Elections board reinsta

By KYLE FOSTER
Senior Staff Writer

The Student Government Associ-
ation reopened the door for Scott
Crosbic and Keith Sparks Friday to
become SGA president and vice
president, but another appeal is
threatening to slam it shut.

The two had been disqualified by
the SGA Elections Board Wednes-
day for alleged campaign violations.
then promptly reinstated when Elec-
tions Board Chair Greg Watkins ad-
mitted the board misinterpreted the
SGA consitution.

And while Watkins’ elections

board voted to reverse its decision
because it missed the five-day dead-
line to rule on complaints, the board
said late Friday it still believes the
C rosbie/Sparks ticket committed vi-
olations.

A day later, Amy Cooper, a can-
didate for vice president who fin-
ished second in the race alongside
Christa Collins, filed an appeal Sat-
urday with Judicial Board Chief
Justice Ken Walker saying the mat-
ter wasn’t over.

Whether the matter is resolved is
still in question. Discussion on the
matter escalated in the SGA office
Friday before Watkins made his an-

nouncement.

As the elections board went into
closed session, parties from both
sides gathered outside to listen to
what the elections board was going
to say.

The subject of the meeting was
no surprise to the 15 people, includ-
ing Crosbie‘s two attorneys. his fa-
ther and his student representative.
Cyndi Weaver, who said they feel
the two are being picked on.

Cooper was also present and wait-
ing with the others outside the
closed door.

ed to meet privately, Cooper. who

that the meeting be postponed until

Weaver, a former SGA president,
told her that Crosbie‘s attorneys
would not be speaking to the elec-
tions board members. therefore
Cooper did not need a attorney.
Weaver said she would question the
board about its actions leading up to
the disqualification of Crosbie/

Despite weather,
LKD successful

By NICK COMER
Staff Writer

The 1991 Little Kentucky Derby
weathered cold temperatures and
high Winds this past weekend, but
organizers of the event were pleased
with its success.

“I think the activities were excel-
lent," said Page Estes, president of
the Student Activies Board, which
sponsors LKD.

Nonetheless, Estes said she
thought cloudy skies and tempera
tures in the lower 50s had an ad-
verse effect on attendance.

“The weather kept the (atten-
dance) numbers down." she said.

The hot air balloon events, one of
the biggest draws for LKD, was
canceled because of high winds.

LKD traditionally features a se-
ries of balloon events such as the
“hare-and-hound“ event. Tethered
balloon rides had been scheduled
for Friday night.

Estes said about 1,000 people at—
tended Friday night‘s concert by the

Marshall Tucker Band.

Saturday night's Blue-White
Game succeeded in bringing quite a
few people to LKD. An estimated
10,000 people came out to cheer on
next year‘s Wildcat football team.

Estes said SAB and the UK Ath-
letics Department agreed last year to
coordinate the events.

During halftime, Andrea Webb
was presented as the 1991 LKD
queen. Webb was sponsored by
Kappa Alpha Theta social sorority.

Stacy Keith, sponsored by Delta
Delta Delta social sorority, and Jen-
nie Stewart. sponsored by Sigma
Chi social fraternity, were finalists
in the contest.

This year‘s LKD featured a new
event, the Grub Hub. which was
held in Clifton Circle Thursday and
Friday. The Grub Hub offered free
music by an Indianapolis band. Red
Beans and Rice, and events like a
volleyball tournament.

LKD was started in 1956 to pro-
vide scholarships funded by UK stu-
dents.

chair Watkins to postpone discus-
sion. while Crosbic told her to read

“You can go to Dairy Queen and
have a lawyer with you." Crosbic
blurted while Weaver explained to
Cooper why the attorneys were
present.

Cooper said she understood. but
still thought the situation was unfor-
tunate and unfair.

Weaver agreed with her on that
point, but for different reasons.
“The procedures of the elections
board are sloppy and they have read
ly been unconcerned with the seri»
ousness of the situanri." she said.

UK‘s Jeff Abbott slides into first base as LSU first baseman — blow-
ing a bubble — watches the errant throw go towards the dugout.

Riazzi lives up to predictions,
runs for two TDs, MVP award

By CHRIS HARVEY
Senior Staff Writer

You can add expert prognostica-
tor to the title of UK football coach
Bill Curry.

Before Saturday’s Bank One
Blue-White Game at Common-
wealth Stadium, Curry predicted
that White team tailback Matt Rizv-
7i would be the game's MVP.

Riazzi was just that as he scored
two touchdowns to lead the Whites
to a 26-16 victory over the Blues
before 10,800 fans.

“Matt was a very determined guy
today," said Curry, who watched
from the press box after turning
over the coaching duties to sports
writers from area newspapers. “He
usually runs against the first team
defense in practice. He’s talented
and he's improving."

Rial/.1, who returned a punt 57
yards for a second-quarter touch-
down and scampered 33 yards for a
fourth-quarter touchdown, gave a
lot of credit to the guys in the
trenches for his 132 all-purpose
yards.

“The holes just opened up real

big and there was some nice block-
ing,” said Riazzi, a 5-foot-7. 181-
pound walk—on from Kettering,
Ohio. “1 was just focusing on ball
security because Coach Curry likes
that.“

Curry also likes what he saw out
of fullback Terry Samuels. who
played some at tailback and led the
Blue ground attack with 46 yards on
eight carries.

“Terry is an outstanding football
player," Curry said. “You could line
him up anywhere and he could
probably do it -— but don‘t tell him
1 said that."

Freshman Clyde Rudolph led the
Whites in rushing with 62 yards on
11 carries. while Rial/.1 gained 61
on 7 tries,

Besides Ria/Ji's heroics, the
Blues hun their chances for a victo-
ry when they lost 5 of 7 fumbles
that both teams accounted for in the
contest.

“I wasn‘t pleased With the ball se-
curity." Curry said. “I hope that it
was largely because of the defense
and 1 think it was."

By TIM WIESENHAHN
Senior Staff Writer

As the wind chilled the crowd
and plummeted temperatures at
Shively Field yesterday, the Bat
Cats torched the Tigers of Louisiana
State University in a flame of preci-
sion pitching and heroic hitting,
winning the afternoon game 7-3 and
sweeping the three-game weekend
series.

Yesterday‘s win — coupled with
UK’s 17-7 and 11-7 victories on
Saturday -~ handed LSU its first se-
ries sweep since 1988. And UK
coach Keith Madison said he cher-
ished the three victories.

“We did a great job,” Madison
said. “I told my players after the
game that I‘ve been here for 13
years and of all the series, all the
conference series, this is the best
one we’ve ever played. We've got
the pitching we've got the hitting,
we put it all together and it was a
great series for us.”

UK players shared his satisfac-
tion.

“All year we’ve tried to keep a
balanced attitude — not get too
high or too low," said right fielder
Manny Cervantes. “Just try to keep
a level keel and not plan emotions
because emotions can let you down.
Really, what you have to do is exe-
cute, and this weekend we did."

Sophomore Mark Thompson
pitched a complete game, striking
out eight batters. Although Thomp—
son threw nearly 170 pitches. he
said he grew stronger with each in-
ning. Relying on his fast ball and

his slider, Thompson owned the
strike zone.

“I felt stronger, more or less,
from the sixth inning on then 1 did
earlier in the game." Thompson
said. “i felt like 1 got looser and got
good extension behind the ball. My
slider was really working and my
fast ball had good m0vement run-
ningin."

And the Cats’ hitting mirrored
Thompson's successful hitting
scoring runs early, and often.

“There's no explanation, Cer-
vantes said. “We didn‘t take it for
granted that they were a good ball
club. We took each pitch moment
by moment."

UK first baseman Mike Harris
opened the second inning with a
walk. Center fielder Jeff Abbott
promptly singled to left. moving
Harris to second base.

Harris moved to third base and
Abbott moved to second after LSU
pitcher Paul Byrd threw a wild
pitch. Cervantes then singled, scor-
ing Harris.

Third baseman Rick Nonon ~-
who broke the UK RBI record and

tied the school home run mark this
weekend m drew a base on balls

from Byrd and again loaded the bas-
es. After outfielder Steve Phillips
was called out on strikes, Byrd
tossed his second wild pitch. scor-
ing Abbott.

But the Cats melted LSU's hopes
in the fifth and eight innings with a
fury of hot bats.

Sophomore Paul Corum ignited
the fifth with singled to center field.
Cervantes promptly rifled ;1 1-0

blared over the Freedom Hall loud-

sportswriters) shouldn‘t judge in-

The numbers on the three highly—

Rugby team falls to arch-nemesis MTSU in final

By AL HILL
Senior Staff Writer

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. — Talk
of a rematch with Middle Tennessee
State University had been circling
around the UK Rugby team for two
weeks.

You could hear the familiar
MTSU initials ring through the
walls lately on Thursday nights at
the University Club — UK wanted
to avenge a 38-0 loss two weeks ago
at its Bluegrass Invitational.

More was discussed about the
possible second chance at McDo~
nald's Saturday morning as the team
was departing for the 1991 Banshee
Rugby Tournament at Western Ken-
tucky University.

The Cats got their chance in the
championship game, but after a
couple of bad breaks, MTSU won
the bloody, hard-fought match 13-3.
MTSU jumped early to take a 10-0
first half lead.

But the second half belonged to
UK. The Cats put pressure on
MTSU continually but made crucial
mistakes in key situations.

“We were hanging on the door all
day we just couldn’t conven," UK
player Taylor Marret said. “If there
was a key to the game it was that
we were able to stop their wing."

However, it was another memora-
ble weekend of rugby.

The teams arrived slowly on the
cold, cloudy Saturday morning to
the grass fields behind Henry F.

Moss Middle School.

Upon arrival, each team glanced
at the toumament brackets displayed
by the tent located on the side of the
field.

The Cats were first matched with
the Western Kentucky alumni team,
which they easily crushed by the
score of 31—0. And MTSU disposed
of its first-round opponent, St. Louis
University, setting up the rematch
UK had been waiting for.

Among the many UK players to
score was back Jimmy Abadi, who
scored for the first time since join-
ing the team.

But after two other teams slated to
take pan in the tournament didn’t
show, WKU officials decided to
mix things up a bit. They then put

coach, was impressed the lanky
New Yorker. “Riddick‘s got great
defensive skills,” he said. Adding
that the 6-foot-9 forward-center was
“a great shot-blocker... . His stami-
na needs to be built up, but that‘s
natural."

Riddick agreed with his coach,
saying after the game, “I don’t think
I played too well.

“I got out of shape. I didn't play

that much since the season ended."

The man who shot only three of
19 in the the three-point contest the
night before, downplayed the rarity
of his outside accuracy, saying “I
shoot (from outside) every once in a
while."

Riddick's future roommate, Ami-
nu Timberlakc, also received a few
words of praise from Hardin, who
coached Louisville Fairdale to two
Kentucky state championships.

“I saw flashes of Timberlakc real-
ly doing well," he said. “He can
shoot the ball well. he can pass the
ball well."

The 6-foot—8 forward from Chica-
go got a taste of the notoriety of be-
ing a Kentucky basketball player.
Fans repeatedly thrust pens into his
long fingers, clamoring for his bare-
ly legible autograph. Reporters
swarmed him at every opportunity,
scribbling and taping his every

themselves with UK, while placing
MTSU with a team from Paducah,
Ky., —- with the winners meeting in
the championship game yesterday.

The Cats went on to have what
team coaches called their best game
of the year, especially in the second
half when the team looked as
though it had playing as a team for
a long time, rolling over WKU 28-
3.

Dave “Otis" Barnes brutalized
WKU with hard slashing runs for
UK scores.

MTSU also won its second game
of the day, setting up the stage for a
very interesting championship
game.

The two teams exchanged intimi-
dating glances, as well as good luck

handshakes at the big Banshee party
that night. The party, which Playboy
magazine once ranked one of the 10
best in America, took place in the
infield at Beech Bend Raceway.

MTSU arrived just in time for the
1:30 pm. central time start. Both
teams put their game faces on. One
face that stood out was that of Tim
Keller’s.

Because of plans to attend medi~
cal school, this was to be Keller‘s
last big tournament.

Keller played relentlessly
throughout, hustling in each of the
40minute halves.

His driving legs also played a big
part in the Cats’ dominance of the
scum plays. Kell
