Zurcher has
been down
many Rhodes

By Jill Erwin

Senior Sin/f ll 'I'm'r

 

 

 

 

\Vhile most of his teammates
were sleeping or listening to
music, jeff Zurcher was filling out

a Rhodes Schol—

 

 

arship applica—

tion.
Zurcher, a
f inetnber of the
, L'K football
l team, used the
‘1 flight to Missis-
l sippi State to
l Zurcher begin a quest to

l become LYK's first
I Rhodes Scholar since the incep—
tion of the Rhodes Scholarship
Committee 23 years ago.

“l’ve wanted to go abroad to
study or work, and this would be
the best opportunity, I think,”
Zurcher said. "I got lucky, I guess
you could say."

Luck certainly isn’t all there is
to it. Zurcher has a 4.0 grade-
point average with a double major
in English and advertisin . He
was named the Scholar-Ath etc of
the \Veek during the UK—Florida
game on (BS, and has not
received a B in a class since before
high school.

He credits his grandfather, who
passed away last year, with being
one of his inspirations. Last
spring, in Zurcher's last conversa—
tion with him, the elder Zurcher
challenged the younger to outdo
his uncle, who made only one B.

“He’s always been an inspira-
tion, especially now that he's
gone," Zurcher said. “He was a
really good friend of mine."

Zurcher not only gives a large
chunk of time to his studies and
his athletic pursuits, but he is also
a member of the Fellowship of
Christian Athletes. the English
Honor Society, and the Ad Club.

“I think I have a ood balance
of not only sports, fiut also aca-
demics," Zurcher said. “I'm basi-
cally just a role player on the foot—
ball team, but it’s still a lot of time
and effort, trying to work in
scholastic endeavors."

He is able to divide his time
between studying and football
because of his involvement in
sports, he claims.

Zurcher said athletes have to
concentrate so much on one area.
that that dedication spills over
into other areas of life, such as
studyin .

Zurcher started his college career
at Bethel College in Indiana and was
a part of the team that won the
national chain iionship in I995. It
was at Bethel t at he ori 'nally got
the idea to strive for the odes.

Students will sweat to fight
Alzheimer's this weekend at
Memory Walk 1997.

Registration starts at l p.m.
Sunday at Commonwealth Stadi-
um, where food and pri7es will be
provided.

Students are encouraged to
find 5 onsors to raise funds for
the A zheimer’s Association and
Alzheimer‘s research.

The Memory VValk’s objective
is not only to raise funds, but also
to raise awareness among stu-
dents as well.

“More and more people are

 

diagnosed with Alzheimer's and it
not only affects the elderly, but
peo le in their 40s and 505 as
wolf?" John Dailey, information
coordinator for the Alzheimer‘s
Association—Bluegrass/Lexing-
ton Chapter, said.

“There is no cure or preven-
tion and the cause is unknown,"
he said.

The Alzheimer’s Association's
goal is to “first slow the process
(of the disease), and eventually
stop and then prevent the process
from happening altogether.”
according to its homepa e.

The number of peop e affected
by Alzheimer’s is growin , Dailey
said. The disease not on y affects

those dia nosed with the disease.
but also t ose who know someone
diagnosed with the disease. he said.

More than fotir million Ameri—
cans are diagnosed with the dis-
ease and it is the fourth leading
cause of death in adults behind
heart disease, cancer and strokes,
according to the homepage.

it is the most common form of
dementia.

The Memory Walk allows stu—
dents to interact with people diag-
nosed with Alzheimer‘s and their
families. Supporting the walk helps
local chapters provide support for
those in need of Alzheimer’s coun—
seling. Dailey said.

Barbara Helm, information

coordinator for L'K's Alvhcimer's
Disease Research (lcntcr, said stu—
dents should participate in the

walk because of the effects of

Alzheimer's on future generations.
“A big impact is on the chil»
dren," said llclin, who has worked
with Alzheimer's disease for 20
years. “Some people feel that you
only get this when you get old.
but younger people in their 40s
and 50s are diagnosed with it."

This devastates families because
younger people are having to take
care oftheir parents, she said.

“It’s a family issue," Helm said.
“The disease may last five to 20
years."

Forty percent of cases suggest

 

the disease passed from parent to
child. she added.

Robin llamon Kern. arts coor—
dinator for the Bluegrass/Letting
ton (Ihaptcr, said the walk will be
advantageous to everyone.

“The rewards are endless," she
said. “There is always something
new and it's never boring.

“(Al/heimer patients) have so
iiittch to offer."

8 av ‘Mel'cv'i mi and Detroit tangle

Cots attempt
to continue
winning streak

By Rob Herbs!
Sporty [Ci/Itor

If one wants a quick synopsis of the
LR women's soccer team in I996. turn
the calendar to Sept. 30.

The \Vildcats took on Detroit Mercy
.intl outplayed the Titans but couldn‘t
find the hack ofthe net. The (his blew
a one goal lead and left the .\lotor City
with .i not—so-pleasing 1—1 tie.

“That was basically a nightmare
game for us." said forward Kim l..ilielle.
“\Ve controlled the entire game and we
couldn’t finish our opportunities. \\'e
just let them back in the game."

\s for head eoath \Varren l.ipka‘.s
iiiood after that game? Let‘s just say he

has a selective memory.

“I can't seem to remember that,”
Lipka chuckled.

“Ask .my of our players if I‘m ever
happy it hen we don't win."

'I'omorrow at 7 p.m., the Cats (4—5-
l) will have an opportunity to tuck the
Detroit nightmare to bed when they
take on the Titans (5—5) at the UK Soc-
cer Complex. L'K will also take on
\\'ashington State on Sunday at 1 pm.

Scoring goals hasn't been a problem
for the Cats lately. L'K netted seven
goals in its wins over Tennessee and
Georgia this weekend.

“,\fter we scored four goals against
Georgia (on Sunday), that was a real
confidence booster, especially for the
forwards." l.aBelle said. “Our midfield-
ers also really played great this week—
end."

Freshman midfielder Annie Gage
scored two goals and recorded an assist
on Sunday and sophomore midfielder
Brooke llergesell has netted goals in
three consecutive games, albeit two of

i The Wildcats believe they have
momentum coming into the weekend.
After struggling for the first 20 minutes
against Tennessee last Friday night, UK
fought back from a two goal deficit to
win 3-2.

The Cats played solid soccer the
entire 90 minutes in the 4-1 win over
Georgia.

“We have definitely taken strides for-
ward,” Lipka said. “From the middle of
the Tennessee match through that
Geor ia game, we’ve played well. But
now t e question that’s gotta be asked is
‘can this team go out and do it again?’
That’s what makes a quality team —
stepping back on the field and picking
up where they left off."

It’s the first time this season the
\Vildcats have put together any sem—
blance of a winning streak.

Although it may be a very modest
two-game winning streak, it’s some—
thing.

“After the first 20 minutes of the
Tennessee game I think we realized that

LaBelle said.

“\Ne’ve won two in a row and that’s
all I've been saying now.

“We’ve got a two game winning
streak and I think everybody’s excited
about that. Hopefully we can win these
two this weekend and be on top of the
win column.”

”I" "II":

The Cats’ injurv situation has dra-
matically improved from this weekend.
Freshman midfielder/defender Jamie
Delbringge injured her wrist on Sunday
and was unable to contribute.

Lipka said “she is fine," and will play
this weekend.

Freshman Margo Hafer injured her
nose on Sunday but practiced without a
face shield and should be ready this
weekend.

Senior midfielder and co-captain Ali-
son Rooney has been bothered by a
pinched nerve in her neck and did not
play against Tennessee or Geor ia. She
won't start on Friday but shou d come

her goals were on penalty kicks.

By Jay G. Tate
Sporty Editor

For many on the UK volleyball
team, Columbia, SC, conjures up
bad thoughts. After all, that's where
the Cats lost to a lowly-regarded
Alabama squad in last year's South-
eastern Conference tournament,
i-Z.

A 1996 Tide team with a 4-28
record. A 1996 Tide team without
an All-SEC performer.

A 1996 Tide team which
advanced to the tournament‘s sec-
ond round.

The Cats (10—5) travel to Alaba-
ma this weekend to exact some
retribution on an improving Alaba-
ma squad which is sporting a much-
improved 7~l() record this season.
Since UK and the Tide reside in
different divisions within the SEC,
Friday night's match represents the
only regular-season meeting

As such, it may be the Cats” only
opportunity to remind the Tide
that all is not forgotten.

And all is most certainly not for-
given.

“\\'e brought up the Alabama
match for the first time (Monday),"
L'K outside hitter Katie Eiserman
said. “\Ve were hoping to shake
some people up (in the SEC tour—
ney) because we had such a good
SEC run last year. To get on the
bus home the first day instead of
staying there all weekend (and
advancing in the tournament) was
so disappointing.

“Friday ni ht will definitely be a
revenge match.“

But the Alabama team Big Blue
will face tomorrow represents a
dramatic deviation from last year’s
installment. Aside from the
improved record, the Tide has
added several players and a new

“5 read the wealth” philosophy on
offense.

Last season. Sarah Allmon and
Monica Davis dominated the Alaba-
ma offense. However, Allmon trans-
ferred to a junior college and Davis is
now accepting a more limited role,
allowing all six starters to carry a
more equitable load —- a change
Tide coach Judy Green says makes
her team much more powerful.

“This team is totally different
than last year in terms of both
attitude and ability,” Green said.
“We have a lot more enthusiasm
and we expect to win. “’e also
spread out the offense, which has
really improved our attacking."

UK will counter the revamped

ference in team blocking. Though

“If we are going to be successful,

“Good digging keeps the offense

On Sunday, the Cats will get a

jaunelle Hamilton and Brooke
McCarley were both redshirted for
the 1996 season. In their first full
season on the floor, the tandem is
hitting a combined .345 on the sea-
son. making them the most efficient
middle tandem in the league.

“‘(Auburn) will give them the ball
all the time,” Flory said of Hamil-
ton and McCauley. “They are

it‘s tmfortunate that llal Mumme's debut

Although the (Irimson ’l‘idc won the
