She’s wishing for a chance at competing
Sunday and Monday in the individual events
finals. If not, Strug will leave Atlanta with
memories of her leap of a lifetime, already
replayed endlessly, and the gold medal that
came with it.
•Softball
The powerhouse U.S. softball team contin
ued its impressive roll through the first-ever
Olympic competition in its sport. Lori Harrig-
an threw a two-hitter as the Americans posted
their third shutout in four games.
The combined scores of the four victories
was indicative of the domination: United
States 29, victims 1. The only criticism of the
U.S. team has come from its own players.
of the Virgin Islands.
•Soccer
The U.S. soccer team, despite a:,
crowd of 58,012 in Washington’s RFK
um, was knocked out of contention aftt,
1 tie with Portugal. The Americansnef.
win to escape the first round.
•Baseball
The U.S. baseball team, heading toward
an eventual showdown with defending
gold medalist Cuba, won 15-3 over Italy to
run its Olympic mark to 3-0. Cuba is the
only other team without a loss in the
round-robin tournament.
The Americans hit four homers Wednes
day, two by outfielder Mark Kotsay.
“A lot of guys got their bats going today,”
Kostay said. “We had a real good effort today.”
•Swimming
The Americans, seeking a fifth day of
dominance at the pool, were shut out in
three races before capturing the women’s
400-meter medley relay. The U.S. swimmers
medal count: 8 gold, 8 silver, 2 bronze.
Smith, who has come out of nowhere to
rule women’s swimming, stood smiling wide
ly as the Irish flag was raised above her
head for the third time. She can equal
Evans’ four gold medals before leaving At
lanta with a win in Friday’s 200 butterfly.
•Basketball
The Dream Team was back in action later
Wednesday. The basketball team, which has
looked sluggish, defeated defending bronze
medalist Lithuania, 104-82.
•Boxing
Light heavyweight boxer Antonio Tarver
defeated Russia’s Dmitry Vybornov with a
performance so listless even the U.S. fans
booed. The boxers pushed their first-round
mark to 9-1 when David Diaz scored a
knockout at 139 pounds over Jacobo Garcia

about $100. Finke’s paddle has
inverted rubber, which means
the smooth side of the rubber is
facing outward. This increases
the speed of the pingpong ball.
“It’s enjoyable smashing a
ball at 100 miles per hour,”
Finke said.
Finke’s students often ask
to play with him. He said they
are curious.
”1 try to take it easy with
them — show them the basics,”
Finke said.
Some players who practice
with Finke provide him with
good competition. Srikar Chun-
duri, an industrial hygiene and
safety graduate student, has
been playing Finke for a year.
“I saw him playing,” Chun-
duri said.
“He’s just so good I couldn’t
resist playing him. He started
coaching me and helping me in
my game. He gives a lot of per
sonal attention to all the play
ers. He’s very knowledgeable
about the sport.”
Finke has been a profesi
A&M since 1988. He tea
psychology classes in crel
and chaotic thinking.
Jason Fowler, a junior*
cultural engineering majori
he sees Finke at the RecC|
all the time.
“Before we graduattl
want to play him ... but!j
no one’s around. That'il
goal,” Fowler said.

“I wasn’t very happy about the decision
because I’m having a baby in December and
Columbia is closer to my house,” Mitchell
said. “I have also heard that you receive bet
ter service there (Columbia) when you go to
emergency care.”
Chris Bailey, an associate professor of
poultry science, said he is also frustrated by
the inconvenience.
“We already have limitations under this
plan, and this decision is just limiting my
choices one more time,” Bailey said. “I have
been treated at Columbia, my family has
been treated at Columbia, [and] I am just a
whole lot more familiar with them.”
Radefeld said ultimately this decision
will only help increase the quality of ser
vices provided.
“This is what competition is all about,”
Radefeld said. “Two institutions arecorjr playwrig
ing, so everyone is on their toes."
Ogburn said the nature of the dec
aligns Columbia against Scott & Whiti
battle for business.
‘We understand the decision andiri
had a different outcome, but I hope
possibility for future positive relations
Scott & White,” Ogburn said. “But basi:
they have drawn a line in the sand
that they are a competitor, so we are?
to treat them as such.”
