Draft COMTINIJED ROM PAGE 10 take and do something. aiso, tnese kids need to un derstand that for every Kobe Bryant and Kevin Garnett there is a Lenny Cooke or Garnett Korleone Young. Do you know who these guys are and what they’re doing now? I thought so. Lebron James is probably the best player in the draft, but it’ll take four years and a couple more lottery' picks for Cleveland to stand a chance of getting out of mediocrity. I want to see more guys like Nick Collison and Kirk Hinrich be rewarded for staying four years and improving. These guys would be much more im portant to the development of a Denver than any _ one-year colle giate or high school player. I don’t see how it will be more fun to watch James struggle , , .. Colllson and learn the game than to see Collison help a team get over the edge and make a title run. To say I don’t like the NBA is untrue, but the changes to the game have lessened my interest. I’m not saying the NBA is bad, but it lacks what grabbed my at tention in the past. The draft is just a great ex ample of why I’m not thrilled with pro basketball. Will the game change for the better? I doubt it, hut neither will my feelings of nostalgia. Senkiw is a fourth-year print journalism student. Baseball CONTINUED FROM PAGE 10 Stanford, which overcame a second-round CWS loss to reach the final series and then forced a third game against Rice, lost in the championship game for the third time in four years. In their last title game appear ance, the Cardinal lost 12-1 to Miami in 2001. That loss tied the previous record for largest margin of deficit in the CWS championship. Freshman left-hander Mark Romanczuk gave up the three runs in the first inning. Five innings and five pitchers later, the Owls led 11-0. Humber (11-3) retired the first seven batters he faced before Brian Hall doubled in the third. He then set down 10 of the next 12 before Garko doubled in the seventh and later scored to end the shutout bid. Humber walked two and struck out four in the first cham pionship game complete game since Louisiana State’s Brett Laxton beat Wichita State in 1993. Humber worked largely in the shadows of Niemann and Townsend most of the postseason. He lasted just 3 2-3 innings in Rice’s 54 win over Texas last Wednesday. While Humber hummed along, Romanczuk (12-2) struggled from the start. He threw 46 pitches and walked five as Rice sent nine men to the plate in the first. The Owls, who had six hits and two walks against four pitch ers in the sixth, tied a champi onship game record with their seven-run inning. It was the biggest outburst since Southern California had a seven-run inning while beating Missouri 8-7 in 1958. Chris Kolkhorst, who doubted twice in the inning, drove in two runs with his second one. Janish also had a two-run double, and Cruz hit a two-run single. Dane Bubela drove in another run with his base hit. Graham lamented the Ovft&’ lack of success in Omaha during their previous three trips when they went a combined 1-6. “He’s been waiting for this his whole life,” first baseman Vincent Sinisi said. “’He got the junior col lege championship, but he’s been waiting for this for 13 years and we finally gave it to him.” Directions: Just across the Gervais St. Bridge - Left at Second Light — •4F Summer Group Exercise Schedule June 2 - August 8, 2003 Blatt PE Center Classes 7 am Noon Noon 1:05 pm 4:30 pm 5:30 pm 5:00 pm Spinning Step Express Body Sculpt Faculty/Staff Fitness Body Sculpting Body Sculpting Spinning Tues.& Thurs.
