Filipino Students Hope to Aid Philippines After Massive Storm

Dance it out

Typhoon leaves 10,000 dead,destroys thousands of homes

By EMMA IANNI Sun Contributor

One of the most powerful storms ever recorded — Typhoon Haiyan — hit the Philippines Friday with gusts of up to 235 miles per hour, leaving up to 10,000 dead and destroying thousands of homes.

Expressing concern about the storm’s damage, students in the Filipino community at Cornell say they will be directing fundraising efforts toward storm relief.

The typhoon’s aftermath was “apocalyptic,”

CNN said, reporting that in the coastal city of Tacloban — one of the worst-hit in the country — no building appeared to have escaped damage.

Vernice Arahan ’14, vice president of external affairs for the Cornell Filipino Association, said that, at first, she was very worried about her family because she did not know where the typhoon was hitting. She said she immediately contacted her father in the Philippines to make sure that her family was alright.

C.U.Center Receives $5-Million Donation

By JESSE WEISSMAN Sun Staff Writer

The James McCormick Family Teaching Excellence Institute received a $5 million donation that will help it continue to improve engineering professors’ teaching, the University announced last Monday.

The donation was given by the McCormick family, the institution’s namesake, according to a University press

release.

The purpose of TEI is to collaborate with engineering faculty to help make their courses and the quality of their teaching better, according to Kathryn Dimiduk ’79, the director of TEI. The services that TEI offers include individual sessions with teachers seeking help and an annual two-day workshop for new faculty, according to See DONATION page 4

When it opens Monday, Oishii Bowl, a new restaurant on the corner of College Avenue and Dryden Road, hopes to bring a unique style of Japanese cuisine to Collegetown.

Zaw Winn, the restaurant’s owner, said he thinks rice bowls

will be popular among Cornell students.

Occupying Collegetown Pizza’s former location, the eatery will serve various Japanese-style bowls containing a mixture of rice, meat and vegetables.

“What we sell is very different from what Asian restaurants around here sell,” he said.

According to Winn, Oishii

Bowl will be set apart from other Collegetown restaurants because of its relaxed, informal atmosphere and quick, inexpensive cuisine.

“It’s for people who don’t want to sit down to eat by themselves and spend more money.

Student Arrested After Three North Campus Robberies,Police Say

By CAROLINE FLAX Sun News Editor

Ithaca and Cornell Police have tied a Cornell student to three break-ins that occurred on North Campus early Saturday.

At around 3 a.m.

Saturday, police received a call reporting a robbery-in-

progress on the 300 block of Thurston Avenue, according to a press release from the Ithaca Police Department. The caller said that a man was trying to climb through a window to enter an apartment, but that he ran when the caller saw him, police say.

IPD and CUPD then

responded to a call at the 300 block of Wyckoff Avenue, where someone reported seeing a man enter the house, according to the press release. When officers arrived at the location, they spotted the subject, who ran when he saw them.

After a chase on foot, the officers caught the subject

on the 400 block of Wyckoff Avenue.

Within minutes of the two calls, police received an additional call from a woman on the 400 block of Thurston Avenue reporting having woken up to find a man next to her bed who “reached under the covers and touched her foot,” the

press release said. When the man was confronted, he fled the scene.

Police have tied the three incidents to Byung Jun Lee, 21, who has been charged with three counts of burglary, one count of criminal mischief and one count of obstructing, according to the press

release. Lee is listed as a student in the College of Arts and Sciences in Cornell’s online directory.

He is set to appear in Ithaca City Court again Tuesday.

Social Entrepreneurs Help Communities Through Startups

By SCOTT GARTENBERG Sun Contributor

As many Cornell students try to transform their passions into startup companies, a few entrepreneurs are focusing their work on social causes.

Roshni Mehta ’15 is one such student.

Mehta’s project, Nine Yards, focuses on providing employment to women from India, Pakistan and Bangladesh who have been disfigured and socially alienated by acid attacks.

“I always knew I wanted to do something about [acid attacks],” she said.

In acid attacks, victims’ faces are purposely disfigured after women

decline a men offering a date or marriage proposal. When Mehta grew up in Bangladesh, her nanny was a victim of these acid attacks, she said.

“Many times, the woman is blamed for provoking the man, and so she is alienated. She doesn’t get married and doesn’t even get employed. She is lucky enough to survive and basically living to breathe,” Mehta said.

“It’s a crime against women, specifically in the lower socioeconomic strata.”

Mehta’s organization’s objective is to employ the survivors of acid attacks by enabling them to produce home décor products through recy-

cling saris, a garment worn by Indian women.

“A prime reason behind using saris was because it kept my costs really low because my prime raw material was donated to me,” she said.

“I reached out to all these aunties and family friends I knew. I live in the Middle East so that’s where I got all my collections from.”

Mehta has already employed four women from India, and their first round of production yielded a profit margin of over 70 percent.

Despite her success, Mehta said she has faced challenges, too — such as raising enough capital to support her business and making sure women can work with disabili-

ties like blindness that were caused by their acid attacks.

Ultimately, Mehta said, she hopes to give disabled women something that they never had: a sense of purpose through employment.

“I don’t think they really need just money.

What they really need is a sense of living a perfect life, [and] employment empowers them,” she said. “Even if I could impact the lives of only four women and completely change them forever, that would be great.”

Another student putting entrepreneurship to use is James Spanjaard ’14, executive director of Social Business Consulting. The group

Sun Market Watch IRAs Will Include Investment in Bitcoins SecondMarket’s Bitcoin Investment Trust, which invests solely in the digital currency, is working with three individual retirement account providers to allow investors to include bitcoins in their self-directed IRAs, The Wall Street Journal reported Friday.

Twitter Stock Soars Following IPO Twitter’s stock, which began trading under the ticker TWTR, traded at $45.10 after being priced conservatively at $26 per share on Wednesday night, The New York Times reported

Thursday. The stock rose to $50.09 per share before settling around $46 later in the day, according to The Times reported.

S&P Downgrades France’s Debt Rating Standard & Poor’s, predicting close-to-zero economic growth for the country, downgraded France’s foreign debt rating from AA+ to AA, saying President François Hollande’s government are “unlikely to substantially raise France’s mediumterm growth prospects,” Bloomberg Businessweek reported Friday.

aids developing companies across the globe by giving them advice on product development and marketing strategies.

Social Business Consulting has an additional mission: to help social enterprises overcome challenges, Spanjaard said.

“We work with social enterprises and nonprofits and we provide students with an opportunity to get practical hands-on experience … while providing a service to these companies,” he said.

Social Business Consulting is working with multiple social ventures like 5R2I — a community development organization that provides less fortunate citizens of Indonesia with social services — and EduBridge, an organization in India that is trying to educate and employ rural Indians, according to Spanjaard.

“The social enterprise side of it comes up when they are trying to figure out, ‘How do we bring these products to market, how do we create a market for them, how do we structure the distribution?’” he said.

Social Business Consulting also helps Cornell students gain insight into their clients’ businesses, according to Spanjaard.

“We want to help them do better at what they do. … A lot of our members of the organization are business students. [We want to] provide a meaningful and significant experience that makes them feel like they’re making a difference while learning something,” he said.

Though he has always been interested in the business side of affairs, being from South Africa, a place that has a lot of social problems and inequality, Spanjaard said he always had an interest in helping others.

Spanjaard’s current role in Social Business Consulting, in many ways, answers the question that many students today might find themselves thinking about: how can someone simultaneously pursue his or her passions and career interests?

“How do you merge these two? How do I connect my vocational aspirations with what I’m passionate about?”

Spanjaard said. “I hope the rest of my life will be doing that very thing, bringing these two together. There are ways of bringing them together.”

TEI Receives $5M to Further Mission New Eatery Will Serve DONATION

Continued from page 1

Dimiduk. TEI also manages a library from which faculty can borrow technology in order to implement these changes, according to the press release.

The donation will also help TEI continue to conduct its mid-semester evaluations, which, Dimiduk said, will help professors make changes to their courses.

“When you do an end of semester evaluation, it’s too late for the professor to change what he did.

With mid-semester feedback, it’s easy for the professor to change,” Dimiduk said.

Dimiduk added that one of TEI’s main goals is to bring in active learning to the classroom, which she said is “anything that isn’t just sitting and taking notes.”

“Research shows that human beings can only pay strict attention for 15-to-20 minutes, and then attention starts to wander. So by the end of a 75minute class, it’s hard to be writing anything,” Dimiduk said.

TEI has aided teachers in introducing tools such as iClickers into the classroom and by encouraging teachers with large lectures to ask students “talk to your neighbor” questions, according to Dimiduk.

Dimiduk also said that TEI has changed class-

room settings to more easily accommodate active learning. For example, she said an old classroom would have rows of desks with one blackboard, but, after TEI worked with the faculty, a new classroom had multiple circular tables, so students could work in groups.

James McCormick ’69 said the services of TEI have had a positive impact on faculty’s teaching.

“I always thought that professors brilliant at research had the desire to be terrifically effective in the classroom as well. It turns out that they do, and are receptive to upping their game if the right oneto-one coaching is offered,” McCormick said in the press release.

Lance Collins, dean of the College of Engineering, also said in the press release that the donation would help continue the valuable services that TEI offers.

“The McCormicks’ gift will have a profound and lasting impact on engineering at Cornell. Like engineering itself, inspired teaching is an applied science,” Collins said. “The James McCormick Family Teaching Excellence Institute gives us the coaching, the technological tools, the expertise and the innovation to engineer courses that are more effective.”

Japanese,Thai Rice Bowls OISHII

seven or eight dollars and will be finished in four to five minutes,” he said.

Oishii Bowl is the newest addition to the numerous Asian eateries in Collegetown. Plum Tree, Miyake and Café Pacific are three other Japanese restaurants located near Oishii Bowl in Collegetown.

Even then, Winn said he thinks the concept of a rice bowl is unlike anything served by the other Japanese restaurants in Collegetown.

“If you go to Plum Tree or Miyake, you order the food and they give you the rice separately,” he said. “The rice bowls that they actually sell in Japan have meat put directly on top of the rice and mixed with vegetables.”

Winn noted that his inspiration for the restaurant came from his desire to bring the rice bowls typically sold by Japanese vendors to Ithaca.

“Right now, we offer seven different types of rice bowls similar to what is sold in Asia,” he said.

Though the restaurant will feature primarily Japanese cuisine, Winn also said that he has three Thai style rice bowls on the menu.

“I have three kinds of Thai rice bowls, a mango salad, miso soup, and Japanese-style fried chicken and pork,” he said. “For drinks, we offer an iced green tea latte.”

Winn said he hopes to accommodate students’ schedules and is still finalizing the restaurant’s hours.

“On normal business days, I’m trying to be open until 10:30 at night. It’s going to depend on the schedule of most Cornell students,” he said.

For his long-term vision for the restaurant, Winn said he eventually hopes to turn Oishii Bowl into a franchise.

“We want to set it up as a franchise and this is going to be first tried out in Collegetown. We have a lot to improve right now before that,” he said.

Nicholas Suss ’16 expressed his skepticism about another Asian eatery opening in Collegetown.

“Miyake and Plum Tree are two very well-known restaurants among the Cornell student body so I think that opening another Japanese restaurant down the block is a little risky,” he said.

However, he added that he thinks students will be excited to sample the new cuisine.

“At the same time, people do have a tendency to want to try what is new around town, so I definitely think this new establishment will have good business at first, but I am interested to see how well it will do long-term,” he said.

Students Say They Want to Help Victims of Typhoon HAIYAN

Continued from page 1

Although her relatives are fine, she said she is still worried about the population there, as the typhoon’s impact has been devastating.

“The typhoon that hit the Philippines has flattened down multiple towns, multiple communities and took out a lot of the adult population leaving a lot of children alone. I am afraid it’s still hitting,” Arahan said.

The Philippines has been struck by several major typhoons within the past two years, including Tropical Storm Khanun in 2012 and Tropical Storm Washi in 2011. Although the country’s gov-

ernment has made preparations for future natural disasters, the area hit by Haiyan has been seriously damaged, according to Arahan.

Hannah Carandeng ’14, another member of the Cornell Filipino Association, said that, prior to Haiyan striking, the government adopted measures — such as storing most relief goods in the north, where the typhoon was not going to hit as badly — to prevent or at least limit the damage caused by the storm.

However, officials could do nothing to protect the rural area that was most seriously hit, according to Carandeng. The damage caused by the typhoon in this area was compounded by the

instability of most of the buildings there, she said.

“In the countryside, there is very little chance to prevent such a catastrophe. The roofs of the houses there consist of sheets of iron that are not even taped to the building,” she said, adding that rural areas also face the challenge of efficiently communicating information in the storm’s aftermath.

Arahan said she thinks that, although a disaster cannot be prevented, more measures to prepare the population are absolutely needed. Some of the most damaged communities were the more impoverished areas of the country, which were underprepared when the storm hit, she said.

“I think that the most important response is the reactive one rather than the proactive one, but I believe that there is more outreach that can be done to the communities who lack the means to be as prepared as possible when such a catastrophe happens,” she said.

Both Arahan and Carandeng said that they were very glad to learn that there were already many organizations — including the Philippines Red Cross, UNICEF and other relief associations — that are working on collecting donations and volunteers.

Up until now, the Cornell Filipino Association mainly supported philanthropic organizations — partnering with Advancement for Rural Kids and

the Ricefield Collective — that promote an improved livelihood in the country, especially for children.

Now, however, the CFA is planning on moving its philanthropic efforts towards relief, said Nina Valenzuela ’16, the philanthropy chair of the CFA. She said most of the funds raised by the organization will be used to purchase relief goods.

“Most of the money collected through our upcoming events will probably be used to support those organizations that are now working towards helping the Philippines to recover,” she said.

Guest Column

P

etra Collins’ attempts to bring the rawness of the female form into the forefront of American fashion have reached a new climax … pun intended.

For those of you who haven’t heard of her, Collins is a 20-year-old Canadian artist and photography student at Ontario College of Art and Design. She has photographed for Vogue, Urban Outfitters and VICE, but is most well known for her recent collaboration with American Apparel on the “The Ardorous X” fashion line. The controversial line features raw depictions of the female form, including a t-shirt with an unshaven, menstruating vagina accompanied by a hand in a masturbatory position. While her line is controversial, these sorts of themes of women’s sexual liberation are nothing new.

Earlier this month, Collins got herself into a whole bunch of trouble with the folks at Instagram after she posted a photo of herself wearing a bikini where her own pubic hair emerges from the bottoms. In response, Collins’ Instagram account was deleted. As provocative as it was for her to post such a thing on Instagram, the act definitely begs the question: What is so threatening and offensive about her pubes?

Collins claims that she did nothing to violate Instagram’s terms of use which state, “you may not post violent, nude, discriminatory, unlawful, infringing, hateful, pornographic photos or other content via the Service.” I have seen the picture that got her account dismantled, and I can assure you that I’ve seen much worse as in the mainstream media. We see Rihanna’s beaten face all over the news after her bout of battery with Chris Brown, we see Miley’s popularity has soared when she does awkward, naked things on a wrecking ball and, on Instagram alone, several million photos include the hashtag “bikini” without any backlash from the company. It is shocking enough that these depictions of women are the cultural norm.

So, why is it that an image of a woman’s pubic hair has caused such an

uproarious response? Yes, maybe pubes are generally kind of a gross thing and maybe most of us prefer not to have anything to do with them, but how did we develop these preferences? If any of you have studied feminist theory, you’ve probably come across the notion that one of the greatest oppressive mechanisms for women in contemporary society is teaching us to view our bodies through a male lens. We are taught to diet, dress and design our appearances all in order to create docile bodies that take up as little space as possible. Ladies, perhaps you’ve never realized this before, but oftentimes, when we think about our appearances, we are measuring them, not based on our own, independently constructed standards, but based on standards built by a male-dominated society.

What Petra did created such a splash because it explicitly portrays femininity in an organic state, void of any tampering to fit the masculine-lens of beauty. It is important to recognize the implications of women without pubic hair in terms of the dominant cultural tendencies toward female docility. Aside from preferences for certain sexual acts, the absence of pubic hair is clearly reminiscent of a prepubescent girl. This trend only reinforces the reduction of women to a docile, childish objects.

Men and women alike are so often bombarded with pressures to alter their natural states because they feel they aren’t attractive enough the way they are.

However, we should examine our feelings of shock and disdain upon seeing the female body in its most organic state.

By portraying her femininity in a counter-cultural way, Collins made the statement that, perhaps, we should be more critical of the pressures we feel to modify our bodies based on the cultural standards that have been forced upon us.

... the act definitely begs the question: What is so threatening and offensive about her pubes?

57 Years Later, We’re Still Paralyzed by Polio I

f you type the words “Cornell” and “polio” into your Google search engine, the first result you’ll see is a link to an article from The Cornell Daily Sun’s digital archives. The article, which dates back to Nov. 14, 1956, is entitled “Salk Urges Adult Vaccination, Predicts Freedom From Polio.” The news clipping begins with this statement: “Dr. Jonas E. Salk today recommended that adults up to age 50 take shots of Salk polio vaccine. It they do, and if all children are vaccinated, then 1957 could be the first year of complete or nearly complete freedom from paralysis by polio, the Pittsburgh scientist predicted.”

It is quite eerie to read this statement and reflect on how, more than 50 years ago, Cornellians were reading breaking news stories about the creation of the polio vaccine. I think it’s safe to say that no one could have predicted that the world — 50 years after the publication of that article — would be nearly free of polio. According to the World Health Organization, as of April 2013, only three countries (Afghanistan, Nigeria, and Pakistan) remained polio-endemic. However, within the last seven months, it seems as though everything has changed. It is extremely heartbreaking that almost 57 years after that story was first published, we are now facing the threat of a massive polio outbreak.

About a month ago, it was confirmed that the poliovirus had been seen in Syria for the first time in 14 years. Although there have been

Mankind has had the ability to eradicate polio for more than 50 years, and yet we still find ourselves living in a wolrd that is not yet free from polio paralysis. polio outbreaks in the past (in fact, it was reported as recently as Oct, 1 that Somalia has witnessed 175 cases of polio since April 2013), this particular outbreak has proven to be a more dangerous threat to the rest of the world. A virus that is transmitted via contaminated food and water, polio can spread rapidly among children, especially within the unsanitary and debilitating conditions of the refugee camps within and outside of Syria.

In a Reuters report last week, the WHO stated that the virus most likely reached Syria from Pakistan, which is one of the three remaining polio-endemic countries, and that the spread of the virus poses a threat to all children across the Middle East. As a result, the WHO has repeatedly warned the world that as long as a single child remains infected with the disease, children everywhere are at risk.

With this warning in mind, German scientists are now claiming that Europe also faces the threat of being exposed to polio, as Syrian refugees are not only fleeing to neighboring countries, but to countries within Europe as well. Furthermore, most European countries use inactivated polio vaccine (IPV) rather than oral polio vaccine (OPV), which is a live form of immunization. So, while IPV is effective at preventing polio from occurring, it isn’t as effective at providing protection from infection if the virus is actively circulating. Thus, it is very possible that the virus, which hasn’t been seen in Europe for decades, could be reintroduced to the continent.

The Syrian Civil War has been going on for more than two years now, and it seems that there is no end in sight. Ultimately, as the bloodshed continues and the Syrian people suffer, the consequences of war and armed conflict are far-reaching and immediate for everyone throughout the world. It only takes one small event to cause a negative and disastrous chain reaction of global proportions. Although the origins of that one event are shrouded in mystery, the reintroduction of a disease that was so close to being eradicated is a deplorable testament to the horrors of war and its devastating ramifications for every person on this planet. So, exactly three days before the 57th publication anniversary of The Sun’s once-hopeful and promising news story, I urge you to consider the tragic irony in the fact that mankind has had the ability to eradicate polio for more than 50 years, and yet we still find ourselves living in a world that is not yet free from polio paralysis.

Comment of the day “I agree that the GOP should attract more minority votes by genuinely helping them rather than tricking them. But it’s not clear that Julius is saying that. He seems to suggest that the GOP should focus on the policies which minority voters are more likely to favor. I think this is better than actually changing your ideas on what’s best for individuals in this country just to get more votes and stay in power.

In reality, both Democrats and Republicans usually ‘try to beguile them to their side’ and don’t ‘genuinely want to help’ anyone but themselves (politicians).”

Legendary Singer, Intimate Performance

Elvis Costello At the State CHAD BATKA / THE NEW YORK TIMES

ZACHARY ZAHOS Sun Associate Managing Editor

There is an awesome dissonance to Elvis Costello’s genius: He’s got that voice, as recognizable as David Bowie’s or Van Morrison’s (if you think about it, it pretty much sounds like a marriage of the two) that has hardly changed after more than 40 years of belting. But then you’ve got his actual music — 32 studio albums worth, kicking off with radiofriendly punk before spiraling into soul, country, folk, electronica, jazz and classical. Hell, he made an album with The Roots this year. The word “chameleon” is often used to describe Costello, and rightly so, yet he’s the same guy, with the same voice, the same glasses, the trademark suits and fedoras. If there is any venue in Ithaca where time can, for a little over two hours, at least, slow down and where the man himself can open up, it is our very own State Theatre, where COURTESY OF JAMES O’MARA AND ELVIS COSTELLO

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT

Costello played a solo set Thursday night courtesy of Dan Smalls Presents. Turns out Elvis Costello is not only a virtuosic performer but also a gracious, funny guy eager to look back on his roots, music history and the popular enigma he has erected in his name.

A jumbo-sized “On Air” sign idled by stage right before the show began. There was little other ornamentation up there, save for an intimidating number of guitars (I counted five). My eyes wandered over the State Theatre’s walls, ceilings and lamps, soaking in their history. Not long after a beaming Costello, sans opener, took the stage at 8 p.m. and the “On Air” sign lit up, he made sure to applaud his surroundings. “I’m making an effort to play all the old vaudeville theaters,” he said humbly, reminiscing about when he first visited America and made sure to see all the monuments: “The St. Louis Arch, the Empire State Building ... and Ithaca.” “Rock and roll was invented here in Ithaca, you know,” he quipped later in the night, “concocted in a science lab here in Cornell, before anyone wanted it.”

A genuine appreciation for our town and his audience buoyed any dry sarcasm, which could explain why this sold-out crowd greeted every song with some of the loudest, most passionate ovations I have ever heard.

He earned it.

From the first song, My Aim Is True’s “Welcome to Working Week,” Costello radiated excitement. On “King Horse,” he toyed with pedal reverb and stuck all the requisite high notes and then

some. His voice held strong to the end, although he called on audience participation now and then. At times, the calland-response echoed the scatting of Cab Calloway — as during his performance of “America Without Tears,” where he approached something like delirium with complicated doo-wop and trills.

When covering The Beatles’ “You’ve Got to Hide Your Love Away,” he egged everyone on to really shout the “Hey!” that precedes the eponymous chorus — he seemed so happy to perform a song he has clearly loved since childhood. Just to balance the mood, perhaps, he got the crowd to reiterate, “Now I’m dead ... I was scared,” a bunch of times in “God’s Comic.” This call-and-response got louder and louder and, by song’s end, felt more cathartic than macabre.

If the back-and-forth is any indication, Costello hosted an atypically intimate night of music and chatting about music. “This is a socio-political survey,” he announced early on, “about the last [50 to 70 years] of history and my place in it.” A proven legend like Elvis Costello can spout as many self-aggrandizing boasts as he wants, as far I’m concerned, yet this quote turned out to be a wordy precursor to a selfless and sentimental examination of his family and influences. In between a Nat King Cole cover, “Walkin’ My Baby Back Home,” and “Ghost Train,” he joked about his late father, a musician who “looked like a hippie” or Peter Sellers from What’s New Pussycat? (think Velma from Scooby Doo).

His dad once booked him a gig as a backup guitarist before he even knew how to play. Costello improvised, going crazy on air guitar to the befuddlement of his older audience. He actually learned how to play guitar, of course, and, in those Born to Run days, he wanted nothing more than to be Bruce Springsteen. This idealism produced “Radio Soul,” a highlight of the evening and a much more romantic precursor to the scathing hit “Radio Radio.” This reflection granted Costello an opportunity to weigh in on the power of music, which he believes mixes internal emotions with the drama of melody and dynamics to create something uniquely empathetic. Given the evidence, I don’t

think he could find one naysayer for miles around.

When his narrative arrived at his grandfather, Costello worked the audience like a seasoned comic, with speculation about how his ancestor was too “finely dressed” for a trumpet player: he must have been a smuggler, too. This levity segued into talk of the Great Depression and “Jimmie Standing in the Rain,” the strongest and most heartrending song of the night. The ache of his voice as he sang that borrowed last line, “I’m your pal/Brother, can you spare me a dime?” away from his microphone lingered in the air before being swept up by exuberant cheers from every soul in attendance. A similar vibe informed “Alison,” which he sang with little movement and his hat tilted down. He hushed his guitar to let his melismatic vocals take over. In such a charged, nostalgic atmosphere, that oft-repeated line, “I’m not gonna get too sentimental ...” revealed its true colors.

By the second encore (thats right, second), Costello took requests with a loud, red, light-up “Requests” sign. A tender rendition of “Tripwire” on electric guitar morphed into a wild “(What’s So Funny ’bout) Peace, Love and Understanding,” which ended in a carnal loop of guitar feedback. Costello met multiple standing ovations with a bow and quick retreat back to the guitar or, by the end, keyboard, holding a finger up in the hair to indicate “Just one more.” He actually followed up with two more, ending on the somber ballad “The Puppet Has Cut His Strings,” which reaffirmed worked more to reaffirm the pathos of the second-act songs than the comic, pub-like feel of the first act. We got close to the man, we laughed with him, we exchanged compliments. By the end, that internal artistry reclaimed its hold, bringing the mood down while keeping our spirits high. Elvis Costello shared something special with us Thursday, something complete. But he, like every true genius, left the stage a puzzle unsolved.

Ithaca International Fantastic Film Festival

8:00 p.m. on Saturday at State Theatre of Ithaca

First screening at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday at Cinemapolis

“If it weren’t for my horse, I wouldn’t have spent that year in college,” Lewis Black said on his The White Album back in 2000. While this has nothing to do with his upcoming performance at the State Theatre on Saturday, he is performing near a couple of colleges. And, since there hopefully isn’t a horse in your way, there is no excuse not to see Lewis Black this weekend and count him say f*ck precisely 12 times. A Grammy Award winner and 51 on Comedy Central’s 2004 list of 100 Greatest Stand-up Comedians of All Time, Black is a performer to see. Your stomach may never feel the same.

Coming back to Ithaca this week is IIFFF: The Ithaca International Fantastic Film Festival. Featuring an international short film competition, a tribute to horror film writer Dan O'Bannon — the writer of the Alien franchise — and dozens of other previously unreleased gems, IIFFF should not be missed.

NICK PARISI / SUN STAFF ILLUSTRATOR

The loss of another physical place for communal gathering is sad. Back in its heyday, Blockbuster was the place you were most likely to run into someone you knew. I remember running into my 8th grade crush at our local Blockbuster one Friday night. She was holding Air Bud: Golden Receiver. My heart swooned. I asked her out. She said she’d let me know. I’m still waiting to hear back.

But the point is, our serendipitous interaction gave me the window to ask her out. Technology, though it may be more convenient, leads us to live more insular lives, diminishing the need to physically go to the mall, the library or ever change out of our bathrobes. This diminishes the opportunities for random run-ins, fateful bump-intos and chance encounters. The world, inside and outside of Cornell can be a big scary place at times. There is something comforting about communal gathering spaces and something is lost when we lose them. Blockbuster was once one of these spaces, and now it is gone. Good night sweet prince of late fees. At least I will miss you.

Giants Take Three Straight Spurs Handle Knicks EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — A couple of comeback kids kept the New York Giants' season alive.

Terrell Thomas returned an interception 65 yards to set up a go-ahead 1-yard touchdown run by fellow comebacker Andre Brown, and the New York Giants won their third straight game, 24-20 Sunday over Oakland.

The error-prone Giants (3-6) handed the Raiders (3-6) their first 17 points on first-half turnovers. But they got 115 yards rushing by Brown in his first game this season, and another big defensive game to keep their season alive.

Despite throwing another pick-6, Eli Manning threw a 5yard touchdown pass to Rueben Randle, and Cooper Taylor scored on a 21-yard return with a blocked punt. Josh Brown added a field goal.

Terrelle Pryor scored on 1-yard run and Tracy Porter on a 43-yard interception

return for Oakland.

Sebastian Janikowski kicked two field goals.

Coming off an embarrassing 49-20 loss to Philadelphia, this was a game the Raiders probably should have won despite only 213 yards in total offense.

Porter's interception return put them ahead 17-14 at the half and Janikowski's 24-yard field goal that capped an eightminute stretched the lead to 20-14.

It should have been more. Oakland had a first-and-goal at the New York 1 on the 14-play drive.

But they wound up with a field goal.

Then Oakland got the ball back at the New York 48 following a 27-yard punt by Steve Weatherford into a stiff breeze. And Thomas, who missed the last two seasons with ACL injuries, made the biggest play of the game. He stepped in front of Denarius Moore and ran toward the gaping end zone, avoiding a tackle by Pryor

inside the 20 before being tackled by Andre Holmes.

The ball came loose, and officials said Thomas was down.

Andre Brown, who broke his left leg for the second time in less than a year in the preseason finale, gave the Giants the lead from the 1-yard line following a pass interference call.

Josh Brown added a 23-yard field goal in the fourth quarter and New York iced the game when Mathias Kiwanuka had a sack-forced fumble on Oakland's final possession.

Despite being limited to 99 yards in the first half, the Raiders led 17-14.

Pryor scored from 1 yard on the second play from scrimmage. Taiwan Jones forced Jerrel Jernigan to cough up the ball on the opening kickoff return, and Holmes returned the ball 22 yards to the Giants 5.

New York, which had given up special teams touchdowns in the two previous

games before a bye week, got one back.

Damontre Moore blocked Marquette King's punt and Taylor scooped up the ball at the Raiders 21 and scored.

Oakland took a 10-7 lead on a 33yard field goal by Janikowski. A fumble by running back Peyton Hillis on a short pass set up the score.

Manning finally got the Giants going in the second quarter, leading an 11play drive he capped with a 5-yard pass to Rueben Randle.

New York was looking to build off that 14-10 lead just before the half when Manning and Randle connected on a 25yard pass. But Manning, who had not thrown an interception in the Giants' two wins, reverted back to his old form. Under a little pressure, he underthrew Victor Cruz and a wideopen Porter picked off the ball and was not touched on a 43yard jaunt to the end zone.

With Ease at Garden

NEW YORK (AP) — Danny Green had 24 points and a career-high 10 rebounds, and the San Antonio Spurs pounded the New York Knicks 120-89 on Sunday for their fourth straight victory.

Kawhi Leonard scored 18 points and Tony Parker had 17 in a game that was close for about 3 minutes. San Antonio scored the first 10 points, led by as many as 37, and was in complete control in between.

Tim Duncan took just four shots but finished with 11 points and 10 rebounds as San Antonio shot 54 percent.

The Spurs spoiled the season debut of Knicks guard J.R. Smith, last season's Sixth Man of the Year. Suspended the first five games of the season for violating the NBA's anti-drug program, Smith shot 1 of 9 and scored five points in 20 minutes.

Carmelo Anthony and Andrea Bargnani both scored 16 for the Knicks.

Though San Antonio leads the Western Conference with a 6-1 record, coach Gregg Popovich said before the game the Spurs were playing C+ or Bbasketball, adding there was "not much" he liked about the Spurs' start.

Well, hard to give this performance anything but an A+.

Green hit two 3-pointers in the 10-0 start, Marco Belinelli's 3 made it 174, and the Spurs hit 13 of 18 shots while opening a 35-17 lead after one quarter, matching their highest-scoring period of the season.

The lead grew to 24 points in the second, the Spurs repeatedly moving the ball to an open player before the Knicks knew what was happening.

San Antonio was making roughly two of every three shots for much of the first half and took a 61-45 lead into the locker room after shooting 62 percent.

Smith, who ended the postseason in a miserable shooting slump, opened this season the same way. He missed all five shots in the first half, unable to shake the rust after appearing in just one preseason game following summer knee surgery.

By the time he made a 3-pointer with 8:43 left in the third quarter for his first basket, the Knicks trailed by 26 points. The Spurs went up by 30 a few minutes later on another 3 by Green, and fans loudly booed when Amare Stoudemire missed both free throws with a little less than 3 minutes left in the period.

The Knicks won both meetings last season, sweeping the Spurs for the first time in 10 years. But with center Tyson Chandler sidelined with a broken leg, New York looked defenseless against the Western Conference champions.

It was such a laugher that Popovich had Duncan, a career 69 percent free throw shooter, take the shot when Knicks coach Mike Woodson was called for a technical foul in the third quarter. Naturally, the way this one went, Duncan made it.

Turnovers, Cooney’s Shooting Plague Red in Second Half

half adjustments by the Orange with hindering his flow.

“They definitely matched up with me a little more,” he said. “Every time I was down there, their zone was shading a bit towards me.”

The shots that were falling for Cressler and his teammates in the first half began rimming out in the second. The precision passes that cut through Syracuse’s tight zone in the game’s first 20 minutes were getting engulfed by the long arms of a more active Orange zone in the second half.

While Syracuse’s shooting continued heating up behind Cooney after halftime, Cornell’s offense responded with errant passes out of bounds or right into the hands of Syracuse defenders. At one point mid-way through the second half, the Red committed turnovers on seven of eight possessions as its second half deficit grew to 62-48. The accurate second half shooting of Syracuse gave the Orange the opportunity to get back into their zone after each made basket.

“There were hands everywhere, they are as good as anyone in the country at creating turnovers,” Courtney said.

lead in the match-up. Less than eight minutes into the first period, Ryan fired a wrist shot that slid past the right post to give the Red the 1-0 lead. Rensselaer came back in the second period, however, scoring on a short-handed goal 1:11 into the period. It was the first short-handed goal the Red had given up in 52 games, a streak dating back to January of 2012.

The Engineers added their second goal late in the second period during a power play for the 2-1 lead. They netted their last goal, an even strength tally, 7:59 into the third period for the 3-1 advantage.

The next day’s game was a frustrating affair for the Red, which failed to put away several early chances against Union and suffered its second shutout in six games. The Red has yet to outshoot an opponent this season, and managed only 11 shots on goal compared to the Dutchmen’s 31.

“Our forwards were just — there’s no other way to say it —

they were awful,” head coach Mike Schafer ’86 said in a statement after the game. “They turned pucks over, they didn’t know where they were going, they didn’t do the things we talked about. Bringing pucks to the net, they didn’t do that. They looked to pass all the time; just a frustrating night all around.”

After a scoreless first period, the Red surrendered the first goal seven minutes into the second, allowing Union to put away a rebound in front of Iles.

Dutchmen defenseman and Flyers prospect Shayne Gotisbehere tallied the second goal for Union more than halfway through the third period, sliding the puck inside the right post.

Five minutes later, Union took advantage of an odd-man rush, firing a wrist shot past Iles on a two-on-one for the 3-0 lead. “[The third goal] was reflective of our forwards’ effort and will to win,” Schafer said in the statement. “They had a greater will tonight than we did.”

Cooney continued to light up the scoreboard until both teams put in their substitutes.

The Syracuse sophomore finished with 27 points, connecting on seven of eight shots from behind the arc, with each subsequent three sending the crowd into a deeper frenzy.

His three ball at 14:56 in the second put the Orange up 4745, a lead the Red would never reclaim.

The Red’s first half effort earned praise from Syracuse’s Hall of Fame coach.

“They made some tough shots,” said Jim Boeheim. “If they shoot like that, they’re going to win a lot of games in the Ivy League.”

With a long non-conference preseason ahead of his team, Courtney said the effort and efficient ball movement against a Top-10 team bodes well for the future.

“That’s why we give them the opportunity to play the best,” Courtney said. “We will continue to strive to get to that high level.”

Red One of Two Undefeated NCAA Teams Remaining

By BEN HOROWITZ Sun Staff Writer

The No. 3 Cornell women’s hockey team went undefeated in two ECAC contests this weekend at Lynah Rink, and after these impressive wins over Rensselaer and Union, the Red remains one of only two unbeaten teams in the NCAA. After defeating Rensselaer (3-7-1, 2-2-0 ECAC) in a close Friday night contest, 3-1, the Red enjoyed a lopsided win over Union (4-8, 1-3 ECAC), 8-1, on Saturday. According to senior forward and captain Jessica Campbell, the Red’s unbeaten streak is cementing its elite

position above most other teams in the league.

“Me and Alyssa Gagliardi, the other cocaptain, have been talking to the team about how there are a lot of ups and downs in the league, and the Minnesota Gophers are the only other undefeated team, but we want to be the exception,” she said. “We don’t want to be that team that just follows everyone else this year and can be beaten by anyone on any given day. We want to be the frontrunner, and our coach says that at this point in the season, halfway through the first half, you start to see great teams separate themselves from average teams.”

ALEX HERNANDEZ / SUN STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER

Last two standing | Junior forward Jillian Saulnier scored four goals in two games this weekend, helping the Red become the only undefeated team aside from Minessota in the NCAA.

Friday’s game against the Engineers started off relatively slowly, with Cornell killing off two RPI power plays early in the period.

Junior forward Jillian Saulnier broke through with a goal on Cornell’s first power play with about four minutes left in the first, and freshman Hanna Bunton netted her first collegiate goal with just one tenth of a second left in the period, giving the Red a 20 edge. According to Campbell, the Red’s ability to score on the power play and kill penalties are key aspects of its success.

“We put a lot of work into our special teams, power play and penalty kill, and I think thats starting to show,” she said. “It’s nice to see early on that we’re having success on the power play and defending a lot of penalty kills as well, because as we move forward it’s going to be crucial to our success.

To be able to get confident in those systems now is huge for us because they do make a big impact on the result of the game.”

According to Saulnier, strong chemistry on the power play has been a crucial component of its success.

“I think we’re talking well, and we’re getting used to each other and where everyone’s going to be,” she said. “Sometimes that’s what makes good teams great, knowing where your teammates are going to be without even having to look. We’ve been working on that a lot in practice and we’ve been getting lots of opportunities in games to execute.”

The special teams success continued in the second, with Cornell killing off a fiveon-three power play to preserve the 2-0 lead.

The Engineers cut their deficit to one in the third, but Saulnier responded by scoring her second of the game to seal the win.

Saturday’s win over the Dutchmen was far easier. Cornell scored four goals in the first period and enjoyed a 6-0 lead before Union could get one goal on the board.

Freshman goalie Paula Voorheis saw her first collegiate action when the game was well in hand and made 18 saves.

“I think the greatest thing to see on our team is that everyone has contributed, and if you look at the statistics, every line, even defense, are getting big goals for us. It’s great to see that we’re all having success,” Campbell said.

This coming weekend, the Red will travel to face traditional rivals Harvard and Dartmouth in two important ECAC contests.

“The win happens and it’s in the past, and you're on to the next game, so just making sure to stay humble and continue to focus on our goals will hopefully lead us to the success that we want,” Campbell said.

According to Campbell, the Red is confident in its abilities and is excited for the upcoming games.

“We’re trying to stick with what’s working for us and to keep building, because we are very confident in what we’re doing and we’re going to keep moving forward and keep getting better,” she said. “It’s great to have an awesome start like we’re having, and our team is very excited to see where it’s going. We have some huge games coming up this weekend. If we can come up big this weekend it’s going to make a statement and send a message to the rest of the league that we’re going to keep leading the way.”

Normally Potent Offense Held to One Touchdown FOOTBALL

Continued from page 16

Not on this day.

Perhaps the most frustrating play of the game for the Red was the last one of the first half. The Cornell secondary allowed Williams to lob a 25-yard

touchdown pass to junior wide receiver Bo Patterson as time expired, giving the hosts a threetouchdown shutout lead at the half.

Dartmouth senior running back Dominick Pierre scored the first two touchdowns of the game on three-yard runs in the

first and second quarters. Pierre, the leading rusher in the Ivies, was taken out of the game after the second score to rest a nagging injury and replaced by sophomore Kyle Bramble, who slugged for 110 yards on 24 carries.

Cornell’s defense clamped

down in the third quarter to force the Green to punt twice and settle for two field goals.

Senior safety Brian Gee and senior linebacker Brett Buehler were all over the field with 14 tackles apiece. Two other linebackers, senior Tre’ Minor and junior Taylor Betros, each recorded nine tackles and combined for 5.5 tackles for loss.

The Red also tallied just its ninth and tenth sacks of the season.

The offense, however, was uncharacteristically anemic to prevent any chance of a comeback. Cornell finally put together a scoring drive at the beginning of the fourth quarter, with Mathews throwing a touchdown for the 14th straight game to make the score 27-6 after a failed extra point attempt.

Senior wide receiver Grant Gellatly was on the receiving end of the eight-yard toss for his seventh touchdown catch of the season.

The Red plays two more games in 2013, hosting Columbia (0-8, 0-5) on Saturday and traveling to Penn (4-4, 3-2) on Nov. 23. The last home contest against the winless Lions could be the perfect cure for the Red’s losing ills.

“We are going to work hard and put everything we have into these last two games and put the seniors out on a good note,” Hagy said. “They have put so much into this program; they deserve it. But nothing comes easy.”

Princeton, Harvard Headline Ivy League Tigers Remain Undefeated Through Week Five T

he Ivy League football season is winding down. With just two weeks left in the regular season, Princeton now stands as the only undefeated Ancient Eight team, and barring a collapse down the homestretch, is the favorite to take the title.

Harvard sits at second in the conference with only one loss, and is likely the only team with a chance to overtake the Tigers.

The Crimson would need a win over Penn next weekend, and they would need Yale to come away with the upset over Princeton in order to keep title hopes alive. This past weekend, the headline matchup in the conference was between Princeton and Penn, two teams in the top half of the standings. Penn, who was picked by the Ivy League preseason media poll to finish first in the league, lost to the Tigers, 38-26.

Princeton has shocked the league thus far, after being picked to finish fifth in the same poll.

Yale also defeated Brown on Saturday, keeping its record above .500. Bulldogs quarterback Henry Furman threw for two touchdowns and 107 yards, while running back Deon Randall ran for 59 yards and a touchdown. Harvard shut out Columbia, 34-0, leaving both the Lions and Cornell in the cellar of the conference, still searching for an Ivy win.

The two teams will face off next weekend in Ithaca.

Gellatly, Mathews Named to Capital One Academic Team T

Looking Back

MICHELLE FELDMAN / SUN STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER

he Red is still winless in the Ivy League, but one bright spot for the squad this weekend was the announcement that senior wide receiver Grant Gellatly and senior quarterback Jeff Mathews were honored by being named to the Capital One Academic All-District Football team. This is the first time either of them has been named to this prestigious squad.

Nine other Ivy Leaguers join Mathews and Gellatly on the list of 20 players in their region, including Princeton’s defensive back Phillip Baya and Yale’s offensive lineman John Oppenheimer. According to the Capital One All-America website, the players are chosen by the College Sports Information Directors of America, and are recognized for their “combined performances atheletically and in the classroom.” The list is divided into eight geographic districts across the United States and Canada.

MATHEWS Gellatly has come into his own this season as a leader of a young receiving core that lost Kurt Ondash ’13 and Luke Tasker ’13 to graduation last year. The senior now ranks among Cornell’s all time leaders in receptions (167), receiving yards (2,113) and all-purpose yards (3,353). He leads the Ivy League and is third nationally in receptions per game with 9.1. Gellatly has come alive especially in his last five games, receiving for 714 yards and six touchdowns in that span. Gellatly also maintains a 3.53 GPA in the School of Industrial and Labor Relations.

Mathews, the Red’s prolific signal caller of the past four years, has continued to break records this season, and this honor comes as no surprise, considering the three-year captain maintains a 3.45 GPA in the AEM school. Mathews holds 44 Cornell records and 17 Ancient Eight records, and was also named the Ivy League Player of the Year in 2011.

GELLATLY Mathews and Gellatly hope to give their team its first Ivy League win of the season next weekend against Columbia.

Red Falls Despite Strong First Half

No.8 Syracuse gets a scare from Cornell at Carrier Dome

By BRIAN GORDON Sun Contributor

The No. 8 Syracuse Orange (1-0) defeated the Cornell Big Red (0-1), 82-60 on Friday night, but the 22-point final deficit tells only half the story. The Red came to play at the Carrier Dome, jumping out to a surprising 14-point first-half lead, leaving a mostly hostile crowd of 24,788 stunned.

Sophomore guard Nolan Cressler caught fire for much of the first half, totaling 20 points in the game’s first 16 minutes. A two-time Ivy League Rookie of the Week last season, Cressler was transcendent on Friday, finding pockets of open space throughout Syracuse’s vaunted 2-3 zone. Cressler, along with freshman guard Robert Hatter, paced Cornell early, as the Red outplayed and outhustled a much larger and more skilled Orange squad in front of a raucous Syracuse student section. As point guard, the inexperienced Hatter demonstrated considerable poise on the court.

“My teammates welcome me, they let me be a leader.

They trust me and I trust them,” said the freshman from Houston. Hatter finished with nine points and two assists in only 14 minutes of play.

As a team, the Big Red shot 43 percent from behind the arc in the first half, keeping the increasingly frustrated Orange from cutting into a deficit that hovered around ten for much of the period. Each time Syracuse would piece together a run, Cornell seemed to answer with a three ball. As a fan in the Syracuse student section

dryly stated, “Cornell has figured out that three points is more than two. They truly are in the Ivy League.”

Defensively, the Red was stout as well, preventing preseason ACC Player of the Year C. J. Fair from ever getting into a rhythm.

“We did a lot of things that we wanted to do in the first half. We wanted them to take outside jump shots, contested jumps shots,” said head coach Bill Courtney, who is entering his fourth season at the helm for the Red. Fair put the first points on the board for either squad with an easy lefty layup. Cornell answered a minute later when Hatter, playing his first minute of non-exhibition collegiate basketball, lobbed a precise pass to a soaring freshman forward David Onuorah for an alley-oop dunk. This sparked a 7-0 run for the Red, who would stretch the lead into double digits as the first half wore on. A combination of relentless zone and man-to-man pressure from senior forward Dwight Tarwater and junior guard Devin Cherry kept Fair, an NBA prospect, under control for much of the game.

Fair finished with 19 points, but also had 7 turnovers.

Cressler’s 20th point was notched on a goaltending jumper, which stretched Cornell’s lead to its largest margin of the night, 36-22. Behind a pair of Trevor Cooney three pointers, the Orange put together a 10-2 run to close the half, leaving Cornell to take a rather precarious six-point lead into the halftime locker room.

Icers Score Twice in Two Minutes,Tie Rensselaer

By EMILY BERMAN Sun Assistant Sports Editor

For 76 consecutive games, senior goaltender Andy Iles has been the consistent, stabilizing presence for the men’s ice hockey team. It was without him on the ice, however, that the Red shone on Friday night, scoring two goals in the final 1:35 of regulation with Iles pulled for the extra attacker to give Cornell a 3-3 tie with No. 10/13 Rensselaer. The No. 14/15 Red (3-2-1, 1-2-1) failed to keep the momentum going into Saturday’s matchup, though, and was shutout 3-0 for the second straight Saturday, falling to Union in a game in which the Red mustered only 11 shots.

Junior forward and captain John McCarron assisted on both of Friday’s late goals, increasing his

team-leading point total to nine points in six games. For the first goal, he dished the puck from behind the net to sophomore linemate Christian Hilbrich, who sent a feed to junior defenseman Joakim Ryan. While shooting, Ryan drew a penalty from Rensselaer leading scorer Ryan Haggerty, giving the Red a goal and a power play in the same motion.

Barely over a minute later, Ryan sent the puck to McCarron on the wall, who passed it to senior forward Dustin Mowrey. Mowrey snapped a shot from the high slot behind Engineer goalie Scott Diebold to tie the game with 30 seconds remaining.

Despite clawing its way back to a tie, the Red had held the initial See M. HOCKEY page 13

The 2013 season doesn’t appear to be turning around any time soon. The Cornell football team turned in a dud of a performance on the NBC Sports Network to lose its seventh straight game, falling to Dartmouth, 34-6, on Saturday evening in Hanover, N.H. While the Red (1-7, 0-5 Ivy League) punted after its first seven possessions and threw an interception on the eighth, Dartmouth (4-4, 32) rushed for 291 yards and held the ball for over 38 of the 60 minutes. Cornell’s defense played well in spurts, but wasn’t nearly good enough to hold off the steady Green attack that produced 510 total yards, led by sophomore quarterback Dalyn Williams.

Williams passed for 156 yards and a touchdown and rushed for 110 gained yards. It got so ugly that junior backup and former starter Alex Park took over with 10 minutes to play with a 27-6 Green lead, completing all four passes for 63 yards and a score. Williams’ first career start was a win over the Red in Ithaca in 2012 when Park was injured, and the sophomore’s dualthreat ability has kept him on the job since.

The Cornell offense, meanwhile, couldn’t get into a rhythm all night, mustering only 11 first downs and 216 yards against the Ancient Eight’s best defense. Senior quarterback Jeff Mathews had only 169 yards of offense, just over half his season average of 331. Mathews leads the FCS in proportion of team’s yardage and quite clearly, as he goes, so goes the Red offense.

“Dartmouth has a very good defense, but it wasn’t as much of what they did but more of what we didn’t do,” sophomore running back Luke Hagy said in a text message to the Sun. “We didn’t execute and had penalties that killed us. We were the ones that stopped ourselves.”

Mathews short-armed a few throws early, suffered a few drops by receivers and was sacked four times. The Red tried to establish a running

game early, as Hagy carried eight times for 30 yards in the first half. But after falling behind 21-0 by intermission, the visitors were quickly forced to do what they do best — pass — but were wholly unable to do so until the game was out of reach in the fourth quarter.

“We believed we could run on them and that our [offensive line] was moving the line of scrimmage,” Hagy said. “Once you get down a couple scores and it gets later in the game, it’s harder to run and especially with our offense and Jeff at quarterback we can score pretty quickly.”
