Dr. Mary Frances Berry, civil rights speaker
She was also influenced by her mother, who was not admitted the right to further her educationbecause at the time, high schools for AfricanAmericans were non-existent. These influences encouraged her to work hard to contributeto the continuous fight for civil rights. She becameone of the foundersof the Free SouthAfrica Movementand played a huge role in the movement. She was arrested five times as a resultof her takingpart in demonstrations,which revealedher commitment
to fighting against apartheid. Beny was also a memberof the U.S.CivilRightsCommissionand, while underPresidentReagan,she was fired becauseshe was one the outspoken critics of the administration's civil rights policies. Beny descnbed the day that Reagan fired her as the happiest day of her life. She felt that his firing her was a way to tell her she was doingwhat she was supposed to. Beny did not take her termination laying down and went on to sue in a federalcourt. She won the case and was reinstatedin the U.S. Civil Rights Commission. Obtaining a bachelor's and a master's from Howard University, a doctoratein Historyfrom the Universityof Michigan,and ajuris doctor degree from the University of Michigan Law School, Beny continuedto work to be overqualified for everything.

Lacrosse team battles the elements The Cabrini men's lacrosse team has entered their second season of play, but have yet to set foot on an athletic field. The fields remain blanketed under a thick layer of ice and snow, forcing the team to practice in the gym. Even if the fields were clear, the team would have to share the field with the softball team. According to Randy Mills, head coach of the lacrosse team, there really is nothing that can be done to clear the field, short of a major heat wave. The ice and snow are too thick and plentiful. Practicing in the gym cannot teach field position and other essentials of the game, such as clearing. Only through field play can these skills be taught and learned. Cabrini brought lacrosse to the school ill-prepared for the weather of late winter and early spring. Why did the administration bring in a team that they were not prepared to accommodate? Instead of giving the team spikes and lacrosse sticks, a pair of ice skates and hockey sticks would have made more sense. As the Dixon challenge nears completion, Cabrini should focus its attention upon the needs of both indoor and outdoor sports. The lacrosse team practices for a full schedule of games. Having them canceled, due to field conditions, is a let-down for the players. Although Mother Nature can not be controlled, Cabrini could find a way to better accommodate the team.
I U~s and Downs The men's basketball team won against our rival Eastern this past Friday 110-54. This win helps put the Cavs one step closer to an NCAA tournament bid.
There were only 100 tickets available for the Cabrini-Eastern game, and they had to be purchased in advance. Overcrowding has been a problem at past games.
This past Sunday, no one showed up for movie night in the Xavier great room. In order to have activities on campus, we need to support them.

Digging deep to find roots of life Heather McAllister, editor in chief
Roots, to me, are something brown and dirty that are stuck in the ground, attached somehow to a tree. To other people, roots are precious extensions of their very existences. They represent the individuals who wore down the paths of life's travels. When I think about my ancestors and where they originated, I am amazed at how little I really know about these people, all the Amodeis and the McAllisters and the Williamses. I shudder to realize my greatgreat-grandchildren might not have any idea about who I am or where I came from. This really puts my little life into perspective! What I do know is that I am a mixed bag of nationalities, a melange of Italian, Scottish (NOT Irish!), Polish, Welsch and Pennsylvania Dutch. When I was younger, I thought my ethnicity was just fine, even though I didn't exactly understand it. However, I did have a major problem with my first name. I detested it. For awhile, I traded names with my brother, because he hated when people called him by his full name, Douglas. I eventually tired of that name, though, so I decided to stick with Heather, especially when I discovered I was named after a beautiful purple flower. Who cared about what the nuns said? So what ifl didn't have a patron saint? I could be found in countless Scottish fields, and besides, every postcard of Scotland pictured ME, basically. When I wasn't bragging to the other kids at St. Cecilia's that I was a flower, while they were mere saints, I was trying to convince people I really was Italian. Yes, Heather McAllister may have tanned only once in her life, after enduring borderline sun poisoning, but she truly is a pasty white Italian. I was determined to find other blondehaired, blue-eyed Italians. That was difficult, and I definitely didn't impress other Italians with my mispronunciation of such sacred words as gnocchi and ricotta. I liked to pretend I was a mafia princess, kind of like Susan Lucci, but that didn't work, either. Instead, I settled for explaining that our family was from northern Italy, even though I couldn't elaborate about the exact
location. Besides, I don't look a bit like Susan Lucci. She's too short for me, anyway. My other nationalities are a little blurry to me. My Polish Nan makes the most delectable Italian food, and I don't even think I like the taste of anything Polish. I know my Welsch great-grandfather was a coal miner who died of black lung, and this interested me, especially after I participated in Project Appalachia and visited a deserted coal mine in McDowell County, W.Va. However, the gaps in the knowledge of my heritage are vast and deep. Is this a bad thing? I think so. As I enter my last year of college and attempt to figure out the kind of person I truly I am, I' 11bet it would help to glance backward once in awhile, instead of always gazing forward to the future. Maybe I could step beyond the restraints of flowers and food and instead learn what really made my ancestors tick, what drove them to come to America in the first place. What stories could these people tell me, if they were alive today? What hardships did they endure to assure that one little girl named Heather would wind up at someplace called Cabrini College, carving out her own life amid the turmoil of the '90s? I owe so much to these people. I owe it to myself to not trip over my roots, but instead, to kneel gracefully and examine their intricacies. Who knows? Maybe roots aren't so dirty, after all. They are the givers of life. Without roots, the connected tree would not exist. And neither would the connected person.

Without her consent Second in a series Smotherman, assistant news editor
I am a feminist, and I say when there is a problem, let's be honest about it. And I think there is a problem. I once confided to a friend that I had occasionally had unprotected sex. She said I must be much more passionate than her, that she never got carried away enough to have sex with.out using some form of birth control. I was amazed at her interpretation of my actions. I told her it has nothing to do with passion. She simply has more self-~steem than I do (or did- I'm working on it.) · When we work to make consent, desire and ·self-esteem part of every sex act, we are working not only for better mental health, but also for much better sex, something most of us would like to have a lot more of.

Trisha McGovern, a first-year student, shows her affection by saying, "I love you." She also said she "wants to make him happy through kisses, hugs ... the whole nine yards." McGovern perceives the difference between friends and lovers through levels of intimacy. "People don't go around sleeping with their friends," she said. Walbridge's logic runs along the same lines. "Partners are like friends, but friends are not like partners," he said. "If they do, they have more than one partner." Does love really exist, -and how do you know if it does? "Certainly love exists," Father Ambrose Cashman, . campus chaplain, said. "Love enables us to know ourselves." According to Cashman, the love in relationships comes from realizing God's love fo.r us and in turn sharing love with 'other human beings. "Faith is manifestation of God's love," Cashman said. "Love challenges us to grow," he said, "and it sheds selfishness. The biggest burden is to be selfish. It goes against what love should be." Sex is often confused with love.· Brant Sheldon, a sophomore, said there is more to love. than just sex. Sheldon said he has fallen in love and knew because he was attached romantically, physically and mentally. It took Sheldon six months to fall in love. There is talk about love at first sight, but some Cabrini students believe differently. "Real love takes time," Joy Bozzacco, a first-year student, said. "It takes time to get to know them. It doesn't just happen." · Stef Rigg, a first-year student, disagrees with Bozzacco. She said she believes there is love at first sight, even though she never experienced.it. "Certain people connect with others," she said. McGovern also believes in love at first sight, because it happened to her father's best friend. "He met her and fell in love at 15. They got married and have been together 25 years," McGovern said. The word marriage pops into Mau Cahill's mind when he thinks about)ove. Cahill, a senior, said true love ends up in marriage. "They make a connection and take the next step," Cahill said .. In the world of emotions, love is the most unpredictable. It could take you to the heavens above or make you as blue as the deep sea. The results depend on how far you are willing to travel.

Public Safety Officer Tom McCoy wanted to help college studentst, so, along with senior resident assistant Steve Murray, he chose social worker Joanne Glusman to speak at Cabrini about AIDS. She will be speaking at the Xavier Great Room on Feb. 15, at 9 p.m. Rich Kralle, director of public safety, said, "As part of their training program, we have started a regul~r program to inform and educate people on what's going on.

The history of religion revealed by Christina Feehan assistant arts & entertainment editor
Dining Out by Katina M. Carrao assistant arts & entertainment editor
It was a nippy Friday night when Greg and I pulled into Bertucci's Brick Oven Pizz.eria. Themodemredandbrilliantyellow signwould inviteany outsider.And, by the looksofthecrowdedparkinglot,itdid. There wassomuchiceonthegroundthatwenearly slidrightthroughthefrontdoor.We didn't. Words cannot describe the incredible smell of garlic and other Italianspicesthat reachedour nosesas we entered. We were greeted with a how-do-ya-dosmile, and muchto our surprise,seatedrightaway. Shadesofred,gold,green,purple,tealand maroonsurroundedthe place. There were enormousrnapsofltalypaintedonthewalls. The hardwoodfloors were so shiny that I beganwoonderingiftheyreallyamldreflect up.Theveryappropriateandsoothingltalian musicheardwhile diningcould make anyone fall in love. As we looked over the menu of this glorified pizza parlor, there was much to choosefrom.

Althoughwe were not able to see them fromwherewe weresitting,thereweregiant brickovensthatcookedthepizza. Ifwe had beenseatedon theotherside,we couldhave seen themmake our pizza. We started off with an order of garlic bread($225). lnaninstant,threelargeslices of Italian bread were served,smotheredin fresh garlic and olive oil. At 6 p.m., Greg chosetheBertuccipizza($7.75),whichwas loadedwith pepperoni,tomatoand cheese, and I chosethe Fonnaggio ($7.75),a pizza made without tomato but with ricottaand gratedcheesespreadliberallyontop.

Some people fight for it in the schools, while others fight against it. Some people let it ruin their marriages, while others claim it brings people closer. Some people believe in it, while others disregard it. This is religion, and according to the Dec. 20 issue of Time magazine, it may be defined as the virtue by which we give to God the honor and service due to him, as our creator and supreme being. Dr. Joseph Romano, professor of philosophy, said religion is an art aimed at the absolute. "One cannot define an absolute. Therefore we strive to reach it." Romano said. "Religion involves cognition and feeling," he continued. "We as human beings are not pure minds, nor pure emotions. The two must be brought togeth-
er." Dr. Leonard Primiano, assistant professor of religion, said people may feel religion is considered a reflection of themselves, according to sociological and archaeological poins of views. "But this reflection explains away the effective feeling received, along with the presence of the divine," Primiano said. Religion may have developed as long ago as 100,000 B.C., according to Primiano, when the first existing religious activities could be documented and researched. "The activity by human beings all
those years ago around burial sites was the first evidence of religious activity," Primiano said. At the turn of the century, many had an interest in finding an elementary form of religious life and what it meant. Unfortunately, to this day, individuals have not been successful. "Religion springs from human beings, due to their desire to transcend themselves," Romano said. "People think in terms of a total reality, yet have a failure to experience it. Faith bridges that gap though." The Rev. Ambrose Cashman, campus chaplain, said faith is a gift from God. "Christianity is a way of life for some, but there is always that decision to opt for it or not," Cashman said. There are many religions throughout the world besides Christianity, though, but they are based on the belief in, or lack of, the belief in a supreme being. Cashman said some religions developed because a group of people joined together and decided they were frustrated, because religion was being forced upon them. "For instance, the Islamics found no satisfaction in Christianity or Judaism," Cashman said. "There was a reformation in the 16th century, because the Protestants were frustrated with the strong tie between church and state, and, therefore, they decided to create their own independent church," he said. "Theirs was the search for independence." Life can be described as fu 11 of change, and religion as just another aspect of that change. Primiano said there
is a universal quality, though, regarding God and every human culture has an interest in an ultimate being. "Culture has different ways to express the divine and sacred, and this may explain why there are so many religions in the world," Primiano said. Because of this universal quality, no religion may be regarded as better than another. Faith and religion, although a representation of different things, are ubiquitous, and America has turned into a smorgasbord of religions. "The world is shrinking through travel and communications and has become a cultural convergence," Romano said. "Natural phenomena, such as mountains and oceans, are no longer considered barriers, and religion has been able to spread quickly." There is a common belief that accompanies the term religion, even if the practices of different cultures is varied. Environment and geography play a role in these prac.tices also. It was once thought that religions were associated with certain areas. Today, the world is diverse enough that religion is a commonality. regardless if it is Judaism, Christianity, or Buddhism. When children are growing up, they may feel obliged to complete certain requirements, to be referred to as religious. This is not true, though. The way one reaches God or feels the presence of God does not need to be a requirement for religion. "There are no ru.tes or regulations in religion," Romano said.

Cabrini copes with winter storms In January, Mother Nature created havoc on humanity. Last year she introduced herself to Cabrini with what was called the 'storm of the century. ' However, it became only a small introduction to what she really had in store for us.
College saves spring break by DlaM WrobleBkl assistantgraphics and layout editor
Currently,spring break of '94 is not affected by the juggling of Cabrini's school calendar. The five days that were canceled because of ice and soowsbowers must bemadeup.

In addition, classes will be extended until Wednesday, May 11, and finals will be from Thursday, May 12 through Wednesday, May 18.

Cabrini's one and only athletic trainer, Morgan Boyle, works on paperwork in his office located across from the weight room.
Morgan: more than just a trainer more MORGAN from 12 the injury is more serious than what the trainer is equipped to handle. Boy lo usually refers the athletes to a doctor, but said it would be nice to have a team physician. "Having one person associated with Cabrini would be nice," Boyle said, "The athletes would have a place to go, where the doctor accommodated them, once they knew they were from Cabrini." Boyle grew up in King of Prussia and attended Methactan high school. He then went on to - Temple for his undergraduate degree in sports medicine. Between Cabrini and his post-graduate work, Boyle also finds time to work part time at Bryn Mawr Sports Medicine. First-year student Reggie Moore is one of Boy le' s three assistants. According to Moore, Boyle is a good trainer who knows what he is doing. Moore said, "He cares, but he is not overbearing. I have worked with a lot of trainers in the past, and he ranks right up there. He does not have the equipment that trainers at other schools have, but he still does a good job with what he has." The students continue to flow in and out of the tiny room, as Boyle tapes one ankle, then another. Two students lie on the exam tables, while two of Boyle's assistants put ice on their injuries. As students levae the cafeteria, they all have something to say to Morgan, their favorite trainer. The level of noise in the tiny room rises with the number of occupants. There are serious conversations about the athletes injuries, but there is also laughing and small talk. Boyle is there for the athletes that have come to his room. It is just another day in the life of the athletic trainer.

by Renee Rozniatoski staff writer □ NHL
The show must go on. The Flyers left the ice with another loss under their belts and their once bright faces hanging in disgrace. However, on Sunday, Feb. 6, they managed to pick up their heads and smile for the loyal fans at the Flyers Wives Fight for Lives Carnival. With the return of Eric Lindros, Mark Recchi" and Gary Galley from the AllStar game last month came a six-game losing streak. Falling to Boston, San Jose, Montreal, Quebec and Washington twice, the hopes of a play-off berth became dim, as they plummeted into fifth place. This streak did not stop thousands from packing the Spectrum for the carnival. The players and the coaching staff put aside the defeat, as they spun wheels and signed autographs. Former players from the Stanley Cup years also were on hand. All proceeds benefited cancer research and treatment. Eric Lindros, after sitting through over four hours of photographs, left the Spectrum. He and his teammates knew the carnival was a success. However, on Monday, it was time to work on their hopes of making the playoffs. □ NBA
The Sixers had an exciting weekend. On Saturday, Feb. 5, they tipped-off against the Miami Heat, in what was a see-saw battle until the final buzzer. With 17 seconds left in the game, the Sixers two-point lead shrank as Miami's Steve Smith tied the game, 94-94. The clock ticked down the final seconds, and with one tiock left to go, Dana Barros hit a two point jumper to secure a Sixers' victory, 96-94.
Perhap& with the deal secured on Friday, Feb. 4, the Flyers and the Sixers will spark a few more victories. Sixers owner Harold Katz and Flyers owner Ed Snider finally got together to build a new arena. Spectrum II, which will cost approximately $175 million, is in the works to fill the vacant lot once home to J.F.K. Stadium. Ground breaking is scheduled for sometime in the spring of 1994, and the complex is expected to be open for business in the spring of 1996. The arena will seat approximately 21,000 Flyers fans and 24,000 Sixers fans. Spectrum II is expected to be connected to the original Spectrum by a shopping mall. □ NCAA
College basketball was filled with four big wins for local teams. Temple accumulated its 10th straight win, against St. Bonaventure, with a score of 73-52. Not only has Temple won 10 straight, but they have won by an average of 17.9 points. Villanova took the floor against Boston College in a game decided in overtime, 92-86. Alvin Williams and Jason Lawson, two first-year students, stole the show. Williams had 19 points and Lawson had 17 points, 13 rebounds and seven blocked shots, to lead Nova. Unranked Notre Dame played No. 4 U.C.L.A. in what was one of the biggest upsets of the season. Notre Dame controlled the floor, and U.C.L.A. could only watch as their lead slipped away. The final score was 77-64, Notre Dame. Another upset took place between first-ranked Duke and No. 2 North Carolina. The North Carolina Tarheels defeated the Blue Devils 79-68. □ NFL

Charlton was the closer for the Seattle Mariners last season, until an elbow injury benched him. He has undergone surgery and will be attending camp training in a few weeks. 0 Figure Skating The 1994 Winter Olympics are scheduled to begin in weeks, with the dark shadow of two skaters lurking in the background. Tonya Harding may still accompany Nancy Kerrigan to Lillehammer. Last week, the U.S. Figure Skating Association determined there is enough evidence to bring charges against Harding. This decision was turned over to the Olympic Committee, which is now debating whether or not to remove her from the team. Harding and Kerrigan were not the only skaters affected by tragedy this year. Ice dancer Elizabeth Punsalan is mourning the death of her father. Her brother, who was home on a weekend pass from a mental hospital, has been charged with the fatal stabbing. Punsalan will attend the Olympics in a few weeks, because she feels that is the way her father would have wanted it.

A young child growing up is influenced by many different people~from parents to teachers, friends to coaches. All these people become role models, whether they like it or not (sorry,
Charles.) Some of the most influential people in my life are the men who coached me in my developmental years. These men gave up their time for
many different reasons: to give kids an opportunity to enjoy sports,to keep the kids out of trouble, because they loved the sport, because they loved to coach. I never really appreciated some of the things these men did for me and the other guys on my team. The first organized sport I ever played was soccer. My first coach was Mr. Matthews. The first time the ball ever came to me, I bent down and picked it up. Needless to say, soccer was not my best sport. As one of the younger players on the team, I sat on the bench for much of the year. My team, the Fury,was in first place for much of the year. This did not stop Mr.Matthewsfrom putting some of the lesser players,like me, into the game. In fact. be made a point of it. I scored one goal that year, but it wasthe goal that I did not score that brings me my fondest memoryof Mr. Matthews. In the game against the team in second place, I missed a wide open net in the last minute that would have tied the score. We lost. It would be our only Joss of the year. Why was lin a close game,against a good team? Because Mr. Matthews believedeverybody should play. Winning was important but making sure every kid playedwas the main goal. My team went on to win the cbampionshiip that year, and somep where along the line, winning became extremely important to me. Everyoncein a while, I forget the lesson I should have learned from Mr. Matthews. Mr. Matthews was mycoachatthe ti.me that my father died. He came to the funeral. Not for show, but because he cared about the players on his team. Mr. Matthews died two weeks ago. I found out last weekend, too late to makeit to his funeral, but not too late to pass on the lesson that he taught me. There are times when winning is not the most important thing. Hopefully, someday, I'll be able to pass that message along to a team of players. That would be the greatest thank you I could give Mr. Matthews. Until then, this will have to do: Thanks, coach.

Cabrini dominatesEastern an·dAlvernia by Brian Siatkowski assistant sports editor
Only 100 seats were available to Cabrini students last Friday night, when the Cavs trashed a hosting Eastern squad, 110-53. Due to past overcrowding of their gym, resulting in fire hazards, Eastern officials decided to limit the amount of seating available. For those who were there, it was a Cabrini bomb squad. At the end of the first half of pray, the Cavs led 60-33. Cabrini shot 75 percent, from three-point land, in the first half. Not even sophomore Antoine Harden, Eastern 's star player, could hang on. Antoine Harden, meet Dan Baracliff. Senior Dan Baracliff, who hit 38 points in the game against Eastern, set a new Cabrini record. Baracliffe sank 6 of 11 from the three-point zip code and pulled down 5 rebounds. "I'm shooting the ball real well right now," Baracliff said. By the way, Baracliff only played 24 minutes. But it was not just the Dan Baracliff show. Sophomore Nate Bowles kicked in 14 points in 18 minutes. Reggie Marani, a sophomore, and first-year student John Drummond, each grabbed a half-dozen rebounds, and the team, as a whole, shot 65 percent from the floor. On Feb. 7, the men's basketball team traveled to Alvernia, in hopes of beating the team, for the second time this season. The Cavs obviously have picked up some momentum. In the first meeting, the Cavaliers skirted Alvernia, 77-74. This time, it was a blow-out. Junior Brad Dever led the 93-78 victory for the Cavs, by scoring a personal high of 31 points. The game included Dever breaking down Alvernia 's point guard, senior Dave Kerchner scoring Cabrini's first six points of the game, senior Dave Wissler hitting a
long-range three and Baracliff netting 14 points. Nate Bowles scored nine in the first six minutes, until he was sidelined with a sprained ankle. Dzik uses a system that utilizes 10 to 12 players per game. He feels that he has the pl&yers to fill all of the positions, and anyone can step up at any given time. Sophomore Billy Carr feels the team has been playing "exceptionally well. The scoring has been broken up and divided among the team. We have a different leading scorer every game." The Cavaliers now hold an overall record of 15-3, with four games left to play before the PAC championships, on the Feb. 25 and 26. The last home game for the Cavs is Thursday, Feb. 10, against Beaver College, at 8 p.m. Coach Dzik said the Beaver team is playing well lately, and the Cavs cannot lose a game, in hopes of an NCAA playoff bid. "Though it is admirable to win the PAC, wewantanNCAAbid. Nothing less," Dzik said. In the first meeting this season, the Cavs beat Beaver by six points. Most of the team's attention is focused on hopes of acquiring an NCAA bid. There is no secret way to get it. It is plain and simple; Cabrini can not Jose another game. Even then, there is no guarantee. Sophomore Greg Grant said, "The team is coming together now. We are pushing each other and cannot slip now. The raters are against us, but we did beat the no. 1 team in the country (Christopher Newport, Va.)." The key to winning, according to senior Dave Kershner, is "to ice Baracliffe's arm every day, and let him shoot about 35 times a game."
To Dzik, the key seems to be confidence. He's starting to look a bit like Jimmy Johnson, isn't he?
Sophomore Reggie Marani dribbles downcourt against Eastern. The Cavs blew Eastern out of the gym last Friday, 110-53. Senior Dan Barracliff set a Cabrini school record with 38 points in the game, in only 24 minutes of playing time.
Trainer hailedas healer of bodyand soul by Margaret Maio assistant managing and perspectives editor
Athletic trainer Morgan Boyle works on senior soccer player Jason Paolini's kne.e.
There is a tiny room near the cafeteria that buzzes with activity. Students make their way in and out, seeking the advice and knowledge of one man. They come here often with an ailment, but they also come just to talk. This is the athletic trainer's room, and the man who stands at the helm is Morgan Boyle. Boyle is the athletic trainer for all intercollegiate teams at Cabrini, and he is responsible for the care and prevention of athletic injuries. But besides taking care of the athletes' bodies, he also has become their friend. As students filter in and out of the tiny room, he addresses many of them by name. He laughs easily with them, and the conversation is endless. Boyle began his work at Cabrini back in Aug. 1992, through the graduate program at Temple University and Bryn Mawr Sports Medicine. He is currently working toward his M. Ed. in sports medicine at Temple and will graduate this May. Boyle said he has always been interested in medicine, but it was an athletic trainer in high school that sparked his interest in sports medicine. Looking toward the future, Boyle said he would like to work with a division I team, as the head athletic trainer. He has even begun the search for a job by applying to the United States Military Academy at West Point.
For now, though, his attention is focused upon Cabrini and finishing his thesis. The training room · is a tiny room which holds two long examination tables, a washer and dryer, a desk, storage cabinets and supplies. Add to that Boyle and any of his three assistants, and you have a crowded space, at best. "It would be nice to have a bigger room," Boyle said. "the facility is too small." There also is a need for a full-time trainer, according to Boyle. He is here every day, but his hours are limited to the evenings. "I could do more conditioning and rehabilitation, if I were here more," Boyle said. These two areas of his work are important in keeping a team injury free and getting injured players back into play. The types of injuries Boyle works with vary, although he said ankle and knee injuries were the most common. He tapes unstable joints and rehabilitating ankles for athletes before practice or games. Boyle attends all home games, in case something occurs during the game that would require the attention of a trainer. There are times, though, when the injury is more serious than what the see more MORGAN pg. 10
