Teresa Fix, right, guides her son, Will, both of Carbondale, in placing decorations Monday at the Varsity Center for the Arts.

Fix has volunteered to decorate the lobby and its Christmas tree for the past five years. In light of the small budget she has to work with, Fix said she manages to bring a different theme to the decor every year, and some groups come to use the tree as a backdrop for pictures.

TIFFANY BLANCHETTE | DAILY EGYPTIAN

Frederique Desrosiers, a sophomore at Carbondale Community High School, celebrates Monday after picking up a spare during a meet against Mascoutah Community High School at the Student Center bowling alley. Desrosiers and her teammates said they enjoy bowling because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s both social and competitive.

The menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball team tips off its first home regular season game tonight against Fresno State at the SIU Arena.

The Salukis are 3-1 as they head into the contest, and they are ranked 19th nationwide in shooting percentage. The team has already eclipsed the century mark for points once this season, and it has seen production from both its starters and bench.

Although the season is only four games in, senior guard Jeff Early has had a remarkable one so far.

The Salukisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; leading scorer averages almost 19 points per game, which is more than 10 points higher than last season. Early said he was hesitant about playing the hybrid position â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a combination of a guard and forward â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but he excels in the role now. Early has the most steals on the team, holds the highest field goal percentage of the Saluki guards and has the highest reboundper-game average with 8.8. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Coming into the season, my main priority was to do whatever it takes to get (our) team more wins,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been helping out on the rebounding end until Dantiel (Daniels) is 100 percent, and my role may change when he

is out there and fully healthy.â&#x20AC;?

Wyoming transfer, Desmar Jackson, was pegged as the Saluki offenseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s focal point during the offseason, but that has not been the case yet. Although he is the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second leading scorer, Jackson averages 10.8 points per game on just 37 percent shooting from the field. Despite his offensive struggles, the junior guard is providing a boost in the rebound department with 6.8 per game this season. Jackson said he is not playing as well as he was at Wyoming, after he sat out for a year, but he is up for the challenge. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I still have some things I need to work on,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a 6-foot-6 guard, and I still have an advantage against the 6-foot-1 or 6-foot-2 guards I usually play.â&#x20AC;?

Sophomore forward, Dantiel Daniels, has provided a muchneeded post presence since he returned from a groin injury two weeks ago. Daniels has added almost 10 points a game and holds a 70-percent field goal percentage for a Saluki team that lacks interior scoring. Although he is averaging only two rebounds a game, the sophomore said his production will improve once he gets used to being out on the court. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have been struggling lately with rebounds,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think some of it comes from playing time

and foul trouble. I think once I get back in my zone, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be OK.â&#x20AC;?

In the loss against St. Louis University Saturday, coach Barry Hinson said his team missed about 15 layups. He said the guards have to feed the ball inside to post more and get the offense going. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kendall has done everything we asked of him offensively,â&#x20AC;? Hinson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I need him to be more like Payton Manning.â&#x20AC;?

After a night of poor perimeter defense in St. Louis, Hinson said junior guards Allen Huddleston, Kevin Olekaibe and senior forward Kevin Foster will all be priorities because of their scoring abilities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Those guys have beyond NBA range,â&#x20AC;? Hinson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They can pull up from 30-35 feet and shoot with ease.â&#x20AC;?

However, the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ball skills arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the only thing it needs for a success tonight. Hinson said the team will need the crowdâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s support to win the game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a team that beat Cal Poly (and) defeated a ranked UCLA team,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need the arena to be packed and loud to give us an extra boost.â&#x20AC;?

5HFHLYHU GLVFXVVHV IRRWEDOO WHDP¡V RIIHQVH IXWXUH %(1 &215$'< 'DLO\ (J\SWLDQ DAILY EGYPTIAN: How do you feel about the quarterback position going forward?

John Lantz: I think each year

Kory (Faulkner) has gotten better, and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gained more confidence in us. I know MyCole (Pruitt) has been the main target in our offense, but I think he has expanded in that role. Kory has incorporated more players into our offense like me,

(LaSteven McKinney) and some of the other guys.

DE: The team will be without senior running backs Steve Strother and Mulku Kalokoh next year.

Sophomore Mikaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;il McCall will still be on the team, but how do you

replace the 685 yards Strother and Kalokoh rushed for?

JL: Talking with the coaching staff, we feel confident in Mikaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;il as our power back, but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve obviously got to recruit and try to get some guys to come in and take up the

role that Steve and Mulku had for us. They were great players, and we definitely need a quick guy out there as well.
