Duke has long prided itself on having both a top-notch social

life and elite academics that rival its Ivy League counterparts. Historically considered the best U.S. academic institutions, the eight Ivy League schools, Stanford University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology also represent Duke’s closest undergraduate competition. But are Duke’s undergraduates as good as Harvard students and the rest of the Ivy Leagueers? Yes and no, according to academic indicators .such as SAT scores, popular college rankings,

numbers of National Merit Scholars and graduate placement. According to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions and Chronicle research, Harvard, MIT, Princeton, Stanford and Yale effectively comprise the “best of the best” in U.S. academics, and Duke lags behind in almost every category. Christoph Guttentag, dean of undergraduate admissions, said data indicates that for the classes of 2008 and 2009, about 85 percent of students accepted to Duke and one of the five institutions that fall in the first group of competing schools—a group for SEE RANKING ON PAGE 8

l-AA foe embarrasses Blue Devils by

Sean Moroney THE CHRONICLE

Duke kicked off its 2006 campaign in ominous fashion, losing to Division I-AA Richmond, 13-0, in Wallace Wade Stadium

Saturday.

The Blue Devils’ loss to the

Spiders was their first ever in nine tries against a Division I-AA opponent. It was also the team’s 12th loss in its last 13 games,

with the only victory coming over I-AA Virginia Military Institute last season. Duke’s offense was unable to mount any successful drives in the shutout loss. Whenever the Blue Devils (0-1) threatened to

score, Richmond (1-0) either capitalized on Duke’s mistakes or stuffed the Blue Devils short of the goal line. “We knew what they were,” head coach Ted Roof said of Richmond. “All you have to do is turn on the tape, and it’s very obvious they are a good football team. They played about like what we though they would. They played well. We just didn’t play like we needed to win.” Duke’s trouble began on the second play of the game—a play that served as a foreboding sign of things to come for the Blue SEE RICHMOND ON SW PAGE

Iraqi troops nab top al Qaeda leader by

Elena Becatoros

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BAGHDAD, Iraq Authorities Sunday announced the capture of al Qaeda in Iraq’s No. 2 leader Sunday, accusing him of “brutal and merciless” terror operations, including the bombing of a Shiite shrine that touched off the sectarian bloodletting pushing Iraq toward civil war. Iraq’s national security adviser said Hamed Jumaa Farid al-Saeedi, known as Abu Humam or Abu Rana, was arrested a few days ago as he hid in a residential building southwest of Baqouba. The arrest has left al Qaeda in Iraq suffering a “serious leadership crisis,” nation-

al security adviser Mouwafak al-Rubaie said. “Our troops have dealt fatal and painful blows to this organization.” He accused the terror suspect of supervising the creation of death squads and ordering assassinations, bombings, kidnappings and attacks on Iraqi police and army checkpoints. “The operations were brutal and merciless,” al-Rubaie said. Not much is known about al-Saeedi, but al-Rubaie said he was the second most important al Qaeda in Iraq leader after Abu Ayyub al-Masri, who is believed to have taken over the group after a U.S. air strike killed leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi June 7. Al-Rubaie said al-Saeedi was “direcdy re-

sponsible” for an attack by Haitham Sabah Shaker Mohammed al-Badri, an Iraqi whom authorities have accused of leading the Feb. 22 bombing against the Shiite shrine in Samarra, 60 miles north of Baghdad. The attack inflamed tensions between Shiite and Sunni Muslims and triggered reprisal attacks that have killed hundreds of Iraqis. Al-Saeedi’s capture “will affect al Qaeda in Iraq and its operations against our people, especially those aimed at inciting sectarian strife,” al-Rubaie said. The U.S.-led coalition and Iraqi authorities have announced numerous arrests after al-Zarqawi was killed that officials claim have thrown al Qaeda in Iraq into disarray.

Agassi ends career with Open defeat by

Howard Fendrich

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Crouched alone in the NEW YORK silence of the locker room, a pro tennis player no more, a red-eyed Andre Agassi twisted his torso in an attempt to conquer the seemingly mundane task of pulling a white shirt over his head. Never more than at that moment did Agassi seem so vulnerable, looking far older than his 36 years, wrestling not simply with his bad back but also with two overwhelming and conflicting emotions. There was the concrete sense of departure, of knowing his career came to an end

Sunday with a 7-5, 6-7 (4), 6-4, 7-5 loss to 112th-ranked Benjamin Becker in the third round at the U.S. Open. And there was the freeing sense of excitement, of knowing he has more time to devote to his wife, Steffi Graf, and their two children; of knowing there are no more flights to catch, no more practice sessions, no more injections to dull the searing pain of an irritated sciatic nerve. That’s why, for Agassi himself and the 20,000 or so fans who honored him with a raucous, four-minute standing ovation in Arthur Ashe Stadium after the match, it truly did not matter all that much what Sunday’s outcome was. This day and this tour-

all about saying goodbye to an eight-time Grand Slam champion who grew up in front of the world, from the cocky kid with shoulder-length hair and denim shorts to the thoughtful guy with the shaved pate and proper tennis whites. “The scoreboard said I lost today, but what the scoreboard doesn’t say is what it is I’ve found,” Agassi told the crowd, tears streaming down his cheeks, his voice cracking with emotion. “Over the last 21 years, I’ve found loyalty. You have pulled for me on the court and also in life. I have found inspiration. You have willed me to succeed sometimes even in my lowest moments.” nament were

pus lawn location used in previous years. The show saw a large turnout from both the Duke and Durham communities. People gathered on blankets and in chairs, many with homemade picnics, to enjoy the evening event. After starting rehearsals together just two days before the Sunday night concert, the orchestra put on an impressive show of popular music, including pieces from from movies such as “West Side Story” and “My Fair Lady.” The concert was an “absolutely great success,” said Hsiao-Mei Ku, associate professor of the practice of music, noting that the number of people attending the concert was larger than in previous years. Holding the concert on the plaza made it easier for upperclassmen to attend the event. “I like it better than on East Campus,” said Scott Eren, a sophomore who attended last year’s Pops concert. “It seems like more people can get out here.” While many agreed that the new location allowed for wider exposure, some were nostalgic for the ambiance of the East Campus lawn concerts. “Personally, I liked the neighborhood feel of the East Campus concert,” wrote Harry Davidson, director of DSO, in an 1. hat the new location the concert too inconr the local community

prominent role on campus, and next semester, students will have more chances to tackle similar moral debates in the classroom. Starting this fall, students can apply for the Ethics Certificate Program. Co-directors Peter Euben, professor of political science, and David Wong, professor of philosophy, will select 18 to 20 students to complete the eight-course curriculum. The program—one of three new certificates approved in April—will begin in the spring and will focus on philosophical, practical and religious ethics and ethics in historical and cultural context. “Our goal is to make Peter Euben ethics a cornerstone of the Duke experience,” said Lauren Hunt, assistant director of communications and advancement for the Kenan Institute for Ethics. “The events of the past year have placed additional emphasis on the need for that.” Officials at the Kenan Institute said an increased ethical awareness stemming from the March emergence of rape allegations against members on the 2005-2006 men’s lacrosse team will provide a good chance for students to study moral issues, in both their personal lives and the classroom. “The whole lacrosse episode has been a sort of horrific opportunity,” said Noah Pickus, interim director for the Kenan Institute. “The things that have gone on on campus that have put us in turmoil have not been happy, but they have raised and focused more attention on a range of issues SEE ETHICS ON PAGE 6

The fresh aroma of food, the friendly chatter of students and a few menu changes greeted customers at The Loop when they returned for the fall semester. Since the restaurant began listing calorie content for certain menu items, the Cajun fish wrap has quickly become one of the most popular of The Loop’s “Let There Be Lite” choices. “It’s kind of nice,” sophomore Cathy Zhou said as she sipped the soup she ordered with the wrap. “It feels like I’m healthier.” The Let There Be Lite menu now lists the calorie content for four entrees that contain 10 grams of fat or fewer.

of fat, the Cajun fish wrap reigns over the Lite Menu in high popularity and minimal fat content. Loop employees said they have noticed that both the wrap and the spicy black bean burger—another feature of the Lite Menu—are quickly becoming student favorites. “I like the option of having a healthy meal,” said sophomore Sara Quick. “Some things seem really healthy, but they turn out to be full of fat.” Many students, however, are less focused on calories and more focused on taste. “I’m not really calorie-conscious, because I have a high metabolism,” frequent Loop customer and senior SEE LOOP ON PAGE

Jim Black, the Democratic speaker of the North Carolina House of Representatives, had a rough August. A former Republican legislator pleaded guilty Aug. 1 to charges that he accepted $50,000 to switch parties and keep Black speaker of the house. Eleven days later, Black’s former political director plead no contest to a misdemeanor charge that she broke lobbying law. Within days, two House Democrats called for Black to step down from the speakership. ‘You don’t need an indictment to realize that Jim Black should no longer be the speaker of the North Carolina House,” said Bill Peaslee, chief of staff of the North Carolina Republican Party. “The real question is why Democrat legislators have not removed him as speaker.” Black could not be reached for comment. Some Democrats said they respected the speaker’s role as a power broker, adding that he has been an efficient leader who speeds legislation through the House. “Speaker Black has done an excellent job representing Mecklenburg County and done an enormous amount for the county and the state,” .said Michael Evans, the chair of the Mecklenburg County Democratic Party. “I’ve heard many legislators say that this short session was the most productive session in a number of years.” Some have said that Black—an optometrist from Mecklenburg County—has kept his leadership position because he has been a financial godsend for Democrats.

The Raleigh News & Observer reported that supporters gave the speaker checks with blank payee lines so he could funnel money to legislative allies—a practice of questionable legality according to state election law. “Obviously, with his colleagues in the caucus, he’s very strong,” said Theodore Arrington, the chair of the political science department at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. “With this kind of publicity, any normal speaker would have been tossed out long ago.” Black has also enjoyed strong financial support from his fellow optometrists. Their contributions have drawn scrutiny since he pushed a law through the legislature that requires eye examinations for all North Carolina schoolchildren, drumming up business for himself and his optometric colleagues. Arrington said that the scandals increased the likelihood that Black would lose his seat in this year’s election but added that Black’s Republican opponent, Hal Jordan, suffered from a lack of name recognition and political experience. Arrington and Peaslee both said that the low awareness of state politics among North Carolina voters makes it difficult to predict the fallout of Black’s troubles. “Voters are not very attentive to state politics,” Arrington said. “They’re much more attentive to what happens in Washington and Baghdad than they are to what happens in Raleigh.”

“Many students were willing and offering to help in any way they could,” Wasiolek said. Lt. Sara-Jane Raines, Duke University Police Department administrative services executive officer, said she had not received a report about tailgate as of press time and was not aware of any student misbehavior. The student section of the football stadium was filled with about 2,500 students at Saturday’s game, Moneta estimated. “That’s the biggest crowd I’ve seen since I’ve been at Duke,” he said. “I’ve been pleased with student cooperation, and I was pleased with student support for the

football team.” Wasiolek said several students —particularly some fraternity members—were surprised by how many people gathered in fraternity sections. The members will be having conversations in the future to ensure large groups of students do not congregate, in order to maintain the favorable behavior of this weekend’s activities, she added. Administrators said that to their knowledge, there were no Alcohol Law Enforcement officers present in the Blue Zone or elsewhere on campus Saturday. Students reported that ALE officers were present at various off-campus events this weekend, however. Several people were cited for underage drinking Saturday at Shooters 11, according to student reports. ALE was also present at George’s Garage and Shooters II Friday and Cafe Parizade Thursday. No one was cited at Parizade this weekend, however, said Sean Gannon, one of the managers of the restaurant. It could not be confirmed whether any students were cited at the other clubs. Wasiolek said she was not aware of the off-campus ALE citings.

about how we relate to each other.” Although he emphasized that there is a general ethical mindset on campus, Pickus added that many students interact under a “veneer of civility”—a phenomenon he said has developed in an increasingly diverse society during the past twenty years. “The problem with the civility is that everyone knows what they’re supposed to say,” Pickus said. “The worst thing you could actually do is disagree with somebody publicly, and what we’re trying to do is make that okay.” Euben, who will be teaching the certificate program’s introductory course, called “Living an Ethical Life,” said he will try to accomplish this goal by encouraging discussion and debate in the classroom. “You’ve got to have a level of trust and development of respect —and even for people whose initial points of view you find repulsive,” he said. ‘You really need to have people talk to each other and be able to risk what they believe.” Instead of preaching ethical values, Euben said he will turn aspects of students lives, ranging from drinking to religion, into central topics ofin-class deliberation. ‘You don’t want to beat people over the head,” Euben said, explaining that he wants the course to be focused on discussion instead oflecture. He added that although a limited number of students will be offered spots in the new program, several public discussions and campus-wide forums will be offered throughout the year to encourage more students to contemplate issues of ethical importance. “My sense is that people who need to think hardest about it are the people who are least likely to do so,” Euben said. Senior Jimmy Soni, a former chair of the Honor Council who also designed a Program II Ethics major, said ethics already play a significant role in the lives of students, but that the new program will supplement a traditional liberal arts education. “Students are always having conversations about morals and about ethics,” said Soni, a former Chronicle columnist. “We’re always talking about race and God and sex. What this certificate does is challenge us to take those questions into the classroom.”

The debut of the Loop’s Lite Menu has students questioning why other campus eateries do not offer calorie listings or nutritional information displays. “It would be nice to know what I’m eating exactly—not just calories, but also sugar and fat content,” freshman Debbie Yen said. Despite these student opinions, the University tends not to present calorie content to customers, Director of Dining Services Jim Wulforst said. “We have the information on hand, but we don’t want to present the calorie information as a standard practice,” Wulforst said. “We don’t like to have it in your face.” Displaying nutrition information will not help promote good dieting practices, Franca Alphin, assistant clinical professor and director of health promotion for Duke Student Health, wrote in an e-mail. “We feel very strongly that displaying calories and fat grams is not the most effective way to educate people on how to eat healthy, balanced meals,” Alphin wrote. Some students, however, said they disagree with Duke’s reluctance to display nutritional facts. [The policy] deprives students of the control and the means to actually effect change in their lives,” freshman David Bitner said. “If they don’t give you an idea of portions and what’s used in it, students cannot move in the direction of a healthy enjoyment oflife.” Other students said they support Duke’s choice to not focus on calories in its eateries. “Ignorance is bliss,” said sophomore Sally Liu. “[Knowing the calorie content] would make me feel guilty.” Despite the University’s practice of not displaying nutritional information, The Loop will continue to offer students a choice of fat and calorie contents in the Lite Menu. The Loop Pizza Grill, a chain franchise with a number oflocations in the South, finished rolling out the Lite Menu in all of its locations this year. “

Braley said, though she admits she might not have gotten the full picture of life at Princeton during her visits. She said she feelsDuke is not far behind Princeton. “The academic and career opportunities offered St Duke could certainly compare to those at Princeton,” she said. Sophomore Christine Smith found herself deciding between Duke, MIT and Penn. Though MIT is statistically stronger than Duke, Smith chose to attend Duke. “The people at MIT seemed much more concerned with life after college than actually enjoying their time in college,” Smith said. “Duke students can have fun, but they also know when it’s time to work.” Both Braley and Smith represent a minority of students. Though many top students aim for one of the H-Y-P-S-M schools, they do not have the luxury of choosing between those schools and Duke. For example, sophomore Moses Lee chose to attend Duke over Columbia and Cornell. “The academics at Duke and Columbia seemed pretty even to me,” Lee said. “But I chose Duke because it fit me better Duke’s campus was much nicer, the academics were more flexible. It just seemed easier to have a good time at Duke.” But Duke was not Lee’s first choice Lee, interested in top engineering programs, applied to Stanford and said he “would have probably gone [to Stanford] if he had been taken off the waitlist. Still, Lee said he has few regrets about being at Duke. “I knew Duke was the place for me,” he said. Though many students accepted to other schools do not choose to attend Duke, Guttentag said he feels the University continues to attract the right type of student. “Duke is a special place,” said Guttentag. “There are many students who find it just the right match for them.” —

merited police interference. The administration clearly wants to promote a responsible social scene and a safe environment. However, the ambiguity in the guidelines students must follow in order for tailgate to continue and be considered acceptable is still unsatisfying. Because of the lack of clear expectations, students walked away from the parking lot unaware of the implications of that day’s events on the future of tailgate. According to the most recent feedback, administrators have reacted positively to the outcome of Saturday’s events, noting that no students to their knowledge were cited by ALE officials or taken to the hospital for alcohol-related problems. This bodes well for our next home game.

Bus changes inconvenient for some students Is no one but myself and a handful ofothers a little confused by all the celebration over the debut of the 04 bus route? Why does everyone overlook the not-so-minor detail of Central Campus students having a nearly impossible time of getting to or near East Campus? When I first heard about the 04 (which is an entirely different complaint as there was no official communication to students), I thought it was a great idea since I would be able to get to my classes faster! In Wednesday’s editorial, it was stated that the 04 will allow upperclassmen... to stay connected with their classes, classmates, dining and social life on West.” But the 04 route doesn’t start until 8 p.m. How does that help us stay connected with classes? They’re all over by that time. And what about our social lives? Many of us still frequent areas on or around East Campus some nights. Many student groups meet regularly on East Campus and don’t start or get out until after 8 p.m., so how does this new route only effect a handful of students? Having to change buses to get to our destination is not only a hassle, it could be dangerous. If we’re so concerned with faster travel between East and West, then keep the CI running, but bring back the C-2. Doing that would not reintroduce time delays and hassles for Central Campus students and others traveling that way because they haven’t gone away. “

alumni that would be spending several hours in those lots. In addition, the requests of administrators to diffuse the experience of tailgate by spreading groups out over several lots and demanding students to disperse from large gatherings seems difficult to enforce. How exacdy they plan to maintain their expectations of safety and control is still unknown. Students have demonstrated how much tailgate means to them and their willingness to be relatively cooperative with the administration in order to continue the tradition. The University must be more clear of the terms students must adhere to and perhaps administrators will be surprised what those students are willing to do in order to ensure tailgate’s existence.

Est. 1905

Those most worried about the reaction of the administration to an out-of-control tailgate may have been more willing to appease administrators by responding to requests to disperse or keep the beer bongs at home. However, at some point these considerations will most likely fade. That said, though the University plans to absolve itself of the sponsorship of the event, it must recognize there are other organizational concerns that it still must address. For example, bathrooms and trash cans were scarce in Blue Zone lots. The University is fully aware of the crowds of students that will gather during tailgating events. It should have been better prepared for the needs of the students and

Column suggests binary worldview Andrew Gerst’s Aug. 30, 2006 column Where are the moderate Muslims?” appeared in The Chronicle on the same day as the first class meeting of my graduate seminar on Islam and Modernism. We devoted the second half of the class to discussing the article. Who are the moderate Muslims, those whom Gerst pleads to stand forth in the name ofIslam and break this fortress of lies and hate” that beguile thousands of college-aged Muslims caught in a labyrinth ofradical clerics’ terror propaganda” ? According to Gerst, most are nameless, but in the next to last paragraph he cites three representatives of what he terms moderate Islam.” He also claims that they are virtually un“

“

known.” The first is Azar Nafisi, author of the bestselling Reading Lolita in Tehran, who is at once famous and infamous for her allegiance to Paul Wolfowitz as well as support of a public campaign against the Islamic Republic of Iran. The second is Kamal Nawash, a Republican political candidate from Virginia who appears on Fox News, and whose Free Muslims Coalition Against Terrorism, promotes secularism as the answer to Islamic, and all forms ofreligious, extremism. The third is the Lebanese Sufi Sheikh Hisham Kabbani, whose virulent denunciation of Saudi influence on American mosques and Muslim student associations has itself been denounced by American Muslim leaders, including Imam W. D. Mohammed. In short, far from being unknown, these three examples of what Gerst lauds as moderate Islam” are well known for their stand on behalf of certain political positions that would not be deemed moderate or representative by most Muslims either in the United States or abroad. But even more regrettable is Gerst’s advocacy of a simplistic, binary worldview. He seeks a unified and well-publicized moderate Muslim condemnation of terror,” but by whom on behalf of whom? As more and more mainstream commentators are making clear, there is a huge debate about whether terror is itself a canard that hides the real danger facing Americans and others: the growing asymmetry of resources, education and hope to build a better collective future beyond the ravages of war. As James Fallow argued persuasively in the most recent issue of The Atlantic, we should declare victory against the war on terror, recognizing that al-Qaeda has been severely damaged, its potential for future destruction reduced. Yes, political extremism, of both Islamic and non-Islamic varieties, will persist and annoy Americans as a peripheral threat, but let us get on with the real challenge, in Fallow’s words, of including the people left behind in the process of global development.” A coalition of the bold and the visionary is better than one reinventing religious wars under the guise of a crusade for moderation. “

We claim to hold a higher standard academically for our players than most other

schools, and that this holds us back in terms of recruiting. That is ludicrous. I’m not saying it isn’t true. I’m just saying it’s absurd that we have stricter limitations. Our football players don’t do their own work. Might as well get better players who also don’t do their own work. The difference between a 1,000 on the SAT and a 1,200 is very minimal once you get to Duke. We try to mix our academic image with our sports image, but it just doesn’t work for football. I propose a vote in the matter of Separation ofAcademics and Football. We need to choose one extreme or another. Either we actually try to keep our football team near the same academic caliber as everyone else, or we do the right thing and say F this, let’s win a Sugar Bowl!” It’s amazing that while we’re the only basketball team that’s always on national television, we’re the only football team that never is. I was flipping through the channels the other day and found Florida International vs. Middle Tennessee State on ESPN. We honestly can’t compete with that? I quickly realized that the answer is no, and for one reason. Middle Tennessee State had some smoking hot babes, f sho. If the quality of the football isn’t going to be very good anyway, might as well show “

some half-naked college girls to keep the middle-aged men at home watching. I’ve definitely noticed a correlation between quality of play and the quality of girls in the stands. Seriously, watch any big-time football game on ABC. The better the teams, the hotter/rowdier/more naked the girls. All the more reason to bring back real tailgate. Why would the hot girls go to a crappy football game when they can start pre-gaming for Shooters? Call me crazy, but I think this can be a plausible situation; Larry Moneta takes away tailgate completely for three years, then inexplicably brings it back, new and improved: University sponsored kegs, 10-foot funnels, Duke Police chugging Busch, the works. The sorority girls proceed to get so drunk that they all follow the crowd into the stadium and actually attend the game. The TV cameras get a hold of this and all of a sudden the networks notice the hot girls at the game and begin airing Duke football. The top recruits start to see Duke on TV and realize that it is in fact Division 1. Duke becomes the new hot school for big-time recruits and in five years wins the National Championship. Damn, I knew that Larry Moneta had something up his sleeve!

Big-government conservatism has helped bring some votes to the GOP, particularly in the South. But as Sager writes: It’s not as if the Republican Party could do much better in the South at this point; it’s not really the ideal region to which to pander.” The practical panderer should look West—not to the Coast, which is reliably blue, but to the purple states in the interior. Sager notes that a swing of just 70,000 votes in Colorado, Nevada and New Mexico would have cost Bush the last election, and that he lost ground in the Southwest between 2000 and 2004. The interior West is growing quickly, thanks to refugees from California seeking affordable housing. These Westerners have been voting Republican in presidential elections, but have also gone for Democratic governors. They tend to be economic conservatives and cultural liberals. They’ve legalized medical marijuana in Nevada, Colorado and Montana. They’re more tolerant of homosexuality than Southerners are, and less likely to be religious. They’re suspicious of moralists and of any command from Washington, whether it’s a gun-control law or an educational mandate. In Colorado and Utah, they’ve exempted themselves from No Child Left Behind. They’re small-government conservatives who would have felt at home in the old fiisionist GOP.But now they're up for grabs, just like the party’s principles. “

Though her team had not yet lost a game, head coach Beth Bozman believed her third-ranked squad was not yet playing up to its ability this weekend. But down 2-0 in the second half against No. 12 lowa in lowa City Sunday, the Blue Devils finally started playing the way Bozman had hoped. DUKE Duke (4-0) rallied to win in lOWA overtime, 3-2, the over DUKE Hawkeyes (1-2), two days after KENT ST. rolling over unranked Kent State (04), 6-0, in a game also played on lowa’s home field. “This is the fourth game in a row we haven’t played to our ability,” Bozman said. “It was an eye opener and a check-your-gut kind of game.” It was Duke’s veterans who led the way to Sunday’s victory. Senior Amy Stopford hammered home a deflected shot with four minutes remaining in regulation to even the score at two goals apiece, andjunior goalie Caitlin Williams stopped an lowa penalty corner chance with 10 seconds remaining to send the game into overtime. In the extra period, senior Hilary Linton scored the only goal four minutes in, sending Duke back home with its fourth straight win to open the year. Duke had a couple other opportunities

in overtime, and the Blue Devils controlled the possession for the majority of the second half, Bozman said. “We finally played like we were capable in the second half, and I’m very proud of the way we responded and got into our game,” she said. In the second half, Duke played smarter and more aggressive field hockey, stepping up its press and passing the ball more effectively. Before that, the young Blue Devil team had not moved the ball as effectively as Bozman would have liked, the coach said. “We hadn’t found our groove yet,” Bozman said. “The things that we do so well we hadn’t found yet, and we found it in the second half.” In Saturday’s action, Duke rode Marian Dickinson’s two goals to victory over Kent State. The Blue Devils outshot Kent State, 37-7, but Bozman felt her team was still not as sharp as it could be later in the season. With an important matchup looming later this week against No. 2 Wake Forest a team Duke beat in the 2005 NCAA semifinals—the comeback win over a talented lowa team could pay dividends for the Blue Devils as they look toward league play. “It’s really important that we finally turned it around in the second half and showed ourselves what we are capable of doing,” Bozman said. “The whole experience, coming from behind, turning the game around and winning a game like that will be good for us.” —

TAN/THE CHRONICLE

True freshman Thaddeus Lewis entered the game on Duke's third offensive series. Though he passed for 148 yards, the team was unable to score during the game.

RICHMOND from pageTC PAGE 1 Devils

Sophomore quarterback Marcus Jones hit junior wide receiver Jomar Wright in the flat for a completion. But when Wright turned to run upfield, he was immediately wrapped up and the ball popped out directly into the hands of Richmond linebacker Anthony Dabney. After the recovery and 25-yard return, the Spiders converted a 20-yard field goal on the subsequent possession to take a 3-0 lead with 11:24 left in the Ist quarter. “We spend a lot of time talking about ball security and working on ball security,” Roof said. “We’ve got to take care of the football. We can’t turn it over on a short field. We talked about field positioning and how critical that i5.... That was a mistake that cost us points.” Struggling and juggling between quarterbacks Jones and true freshman Thaddeus Lewis, the offense hardly improved over the next three quarters and could not find any rhythm. As planned, Jones started the first two series—he did not gain a first down—and Lewis took over on the third series. Surprisingly, Lews received the majority of the snaps from there on. Facing tremendous pressure from the Richmond defensive line, which tore apart Duke’s front line, Lewis completed 15-of-24 passes for 148 yards. He was incapable, however, of stringing together a successful drive as the Blue Devils did not generate any points and converted a measly 3-for-14 on third down. “It goes back to not being able to finish drives off in the red zone and our inability to convert on third down,” Roof said. “That was basically the ballgame in a nutshell.” The Blue Devils’ two viable scoring opportunities in the first half culminated in missed field goals. A 42-yard attempt by sophomore kicker Joe Surgan with 14:20 remaining in the second quarter sailed

wide right, and a 43-yard attempt with 40 seconds left in the half was blocked. Injuries in the first half tojunior running backs Justin Boyle and Ronnie Drummer further hindered the anemic offense, forcing sophomore Re’quan Boyette to carry the burden of the load. Duke’s top three backs gained just 54 yards on 17 carries. Roof said losing the running backs altered his team’s gameplan and was unsure, at this time, of the status of his injured

players.

As bleak as the offense looked, the defense kept the Blue Devils in the game, controlling the front and limiting Richmond to one touchdown in the first half. The Spiders went ahead, 10-0, with 10:40 left in the second quarter when junior wideoutAainan Shields caught a pass in the flat from freshman quarterback Eric Ward. Shields capped off the nine-play, 75yard drive by darting into the end zone for a 16-yard touchdown. The defense held strong through the third quarter, enduring one Richmond drive that lasted 9:09. After advancing the ball to the Blue Devil four-yard line from their own 13, the Spiders were unable to punch it into the end zone. The Duke defense forced Richmond to settle for an Andrew Howard 22-yard field goal, setting the score at 13-0 as the third quarter came to a close. “They stayed on the field for awhile, but we fought through,” sophomore linebacker Michael Tauiliili said of the Spiders. “A lot of guys fought through, and we held them to three points.” Down and seemingly out, the Blue Devils’ offense showed signs of life in the waning minutes of the game. Lewis completed 6-of-7 passes—three to wideout Raphael Chestnut—to drive Duke to the Spider two-yard line. Richmond, however, sacked Lewis on fourth down, ending the muchneeded scoring opportunity.

Duke avenges loss to Yale but falls in UConn match by

Lauren

Kobyiarz THE CHRONICLE

The Blue Devils got their revenge on Yale, but the satisfying win was overshadowed by the team’s first loss of the season. No. 12 Duke defeated the No. 23 Bulldogs 3-0 Friday, besting the team that knocked it out of the 2005 Women’s College Cup. Sunday, however, No. 16 Connecdcut handed the DUKE Blue Devils a 2-1 defeat in New Haven, Conn., taking UCONN a first-half lead and never relenting. DUKE The Huskies (2-1-1) YALE scored just over a minute into the game when Meghan Schnur found an opening in Duke’s set defense on a free kick. Schnur received a ground pass from Karyn Riviere and quickly fired a one-touch shot past Duke goalkeeper Cassidy Powers, who was forced to charge the midfielder. “We didn’t mark up our players on the free kick,” head coach Robbie Church said. “The keeper had to come out, and she beat the keeper, and she put it in.” Connecticut gained the deciding advantage in the 25th minute. Brittany Taylor trapped a soaring pass from the opposite side of the field and sent the ball into the back of the net from outside the 18yard box. The Blue Devils (3-1) answered less than six minutes later when junior Lauren Tippets scored off a header. But Duke, plagued by numerous offsides calls, was unable to fully carry out its attack, and nei-

ther team could find the goal for the remainder of the game “I’m very proud of our players —after the second goal, we battled back,” Church said. “We controlled much of the play, but we did not execute very well. We did not have as much focus—you cannot give a good team a two-goal lead. We didn’t perform as well as we’re capable of performing.” The Blue Devils did not have any trouble with offensive execution Friday afternoon. After a scoreless first half, freshman KayAnne Gummersall scored in the 60th minute to put Duke ahead, 1-0. In the game’s final 10 minutes, seniors Rebecca Moros and Darby Kroyer each netted a goal to seal the game. Church said he was happy with the team’s performance against the Bulldogs (0-2) but disappointed with the Blue Devils’ inconsistency across the span of the weekend. “We’re a very good team and we are capable of playing at a very high level,” Church said. “We need to play at that high level all the time.” Duke suffered a similar Sunday letdown last weekend when the team barely escaped Western Carolina, 1-0. The Blue Devils will embark on another Friday-Sunday road weekend in Alabama Sept. 810, and Church said the Blue Devils will work on becoming mentally tougher and improving consistency in practice this week. “We’ve got to do it every day in practice and we’ve got to do it in every game,” Church said. “We’ve got to understand that we are a good team SYLVIA QU/THE CHRONICLE every time we step on the field.

THE CHRONICLE

Although the Blue Devils won two of their three games this weekend, Duke’s sole defeat may have been more important than its pair of wins. Duke started out the weekend perfect. The Blue Devils swept both West Virginia and Eastern Kentucky, 3-0, Friday and Saturday, respectively, to go into the Penn State Classic’s final game on a roll. Duke (5-1), DUKE 0 however, could

against undefeated tournament host Penn State (6-0). The Blue Devils dropped DUKE three straight games to the No. 2 W. VIRGINIA Nittany Lions —a loss which ended Duke’s undefeated season and unblemished weekend. The Blue Devils, however, are using the loss to Penn State as a valuable learning experience against one of the nation’s top teams. “It was a great tournament for us to go to,” head coach Jolene Nagel said. “We got SARAH GUERRERO/THE CHRONICLE to see some good teams and play Penn State—who is currendy ranked No. 2 in the Duke only blocked one shot Sunday against Penn State, while the Nittany Lions tallied 16 team blocks. country.

and setting that block in particular is something I saw following that match—and also our timing and just working hard in the weight room to be as strong as we can be.” Saturday’s battle with Eastern Kentucky (1-4) was composed of three intense, backand-forth games. Each time, the Blue Devils ultimately gained the upperhand to solidify the win. Libero Jenny Shull and setter Ali Hausfeld were named to the Penn State Classic All-Tournament Team for their performances this weekend. Shull anchored the defense with 37 digs over the weekend, while Hausfeld set everything up with 111 assists—including a game-high 41 against Eastern Kentucky. Sophomore Aana Wherry led the team in two consecutive games with 14 digs, and middle blocker Carrie Demange was the team-leader in kills every match for a grand total of 41 over the weekend. Nagel said, however, no one player has stood out in particular for the team. Rather, Duke has been progressing and growing as a team, on and off the field. “I think a lot of people contributed in some great ways,” Nagel said. “I think the team is blending very, very well. And dial’s been a team effort from everybody. I have to give the freshman credit because they are a talented group. And on top of that, the upperclassman have been great about trying to get to know them, trying to help them out—they understand that these players are going to be competitive. “So I think for our second weekend in competition, it’s putting us where we want to be going into our next opportunity to compete out of conference and then into the ACC.”

Duke goes through test by

Duke’s cross country teams got see what their second strings were capable of this weekend at the Wake Forest Relays. The women’s team finished second with a time of 1:50:28, while the men placed fourth in the fourteam competition at 2:24:00. Both Duke squads kept many of their top runners at home and used the event—which Virginia Tech swept—to get younger members of the team some racing experience. “We approached this with a workout intensity, but I saw some positive things,” women’s head coach Kevin Jermyn said. “The fitness level for a few of the girls was better than I might originally have expected.” The race featured a relay format—a setup the Blue Devils will not see again this season. Each competitor ran two alternating legs of 3.7 kilometers for the men, and 2.55 for the women. “Most teams run a lot of freshman, and it’s a good format for bringing them along,” men’s head coach Norm Ogilvie said. “The longest most kids run in high school is 5K This is 7K, but it’s broken up into two legs, so he to

haS time to recover.” Senior Emily McCabe led the Blue Devils, placing third individually with a time of 17:12. McCabe and sophomore Maddie McKeever combined for a time of 34:53, which was good enough for second overall. They were followed closely by the pair of sophomores Molly Lehman and Patricia Loughlin, which placed seventh. On the men’s side, senior Alex Romero recorded Duke’s best individual performance, finishing his two splits in 23:11. Freshman James Osborne and senior Pat Parish combined for the best pair time at 46:24. Ogilvie said he was pleased with the trio’s showing, indicating that they could factor into the first group of runners. “We’ve got 14 guys that could end up in our top seven by the end of the season,” Ogilvie said. ‘We don’t need to decide that right now, but I’m very happy with our depth at this point.” Both the men’s and women’s teams will have their top squads on display when they travel to the James Madison Invitational Sept. 16. “We still have a lot of work to get done,” Jermyn said. “We’ll LEAH BUESO/THE CHRONICLE have a much better idea of where we stand as a team in two weeks.” The women's cross country team placed second in theWake Forest Relays as many young runners were able to gain experience.
