‘Bodies’ exhibit

More than 6,000
reservations

GALLIPOLIS —
Bossard Memorial
Library in Gallipolis
had more than 1,200
visitors during its
opening week hosting
the “Bodies Revealed”
exhibit presented by
Premier Exhibitions.
“So far, this ﬁrst
week has been a great
success,” said Bossard
Memorial Library
Director Debbie Saunders. “We opened to
the public on Sept. 25.
So through Oct. 2, with
all the events we had,
we’ve had 1,261 already
just in our opening
week.”
While the library
always allows walk-ins
for the exhibit, they
ask the public to make
reservations as they
will be served ﬁrst. So
far, more than 6,000
reservations have been
made for the exhibit in
the library’s Riverside
Room.
“School groups are
reaching out to us,”
Saunders said. “We’ve
made bookings (with
people) from Indiana,
Virginia, many from
(central Ohio). We have
reservations from Cin-

“Educators have
been able to bring
their anatomy
classes and be able
to see (anatomy) in
a way no textbook
can show. We have
had artists come
in from the local
university to sketch
the bodies. That’s
a whole different
angle.”
— Debbie Saunders,
library director

cinnati. Not only will
people who come to
visit the exhibit see this
world-renowned exhibition, it’s also helping
the Gallia County
economy.”
Saunders said the
exhibit, so far, has been
the biggest project on
which she has ever
worked. Saunders has
been heavily involved
with bringing exhibits
from organizations such
as the Newport Aquarium to the library while
also helping in bringing
the Ohio Chautauqua
to visit Gallia County in
Gallipolis City Park.
Saunders makes
certain to always give

ROCKSPRINGS —
Each October, the color
pink can be found popping up in a variety of
locations as a way to
mark Breast Cancer
Awareness month.
On Saturday, as the
calendar turned to Oct.
1, the Meigs County Fairgrounds was the spot for
many pink-clad runners
(and walkers) as they
took part in the ﬁrst Pink
Power 5K put on by the
Meigs County Chamber
of Commerce and Pleasant Valley Hospital.
Approximately 30-35
people took part in the
run which routed participants around the fairgrounds.
In addition to the run,
organizations, including
Pink with Purpose Meigs
County and Pleasant
Valley Hospital, were on
hand to provide information about breast health
and services. A speaker
was also on hand after
the race.
With October as
Breast Cancer Awareness
Month, the race was held
to help raise awareness
for the importance of
mammograms and breast
health, as well as to show
support for those who
are battling the disease,
said chamber Director

Whitney Thoene leading
up to the race.
This is not the only
Breast Cancer Awareness
related race to take place

in the area this month
as the Susan G. Komen
Race for the Cure will
return to Athens for the
second year Oct. 23.

That race raises funds
for the Susan G. Komen
Foundation with a portion of the funds raised
remaining in this area.

The Village of Syracuse recently completed a paving project on College Road, Bridgeman Street, Sixth Street and Worchester Street in
the village. The cost of the project was approximately $84,000, with 74 percent funded through Ohio Public Works Commission, and
the remaining 26 percent by the village. This the seventh paving project in the past nine years under Mayor Eric Cunningham, according
to Grants Administrator Fred Hoffman. Approximately $100,000 in paving has been done each year of the program, with culverts also
having been replaced. OPWC pays 74 percent of the cost each year.

Daily Sentinel

Court upholds conviction of man who videotaped 11-year-old
COLUMBUS (AP) —
The Ohio Supreme Court
has upheld the conviction
of a man who secretly videotaped an 11-year-old girl
while she was undressed in a

bathroom.
Terry Lee Martin was
convicted of creating nudityoriented material involving
a minor and possession of
criminal tools. The Dayton

man has argued that the
images weren’t lewd and
didn’t involve a “graphic
focus” on genitals as deﬁned
under Ohio law.
The court in a 5-2 decision

Wednesday rejected Martin’s argument and said the
images clearly met the legal
deﬁnition of nudity that prohibits the creation of childnudity-oriented material.

“Morgan dollars are the

were made between 1878
to 1921. It’s a nice big, fat

Tope said that oftentimes the coins were
given out as gifts and

said $4 a piece. She said,
‘Well, I’ve been putting
them in a handbag and
taking them to New York
City and getting $2 a
piece.’”
Tope met with Mrs.
McIntyre to discuss the
coins.
“She brought 900 coins
stacked,” Tope said. “I
said, ‘Mrs. McIntyre. I
just thought you had 20
or 30 of them.’ She said
she would come back
tomorrow. She kept bringing them down. I told
her, ‘Mrs. McIntyre, that
coin is worth $700. This
one is a $5 one and this
is a $50 one.’ When we
were done, she had 1,800
(coins). She had bought

ﬁve bags back in the
(Great Depression) and
said she had been giving
them out to a kid that had
(mowed) their yard or to
an (employee) at Christmas time.”
Overall, Tope said
Maybelle had handed out
maybe 3,200 of the coins.
Mrs. McIntyre at the time
did not know the true
worth of the coins as their
value had increased with
time. Mrs. McIntyre died
in 1985. She lived to be
101.
“I think we wrote her
a check for $18,000 that
day,” said Tope.
In the end, Tope said
coin and currency collecting, as well as the business behind it, is all about

appreciating the stories
behind the coin and not
just their value.
“Enjoy the hobby and
enjoy what you’ve spent
for yourself,” Tope said.
“Don’t look at it as, ‘I
paid $50 and I’ll sell (an
object) for $60.’ A hobby
and coin collecting is
something you should
enjoy, personally. You buy
stock to get a dividend
and make money. You
buy an 1895 silver dollar
to appreciate, enjoy and
know that you’re saving it for the future. An
1895 silver dollar you’ll
see (worth) $30,000 to
$50,000.”

THEIR VIEW

WV leads nation in
college completion
strategies
Last week, faculty and staff from West Virginia’s
public colleges and universities set forth on a bold path
to dramatically improve college completion rates in the
state. The work occurred as part of the West Virginia
Higher Education Policy Commission’s Corequisite
Academy, a two-day conference held in partnership
with Complete College America to help campuses
implement a new model for college students deemed to
be “underprepared.”
Developmental, or remedial, education has long been
recognized as a major barrier to student success. For
too many students, placement in these classes represents a dead end in their educational journey.
Students are placed in developmental classes due
to low scores on college entrance exams or low high
school grade point averages (GPAs). The traditional
theory assumes that these students are not yet ready to
complete college-level coursework, so they are placed in
courses that are intended to help them catch up — but
do not count toward college credit.
Over the years, we have learned that
there are serious ﬂaws in this approach.
For starters, measures used to place
students in developmental education
courses are far from perfect. Research
from Complete College America and
other leading college completion experts
indicates that many students who are
Bruce
placed in developmental classes could
Vandal
have succeeded in regular, credit-bearing
Contributing courses. And although exams and GPAs
Columnist
serve as valuable warning systems indicating a gap in students’ knowledge,
they do little to pinpoint the speciﬁc area
in which a student may need improvement.
As a result, students spend a great deal of time and
money learning content they have already mastered.
This is frustrating and demoralizing for students. And,
even worse, it greatly reduces their chances of ultimately completing their degree programs. Studies have
shown that time is the enemy of degree completion.
The longer students take to complete their degrees,
the more costs they incur and the more likely that life
events will derail their studies. At community colleges
across the country, just one in 10 remedial students
earns his or her degree within three years. At four-year
colleges, a little over a third of remedial students earn
their degree within six years.
But there is a better way. The corequisite developmental education model provides students with the
support they need to overcome any deﬁciencies in their
knowledge and skills while simultaneously allowing
them to complete college-level coursework that counts
toward their degrees.
It’s important to note that placing “underprepared”
students directly into college-level courses is not a
“dumbing down” of higher education. Students still
tackle the same, rigorous coursework they were always
expected to complete.
They are earning college credit, receiving the support they need, and doing so at a considerably lower
cost than under the old model.
Instead of holding students back to “relearn” an
entire semester of content and skills, students move
forward through their college program and are provided extra support as it is needed.
This method not only spares the student time and
frustration, but also saves the institutions staff time and
money — two important factors in keeping the cost of
higher education low.
The West Virginia Community and Technical College System was among the ﬁrst organizations in
the country to implement the corequisite model at a
system-wide scale. In 2014, all of West Virginia’s public
two-year colleges committed to using the corequisite
system for those students requiring developmental
education.
As a result, student success rates skyrocketed. Under
the previous, traditional model, just 37 percent of developmental education students were completing collegelevel English within two years of entering a community
and technical college. After the corequisite model was
introduced, that number jumped to 74 percent after just
one semester. The results were even more astonishing
in math. Under the traditional model, only 14 percent
of students completed college-level math within two
years. But after one semester using the corequisite
approach, 63 percent completed the course!
Since then, colleges and universities across the
nation — including many four-year colleges here in the
Mountain State — have tested the corequisite method
with similar results.
That is why I am tremendously excited that West Virginia’s public two-year and four-year colleges have committed to transitioning 80 percent of all developmental
education students into corequisite courses by 2018.
The commission and the Community and Technical College System should be commended for offering
statewide and national leadership in addressing developmental education. They identiﬁed a problem. They
found a solution.
And now they are using their unique positions as
state higher education coordinating agencies to expand
this innovative strategy to make real, positive changes
for students across West Virginia.

America, a national nonprofit working to increase the number of Americans
with quality career certificates or college degrees and to close achievement
gaps.

Weber picks
up where
‘Zeke’ left off
By Jim Naveau
jnaveau@civitasmedia.com

COLUMBUS — Who knew that picking up
where Ezekiel Elliott left off wouldn’t be the
toughest weight for Mike Weber to lift?
Weber was the heir apparent to Elliott, the
fourth overall pick in the NFL draft by the Dallas Cowboys, from the day he arrived at OSU in
August of 2015.
A torn meniscus in preseason training camp
forced Ohio State to redshirt him last fall.
If not for that injury, he might have been Elliott’s
backup last season.
Now that he has gotten onto the ﬁeld, he has
probably exceeded the already high expectations
that he would be a worthy successor to Elliott,
who climbed to No. 2 behind Archie Grifﬁn on
OSU’s career rushing list in only two seasons as a
starter.
Weber, from Detroit Cass Tech High School,
has rushed for 495 yards in four games, with three
games of more than 100 yards.
He is averaging 7.3 yards a carry and has scored
two touchdowns.
After the most recent of his scores, on a 46-yard
run against Rutgers last Saturday, he thought
he and center Pat Elﬂein had choreographed a
celebration where he would pick up the 6-3, 300pound Elﬂein.
But it didn’t work out quite that way when Elflein stood ﬂat-footed and Weber, who is 5-10 and
212 pounds, couldn’t move him.
“He came to me one day and said, ‘Since we
(the offensive line) are always the guys picking up
the running backs, how about you picking me up?’
” Weber said. “I said, ‘If that’s what you want, you
have to at least jump.’ I guess he forgot. He kind of

NELSONVILLE, Ohio —
With a 2-0 lead in the match,
the Lady Buckeyes were ready
to ﬁnish off another sweep and
call it a night.
The Lady Marauders had a
different idea, however, and
the Maroon and Gold claimed
the next three games to earn
the 3-2 Tri-Valley Conference
Ohio Division victory.
The Lady Buckeyes — who
defeated Meigs (8-10, 3-6
TVC Ohio) in straight games
in the September 8 meeting
between the teams, at Larry R.
Morrison Gymnasium — took
Tuesday’s opening game by
a 25-15 count, after leading
wire-to-wire.

The Lady Marauders led by
two points early in the second
game, but NYHS took the lead
at 5-4 and never relinquished
it, rolling to the 25-14 victory.
Meigs charged out to a
14-4 lead, early in the third
game, but the Lady Buckeyes
trimmed the margin to one at
22-21. Nelsonville-York never
regained the lead, however, as
MHS claimed three of the next
four points and the game by a
25-22 count.
MHS led by as much as
four early in the fourth game,
but Nelsonville-York took the
lead at 9-8. After three more
lead changes, the teams were
tied at 22. Meigs scored the
next three points and won the
fourth game by a 25-22 ﬁnal,
forcing a ﬁfth game.

NYHS claimed the ﬁrst four
points of the the deciding
game, but the Lady Marauders
tied it up at ﬁve. NelsonvilleYork jumped out to a threepoint lead, but Meigs again
fought back and tied the game
at 10. From there, NYHS led
12-10 and 13-11. Meigs took
the next four points, however,
winning the game by a 15-13
count and the match by a 3-2
tally.
Meigs service attack was
led by Devyn Oliver and Maddie Hendricks with 11 points
apiece, including three and
two aces respectively. Maddie Fields posted nine points

Bengals’ passing not keeping up with new lineup
CINCINNATI (AP) —
Andy Dalton has thrown
only three touchdown
passes in four games, a
statistic that points to
why the Bengals (2-2)
are treading water.
The passing game
is missing something
important, and it’s not
the quarterback.
Dalton’s new-look
receiving group hasn’t
kept up with the one
from last season, the
most glaring change
from their 8-0 start in
2015.
A.J. Green has two
touchdown catches, and
running back Giovani
Bernard has one. At this
point last season, the
Bengals already had nine
touchdown passes.
Their scoring is way
down as a result. Last
season, the Bengals
scored at least 24 points
in each of their ﬁrst four
games with a total of
121. This season, they
haven’t scored more than
23 in any game and have
only 78 points overall.
Instead of touchdowns, they’re settling
for ﬁeld goals. That’s
the main thing they’re
trying to correct heading into games at Dallas
(3-1) and New England
(3-1), places where they
haven’t won since the
1980s.
“We’ve got a lot of new
faces in there offensively,” left tackle Andrew
Whitworth said.
“There’s a lot of guys
that haven’t been leaned
on to play that many
snaps or have never
played in the offense,
so there’s going to be
a growing part of the
season. Now it’s time to
really see guys take leaps
and bounds forward.”
The Bengals knew
there would be a break-in
period with their new
receivers . Marvin Jones
and Mohamed Sanu left
as free agents, taking
away the No. 2 and No.
3 receivers from last
season.
Plus, tight end Tyler
Eifert — who set a club
record for touchdown

Kathy Willens | AP

Cincinnati Bengals’ A.J. Green (18) catches a pass in front of New York Jets’ Darrelle Revis (24)
during the first half of a Sept. 11 game in East Rutherford, N.J. Green has had a couple of huge games
receiving already, and the Bengals have needed them. Their new-look receiving corps is taking a while
to get into the flow, contributing to a 2-2 start.

catches by a tight end
with 13 — tore a ligament in his ankle during
the Pro Bowl and hasn’t
played yet.
The Bengals ﬁlled the
receiver openings by
signing Brandon LaFell
and drafting Tyler Boyd
from Pitt.
LaFell has 13 catches
in four games for 208
yards without a touchdown. Boyd has 12
catches for 130 yards
without a touchdown.
Green has bailed them
out with a couple of
big games. He caught
12 passes for 180 yards
in an opening victory
against the Jets, and
he had 10 catches for
173 yards in a win last
Thursday over Miami.

“Oh man, it’s just fun
to be lining up across
from him, getting plays
alongside him, communicating with him,” Boyd
said.
“Watching him make
plays like that, it’s amazing. He’s a guy you know
you can count on any
given play at any given
time.”
The Bengals are trying to get the rest of the
receivers up to that level
when they get close to
the goal line. They’ve
thrown for a lot of yards
— their passing game
ranks third in the NFL.
But they’ve struggled
inside the opponent’s
20-yard line. They’ve
converted only 31 percent of those chances

into touchdowns, the
worst in the NFL.
During the 4-0 start
last season, Eifert had
touchdown catches of
13, 8 and 9 yards; Green
caught TDs of 16, 80
and 67 yards; Jones
scored on catches of 45
and 16 yards; and Brandon Tate had a 55-yard
touchdown catch.
“We should have more
(touchdowns) than we
have,” offensive coordinator Ken Zampese said.
“We’ve put ourselves in
bad situations on our
own — self-inﬂicted.
Regardless of who we
have in there, we’re
better than what we’ve
shown and we’ll be better as we go forward.
We’ll make sure.”

Piqua defeats Sidney in long running rivalry
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) —
A football rivalry in its third
century was renewed last week
when Piqua traveled the 10 or
so miles to Sidney.
As has been the case for
most of the matchups, Piqua
was victorious, 33-13, in the
121st meeting since 1899.
The Indians improved to
77-38-6 in the series and have
won 12 of the past 14 and 32
of 37.
The Yellow Jackets were
attempting to win back-to-back
games vs. Piqua for the ﬁrst
time since 1978-79 but instead
have not beaten the Indians at
home since 2002.
This marked the 90th
straight year the southwestern
neighbors have played each
other at least once in a season.
With the victory, Piqua
reclaimed the “Battered Helmet” awarded the winner since
1974.

The old-style helmet is black
with a gold “Sidney” on the
left side and a blue “Piqua”
emblazoned on the red right
side.
The school colors are separated by a thick white stripe
down the middle.
“It is an ugly, old thing but
we are glad to have it,” Piqua
coach Bill Nees told the Piqua
Daily Call.
The rivalry is ﬁerce but
respectful.
Nees, Piqua’s coach since
1992, this year had his name
added to a plaque in the
visitors’ locker room of Sidney
Memorial Stadium that recognizes six other “outstanding”
opposing coaches.
“That was pretty cool,” Nees
said. “That is quite an honor.”
FANTASTIC FINISHES
Logan rallied from a 14-point
deﬁcit late in the third quarter
for its ﬁrst victory, 31-30, over

points and two aces,
while Alliyah Pullins ﬁnished with four
points. Jordan Roush
rounded out the MHS
total with two points
and one ace.
Betzing led Meigs
at the net with 14 kills
and three blocks. Pullins marked 12 kills in
the win, Oliver added
seven kills and a teambest 20 assists, while
Paige Denney chipped

for the victors, while
Devin Humphreys
added a block.
The Meigs defense
was led by Hendricks
with 11 digs and Roush
with 10.
The Lady Marauders
have now won back-toback matches and will
try to make it three
straight triumphs on
Thursday when they
host league-leading
Athens.

Encarnacion’s 11th-inning HR lifts Jays over O’s
TORONTO (AP)
— Edwin Encarnacion
advanced Toronto to the
AL Division Series in the
Blue Jays’ familiar manner
— with a big home run.
Encarnacion hit a threerun drive in the 11th
inning off Ubaldo Jimenez
, and Toronto beat the
Baltimore Orioles 5-2 in
Tuesday night’s AL wild
card game to advance to a
Division Series matchup
against old foe Texas.
“It was a very special
moment and a very special
opportunity,” Encarnacion
said through a translator.
Jose Bautista also
homered for the Blue
Jays , who open the Division Series on Tuesday
at Texas. Encarnacion’s
homer brought back
memories of the tiebreaking, three-run shot that
Bautista hit in the seventh
inning of Game 5 of last
year’s AL Division Series
win over the Rangers,
a shot punctuated by a
memorable bat ﬂip.
And the Blue Jays won
their last World Series
title in 1993 on Joe Carter’s walkoff home run .
“I was looking for a
fastball and I was trying
to put the barrel on it, get
a little bit in front because
the inﬁeld was playing

in, and I actually got it,”
Encarnacion said through
a translator.
Jimenez relieved Brian
Duensing with one out
in the 11th, and Devon
Travis singled in a 1-1
pitch. Reigning AL MVP
Josh Donaldson singled
on the next pitch, and
Travis went all the way to
third as left ﬁelder Nolan
Reimold bobbled the ball.
Encarnacion sent the
following pitch, a 91 mph
offering, soaring into the
second deck in left. Encarnacion immediately knew
it was gone and raised
both arms in triumph,
index ﬁngers pointed skyward.
The crowd of 49,934
chanted “Eddie, Eddie!”
as Encarnacion circled the
bases before being greeted
by a mob of teammates.
Encarnacion matched his
career-best with 42 home
runs in the regular season.
Jimenez said he was trying to throw a low slider
and induce a double play.
“It didn’t do anything,”
Jimenez said. “It stayed
up.”
Orioles closer Zach Britton, who was perfect in 47
save chances during the
regular season, never got
in the game.
“Nobody has been pitch-

ing better for us than
Ubaldo,” Baltimore manager Buck Showalter said .
“It didn’t work out.”
Britton warmed up
three times but didn’t
leave the bullpen.
“It’s frustrating but it’s
not my call,” Britton said.
“It was just frustrating
to have to sit there and
watch.”
Francisco Liriano
retired ﬁve straight batters on four groundouts
and a strikeout for the
win after closer Roberto
Osuna left with a sore
shoulder .
“The doctor told me
that I was going to be
ﬁne, I just need a couple
of days,” Osuna said. “I’ve
been pitching a lot lately.
They think it’s just fatigue
from the last couple of
weeks.”
Toronto beat Texas in
ﬁve-game Division Series,
sparked by Bautista’s
memorable homer. The
teams brawled in May this
year when Bautista was
punched in the face by
Rangers inﬁelder Rougned
Odor following a play at
second base.
“It’s going to be a very
interesting series, and
we’re looking forward to
it,” Encarnacion said.
The roof was open

at Rogers Centre, formerly SkyDome, where
all 24 previous postseason
games had been played
with it closed.
Bautista led off the second against Chris Tillman
with his ﬁfth postseason
homer. Mark Trumbo,
who led the major leagues
with 47 home runs, gave
Baltimore a 2-1 lead in
the fourth with a two-run
homer off Marcus Stroman .
Ezequiel Carrera’s RBI
single chased Tillman in
the ﬁfth.
When Toronto pinchhitter Melvin Upton Jr.
ﬂied out to the warning
track in left ﬁeld to end
the seventh, Orioles outﬁelder Hyun Soo Kim
was nearly struck by a
can that was thrown from
the stands. Center ﬁelder
Adam Jones angrily gestured toward the seats,
and Showalter came out
to register his displeasure
with the umpires.
“It’s tough when you
have that many people
in the ballpark and one
person does something
that reﬂects poorly on all
of them,” Showalter said.
“It can happen in any
ballpark. I don’t like anything that puts our guys in
harm’s way.”

Many teams keeping
a close eye on
Hurricane Matthew
CORAL GABLES, Fla. (AP) — Football games
were postponed, other events canceled and countless contingency plans were being made Tuesday
because of Hurricane Matthew, which could deliver a major blow to Florida later this week before
likely spinning up the East coast.
Storm shutters were being drawn shut across
windows at the University of Miami, where the
10th-ranked Hurricanes were preparing for their
annual rivalry game with No. 23 Florida State on
Saturday. Hurricane warnings were issued Tuesday
night for parts of Florida, with forecasters saying
hurricane conditions — winds of 74 mph or more
— were likely to hit the state Thursday.
“I don’t know what we’ll do, to be honest with
you,” Miami coach Mark Richt said. “Just keep
everybody safe, ﬁrst. We’ll do the best we can.”
The schedule of Saturday games in the Atlantic
Coast and Southeastern conferences could be
affected by the storm, and Tennessee Titans coach
Mike Mularkey said Tuesday night that there have
been preliminary discussions about his team playing Sunday’s game against the Miami Dolphins in
Nashville — if the storm necessitates a change.
“It’s just now kind of a wait-and-see for us,” Dolphins coach Adam Gase said.
Schools in Florida, Georgia, South Carolina and
North Carolina were already reacting, with some
soccer, volleyball and other collegiate contests
scheduled for the next few days either canceled
or postponed. South Carolina was still hoping to
play host to Georgia in their SEC football game
Saturday night, though even the state’s governor
suggested that was unlikely.
“As of now I can’t imagine that happening,” said
South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, who planned
to issue an evacuation order Wednesday affecting coastal areas in her state. “But certainly we’re
going to continue to watch this.”
A pair of FCS games originally set for Saturday
in South Carolina — Albany State at Charleston
Southern and Bethune-Cookman at South Carolina
State — have already been postponed. In North
Carolina, Elon moved its football game with New
Hampshire up a day to Friday due to the storm.
And dozens of this week’s high school football
games in Florida have already been postponed.
NBA and NHL teams also were making plans.
The Miami Heat were ﬂying home after their preseason opener in Washington on Tuesday night,
and weren’t scheduled to leave South Florida again
until Friday for a game this weekend in Kansas
City. Instead, the team was considering ﬂying out
again on Wednesday, just in case.
The Tampa Bay at Florida NHL preseason game
scheduled for Thursday remains scheduled, for
now — though the arena the Panthers call home
was in the area under a hurricane watch. The
Panthers were scheduled to ﬂy to West Point,
New York, on Friday, but if winds close airports
in the Miami area those plans would obviously be
affected.
Cancellations included the decision by Gulfstream Park West to scrap its live thoroughbred
racing cards for Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.
Wednesday was to be ﬁrst day of racing this season at the track in Miami Gardens, Florida.
“Because weather conditions the next few days
remain uncertain, we thought it was best to call off
the next few days,” Gulfstream Park general manager P.J. Campo said.
Richt said the Hurricanes were preparing for
several contingencies, including potentially using
the bubble at the Dolphins’ facility if inclement
weather keeps his team off its own practice ﬁelds
later this week.
The Atlantic Coast Conference — which could
have at least ﬁve Saturday football games directly
affected by the storm — said it was monitoring
Matthew closely and hoped that games will be
played as scheduled.
Florida State is scheduled to ﬂy in Thursday
night for the Miami game, though forecasters say
Thursday could be the day when the Miami area
gets the worst of Matthew’s wind.
“We’ve looked through every scenario known to
man and we’ll ﬁgure it out here when it gets there
and we’ll ﬂy down when they tell us to ﬂy down
and play when they tell us to play,” Florida State
coach Jimbo Fisher said.
Other Saturday ACC games that ﬁgure to be
potentially affected include Army at Duke, Virginia
Tech at North Carolina, Syracuse at Wake Forest
and Notre Dame at N.C. State.
Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly said pushing his
team’s game back to Sunday was possible, if events
warrant.
“Everything is on the table right now,” Kelly
said.

Mexico to appeal
latest fine by FIFA
MEXICO CITY (AP) — The Mexican Soccer
Federation says it will appeal a ﬁne imposed by
international soccer’s governing body over antigay chants by fans.
It was the third time in 10 months that FIFA
has sanctioned Mexico’s national team for the
habit of its fans yelling a gay slur during kicks by
opposing goalkeepers.
The latest ﬁne, for $31,675 (30,000 Swiss
francs), involves chants at qualifying matches for
the 2018 World Cup to be held in Russia.
Mexican federation secretary general Guillermo
Cantu said Tuesday that his group will appeal the
ﬁne because “in the speciﬁc context the chant is
not discriminatory.”

The Big 12: A league with virtually no defense
AUSTIN, Texas (AP)
— The worst job in football? Big 12 defensive
coordinator.
Just ask TCU coach
Gary Patterson.
“The worst job maybe
in America right now is
the defensive coordinator, especially in the Big
12,” Patterson said this
week after his Horned
Frogs gave up 52 points
in a loss to Oklahoma.
“Basically you’re going to
make about 70 calls in 20
seconds and you’re going
to be evaluated every
seven days, and by the
next day whether you did
a very good job or not.”
The Horned Frogs
aren’t alone. Big 12
defenses are suffering
every week.
Eight of the league’s
10 teams rank No. 77 or
lower nationally in total
defense as the yards and
points come in bunches.
Six rank No. 67 or lower
in scoring allowed. Four
of those — Oklahoma,
Kansas, Texas Tech and
Texas — all surrender
more than 35 points or
more per game.
And it could get worse.
Most of those ugly
stats were built against
non-conference opponents. The league’s highpowered offenses are
just getting warmed up
as only Baylor and Oklahoma State have played
more than one conference
game.
The outlier in all those
missed tackles and wide

open scoring passes is
Kansas State, which
ranks No. 4 in total
defense but struggles
to score. If the Wildcats
can just ﬁgure out how
to punch in a few touchdowns, they could run
away with the league.
After two straight
losses giving up 50 and
49 points, Texas coach
Charlie Strong had seen
enough . He demoted
coordinator Vance Bedford and will call defenses
himself this week against
Oklahoma.
Bedford may be
relieved to not be charged
with defending fast-tempo offenses that spread
the ﬁeld, put a premium
on open-ﬁeld tackling
and barely give defenders, or game ofﬁcials, a
chance to breathe.
For some coaches, it’s
not the game they love.
“It’s beyond ridiculous.
The way (offenses) run
to the line of scrimmage
and the referee has to
run out of there to snap
the football. To me, that’s
not football,” Oklahoma
defensive coordinator
Mike Stoops said. “What
they’re doing to football
is tough, it’s difﬁcult. I
don’t even know what to
call it anymore; I really
don’t.”
The Big 12 has had
breakneck offenses for
years, of course — it just
seems that the defenses
haven’t caught up. The
last time a Big 12 team
ranked in the top 10

in total defense was in
2010, when Texas was
No. 6 (TCU was No. 1
that season but didn’t
join the league until
2012).
The Longhorns were
No. 3 in total defense in
2009 when they played
for the national title.
When Oklahoma won the
2000 national championship, the Sooners had
a top 10 unit peppered
with big-time playmakers.
Those days of rock’em,
sock’em Big 12 defenses
are ancient history, Oklahoma State coach Mike
Gundy said.
“Defensive statistics
are not what they used to
be and they’re not ever
going to go back to the
way it used to be,” Gundy
said. His Cowboys beat
Texas 49-31 in a game
that passed 1,000 yards
of total offense.
“Offenses play fast …
There’s more speed on
the perimeter … (And)
we’re back in a trend here
where we’ve got fantastic
quarterbacks playing in
this league. When that
happens, they’re going
to run up 400-500 yards.
That’s just the way it is,”
Gundy said.
The league does have
some gunslingers. TCU’s
Kenny Hill, Texas Tech’s
Patrick Mahomes and
Oklahoma State’s Mason
Rudolph all rank in top
the top 10 nationally in
passing.
But Big 12 defenses
have been beaten up all

around the country this
season:
— Texas has surrendered more than 500
yards and three or more
touchdown passes three
times in the ﬁrst four
games, while forcing just
one turnover with no
interceptions.
— Texas Tech allowed
Arizona State’s Kalen
Ballage to score an
NCAA record-tying eight
touchdowns in a 68-55
loss. Ballage has scored
just two more touchdowns in the Sun Devils’
four other games.
— Defending Big 12
champion Oklahoma,
which made the College Football Playoff last
season, has given up
91 points in its last two
games.
When the Longhorns
and Sooners play their
annual rivalry game in
Dallas on Saturday, the
loser will come out 2-3
and facing a furious fan
base. After two losing
seasons, Strong is under
enormous pressure to
win this season or risk
losing his job.
A defensive coordinator at Florida when the
Gators won two national
titles, Strong is betting
on himself to turn around
Texas’ defense and season.
“I don’t think it’s desperate measures,” Strong
said. “I’ve done it before.
I see where I can help.
Sometimes you need new
energy and eyes.”

Nicklaus, other players say farewell to Palmer
By Doug Ferguson
AP Golf Writer

LATROBE, Pa. — A
farewell to the King
turned somber when
Jack Nicklaus, his voice
cracking as a large tear
formed in his left eye,
urged the elite and the
everyman to remember
how Arnold Palmer
touched their lives and
“please don’t forget
why.”
“I hurt like you hurt,”
Nicklaus said. “You
don’t lose a friend of 60
years and don’t feel an
enormous loss.”
The service Tuesday
at Saint Vincent College
in Palmer’s hometown
was ﬁlled with just
as much laughter and
warmth from stories
of the most signiﬁcant
ﬁgure in modern golf.
Nearly 1,000 golf dignitaries from around the
world, referred to by
former LPGA Commissioner Charlie Mechem
as the “elite battalion of
Arnie’s Army,” crammed
into the basilica.
Some 4,000 others headed to remote
sites across the college
to watch. Long lines
of trafﬁc formed two
hours before the service
began.
Palmer died Sept. 25
in Pittsburgh at age 87
as he was preparing for
heart surgery. His family had a private funeral
Thursday and asked that
a public service be held
after the Ryder Cup so
no one would be left
out.
“We were looking
down at the air strip and
the fog just suddenly
lifted,” Ernie Els said
after landing in one of
several private jets that
descended on Arnold
Palmer Regional Airport
in Latrobe. “This is a
beautiful day. We’ve all
met different people in
life. He was a man who
didn’t change. It didn’t
matter if you cut the
grass or you were a president. He was the same
with everybody. He was
just ... he was the man.”

Palmer won 62 times
on the PGA Tour,
including seven major
championships. He
inspired the modern
version of the Grand
Slam by going over to
the British Open and
making it important in
the eyes of Americans
again. He was a captain
twice in the Ryder Cup,
and the gold trophy the
Americans won Sunday
at Hazeltine sat on a
table for guests to see as
they took their seats.
But this service was
more about the lives
Palmer touched than the
tournaments he won.
In the large portrait
at the front of the stage,
Palmer wasn’t holding
a golf club or a trophy.
It was just the King and
that insouciant grin that
made everyone feel like
they were friends, even
if they had never met.
“Have there been better golfers? Perhaps, but
not many. Has anyone
done more for the game?
No one has come even
close,” former R&amp;A
chief Peter Dawson said.
“Is there a ﬁner human
being? I haven’t met one
yet.”
Ryder Cup captain
Davis Love III, Phil
Mickelson and a few
other members of the
U.S. team were there.
So was the generation
before them, Tom Watson and Curtis Strange,
Lee Trevino and Mark
O’Meara. Dozens of
others were there, along
with the heads of every
major golf organization.
All of them alternately
smiled and wiped away
the occasional tear.
PGA Tour Commissioner Tim Finchem said
he had known Palmer
since 1957 — Finchem
was 10 that year —
because “when you saw
him play, it was the
same thing as meeting
him.” He said Palmer
brought so many people
to golf because of his
attacking style, his television appeal and how
he carried himself.
“He had this other

Latrobe, Pa., Tuesday.

thing,” Finchem said. “It
was the incredible ability to make you feel good
— not just about him,
but about yourself. I was
amazed by how people
reacted to him. He took
energy from that and
turned right around and
gave it back.”
Mechem, the former
LPGA commissioner
who became one of
Palmer’s closest advisers, set the tone for the
service by asking the
crowd to remember the
image of Palmer walking up the 18th fairway,
hitching up his pants
and giving a thumbs-up.
Still, a touch of sadness
was inevitable.
“There’s an old saying that there are no
irreplaceable people,”
Mechem said, his voice
cracking toward the
end of the ceremony.
“Whoever made that
line didn’t know Arnold
Palmer. There will never
be another.”
Among the more
poignant tributes was
Palmer’s grandson, Sam
Saunders, who plays on
the PGA Tour.
“There wasn’t a big
difference between the
man you saw on TV and
the man we knew at
home,” Saunders said.
Saunders grew up
calling him “Dumpy”
because that’s what
his older sister said
when trying to call him
“Grumpy.” The name
stuck. That’s how Saunders had Palmer listed
in his phone, and he

used that number more
times than he could
remember.
The last call was a
week ago Sunday at
4:10 p.m., shortly before
Palmer died.
“He answered on the
ﬁrst ring. He was in the
hospital preparing for
surgery the next morning,” Saunders said.
“He told me to take
care of my babies, my
entire family. I intend to
do that and make him
proud. I told him I loved
him. He told me he
loved me back. That was
the last thing we said
to each other, and I will
cherish that the rest of
my life. And I’ll take the
best piece of advice he
gave me, to talk less and
listen more.”
Palmer’s co-pilot, Pete
Luster, ﬂew Palmer’s
plane over Saint Vincent
College for nearly an
hour before the service.
The crowd gathered outside the basilica when it
was over to watch Luster ﬂy overhead and tip
the wing.
He made one more
pass in the plane — tail
number N1AP — and
then soared upward
until it disappeared
behind a large, white
cloud.
Higher. Faster. That’s
how Palmer used to
ﬂy, that’s how he used
to play. That’s how he
lived.
“He was the king of
our sport,” Nicklaus
said. “And he always
will be.”
