NEW APP REWARDS STUDENTS FOR STAYING OFF PHONES

CLAYTON EBERLY Lantern reporter eberly.72@osu.edu Students and smartphones make quite the team. Their phones can help them communicate with friends, check social media and shop online wherever they are — even in class.

Smartphones have the potential to distract students in class with the entertaining services they are able to provide.

But an app called Pocket Points aims to reward students for keeping their phones locked by giving them deals to local merchants, including Wendy’s, Ugly Tuna Saloona and Fourth Street Bar & Grill.

Launched in the fall of 2014, Rob Richardson and Mitch Gardner founded the app as students at California State University, Chico, said Brent Glowatch, a product developer and programmer at Pocket Points since 2015 and friend of Richardson and Gardner.

“We got some partners to come in who believed in us, and we were eventually able to push to Penn State, (California Polytechnic State University) and University of Colorado, Boulder,” Glowatch said.

Pocket Points now stretches all across the country from community colleges to major universities, including Ohio State, where it launched this fall.

Glowatch attributes the app’s success to a large amount of public relations and his company’s ability to get more than 1,000 merchants on board, as well as many schools, but he said he believes the greatest reason for its growing popularity is simply because it’s a good idea.

“Students like getting deals. They’re frugal,” Glowatch said. “We’re giving them an incentive to be doing what they should’ve been doing already.”

Ryan Dundon, a third-year in finance, has been using the app for two weeks now and is already reaping the benefits.

“You get 15 points to start off,” Dundon said. “I already bought a burger at Applebee’s for 10 points and I got 10 percent off of my check.”

Dundon found out about Pocket Points through one of his roommates and has been APP CONTINUES ON 2

OSU student biked across US, returns to campus MARIA SWICK DANIKA STAHL Lantern reporter Assistant Campus Editor swick.52@osu.edu stahl.145@osu.edu This summer, while many college students were on vacation and getting ready for the school year, Grace Galvin set out to make a difference by biking across the U.S. Galvin, a fourth-year in art education, rode her bike from

Portland, Maine, to Santa Barbara, California, with the charity Bike & Build to raise money to build houses in low-income communities.

After nearly three months of cycling and raising money for affordable housing, she is home.

According to the Bike & Build website, the nonprofit works with young adults to create cross-country cycling trips where participants build affordable housing. The proceeds go to affordable-housing organiza-

tions, such as Habitat for Humanity.

“Bike & Build combines two of my passions: biking and doing my part to help others,” Galvin said.

The trip started June 18 and ended Aug. 31, after Galvin biked 3,987 miles, in addition to the 500 miles she said she rode when training.

Galvin said she chose the Maine-to-California route because it had a stop in Columbus. She said she wanted to ride

through Columbus to see her friends and family.

“Ten weeks is a long time to be away from loved ones, so seeing my family gave me a major morale boost,” she said. “One of the coolest parts of riding into Ohio State’s campus was having my dad meet up with me along the route and finish the last couple of miles together.”

Alcohol consumption THIS WEEK IN WELLNESS:

DANIKA STAHL Assistant Campus Editor stahl.145@osu.edu

Each week, The Lantern speaks with experts at Ohio State for the latest in student health and wellness tips and news.

Football season has begun. For many students, that means tailgates, football parties and catching the game at the bar. At all three, there will probably be alcohol.

Blake Marble, assistant director of the Office of Student Life Student Wellness Center, talked to The Lantern about alcohol facts and safety.

Q: Is there a way to determine alcohol tolerance based on weight?

A: Often, there is the misperception that people who can “hold their liquor” are not being affected by alcohol. There are actually two main types of tolerance: “metabolic” and “functional” tolerance.

APP FROM 1

Functional tolerance is the result of drinking behavior and indicates that the person’s body and brain have become adapted to the presence of alcohol. With a high functional tolerance, a person would need to drink more to feel the same effects they used to feel when they drank less. The increase in overall drinking can result in a greater risk of developing alcohol dependence.

A person with a high metabolic tolerance may feel more stimulated by alcohol intoxication, and their liver may produce more of the enzyme (dehydrogenase) that breaks down alcohol and eliminates it from the body. A person with a high metabolic tolerance would need to drink more frequently and in greater amounts to raise their blood alcohol content to feel the effects of alcohol. However, the increased production of dehydrogenase can be damaging to the liver and the increase in overall drinking can also lead to a greater

raking in the points ever since.

“I just start the app right when I get on campus and let it run as long as I can,” he said.

Dundon said he’s noticed that he is paying a lot more attention in class now that he isn’t constantly checking his phone.

Brad Bushman, a professor of communication and psychology, said he believes that students using their phones in class is a bad idea in general.

“People think they can multitask, but research shows they cannot,” Bushman said.

Pocket Points might reduce the number of students trying to check their phones while their professors are lecturing.

Bushman said he thinks the app might be successful when students are truly driven by the restaurant deals, but generally it is

risk of developing alcohol dependence.

Q: What can students do if they have been drinking and don’t have a ride home?

A: The best option is always to arrange for a designated driver before you drink — planning ahead is the best case scenario. There are so many options that individuals can choose from to get home safely after a night of drinking: calling a sober friend or family member, the Campus Escort Service (614292-3322) is great and runs until 3:00 a.m., or a taxi or Uber. If you decide to walk home after consuming alcohol, never walk alone — always use the buddy system.

Q: What’s the best way to cure a hangover?

A: Certain research suggests that hangovers are related to the effects of alcohol on the blood vessels and fluid balances in the body. Regardless, it is much easier to prevent symptoms of a hang-

better for students to have educational goals that are intrinsically motivated rather than extrinsically motivated.

But some students said they think the rewards are effective motivating factors.

“If I wanted a burger from Wendy’s while in class and all it took was locking my phone for a while, I would definitely do it,” said Julien Baneux, a second-year in business and political science. “It really is a fantastic idea for an app.”

Baneux said, although she does not have the Pocket Points app, she thinks it’s interesting to see how new mobile trends are based on consumer habits.

“People look at the immediate rewards instead of long term ones,” she said.

over than to treat them. The best way to prevent the feelings associated with a hangover are to moderate your drinking, drink plenty of non-alcoholic fluids in between alcoholic beverages and never drink on an empty stomach.

Q: How can the signs of alcohol poisoning be recognized and what should students do if they suspect it?

A: There are many symptoms of alcohol poisoning. Some of the most common are the person is unconscious or semi-conscious and cannot be awakened, skin is cold or clammy and has pale or bluish color, slow breathing (or) vomiting. It’s safe to say that if a person has any of these symptoms, they need help. Do not ever leave the person alone — get help and call 911.

Q: What are some general tips for staying safe when drinking?

A: There are many ways to “party smart”. If you decide to go out, I

Glowatch said his company will continue adding new merchants to its list and want to extend Pocket Points to high school campuses as well.

In the year that the app has been available for use, Glowatch said it has collectively kept students off their phones for more than 100 years.

“It’s free to download,” Dundon said.

think first and foremost you should stay with your close friends from the beginning of the night, all the way until you get home. Look out for your friends and never leave them alone or let them wander off.

Being an active bystander is so important when it comes to staying safe while drinking.

Most students think that their peers are binge drinking all the time — however that is not the case. Nearly 80 percent of OSU students drink between 0 to 6 drinks when they party and about one-fourth of OSU students choose not to drink at all. Not everyone is doing it.

push through the physical exhaustion because she had made a commitment to herself and the team to help make a difference for others who are less fortunate.

Corrine Yonca, an alumna of the University of Vermont, cycled with Galvin. She said the journey had noticeably changed not only Galvin, but every member of their cycling family.

“I think that in the beginning, it was easy for us to get discouraged at small things because we didn’t have the big picture yet,” Yonca said.

Small hills, getting lost and rainstorms all posed a challenge, but the riders’ perspective changed.

“By the end of it, all of us would get excited by the challenges,” Yonca said.

Yonca said they not only learned to overcome physical obstacles, but realized the privilege the trip provided.

“It gave us perspective on people who (don’t) have the opportunity or access,” she said.

She said they had family and friends who supported them along the way and people to reach out to and share their stories.

“So it became our responsibil-

ity to be able to give back even more,” she said. “We became a family by the end of it.”

Galvin said the most defining moment was reaching the ocean and dipping her bike wheels into the Pacific.

“After 75 days of riding and building, it felt incredible to celebrate the culmination of all of our efforts together,” Galvin said.

While Galvin might not participate as a rider again, she said she might like to do it as a trip leader.

“Being a rider on Bike & Build was the single most life-changing and rewarding journey I have ever been on,” she said. “It taught me about pure unadulterated joy, about pain and weakness, about love and loss, about the importance of gratitude, and it taught me about the power of friendship. But more than anything, this trip taught me about the resilience of the human spirit.

Yonca, too, said the trip was life-changing for her and many others.

“We were touching lives,” she said. “Our lives were bumping into other strangers, other travelers.”

THE CORDIAL SINS HANNAH HERNER Lantern reporter herner.12@osu.edu

The members of The Cordial Sins used their time in school to not only hone in on their individual musical talents, but also to form the band.

Corey Dickerson and Liz Fisher started their music collaboration in high school.

“I wanted to add some strings parts to the music I was working on and everyone referred me to her,” Dickerson, guitarist and vocalist, said.

Fisher started playing the violin when she was just 3 years old and went on to major in violin performance at Ohio State and graduate in 2014.

“That’s what I chose to go to school for because I didn’t really know what else to do with my life.

I’m happy about that because I spent a lot of time in college really honing my skills as a musician.

My teacher was very open to the idea that I wanted to do more than just play violin,” she said.

Drummer Jeremy Miller was added to The Cordial Sins shortly after its conception in 2012 after Fisher and Dickerson saw him playing in a Beatles cover band.

Miller, who graduated in 2009 with a degree in architecture, also found his time at OSU to be formative.

“I was at Knowlton from 7 a.m. ‘til 11 p.m. like six days a week, so I didn’t really have time to play music,” he said. “I think that was really good, because I used to be interested in drumline type of stuff, technical pieces, but then I realized that those aren’t enjoyable to listen to at all.”

But his time away from music wasn’t a loss.

“When I started playing again, I listened to records I really loved in my headphones and would just play along. I think that period of not really being able to play in college was really beneficial for me,” Miller said.

Bassist Alex Randall and guitarist Kyle Edwards were added to the band in May to help form its new sound.

This is Edwards’ first real band after having dabbled in music throughout his career at OSU and graduating with a degree in electrical engineering in Spring 2015.

“I chose electrical engineering because I knew you could get into the audio side of it,” he said.

Randall has a degree in audio production from Ohio University, but he met Dickerson in Chinese classes that they both attended.

When Dickerson’s previous band dissolved, he took Miller up on his offer to join The Cordial Sins.

“It’s different for this band, because my bass playing has to be a little more choice, I can’t just go

full throttle. This is more groovebased,” he said of the transition.

Dickerson took an alternative route compared to the rest of the band.

“I went to school for smoking weed and writing songs,” he said jokingly, adding, “I went for a semester and it blew. It wasn’t for me so I went back to focusing on being a songwriter because that’s what I’ve been doing since I was 13.”

The new material, all written and produced in the past eight months, is reflective of the band’s transition.

“A lot of the songs are about the developments we’ve gone through and really trying to do this as our career. I think that really fuels a lot of our songwriting, our general passion for this. Hopefully that comes through,” Fisher said.

The band has released a single, “Places,” from its upcoming album.

“We released it because we thought it was most representative of what we want to do,” Fisher said.

The 11-song album will be released on Nov. 7 at the Big Room Bar. The Cordial Sins’ next show is Sept. 19 at Spacebar with Mobros and previous Columbus’ Own feature, The Helionauts.

Reader: So two of my friends broke up within our friend group. How do we get things back to normal?

Ogonna: There comes a time in every friend group where one person starts to develop feelings for another. It could even be the reason why the friend group got together in the first place.

Take the show, well, “Friends,” for example. With Ross pining after Rachel, the group got closer and closer and eventually the two started dating. But when the breakup happened, it seemed like the “Friends” group would never be the same. But as we see throughout the next seven seasons, nothing could change the dynamics of friends as goofy and as close as these ones.

What’s stopping you from doing the same?

First things first: When a breakup in a friend group happens, get the full story before you make any judgment calls.

You are bound to get bits and pieces from each person in the group, but it’s a lot easier to go directly to the source or sources. After all, you all are friends with each other. Get as much information as you can from both sides to fully understand what happened and how you should react.

That being said, don’t take sides, or at least try not to. In situations where the breakup was more or less mutual and you could see it coming, it’s usually a bit easier to bring the gang back together.

In situations where there was a clear heartbreaker who seemingly destroyed the hopes and dreams of your other friend, it can be hard to see that friend in the same light. Maybe the situation was so bad that you don’t even think you can be friends with that person again.

Regardless, it’s important to let this person know how you feel and what you think of the way he or she handled the situation or treated the friend he or she broke up with. There are bound to be fights and arguments, but friend groups should

be able to be honest and open with each other without falling apart.

Make sure to support each friend through the breakup, especially if it wasn’t a mutual decision. If one person felt more strongly about breaking up than the other, the “victim” is obviously going to be the friend who got broken up with. Naturally, that person receive more attention, but it’s important to remember that both sides are still affected.

See how both sides of the situation are doing and act accordingly. As a member of a friend group, you should split your time and energy evenly with each person to assess how they are doing and eventually ease your way into bringing everyone back together as a whole.

Don’t add to the awkwardness of the situation. By the time the gang’s back together, everyone will have known about the drama that went on with your friends’ breakup. As hard as it seems, try your best not to make things awkward.

For different friend groups, that will look different. If you all are the type of friends to make light of the obvious situation, then ease your way into it over time. No matter how lighthearted the two friends might seem, they are in some way hurting, so I always think it’s best to give them a few weeks or months before you start to bring up the “Hey, remember when you two were dating?” jokes. I, personally, would avoid bringing up the situation. Let it be the two involved who bring it up jokingly, then hop on board.

Note that when involved in a friend group, breakups, makeups, crushes, hookups and the like might occur at some point throughout your years. Awkwardness is bound to happen as a result as well. And in more serious situations, it can be hard to reconcile your quarreling friends.

At the end of the day, all you can do is support them and show them love. They might not be great friends with each other anymore, but that doesn’t mean you have to stop being a great friend to either of them.

Ohio State professor fuses physics and art to create holographic designs LEAH MCCLURE Lantern reporter mcclure.607@osu.edu Holographic art will jump out at a person, literally. Professor Harris Kagan has been educatingstudents about the 3-D images that marry science and art for 30 years, attracting students from all fields of study with his spontaneous teaching style and state-of-the-art lasers.

“If you like a very struc-

tured class, this isn’t the one for you,” Kagan said.

Kagan’s holography classes are offered as both art and physics courses, so they are filled with students from both areas of study.

Christian Cantrell, a fifthyear in electrical and computer engineering and three-time president of the Ohio State Holography Club, described the experience that comes with the class.

“The science students grasp the physics of the lecture and mechanics of the lab more easily, while the art students pick up the creative thought process and composition faster, but because the class is based on open discussions and critiques, everyone benefits from each other’s explanations and demonstrations with their holograms,” Cantrell said.

Cantrell described Kagan’s skills as a professor, stating

that he encourages his students to think in new and different ways, his ultimate goal being that they grow as people.

“Dr. Kagan is passionate about getting his students to think as artists and scientists and breaking down the barrier between them,” he said.

Professor pens paper, lectures on history of music notation DAVID WU Lantern reporter wu.1710@osu.edu Before radio turned out pop hits left and right, paper and pen advancements in the 1300s led to an increase in song notation.

Graeme Boone, director of the Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies and professor of music, recently wrote a paper on the advancements of musical notation.

Boone shared his knowledge at a lecture in 18th Avenue Library on Monday.

“The development of paper industries in the 14th century encourages an attitude toward writing, which is increasingly broad that includes different types of writing, especially informal writings,” Boone said in an interview prior to the lecture.

Boone said that this leads to an increase of using new ways to write.

Before the development of paper, he said musicians wrote down their musical ideas on parchment that is more expensive than paper.

The development of paper, on the other hand, encourages people to

write down their musical notations more frequently because it is cheaper.

“Writing down the music becomes more personal and informal, and it becomes more common for different types of people to start writing down music,” Boone said.

As more and more people wrote music down, according to Boone, the way of writing music notations became more complex and new forms needed to be invented, such as new ink colors used.

Traditionally, black notes were used for chant music, Boone said.

Thus, not all musicians accepted this notation change because they felt white notes lacked a sense of authority.

“Some of the leading musical thinkers of the day don’t want this (color shifting) to happen because to use white notes is to ignore the great tradition of black notes,” he said.

Nevertheless, throughout the 1400s, white notation had taken the majority of music notations regardless of its controversial views.

The change in the musical notation does not affect music performance itself.

Boone said advanced print technology and simplicity of void notes do, however, allow people to write down their thoughts immediately.

“It really does affect the way that people can use writing to make music,” he said. “By making it easier to write notes (and) by making it more common, you are allowing people to store their thoughts in writing more easily and to think more quickly and complexly in writing.”

The topic of this lecture was very creative and important, as most people focus on aural differences when discussing music revolution, but they ignore the fact that writing is another invisible step of composing.

“Thinking about notation being filled versus not filled is also very interesting,” said Austin McCabe Juhnke, a doctoral candidate in musicology. “It would definitely have some implications for people who are performing music from this era, and scholars who are wanting to make editions of these kind of music.”

so hopefully I can catch up.

Luckily we have amazing tutors and help.”

The transition is eased by growing up in the Columbus area and a familiarity with campus and her coaches, both of which played a role in her choice to attend OSU. “I go to a lot of games. I love the big school atmosphere and most importantly the coaches.

They’ve all really helped me become the player I am,” she said.

Women’s tennis coach Melissa Schaub said she is proud to have a highly rated prospect on the roster.

“It means a lot. Not only is she a one recruit, but she’s an Ohio kid and from Columbus. It’s huge for us at Ohio State to keep someone home like that,” she said. “I think we’ve been able to get ourselves to a level where we are able to get someone like her.

It means a lot for the future of the program and for right now.”

While new to OSU, Di Lorenzo said she is already comfortable with her new teammates.

“I’d come here for the clinics when I was younger, and I’d meet the girls,” she said.

“They’re great girls. I just love being with the team.”

The team atmosphere is what Schaub said she sees as one of roster’s strengths.

“Team chemistry is really strong. They’re definitely very tight-knit. I think this year with the addition of Francesca, Search NSA to Download there’s really good competition amongst the team. I think that’s good,” she said.

“I think that’s the greatest AT thing about Francesca, she was a No. 1 recruit in the country, but there’s also things that she can get better at,” she said. “Her goals are beyond college, and no one is willing to work harder than she is. It’s pretty exciting.”

Di Lorenzo and the women’s tennis team are scheduled to kick off their 2015 season in tournaments in Waco, Texas, and Miami from Sept. 18-20.

HAVE ANOTHER ROUND

er Sean Nuernberger missed seven of his 20 attempts during his freshman year — Willoughby, who resides in his family’s home in Juno, Alaska, in the offseason, made the choice to move to Columbus in April.

“I think Ohio State might’ve looked at me because of the role I could fill on kickoff, but for me it was about field goals as well,” he said. “If I wanted to just be a kickoff guy, I would’ve stayed at Duke.”

Willoughby turned heads as a potential starting placekicker for the Buckeyes in August when he made back-to-back 60-yard kicks in practice.

Now entrenched in a weekly one-on-one battle with Nuernberger, Willoughby has gotten the nod from coach Urban Meyer in each of

OSU’s first two games.

Things have not started great for the redshirt senior, as his first collegiate field goal attempt in OSU’s opener at Virginia Tech was a 43yard attempt that went wide.

While he raised his field goal percentage to 50 percent with the 20yard make during the Buckeyes’ second game against Hawaii, two of his seven kickoffs went out of bounds for a penalty.

Meyer said he has not been happy with the mixed performance by the kicker so far, especially on kickoffs.

“We’re still not settled,” Meyer said. “Jack is — we had two penalties on kickoff, and that’s got to be addressed and got to get fixed.”

As far as the issue of the kickoffs goes, Willoughby said he has been

his own biggest critic.

“I hold myself to a higher standard than to ever kick the ball out of bounds,” Willoughby said. “It’s definitely something I try not to beat myself up about, but I consider it unacceptable.”

Whether he holds the starting kicker job from week to week or loses it to Nuernberger, Willoughby said coming to OSU has already been a worthwhile decision.

“Clearly here, the tradition, the fans, the scale of a lot of what we do is at a slightly different level to me,” Willoughby said. “But if you ask guys why they really play the game, it’s for their teammates, for their coaches, and those things don’t really change here or at Duke, smaller places.”

competing hard, and I would have to do the same.”

However, she admits that taking out a high-ranked player adds more excitement to a win. “(Mihalikova) was the Australian Open junior champion, so that was cool to be able to beat a girl that has had so much success,” the freshman said. “That gives you a lot of confidence going into your next matches.”

Di Lorenzo and her doubles partner Stefani met through their siblings who both play tennis at Xavier University. The pair had recently won doubles championships in Brazil and Belgium.

They took out the No. 4-ranked pair of Russians, Anna Blinkova and Olesya Pervushina, in the quarterfinals before having their run end in the semi-finals against the eventual champions, Slovakia’s Viktoria Kuzmova and Russia’s Aleksandra Pospelova.

Having only been on campus for two weeks before the tournament began, Di Lorenzo is now adjusting to life at OSU. “It’s tough, I’m not going to lie,” she said. “It’s much harder than you think to try and keep up with the academics and tennis. I just missed the last week,

Francesca Di Lorenzo attempts a shot during a match at the 2015 U.S. Open Junior

ALEXA MAVROGIANIS Lantern reporter mavrogianis.1@osu.edu While most Ohio State students have started hitting the books, freshman tennis player Francesca Di Lorenzo has been busy hitting the courts at the 135th edition of the U.S. Open.

The fourth leg of the Grand Slam, which began on Aug. 31 in New York City and concluded on Sunday, featured more than 300 of the best tennis players in the world.

Di Lorenzo, who was ranked as the No. 1 recruit in the class of 2015 by the Tennis Recruiting Network, advanced all the way to the semi-finals of both the U.S. Open Junior girls’ singles and doubles draws.

Di Lorenzo said the experience was one of the highlights of her career so far.

“It was one of the best weeks I’ve had in terms of tennis,” she said. “The atmosphere there in New York was just unbelievable.

The fans, everyone supporting you, you’re in the U.S. as a U.S. player. It doesn’t get better than that.”

Surrounded by famed tennis stars like Serena and Venus Williams, Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic, Di Lorenzo got a taste of life with the pros.

“It was interesting to be with the pros. You got to eat in the same restaurants as them and be right by the locker room with them,” she said. “It’s nice to see the level that you want to get to.”

The New Albany, Ohio, native was unseeded in the singles draw but was ranked fifth in doubles alongside partner Luisa Stefani of Brazil. Despite what the rankings might have depicted, Di Lorenzo said it is competing in singles that she enjoys most.

“I enjoy doubles and having a partner out there, but I like being out there competing on my own,” she said. “If I win, it’s on me. If I lose, it’s on me.”

Throughout the singles draw, Di Lorenzo faced off against two players ranked in the top five in the world. She defeated Slovakia’s Tereza Mihalikova, the No. 4 seed, in the third round of the tournament. She later fell to the No. 2-ranked, and eventual single’s champion, Dalma Galfi of Hungary, in the semi-finals.

Di Lorenzo said her mindset does not change regardless of where her opponent is ranked.

“I don’t like looking at the rankings as much as focusing on what I have to do to be successful in the match,” she said. “I knew that whatever match I was playing that the girl was going to come out playing her best and TENNIS CONTINUES ON 7

OSU men’s soccer team prepares for No. 11 Akron MARIESHA GIBSON Lantern reporter gibson.917@osu.edu In the midst of a four-game losing streak, the Ohio State men’s soccer team (1-4-0) is preparing for a tough game against one of its in-state rivals.

OSU is scheduled to take on No. 11 Akron (4-1-0) on Wednesday at 7 p.m. at FirstEnergy Stadium - Cub Cadet Field in Akron, Ohio.

The Buckeyes will be walking into a stadium in front of a large crowd as they take on the task of bringing a victory back to Columbus.

Last season, OSU was able to upset the Zips in a first-round NCAA tournament matchup that came down to 15 rounds of penalty kicks.

The Buckeyes walked away with the 13-12 penalty kick victory after a 1-1 double overtime draw, leaving the Zips anxious for the 2015 season and a chance to get back at the Scarlet and Gray.

“They’re going to want to come back at us because we knocked them out of the tournament last year,” sophomore forward Marcus McCrary said.

After returning from a loss against Northwestern on Friday, sophomore

defender Hunter Robertson said the Buckeyes have a lot of work to do before taking on the task of handling the Zips.

“On Sunday, a lot of the kids who didn’t get to play trained really hard,” Robertson said. “The practice (on Monday) was really intense, but because it’s a rival game, we’ll be ready for this one.”

Despite OSU’s slow start to the 2015 season, the Buckeyes are looking to improve their record in a stadium full of fans seeking revenge.

“The atmosphere is going to be awesome, (I’m) excited for that, but at the same time we’ve got to keep

our concentration,” junior forward Danny Jensen said. “We know what they’re going to throw at us, we’ve played there before and it’s a little crazy, we’ve just have to keep our minds and play our game and hopefully we get the end result.”

Honorary captain The OSU men’s soccer team named 10-year-old Ivan Applin as an honorary captain for its game against Wisconsin on Oct. 18.

Ivan had undergone a heart procedure at the C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

Ivan’s story made the news after he expressed his concern that he would

wake up from surgery a fan of the Michigan Wolverines.

The Buckeyes heard about Ivan’s story and created a video, inviting him to become an honorary captain.

Two days later, Ivan and his family responded, expressing their excitement about the invite from the Scarlet and Gray.

What’s next?

Following Wednesday’s game, the Buckeyes are scheduled to host their Big Ten home opener against No. 13 Penn State on Sunday at Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium. Kickoff is set for 3 p.m.

Instructional DVD, transfer from Duke led kicker Jack Willoughby to spotlight RYAN COOPER Sports Editor cooper.487@osu.edu When Jack Willoughby’s 20-yard kick sailed through the uprights on Saturday, it was not just the first field goal he made in five years of college — it was the first he made in a game, ever.

Willoughby, a former soccer player who walked on to the Duke football team in 2011, had never kicked a football until the summer after his high-school graduation. When he did learn how to do it, his coaching came in the form of an instructional DVD he purchased.

While soccer was his sport of choice, football was his passion, and

the Princeton, New Jersey, product saw an opportunity to contribute down the line for the Blue Devils.

“My grandpa played college football, and I grew up a big college football fan,” Willoughby said. “I thought there was a chance to play college soccer at Duke, but I saw an opportunity to make the transition after high school.”

Willoughby’s big leg enabled him to stick around on the Duke team and become its kickoff specialist, kicking off in three games in 2013 and all 13 the following year.

However, with an All-American kicker in Ross Martin firmly in place as the placekicker, Willoughby knew his opportunity to kick field goals would likely only come else-

where.

“I decided during my (redshirt junior) season at Duke that I wanted to transfer. It was kind of a multistep decision,” he said. “First of all, do I want to play a fifth year of football or do I want to enter the working world? That was probably the hardest decision. Then after I made up my mind there, I decided that I wanted to leave Duke.”

Willoughby said he put together a highlight tape that he mailed to coaches around the country to try to find interested schools, one of which ended up being Ohio State.
