The Cameron Crazies could hardly ask for a better regular-season debut. They got their spot back in the front row. Sophomore COLUMBIA i 43 point guard Greg DUKE 86 Paulus returned from his preseason injury. And the Blue Devils crushed Columbia. Duke (1-0) was dominant throughout the opening game of the College Basketball Experience, cruising to an easy 8643 win over Columbia (0-1) at home. Four different players scored in double digits for Duke as head coach Mike Krzyzewski used a 10-man rotation throughout the game to pressure the Lions and match the size of their lineup. “We won big because everybody who came in the game for us played hard,” Krzyzewski said. “I was particularly pleased with our three veterans—Josh [Mcßoberts], DeMarcus [Nelson] and Greg.” Duke will take on Georgia Southern (10) —who defeated the University of California-Davis, 116-73, earlier Sunday—in the tournament’s second round tonight at 7 p.m. at Cameron. The Blue Devils got out to a quick start in the first half when Jon Scheyer hit a three-pointer from the left wing on Duke’s second possession of the game. DeMarcus Nelson followed it up with a steal and fast break layup. Two plays later, Paulus stole the ball and found Nelson on a no-look pass for an electrifying one-handed dunk and a 7-3 lead. “It pretty much started for us on defense early on,” Nelson said. “We got some contested steals, grabbed some defensive rebounds and we were able to get in transition to get some early layups and let guys

McCain takes steps to prez run

Relatives attend Flight 587 ceremony by

Jennifer Peltz

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Hundreds of relatives NEW YORK and friends of the victims in the nation’s second deadliest air accident dedicated a much-awaited memorial Sunday with mementoes and mixed emotions. Wearing their loss on T-shirts, scarves and buttons, families clutching red roses and photographs gathered on a foggy beachfront to look up the names of 265 loved ones killed when American Airlines Flight 587 crashed five years ago. “It’s something that we can come to and pray,” said Ana Lora, who placed a model car near the name of her brother, Jose

Francisco Lora, who collected cars. “This is something that, really, we need.” The memorial marks years of effort to create a tangible remembrance of the crash, which killed all 260 people on board and another five in the quiet Queens neighborhood where the jet fell. The National Transportation Safety Board eventually determined that the tail of the Airbus A3OO had fallen off, and the agency blamed pilot error, inadequate pilot training and overly sensitive rudder controls. The disaster jarred a city still raw and fearful after the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center two months before. The loss was also felt heavily in the Domini-

can Republic, where Flight 587 was bound from John F. Kennedy International Airport. Many passengers were of Dominican heritage. Designed by a Dominican artist, the $9.2 million memorial is a curved wall inscribed with the names of the dead. Cutouts, where weeping relatives placed roses, wreaths and photographs, provide a view of the sea. ‘Your ideas and your memories have been woven into it,” Mayor Michael Bloomberg told those gathered Sunday. After the city-sponsored ceremony, mourners flocked to an impromptu memorial around a tree at the crash site.

Iraqi P.M. pledges Cabinet shakeup by

Steven Hurst

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The Shiite prime BAGHDAD, Iraq minister promised Sunday to reshuffle his Cabinet after calling lawmakers disloyal and blaming Sunni Muslims for raging sectarian violence that claimed at least 159 more lives, including 35 men blown apart while waiting to join Iraq’s police force. Among the unusually high number of dead were 50 bodies found behind a regional electrical company in Baqouba, 35 miles northeast of Baghdad, and 25 others found scattered throughout the capital. Three U.S. troops were reported killed, as

were four British service members Also Sunday, the country’s Sunni defense minister challenged Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki’s contention that the U.S. military should quickly pull back into bases and let the Iraqi army take control of secu-

rity countrywide. Defense Minister Abdul-Qadir al-Obaidi rejected calls by al-Maliki for the U.S. military to speed transfer of security operations throughout the country to the Iraqi army, saying his men still were too poorly equipped and trained to do the job. “We are working hard to create a real army and we ask our government not to

try to move too quickly because of the political pressure it feels. Our technical needs are real and that is very important, if we are to be a real force against insecurity,” al-Obaidi said. Al-Maliki wants the Americans confined to bases for him to call on in emergencies, but he boldly predicted his army could crush violence within six months if left alone to do the work. The top U.S. commander in Iraq, Gen. George Casey, last month said it would take 12 to 18 months before Iraq’s army was ready to take control of the country with some U.S. backup.

Republican Sen. John McCain said Sunday he is taking the initial steps for a White House bid in 2008, setting up a committee that allows a potential candidate to raise money and travel the country to gauge support.

Fidel dying, U.S. officials say The government believes Fidel Castro's health is deteriorating and that the Cuban dictator is unlikely to live through 2007. That dire view was reinforced last week when Cuba's foreign minister backed away from his prediction that the ailing Castro would return to power by early December.

Bush to welcome Denis' ideas Responding to a humbling election, White House aides said Sunday that President Bush would welcome new ideas about the unpopular war in Iraq, even from Democrats he had branded as soft on terrorism.

Afghanistan violence rising Insurgent activity in Afghanistan has risen fourfold this year, and militants now launch more than 600 attacks a month, a rising wave of violence that has resulted in 3,700 deaths in 2006, a bleak new report released Sunday by an international monitoring body found.

Media panel reacts to midterm election by

Taylor Spragens THE CHRONICLE

Journalists from Time Magazine, CNN and ABC discussed the impact of the midterm election results on the 2008 presidential election Saturday afternoon at the Sanford Institute ofPublic Policy. All three panelists said the election was a major turning point for the George W. Bush administration and highlighted Iraq as the central issue of the midterm. “I don’t think this was about anything but the Iraq War,” said panelist Mike Halperin, ABC News political director and news correspondent. The panel also consisted of Time correspondent Mike Allen and CNN Senior Political Analyst Bill Schneider. The discussion was moderated by Ellen Mickiewicz, director of the Dewitt Wallace Center for Communications and Journalism.

Halperin, the first panelist to speak, said America is a very polarized country and that the new Democratic majority in the House and Senate is a “huge deal.” “The Democrats are in a win-win situation,” Halperin said. He added that the next two years would be a chance to see whether the Republicans and Democrats really want to work together. Addressing Bush’s agenda for the rest of his presidency, Halperin said moderation was the only chance to get anything done. “[Bush] can’t get his conservative agenda done: That’s dead,” he said. Allen, the second speaker, recounted his experience covering election night from the White House. “The President found out the reality of what he was confronting at 8 p.m. on election night,” Allen said. “I think that SEE PANEL ON PAGE 8

Duke has the third-highest percentage of black freshmen among the nation’s top schools, a survey in the forthcoming issue of the Journal of Blacks in Higher Education found. Black students comprise 9.5 percent of the Class of 2010, a percentage identical to last year and one that places Duke behind only the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Stanford University. The article examines the top 30 schools in U.S. News and World Report magazine’s annual rankings. Duke was first in 2004 and fourth in 2005 according to the annual JBHE survey. “We’re very proud of [the ranking],” said Provost Peter Lange. “I’m pleased with it because it affirms what we’re doing, which is our continuing commitment to having a diverse student body, including a large number ofAfrican Americans.” According to JBHE, one-third of the black students Duke accepts enroll at the school. Slightly more than a quarter of black applicants are admitted. “One of the things the study points out is that there still aren’t enough people who realize how diverse a place Duke is compared to our peers,” said Dean of Undergraduate Admissions Christoph Guttentag. Senior Malik Burnett, Black Student Alliance president, said the findings were positive but added that the University should not become complacent with its consistently high ranking. Burnett attributed Duke’s high matriculation rate among black applicants in part SEE FRESHMEN ON PAGE 6

Since its inception in Fall 2003, the Policy Journalism and Media Studies Certificate has expanded dramatically, resulting in the expansion of the core course and other classes in the program for Spring 2007 to accommodate all the certificate’s graduating seniors. In four years, the certificate program has grown from approximately 10 graduating seniors to a projected number of nearly 35. But the increase in students in the program is not due to a greater number of students interested in journalism, said Ken Rogerson, research director for the DeWitt Wallace Center for Media and Democracy and a research associate in public policy. Rogerson said there has always been an interest in media studies at Duke, to which the certificate now responds and gains in popularity as more students learn about the program. “Students can have a line on their transcript that says, ‘I did something in journal-

TOMMY'S from page 1 Alcohol distribution at the restaurant has been a point of controversy, since Larry Moneta, vice president for student affairs, overruled plans for a 10-foot beer bar in October. The University anticipates receiving the beer license soon, said Jim Wulforst, director of dining services. “Since we had one before, it’s not a big deal,” he said. The late opening of the restaurant originally slated to open in September was not due to the change of plans regarding the bar, Meyer said. “The delay comes in just the time it takes and the permitting process that happens with the city,” he said, adding that permanent cabinets, table tops and kitchen equipment are currently being constructed off-site. Wulforst said he and Meyer decided less than two weeks ago to open without renovations,, and approval from the state —

Health Department came on Thursday. “I’m just anxious about being criticized for not having a dining operation open [earlier],” Wulforst said. “We felt that we could do a reasonably good Job even without the renovations.” He added that Tommy’s is opening “under the radar” because Meyer needs time to train his 15-person staff and work through the opening kinks. “I have a lot offaith in Tom and his ability to react to what students are looking for,” Wulforst said. Meyer confirmed that he will be on-site everyday for the first month to get student feedback, experiment with the menu and prepare the restaurant in anticipation of its grand opening in January. “If there are things we need to change, I have a whole month to make it right,” he said. Tommy’s will be open from 5 p.m. until 12 a.m. Monday through Wednesday, with hours extended until 3 a.m. Thursday through Saturday. The restaurant will close Sundays at 10 p.m.

“The excepdonal skill of Thrus Morton and the investment team he has led over the past six years has made possible the new programs and growth of the University, by providing the financial foundation that underlies our strategic ambitions,” President Richard Brodhead said in a statement.

During the past 10 years, the 16.3 percent rate of return on DUMAC’s investments placed Duke second behind Yale

University among the nation’s 50 largest colleges and universities.

A 20.2 percent rate of return in the 2006 fiscal year placed the University third behind the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Yale.

capture the best of what we can know and what we can do, but can also shine a light that will be seen everywhere in the world and create a mass movement of change,” Sachs said. Using examples from his recent trip to Africa, Sachs said “extreme poverty means that you do not have assurance of the basic needs to survive day to day, that basic life is a daily struggle.” But he added that poverty is not impossible to overcome. Pointing to East Asia and India, Sachs said the difference between extreme poverty and rapid development is a “very small gap.” “If people stuck in extreme poverty can be empowered to rise above that level for investment, then we will see that the positive side of globalization can carry us to where we need to go —a world where no

one is facing this crisis,” Sachs said. Describing poverty as “anachronistic,” Sachs pointed out that poor regions still suffer from diseases that are curable like malaria. “Two million children will die of [malaria], yet it is 100 percent treatable for $1 of medicine,” Sachs said. “[lt is] a disease where we have brilliant science, which could save millions of lives, but it doesn’t reach the poor because... they don’t have access to it.” , A self-described optimist, Sachs lauded the Millennium Village program and encouraged students to get involved. By maintaining regular contact and advising the villagers on issues such as agriculture, disease control and communication, the Millennium Village Project aims to eliminate extreme poverty. “By helping them with some basic tools, you will see a transformation, you will see even in one year the amazing things that can be accomplished,” Sachs said. “We

We need to show the world what Duke, UNC and Bennett College can do.” Chris Conover, assistant research professor at the Center for Health Policy, said he saw the student-led initiative to end extreme poverty as unique and full of potential. “I think that it’s an interesting idea to have a student-led initiative, and I was intrigued with what he said they-we re able to do within a year,” Conover said. Attendees said Sachs’ ability to reach out to his audience, along with his emphasis on the collective force of ideas, was inspiring. “I think that he geared the speech really well to his audience and he really spoke on the point of empowerment,” sophomore Samantha Fahrbach said. “Even though we’re no government and we don’t have our own money, the power of ideas is invaluable.”

RADIATION

from page 5

Yin added that although IGRT and IMRT can treat all cancers, they are more critical in treating tumors localized in the body, such as the prostate, spine, nerve and liver. “If you have a tumor in the mouth or the back of the throat, radiation therapy may result in a dry mouth. The IMRT, however, enables us to spare the glands that make spit,” Marks said. “In prostate cancer, we’re able to reduce doses to the rectum, reducing bleeding.” IMRT and IGRT are both very expensive and complicated procedures, and they are not appropriate for every case because they require the effort of a team of workers made up of physicians, technicians, physicists and dosimetrists, he said. “There used to be three to four radiation fields. Now there are 10 radiation fields, which are then broken down into hundreds of tiny fields so that when the radiation beam is given, different doses are targeted at different pieces of the tumor,” Marks said.

JOURNALISM from page 4 public policy studies, said he began to teach two sections of PPS 118S, the basic TV news course, this year. “Both classes are filled because of the demand,” he wrote in an e-mail. The DeWitt Wallace Center houses the certificate, which was started as a result of student interest in journalism and media studies, Rogerson said. Nonjoumalism majors have recendy become highly competidve in the media world. Rogerson said journalism organizations like hiring people who have not majored in journalism because they have a different area of expertise. “Duke is a traditional liberal arts school,” he said. “Journalism wasn’t here [before] because it was a vocation. Recently it has become a career, not just a vocation.” Dancy accounted for the increased student interest by citing the trend that more students are aware of media in their own lives and the importance it has for Americans. “Some [students] are interested in media as a career,”

he said, “Others are public policy majors who understand that they may need to know how and why the media operate as they do.” Fisher, an English major and political science minor, said she originally wanted to major in journalism but discovered that the University does not offer the major. She said she learned about the certificate program while registering for classes and decided to add it to her course load after hearing positive feedback from upperclassmen already in the program. does a good job of filling the void in opportunities for people interested in communications,” Fisher said. “It opens a lot of doors because it requires an

internship.” Although Fisher said she is not sure if she wants to pursue a career in journalism, she believes that the certificate courses have been the most fulfilling aspects of her Duke education. “By writing feature articles [for a magazine journalism course], I could be engaged in the Durham community,” Fisher said. “I lost the Duke bubble I had been in for my first two years here.”

PANEL from page 3 [Republicans] believed things were going to be better than they were.” Allen said the announcement of Rumsfield’s resignation symbolizes the president’s willingness to cooperate with the new Democrat-controlled Congress. He said jokingly that the president guarantees at least three weeks of bipartisan talks, but followed with a more serious note, adding that both Republicans and Democrats have an incentive to work together. Schneider said the midterm election put to rest the theory that politics is about mobilizing your base. “The center lives. They’re back and they drove the outcome of the midterm elections,” he said. The outcome was evidence that the Republicans had lost the middle, Schneider added. Schneider said the midterms were unusual because many voters voted for a party as opposed to a candidate. He cited the defeat of Rhode Island Republican Senator Lincoln Chafee as an example. Schneider said even though 63 percent of those polled in Rhode Island approved of the job Chafee was doing, he was voted out due to the 75 percent of Rhode Island residents who disapproved of the job the president is doing. Schneider also focused on the importance of the centrist and swing voters in this election. He said Arnold Schwarzenegger was re-elected easily due to his success with voters registered as Independents. “Schwarzenegger is now thriving and Bush is a lame duck,” Schneider said.

THANKSGIVING converse about Thanksgiving traditions and cultural

backgrounds.

“I can’t remember not celebrating Thanksgiving,” said Marcus Darrabie, a fourth-year medical student. Darrabie, originally from Trinidad, said many participants celebrate Thanksgiving in ways considered American, with subtle differences. “We’re making the foods in the Trinidad style, but we’re still making the turkey and stuff,” he said. Although they came from many different backgrounds, participants compared their various traditions for the holiday, from sharing stories and dancing to laughing together and playing spades. They also said they were all thankful for friends, family and loved ones, as well as opportunity. “I’m thankful to be graduating from Duke University,” senior Gabrielle McCoy said. About 100 attendees dug into fried bananas, jolof, turkey, sugary “puff-puff’ and Zimbabwe-style chicken, among other dishes. Members discussed the fact that although the food they ate on Thanksgiving might not be considered average, the holiday was nonetheless a time when all cultures could celebrate one thing—food. “I’m here to mingle with other students, take a study break and just fellowship,” said Lettye Smith, a third-year divinity student.

Duke exits College Cup after losing shootout by

Lauren

Kobylarz THE CHRONICLE

Duke played 220 minutes of soccer this weekend, but both ofits games were decided by a single shot. Scoreless play marked the Blue Devils’ NCAA College Cup matches this DUKE weekend through TENN two sets of double overtime periDUKE ods—until both L'VILLE games went into penalty kicks. Advancing after a first-round 6-5 win over No. 22 Louisville Friday, the Blue Devils (9-8-4) fell 4-3 in overtime penalty kicks Sunday to 23rd-ranked Tennessee (12-6-4) in the second round of the College Cup in Knoxville, Tenn. The loss marks the end of Duke’s up-and-down season. “They laid everything out there on the field,” head coach Robbie Church said. “Theyjust know that when you get down to penalty shots anything can happen. And that’s what happened—Friday night we advanced and today we didn’t.” Against Tennessee, Duke utilized the same lineup for penalty kicks that went 5-5 against Louisville Friday before freshman CJ Ludemann scored the goal that put the Blue Devils ahead, 6-5. Junior Darby Kroyer started off Duke’s penalty shots against Tennessee, but Lady Vol goalkeeper Jaimel Johnson stopped her strike. Tennessee connected on its first

penalty kick, and freshman Elisabeth Red-

mond found the net on Duke’s second chance. The Lady Vols missed their second shot to knot the score at 1-1. Sophomore Christie McDonald’s shot went wide on Duke’s third chance, and Tennessee scored on its next attempt to put the Lady Vols ahead, 2-1. Duke and Tennessee both made their remaining two penalty kicks. “It was a huge advantage for them when Jaimel stopped that [first] penalty kick,” Duke goalkeeper Allison Lipsher said. “It certainly got the momentum going a little bit. It made it a tough shootout for us. I’m really proud of everyone. We’ve been practicing penalty kicks and everyone came through when we needed them to. I think that was about as good as we could have done.” Outstanding play from Lipsher, who made a career-high 11 saves in the match, buoyed the Blue Devils’ defense while the offense fought to create scoring opportunities. Duke, which received an at-large bid to the College Cup after a first-round loss to Florida State in the ACC tournament, outshot the Lady Vols 8-1 in overtime. Church said his team created several quality scoring chances but could not capitalize —a problem the team encountered all season. “We came together for the second season and played with heart and as a team,” freshman forward Kay Anne Gummersall said. “It just hurts so much to go out this way. Tennessee played a great game. We

To go to a shootout hurts just so much more.” The loss marked the end of Duke’s run in the tournament as well as the final match ofits season. Sunday was the second time the Blue Devils needed penalty kicks to decide a match against Tennessee in the College Cup—Duke advanced in the first

round of the tournament over the Lady Vols, 4-2, in 2001. “We played at a very high level,” head coach Robbie Church said. “For us to travel to Tennessee and play them on their home field in front of their home crowd —I can’t say how proud I am of our team. Of course we’d like to go to Chapel Hill, but we’re going home with our heads held high.”

Sophomore hitter Sue Carls led Duke's attack against Maryland with a career-high 17 kills. Hunkus and Rachael Moss followed with 16, 12 and 10, respectively. Libero Jenny Shull had a tremendous night on the defensive end with 17 digs, bringing her season total to 505 and advancing her to number three on Duke’s all-time dig list with 1,457 in her career. In Boston Sunday, the Blue Devils took a little time to get going in the close, 3026 game one victory. Once Duke did find its groove, however, there was no stopping the Blue Devils as they blew out the Eagles 30-19 and 30-11 in games two and three to secure the match victory. “We started off a little slow again,” Nagel said. “But then we settled down some and relaxed, and then we kicked into gear and then just seemed to get better as the match went on.” DeMange slammed down a team-high

The men’s and women’s cross country traveled to the Southeast Regional Cross Country Championships in Louisville, Ky. Saturday with their postseason fates on the line. The 14th-ranked women’s team added to its recent string of strong performances with a second place finish to No. 2 N.C. State. With that finish, the women earned an automatic berth to the NCAA Championships Nov. 20. “We put forth our best effort of the season, and we were really thrilled with the results,” head coach Kevin Jermyn said. “We’re in the position I hoped we’d be in going into the last weekend of the year.” Senior Emily McCabe and sophomore Maddie McKeever once again led the Blue Devils, finishing third and fourth overall. But it was freshmanKate Van Buskirk who turned in the performance of the day. “Kate’s improvement from the ACC Championships two weeks ago was the biggest on the team,” Jermyn said. “Her performance helped us close the gap on N.C. State significandy over the last two weeks.” Van Buskirk’s 18th-place finish was a 12 spot jump from her performance in the ACC Championships. Her improvement helped pull the Blue Devils to within nine points of the Wolfpack. The women hope to narrow the gap on the top teams even more when they compete at the NCAA Championships. “Everyone is training to peak this weekend, and it will be the focal point of the whole year,” Jermyn said. “We want to see if we can place among the top-10 teams nationally.” The men were not able to match the women’s success Saturday. They finished

15 kills off of Ali Hausfeld’s 33 assists in the match. Sophomore Aana Wherry added three service aces, while Shull aced three of her own serves and anchored the defense with 12 digs. Midway through their four-game road stretch, the pair of wins this weekend will be motivation for Duke as it travels to Virginia at the end of this week to take on Virginia and Virginia Tech. Virginia, which is currently second in the ACC, will challenge the Blue Devils for the top spot in the conference. “We’ve got half of it done, then we’re going to catch our breath, then we’re going to go at it again for Thursday and Friday,” Nagel said. “It just gives us a little encouragement and motivation to continue to get done what we need to get done for next weekend.”

With the two victories, Duke is halfway through an important road stretch of four games in eight days that accounts for four of its last six games of the season. “We’re really happy to get two wins on the road in the ACC and come home with that as we wind down the regular season,” head coach Jolene Nagel said. “We’re really excited. These road trips are not easy.... Being able to get those wins on the road just makes the travel not so bad.” Against Maryland Friday, Duke fell behind in game one. With the score at 27-14 in the Terrapins’ favor, the Blue Devils went on a powerful 12-2 run to close the gap before the Terrapins held on for the 30-26 game win. The run was not in vain as Duke carried over the momentum to handily defeat the Terrapins in games two and three.

There are few things that a basketball player can experience that are as memorable as playing against Duke in front of a packed crowd at Cameron Indoor Stadium. So Georgia Southern's players are relishing tonight's opportunity to soak up the atmosphere during the team's matchup with the Blue Devils in the second round of the CBE Classic. "Maybe if we play the Lakers or something, but this is a once in a lifetime opportunity," Georgia Southern's Louis Graham said of anything that might compare to the experience he and his teammates will have tonight. "You just make the best of it. These are one of the games that you tell your kids, 'I played in Cameron Indoor Stadium against Coach K.'" The Eagles (1-0) earned the right to face Duke by soundly defeating California-Davis, 116-73, Sunday. Led by senior Donte Gennie and Graham, who scored 26 and 20 points, respectively, Georgia Southern attempted a staggering 92 shots and recorded 65 rebounds in a fast-tempo game against the Aggies. Tonight, however, the Eagles, who finished last season 2010, are hoping to just make a strong showing, their coach said. "The biggest key of the game tomorrow night, obviously outside of executing and everything, is just to keep our poise," Georgia Southern head coach Jeff Price said. "If you can stay together, I think, in this environment and keep your poise and not let them get to you too much, you might have a chance to hang in there." Mike Van Pelt

after halftime Duke scored 15 unanswered points in the first five minutes of the second half, with freshman Bridgette Mitchell scoring six of her 18 total points in that interval. The Huskies eventually answered Duke’s offensive surge, but the Blue Devils were already out of reach. During the second half, Duke’s shooting improved dramatically —the team hit half ofits attempts from three-point range —and it outscored the Huskies, 59-27. “We played better in the second half,” head coach Gail Goestenkors said. “In the first half we were just missing wide open shots.” Missed layups plagued the Blue Devils the first half, as the team only shot 36.8 in percent from the field in the period. In only the second-ever matchup in the two schools’ history, the Huskies played aggressively from the start and forced a series of Duke mistakes. “They came out ready to play, and they weren’t intimidated,” Goestenkors said. “I was disappointed in our first-half effort, really on both ends of the floor.” With its scoring woes limiting the team

just 43 first-half points, Duke relied on its defensive pressure to prevent the Huskies from keeping the contest close. The Blue Devils forced 20 Northeastern turnovers in the first half, converting them into 18 points. “We’re always going to rely on our defense,” Goestenkors said. “Getting those steals, getting on the fast break... that’s the style that our team really enjoys, and the crowd loves it as well.” Duke’s offensive efforts were anchored by 16-point performances from sophomores Carrem Gay and Abby Waner. After sitting out portions of last season due to injuries, Gay has fully recovered. Her 16 points were a career high, and she also added six rebounds and two steals in the game. The second half also saw more playing time from the bench, which had a total of 28 minutes on the court in the first half. The opportunity allowed for more scoring chances, with Mitchell, Joy Cheek and Brittany Mitch scoring 18, 12 and 10 points, respectively. After earning two straight double-doubles in the exhibition games, senior Alison Bales could not break double digits in points against Northeastern’s aggressive interior defense. Goestenkors said Bales’ performance was not indicative of the senior’s previous play. “We took time with our post players- before this game and told them they have to be more aggressive,” Northeastern head coach Daynia La-Force Mann said. “They have to stay active around Bales.” The Blue Devils will continue their season against Marist November 17 at 7 p.m. in Cameron Indoor Stadium. to

Kevin Patterson scored on a 48-yard interception return and No. 18 Wake Forest become the first team to shutoutthe Seminoles at Doak Campbell Stadium in Bobby Bowden's 31 seasons as coach. The resurgent Demon Deacons (5-1 in the ACC) improved to 9-1 for the first time in school history with their first win over Florida State in 33 years. Wake Forest last won in Tallahassee in 1959. The struggling Seminoles (5-5,3-5), meanwhile, hit a new low. Florida State hadn't been shut out since in 232 games, dating back to the 1988 opener at Miami. Wake Forest can earn a spot in next month's conference championship game with wins over Virginia Tech and Maryland.

GA. TECH 7 -UNCO Even on a bad day, Georgia Tech was good enough to clinch a spot in the Atlantic Coast Conference championship game. Tashard Choice ran for 119 yards and a second-quarter touchdown helped the Yellow Jackets wrap up the Coastal Division. GeorgiaTech (8-2,6-1) will face the Atlantic Division winner in the league's second title game in Jacksonville, Fla., on Dec. 2. North Carolina falls to 1-9 overall and 0-6 in conference play.

MARYLAND 14 MIAMII3 ■

Bryan Pata would have been proud. Playing five days after the shooting death of their senior leader, emotionally drained Miami played valiantly before losing. Miami fell behind 14-0 early in the second quarter, then fought back behind a determined defense and the prowess of backup quarterback Kirby Freeman, making his first career start in place of injured starter Kyle

Wright.

But Maryland (8-2,5-1) held on for its fifth straight win despite making only six first downs. It was the third straight loss for Miami (5-5,2-4), all to ranked opponents. The Hurricanes haven't lost three in a row since 1999.

CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. With a chance to tie the game and stun the boisterous crowd in attendance early in the third quarter Saturday night, Duke faced fourthand-inches on the Boston College goal line. The Blue Devils’ quarterback sneak failed, however, and the Eagles then marched 97 yards down the field on the ensuing possession to take a two-touchdown lead. No. 22 Boston College (8-2, 4-2 in the ACC) tacked on another score in the fourth quarter, and Duke (0-10, 0-6) never recovered from the dramatic turn of events, losing 28-7 to extend the nation’s longest losing streak to 18 games. ‘You like to think you can get six inches, but we didn’t, and as a result of that they took it the length of the field, which was a huge momentum swing in the football game,” head coach Ted Roof said. “So instead of looking at a tie ball game, we’re looking at being down two scores, and I thought that was the biggest exchange of the game.” Senior cornerback John Talley intercepted Boston College quarterback Matt Ryan on the first drive of the second half, giving Duke the chance to grab hold of the game’s momentum. Starting with the ball on the Eagles’ 27yard line trailing, 14-7, Duke handed the ball off to Re’quan Boyette for a short gain and then completed a 13-yard pass to Raphael Chestnut. On first-and-10 from the Boston College 11-yard line, Boyette rushed the ball up the middle for five yards before Clifford Harris lost three yards on second down. Then, quarterback Thaddeus Lewis connected on a pass to fullback Brandon King for seven yards, setting up the fourth-and-short situation. Roof elected to leave the ball in Lewis’ hands, but the quarterback’s knee touched the ground before he was able to stretch out, and the Eagles took over on downs. “They got good push up front,” Lewis said. “I tried to go behind my center and their dude jumped over the pile and grabbed me. It was a good play by a BC

player.”

Duke's offense had success at times, but it could not take advantage of several opportunities in the red zone. three, Duke’s defense still had a chance to come up with a quick stop and give the offense good field position again. Senior Jeramy Edwards took downAndre Callendar in the backfield, but the junior tailback’s forward progress prevented the safety. On the next snap, Boston College completed a 20yard pass to Ryan Purvis, and 10 plays later, Callendar scored on a 26-yard touchdown scamper to cap the game-changing drive. “If nothing else, if you didn’t punch it in, you’d like to get a stop and gain some field position, but we didn’t do that either,” Roof said. The Blue Devils struggled defending the run all night, as two Eagles ran for more than 100 yards. The secondary did not perform much better, surrendering 260 yards through the air. Boston College’s 501 total yards of offense was the second-most allowed by Duke this season, and it was the third straight game in which the Blue Devils’ opponent tallied at least 450 yards of offense. “I think B.C. is the 22nd-ranked football team in the country for a reason,” Roof said. “We knew that coming in that they’re a very good football team, they’re physical.

The play, which was Duke’s longest from scrimmage this season, set up his one-yard touchdown run two plays later that tied the game at seven. Harris and Boyette combined for 97 of the Blue Devils’ 170 rushing yards during the game. Still, Duke only managed to put points on the board during one ofits three trips into the red zone and continued to struggle converting on fourth down. “We know we can move the ball down the field,” Harris said. “It’s just finishing the drives and that’s a thing we’ve had a problem with all season.

At the end of the game, the job that the Eagles’ offensive line and running backs did on the Blue Devils was clear. Whitworth and Andre Callendar both finished with over 100 yards—the first BC teammates to do that since 2000—and the Eagles racked up 241 yards on the ground. That number would have been higher if not for a 21-yard loss on a sack late in the fourth quarter.

out of the shadow of their own goal posts, the Eagles started pounding yards out on the ground. Callendar rushed for nine and 10 yards on back-to-back plays, and then, after an incomplete pass, 12 more into Duke territory. At that point, the Blue Devils could forget about salvaging good field posidon. Five plays later, the Eagles went back to Callendar, who ran through an enormous hole on the left side, cut back to force a missed tackle at the seven-yard line and dove into the end zone to complete the 26-yard touchdown run. “They’re a good running team,” linebacker Mike Tauiliili said. “They’ve got two quality backs.... We messed up a couple fits and things like that, but they just did what they did, and that’s what they do is run, and they did a good job of it.” BC’s 241 yards on the ground were the second most Duke has allowed all season —it let up 435 against Navy Nov. 4 and highlight an emerging trend. Since holding Miami to just 30 yards rushing Oct. 21, the Blue Devils have yielded 235 yards or more to each of their last three opponents. Before that Miami game, no team had run for more than 157 yards against the Blue Devils’ defense. Even though BC is known for its punishing ground attack and Duke’s big, but young defensive linemen sometimes seemed over-matched by the Eagles’ experienced behemoths, Roof and Tauiliili both said the Blue Devils’ missed tackles were a major part of the problem. “It always hurts when you miss a tackle... especially when it’s you, you feel like you’re letting the team down,” Tauiliili said. “That’s why we preach, ‘Always run to the ball.’ Never assume that they’re going to make it.” To their credit, the Blue Devils did run to the ball, hustling after the BC running backs when they broke out into the clear, but they often could not make the stop until the play had gained nearly 10 yards. “We made some plays but we also missed some tackles,” Roof said. “And as a result of that we allowed some yardage.”

It was a weekend of ups and downs for the Blue Devils. Duke split up its grapplers into starters, who faced off at three dual meets, and backups and redshirts, who wrestled at the Pembroke Open. The team had a tournament winner at Pembroke but at the same time lost a starter to an injury in one of the dual meets Head coach Clar Anderson led his team into dual meets Saturday against Newberry, Gardner-Webb and Wagner expecting to win, even though all three opponents have Divison II or Junior College All-Americans on their rosters. But early on, things didn’t go exacdy as planned. “The design for these [dual meets] was to get experience,” Anderson said. “We fully expected to win all three matches.” In the first meet against Newberry, sophomore Mike Toomey, wresding in the heavyweight class, hurt his shoulder in the middle of his match. Inhibited by the injury, Toomey was pinned and it cost Duke the first meet. Duke ended up forfeiting the heavyweight class for the next two meets, but it did not cause as much trouble as Anderson originally thought it might, as the Blue Devils managed to come away with wins in both. “We rebounded—we beat Wagner soundly, we beat Gardner-Webb soundly,” Anderson said. “It was frustrating and disappointing that we lost to Newberry because of injury.” Despite the setbacks, there was a bright side to Duke’s weekend. Konrad Dudziak, a sophomore who is redshirting to train in hopes of making the Polish national team in time for the 2008 Olympics, took first place at the Pembroke Open. Anderson said he was impressed by Dudziak’s tournament victory, which included a win over a nationally-ranked wrestler from UNCGreensboro. Anderson’s confidence in his team’s ability to compete in the ACC and nationally has not been diminished, and he believes that, besides injury, his team is in good shape. “I was pleased with our performances,” Anderson said. “As a whole we’re really solid. I was pleased that they worked and tried very hard.”

The Blue Devils’ forwards were effective around the goal, and their persistence never allowed Ohio State to get back into the game. “The early opportunities that Duke got—they put them away and then they just built on that momentum,” Ohio State head coach Anne Wilkinson said. “This game has a lot to do with momentum, and theyjust started to connect with each other and never let go. They were a strong team today.” Duke’s defense was nearly airtight, as its heavy pressure allowed only 10 shots and no goals. Junior goal tender Caitlin Williams was also superb, recording two saves and her sixth shutout of the season. “We had to communicate the whole game,” senior defender Amy Stopford said of her team’s defensive effort. “I think that everyone stepped up in this game.

There was some controversy surrounding the placement of the ball on a foul before the goal was scored, but the officials said the goal would stand, giving the Blue Devils their sudden-death win. “(James Madison] didn’t think that the ball was inside the circle, but it was,” Linton said. “It’s the end of their season now, so you want to make sure that it is a legitimate goal, but it was legitimate.” For their semifinal matchup Friday, Duke will face a familiar foe in Wake Forest.
