AA'ith speedy offensive moves and strong
defensive stops. Kentucky shot down the
mighty ones, 5-().

It was all about the defensemen in the first
period. with both teams showing physical play
and superb goaltending. .At quarter’s end. no
goals had been scored for either team. but the
period did not go by without some entertain-
ment.

Thanks to the Blades' Steve \A'ebb and the
DULks' l’etLr l eBoutillier. the iced floor of
Rupp Arena briefl1 took on the form of a box-
ing ring 1s the two players started throwing
punches

After the scuffle broke up. the game cont1n-
tied. with the two brawlers sitting in the penalty
box.

\A'ebb was sent to the box for two minutes
for his participation in the duel. while his coun-
terpart received 1." minutes for instigation. mis—
conduct and lighting.

The Blades used the power play to their
advantage. After playing a mere 2‘) seconds in
the quarter. Kentucky notched the first goal of
the season. courtesy of .Al 11. rookie Tony T117.—

Head coach Jim AA'iley said the fight —~ and

mental edge.

“I think they battled with us so hard. it took
a lot out of them after that first goal." AA'iley
said.

“After three more scores. it would be diffi—
cult for any teatn to handle it."

Cats snooze, lose
against Cougars

By Rob Herbal
MSpurtr Editor

For the few readers who pick
up the Kernel only for the cross-
word puzzle, here’s an added treat.

Looking for a lO—letter word
meaning “a lack of interest or a
lack ofspirit.”

C-O-lA'I-P-L-A-C—E-N-T.

It's the perfect word to describe
the UK women's soccer team yes—
terday as they sleepwalked
through a lackluster 2-0 loss to
Washington State at the UK Soc-
cer Complex.

“This was a terrible loss."
sophomore midfielder Brooke
Hergesell said. “I think compla-
cency was the biggest thing for us
today. W e thought we would just
step on the field and take the game
in our hands and we didn t.

[he loss ended L K's three-
game winnin streak and also put
the C ats befow the .500 mark
again (5— 6— 1).

“Every time you step onto the
field. you h.'11e to prove yourself,"
head coach AA arren Lipka said.

“T he work rate was not there
tod 11 and we were just very slow
today. People were not ready to go
today."

AA'hile the AA'ildcats outshot the
Cougars. AA'ashington State hit
the bull's eye on the opportunities.
In the first half. AA'SU took only
two shots.

Those two shots found the net.

The Cougars began the scoring
at 12:12. when Kimberly Schelpf
was left alone in the box. Team—
mate Randi Glass found Schelpf.
whose one-timer snuck just inside
the left post and outside the reach
of UK goalkeeper Beth \A'ells'
sprawling dive.

Twelve minutes later. Deka
Dewitt's 35-yard floater went over
the head of \rA'ells. who was play—
ing somewhat up. and it hit the
upper-inside left corner of the net.

“Beth needs to et back quick—

"Lipka said of tie second goal.

I he ball was shot 30 something
yards away. and that s just recog—

nizin'g the ball and whit kind of
shot it is.

Unlike the four previous games
where the Cats totaled 13 goals.
the AA’ildcats‘ offense didn't get
going.

To make matters worse. yester-
day's loss virtually crushes any fair
memories of Friday night‘s game.
UK thrashed Detroit-Mercy 4-0
for its third consecutive win. The
Cats reached the .500 mark for the
first time this season.

The win seemed to show the
AA'ildcats had “turned the corner"
after a less-than-spectacular start
of the season.

“You could really see it coming
together." Lipka said after Fri-
day s easy win. ‘You just have to
understand that we re starting four
freshmen and five sophomores
and it s only the ninth game of the
season. I really couldn‘t be happi-

"
er.

But ifthe AA'ildcats “turned the
corner" on Friday. it went the
wrong way on a one way street
yesterday. Especially considering
the same AA'ashington State team
that beat UK yesterday was the
same VA'ashington State team that
got hammered by Detroit—Mercy
4-0 earlier in the season.

“I thought coming back after
Friday. we would be ready to go
and that was obviously not the
case." Lipka said. “Every part of
our game went wrong: the lack of
movement without the ball. no
possession at all. overly direct in
our style by whacking the ball for-
ward. no rhythm. Pick one."

Now the \A'ildcats must pre-
pare for a weekend road trip
against No. 25 Cincinnati and No.
9 Nebraska. One can bet practice
won’t be fun.

“\A'arren had a lot of trust in us.
and he thought he could give us
light practices and be positive with
us." l'Iergesell said. “Now we lost
that opportunity. and we ruined it
for ourselves. AA'e're going to have
practices as hard as ever. AA'e let
AA'arren down because he bad faith
- a
in us.

losses to reat teams sent L'K fans
into a flas back.

But the attitude was different this
time. You could see it in their eyes.

\Vith just minutes remaining, the
on-field noise level was deafening.
The vibration from the crescendo of
sound ended a quarter-century of
slumber.

Yes. it was special for me to be
part of L'K‘s 3-0 win against Indiana
last season. But this was Alabama.

livery person in Commonwealth
stood as the Tide turned. It was my
big moment, The entire fate of a
football program rested on my
crossbar.

The Alabama kick was good, and
I was safe.

()r so I thought.

In overtime, when L'K safety
'l‘remayne Martin put his hat on the
ball and popped it loose, the fervor
returned.

I could feel the eyes piercing the
back of my head.

\Vhy me? I was just doing my
job.

As quarterback Tim Couch con-
nected with receiver Craig Yeast for
the game-winning touchdown,
shock set in. UK 40. Alabama 34. It
all went black.

~The sounds ofa stadium in ecsta-
sy resonated through my uprights
like Mozart's piano through a tun-
ing fork.

This is why college football is the
greatest sport on earth. This is why
l became a goal post. The entire
lower level 0 Commonwealth emp—
tied onto the tield in celebration.

At mid-field, the Wildcats hud-
dled close together in a testament to
hard work and faith. Their jubilant
fans circled them, until a deviant
turned to me and smiled.

Oh. no.

The rush of students to my foun-
dation startled me.

Privately. I thought I still might
have a chance, because this basket-
ball school had never won a game
like this. Maybe they don’t have
cable, maybe the state police will
savetne, I thought.

What was I saying? Why would I
waht to suffer through another sea-
son of UK football? A month ago, I
waslooking forward to spending my
retirement at the Aloha Bowl.

Because this season is different.
Because Hal Mumme is different.
Because the Curse of the Bear is
dead. Because I love football.

_At first, the students could not
reach tne.

Then, with the help of their
classmates, they hoisted a few peo-
ple onto my crossbar and wrestled
me loose from the ground. My part-
ner'fell soon after.

:My time had come.

As I was paraded down Hal
Mumme Pass anti through fraternitv
row, the street crowds cheere .
Years of service were repaid by the
cries of my adoring fans. When my
ride stopped at the Sigma Pi house,
I shouted triumphantly.

Thank God almighty, we are free

EIIIIIIOI‘IG COIIIIISIDII: What
to do when llll rolls Title?

By Aaron Sandartord

Senior Staff H "riter

The victory was improbable.
UK hadn‘t beaten Alabama in
75 years. The Crimson Tide

came into Saturday’s game
ranked 20th.

The \Vildcats com—
mitted four

turnovers. Alabama

had more than 400

yards total offense.
But the Cats clawed

their wa past the
Tide, an the basket-
ball-crazy state of
Kentucl;y began a cele-
bration or the ages.

“This is wild, like
nothin I‘ve ever seen

before, ’ UK alumnus Steve
Jackson said on the field. “I
think football might take over the
state.”

The mood was so high that a
mid-field celebration with the
Wildcats was cut short by a group
of students that had eyes for the

   
 
     
  

end-zone goal posts. \I'hile the
UK players joined in a celebrato-
ry prayer, the students went
berserk.

“I loved the reaction," senior
offensive lineman john Schlar-
man said. “That's what college

football is all about."
Brad Hendren,
an accounting
senior, was
one of the first
people to
c imb the goal
post. Dripping
with sweat and
exhausted, he
spoke about the
Tide—breaking
experience.
“It was the shit.
We have been waiting for
this to hap en,” Hendren said.
“We beat ama's ass and just
took that shit (the goal posts)
down.”

While hundreds of students
celebrated the demise of one oal
post, part of the group turne for

l

the other one cross-field.

One student yelled frotn the
crowd, “There‘s another one,“ as
ifthe people on the field forgot.
A rush ensued as the people too
far back to touch the first goal
post took off for the opposite
end-zone.

In the middle of the run. more
fans left the stands. and at 10:30
p.tn. the last oal post at Com-
monwealth fel .

“This is awesome. completely
crazy.” psychology junior
Michelle Rey-Barreau said frotn
the field. “\Vowl"

()ne UK senior who asked to
remain anon mom for fear of
academic bac 'lash said, “This is
the best game of my undergradu-
ate career. L'K football is on the
rise, baby!"

The party took to the streets
near campus soon after the goal
posts left the stadium.

()ne unidentified student on
Euclid Avenue said, “Man, we
don't know what to do when we
win, so we drink."

FIJI to 90 dry
by year 2000

Other UK
chapters

By Mat Herron

The year 3000 will be a dry
one.

I’l1i(iamma Delta Interna—
tional announced Thursday it
will ban alcohol from all ofits
houses across the country and
in (Ianada hy_luly 1,2000.

\\'ith this act, the social fra-
ternity joins Sigma .\'u and
Phi Delta Theta using that day
as the deadline for the chap—
ters to go dry.

"I Iopefully it will he
LnibriLLd b1 all chapters," said
lien \\ olfe, 11 biology senior
and president of Phi (Iamma
Delta at L'K. “You see the
name that fraternities are get--
ting around the nation. and it's
mostly due to alcohol con-
sumption."

The fraternity"s substance—
free initiative comes just three
days after the death of pledge
Scott Krueger. IS. a freshman

at Massachusetts Institute of

Technology.

Officers from the fraterni~
t_1 s international headquarters
on Red Mile Road have con-
templated the decision to ban
alcohol for its [35 chapters for

about three months now.
\Volle said.
The governing hoard

adopted a substance-free poli-
cy about two months ago, and
they are considering using
incentives to get other chap—
ters to follow stiit. according
to a news release faxed Thurs-
day.

“Alcohol has too much
nfluence on today's college
students 11nd our members."

said Douglas Dittrick, a cable
television executive and presi-
dent of Phi Gamma Delta's
governing board, in the
release. “\Ve must take action
against it."

The alcohol-free goal is a
realistic one, \Volfe said.

“(\Ve) had some dissent,
but I think everybody realizes
it‘s for the common good,"
“'olfe said.

\Vithin a couple of years,
that common good may reach
other fraternities, said Tony
Hayden. president of the
Interfraternity Council and a
member of Sigma Nu.

()ther fraternity members
said going dry will depend on
how much the Creek organi—
zations want to do it.
