In the sharp sellof‘f that
gained momentum in the final
hour. the Dow gave up the last
of this year's gains. It ended
1997 at 7.90825. The last time
the [)ow closed below 8.01m
was on Jan. 30.

In the. heady bull market
that began in October 1990 and
saw the Dow nearly quadru
ple. setbacks were routinely
viewed as buying opportuni»
ties. Lately. though. traders
have been viewing any at
tempts at a recovery as a sell
ing opportunity.

Dennis Officer. a finance
professor at the UK Gatton
College of Business and Eco
nomics. said this is true. but
that one type of investor is do-
ing most of the selling.

“In the past. investors
have been using dips in the
market as times to buy." he

said. “But I think we will see
that the large investor is the
one that is doing the selling
and the small ones are staying
put."

tifficer said this is often
because large investors are
under a lot of pressure to pro-
(lU('l' profits. thus selling pre-
maturely.

()tficer said he didn't
think yesterday's stock mar-
ket drop will have the same af»
fect (is the “lllack Monday“
drop in 1987.

"Stocks are fairly priced
and this is a good time to

Calumet Farm trophies staying put

LEXINGTON ~— A group with Bluegrass
roots gained a clear path Monday to keep the
Calumet Farm trophy collection in the heart of
thoroughbred country.

No other buyers stepped forward by Mon-
day‘s deadline to register with a New York auc-
tion house to bid on the glittering legacy of
Calumet‘s dominance of horse racing before its
collapse into bankruptcy.

With no new suitors emerging. the collection
will remain on public display at the Kentucky
Horse Park just outside Lexington, removing
concerns that the trophies could wind up in pri-
vate hands outside Kentucky,

“It’s over, the marketplace spoke," said John
0. Morgan of Lexington. the lead lawyer repre-
senting (‘alumet's creditors.

A grassroots group raised $1.2 million to
keep the trophies at the Horse Park. The state an-
ted up $1.5 million for the cause. The combined
$2.7 million offer was tentatively accepted by the
trustees for Calumet’s creditors. who are still
owed tens of millions of dollars

But the offer was accepted on the condition
that other bidders be given a final chance to
come forward, which caused a bout of public ap—
prehension in Kentucky until Monday's deadline
expired

Entangled man shoots self

BOWLING GREEN — A Warren County
hunter was killed wherrhis gun got tangled in a
barbed wire fence and discharged, shooting him
in the chest.

Louie Graves Willoughby, 75, was squirrel
hunting Sunday at his farm when he attempted
to cross a barbed wire fence, according to War-
ren County Deputy Coroner Wade Hughes Hugh-
es said a loose piece of barbed wire caught the
trigger, causing the weapon to fire.

Willoughby’s wife. Dorthy Willoughby,
found the body Sunday afternoon. The gun still
was tangled in the fence when officers arrived.

Hughes said the death likely will be ruled ac-
cidental, but Kentucky State Police were still in-
vestigating.

Motorcycle gang indicted

PEORIA, Ill. —— US. Attorney Frances Hulin
announced a 59-count indictment Monday
against 18 members of the Grim Reapers motor‘
cycle gang in a five-state investigation.

Raids were made on clubhouses in Illinois,
Indiana and Iowa on Monday morning, following
a probe that also included Kentucky and Ten-
nessee, said agent Jerry Singer of the Bureau of
Alcohol, Tobacco & Firearms.

Charges included racketeering, drug conspir-
acy, transportation of stolen vehicles and
weapons violations. Hulin said.

and her husband
of the crime.

“These comprehensive charges represent a
tenacious effort by all law enforcement agencies
involved working together to effectively disman-
tle an organization which has been using vio-
lence to operate outside the law," Hulin said in a
prepared statement.

Among those arrested was the motorcycle
club's national president, Edward “Fast Ed"
Dais, 45 of Milan, 111.. she said.

The arrests came after a three-year probe
dubbed “Operation Ironhorse.” It was spearhead-
ed by the ATP and the Illinois State Police. with
other federal and local law enforcement agencies
taking part.

"More than 70 guns have been confiscated,
including a machine gun, during the three-year
investigation," Singer said.

The clubhouses were located at Rock Island
and Galesburg in Illinois; Davenport, Iowa; and
Evansville, Ind.

Those indicted faces maximum penalties of
life imprisonment and heavy fines, officials said.

Bond hearings were being held Monday and
Tuesday, Hulin spokesman Tate Chambers said.

JonBenet's mom tired of tabloids

PARKERSBURG, W.Va. — Patsy Ramsey
says she’s tired of ignoring tabloid reports that
imply she and her husband are responsible for
the death of their daughter, JonBenet.

“You can only turn the cheek so long,” Patsy
Ramsey told The Parkersburg Sentinel in an in-
terview published Monday. “It’s not fair."

Ramsey, a Parkersburg native, said she and
husband John have “given the green light” to
friends and family who want to speak out on
their behalf.

“The few times we gave statements, they
were shredded to pieces. People read into our
body language," Mrs. Ramsey said from her
home in Atlanta. “We want people to know the
type of parents we are."

Until now, the Ramseys have asked friends
and family to remain silent about the case and to
refuse offers from tabloids and talk shows, Mrs.
Ramsey said.

There have been no arrests since JonBenet,
6, was found beaten and strangled in the base-
ment of her family’s Boulder, 0010., home on Dec.
26, 1996. Her parents have maintained their inno-
cence. though police say they remain “under an
umbrella of suspicion."

Seagal wants Taiwan to love pets

LOS ANGELES —- Tough~guy actor Steven
Seagal is among those urging Taiwan’s lawmak-
ers to pass an anti-cruelty bill aimed at helping
thousands of homeless dogs.

Seagal, who recently visited the country with
animal-rights’ activists, wants other actions to
help, too. An ad bearing his name is scheduled to
run in the Hollywood Reporter on Tuesday.

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals,
which sponsored the ad, claims countless dogs live
in deplorable conditions. Then there’s the practice
around Taipei of rounding up and killing stray
dogs by drowning, electrocution and poisoning.

Brad Pitt, Kim Basinger and David
Duchovny are among the other actors who’ve
joined Seagal‘s effort.

personal touch," said
Stephens, a communications
junior.

They have painted their
fraternity crest on the hall
wall to give it a personal
touch and have re-done the
lobby, which now serves as a
meeting place with tables,
chairs and a TV.

“They have done some
things on the floor to reflect
the culture of their particu-
lar fraternity," said Jim
Wims, director of Residence
Life.

“I’ve got to meet a few of
them, and they just seem to
be, in my view, model stu-
dents. We just feel good that
we can offer yet another liv-
ing option,” he said.

Because the fraternity has
never had an official common
place, they are accustomed to
alternative social activities.

“They'll have their meet-
ings and so forth, but in
terms of parties, they’re go-
ing to be asked to follow same
policy and procedures as oth-
er students. I’m sure for par-
ties and such they’ll use some

off campus facilities," Wims
said.

The fraternity has had to
sacrifice to live in the dorm.
Some of the members had to
break apartment leases and
forego their senior year of in-
dependence to live with their
brothers.

They have also put their
privacy on the line. To fight
any potential problems, they
have installed security
doors that only allow mem~
bers direct access. Visitors
are welcome but must knock
to gain entrance to the floor.

Other residents of Bland-
ing Tower seem to enjoy the
fraternity.

“I assumed there would
be problems with them being
loud and with boys on the
floor, but they've been really
quiet and respectful," said
Darshika Patel, an RA on the
tenth floor.

With the new dry campus
policy, the fraternity might be
setting a precedent.

“We‘re setting a trend def-
initely," Murphy said.

A scalper's dream: UK students grab tickets
for first football game at U of L since 1915

By llaty Crossen

STAFF WRITER

Call it a rematch between
Sylvester and Tweety.

UK students. anxiously
awaiting the fight between their
Wildcat and the Cardinal. stood
outside Memorial Coliseum for
as long as an hour before the
lottery yesterday.

For that hour. students
milled about. thinking about
what they would like to see take
place in Louisville on Saturday.

Junior Steve Kane said
what many Cats fans were
thinking.

“It‘s well worth the wait."

. Kane said. “To see UK go over
there. beat Louisville. in their
own home, their first game ever
in that stadium. watch them
leave the stadium crying and
whimpering. saying ‘We never
should have played them in the
first place."‘

But Kane was a little lost
for words when it came to the

parking situation at
John‘s Stadium.

“Were going to park at
Churchill Downs and ride a
horse over." Kane said.

Many students expressed
their pride before the lot-
tery took place. some rev-
eling in the way they

“There are only 310 stu-

said. "It‘s such a small group
that the first picked students
can get two tickets if they're
willing to pay $50."

The first student picked
was willing to pay $50 for two
tickets. and his name was Ja»
son Glass.

“This is UK—U of L, it’s a

Some students sat around
in the bleachers waiting for

dreaming of creative ways to
celebrate the win they‘ve been
craving.

Stephens foresaw some down-
time for UK quarterback Tim
Couch.

“UK-L‘ of l. prediction: ~18—

With all of the pride waft-

um. it was a surprise to see so
few students. It‘s even more
shocking. considering this
game is only 75 miles away. As-

though he sat alone in the
bleachers while all of his
friends were signing their
ticket waivers.

"Why don‘t we pluck the
feathers out of the bird one by

Stephens said. “Let‘s bring it
back here to Lexington and feed
it to the Wildcat."

Deck of Cards stacked
against UK fans in ‘Ville

For those who grew up in Louisville as UK fans,
this could be the sweetest Saturday of the year

    

It took a
. strong fami-
'- 1y to hold

3. ‘ out.

who had not yet seen the light. in
the midst of fools who dared to
claim that red and black were supe-
rior colors »- my family held firm
to their unpopular beliefs.

Coming of age in Louisville. af-
fectionately known to many as the
'Ville. it became a challenge to dis-
like the Cardinals. Here was a
school that had the community
alive with a basketball champi-
onship when I was at the impres-
sionable age of eight.

UK. which was a distant 75
miles away. well distant to a kid
who only traveled to Lexington
once a year for a football game. had
fallen on hard times. The Wildcats
were sentenced to death by the

. NCAA because of our good friend

Eddie Sutton and his cast of
sneaky. cutthroat hooligans. who
had so quickly dismantled the UK
legacy by sending 810.000 via air
mail to a recruit's father.

I took the ribbing from the
Louisville backers who lovingly re-

- ferred to the Cats as cheaters and

. aha—v.45... “0 A o 9

.oooo.0“ ‘ ,',.

constantly severed my ear drums
with cries of. “Well at least my
team doesn‘t cheat!"

There were the desolate foot-
ball seasons under Bill Curry. who
led our beloved Wildcats exactly
nowhere. while a pipe-smokin' lu~
natic at the old Cardinal Stadium
had his band of mediocre players
beating the piss out of Alabama in
the Fiesta Bowl. then proclaiming
that U of L was on a collision
course with a national champi-
onship.

These were rough times as I
stepped off the bus every day at the
school where my mother taught.
which just so happened to be in the
shadow of Louisville's non-existent
campus. But then I remembered
something my uncle. a UK graduate
once said: “That which makes me
love UK. only makes me hate U of I.
even more."

Prophetic words from a man
who graduated in the top five of his
engineering class here. and words
that I remembered until the day it
all changed.

In March 1993. UK basketball is
back with a vengeance and a Final
Four appearance. Amazing how the
‘Ville becomes much more subdued
when the beloved Cards are up-
staged by their much more presti-
gious rival to the east. As I had
done for so many years. I Wore my

blue and white proudly. even after
the Cats lost to Michigan‘s Fab Five
in overtime. because. hey. we were
back.

Then along came L‘ of L‘s hir<
ing of Ron Cooper as football coach.
Nothing against Coop. but the
(Tards never had a chance. The Car-
dinal fans showed their true colors
within three years and ran Cooper
out of town for good. leaving U of L
to find a new coach who could fill
their new 40.()(Xi-seat. football-only
stadium with more than the 12,000
fans who showed up for the last
game of the 1997 season.

In the meantime. UK stormed
back to front of college basketball
with a 1996 National Champi-
onship. a 1997 runner-up and a 1998
National Championship. The Cats
increased their all-time winningest
program lead over North Carolina
to nearly 20 wins and left the re-
building (‘ards in the dust with a
dismal. under .500 record.

To top it off. L‘K brought in Hal
Mumme and lit up the Southern
skies as allworld quarterback Tim
(‘ouch broke just about every
record possible.

Now the ‘Ville is being overrun
by fairweather fans. or maybe just
people who were finally blinded by
the light and chose to join the
Force. Hey. L‘ of L even had to hire
a Hal Mummerlone to create some
excitement. but that's okay. For
everyone in Lexington. the 'Ville
and everywhere in between. Dad-
dy's mad and it's time for the little
boys to get another spanking.

See you Saturday!

Cards get offensive

Former Utah State coach John L. Smith brings brand of aerial antics
to Louisville as Cardinals gear up for stadium opener against Cats

Iy Axon Word
SPORTSDAILY EDITOR

Two of America‘s most
pass-happy pilots are taking
their air show to center stage
Saturday, and footballs will fly.

Hal Mumme heads to
Louisville with his second Air
Raid, and first-year coach John
L. Smith will welcome him with
a U of L offense that mirrors his
own.

Translation: Get ready for a
four—hour marathon that rarely
stops to breathe.

“I've always followed him."
Mumme said of Smith. “He‘s
done a great job at Idaho and
Utah State. he‘s got a great sys-
tem and offensively, they do a
lot of similar things to us."

The wizard of winging it of-
ten looked to Smith‘s teams for
new wrinkles in his seemingly
unstoppable attack.

Similiar styles gives
Mumme and his staff instant re-
spect for their new in-state
coaching rivals, but it also
means heightened competition.
Ground zero for the nation's
best aerial assault could soon
be the Governor's Cup.

“I think they do the same
thing we do,” Mumme said

Monday at his weekly news
conference. “They try to get you
spread out all over the field,
and then they run at you real
hard with some good backs."

Throw in the fact that both
offenses return experienced tal—
ent at quarterback. receiver
and offensive line, and you can
almost hear defenders having a
Maalox moment.

Much like UK, U of L lives
and dies by its quarterback,
Chris Redman.

The junior signal-caller
clicks well with talented tight
end Ibn Green. but Redman lost
Cardinal stalwart Miguel Mon-
tano. Some talent is left at re-
ceiver. led by junior Arnold
Jackson. but in Smith‘s new of-
fense, new names need to
emerge.

“We're a little bit like the
stadium," Smith said. “We need
two more months, and some of
the parts haven’t arrived yet."

The stadium is a whole oth-
er issue. Papa John‘s Cardinal
Stadium is a brand new football
facility that seats 42,000 people
in chairback comfort, while
welcoming opponents with a
disturbing level of red.

That Saturday is UK‘s first
trip to the ‘Ville since 1915 is

bad enough. Add an opening
game, a new stadium, a new
coach, a new system and a pro-
gram on the mend, and you get
a dangerous situation for UK.

“Obviously, the (Southeast-
ern Conference) road games are
the toughest you’re going to
face anywhere, and a lot of our
older guys have been through
that,” Mumme said. “It’ll be a
tough crowd at Louisville, but
it can't be any tougher than
Florida or Tennessee.”

But what about a Cardinal
defense ranked in the bottom
fifth of Division IA last season?
Isn't that slim pickings for the
nation's sixth-best offense, a
unit returning nine starters?

“Everybody’s talking about
how bad their defense is, but I
think that was just stats,”
Mumme said. “They didn’t
have a good season, but they
have a lot of those players
back."

Can U of L really contain
the Cats? The answer, Mumme
said, is maybe.

Air Raid success is partly
based on the likelihood that few
