She has caused me very little trouble · - she gets good grades, has well-behaved friends, etc. My problem is she got herself pregnant by her boyfriend of three months. He's a good kid. too. (I'll call him Danny.) Brandy ended up having a mi scarriage , so now we're back to "life as usual," as she and Danny see it. However, I am having a tough time with Danny hanging around. I can no longer look him in the eye. His parents were no help at all during the hellish week we experienced when Brandy was pregnant. Should I allow Danny to keep dating my daughter or send him packing? I feel caught in the middle. As a parent, I feel! should put a stop to the relationship. However, if I do, I'm afraid Brandy might run away. (I remember well how I felt when I was her age.) Please help. Abby. - TORN MOM IN OHIO DEAR TORN MOM: Consider this near-miss a wakeup call! You are overdue for a serious talk with Danny and his parents, because had the pregnancy continued, Danny would have been equally responsible for caring Dear Abby ADVICE for and supporting hi s child. It's time to face up to the fact that your children are now sexually active. Worry less that your daughter will run away, and more about what will happen if she and Danny conce1ve again. Danny and Brandy must learn that sex carries with it great responsibility - one that can sometimes last 18 years or more. Further, there is the danger of sexually transmitted disease to be con sidered. I urge you to schedule a doctor 's appointment for both of them. If that's not possible, contact Planned Parenthood . Brandy and Danny need to learn everythin g they can about birth control and self-control. DEAR ABBY: This Christmas, I received a beautiful gold necklace as a gift from my father. However, the pendant is in the shape of a religious symbol. I under- stand it may have been unclear to him that I feel reluctant to wear such a necklace, but in good conscience, I cannot because I follow a different faith'. Should I exchange it, or keep it and never wear it? I do not want to offend my dad, as he is my birth father and we met only recently. Since we are in the beginning of our relationship, I don ' t want to mess it up. On the other hand, it seems a waste to own jewelry that is never worn -- and I'm sure he' d notice. Please help me, Abby. If I exchange the necklace, there's a 100-day limit. -VEXED IN VEGAS DEAR VEXED: Write your father a note. Thank him for his thoughtfulness and generosity. Explain why you want to exchange the necklace. Your reason is a valid one. It's possible that, since you are just getting to know each other, he's unaware your religious beliefs differ from his.

Birchfield, who served on the Fort Randolph board of directors, said PPHS centered around the work of Trisha Barton, an abstractor from Detroit, who studied the battle extensively and had a "truckload of information.'' He said PPHS hoped to use Barton's information to make a cyclorama detailing the battle. "We tried to utilize her information and her for tourism," Birchfield said.

"We're essentially paying for them twice," said Barbara Riley, director of the Ohio Department of Job and Family Service 's Office for Children and Families. " If we could put that together, and do it in a consolidated fashion, we could see some savings." She estimated the state would save $2,000 a child annually, or $20 million a year. "The alternative would be to remove child from either Head Start or child care, but then the child gets less," Riley said. "We wanted to try to make the pain as little as possible for all concerned." The 4,000 Head Start slots will be eliminated as children already in the program become eligible for kindergarten and leave the program. The state won't enroll new children to take their places. The plan would not affect another 4,000 children who still would be served in traditional half-day Head Start programs, as well as the 35,000 children served by federally funded Head Start programs. "We know it's not an easy budget time, Changing lifestyles Gas outage blamed prompt West Virginia on extreme cold company to drop buttered steaks a Sunny Pt.

Taft also announced that 15,000 fewer families would be eligible for child · care help under proposed changes meant to slow the growth of the Taft state's child care sub. sidy program. Taft is to introduce his budget plan for the next two years Monday. It would need legislative approval to becoQle law. Under the proposal, called Head Start Plus, the state would eliminate 4,000 slots for traditional half-day Head Start programs, while expanding Head Start for poor children. " I am saddened that the number of children served has to be reduced," Taft said. "But I am confident that Head Start Plus will provide a greater benefit for low-income children." About 10,000 children from lowincome families would attend all-day every-day Head Start programs, instead of a traditional half-day education prqgram four days a week. Currently, the state is paying for 1.0,000 poor children to attend the halfday programs while also subsidizing many of their parents for child care. Taft said that's both inefficient for families but it's certainly not going to be easy for programs to do this," said Barbara Haxton, executive director of the Ohio Head Start Association, which represents 74 Head Start providers, that have I 0,000 staff members and serve roughly 60,000 children. "We're willing to meet this challenge, but is going to be major effort on part of the Head Start community." Taft also proJ?.Osed immediatelY, limiting who is eligible to receive child care subsidies, so that state money would be focused on the poorest families. The state's child care subsidy progrwn has grown by 20 percent yearly for the last four years as more parents moved off welfare and into jobs, Riley said. The state will spend about $600 million this year on its child care r.rogram, but only budgeted for $520 million. In the budget that started in July 1998 and ended in June 1999, the state spent $282 million. "The numbers have just gotten too big," Riley said. "There's no real option but notch back the eligibility level.' Currently, rarents at 185 percent of the poverty !eve may receive subsidies. Taft proposes scaling that back to ISO percent of the poverty level. That means only 85,000 of the 100,000 parents now receiving child care subsidies would be eligible. · Crystal Allen, executive director of the Pubhc Children Services Association, said more families inevitably will l!ave difficulty affording child care. "Either they ' ll struggle with keeping their job or find other place to keep children, which may or may not be safe for their ·children," Allen said. · 40s. Monday...

(AP)- Changing lifestyles have forced Buzz Food Service to end production of buttered steaks, once. its signature product and a dinner staple in West Virginia's coalfields for 50 years. The last batch of Buzz Buttered Steaks rolled off the line Thursday at the company's plant outside Charleston. "This is almost like a funeral for us," said Dick Gould, president of Buzz Food Service. "We basically made them for the past four or five years for sentimental reasons." At one time, Buzz Food Service sold I million packages of buttered steaks annually in West Virginia, Ohio, Kentucky, Pennsylvania and Maryland . Last year, the company sold fewer than 100,000 packages, Gould said. Buttered steaks are square pieces of cube steak packaged with pats of butter that require only a few minutes in a frying pan. Once considered a convenience, the steaks have given way to fast food and frozen microwave dinners . "Women are working BLUEFIELD, W.Va. (AP) An unusually deep ground freeze brought on by single-digit temperatures was responsible for a natural gas line leak that cut off service to about 4,000 cus.tomers this week, Bluefield Gas said Friday. Only a handful of customers remained without heat · Friday. Technicians have not been able to reach those customers to restore service, the company said. Service was disrupted Monday morning when the main line serving businesses and residences in Bluefield, Princeton and Bluefield, Va. ruptured. "I'm not angry, I'm just glad they turned it on. I know they did it as fast as they could," said ChristiJ:Ie more now and they ' re looking for more conve niences," said Betty Umberger, an o,ffice wqrker at Buzz Food Service since May 1969. "Even though they (buttered steaks) are easy to make, you have to make side dishes, too , to make a whole meal." A population decline in the coalfields, where buttered steaks were popular, also contributed to the prpduct's demise, Gould said. "This is a very sentimental time," said Gould. "You can't do anything for 50 years if you don ' t have wonderful people working for you." W. Todd of Bluefield, whose service was restored Thursday. "When I think of other people in the world who don't even have water to drink, I feel fortunate." · Bluefield Gas engineers determined that single-digit temperatures caused an unusually deep ground freeze.

Shockley said the pipe was buried 3 feet underground below the frost line. "This was a highly unusual situation," he sa1d."

Charleston,school to extend year by 10 days CHARLESTON, W.Va. A year-round (AP) Charleston elementary has decided to extend its school year by I 0 days in an effort to help low-income students. Piedmont Elementary will require students to attend school 190 days rather than the state-mandated 180 days beginning this summer. 'The more time you spend on task, ~em~ y~u're going to learn, ' Principal Steve Knighton told the Kanawha County Board of Education on Thursday. "We want more opportunities for our students to succeed" About 92 percent of the school's students qualify for free and reduced meals, a federal measure of poverty. Piedmont became the first school in the state to switch to a year-round calendar. Students go to school for nine weeks and are off for three weeks. Under the new plan, which begins in July, students will alternate between I(). and nine-week sessions with breaks in between. Federal money for · schools with high percentages of lowincome students will pay for the extra days. The board said it supports Piedmont's plan.

NATIONAL VIEW Nowhere Reinstituting drcift subverts iffective all-volunteer force • The San Diego Union· Tribune, on bringing back the draji: The first thing to be said about New York Rep. Charles Rangel's proposed legislation to reinstitute military conscription is that it is going nowhere. Rangel and co-sponsor Michi gan Rep. John Conyers know this. What they do hope to achieve is a public and political discussion that plays to their themes. How and by whom the price for war is paid is a fit subject for debate. most especially as a possible war in Iraq looms. Rangel and Conyers are liberal Democrats and AfricanAmericans. Both are Korean War veterans. Both perceive the current burden of any U.S: military action as falling disproportionately on racial and ethnic minorities. For starters. the all-volunteer military is working superbly, and has for three decades. On battlefields of the future, the Rangei-Conyers army of short-term, inadequately trained and only partially willing conscripts would be as out of place as British redcoats. As for proportional sacrifice, it's true some racial and ethnic minorities are disproportionally represented in today's all-volunteer force. But, then, African-Americans, Hispanics and everyone else join the military today for all the right reasons: Opportunity. ellcellent training. pay nearly comparable with civilian occupations, travel, adventure. the matchless camaraderie of service life, and, of course, the chance to serve their country.

That's nonsense Robust debate is one of the things that has made this country great. The Founding Fathers really went after one another during the forging of the Constitution, and sometimes the verbal rancor was frightening in its intensity. But the Founders had common ground in that they believed in the concept of a free United States and that individual rights were the key to that freedom. Theirs was a labor of love, and they all were proud to be called Americans. Fast forward to the current debate over Iraq. The intensity is cenainly there, and, for the most part, the differences of opinion are sincere. But there are major~xcep­ tions. Some Americans who object to any military action against Iraq believe that the United States is, itseff, a terrorist nation and that anything the Bush administration proposes is to be scorned. A few days ag9, an organization called "Not In Our Name" paid for a two-page advertisement in The New York Tunes, part of which said this: "We too watched with shock the horrific events of September II, 200 I. We too mourned the thousands of innocent dead and shook our heads at the terrible scenes of carnage even as we recalled similar scenes in Baghdad, Panama City and, a generation ago, Vietnam." What? Is that advertisement saying that the United States is guilty of crimes akin to those of the 9-11 terrorists? There is a huge difference between honest dissent and distorted propaganda designed to denigrate your own country. Equating the terrorist attack on 9-11 with the United Nations' mandated removal of Saddam Hussein from Kuwait and the arrest of the drug-dealing dictator of Bill O'Reilly COLUMNIST Panama, Manuel Noriega, is incredibly insulting to the people of America. This text goes far beyond protest - this is antiAmericanism. The advertisement was signed by wellknown radicals like Howard Zinn and Noam Chomsky. But it was also signed by entenainers like Joan and John Cusack, Danny Glover, Susan Sarandon, Martin Sheen and Sandy Duncan, of all people. Jesse Jackson and AI Sharpton also lent their names to this piece of propaganda, which, I believe, puts those gentlemen into sharp perspective. Ms. Sarandon, m particular, is lashing out against people who are calling her anti-American. She recently told the British press that she is just "raising questions." But signing on to an ad that implies your countty committed terrorism on the scale of the 9/11 attacks is far more than just "asking questions." And most people know it. The "Not In Our Name" group is a front for the Bill of Rights Foundation, a far left jli'OUP that has been around for 35 years. It IS a tax-exempt organization that, for the past few years, has given most of its donated funds to the defense fund of Mumia Abu-Jamal, the Philadelphia cop killer whose case has been appealed to death, pardon the pun. The evidence against this man remains overwhelming: Now, the Bill of Rights Foundation has turned its attention to opposing the policies of the Bush administration and has convinced some celebrities to get on the train. But where were these celebrities when President Clinton ordered the bombing of Belgrade, which led to a re~ime change in Serbia? Was Slobodan Mtlosevich a direct threat to the United . States? Could it be that some in the anti-war movement are selective in their strategic targets? Sorry about the military reference. The sad truth is that there are some American citizens who consider President Bush to be niore of a threat to the world than Saddam Hussein. These people are entitled to their opinion, of course, but when the dissent becomes vitriolic propaganda, then judgments must be made. · Saying that the United States committed terrorism in the Gulf War and Panama is outrageous and foolish. It is also antiAmerican.

A more difficult task will be to match his stark rhetoric with the hard evidence against Iraq bein~ demanded by doubting allies and skeptical Americans. It's now up to Secretary of State Colin Powell to persuade the U.N. Security. Council next week that the Bush administration does, in fact, have the goods on Saddam Hussein, as Bush suggested in his withering attack on the Iraqi leader in the State of the Union speech broadcast around the world. "If this is not evil, then evil has no meaning," Bush said after cataloguing Saddam 's alleged accumulation of weapons of mass destruction and atrocities against his own people. Bush cast the United States as ready to lead an army to strike down Saddam "for the safety of our people and for the peace of the world." The president kept up the line of attack on Wednesday, telling a Grand Rapids, Mich., audience that mere containment of Saddam was no longer an option. "You don't hope that therapy will somehow change h1s evil mind," he said. Bush's tendency to draw moral distinctions has caused alarm among Europeans and other allies and could complicate Powell's efforts next week as he lays out his case. ' In fact, Bush has a history of speaking in stark black and white terms - onl y to pull back if things don't work out as planned. After the Sept. II, 200 I , teJror attacks, he vowed to get Osama bin:Laden, "dead or alive." But the suspected mastermind of • those attacks remains at large - and is sel" dom mentioned at the White House these days. He wasn't in Tuesday night's speech. "It's apparently Osama bin Forgotten," said Sen. Byron Dorgan, D-N.D. Also missing: the "axis of evil," Bush's 2002 State of the Union characterization of Iraq, Iran and North Korea. The phrase hasn't been heard much since the disclosure last fall that North Korea was restarting its nuclear weapons program -. and the administration's pursuit of a diplomatic course with Pyongyang alon~side a mili~ one with Ba$hdad. "Dtfferent threats require very dtfferent policies," Bush said. Bush's stronll rhetoric "appeals to the American pubhc, strengthens his position at home and helps persuade the American people of the necessity of going into Iraq. So domestically. it's certainly a plus," said Lee Hamilton, who was the Democratic chairman of the House International Relations Committee during the 1991 Gulf War. "But on the international level, the strong division of right and wrong and the heavy sense of moralism undoubtedly makes the diplomats' chores more difficult. And it leads to an exacerbation of the feelings between the countries," said Hamilton, director of the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars. Several polls after Tuesday night's speech suggested that Bush made some headway in boosting support for military action in Iraq, especially among Republicans. Sandy Berger, who was President Clinton's national security adviser, welcomed some of Bush's tough language. "He did make the argument very stron!liY that Saddam has not complied, and I thmk he put it in terms that were more understandable to people and more focused." Even so, Berger said, "there was no effort in that speech to make it clear that . we would rather do this through a broad coalition." Bush's steely resolve won praise from other Republicans. "It is obvious the president is showing incredible moral leadership," House Majority Leader Tom Delay, R-Texas, said Wednesday. But that could also spell trouble. "When you put things in moral terms, that limits your ability to negotiate," said Stephen Hess, a presidential scholar at the Brookings Institution and a former White House speechwriter. "If it's evil, you can't go for half of evil. That's why we're in a world that deals in nuance." Bush rdcapped his administration's case but left it up to Powell to offer specifics in his Feb. 5 Security Council presentation. Powell was expected to share sensitive intelligence evidence, includinll satellite photographs allegedly showme; Iraqi efforts tO remove evidence from Sttes and hide it from weapons inspectors. So far, skeptical allies remained skeptical, unswayed by Bush's doomsday rhetoric. "We have not seen any reason so far to undercut the inspection process. The inspections are useful, they are efficient and effective. And they certainly should continue," Russia's ·ambassador to the United Nations, Sergey Lavrov, told reporters in New York. What would it take to change his mind? "We would like to see undeniable proof. OK?" (Tom Raum 'lras covered natianal and intematioMI affairs for The Associated Press since 1973.) Also preceding her in death were two brothers, Levie and Lenard Curry; and four sisters, Hester Brooks, Ada Adkins, Stella Marten and Margie Curry.

Humphreys has been replaced by Frank Pifer who formerly managed the AEP Kanawha River Plant at Glasgow.. He is a graduate of Fairmont State College and started his career in 1987 at the John Amos Plant at St. Albans, W. Va., moved to the Kanawha· River Plant in 1999 and was named plant manager there in April 2000. Kenneth Frazier, who has managed AEP's Knox Lee Plant in Longview, Texas, replaced Pifer. Another Sporn plant managerial employee, Gary Jones, has also retired from his post as energy production. He has been at the plant since 1978 in various managerial capacities. Jones replacement at Sporn History from PageA1 For the Recold is Debra Wrocxzynski who had been senior coordinator at AEP's Gavin Plant at Cheshire. She has held various en~ineering posts at the Gavm Plant where she has worked since 1987. Humphreys and Jones 'are among several recent managerial retirements at AEP plants that have been characterized as "great losses of experience ' by 1ohn Norris, AEP senior vice president, Regulat'ed Power Generation. "These individuals have brought great depth and breadth of experience and expertise to AEP - an asset that cannot easily be replaced. Their retirements are a great loss at AEP but, on a personal level, we understand their decisions to retire and wish them all the very best," Norris said. "Our new plant managers have tremendous shoes to fill. They also bring a wealth of experience and we are confident that they will lead our plants to continued high levels of operating efficiency," he added. The efforts of the two historical societies came as a surprise to some members of the Mason County Tourism Committee.

'We'd be more than happy to help them," Preece sa1d. "We need to work together to make this successful." As far as the. possibility of reviving a historical society in Mason County, both Artrip and Birchfield are skeptical. Both said politics and regionalism - the two underlying causes of the histoncal societies' demise - would have to be put aside. "It's definitely unfortunate that we were not able to endeavor what we wanted to do," Artrip said. "The climate of the day did not permit it arid ·I don't know if it would today unless certain interests pick it up," Birchfield said.

(Kevin Kelly) Comiskey Park to become U.S. Cellular Field CHICAGO (AP) - For 93 years, the Chicago White Sox played their home games at Comiskey Park. Now, in a sign of the times, their ballpark is changing names, a switch that will have a corporate ring to it. The team announced Friday that Comiskey Park will now be known as U.S. Cellular Field under a 23year deal with the wireless service provider that will pay the White Sox $68 million ,, over 20 years. "U .S. Cellular and the White Sox have forged a unique partnership that will provide the resources for major design changes to the ballpark that will benefit every White Sox fan," White Sox owner Jerry · Reinsdorf said in a statement During the team's winter fan convention, White Sox spokesman Scott Reifert said more details would be disclosed at a news conference Monday, but that none of the parties would comment further until then. The White Sox have played at the current Comiskey Park since 1991. It replaced old Comiskey Park, across the street, the team' s home from · 1910through 1990. In 1909, Charles Comiskey purchased a tract of land on the city's south side at the corner of 35th and Shields and commissioned architect Zachary Taylor Davis to design a spacious ballpark. The cornerstone was laid on March 17, 1910 and Comiskey Park opened on July I, 1910. The new Comiskey Park has undergone renovations the last three offseasons and will host the All-Star game July 15. OHSAA declares James ineligible BY ToM WmtERS Associated Press CLEVELAND - LeBron James' season ended with the suddenness of one of his ferocious dunks. Wham! The nation's top high school player - and projected ~A star- was ruled ineligible as an amateur because he accepted free sports jerseys, ending the celebrated senior's high school career. The decision Friday by Ohio Hi~h School Athletic Association comnussioner Clair Muscaro came four days after James, the 6-foot-8 phenom from Akron's St. Vincent-St. Mary, was cleared for accepting a $50,000 sports utility vehicle from his mother. Last Saturday, James was ~iven two retro sports Jerseys valued at $845 - for free from a clothing store, the OHSAA said. The trendy jerJames seys were replicas of those worn by former Chicago Bears running back Gale Sayers and Washington Bullets center Wes Unseld. Muscaro's ruling means St. VincentSt. Mary, must forfeit Sunday's win over Akron Buchtel. The Fighting Irish ( 13-1 ). ranked No. 1 by USA Today, have five games left in the season, plus state playoff games. "There are things that happen 'in life," said James' coach, Dru Joyce. 'These are life's lessons." James can appeal the ruling. Gloria James said through atturney Fred Nance that the family was "deeply disappointed" with the ruling and was evaluating its options. "We're going to abide by the ruling, said Joyce, who would not comment on a possible appeal. "We think that maybe there are some fact~ that could change things."

So far this season, the Rebels have been the only ones as South Gallia defeated Hannan, 57-48. It was only the second loss of the season for the Wildcats, both coming against the Rebels. "That's exciting for us to have beaten a team twice," said South Gallia head coach Mitch Meadows. "We swept a team that has defeated every other opponent they've fdced . We stressed that to our kids and they stepped up tonight. "This is the first time this year we've overcome adversity ·and beat somebody." Jason Merrick led South Galli a (6-9) with 19 points. while Curtis Waugh scored 12 and Josh Waugh and Brandon Caldwell each netted nine. For the Wildcats (8-2), Timo Krause scored 17 points, followed by Dillion Sabolsky with II points and Mark Sabolsky with 10.· · . _. "We wanted to put a lot of pressure on their guards," said Meadows. "They're not the deepest team and we wanted to wear them down and I think we did a pretty good job with that." Hannan closed out the first half on a strong note, outscoring South Galli a 11-1. in the final 4:09 of the second quarter as the Wildcats led 27-20 at halftime. Hannan also outscored South Gallia 17-7 in the second frame . "We was just trying to get the hall inside in to our post players," said Hannan head coach, Wayne Richardson. "There was just a lot of aggressive play. This team is not an aggressive, rough team. You get rough with us and we shy away from them." The Wildcats extended their biggest lead of the game a basket by Krause to open the second half to put Hannan up by nine. A pair of Merrick baskets, though, sparked a 13-1 run by the Rebels as South Gallia regained control of the game, 33-30. "At halftime, we didn't change a whole lot," said Meadows. ''I thought we lost a little intensity in the second quarter and got our heads down. They came out (after halftime) and took control of the game." South Gallia's Josh Waugh makes a move to the basket while Hannan's Dillion Sabolsky comes in for the defensive pres~ure during the Rebels' 57-48 win Friday.

At first the game looked like it could be a shutout, but instead the Warren Warriors made the Big Blacks sweat a .little bit before finally conceding Point Pleasant a hard fought 57-52 victory. At first it seemed so easy. The Big Blacks were flying down the court and scoring at will. At the other end of the court, the Big Blacks forced turnovers , blocked shots, and grabbed rebound s . These thing s helped Point Pleasant build a 33- 18 half time lead , but also contributed to the Big Blacks complacency in the second half that allowed the Warriors back into the game . The Big Blacks started the game on a 5-0 run that featured a threepointer and steal for a lay up by Ashley Pyles . This got the high tempo Point Pleasant offense up and running and they didn't stop to catch their breath until half time. "I thought it was all effort that got us our lead," said coach Richie Blain .

The Gold Glove second baseman and the Houston Astros agreed Friday to a • one- year contract extension through 2004, a deal that contains a club option for 2005 and could be worth up to $9 million over two years. Biggio, a four-time Gold Glove winner at second, is being moved to the outfield to make room for former NL MYP Jeff Kent, who left San Francisco in December when the Astros gave him an $18 .2 million, two-year deal. . "This was a tough situation for everyone," Astros general manager Gerry Hunsicker said. "The main factor for Craig was that he was being asked to move to a new position in the last year of his contract. We had empathy for . that and we wanted to show what he has meant to the Astros over the years." , Biggio will earn $8 million in 2003, the final season of a $33 million, four-year contract. The new deal calls for a $3 million salary in 2004 and gives the Astros a a $3 million OP,tion for 2005 with a $1 mtllion buyout. Biggio can earn $1.5 million annually in performance bonuses, $250,000 each for 450, 500, 550, 600, 650 and 700 plate appearances.

However, the Warriors finally found their outside shooting and got a trio of three pointers from Carson Leach that spurred a II - 3 run that left Point Pleasant with a slim four point lead with I: 15 left on the clock. After a lay up by Eichinger and a free throw by Pmkerton, Point Pleasant's lead had been cut io one. The Big Blacks responded by settling down and playing smart basketball. Handley converted two free throws and then threw an inbound pass across the court to a wide open Deshuk. Deshuk's lay up with nine second left put Point Pleasant up by five and effectively ended the game. "We have yet to figure out how to find a way to play for a whole game," said Blain. "When we do that, we're going to be pretty darn good." In JV action, Point Pleasant was able to edge Warren 52-4 7. Steven Deshuk and Kevin Hudnall both had 19 points to lead the Big Blacks.

OSU's-Dials appears closer to additional year of eligibility COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - Injured Ohio State center Terence Dials may be closer to an additional year of eligibility. . . . Coach Jim O'Brien said it was unlikely the 6-foot-9.sophomore would return to play this season unless the Buckeyes dramatically improve. If he doesn't play another game, l>ials can qualify for a medical redshirt and retain three years of eligibtlity, according to NCAA rules. The Buckeyes are 9-9 overall and 2-5 in the Big Ten. They play at home Saturday against Northwestern. "If, in the middle of February, we're still .500, I'm not so sure it's worth it," O'Brien said of taking Dials off the sideline ~ "But if we've gotten on a little bit of a roll and there's a chance for us to still get in (the NCAA Tournament), who knows?" Dials is recovering from a stress fracture in his lower back and last played Dec. 18 against Pittsburgh. He averaged seven points and 5.8 rebounds in the first six games of the season. He was back on the court Thursday for individual drills.
