6-0 run. Six different Blue Devils found the back of the net during the scoring deluge.

“I don’t think we were too worried,” sophomore defenseman Nick O’Hara said.

“We had just scored two in a row. We knew we were capable of striking at any time.”

Duke’s balanced attack came to the rescue of the Blue Devils’ leading scorer, Zack Greer. The freshman was stymied by the Tar Heel defense, finishing the game with a single goal.

“Greer was shut off for almost the entire game,” said Danowski, who faced similar defensive pressure last season. “He was smart with his shots, he didn’t try to force anything. Teams who have scouted him are going to stop him from touching the ball, because every time he touches the ball he scores. They did a good job of shutting him off, but the other guys scored eventually.”

Despite giving up 10 goals, the Duke defense limited North Carolina’s offensive chances.

“I think our whole defense played well,” O’Hara said. “We held [Jed] Prossner to one goal, and he’s supposed to be one the best attackmen in the country. We kept their big guys out of the game.”

The win over the Tar Heels was the Blue Devils’ second spring break victory. Duke defeated Loyola 6-5 at Koskinen Stadium March 12.

The win propels Duke to the top of the four-team ACC lacrosse league and extends the Blue Devils’ best start since 1998, when they opened the season with nine straight wins.

“This win ranks up there with our best,” sophomore attack Matt Danowski said.

“Even though UNC isn’t ranked very high, they still have a very good team. DukeUNC is always going to be a good game and it’s a great rivalry.”

Midfielder Peter Lamade led the Blue Devils with four goals. The Chevy Chase, Md., native kept his team in the game by opening the second half with back-to-back goals that tied the score at 6-6.

“We certainly got a huge lift from Peter Lamade,” head coach Mike Pressler said.

“We were really impatient last week against Loyola, and I thought we did a pretty good job of staying patient on offense today as Carolina slowed things down.”

Two quick goals put the Tar Heels up 8-6 with nine minutes remaining in the

Foley's injury leaves Duke in peril by

Gregory Beaton THE CHRONICLE

CHAPEL HILL The Blue Devils were hoping that their “eight is enough” rally cry from 2002 would ring true again this year. Now that junior guard Jessica Foley has developed tendinitis in her left foot, they must hope that just seven players can suffice.

Foley sat out Sunanalysis ’s first-round game and has not been through a full practice since the loss to North Carolina in the ACC Tournament final March 7. She is wearing a protective boot on the injured foot to take the pressure off of it. Both she and head coach Gail Goestenkors deemed her status to be

FIVE ACC TEAMS ADVANCE Five of the conference-record seven NCAA Tournament teams moved on to the second round. North Carolina, Virginia and Florida State rolled over lower-seeded opponents, but things weren't so easy for Maryland. Playing at home, the Terps rode Shay Doron's 26 points in a second-half rally to defeat Wisconsin-Green Bay. Fifth-seeded N.C. State was shocked by Middle Tennessee after leading scorer Billie McDowell left the game in the first half with a knee injury.

day-to-day.

Foley’s injury raises serious concerns for a Duke team that was already thin, especially in the backcourt.

“It affects us because it affects our depth, it affects our ball-handling and it affects our outside shooting,” Goestenkors said. “She’s one of our smartest players.”

Foley has been pivotal in Duke’s success this year. Lindsey Harding’s seasonlong suspension and Caitlin Howe’s variety of injuries have left the Blue Devils extremely shorthanded at the guard position, with Foley starting at shooting guard and freshman Wanisha Smith playing at the point. Along with Monique Currie, a natural forward, Foley had been asked to shoulder some of the ball-handling re-

sponsibilities.

With Foley sitting out Sunday’s game against Canisius, Goestenkors had little

choice but go to a big lineup that included senior Wynter Whitley starting at forward and Currie in the second guard slot next to Smith. Whidey’s start left only two Duke players on the bench —reserve center Chante Black and sharp-shooting Laura Kurz. Goestenkors was probably not counting on the freshman guard playing serious minutes during the tournament.

Against Canisius, Whitley and Kurz stepped up admirably. The pair recorded 31 and 25 minutes, respectively, and Whitley totaled 12 points and five rebounds.

so well,” junior Mistie Williams said. “We have always wanted an inside-out game and some days we do it better than others, but we definitely worked on our passing.

“I think that’s our mindset—we just have to find away to get it in. We definitely took advantage of that today, and it showed.”

Williams led the Blue Devils with 21 points Sunday and teamed up with junior Monique Currie and freshman Chante Black to dominate in the paint. The three forwards combined for 51 points and 30 rebounds.

Duke’s size created equally advantageous matchups on the defensive end. The Blue Devils blocked 10 shots Sunday, forcing the Golden Griffins to run their offense from beyond the arc.

Shannon Rowbury, Paige Miller and Debra Vento earned All-American honors at the NCAA Indoor Championship March 12 at the University of Arkansas.

“It was our best national meet ever and a good cumulation of our indoor season,” assistant coach Kevin Jermyn said.

Rowbury, who had been named ACC Most Valuable Performer and Southeast Regional Runner of the Year a week earlier, placed second in the mile with a time of 4:39.02.

She started the race conservatively and ran within the lead pack. Without a clear leader for the first two laps, Nebraska’s Anne Shadle surged ahead and did not surrender her advantage. Shadle, edging out Rowbury by less than a second, ran a personal best and set a school record in the event.

“Nobody wanted to take the lead in the first couple of laps,” Rowbury said. “[Shadle] took the lead and kept dropping the pace. I tried to move up on her on the back stretch, but I didn’t make my move soon enough. It is really hard to overtake [another runner] on the banked curves.”

A day earlier at the championships, Yento’s high jump of 5-10.75 earned her a seventh place finish. The sophomore cleared each of the first four heights and was tied in first place. Although her multiple attempts at the next height were close, she narrowly missed advancing. Vento, a sophomore, is the youngest Duke women’s field athlete to earn All-America honors.

Miller, in her last indoor race of her Duke career, ran to a sixth place finish with a time of 9:26.43 in the 3,000-meter race while teammate Sally Meyerhoff placed 13th with a time of 9:37.22 in the event.

The race featured pushing and shoving as the lead pack started out slowly. As a result of the physical race, Stanford and Villanova runners fell and both Meyerhoffand Miller had to hurdle over them.

Miller and the lead pack picked up the pace after 10 of the 16 laps, leaving Meyerhoffand other runners behind. Meyerhoff was still feeling the effects of a hamstring injury from earlier in die season.

“It became a very physical and tactical race,” Jermyn said. “[Miller] kicked really well.”

Meyerhoff teamed up with Meghan Leon, Alison Stankavage and Lauren Made in die distance medley relay. The group placed lOdi with a dme of 11:26.10. Leon and Stankavage started their respective 1,200- and 400-meter legs of the race strong but could not hold on to their leads.

The relay team raced the last two legs in lOdi place without close competitors.

The Blue Devils began the outdoor season Friday at the Tar Heel Opener, highlighted by the women’s throwers. Freshman Diana Pucurs, in her first collegiate meet, set the school record in the javelin with a throw of 42.7 meters. She finished first in the event and automatically qualified for both the NCAA Outdoor Regionals and ECAC Outdoor Championships.

TeammateBeth Maher took second place in the javelin with a mark of 39.71 meters.

Duke’s 184-pounder had his chance this weekend but fell two wins short at the NCAA Wrestling Championships in St. Louis. Comely, who won a pair of matches at nationals last year and two more this weekend, finishes his career with four wins at NCAAs, the most ever for a Duke wrestler.

“I would have liked for it to turn out differendy, but it just didn’t work out,” Comely said. “Looking back, I did everything I could. I trained as hard as I could.

I have no regrets, and I can walk away with my head held high.”

Comely opened the tournament with a 10-4 first-round loss to No. 12 seed C.B. Dollaway of Arizona State. The loss sent Comely to the consolation bracket, also known as the wresde-backs, where he would need to win four straight matches to place in the top eight and earn AllAmerican status.

“I think winning that opening match would have really helped for momentum and confidence,” head coach Clar Anderson said. “Coming through the wrestlebacks is brutal.”

Comely was able to rebound from his opening loss with an 8-5 decision over Old Dominion’s Adam Wright to advance to the second day of the tournament.

The win was Comely’s second over Wright this season.

“I was upset about that first loss, but I knew I had to get over it quickly,” Comely said. “I feel like I was mentally ready to wresde again.”

Comely began the second day the way he ended the first. Facing Indiana’s Andy Rios, Comely survived a high-scoring first period and used a late takedown to earn a 14-13 victory. But Comely was unable to continue his win streak, falling to No. 10 seed Roger Kish of Minnesota 7-2. The loss brought an end to Comely’s Duke career.

Blaum leads Duke to Ist spring title by

Andrew Yaffe

THE CHRONICLE

All the men’s golf team could do was post a score and wait, hoping that it would be good enough to win the title at the Ez-Go Invitational Sunday in Statesboro, Ga. Duke’s four-over-par 868 was low enough to edge out 12th-ranked Auburn, and nine other top-25 teams, by one stroke. The victory was the first of the spring for the 17th-ranked Blue Devils.

Duke entered Sunday’s final round four strokes behind then-first-place Tennessee and three behind the eventual runners-up. The Tigers fired a two-over-par round Sunday, just missing an amazing comeback. As its final players reached the 18th tee, Auburn was one stroke back but could not record a birdie on the par 5 to catch the Blue Devils.

Blaum, who along with Nathan Smith

finished in a tie for sixth place at one over, led the Blue Devils in the final round with a four-under-par 68. Blaum was five over par entering the final round but carded four birdies and 14 pars Sunday. After starting the second round with a bogey, Blaum notched 17 consecutive pars, giving him an impressive 35-hole streak without a bogey.

“Ryan really managed himself around the course and made some key putts,” head coach Rod Myers said. “For him to go a round without any bogeys, we’re watching the Ryan Blaum ofold.”

Freshman Michael Schachner started his final round by birdieing three of his first seven holes and played even par the rest of the way, ending with a 69. He finished at five-over par for the tournament in a tie for 24th place.

THE CHRONICLE

Although the baseball team traveled to Coral Gables, Fla., during spring break, the players were not there on vacation. Instead, they took on the No. 6 Hurricanes, dropping their three games, 14-3, 12-1, 6-1, respectively.

The Blue Devils then bounced back with a 5-3 win March 15 against Navy, but the team failed to build a win streak, getting swept by Wright State (6-8) this weekend.

Despite late-game rallies against the Raiders, the Blue Devils (7-16) failed to capitalize on their opportunities and lost by a single run each day.

“We ended with great energy, but we had no energy to start the game,” head coach Bill Hillier said. “Our guys need to be mentally ready to play when they get to the ballpark.”

Duke freshman Josh Albert hit a ball over the fence in the bottom of the ninth Sunday, but Wright State’s Ross Vagedes reached over the wall to catch the ball and end another comeback bid.

The offense has produced runs more consistently in the early innings of late. In the team’s win over Navy, a fourrun third inning put Duke far enough ahead to hang on to its first win of die month. Brett Bardes, who is averaging .436 in his first collegiate season, picked up two RBIs. Greg Burke earned his fourth win of the season against the Midshipmen, striking out eight batters in six innings.

But that game was the sole highlight of an otherwise disappointing couple of weeks for the Blue Devils. The Hurricanes’ pitchers kept Duke relatively quiet at the SEE BASEBALL ON PAGE 10

The top-seeded women’s golf team returned to a familiar position last weekend.

After two uncharacteristic loses to open the spring schedule, the Blue Devils eked out a one-stoke victory in the Betsy Rawls Longhorn Invitational in Austin, Texas.

“It was good to get a win,” head coach Dan Brooks said.

“I’ve seen a lot ofhard work from my players this spring, and they just weren’t getting the results they were used to. This team likes to win, and this win was good for their spirits.”

Duke opened the final round March 13 one stoke behind tournament-leaderArkansas and two strokes ahead ofOklahoma State. With the Razorbacks turning in a 28over-par performance and dropping to fifth, the Cowboys and Blue Devils battled for the title down the stretch.

Anna Grzebien, who finished 54th in the team’s last event, elevated her game for the entire tournament and led Duke to its first spring championship. Firing her tournament-best, two-over-par 74 Sunday, the sophomore finished the event in second, equaling her previous top collegiate finish “Anna really showed that nothing will get her down,” Brooks said. “There were difficult conditions all weekend, and she displayed lots of patience.”

The tournament was held at the newly constructed University of Texas Golf Club, and in addition to the heavy winds that gusted all weekend, the golfers had to cope with new greens that Brooks said were especially firm and difficult to read.

Despite the conditions, three Blue Devils finished in the top 10 and Duke’s fourth golfer came in 14th. The trio of Grzebien, Liz Janangelo and Brittany Lang played consistent golf throughout the tournament, scoring for the Blue Devils during all three rounds of play.

“Everybody on the team made a contribution,” Brooks said. “The conditions were extremely difficult, but we just kept our composure and wore the competition down.”

Janangelo, the reigning NCAA Player of the Year, finished in the seventh position, and Lady Gator Invitational champion Lang snuck into the 10th position with her one-over round Sunday. Lang’s final round was the best for any Blue Devil on the weekend, and a birdie on her third-to-last hole sealed the victory.

The team’s lone senior, Niloufar Aazam-Zanganeh, finished 14th, but struggled in her first round. Freshman Jennifer Pandolfi, however, fired a solid seven-over-par 79 in the opener and made her contribution to the team’s narrow victory.

“It feels really good to get a win,” Brooks said. “I think this bodes really well for the rest of our season.”

Duke has two more weeks offbefore it competes in the Bryan National Collegiate in nearby Browns Summit, N.C.

The Catamounts knocked offfourth-seeded Syracuse, 60-58, with two late three-pointers.

The Bison sent No. 3 seed Kansas home early, earning the first-ever NCAA Tournament victory for the Patriot League.

The two teams, however, lost in the second round to Michigan State and Wisconsin, respectively.

N.C. STATE ADVANCES Julius Hodge just won't let his career end.

The senior led N.C. State to a pair of upset victories over Charlotte and Connecticut in the first two rounds. His three-point play with less than five seconds left sent the Huskies packing and the Wolfpack into the Sweet 16. Head coach Herb Sendek, who was on the hot-seat before the tournament, is likely safe now.

NO. 3 SEEDS FALL After two rounds, Arizona is the only No. 3 seed still standing. Kansas lost in the first round to Bucknell and sixth-seeded Utah downed Oklahoma in the Austin region.

Gonzaga lost in the second to Texas Tech, giving Bob Knight his first trip to the Sweet 16 in a decade.

JJ. Redick said after the first game of the ACC Tournament that he was adjusting to the rims at the MCI Center.

But by the time the junior slipped his strand out of the net Sunday afternoon, he had clearly made the necessary adjustment. Redick scored 61 points during the final two games, picking up Tournament MVP honors as Duke left Washington, D.C. with its sixth title in seven years.

And Redick, who was tagged with first team All-ACC honors before the tournament, has been scooping up awards and accolades ever since. The Duke co-captain was named ACC Player of the Year Wednesday, easily beating out North Carolina’s Sean Man and Wake Forest’s Chris Paul.

“I was a little surprised that I got it,” said Redick, who was selected on 68 of the 121 ballots cast by the members of the Adantic Coast Sports Media Association. “It’s just a huge honor considering the number of great players in this league who all had great seasons. I think you could take a handful of guys and choose any one of them.”

Ten other Blue Devils have won ACC Player of the Year honors, most recently Shane Battier in 2001.

Redick picked up another honor Sunday when the number of candidates for the Naismith Trophy, given to the nation’s top men’s basketball player, was cut from 30 to four. He made the list along with

Although Redick’s points still tend to come in bunches, he has diversified his game and is willing to drive the ball much more consistendy this season. He almost always draws an opponent’s top defender, but despite the attention, Redick has scored an ACC-leading 22.1 points per game.

Redick stepped up his conditioning in the off-season and has averaged a teamhigh 37.2 minutes per game, including playing all 80 minutes during Duke’s final two ACC Tournament contests. Redick has played from start to finish 11 times this season and missed just one minute on six other occasions.

“I think it is kind of a badge of honor, the number of minutes I play,” Redick said. “There’s a lot of teams that have a lot of depth, and their star players can afford to play only 30 minutes and play fresh every night. I’ve got to be the best conditioned guy in the league, and I’ve done that this year.”

Redick has gotten off to a slow start in his third NCAA Tournament. He hoisted up just seven shots, six of which were threes, and made just one against Delaware State Friday. Redick scored 16 points on 17 shots from the field Sunday against Mississippi State.

CHARLOTTE —Just two weeks ago head coach Mike Krzyzewski said his team was preparing to play the rest of the season without point guard Sean Dockery.

Then last week before the ACC Tournament he said Dockery’s torn medial collateral ligament was healing quicker than expected. Krzyzewski said Dockery would likely be back for the NCAA Tournament, but not necessarily for the opening rounds.

So when Dockery started Friday’s first-round contest against 16th-seeded Delaware State Friday, it was a welcome sign for the Blue Devils, who were playing with their entire roster for the first time since Dec. 18 against Oklahoma.

“The knee feels great,” said Dockery, who played 24 minutes Friday. “While I was out, I had great respect for basketball and life. I learned a lot —I learned how to be a coach.”

Dockery, who said he felt 80 percent ready physically to play Friday, did not take long to make his presence felt. He nailed his first two three-point attempts, helping to give Duke an 8-1 lead.

“I kind of had it in my mind that I was going to shoot the ball when I first got a look,” said Dockery, who finished with eight points and three assists in his first game since Feb. 23.

Dockery contributed five points, four rebounds and an assist Sunday in Duke’s 63-55 win over Mississippi State.

He played 18 minutes, but after a collision in the second half, he came up limping. He went into the locker room but came back to the court and re-entered the game.

Leading 55-53 with less than two minutes to play, J.J. Redick stole the ball from

the Bulldogs’ Gary Ervin near midcourt and took off toward the other end. Winsome Frazier blocked Redick’s layup attempt, but Ewing trailed the play and put in the deflection to give Duke a fourpoint cushion.

After Mississippi State’s Lawrence Roberts dunked home two of his 17 points to pull the game back within two, Ewing scored another big basket. He drove the ball down to the left block and banked in the game’s final field goal.

“It was tough to score today,” Krzyzewski said. “They played really good defense, and obviously we did too. We feel fortunate to win.”

Just as it had in the second half of Friday’s game against Delaware State and throughout the year, the Blue Devils clamped down on the defensive end. They were successfully able to funnel Mississippi State players toward the baseline, where help side defense awaited.

Although Duke was only credited for six blocks, the tandem of Shelden Williams and Shavlik Randolph altered many other shots and held the Bulldogs to 32.3 percent

shooting.

“We played really good defense today,

and we rebounded well against a rebounding team,” Krzyzewski said. “Besides Daniel and Shelden’s performances, the story of the game was we were able to rebound with them and we continued to play good defense.”

After leading by eight at halftime, Duke built the lead to 11 before Mississippi State came storming back. Protecting a 40-36 lead, Ewing and Redick missed layups on consecutive trips down the court, and the Bulldogs’ Ontario Harper hit a three.

Coming out of a 30-second Duke timeout, Williams’ dunk attempt was stuffed by the front rim, and Ervin made a layup at the other end to give the Bulldogs a onepoint lead heading into the media timeout. It was in that huddle that Krzyzewski said his team regrouped and showed its tough character.

“We said, ‘Look, you’re getting great shots, you’re really good players—just don’t let it affect your defense, your offense will come,’” Krzyzewski said. “That’s the kind of team I’ve had all year. Those were three big misses.”

The Blue Devils regained the lead on two Redick free throws, and he hit a threepointer less than a minute later. Although Redick finished the game with 16 points, he struggled from the field for the second consecutive game. The junior shot just 5for-17, which includes 2-for-9 from threepoint range, as Frazier held him in check.

in at the same time, every time we drove they had two shot blockers in there,” Redick said. “Another time I drove, the kid Harper took a charge on me so they played real good interior defense.”

Mississippi State, which is one of the biggest teams Duke has faced all season, made a concerted effort to attack the inside and get Williams and Randolph in foul trouble. Although Williams picked up his third foul with 18:03 remaining, he played the rest of the game without ever picking up his fourth. Randolph was whistled for his fourth with 14:29 to go, and sat for a short period, but also avoided the disqualification. Their presence was key to the win as each recorded a block in the final minute.

“I’ve been in this situation all year and so have our guys so they don’t look at it as tenuous,” Krzyzewski said of having to play through foul trouble. “I don’t like it but we’re accustomed to it, so we just play.”

The Blue Devils will now prep for a rematch with Michigan State, a team they beat 81-74 Nov. 30.

NOTES: When the Blue Devils travel to Austin, Texas for next weekend’s regional finals it will be Daniel Ewing’s first trip back to his home state since high 5ch001.... Duke has kept its opponents under 70 points in its last eight games and allowed them to shoot just .281 from three-point range.... The Blue Devils are now 35-6 as

a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament.... With N.C. State advancing over Connecticut and North Carolina winning over lowa State, all three of the triangle area schools will be in the Sweet 16 for the first time since 1989 and the third time overall.

N.C. State pulls off upset over UConn by

John Kekis

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WORCESTER,

Mass.

Julius

Hodge shouted to his fans at the buzzer, saying he knew this would happen all along: North Carolina State was heading to the round of 16, and the defend-

Junior JJ.Redick defends Delaware State's Bruce Davis Friday night at the Charlotte Coliseum.

BIG THREE from page 1 in the game, he snapped a 45-45 tie with a three-pointer for a lead Duke would not relinquish. Then, with just 1:01 left in the game and Mississippi State down just two points, Duke’s quiet leader nailed a short jumper to extend his career by at least one more game.

“Our senior was the best player on the court tonight,” Krzyzewski said. “He was sensational.”

After a mini-slump during the ACC season, Ewing appears to have new life as a playmaker. In the NCAA Tournament, Ewing is averaging 17 Points two in J gs J | .V-Kgames, and, per-

haps more impressively, is shooting 6-for-11 from three-point range, replenishing Duke’s perimeter punch during Redick’s recent shooting woes. Mississippi State head coach Rick Stansbury singled out Ewing as the player that caused the most damage in his team’s loss.

“I’m a senior, so I just have to go out and give it my all,” Ewing said. “I’m trying to win because I don’t want it to end right now. I feel like we have a lot of basketball left to play.”

Next up for Ewing and the Blue Devils is Michigan State, a team he torched for a season-high 29 points in an 81-74 victory Nov. 30. With similar performances, Ewing and the rest of Duke’s “big three” could play themselves into a second consecutive Final Four.

That was a war, now, wasn't it?

Yeah, it was. We knew coming in that it was going to be a very physical game, especially for us because they had a lot of big guys. And then they interchange them in and out throughout the whole course of the game.

ing champion was knocked out—again.

Hodge scored on a slashing drive through the lane with 4.3 seconds left to break a 62-all tie and send North Carolina State past second-seeded Connecticut 65-62 Sunday in the second round of the NCAA Tournament.

N.C. State (21-13), the 10th seed in the Syracuse Regional, advances to the regional semifinals for the first time since 1989 and will play Wisconsin.

No team has repeated since Duke in 1991-92, but the defending national champion Huskies (23-8) seemed almost a lock to at least move past the second round. They went into the game 27-0 against teams seeded sixth or lower in the tournament. And in 19 years under coach Jim Calhoun, they were 23-2 in the first two rounds of the tournament, reaching the regional semifinals 13 times.

The loss also was a setback for the Big East conference, which has lost four teams so far, including a No. 2 seed and two No. 4 seeds.

Hodge, who yelled, “I told you! I told you!” to Wolfpack fans after the buzzer sounded, was fouled by Ed Nelson on his drive and completed the three-point play. When Marcus

Is Lawrence Roberts as physical a player as

you've had to face this year?

I wouldn't say that. Eric

Williams from Wake Forest, that's a big guy, too, and then you've obviously got Sean May from North Carolina. I've been battling guys of that size throughout the conference so it wasn't like it was that big of an adjustment.

How does it feel to get Coach K his record

65th win?

It was very special for us to be able to be a part of history. Hopefully we can get a couple more wins and put [the National

Championship] underneath the belt.

CHRIS

Williams’ desperation three at the buzzer fell short, the Wolfpack had its biggest win in 16 years.

Hodge finished with 17 points and six assists, Cameron Bennerman had his second straight solid game with 15 points, Ilian Evtimov had 11 before fouling out with 2:16 left, and Andrew Brackman had 10 points.

On Duke's first-half

defense:

We knew that Mississippi State likes to get up and down and run the floor, so we knew our defense was going to be tested. We

tried to limit their shots because we knew they were a great offensive rebounding team and overall a great rebounding team.

KEANE/KRT

Two teammates hug Julius Hodge as N.C. State celebrates its victory over Connecticut Sunday.

On the difficulty of fac-

ing a team of Mississippi State's caliber in the second round: This is a very tough game, especially for the second round. This kind of game, you'd probably see in the Elite Eight or maybe even in the Final Four. It was a very tough game for us, and fortunately we were able to come out on top.

WOMEN'S TENNIS

Carleton lifts Blue Devils to 3 straight wins by

Will Waggenspack THE CHRONICLE

Jackie Carleton was having a tough winter.

She was battling tendinitis in her foot.

She cramped in the deciding match of Duke’s most recent loss to William & Mary. And she had not won in a dual sin. 1 gles match all indoor season.

Last week, as 1/NLV 2 Duke moved to the outdoor courts for the first dme in 2005, Carleton finally looked like the heralded All-American transfer who had been ranked as high as No. 14 at UCLA. Even though some Blue Devils struggled with the outdoor conditions and the team failed to win a single doubles point during its three-match road trip, Carleton gave Duke the lift it needed. The junior won all three ofher singles matches at the No. 2 spot as the Blue Devils went 3-0.

“This will help her confidence heading into the rest of the season,” head coach Jamie Ashworth said of Carleton’s

I

s_

performance.

The No. 7 Blue Devils (10-3) defeated No. 15 Texas, No. 28 Arizona State and No. 32 UNLV over spring break.

Ashworth said his team usually struggles in its first outdoor match, but other than losing the doubles point against Texas (8-3), the Blue Devils handled the change well. Duke gained a 3-2 advantage over the Longhorns and put Carleton in position to win the overall contest for the

PETER GEBHARD/THE CHRONICLE

JackieCarleton struggled during the indoor season, but after battling tendinitis, she should climb in rankings. second time in as many matches Carleton battled to win the first set in a tiebreaker, and the second was less competitive as the junior dispatched her opponent 6-2.

After defeating Texas, the Blue Devils

found themselves in another close contest with Arizona State (5-4) three days later at the Whiteman Tennis Center in Tempe, Ariz. For the first time all season, weather became a factor.

“The conditions were tough as it was

very warm and windy,” Ashworth said.

“With conditions like that, we talked about our mental toughness—being tough and to not let the elements bother you.”

Katie Blaszak and Clelia Deltour had to exert that toughness as the Blue Devils trailed 3-2. Both came through in their three-set matches despite the heat. Deltour played an up-and-down match, beating her opponent 6-0, 5-7, 6-3. Then Blaszak won her 15th match of the year, edging out her opponent 7-6, 5-7, 6-3 to give Duke another 4-3 victory.

Although Arizona State dominated doubles play, the Blue Devils came back to take a 2-1 lead after Saras Arasu and Carleton won their respective matches. The Sun Devils responded by defeating Kristin Cargill and Jennifer Zika to go ahead 3-2, putting the pressure on Blaszak and Deltour.

“In singles, we did a good job of being tough,” Ashworth said. “Saras getting the quick win was big for us.”

Duke concluded its road trip with a solid singles showing in Las Vegas where the Blue Devils took five of six singles matches to defeat UNLV 5-2.

UNLV (74) had an early 1-0 lead as Duke dropped the doubles point for the fourth consecutive match.

“In doubles, we have a lot of work to do,” said Ashworth.

The Blue Dfevils responded by winning at the three, four and fiVe singles spots to go on top 3-1. Blaszak lost her match before Tory Zawacki and Carleton won their matches in three sets for the win.

MEN'S TENNIS

DUKE SWEEPS 3 ON TEXAS ROAD TRIP by

Jordan Koss

THE CHRONICLE

The stars aligned over spring break for the No. 4 men’s tennis team, as Duke posted three consecutive 4-3 victories over No. 16 Texas, No. 12 Texas A&M and No. 32 Texas Christian.

DUKE The Blue DevTCU -3 ils’ (11-2) toughest Lone Star State victory came against lowest-ranked TCU (5-5) Wednesday. Duke fell behind 32 with Stephen Amritraj down a break at 5-3 in the third set. Amritraj, playing the No. 3 position, broke back and pulled off the 6-3, 5-7, 7-6(3) comeback to even the score at 3-3.

Senior Peter Shults clinched the win for the second time in three matches, winning 6-3, 6-3 at No. 6 to give Duke its third triumph in five days.

“Stephen obviously made the match,” head coach Jay Lapidus said. “He showed a lot of heart after losing to Texas A&M in three sets, and the other team had the momentum at that point. It was a great effort, probably one of the best efforts we’ve had all year.”

Duke began the trip as a No. 5 team looking to show it deserved the acclaim.

In the Blue Devils’ first match, however, the Longhorns swept the doubles competition without a threat, climbing to a 1-0

advantage.

Then the Blue Devils came alive, with the thrust coming from the bottom four singles positions. Shults sealed this win as well with a 6-3, 7-6 victory at the No. 6 spot.

This followed straight-set triumphs by Amritraj, freshman Charles Brezac and sophomore Peter Rodrigues at the No. 3, 4 and 5 positions, respectively. Ludovic Walter,

ranked second nationally, and Jonathan Stokke dropped three-set matches at the top two singles positions for Duke.

“Peter Shults won a pretty tough match at No. 6, ahead 3-2 with the other match very close,” Lapidus said. “He was really clutch for us.”

The match against the Aggies Monday in College Station, Texas, had the same suspense as the other two wins, but this time Rodrigues was the savior. With Duke leading 3-2 after a doubles sweep and straight-set wins from Shults and Walter, “P-Rod” blew away Yevgeny Supeko in the rubber set, claiming a 6-4, 3-6, 6-1 victory.

Senior Jason Zimmermann, who started regularly a year ago, made his only appearance of the road trip, teaming with Walter at No. 1 doubles for an 8-4 triumph.

“Peter Rodrigues played so well for us all week,” Lapidus said. “The match was down to a third set, and Peter handled it

easily.”

Lapidus also mentioned that the

weather was not as much of a factor as it often is in Texas for the first two matches—the TCU match was indoors. Specifically, the coach said the wind can kick up in Texas, but it was relatively calm this time around.

With the victories, Duke is likely to remain in the top four nationally and appears ready for the heavy part of the conference schedule, which begins at home against Florida State March 27.

“The guys are really excited,” Lapidus said. “After Phillip King graduated, I thought we were a No. 15 or No. 20 team.

But we’re pulling out matches, and we have 10 to 12 guys who can all play. We’re having great success, and hopefully we can keep it up.”

The Blue Devils won three tight matches against out-of-conference competition in Texas over break.

WOMEN'S LACROSSE from page 4 goals, allowing Maryland to turn a potential blowout into a much tighter contest.

Defensively, the Blue Devils were also looking for a true challenge, maintaining a goals-against average of 6.2 per game. Although anchored in the net by junior Megan Huether, the unit had yet to see a true leader emerge from the group. Additionally, the Maryland game also revealed Duke’s occasional habit of relying on its offense to bail it out of sometimes streaky defense. .All of these problems would eventually coalesce and come to the forefront in the Blue Devils’ heart-breaking 12-11 loss to No. 4 North Carolina (6-2,1-1) March 12. Despite three-goal performances from both Chrest and freshman Caroline Cryer, the Blue Devils squandered a three-goal advantage in the game’s final 14 minutes.

North Carolina’s Meg Freshwater scored the eventual game-winning goal with 2:35 remaining, as Duke’s subsequent shots all went wide of the net.

“We had a lot of opportunities and failed to capitalize,” sophomore Michelle Menser said. “We just needed to be more accurate and put the ball in the back of the net. Our shots hit the post at the end of the game. Had it been a quarter of an inch the other way, we would have tied it up.”

Although the Blue Devils attempted to rebound in their next game against No. 1 Princeton (3-1) March 16, Duke’s second-half woes would re-emerge as the Tigers won, 7-4.

With rainy weather and cold temperatures forcing the game to be played on the turf fields adjacent to Koskinen Stadium, Duke’s usual speed advantage and fast-break was nullified by the narrow width of the playing surface.

After falling behind 3-0 early in the first half, the Blue Devils’ defense stepped up and shut down the Princeton attack. This scoring lapse allowed Duke to fight back before eventually tying the game at 4-4 with 20 minutes to play. But Duke’s offense would not score again for the rest of the game, as Princeton netted three goals in the final five minutes.

“We were paranoid about turning the ball over and

making stupid mistakes,” Chrest said. “We dominated time of possession in the second half but couldn’t get enough shots off or get near enough to the goal to put the game away.”

Anxious to stop their two-game skid, the Blue Devils quickly found solace heading up the coast to face No. 3 Georgetown (4-1) in Washington March 19. The matchup was especially meaningful to Duke’s seniors, as it was their last chance to avenge two recent loses to the Hoyas in the NCAA Tournament, most notably last year’s opening round 14-13 overtime upset.

Although Georgetown was able to overcome a fourgoal deficit when Duke was again shut out for a long stretch in the second half, the Blue Devils were finally able to break through at the end. Senior Katie Laschinger scored the eventual game-winning goal with 6:34 to play, and Chrest tacked on two soon thereafter to secure a 107 Duke victory.

“We really wanted to make a statement about this year’s team, that we could turn things around,” Chrest said. “It was a huge, huge step for our team.”

MEN'S GOLF from page 4 “For Blaum and Schachner to shoot in the 60s—that’s a heck of a score,” Myers said.

Those low scores hid three higher scores, which were conveniently spaced out over the three rounds. The Blue Devils notched four scores of 76 or below each round, giving them just enough for the win.

Freshman Michael Quagliano played inconsistently, carding a 78 in the first round and an 80 on the final day.

His second-round 71 was integral to the victory, however, as Schachner stumbled to an 80.

“Quagliano played really well in the afternoon and Schachner struggled [Saturday],” Myers said Sunday.

“Today was the reverse. If you don’t match rounds up well, it can really cost you. We were fortunate to get four solid scores at the right times.”

Smith entered the final round at even par in a tie for eighth place. The junior was one under through 12 holes Sunday before double-bogeying the par-3 13th hole.

“Nate justmissed getting up-and-down for birdie on 12 and then struggled on 13,” Myers said. “Those two holes cost him a chance at the individual title.”

Smith finished two strokes back of Mark Anderson of South Carolina and Georgia Southern’sjon David Kennedy.

Anderson won the individual tide in a two-hole playoff.

Sophomore Jake Grodzinsky played his best overall tournament of the spring season, finishing at six over and in a tie for 24th place. Each of his rounds was inconsistent, though, as he recorded at least four bogeys and two birdies each time out.

Duke’s win was its first tournament victory since the Duke Classic in October 2004. The Blue Devils return to action April 2 to 3 in Augusta, Ga.

BASEBALL from page 5 plate, as nine Miami pitchers combined for 24 strikeouts over the weekend. Even though the Blue Devils were able to rack up 10 hits in the first game of the series, they man-

to leave 13 batters stranded on base. Meanwhile, Miami took advantage ofits opportunities with batters on base and scored 14 runs.

“They threw very well,” junior Adam Murray said. “It was a little frustrating because we thought we could hit some of their pitchers. But they played very well, and they played hard. We just didn’t get anything going.”

The ACC newcomer and perennial top-10 team handily beat the Blue Devils in the teams’ first ever series. Duke remains winless in the conference, sitting at the bottom of the ACC after losing all six of its games against Georgia Tech and Miami.

“They played all facets of the game at a very high level,” Murray said. “They really battled every at bat like it was the most important at bat of the game.

“That’s what good teams do, and we have to strive to be more like that. They were a perfect example, and that’s why they’ve been so successful.”

The Blue Devils said they know what it takes to win in a talent-laden conference like the ACC, but execution has proven difficult for Duke.

“I think we need to realize that the first inning is just as important as the last inning and playing with mental focus and maintain it throughout the game,” Murray said. “People need to realize that mistakes in the first are as imporfanT'aS mistakes in the late innings.”

return to the

Boston College, Duke’s players will all need to elevate their level of play if Foley is still out.

“We put a little bit more pressure on ourselves to do a little bit more,” Whitley said. “Everyone has to pick it up in anything they can do.”

The Blue Devils will each be asked to do a number of unfamiliar things on the court. Mistie Williams was asked to play small forward Sunday alongside a lineup that included 6-foot-7 Alison Bales and 6foot-5 Chante Black.

“They’re not just the biggest team we’ve played, they’re bigger than our men’s team,” Canisius head coach Terry Zeh said.

The bigger lineup can be either a blessing or a curse for Duke. Against a team like Canisius, the Blue Devils were able to overpower and pick apart their opponent on both ends of the floor.

But against a more talented team, the matchup problems Duke created could end up burning them. The Blue Devils switched on screens when playing the Golden Griffins, but trading defensive assignments all the time will leave Duke dangerously susceptible to teams that have quick guards who can hit from the outside or drive to the basket.

On offense, Duke will need to rely on Currie and Smith even more. The two are also Duke’s most effective playmakers, so additional ball-handling responsibilities could affect their scoring output.

The Blue Devils will also be soft on both ends because any foul trouble could spell disaster.

Meanwhile, Duke is hoping that the concerns will be moot and that Foley can

Kiss me, taxi driver

J

'uliana had been up all night, in her words, “throwing everything [she] ate,” and was unable to pick me up at my hostel. She was supposed to take me out to some museums and then to the airport for my 7 p.m. flight.

It would have been a great way to kill the hangover I had, spend the day with a friend and economically arrive at my taking off point.

Instead, I’m walking along Copacabana beach trying to hitch a bus for the 15-kilometertrip out there, time is ticking and it is seriously hot as hell. I’m standing there on the side of this six-lane boulevard, trucks, buses, all kinds of stuff racing by me, and I’m breathing exhaust. But it’s Rio, and I’ve been breathing exhaust all week.

Fifteen minutes go by. No bus. But a taxi pulls up. I think “great, he knows I’m a gringo, he’s gonna rip my ass off.”

“Aeroporto GaledoT he asks.

“Yeah,” I tell him in Portuguese, “but I’m waiting for the bus.”

He makes his hands into a pillow and pretends imm to fall asleep on them. I’m not sure the meaning of this gesture, but it makes me lean my head in the window to hear what he has to say.

“Vinteßeaisr aaron kirschenfeid Vinte Reais?

To so far, so good Galedo? Think, Aaron...

That’s like $7 Great deal... Get in the cab... So I do He explains that the bus isn’t going to come for another 45 minutes. I’d just missed the last one. He lives near the airport, so he’ll drive me there, drop me off and then go home to bed.

So we’re riding out there, past the beautiful beaches, past the fashion, and finally through one huge, far-as-theeye-can-see favela. A favela is a slum, and about a third of Rio lives in one. The road to the airport is called the Red Line, and sometimes it gets closed because the police have gun battles with the favelados, or who live beside it.

Miguel da Silva, that’s the driver’s name, turns up the radio after about five minutes of awkward, broken Portuguese conversing. I look out the window.

And then it comes on, as if out of some deep recess of my brain. In the eighth grade, I had my first girlfriend.

Her name is Jen Grentz.

Jen and I had a song. And as Miguel is rounding a slight curve and as the favela rises around us... Kiss me out of the bearded barley/ Nightly, beside the green, green grass. .. I lose it.

Here are three human beings: Aaron Kirschenfeld, Miguel da Silva and Jen Grentz. And we’re all in this little taxi cab on the other side of the world. Which brings up two points: a) Sixpence None the Richer and their 11-week straight No. 1 hit are an indelible piece of my memory, and b) other people living in other societies actually do exist.

I’m guessing the latter point is the one I’ll get more into. At college, we do a lot of talking about this mythical thing called “other people.” They come in all shapes and sizes. Some are historical people, all dead now, who we get to “empathize” with, channel them really, get into their times and places. Some are remote people, anthropological study and some are the “public” half of that Public Policy Major. For econ you’ve got your consumers and producers and English your authors and characters.

But the hard thing for me, at least, is realizing that these are or once were living, breathing other people just like me. Petrarch saw the Earth in color with vibrant green and blue. He did not exist in a two-dimensional black and white sketching world like the one in which he appears in history text books. Just the same, “Latin Americans” are a diverse group of people, including cab drivers and people who like “Kiss Me.” They like to eat and drink like everybody else, past or present.

So yeah, I think this is important. People are just people, no matter which way you slice it, nothing more and nothing less. And sometimes you end up with them in taxi cabs and in unexpected moments.

And then you write a column about it. €*
