Darren Paterson, ea aa Sports Editor 0, in case you’ve been sorting S mé&m’s alphabetically for the exact seven days between my deadlines (Nov 11-18) here’s an update on what you've missed in the world of sports. This week was full of interesting tid- bits but I'll start by grouping all of the football notes together. First off, Emmitt Smith finally gathered his 18,000th rush- ing yard in the NFL while also gathering two touchdowns in last week’s game. Also in the NFL, ABC has taken a ridiculous amount of bad press after a harmless opening gag to their Monday Night Football. The joke was a commercial where, long story short, a woman takes off her clothes (you don’t see anything...pervs) in order to convince Terrell Owens not to play in the game. I’ve seen this commercial in its entirety and it was actually pretty funny, but apparently it’s not fit for the Monday Night Football viewers-who must’ve been appalled (because 25-year-old, beer drink- ing men usually are offended by naked women). And in the CFL, some woman is suing the Winnipeg Blue Bombers because she got hit in the head with a beer bottle at a playoff game in 2002. I always wonder why people wait two years to sue a company instead of filing a complaint when the problem first arises. Still with football, you may have heard of how BC Premier Gordon Campbell won 10 pounds of bison steaks from Saskatchewan Premier Lorne Calvert. Well, depending on who won last Sunday’s Grey Cup, Campbell has, this time, put up 20 pounds of BC beef to an equal amount of Ontario beef. He’s also bet a pound of his own flesh with an American shylock on this year’s Super Bowl. Ge Bears! fn the “holy shit!” news, it turns out that some 21-year-old college student got killed in Boston when a pepper spray pel- let was shot into her eye. The girl was out in the streets on October 21, celebrating the Red Sox* win over the Yankees along With the other fans, when an:officer acci- dentally missed his target and shot her instead. The Officét™Wwas recently identi- fied*but nothing has come of it yet. And that cheerfully leads us right into the random notes section. Starting with the local stuff, the Vancouver Molson Indy is no more after 15 years of racing glory. Cart racing is just having too hard a time staying afloat at all and therefore our city’s event was deemed expendable. Also, the Manitoba Moose won their first game in the new MTS Centre by a score of 4—2. The first goal scored in the new arena was netted by Nolan Baumgartner. Canadian Steve Nash picked apart his former team, the Dallas Mavericks, and really put on a passing clinic, finishing with 17 points and 18 assists. In MLB, Pedro Martinez, who received, and responded to, a damn fine New York taunting in these last play- offs, has with George Steinbrenner and talked deal with the boss. Nothing is set in a way, but this woulda really “a CODSideisianaaiilnal he recently dealts. ‘the YTattkees fans met Yankees’ one of their most embarrassing losses in team history. In boxing, Evander Holyfield has been suspended by the New York boxing com- mission after his latest drubbing at the hands of Larry Donald. He will now need medical clearance to fight again. You may also recall that I reported that the head organizer of the 2006 Turin Olympics had resigned? Well, he has since with- drawn his resignation as what he thought was going to be a power struggle has been resolved. And finally, more tragic news to bring you down. Thirty- five-year-old Dominic Mobilio died of a suspected heart attack.

Women Win Big Over TWU Dave Pearcey, OP Contributor he only rugby of the weekend of the 21st saw the second-division women remain in first place with a 25-5 win over Trinity Western University. Playing in the fog at Queen’s HOveMber = ean/eodl Park, the locals totally dominated territo- rially in the first half, but failed to take advantage of several opportunities. Anita Dhillon did manage to set up Rikkilee Jones for an early score; but only a try on the final play of the half by Whitney Sousa gave Douglas some breathing room at 10-0. Scrumhalf Tia Staller increased the lead by five with a 35-metre break down the short side of the field immediately after the restart. However, Trinity then surprised Douglas with some good play and managed to record a try of their own. Staller then received an errant-clear- ing kick from the Spartans’ fullback and sprinted past several defenders for anoth- er try from 40 metres out. Jones closed out the scoring with her second of the game.
