“This is not true on any of my proper-

Although DeCamp agreed with John-

not the main concern behind the proposal.

"Nuisance is another issue." he said.

Ten years ago this
fall. tragedy struck UK
much the same way it
did early Sunday morn-
ing.

On Sept. 7. 1988.
Brad Shipman, then a
29year~old pre-veteri-
nary medicine junior at
UK. wrecked his car on
Euclid Avenue. killing
one UK student and leav-
ing another disabled.

Shipman was
charged and later sen-
tenced to five years in
prison for second-degree
manslaughter and
drunk driving.

The event stirred
many on campus and
throughout the Lexing-
ton community. includ-

County.

“(The Watts’ case)
has incredible similari-
ties." said Darling. who
now has a private prac-
tice in Lexington.
“You‘re dealing with
someone who. by all ac-
counts. has a good
record. (and) comes
from a good family."

Back then. more cas-
es of someone being in-
jured or killed in a
drunk-driving accident
seemed to crop up. Dar-
ling said.

OPENER

Continued from page 1

They went on an 8-0 run in the
beginning of the second half.
sparked by a shot clock viola-
tion by EKU.

The hungry Cats caused 23
EKU turnovers with UK’s tena-
cious defense.

“Eastern (Kentucky) had a
real scrappy squad." head coach
Tubby Smith said. “We just got
the leadership we expect from
Scott (Padgett). Wayne and Mu.
Leaders lead by example. and
they were diving for loose balls,
taking charges.“

Something no one expected
was a double-double from fresh-
man Jules Camara. who had 10
points and 11 rebounds. The
freshman had poise and man-
aged to put his 6-foot-11 frame
and quickness to work.

“He's so athletic it‘s impos-
sible to keep him off of the
boards.“ Padgett said. “He's like
a jumping jack or something.
He jumps so quick and gets
around you. you just can't block
him out."

Padgett also had a double-
double. 21 points and 12 re-
bounds.

Six Cats scored in double
figures and everybody on the
team scored.

Smith is happy with the un»
selfishness of the team. and ex-
pects more of the same when
the Cats take on Mercer at 8

“That‘s what we’re looking
for from this team." Smith said.
“These kids like playing togeth-
er. and they are always looking
to give the ball up."

Evans had a career-high 6
assists to go with his 15 points
and 6 rebounds. Evans also took
it upon himself to get the crowd
going when they died down be-
cause of the huge winning mar-
gin throughout the game by
putting his hand to his ear to
listen for the crowd.

“It was like he put up a sign
that said, ‘Applaud.’ like in a
game show or something."

Title defense isn’t easy

Repeating as National Champions is difficult
when you wear a target on your back

By Aaron Sanderford
SPORTSDAILV EDITOR

The term is used at every
mention of its winner. Teams
from every corner of competi-
tion take aim at the term before
even their opponent.

lt motivates even the
proudest programs to take a
step further. to play a step
faster and to work a bit harder.
It is at once a blessing and a
curse for UK.

The term: defending cham-
pions.

"We talk about playing like
champions." head coach Tubby
Smith said. “We feel like we
want to represent the type of
hard work and intensity of last
year. but to be honest, we don't
talk about it much."

For the second time in

three seasons. the Wildcats (1-0)
bear the weight of a NCAA
Championship trophy. and the
simple choice is sink or swim.
At benchmark programs like
UK. adjusting to additional
weight is a rite of passage.

Five Wildcat freshmen got
their first taste of title defense
last night against Eastern Ken-
tucky (0-1). as the Wildcats won
99-64 and two of the five fin-
ished in double figures.

Freshman center Jules Ca-
mara scored 10 points and
grabbed 11 rebounds, while
freshman guard Tayshaun
Prince chipped in with 10
points and fellow frosh
Desmond Allison added 9 from
the guard spot.

“As a freshman. it‘s tough
anywhere. but I think the older
guys have done a good job of

getting us ready." {Leshman
guard Todd Tacket‘t‘ “said.
“You've got a lot of expectations
coming in. but you‘re going to
be able to make a few more mis-
takes as a freshman than as a
sophomore."

The adjustment was au nat-
ural. Smith said. because of the
level of competition that top
high school students play
against in summer league ball.
It also helps that several UK
freshmen came from storied
programs like Oak Hill Acade-
my and Dominguez. he said.

For the elder statesmen. the
adjustment was easy.

“With us winning in '96.
losing in ‘97 and coming back in
‘98. I think the returning guys
know what it takes,” senior
point guard Wayne Turner
said. “We have to work hard in
practice. play hard in games
and keep our intensity level up
no matter who we play I
think everybody we play gets
up to play us. because we have

great tradition. but a lot of peo-
ple overlook how much we get
up for our opponents."

The pressure for many
teams is too great. it was too
much for Arizona last year. too
much for UCLA in 1996 and too
much for UK in 1997. In 96 years
of UK tradition. the 1949 squad
is the only team to repeat.

Mike Krzyzewski won
back-to-back titles at Duke in
1991-92. the only coach to do so
this decade. and the Blue Devil
coach said repeating was decid-
edly more difficult than win-
ning his first.

Few competitors back
down from the challenge of
playing the best.

"At UK. you are always a
target." senior forward Scott
Padgett said. “But it could
make a lot of teams' year to
beat the defending champs. I
know how badly we wanted to
beat Arizona last year. so I
know how badly the other team
wants to beat us."

makers have agreed
to a $206 billion
settlement of state
lawsuits.

"lt's time to stop the

legal bickering and
move the tobacco
fight out of the
courthouse and into
the streets." said
Washington Attorney
General Christine
Gregoire.

“It won't end youth

smoking in America.
but it is a refreshing
and essential step
forward," she said.

The farmers

respond
LOUISVILLE -

Kentucky's farmers
are wondering how
much they will be
hurt by the proposed
$206 billion tobacco
settlement drafted
by negotiators for
eight states and the
four biggest tobacco
makers.

Hopefully, the companies

will continue to buy
the Kentucky crop
for 25 years at the
same level they now
buy it. said Rod
Kuegel, president of
the Burley Tobacco
Growers Cooperative
Association.

“Supposedly in the next

few days a farmer
package is going to
be offered to states
that participate in
the settlement. We
don't know what that
package is," he said.

Here are some major

provisions of the
tobacco bill:
