Kick snaps llll
losing streak . ...

By Chris Easierllng
Sports Editor

UK’s two-game losing streak
came to an end Saturday night,
thanks to the leg of Brian john-
son.

johnson, a sophomore, booted
a 26—yard field goal with only 14
seconds remaining to give the
Cats a 3-0 win over Indiana in
front of 40,500 rain-drenched fans
at Commonwealth Stadium.

“Being a kicker, you get used to
the fact that you’ll either be a hero
or the goat,"_Iohnson said.

“Going in for the kick, I was
totally focused. I knew how
important it was. I just had to do
my part.”

UK Coach Bill Curry said that
he didn’t try to put any pressure
on Johnson before he went out to
kick the game—winner.

“We were telling jokes,” Curry
said. “Brian came over and I said
‘You know any good jokes.’ I real-
ly thought he was going to pass-
out. He just said, ‘Coach, this is
good as gold.”’

It was the second consecutive
year that UK (1—2) prevented a 0-
3 start with a win over the
Hoosiers (2-1). Last year, the Cats
reclaimed the “Bourbon Barrel”
with a 17—10 win in Bloomington.

The Cats should enjoy the win
as long as possible, considering
they will travel to Gainesville to
face the top—ranked team in the
country in Florida. The Gators
beat Tennessee 35—29 last week in
Knoxville.

Smith helped put the Cats in

Minor league baseball plans supported by UK

By James Ritchie
Senior Staff Writer

UK sports officials support attempts to bring
minor league baseball to Lexington despite possible
disadvantages for the University’s baseball program.

Lexington is competing against eight

'scorelcss drought with the field

position for the game—winner
when he intercepted a Chris Dit- .
toe pass at the UK 45-yard line, .
and returned it 15 yards to the IU
40 with 2:08 remaining in the
game.

“When I was drop ing back,”
Smith said, “I saw t e quarter-
back, read his shoulders, felt the
receiver coming in and caught it.”

The interception must have
inspired the UK coaching staff to
take a gamble in their play calling.

After Michael Daies gained one
yard off ri ht tackle, quarterback
Tim Coucfi and Daies appeared to
run the option left on the next
play.

But that was where Indiana,
and most everyone else in Com—
monwealth were wrong. Instead
of pitching it to the running back,
the ball went to wide receiver
Quentin McCord running to the
right on the reverse.

McCord took the pitch and
scampered all the way to the
Hoosiers’ eight-yard line before
strong safety Aaron \IVarnecke
tripped him up. Two plays and
two time—outs ater, Johnson was
on to end the 59 minute 46 second

oal.

“Coach (Elliot) Uzelac made a
phenomenal call on the McCord
play,” said Curry, who is 3-4 now
against Indiana as a head coach.
“We knew it was there. We ran
outside a lot and saw they were
charging to the back side.”

Indiana coach Bill Mallory was
disappointed with the way the

Media coverage would favor the minor league
team over UK’s program, es ecially when both
teams were playing in May, Ma ison said. This could
result in less awareness of the University program.

A group of investors, led by real estate developer
Dudley Webb and including UK football coach Bill
Curry and UK basketball coach Rick Pitino, has
come up with the $4.5 million franchise fee.

The ci council is expected to announce this
week whet er it will commit any public funds to the
construction of a stadium. Mayor Pam Miller has
told Webb that she would try to get public financing
from the city council if his group of 100 investors
provide a third of the funding.

Both Newton and Madison said they oppose the
use ofcity funding to finance a stadium.

Associate Athletics Director Kathy DeBoer, a
member of the mayor’s baseball fact—finding com-
mittee, said most stadiums are built with both private
and public funds.

She said that with a stadium in Lexington, UK
might be able to host an NCAA regional tourna-
ment, something it currently cannot do because it
does not have a stadium.

DeBoer said that an AA team might very well
divert money away from UK sports.

“There is a finite entertainment dollar,” she said.

But she said the effect would be no different from
a new movie theater or a concert coming to town,
and since Lexington is a growing city, it will be able
to support more entertainment options.

DeBoer said that if Lexington wants a profession-
al team, then there is no reason to oppose the idea.

“If this community wants a baseball team and
wants to support a baseball team, then I would be
supportive," she said.

arena burns at Auburn

AUBURN, Ala. — Auburn’s old wooden bas-
ketball arena, fondly known as “The Barn," went
out with a bang, shooting flames hi rh into the air
and providing a dramatic backdrop for the nation—

Auburn Fire Chief Ronny Blankenship said
yesterday that investigators believe a barbecue

The fire began to appear over the northeast
corner ofjordan-Hare Stadium early in the first
quarter of LSU’s l9-15 win over Auburn on Sat~

Nirvana to release new live album

NEW YORK —— More than two years after the
death of lead singer Kurt Cobain, Nirvana is
releasing a new 16—song live album.

“From the Banks of the Muddy VVishkah,"
painstakingly assembled from recordings of old
concerts, is scheduled to be released Oct. 1.

It will be Nirvana‘s second release since
Cobain’s death. The first was “MTV Unplugged
in New York," which featuredacoustic versions of
the band’s usually ear-shattering grunge hits.

College deans give
GPA certiiicates

By Wallis Malone
Contributing Writer

Students are honored for their academic
achievements to provide incentive for future dedi-
cation and an example for others to follow.

Hard—working black students were recognized
Friday night. The Office ofMinority Affairs along
with the Black Student Union sponsored the first
annual Academic Achievement Awards Banquet.

The banquet was originally held as a reception
for black freshman who had maintained a high
grade point average in their first year. This year it
expanded to a banquet open to all black students.

The banquet honored 95 students for earning
3.0 GPAs or better. Students were given certifi-
cates from the deans of the 12 colleges represent-
ed, including engineering, architecture, and phar—
macy.

Damon Porter, a marketing and management
junior, was one of the students honored.

“I think the banquet was a success,” Porter said.
“It properly recognizes and honors those students
that are so often overlooked on a campus of this
magnitude.”

Crystal Harris, finance senior, liked the ban-
quet

“It’s given me inspiration to continue to main-
tain the academic level I have now and achieve
even higher,” Harris said.

William Parker, former vice chancellor of the
office of minority affairs was the keynote speaker.

Parker encouraged students give back to their
communities and to attend graduate school.

Eric Brown, an academic counselor at the
learning services center, said the biggest problem
facing black students is discouragement.

“These students are positive influences and
they need to keep reaching out to other students
so that they know that a 3.0 or better is attainable
at the University,” Brown said.

. Notables
VAttsndance: A crowd of 40,500
braved the elements to witness the
battle for the Bourbon Banal. It
was the smallest crowd for the
second home game of a season in
Commonwealth Stadium history.
VOtfensive Play at the game:
A reverse to freshman Quentin
McCord on second down with less
than two minutes in the game
gave the Cats one of their largest
gains of the evening with 31 yards.
But more importantly. that single
play put UK in position for the
game winning field goal. The run
put the Cats on lU’s 8-yard line
and eventually led to Brian
Johnson’s 26-yard field goal.
VOttensive Player oi the Game:
Johnson. He was the only man
able to put points on the board
with his game-winning field goal
with 14 seconds left in the game.
VDetenalve Play at the Game:
Lamont Smith’s fourth quarter
interception of Chris Dittoe’s pass
with 2:08 left in the game ended
any hopes lU had of scoring and
gave the Cats excellent field
position to start their eventual
game-winning drive.

VDetensiva Player of the Game:
Needless to say. it was Smith.
Along with his interception, Smith _
made six unassisted tackles and
one was for a loss of four yards
late in the fourth quarter. The

Defense stops it up in victory over Hoosiers

By 0. Jason Singleton

Staff writer

Against Indiana on Saturday,
the UK defense continued to step
up its play des ite a lethar ic

ame by the Wil cat offense. T '5
act was evident by the final score
of Saturday’s game, a 3-0 UK vic-
tory.
The shutout represented the
first by a UK team since the Cats
blanked Ole Miss 21-0 on Oct.
2,1993.

“We came out with the
most emotion that we’ve had
all car,” said UK middle
line acker Mike Schellen—
ber er.

We had a lot of people
flooding to the ball, and cov-
ering each other, and we
played pretty much mistake
free.”

That was not the case
with the Hoosiers on the
other hand.

“I felt that we really came
out kinda lethargic in the
first quarter and first half
even,” said IU senior

  

Schellanherger

 

and that was the game,” Surface
said.

On the other side of the field,
UK’s defense held the Hoosiers to
262 total yards despite a monster
day from running back Alex
Smith. Smith finished the day
with 160 of IU’s 262 total yards.
He rushed for 155 yards on 33
carries and caught one pass for
five yards.

UK Coach Bill Curry was very
pleased with the play of his defen-
sive unit, particularly the
pass rush.

“We’ve been pressur-
ing them, but not getting
there,” said Curry. “Our
pass rush was a little bet-
ter than it has been.”

One of the best quali-

ties of the defense’s play
was the fact that they
overcame injuries.

Shawn Smith started
for an injured Dele Ali at
outside linebacker, but
Smith suffered a sprained
ankle early in the game
and did not return.

thought also thought Indiana was
not up for the game.

“They came out real flat, and I
think they kinda took us for grant-
ed,” Smith said. “Because they
didn’t come out hard at all.”

Indiana’s defense did a good
job overall, holding the Cats to
just 226 total yards. The Hoosiers
simply failed to come up when
they needed to.

performed at levels above all
expectations finishing third on the
team in tackles with nine. He also
broke up two passes.

Indiana coach Bill Mallory was
shocked that the Cats’ defense
held his Hoosiers to no points.

“Their defense played us hard,”
Mallory said.

“We had some breakdowns and
just came away with a big fat zero,
and you can’t win games doing
that.”

“We didn’t cover it well at all,” Mallory said. “I

player didn’t ecause he was already down the line
of scrimmage. It was a good call on UK’s part.”

IU linebacker Matt Surface was impressed with
the play, despite the negative effect it had on his

._ W team.

“It was a nice play,” Surface said.
“We had seen it a couple of times on
film, but obviously they hadn’t run it
tonight. It was just a great play call
by Coach Bill Curry.”

Indiana kicker Bill Manolopoulos
contributed to the Hoosiers’ prob-
lems missing a pair of field goals,
one from 43 yards and one from 29
yards out.

The Wildcats had an opportunity
to put some points on the board at
the end of the first half, but failed to
convert the chance.

The Sun Devils, routed by the

Huskers their first defeat since los-

It was Nebraska’s first shutout since a
22-0 loss to Miami in the 1992 Orange
Bowl, and its first regular-season loss since

dropping a 19-10 decision to Iowa
State on Nov. 14, 1992.

It also was just the second regu-
lar-season shutout during coach
Tom Osborne’s 24-year tenure at
Nebraska. Oklahoma beat the
Huskers 27—0 in 1973, Osborne’s
first year as head coach in Lincoln.

The Wildcats were never able to get another play
off, and left the field under a cascade of boos from

the crowd.

“It was a joint mistake,” Curry said of the first-

half blunder.

“lfI was a player, I might have grabbed a coach
by the throat and taken my helmet and rammed him
against the wall a few times. But they weren’t mad at
