Shake off the apathy

Lori AllenSaint M ary’s New s

E dito r

As we en ter into our sixth week of classes and in the afte rm ath of the Ohio State game, the last thing m ost of usw an t to think about is school work. Alas, it’s tha t time of the year again. You can even smell it in the air: midterms. As another round of tests and papers approach, you have pretty much decided th a t your professors are all involved in a conspiracy against you to purposely schedule every major test or paper deadline on the sam e day. You really try to get stuff done over the w eekend, but som e­times it ju s t doesn’t happen. You’re already a chapter behind in the assigned read ing for your classes (all six), and Richard III eagerly awaits his debut.

Some w here in the w ee hours of the all- nighter to get tha t p ap e r done before your 9 a.m. class, you envision a life w ithout stress and deadlines. It is a life of football games and parties. Then you realize tha t th a t ’s been you life for the last couple of weeks and you’re still th ree chap te rs behind and have to rea d Huckleberry Finn for the tenth time.You get this brilliant ides to “save” all of your read ing for the night before, and you s ta re at the clock and mathem atically figure out how many pages per hour you’ll have to write in o rder to finish your paper. You know it’s not going to happen.

It’s usually a round this time tha t something as exciting as Mystery Science T hea tre 3000 happens to be on TV, and you know it’d be a pity if you missed it. P rocrastination. We all know it so well, we practically welcome it as our friend. There always seems to be som e­thing else to do.

There are those ra re m om ents w hen you can actually separa te yourself from the in san ­ity and ju s t step back and think about w here you are. It’s times like these w hen you really apprecia te the LeMans Tower or the Golden Dome, when you realize how lucky you are to be w here you are. You savor college life because you know it’s fleeting.

You smile as you realize tha t you are su r ­rounded by am azing people and ideas. You apprecia te your friends for who they are, and the fact tha t they too loathe the ushers at the football gam es (you give a m an a yellow ja ck ­et, and he thinks he owns the world).

You leave a class one day after an am azing lecture and believe in you h ea r t tha t you have the power to change the world. You sit through a class, “ju s t to fulfill a r equ irem en t” and randomly discover w ha t you w an t to do with the rest of your life.

You’ll take c lasses with, or work in o rgani­zations with, s tudents who will inspire and am aze you. If you’re really lucky, you might just inspire someone yourself.

W e’re su rrounded by over 15,000 of the brightest individuals in the nation, we can learn something from everyone. All it really takes is the desire to m ake something of w hat you’ve got, to seize the opportunity.

We are all guilty of sitting in the dining hall and complaining about everything th a t is wrong with the Saint Mary’s and Notre Dame campuses. We complain about how sheltered we are and how m uch College and University policies restric t us. It’s time we lose the label of “apa the tic” and actually do something about it. After all, this is our time, and it’s up to us how we use it. Now get back to tha t paper, the clock’s ticking ...

Serious repairs needed on Vaness, other roadsThe topic of this co lum n is far from

glamorous or sexy. In fact, this piece is a b o u t civil e n g i n e e r i n g — c e r t a in l y a topic th a t I’ve n ev e r b ro a c h e d before and one tha t I never though t I would. Insofar as 1 know about as much about civil e n g in e e r in g as Lou Holtz know s abou t a soph is t ica ted pass ing offense.

I’m probably not even qualified to write this column.

But despite my lack of training in road design or construction, 1 can recognize a bad situation when I see one, and this pas t home football w eekend convinced me that there is a tragedy-in-waiting at the s o u th e a s t e r n ed g e of c a m p u s on Vaness Street.

I realize tha t “Vaness Street" may not be a nam e with which you are instantly familiar, bu t if you a re a Notre Dame student, chances are you’ve been on this obscure little thoroughfare many times. Vaness S treet is the two-lane b lacktop road tha t runs from Alumni Field (the varsity soccer stadium) to State Road 23, in the process passing such frequent off- c a m p u s d e s t in a t io n s as T u r t le C reek A p a r t m e n t s , C a m p u s V iew a n d th e "C a m p u s S h o p p e s ” s h o p p in g c e n t e r ( S tu d e b a g e l s , I’a p p a J o h n ’s, e t c . ) . Connecting Ivy Road and SR 23. Vaness is also a primary route between campus and the Martin’s/Osco strip mall.

So needless to say, Vaness is amongst the most heavily traveled of the campus per im ete r roads. In the m orn ings and af te rnoons it is filled with off-cam pus s tu d e n ts walking, r iding, or driving to and from classes, and on the w eekends it is c lo g g ed w ith s tu d e n t s t ry in g to

make their way to parties, ea teries and bars.

Vaness is also an accident waiting to h a p p e n . A lthough it is f re q u e n te d by s tudents at all hours, it lacks any sort of s t ree t lighting. Despite having as much pedestr ian traffic as any local street, it lacks sidewalks or even a proper shoul­der. While its width of 25 to 27 feet is sufficient un d er norm al conditions, the fac t t h a t p a r k in g is a l lo w ed on bo th sides of the road can narrow the street to as little as 12 feet across, not nearly enough room for two cars to pass each other in opposite directions. And th a t ’s to say nothing of all the bicyclists and groups of s tu d e n ts with which drivers m us t sh a re the road. Vaness is also in despera te need of repair , with some of its p o th o le s se em in g ly big e n o u g h to swallow a Volkswagen. (The largest pot­hole I was able to find m easu red three feet by 16 inches.)

Lest you think tha t I, ignorant govern­m ent major tha t I am, either don ’t know w h a t I’m ta lk ing a b o u t o r am m ere ly trying to ignite controversy, I w ent out and solicited a professional opinion on Vaness Street. A senior civil engineering major confirmed tha t Vaness “is one of the most shoddily constructed roads I’ve e v e r s e e n . . . it d e f in i te ly n e e d s to be w idened and repa ired .. . I feel like I’m putting my life on the line every time I r id e my bike dow n it." T he fac t th a t some local residents refer to Vaness as “Death Alley” also clearly speaks to its condition.

B ut th e d a n g e r s fo u n d on V a n e s s S treet go beyond its physical condition. On w eekends it se em s th a t the en t i re freshm an class, a healthy percentage of it intoxicated, is trying to stumble home along it in la rge groups th a t refuse to recognize the right-of-way of cars. The University’s decision to exile alumni RVs aw ay from the stadium lots on football weekends has resulted in many of these house-sized vehicles taking up residence a long Vaness, n a r ro w in g the s t r e e t to the point th a t it is practically im p a ss ­

able. With Coach’s, the ‘Backer and off- cam pus parties in such close proximity, many of the drivers t rave rs ing Vaness probably shouldn’t be behind the wheel a t all, m uch less on a d a rk , c r a m p e d s t r e e t p l a g u e d w i th g i a n t p o th o le s , parked RVs and d runk pedestr ians zig­zagging down the middle of the p av e ­ment.

I d o n ’t p r e t e n d to u n d e r s t a n d th e machiavellian machinations of local gov­e r n m e n t . I r e a l i z e t h a t th e e f f o r t to improve safety along Vaness Street, and indeed the rest of the cam pus perim eter, would probably have to be a city and/or county initiative. But I’ve also seen tha t the University did a g rea t job over the s u m m e r of im p r o v in g Ivy R oad ( the north-south thoroughfare tha t parallels the e a s t edge of cam pus) , an d I have lived in South Bend long enough to know th a t w hen the a r e a ’s la rges t em ployer w ants something, it usually gets it. The University n ee d s to apply p r e s s u r e to local government now, not in the wake of some future ca ta s trophe involving a

It’s about time th a t such ground-breaking, hi-tech inno­vations as the s t ree t light, road shoulder and s idew alk m ake th e ir d e b u t in the a reas su rrounding Notre Dame.

Every senior rem em bers the last “big g a m e ” w e e k e n d a t t h i s s c h o o l in November 1993, when a m em ber of our class was killed trying to walk home at night along a road w ithout sidewalks or lights. It is a d isgrace th a t th ree years later, even in the im m edia te vicinity of o u r ca m p u s , condit ions have not s u b ­stantially improved. But for the grace of God the M ara Fox tragedy could easily r e p e a t i t s e l f on an y g iven w e e k e n d . Anyone who doubts this need only drive down Vaness S treet next Friday at m id­night.

N ew sf la sh : On w e e k e n d s a t N o tre D am e, we, as s tuden ts , get stuck in a ru t. I am not as fam iliar with Saint M ary’s nightlife (I’ll give th e m th e bene f i t of th e doubt) , b u t t h e r e a r e on ly e v e r tw o c h o ic e s of

things to do on this cam pus: go to a party , or go to a movie. If you doubt this , try it (I have) an d see if you ca n com e up w ith a n y th in g e lse w i th o u t s t r a y in g from o u r cam pus confines. T hen tell the world, and you will be n am ed Cam pus Social Com missioner for life.

Until th a t h ap p en s , though , those not up for room- hopp ing an d b ee rc a n - t ip p in g have only the c inem a to rescue them. If the forays to Videowatch come up dry, then the weekly showings a t Cushing a re usually tu rn e d to as the las t reso r t .

Am I w rong? Allow m e to be pom pous, bu t I don 't think so. This year , how ever, since the world needs a b reak from Demi Moore (the good: providing a voice for “The H unchback of Notre Dame"; the bad: p r o ­viding a show in “S tr ip te a se ”), we all should know th a t YES, Virginia, th e re is an a l te rna t ive — namely, C inema a t the Snite.

Four tim es a w eek, u n d e r cover of night, the folks a t COTH conspire to infuse this cam pus with a little c u l tu re beyond huge sp a c e sh ip s an d fake breasts ' . Previously this year , the ir w eekend fare has included Best Picture nom inee “Babe," Best Foreign Language Picture w inner “A n ton ia ’s Line,” and the Coen b ro th ­e r s ’ film noir parody “Fargo."

“Stealing Beauty” (Oct. 4&5)

This him from Bernardo Bertolucci, Best Director of “The Last Emperor," is a union of beauties from the New and Old Worlds. The Tuscany hillsides, lovingly cap tured on film by Bertolucci, are the setting for this story of a young American ingenue (re: girl) w ho’s out to learn about life. Well, OK, sh e ’s really out to lose her virginity, but in rea l life sh e ’s Liv Tyler, the gor­geous p rogeny (re: kid) of A ero sm ith ’s S tephen , so watching her cavort under Italian skies should be a lot of fun. As E n te r t a in m e n t W eekly p u t it, “S tea l ing Beauty” is “a grea t date movie," and yeah, tha t sounds about right. Better than “Showgirls”.

“I Shot Andy Warhol” (Oct. 11&12)

The maverick director Mary Herron team ed up with super indie-actress Lili Taylor to bring us this bio of the fury-driven feminist Valerie Solanas, “m a n -h a te r” to the stars. In 1968, she opened fire on Pop Art icon W arhol, h itt ing him th ree tim es and laying claim to h e r 15 m in u te s of fam e . H e r ro n a n d T a y lo r give Solanas another public voice after almost thirty years, and while her story unfolds onscreen, the audience is t re a te d to sn ippets of h e r SCUM Manifesto — th a t ’s SCUM, as in “Society for Cutting Up Men”. Limbaugh- lovers can denounce it as unladylike, but I say a bit of the o f ultra-violence has a right to be gender-blind.

“Trainspotting” (November 1&2)

The biggest indie of the su m m er w as this Scottish film a b o u t h e r o in j u n k ie s a n d th e i r a im le s s d r i f t through life. This is the kind of thing th a t doesn’t come to every thea te r in the Michiana area , so the Snite has taken it upon itself to give us the opportunity to watch our hero Renton and his fellows — “a bunch of losers, liars, psychos, thieves and junk ie s” — discuss life in the seamy underbelly of Scottish society, even while they live it out in a heroin haze. This movie, b rash and

bruising as it is, could become the most influential him of the year — and w ouldn’t you like to say you saw the first time on screen th a t anybody ever dove after a heroin suppository in a ...? Oh, never mind, you’ll have to see it and find out.

“The Celluloid Closet” (November 8&9)

Last year this docum entary brought to light the fact tha t , th ro u g h o u t film h is tory , even in the McCarthy *50’s and the R eagan ‘8 0 ’s, hom osexuality has been v ery p r e s e n t in o u r m o v ie s , e v e n in so m e o f o u r favorites (oh, my!). The roles th a t Whoopi Goldberg, Tony Curtis, and Tom Hanks c re a te d in “The Color Purple ,” “Spartacus," and “Philadelphia” a re ju s t some of the over 100 roles and movies th a t “The Celluloid Closet” brings out of the closet and into our film con­sciousness. Attitudes tow ards sex roles on the silver screen have never been static, or even constantly p ro ­gressive: as an example, the ‘70 ’s saw a revolution in o p e n n e s s a s h o n e s t n o n - h e t e r o s e x u a l p o r t r a y a l s gained respect with movies like A1 Pacino’s “Dog Day Afternoon,” but the AIDS-inspired backlash of the ‘80’s closed the closet again. It rem a ined closed until Hanks’ historic win in 1994 for “Philadelphia,” the first Oscar for an openly homosexual role. “The Celluloid Closet” can show us ju s t how m uch m ore the movies have h id­den from us over the years, and how the touchy issue of sexuality w as handled in the Hollywood industry for the last hundred years.

Of course, these movies a r e n ’t for everybody, either, but you’re bound to find som ething m ore to your taste on the S n i te ’s m ovie c a l e n d a r (pick one up a t the m useum en trance , they’re free).

If you find yourself need ing e n te r ta in m en t on one of th e s e s u p e rb S o u th B end n igh ts , I s u g g e s t you go to a n y v id e o r e n t a l e s ta b l i s h m e n t ( ex c ep t t h a t n e fa r io u s n e w , m a m m o t h c o r p o r a t e s t o r e on Ironwood - stay away if you value your cho ice a n d se le c t io n ) a n d p ick up a copy of the Coen b r o th e r ’s la tes t film, “Fargo”. The story is simple — a mid- western car sa lesm an hatches a plot to ob ta in the m o n e y he n e e d s for a big inves tm ent deal. He h ires two m en to kindap his wife so th a t he can ransom h e r w e a l th y a n d c ro tc h e ty f a th e r for the r e q u i r e d sum . But, as th e p o ta to ea ting poet w ri tes in his m use , things fall apart. W hat seem s to be foolproof road to riches leads only to a nasty dis­a s t e r a n d a h u m a n t r a g e d y of Rosie O’Donnell’s proportions.

U n fo r tu n a te ly , th is a s s e r t io n su gges ts th a t “F a r g o ” the movie, like Fargo the city, is a mildly am using and sw eet motion picture; likewise, it is one t h a t is s u b t l y n u m b i n g in i t s u t t e r banality.

Due to those personally perceived cir­c u m s ta n c e s , D ad d y fo u n d h im s e l f a p a s s iv e o b s e r v e r a t a r e c e n t v id e o showing of “Fargo .” Embroiled in a sit­

On the con tra ry , he cons idered it to be j u s t a n o th e r sad ind ica t ion of the w a y p e o p le u n c o n s c io u s l y c o n f r o m their lifestyles to the social m ean of the

“F argo” is ex trem ely well co n s t ru c t ­ed. The m u rd e r plot does not revolve a round overdone technical violence to fo rc e th e a u d i e n c e in to t h e a c t io n . Instead, “F argo” works to m ake every c h a r a c t e r r e a l an d be l ievab le so th a t t h e a u d i e n c e r e l a t e s to t h e p e o p l e r a th e r th a n to th e v io lence in an d of itself. W h e re a s m uch of w h a t pas ses for this genre of movie today is simly a dull extrapolation on the pointless vio­lence of shoot ’em up movies, this film d r a w s th e v ie w e r in to p e o p l e ’s lives r a th e r than merely bringing us people’s

actions.Few films in r e c e n t y e a rs have p ro ­

vided such a rem a rk a b le set of c h a ra c ­ters. They are in te resting in their o rd i­nariness . From the p regnan t, ever-hun- gry policewoman to the fumbling main c h a r a c t e r , all of th e m a r e be l ievab le and subtly rem arkab le .

D a d d y ’s c r i t i c i s m s of th e film a r e legitimate. If one is not in tune with the c h a r a c t e r s an d f i lm m a k e r s , th e n the movie can slide into an insipid mix of thick m idw este rn accents and bumbling fools. But, for the m ost par t , I think tha t “F a r g o ” is h ig h ly a c c e s s ib l e a n d fa r from obvious. If one looks to know the ch a rac te rs r a th e r th a n focusing on fol­lowing the plot to som e expected and cliched climax, then one will be utterly as tounded a t the depth of the movie. If not, it m ight seem ju s t a little tedious. If o n e e x p e c t s to be e n t e r t a i n e d by a movie r a t h e r th a n w o rk in g to u n d e r ­stand it, I d o n ’t see how one can derive m uch enjoym ent from it.

The film also depicts the Midwest in a way th a t few o ther films have. The s e t ­t ings , h o u se s , c a r s , b a r s and r e s t a u ­ra n ts th a t popula te “F a rg o ” all have a c e r t a i n e l e m e n t o f a u th e n t i c i t y th a t usually gets lost in movies m ade about our p a r t of the country.

In some ways, it was very much a d i s tu rb in g fee l ing of d e ja vu. In a n o t h e r , a n d m o r e i m p o r t a n t regard , it was very much a feeling unfelt since 1990.

When Autry Denson’s late fourth- quar te r 90-yard punt re tu rn touch­down was called back due to a hold­ing p e n a l t y a g a i n s t Ty G o o d e , th o u g h ts f la s h e d back to D err ick Mayes' nega ted punt re tu rn in last s e a s o n ’s O range Bowl and Raghib "Rocket” Ismail all-for-naught hero ­ic run against Colorado in the 1991 Orange Bowl.

As the dcvasting yellow flag hit the tu rf of Notre Dame Stadium, so too d id th e n a t i o n a l c h a m p i o n s h i p hopes of the Irish, as they fell to the 11th spot in the AP poll (14th in the USA Today/Coaches’ Poll).

And yet aga in , the 29-16 loss to Ohio S t a t e c a m e a t h o m e in S ep tem ber , a la Michigan in 1994 and Northwestern in 1995.

“Unfortunately, w e’ve been in this s i tu a t io n b e f o r e , ” s e n io r ta i lback Randy Kinder said. “W e’ve had our hopes dashed before.”

But not since the 1990 Penn State loss has Notre Dame been so domi­n a te d (6.2 y a rd s p e r play for the Buckeyes co m pared to ju s t 3.8 for the Irish) in all aspects of the game, particularly the line of scrimmage.

“T h ey b l i tze d a n d b r o u g h t e v ­erybody and wo couldn’t get it (the pass) off,” Notre Dame coach Lou l lo l tz s a id . “T h e b e t t e r fo o tb a l l team won the gam e.”

Offensive line fails to find answer for Buckeye defenseBy JO E VILLINSKIAssociate S ports E d ito r

N o tr e D a m e c e n t e r R ick Kaczenski walked out of a visi­bly shaken Irish locker room on Saturday and calmly discussed why Ohio State dom ina ted the line of scrim m age dur ing their 29-16 victory.

R e p o r te r s q u e s t io n e d if the c o n s t a n t B u c k e y e b l i t z i n g caused a problem or why q u a r ­terback Ron Powlus w as under h e a v y p r e s s u r e t h e e n t i r e game.

For Kaczenski, the questions b ro u g h t to light only one rea l problem.

“W e j u s t d i d n ’t p la y N o tre Dame football and th a t ’s it,” he said. “T h e r e ’s no excuses for w h y w e lo s t . Any t e a m c a n throw anything at us and w e ’re s u p p o s e d to be p r e p a r e d . W e’re Division I football players and we should be p rep a re d to pick any of tha t stuff up .”

T h a t s tu f f in c lu d ed a qu ick defensive a t tac k th a t pu t con ­s t a n t p r e s s u r e on th e N o tre D a m e o f f e n s e a n d e x p o s e d w e a k n e s s e s a lo n g th e I r i s h offensive line. The Irish w ere unable to take advantage of the cons tan t m an-to -m an coverage and paid with the loss. With co n s tan t Buckeye pene tra t ion ,

The Observer/Dave MurphyFor the first time this season, Autry Denson was unable to jump start the Irish offense. The tailback was held to just 55 yards on 19 carries.

the backfield also encountered trouble establishing the run.

When the Irish did break the line of scrimmage, Ohio S tate’s impressive tackling ability kept N otre D am e from b r e a k in g a long run . The la rges t gain of the gam e from the Irish b ac k ­field came on n ine-yard ja u n ts by A u t r y D e n s o n a n d M a rc Edwards.

“We d idn’t open the holes for th e b a c k s , ” K a c z e n s k i s a id . “We had to rely on the passing gam e, an d in college football you c a n ’t pas s and win. You have to be able to contro l the l in e o f s c r i m m a g e a n d w e didn’t do tha t offensively.”

To put the inefficiency of the ru n n in g gam e in pe rspec t ive , Powlus led the Irish in rushing at halftime with 28 yards. The Irish also had 23 running plays o f tw o y a r d s o r le s s . N o tre D am e f in is h e d th e h a l f w ith only 51 y a r d s on th e g ro u n d and 126 for the game.

“Offensively, par t icu larly the f irs t half, they co n tro l led the l in e o f s c r i m m a g e , ” N o t re D am e h e a d c o a c h Lou H oltz sa id . “T hey b li tzed an d they brought everybody and we had trouble getting it off.”

“W e c a m e w ith a lo t m o re b litzes and t r ie d to keep him (Powlus) a little off balance and th a t ’s out of respect to him, as a foo tba l l p l a y e r , ” h e a d c o a ch John Cooper said.

“It (blitzing) confused us and it s h o u l d n ’t h a v e , ” t a i l b a c k Randy Kinder said. “We p ra c ­tice and p r e p a re for any th ing a n d for so m e r e a s o n we ju s t c o u l d n ' t g e t t h i n g s r o l l in g today.”

The Observer/M ike RumaFullback Marc Edwards and the Irish running attack failed to break any run longer than nine yards while averaging less than three yards a carry against the Buckeyes.

W h e n a s k e d w h a t a d j u s t ­m e n t s t h e I r i s h m a d e to c o u n te r the c o n s ta n t blitzing, P o w lu s r e s p o n d e d , “N ot th e r ight ones.” The Irish q u a r te r ­back was sacked four times and h a d B u c k ey e s in h is fac e on seemingly every play.

Holtz admitted after the game t h a t h e d id n o t r e c o g n i z e a B u c k e y e d e f e n s e t h a t m a d e s e r i o u s c h a n g e s b e f o r e t h e game.

“W hat they did the first two games was m uch different than this ,” Holtz said. “They d id n ’t blitz. They d id n ’t do anything t h a t we sa w h e re today . We tried to m ake some adjustm ents at halftime give us a chance to

win, bu t the be t te r team won.”“We w an te d to a t tack a little

m o r e in t h e s e c o n d h a l f , ” Powlus said. “We tried to run a t th e m m o re , b u t they w ere sw arm ing us and we ju s t d idn’t r espond ,” Kinder said.

The Irish m a d e som e strides a t t a c k in g in th e s e c o n d half, but could not dig out of the first h a l f h o le . O h io S t a t e All- A m e r i c a n c a n d i d a t e s M ike Vrabel and Matt Finkes created h a v o c on t h e d e f e n s iv e l ine , w h i le f r e e s a f e t y R ob Kelly spen t m ost of his time charging th rough the Irish front.

“We could not get any move­m en t on them up inside,” Holtz said.

Blitzkriegc o n t in u e d from p a g e 1

The Buckeye de fe n d e rs show ed they w e r e b e t te r t a c k l e r s t im e a n d t im e again, bringing down Irish ba l lca rr ie rs after ju s t 2.9 yards per carry.

D em e tr io u s S tan le y sh o w e d he w as fa s te r w hen he galloped 85 y a rd s on the opening kick-off to se t up an easy Ohio State touchdown.

Tackle Orlando Pace show ed he w as bigger, c r u s h in g ev e ry o n e in h is w ay and even pancaking Lyron Cobbins and d r iv e -b lo c k in g K innon T a tu m like he was a blocking sled - on the sam e play.

The Ohio State front seven showed it w as stronger, as they m a n h an d le d the I r ish offens ive f ro n t a n d tu r n e d Ron P o w lu s ( 1 3 -3 0 , 1 5 4 y a r d s , 2 in t . , 4 sacks) into their own tackling dummy.

Ohio S ta te e v e n s h o w e d th e y w e r e m ore p rep a red a n d sm arter , as the ir gam ep lan of blitzes, s tu n ts and twists baffled Notre Dame.

“Ohio State was as good of team as we have played in awhile,” Holtz admitted. “They do things you’re un p rep a red for.”

No one could have been p rep a re d for the d is a p p o in tm e n t th a t e n u s e d a f te r Denson, who broke his left index finger in the first half, broke free only to have the play called back on the hold.

“1 d idn’t think I did it, but I guess the ref did,” said Goode.

Although victim Antoine Winfield was u n l ik e ly to m a k e th e t a c k le , r e p la y s showed Goode did, in fact, have a sub ­stantial handful of shirt.

If the play stood, the Irish would have cut the lead to less th a n a touchdow n with 3:35 remaining.

“I looked back and saw the flag and tha t was it,” Holtz said.

“We sh o u ld n ’t have p u t ou rse lves in th a t pos t i t io n (to be t r a i l in g 2 9 -1 6 ) ,” fullback Marc Edw ards said. “They won the w ar in the t renches for 3 q u a r te rs and it was too late w hen we did.”

The Irish still had their chances.T ra i l in g 22-7 , N otre D am e took the

second-half kick-off and, on the s trength of a 34-yard Powlus-to-Em m ett Mosley strike, drove all the way to the OSU six- yard line. But a lack of run n in g room

on three straight tries doomed the drive to ju s t a 26-yard Jim Sanson field goal.

“Coming out and driving down and not getting a touchdwon was critical,” Holtz said.

A sim ilar and ju s t as im p o r ta n t of a drive cam e midway through the fourth quar te r . After taking over 6 minutes off th e clock by m a r c h in g 68 y a r d s , th e Irish succumbed to the intense Buckeye r u s h , as on 4 th an d 11, Powlus w as forced to unload a pass to Denson short of the first down m arker.

“He (P o w lu s ) w a s d e f in i t e ly d i s ­t raugh t ,” Buckeye safety Damon Moore said.

T hat w as John Cooper’s strategy.“We controlled the tempo and put a lot

of p r e s s u r e on P ow lus ,” sa id Cooper. “We had to keep him off balance.”

P o w l u ’s p la y w a s g r i t t y , b u t n o t enough.

W hile Ohio S ta te h a d r e c e iv e rs like S ta n le y a n d M ic h ae l W iley ( 3 1 -y a rd reception to set up late first-half score), the lack of a deep th rea t to stretch the defense for Notre Dame w as never more apparent.

“We ju s t d idn’t m ake big plays,” Holtz said.

On v a r io u s occas ions , bo th Mosley and Malcolm Johnson had opportunities to make more plays, but neither consis­tently came through.

“ If we h a d D err ick M ayes, so m e of those plays Derrick Mayes m akes ,” Holtz

said.J u s t as the r e c e iv e rs failed to m ake

the key play, th e s e c o n d a ry fa i led to make the necessary tackles.

“We did not tackle particularly well.” Holtz unders ta ted .

In fact, P e a r s o n (29 c a r r ie s for 179 yards) b ro k e two ta c k le s to b r in g the Buckeyes to the goal-line with a 26-yard reception and tight end D.J. Jones broke Ja rv is E d ison ’ tack le a t te m p t to score th e g am e-c l in ch in g to u c h d o w n la te in the third quar te r .

The Irish, and the ir national cham pi­onship hopes, w ere never the same.

“The national cham pionship is done,” a red-eyed Powlus said outside the lock­e r room. “It’s over.”

■ G r a d e d p o s i t i o n a n a l y s i s

Quarterback BFinal numbers suggest worse, but Powlus did all

he could to lead an inept offense in the face of constant pressure. Second quarter interception was a costly setback.

Running Backs CIt’s hard to run when you don’t have holes, but

star-studded Irish backfield failed to live up to its lofty billing. Yet another fumble hurts the grade.

Receivers B-Buckeye defensive scheme gave them several

opportunities to make big plays, but they really didn’t. Lack of a deep threat was costly, and left Holtz lamenting Mayes’ graduation after game.

Offensive Line D+Unlike Buckeye line, the Irish looked flatter than

a Pace pancake. Their opposition was top-notch, but they simply weren’t prepared to face them.

Defensive Line BStellar play by both Wynn and Maiden was high­

light of this group. Dansby kept Pace’s normal serving of flapjacks to a short stack, but the big man still kept plenty cooking on the griddle for Pearson runs.

Linebackers BAccounted for both OSU turnovers, forcing a

fumble and a Tatum pick. Needed to apply more pressure; could not contain Jackson at key times.

Secondary C-Holtz may want to break out the tackling dum­

mies again for these guys. Several missed stops and failure to prevent third down conversions enabled OSU to establish momentum.

Special Teams B-Blocked a field goal, PAT and punt, but figured

since the opening kickoff against Purdue was so exciting, might as while try again. Then there’s the penalty on Denson’s return, but can’t cry over spilled milk.

Coaching C+Holtz took responsibility after the game for not

calling all the right plays for Powlus. Buckeyes’ revam ped defensive scheme also caught Irish coaching staff in the center of a blitzkrieg.

Overall Grade 2.43Holtz may have to keep these guys after school

following Saturday’s performance. If Irish can avoid any further breakdowns on the season, they may somehow find themselves near the head of the class.

Buckeyes’ ground attack proves to be too muchPearson 173 yards help OS destroy Irish defenseBy DYLAN BA RM M ERA ssistant S ports E d ito r_____________________

T h e w in d s of c h a n g e b lew th ro u g h N otre D am e S tad ium on Saturday. The storm tha t is Ohio S ta te b lew the I r ish off bo th l in e s o f s c r i m m a g e , destroying hopes and d ream s of Irish p la y e r s an d f a n s a l ike , devas ta t ing a team th a t cam e into th is g a m e look ing like it could w e a th e r ju s t a b o u t any storm.

And in the midst of the storm was one m a n , a m a n w ho on this day blew through the Irish defense like a gale-force wind.

H u r r i c a n e P e p e h i t S o u th B end on S a t u r d a y , a n d th e results were disastarous.

Ohio S t a t e t a i l b a c k P e p e Pearson took advantage of both an im m ense ly ta len ted o f fen ­sive line and his own consider­able ability, carrying the ball 29 t im es for 173 y a r d s an d two touchdow ns. P earson h im self am assed nearly 50 yards more th a n the e n t i r e Ir ish ru s h in g attack, and his gaudy num bers

The Observer/Dave MurphyOSU running back Pepe Pearson looked like the second coming of Eddie George on Saturday, carrying the ball 29 times for 173 yards while adding two receptions for 42 yards. He also collected a pair of touchdowns in the first half.

c a m e a g a in s t a r u s h d e fe n se tha t had been allowing jus t 60 yards a gam e in the ir first threegames.

“Pope’s playing like I said he was going to play,” commented Ohio State coach John Cooper. “We've had a lot of g rea t r u n ­ning backs a t Ohio State. We lost Eddie last year, and Pepe’s s tepped in, and I th ink P ep e ’s done a g rea t job .”

The Eddie to whom Cooper is r e f e r r i n g to is Eddie George. You may have heard of him, he won the H eism an T rophy last season.

Pearson’s heroics also includ­ed two recep tions for a team - high 42 y a r d s , one of w h ich c a m e in O hio S t a t e ’s b a c k ­breaking six play, 84 yard scor­in g d r iv e in t h e w a n i n g m o m e n t s o f th e f i r s t h a l f .

Pearson almost single handedly led the Buckeyes down the field on tha t drive, accounting for 53 total yards and the touchdown which put the Buckeyes up 22- 7.

While it can be a rg u e d th a t he is more the beneficiary of a trem endous offensive line than a g a m e - b r e a k i n g b a c k , P e a r s o n ’s qu ick a c c e le ra t io n and dance-hall moves d idn’t fail

to im p r e s s eve ry o n e , bo th on the field and off.

“ H e ’s d e f in i te ly a n e lu s iv e b a c k ,” sa id N otre D am e l in e ­backer Bert Berry. “He’s quick, a b l e to f in d h o l e s a n d g e t th ro u g h th e m with his q u ic k ­ness. He had a g rea t offensive line b lock ing for h im , and he w as able to do the things th a t he needed to do to win .”

While Pearson and his offen­sive t e a m m a te s did th e i r job , the re will be many who will say t h a t t h e I r i s h d e f e n s e a s a whole w ere som ew hat neglect­ful of their duties.

“In the firs t half, w hen they did get into the secondary , we didn’t tackle particularly well,” sa id a f ru s t ra te d Lou Holtz in one of h is t r a d e m a r k u n d e r ­sta tements .

"You know , y o u ' r e go ing to m is s s o m e t a c k l e s up f ro n t , s i n c e y o u ’r e g e t t i n g o ff o f blocks, etc. But we missed a lot of tackles in the secondary .”

“I think the main story of the w ho le g am e w a s th a t we ju s t m i s s e d t a c k l e s , ” s a id I r i s h de fensive end Ronaldo Wynn. “It seem s like a lot of times, we had th e m dow n and they ju s t broke a lot of tackles. The guy (P e a r so n ) is an e lus ive back , real fast. We ju s t d idn’t tackle as well as wc needed to tackle. He’s a g rea t runn ing back, but we m is sed a lot of tack le s on h im .”

It’s not often easy, to contain a hurr icane . You try to do so, an d you m igh t ju s t get blown away.

Insightcontinued from page 1

Simply put, the relative silence of the home crowd contributed tow ard the loss on Saturday.

It is really fascinating. People who have g rad u ­ated from Notre Dame, who helped com prise a perennially loud s tu d en t body, who yell a t the ir televisions and have perfected the a r t of arm chair q u a r te rb a c k in g , sudden ly t r a n s fo rm into bench po ta toes upon e n te r in g R ockne 's House. W hen things got tough in the fourth quarte r, people who profess a deep love for and faith in ND began to file out as if the game was over. W hat was the p rob­lem? Did they already feel the need to drown their so rrow s and th ink up crafty w ays th a t the Irish could still win the National Championship?

I cannot help but fume w hen I w onder if som e­day I will feel tha t getting a ticket in the alumni lot­tery and racking up a $200 tab a t the bookstore makes me a fan.

I have to say this for the OSU folks: they didn’t let playing on the road affect their obnoxious mentali­ty. While I don’t condone obnoxious behavior, the re d -c la d fan s s t a r t e d loud an d s ta y ed loud. 1 would not say tha t they took over our Stadium, but they certainly tried.

Notre Dame, students, staff, and fans alike may e x u d e c l a s s , b u t w hy m u s t t h i s c o m e a t th e expense of noise when the opponent has the ball, no m a tte r w here they are on the field?

Perhaps I am being too critical. Yes, there were some folks left in the Stadium at the end. And by the end, th e re really w a s n ’t much to be excited about. But w hen the gam e was still on the line and one m om entum switch could have made the differ­ence, is it not the job of the fans to help make tha t happen? Can our fans say tha t they gave as much of themselves as they expected from the team?

O th e r s c h o o ls s h o u ld f e a r c o m in g in to o u r Stadium to play. Its history alone should not be counted upon to intimidate the opposition; a loud and excited Irish home crowd should help fill that role. I have heard comments from players about how we have a “dead crow d.” How can we expect ou r team to e n te r hostile env ironm en ts such as those they have encountered in Texas, Ohio State, and Boston College territory if we cannot provide a s im ilar a tm o sp h e re ? Our S tad ium r igh t now is smaller than most, but does this mean tha t intensi­ty should go out the window? Once we add 20,000 more seats, are things necessarily going to get bet­ter? We w on’t be accepting 20,000 more students who actually cheer, w e ’ll be giving m ore alumni the chance to come and maybe m ake some noise.

The s tudent body can only do so much. But it was the collective voice of the students tha t forced an Ohio State time-out because their quarte rback w asn ’t heard by his receivers. So it is obvious that a good crowd does affect the game.

Perhaps w hat we can do is speak to family and f r ie n d s . We ca n toll th e m t h a t th e y a r c only allowed in our House if they are willing to make a difference.

Maybe we should tea r the benches out so tha t everybody has to stand.

The Observer/Mike RumaNotre Dame tailback Randy Kinder's second quarter fumble was one reason why the Irish were unable to get anything going offensively in the first half. On the day, Kinder rushed for just 20 yards on seven carries.

BLOCK THAT KICKThe Irish kick defense tu rn ed in an

incredible first-half perform ance in the loss to Ohio State. After su rrender ing an early touchdown to open the sco r­ing, the Irish b locked an Ohio S ta te PAT. Soon after, a muffed snap on the p a r t of the Buckeyes led to a blocked punt by Bert Berry. The blocked punt left ju s t a field goal block in o rder to pull off the tr ip le play.

*2 Days* Pulped With Good StuffBy JO SH BECKA ccent M ovie C ritic

With e n t h e m o v ie P u lp F i c t i o n ’ f i r s t a p p e a re d in th e a te rs , people had no id e a of w h a t w as in s to re for them . Occasional rem arks such as “Oh, look, they brought Travolta back” or “God,

w h a t is t h a t g r o w in g o u t o f S a m u e l L. J a c k s o n ' s head?" might have been potential reactions to w hat everyone saw in the previews, but no one really knew what to expect. The only exceptions w ere of course the d ie -h a rd Quentin T a ren t in o fans who had seen ‘Reservoir Dogs’ and his other films before then. The phenom ena l success of Pulp F ic tion’ w as b ro u g h t about by its abrasive, sometimes shocking style tha t is Taren tino’s tradem ark . Movie-goers gobbled it up like Fat Albert a t an all-you-can-eat buffet.

Of course, we all know w hat happens to most good things that have achieved success: others try to copy it. Before “2 Days in the Valley” was re leased on Friday, there really h a d n ’t been another flick like “Pulp.” This a lready posed a po ten ­t ia l p r o b le m fo r th e m ovie r e v ie w e r , s ince he would have to most certainly co m p are it to Taren tino’s masterpiece b ecause of the s im ila r s ty l e s . So w h e n I walked into “2 Days,” 1 already had a notion of what it was I would be viewing. I turned out to be right.

Like “Pulp ,” this film doesn 't co n c en t ra te on o n e p lo t ; r a t h e r , it delves into a p le thora of subplots th a t som ehow connect at one time or another. This takes the a t ten t io n off the gam e plan and puts it on the s e p a ra te p layers , so to speak, since each c h a r ­a c te r is a plot in h im ­self. T h is a d d s up to m a n y c h a r a c t e r s a n d h e n c e , a m u l t i tu d e of plots as well. The best way to view this film is to let it take you on its ow n r id e , w h ich will focus more on c h a ra c ­ter development ra the r th a n o n e g i a n t p lo t .T h is ty p e o f m o v ierequires good acting, and just like Pulp Fiction,' this movie takes le s se r s t a r s an d m a k e s th e m golden. Danny Aiello, Ja m es Spader, fori Hatcher, and Eric Stoltz head up an underra ted all-star cast.

Describing all the plots of “2 Days” would be ju s t as difficult as lining out Ross P e ro t ’s p residen tia l p la t­form. It would also take up a lot of space. It’s better ju s t to give you the initial se tting and let the movie take ca re of the res t . The movie, of co u rse , takes place in the Valley, though which valley is never told. An assassin (Jam es S pader) is h ired by an Olympic gym nas t (Tori H a tcher ) to kill h e r h u s b a n d (P e te r Horton). The assass in picks out a w ashed -up pizza m aker (Danny Aiello) as the m an who takes the fall for the hit and then mysteriously dies afte rw ards. After the husband is killed, the assassin and his girlfriend (Charlize Theron) try to blow up the fall guy but are unsuccessful. The pizza m aker escapes and finds his

“2 Days in the Valley” closely follows the style of “Pulp Fiction,” but has its own thrilling quality.

way to the house of a loud and obnoxious des igner (Greg Cruttwell) and his timid and apologetic secretary (Glenne Headly).

Meanwhile, on the o ther side of the Valley, two vice cops (Jeff Daniels and Eric Stoltz) a re trying to bust an Orienta l m a ssa g e p a r lo r for p rosti tu t ion . And in a cemetery in ano ther p a r t of town, a w ashed-out d irec­tor (Paul Mazursky) is about to kill himself before r u n ­ning into a nurse (Marsha Mason). The movie goes on its m erry way from there, and all the plots somehow tie together at the end.

Each ch a rac te r is his own plot. Seen through this spec if ic le n s , th e m ovie is m u c h m o r e en jo y ab le . Unlike “P u lp ,” th is film follows a specific o r d e r of events ra th e r than flashing back to previous ones and som ehow cre a t in g cohe rence . This m akes it m uch e a s ie r to view and u n d e r s ta n d , a l th o u g h 1 h a v e n ’t h e a rd m any people com pla in ing th a t they c o u ld n ’t com prehend “Pulp Fiction.” This movie also shoots off in different directions at times, creating new dialogue th a t d ev ia te s from w h a t we u n d e r s ta n d a b o u t the plots. And ju s t as in “Pulp,” the music helps the movie

considerably . The songs a r e d a rk ly m e lo d ic and b lu e sy an d th e y h e lp to tap into the dark na tu re of the film.

T he g r e a t th in g a b o u t this film is th a t it is very s i m i l a r to th e ty p e of movie th a t Pulp F iction’ is. On the other hand, it is not as upbeat or original. W h i le ‘2 D a y s ’ is s u s ­pe n s e fu l , n o th in g rea l ly h a p p e n s t h a t co u ld n o t have been spotted ahead of time. For most people, t h e i d e a t h a t a n y t h i n g could happen a t any time in a movie is different and therefore more appealing. T h e d i r e c t o r , J o h n Herzfeld, has been around aw h i le a n d is e v id e n t ly b r e a k i n g n e w g r o u n d . Too bad th a t it’s not really new.

T h is m o v ie is b le s s e d w ith an u n d e r r a te d ca s t th a t d isplays s tu p e n d o u s acting. Spader is chilling in the role of the sadistic

assassin, Aiello is fine as the u n s u s p e c t in g p izza man, and Stoltz is stellar as a vice-cop w ho’s been a r o u n d too long . T h e

other perform ances a re good, but the surprising and maybe best one is given by Jeff Daniels, who is superb as the loud and abrasive p a r tn e r of Stoltz. Another good showing is produced by the newcom er Charlize Theron , who is ex trem ely seductive and devious as Spader’s girlfriend and p ar tn e r in crime.

All in all, this movie isn ’t “Pulp Fiction,” bu t hey, w hat film could ever be? In addition, I don’t think it tries to be like it as much as it ju s t borrows the style. The movie is good in its own right. Its beginning will grab you and keep you there until the end of the film. The acting is superb , and the film is directed with a sense tha t while it may not be as original as it could be, it still has a flair for the unexpected. And since this is only ju s t one of the few movies of this type tha t has surfaced, th e re ’s always room for improvement. The best may be yet to come, but “Pulp Fiction” and ”2 Days in the Valley” provide a good start.

Hi Days fans! We trus t th a t yofi’ve all been w atch ­ing the sands flow through the hourglass .. .but in case you’re depending on us to keep you informed, we need to clear up a ru m o r we m entioned in last w eek ’s a r t i ­cle. As correspondents deeply concerned with relay­ing the tru th to you, we did som e m ore rese a rch into Melissa R eeves’ (the OLD Je n n ife r 's ) a l leged r e tu rn and the d e p a r tu re of Ja so n Brooks from his role as Peter. While Brooks’ role could go e i ther way. Reeves is definitely not re tu rn ing to portray Jenn ife r Horton any time soon. So for now, it looks like w e 're stuck with the space cadet they cast in h e r place.

Austin red eem ed h im self this w eek as his Captain Clueless qualities took the back b u rn e r to his love for Carrie . W hen Carrie finally convinced him th a t he needed to m a rry Sami for Will’s sake, Austin had no p rob lem s r ep e a te d ly telling Sami how m u c h he did NOT love her . During the wedding ceremony, Austin pulled som e stud m oves a s he looked a t Carr ie the en t i re tim e, re fu sed to say S am i’s n a m e d u r in g the vows, and shot down Sam i’s idea to use Carr ie ’s ring. Our new fearless Austin even derailed Sam i’s trick of getting into the show er with him as Carrie w as on her w ay over to th e i r h o te l room . T h e F re n c h Jus t ice System, w hich w a s n ’t fooled by th e fake m a rr ia g e , th rea tened to m ake the newlyweds stay in F rance for six m onths to prove their commitment. With Mickey, Lexy, Austin , and C a rr ie f igh ting the j u d g e ’s p lan , Sami w en t stra igh t to the source to ask the judge to dem and th a t they stay. Did no one consider the fact th a t it takes two for a divorce before Sami and Austin tied the knot?

The trip of Jack, Laura, and Celeste continued f ram ­ing Daniel this week during a liigh-stakes poker game. Daniel’s deb ts w ere due to be paid the day af te r he lost all of his money to Jack. The only problem was th a t Jack and L aura missed Daniel’s despera te phone call.

With his pas t rapidly catching up to him, Peter final­ly convinced Jen th a t it w as time for their six-month cruise a round the world on his yacht. As added incen­tive, Peter is flying Abby to Paris so she can join them. Aun t Maggie h a s th e h o n o r of flying o v e rse as with Abby—a good tiling since the cast in Paris w as s ta r t ­ing to dwindle.

John, Kristen, and M arlena m ade the ir appearance a t Sam i and A u s t in ’s w edd ing . I ron ical ly enough , John condem ned S am i’s ac tions by denounc ing any wom an who uses a baby to keep a m an aw ay from his t r u e love. W ake up from y o u r hypno tic s ta te and smell the coffee, John—Sami and Kristen have a BIT more in com mon than you realize.

F r a n c o ’s r e t u r n to Sa lem s e n t Bo over th e edge when it w as revealed th a t he and Billie dated while in Europe . As if it w e r e n ' t b a d enough w h en F ranco took Billie home, he then broke into h e r apa r tm en t in an a t t e m p t to c o n v i n c e h e r to s e e h im a g a in . However, the “new m em ories” Franco promised Billie might not be as positive as the ones of Bo she w ants to r e p la c e . H id d en b e h in d t h a t e x a g g e r a t e d a c c e n t seems to be the mind, of a m adm an , and h e ’s got the b a n d a g e d w r i s t s to p ro v e it. J i l l ’s se c o n d a t ta c k s t ru ck Bo as too coincidental to be ignored. In the m id s t of H ope’s defense of F ranco , Bo h a s becom e o b se s se d w ith p ro v in g th e I ta l ia n S ta ll ion is J i l l ’s at tacker. Mr. Mighty Mouse Bo needs to take a break from saving all these w om en in distress and r e m e m ­ber th a t h e ’s supposed to be p lanning a wedding.

In the world of the Port, Lois left Ned. He's devastat­ed; Brenda is terrified tha t if Ned and Lois c a n ’t m ake it work out, then there is no chance for h e r and Jax. Don’t worry, the Aussie assures her, nobody leaves— ever. As for Sonny’s reaction , well, if I w ere Jax or Tracy, I’d s ta rt locking my door and watching my back ‘cause Sonny’s gonna ice ’em.

Brenda asks Jax to back off; he responds with the story of his childhood, spent in a car, fishing for dinner with bent paperclips (well, a t least now we know why he loves o y s te r s so m u c h — less e ffort) .

He tells Edward h e ’ll sign the contract, but reserves the r ight to b reak it a t any time; then, he calls a board meeting. Ned offers to buy Sonny out, but once Brenda tells him about Lois being run out of town, he vows to stay and fight.

Scuffles, ejection turns Pittsburgh blowout sourBy ALAN R O B IN S O NA ssociated Press W rite r

PITTSBURGHThe Houston Oilers lost the ball, their

tem p ers and the gam e. They p u t up a go o d f ig h t a g a i n s t P i t t s b u r g h e v ­erywhere but the scoreboard , w here the Steelers still own the AFC Central.

The Oilers, overly eager to s tand up to the defending AFC champions, com m it­ted four crit ical first-half m is takes tha t led to S tee le rs sco res , and P i t tsb u rg h again dominated Houston 30-14 Sunday behind Mike T om czak’s two f i rs t -q u a r ­te r touchdown passes.

Houston lost th r e e fum bles an d two s t a r t i n g d e f e n s i v e b a c k s , M a r c u s R obe rtson a n d D arry l l Lewis, bo th to f ighting-re la ted ejections. Coaches Jeff F ish e r an d Bill C o w h e r tw ice h e lp e d b reak up fights, and several fans even tried mixing it up with the Oilers.

" T h a t 's w h a t h a p p e n s w h en you pu t some revved-up m en out the re and the horm ones s ta r t flowing,” Steelers l ine­backer Levon Kirkland. “They cam e out talking, bu t if you’re going to ta lk the talk, you’ve got to walk the walk. W e’re n o t go ing to b ac k d o w n a g a in s t a n y ­body”

The Oilers cam e out with an excellent gam e p lan . T h e n P i t t sb u rg h r a n it to perfection. Houston w an te d to ru n the ball, stay close and let q u a r te rback Mike T om czak b e a t h im se lf w ith m is tak e s . Instead, P it tsburgh’s Je rom e Bettis r a n for 115 yards in his third stra igh t 100- y a r d g a m e a n d H o u s t o n ’s C h r is

C hand le r th re w two in te rcep t ions and lost a fumble.

T h e O ile rs m a y h av e c a m e o u t too exc ited . T hey c o m m itted two of th e i r f ive t u r n o v e r s a n d h a d a f ie ld g o a l blocked in the first half, when Steelers defensive end B ren tson Buckner could be h e a r d yelling to Eddie George, the H e i s m a n T r o p h y w i n n e r f ro m O hio State, “You’re not running against Iowa any m ore .”

“ It’s an emotional game, but you have to unders tand how im portant it is to stay com posed,” Robertson said. “We played with them physically, bu t they b e a t us mentally. W e’ve got to learn from this .”

Despite disruptive injuries to defensive s ta r s Greg Lloyd and Ray Seals and a s u c c e s s i o n o f r o s t e r c h a n g e s , t h e S tee lers (3-1) have w on th ree s t ra ig h t s in c e a s e a s o n - o p e n i n g lo s s to Jacksonville.

The Oilers (2-2) m issed a c h a n ce to ta k e the d iv is ional lead and have lost five stra igh t to Pittsburgh and seven of nine overall.

“ Houston always does a lot of talking, but we didn’t get caught up in it,” cor- n e r b a c k W illie W ill iam s sa id . “ T hey w anted to prove something to us, bu t we h a v e s o m e th in g to p rove , too. W e ’ve m ade a lot of changes, but i t’s all about getting down to business and doing the job .”

T om czak eventua lly gave H ouston a chance , th ro w in g an in te rcep t ion th a t Lewis r e tu r n e d 36 y a rd s for a to u c h ­dow n in th e th i rd q u a r te r . T he sco re cam e only 2:21 after Chandler’s 4-yard

to u c h d o w n p a s s to W illie D avis an d briefly cut P ittsburgh’s lead to 20-14.

But Norm Johnson’s 36-yard field goal p u t P i t tsbu rgh up by n ine points , and Darren Perry finished off the Oilers with a 13-yard interception re tu rn with 5:17 rem aining to make it 30-14.

" H o u s t o n ’s a g o o d t e a m . T h e y ’re go ing to ge t in y o u r face a n d c r e a te some havoc,” said Tomczak, 15-for-28 for 202 yards and two touchdowns.

Mostly, th e Oilers c r e a te d p rob lem s for themselves.

M el G ra y f u m b l e d r o o k ie S h a y n e E d g e ’s f irs t NFL p u n t on th e open ing series, and Tom czak cam e back to hit Kordell S tewart on a 16-yard touchdown p a s s on th e n ex t play w ith only 1:50 gone.

Two plays la ter, George, who finished with 47 yards, fumbled, and the Steelers tu rned tha t into Johnson’s 33-yard field goal.

Then, one play after Buckner blocked A1 Del G r e c o ’s 4 7 - y a r d f ie ld g o a l a ttem pt, Tomczak abandoned his usual d i n k - a n d - d u n k s ty l e to h i t C h a r l e s Johnson on a 62-yard scoring pass play to m ake it 17-0 with only 7:36 gone.

Lewis seemed in perfect position along th e O i le r s ’ s id e l in e s to b r e a k up the pass, but Johnson leaped above him to m ake the catch and shook off one other tackier on the S teelers’ longest pass play this season.

T h e g a m e b e f o r e , a p l a y - i t - s a f e T o m c zak t r ie d no p a s s lo n g e r th a n 6 yards.

The Oilers had one m ore critical m is­

“You let him (Tomczak) get up by 17- 20 points, he 's ju s t going to feed his ru n ­ning backs and have conservative pass rou tes ,” Lewis said. “ He d idn’t have to m a k e an y th in g h ap p e n . It w ou ld have been different if it w ere 0-0 or we had been winning.”

Or, if Tom czak had b een e jec ted for f ig h t in g w i th R o b e r t s o n in th e th i r d quarte r.

As Tomczak wrestled Robertson to the t u r f a f t e r a n a p p a r e n t f u m b le , Robertson nearly ripped Tom czak’s hel­m e t off. R o b e r t s o n w a s t o s s e d , b u t Tomczak stayed in.

“ If you eject one guy, eject them both. But you c a n ’t b ab y -c ak e the q u a r t e r ­b a c k s , ’’ O i le r s l i n e b a c k e r M ic h e a l B arrow said. “ It’s no sec re t I ha te the Steelers. This is the team th a t w en t to the Super Bowl."

Gwynn earns batting crown, Padres secure playoffsBy KEN PETERSA ssociated Prfess W rite r

LOS ANGELES T ony G w ynn c o n s i d e r e d it

such a wonderful day tha t w in­ning his seventh NL batting title seemed almost a footnote.

His team , the long-suffering San Diego Padres, won the NL W est for the f i rs t t im e in 12 years with a th ree-gam e sweep of Los Angeles to end the re g u ­lar season.

His brother, Chris, who h ad a m o s t ly d i s a p p o i n t i n g y e a r , c a p p ed the P a d r e s ' d r a m a t i c com eback with a p inch , two- run double in the 11th inn ing Sunday to beat the Dodgers 2-0

and clinch the division title.“ I’m m o re happy with Chris

g e t t in g th e big h it t h a n I am w i n n i n g t h e b a t t i n g t i t l e , " Tony, soaked with cham pagne a n d b e a m i n g , s a i d o f h is younger brother. “ I hate to say it, but I’ve won it six times, so it’s kind of old hat.

" S o m e t h i n g l ik e th i s d a y , w hen we won the division and my bro ther got the big hit, tha t w ill p r o b a b l y n e v e r h a p p e n a g a i n . ”

Gwynn, who went 0-for-4 and finished a t .353, officially won the bat t ing title despite falling four plate appearances short of the 502 required.

The rules require an average

of 3.1 appearances per game to q u a l i f y , b u t b e c a u s e o f a n injury tha t sidelined him for 31 g a m e s , G w ynn f in ish e d w ith 498.

H o w e v e r , t h e r e is a n e x ­ception to the rules th a t allows players who fall short of quali­fy in g to be c r e d i t e d w i th enough hitless at-bats to reach the m in im u m if it still leaves them above the highest qualifi­er.

With an ex tra 0-for-4, Gwynn w o u ld be a t .349 . T h a t to p s E ll i s B u r k s o f t h e C o lo ra d o Rockies, who led qual if iers a t .344 , a n d th e D o d g e r s ’ Mike Piazza, next at .336.

In the first time the rule has

b e e n a f a c to r in th e m a jo r s , Gwynn took th e t i t le a n d his .353 a v e ra g e will go in to the books.

“ Rules a re rules. He won the ti t le , a n d so m u c h for t h a t , " P ia z z a s a id . “ I ’m n o t d i s a p ­pointed. I’m proud of my year. Down the s tre tch , I r an out of gas a little bit.”

B u r k s s a id h e w a s d i s a p ­pointed tha t he fell short.

“ I r e a l ly d o n ’t u n d e r s t a n d w h a t w en t into d e te rm in in g it and how Tony was eligible,” he said. “ But h e ’s an ou ts tanding hitter. It is fun to be cha lleng­ing a guy like tha t for the b a t­ting title.”

Gwynn would have p referred

to win the batting title without having to add the phan tom at- bats, but a frayed right Achilles t e n d o n s i d e l in e d h im fo r 31 gam es in July and early August.

" I feel for Mike a n d E ll is ,” Gwynn sa id . " T h e y ’ve ba t t led a l l y e a r lo n g , a n d if y o u ’re going to win one, th a t ’s the way you’d like to do it. But it’s out of my h an d s . I t ’s not a s i tua tion w e r e I h a v e an y co n t ro l . I t ’s ju s t the way it is .”

G w y n n j o i n e d R o g e r s Hornsby, Stan Musial and Rod Carew with his seventh batting crown. The only NL player who w o n m o r e is H o n u s W a g n e r , w i th e ig h t . Ty Cobb to p s the major league list with 12.

Struggling Cowboys to face tough Eagle squad

Jaeger gets revengeBy JO H N F. B O N FA T T IA ssociated Press W rite r

PHILADELPHIATheir s ta r wide receiver and

t ig h t en d a r e m is s in g . T h e i r s ta r running back and q u a r te r ­back a re b an g e d up. And the S u p e r Bowl c h a m p io n D allas Cowboys are reeling from a 1-3 start.

All of which doesn’t stop the Philade lph ia Eagles, who face NFC E a s t r i v a l D a l l a s on Monday night, from saying nice things about the Cowboys.

D espite all th e p ro b le m s in Dallas, the Eagles (3-1) have a g e n u i n e r e s p e c t fo r t h e Cowboys, who have won nine of t h e i r l a s t 11 g a m e s a g a i n s t P h i l a d e l p h i a , i n c l u d i n g a n em phatic 30-11 victory in the playoffs last year.

" A n y t im e i t ’s t h e D a l l a s Cowboys, y o u ’ve got to sit up a n d l i s t e n , ” w id e r e c e i v e r Irving Fryar said. “They've had som e m is h a p s on an d off the field, but they’re a g rea t te am .”

T he Cowboys w e r e a g r e a t team over the pas t four years, w h e n th e y w o n t h r e e S u p e r Bowls. And they still may be a g rea t team — but they certainly a re n ’t playing like one, par t icu ­larly on offense.

“You canno t lose the ta lents of Michael and Jay and say it’s not going to effect your te am ,” Aikman said.

Still, he said, “ Regardless of who w e ’ve got ou t th e re ... if we p e r f o r m b e t t e r t h a n th e way we have, w e’re not too far off from being 3-1, and t h a t ’s even after playing as poorly as we have .”

T h e r e c e i v i n g c o r p s to o k another hit in last w eek ’s 10-7 defeat a t Buffalo with the loss of la s t y e a r ’s o t h e r s t a r t i n g wide receiver, Kevin Williams. Also, Aikman w as w hacked on the last play in th a t game and his ankle is sore.

Em m itt Smith, w ho has run for at least 90 yards in each of h is l a s t n in e g a m e s a g a i n s t Philadelphia, is also sore, with coach Barry Switzer saying he m a y h a v e to c u t d o w n on Smith’s workload.

“ I ju s t don ’t think h e ’s hitting on eight cylinders yet,” Switzer said. “And the offensive line is nicked up. W e’re playing no th ­ing like we did last year, knock­ing people out of there , running north and south .”

T h a t’s not w ha t Eagles coach Ray Rhodes said he saw w hen h e r e v i e w e d t a p e s o f t h e Cowboys’ offensive line.

“ T h e s e g uys a r e th e s a m e guys who blocked the heck out of everybody last y ea r ,” Rhodes said. “You see the sam e people knocking people’s butts off the ball.”

C o n t r o l l i n g t h e D a l l a s o f ­fensive and defensive lines will be th e b ig c h a l l e n g e for th e Eagles, who were overpowered up f ron t in la s t y e a r ’s playoff loss.

“ I’m sure Ray will mention to us tha t we have to out-physical these guys because they took it to us last yea r ,” Eagles center Raleigh McKenzie said. “ It’s a m e a su r in g s tick to see w h e re we are physically.”

While the Dallas offense has s p u t t e r e d , t h e C o w b o y s ’ d e fe n se r e m a in s fo rm id a b le , r a n k e d second in the league .

Switzer said talk about shoddy tackling refers mainly to th ree screen passes in the 25-24 loss to Indianapolis two weeks ago.

“We had nine missed tackles on those three plays alone,” he s a id . “ P eo p le r u n n i n g n o r th and south , we h a v e n ’t m issed a n y t a c k l e s . W e ’ve u s u a l l y sw arm ed pretty good.”

W hat they might not expect is a big gam e from speedy tight e n d J a s o n D unn . T he ro o k ie has c a u g h t only th r e e p a s se s this year, but two have gone for more than 50 yards.

“ I’m waiting to see him catch the short pass and run through some people,” Rhodes said.

Rhodes w as a n g ry la s t yea r when, after the playoff victory, Switzer g loa ted ab o u t kicking the Eagles around. Rhodes told his team not to talk about tha t s t a t e m e n t th is w ee k , b u t the Eagles haven ’t forgotten.

He k ic k ed fo u r field goa ls , including a 3 0 -yarder with 11 seconds left, to give the Chicago Bears a 19-17 victory over his former team.

The Bears (2-3) tra i led 17-3 in th e se co n d half, and w ere booed by th e i r fans. But they r a l l i e d b e h in d tw o i n t e r c e p ­tions, th re e f in a l -q u a r te r field goals by Jaeger and the play of 1 7 -y e a r v e t e r a n q u a r t e r b a c k D av e K r ie g , w h o s t a r t e d in p l a c e o f t h e i n j u r e d E r ik Kramer.

The R a iders (1-4) a re off to their w orst s ta r t since dropping the ir first four gam es in 1992. O a k la n d q u a r t e r b a c k J e f f H o s te t le r w as p icked off four times.

used his experience to work the clock and the field.

After th ree running plays, the final one losing th ree yards, the Bears called a timeout with 15 seconds rem aining to set up the winning kick.

J a e g e r , w ho k ic k ed fo r th e Raiders from 1989-95, adjusted to a low s n a p a n d d r o v e it through. Jaege r also had a 44- yarder in the first half and was good from 24 and 40 yards in th e f ina l q u a r t e r . Both k icks followed Chicago interceptions.

K rieg f in ish e d 16 of 30 for 190 y a rds , and H oste tle r w as 19 of 35 for 172.

The Raiders added to a 10-3 halftime lead on the ir first pos­s e s s io n of th e t h i r d q u a r t e r , m ov ing 70 y a r d s for a n o t h e r score.

On the nex t series , Krieg fi­nal ly co n v e r te d a th i rd dow n by hitting Ryan Wetnight with a 2 0 - y a r d p a s s . T h e n K r ie g

passed to Michael T impson for 28 to the Raiders’ 6, and after a penalty, Krieg hit S alaam with an 11-yard scoring pass.

The Raiders got going late in t h e s e c o n d q u a r t e r w h e n H o s t e t l e r h i t t h r e e s t r a i g h t passes. A nother toss of 10 yards to Hobbs and two penalties on Chicago pu t the ball on the 9. Jo e A s k a c a r r i e d fo r 8, a n d Derrick F e n n e r ’s 1-yard touch­down run gave the Raiders the lead with ju s t u n d e r two m in ­utes left in the half.
