2F The Capital Times The Weekend of July 28-29,2001 Don't expect NCAA to just slap UW's wrist Does anybody else get the feeling that once the NCAA gets done with its case against the University of Wisconsin athletic department, that Bad- ger sports will be penalized back to the dark ages? Or at least back to the Mor- ton era? The powers that be at the UW are mostly putting on happy faces leading up to an Aug. 11 meeting with the NCAA Committee on Infrac- tions. ' ' ' But what started as an inves- tigation into the Shoe Box free- bies now has led to separate athlete-housing violations. You can only wonder what is behind door No. 3. While we are led to believe the dreaded NCAA "death pen- alty" seems unlikely, don't ex- pect a slap on the wrist, either. Todd Finkelmeyer HIT AND RUN 'The worst part of all, how- ever, is that the UWs once- solid reputation both athleti- cally and academically will be tarnished on a national level for years to come. | While theBrewers were busy doing their best Bad News Bears impersonation earlier this week, the franchise as a whole was laughing all the way to the bank. The Brewers lost their 10th straight game, 3-1, to the Dodgers Monday night but drey a sellout crowd of 42,132 to Miller Park. The Crew then ran its losing streak to 11 straight Tuesday night, but still drew 34,444 fans. Milwaukee finally won a game Wednesday, beating the Dodgers, 4-3, be- fore an afternoon crowd of 39,223. That's over 115,000 fans for three games. As a comparison, the Brew- ers drew less than 64,000 fans for a three-game series last July 28-30 at County Stadium vs. the Colorado Rockies. Arid those games were played on a Friday through Sunday. Hopefully, the Brewers will . spend their newjfunds wisely during the offseason. Other- wise, don't expect the fans to return in 2002. .

QUOTE, UNQUOTE The committee responsible for naming fish in the Americas has changed the common name of the western Atlantic's largest grouper from "jewfish," which some found offensive, to "Goliath grouper." Commented Rabbi Bruce Diamond of Temple Beth-El in Fort Myers, Fla.; "In the universe of things that need to change, the name of the big grouper is low on the list." TODAY'S TRIVIA Who was the last Brooklyn Dodger active in the major leagues? Answer in Scprecard, 5F. . Maybe all golfers in- cluding us hacks, and not just the pros should use caddies. Then, just like the pros, we could blame the caddies for ev- erything that goes wrong dur- ing a round of golf instead of looking in the mirror. While there is good rea- son for fans of the Green and Gold to be optimistic heading into the 2001 campaign — the Packers went 7-3 over their last 10 games hi 2000 — at least three red flags have been raised hi the opening days of training camp. First, the coaching staff ap- pears to be counting on the mammoth Gilbert Brown to magically return to top form after eating himself out of the NFL. Second, the organization seems to be praying that the over-priced and under- achieving Antonio Freeman will magically turn his life — and game around. And finally, the team is counting on rookie first-year defensive end Jamal Reynolds to pay immediate div- idends as a sackmaster. Now this isn't to say that the Packers shouldn't contend for a playoff spot in 2001, but counting on big years from Brown, Freeman and Reynolds seems to be a bit of a reach. | There is no better storyin sports than Lance Armstrong's run to three straight Tour de France titles after battling back from testicular cancer. The Capital Times re- ported on Tuesday that a few people in the neighborhoods surrounding Camp Randall Sta- dium are upset with the Univer- sity of Wisconsin's plans to add 8,000 seats to the stadium. Some of the 30 residents who attended a meeting Mon- day at Edgewood College aired their concerns about large game-day crowds to UW asso- ciate athletic director Al Fish. As someone who lived close to Camp Randall for seven years — and looked forward to game days it's difficult to sympathize. The feeling here is, if you were worried about big crowds in the neighborhood a handful of times each year, why move .Into the area hi the first place? It's not like Camp Randall Sta- dium popped up overnight it has been there for 84 years. But if you are truly dis- turbed, put your house where your mouth is: If it's of similar size and hi decent shape, I'll trade you my 5-year-old home on the edge of Madison for your home in the Camp Randall area —straight up. Didn't think so. The generation lap All-City meet binds families By Tamlra Surprenant The Capital Times MIDDLETON — The plan- ning of the 2001 All-City swim- ming and diving meets was an endeavor co-directors Cathy Welton and Kathy Neish took on more than nine months ago. While the competition takes center stage, the event itself is one of great proportions — and in its 40th year — one of great tradition.

"Now, we're old enough where we have multiple generations of families who have participated in the All-City Meet," said Neish, whose chil- dren, Marcus, 17, and Alex, 15, will compete in the meet. The Welton family is an ex- ample of multiple generations of competitors. Kevin Welton ' competed in the All-City Meet. during the late 1960s and early '70s, while Kevin and Cathy's children, 'Nick, 17, Erich, 15 and Stephanie, 10, are mem- , bers of the Middleton Gators team and will swim hi the meet. ' "For the people involved, the meet is a huge event," said Cathy Welton. "If you're not in the swim- ming community you may have heard of it, but you don't real- ize how big it has become until you're here and see it." On Thursday, Middleton Pool will become a swarming metropolis of swimmers, par- ents, spectators and volunteers. "Everything will be trans- formed," said Cathy Welton. "We're building a pier across the pool where the coaches will sit on the one side and there will be tents everywhere for dif- ferent things going on. Each team has a big tent." Neish hasn't felt too over- whelmed with the preparations, and indicated that year after year, meet directors pass on a booklet filled with organiza- tional tips. "Based on the experience of the previous years, it's almost turned into a science, I think, in terms of getting kids to the right place at the right tune," said Neish.

The season concludes with the teams coming together for the final meet. Nick Welton, who will be a senior at Middleton High School, has been competing in All-City meets for nine years. He admitted he tries to £ake a more relaxed approach/to his competition during the summer months. . "All the dual meets are really just kind of fun," said Nick Wel- ton, who also competes on the swim team at Middleton High School. "It's not like it's a life or death situation. Definitely, hi All-City, it's more laid back. We're just trying to have fun, but we've still got' a friendly competition going. "Everybody always has a blast Cat the All-City Meet). We always try to find something to keep ourselves occupied when we're not swimming." The team spirit and camara- derie are evident through ttye duration of the event. j "It's loud and there is a 16t of excitement, especially the last day," said Cathy Welton. "There is a lot of cheering. The teams get together, they wear the same stuff and have T- shirts made special and dress goofy." There are over 30 commit- tees formed from within the Middleton Gators club. Accord- ing to Cathy Welton, finding enough volunteers to fill work slots has been the toughest task. "The volunteers all come from only our club and there are 400 slots that have to be filled," said Welton. "Not neces- sarily people, but 400 slots of work. "It's gotten better now, but that's probably the hardest thing is getting everybody to volunteer and do their share."

"I think we gained a whole lot of experience in the bull- pen," Phillies manager Larry Bowa said. "They've been on winners. They know what it takes to win. They've pitched in pressure situations." The Mets and Phillies made their second deal in a week. Earlier, Philadelphia sent Gary Bennett to the Mets for Todd Pratt in a swap of backup catchers.

Carter close to signingVince Carter is staying with the Toronto

Raptors, his agent strongly hinted Tuesdaynight.

"There is a press conference (today),"Carter's agent, Merle Scott said. "You canread into that."

The NBA star is close to signing a six-yearcontract extension that would keep him withthe team through 2008. He would receivethe maximum salary allowable under thecollective bargaining agreement — morethan $85 million over the length of the deal.

Today is the •first day NBA teams canoffer players extensions that would effect forthe 2002-03 season.

The Raptors recently locked up three keyfree agents, re-signing Antonio Davis,Jerome Williams and Alvin Williams tolong-tenn contracts.

Carter has been Toronto's most prolificplayer in its six-year history, averaging 24.6points a game in his first three seasons withthe club.

"It's obvious that Vince is certainly aplayer that qualifies for whatever themaximum allows. I don't know if there is anyissue on what the contract will be," Torontogeneral manager Glen Grunwald said."We've been talking about Vince about hisdesire to make sure that he's happy here.We want him to be a Raptor for life."

Under the NBA's collective bargainingagreement, Carter would become arestricted free agent next summer if hedoesn't sign an extension by Oct. 31.

Mickelson stages rallyPhil Mickelson let a $180,000 skin slip

away on the 17th hole Tuesday beforerallying to capture $220,000 on the finalhole of the Par 3 Shootout golf tournamentin Gaylord, Mich.

That pushed Mickelson's two-daywinnings to $330,000 at Treetops Resort,second behind Lee Trevino, who earned$1,120,000.

Trevino all but clinched the title Mondaywhen he sank a $ 1 million hole-in-one.

Mickelson played well down the stretchwith birdies on four of the last five holes. Hisfirst birdie was an 11-foot putt on No. 14that kept Paul Azinger from winning$140,000. Azinger returned the favor bymatching Mickelson's birdie on the nexthole.

Mickelson finally broke through on No.16 when he sank a 13-foot birdie putt worth$180,000. But to pocket the cash, playersmust "validate" a skin by winning or tyingthe next hole, something Mickelson wasunable to do.

Mickelson's tee shot on No. 17 was hisworst of the day, sailing over the green andinto the heavy brush, leaving him with nochance for par. So the $180,000 skin, alongwith an additional $40,000 for the final twoholes, carried over to the 18th.

Mickelson regrouped and dropped his teeshot on No. 18 within 16 feet on the139-yard uphill hole. After Azinger andTrevino missed birdie tries, Mickelsonburied his putt to win.

Raymond Floyd, the defendingchampion, finished fourth with $30,00.

Cheliosvows betterbehavior

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) —Chris Chelios promises that theU.S. men's hockey team will beon its best behavior at nextyear's Winter Olympics.

U.S. players at the 1998 Nag-ano Games trashed three dormrooms at the Olympic Villagehours after the team was elimi-nated by the Czech Republic.

OLYMPICS"What was done in Nagano

was unfortunate for everybody,but that is over," said Chelios,the captain of that'U.S. team. UIguarantee something like thatwill not happen again."

No U.S. player admittedwrongdoing. Chelios, a defense-man for Detroit, presented a$3,000 check to Japanese offi-cials to pay for the damage.

To help the Americans reachthe medal round in February, asthey failed to do in Japan, theformer University of Wisconsinskater wants the NHL players'union to lighten rules for Olym-pic training camps by the U.S.and Canadian teams.

Under an agreement madebefore the 1999 world champi-onships, teams are limited to 48hours of practice and coachesaren't allowed on the ice if play-ers not named to the Olympicteam are present.

Chelios said eight to 10 play-ers recently had a conferencecall with NHLPA executive direc-tor Bob Goodenow, telling himthey wanted as much prepara-tion time as possible.

"We are willing to give upfour days because the Olympicsare in North America and itpresents such a great opportu-nity for us," Chelios said.

The Astros got Astacio andcash from the Rockies forpitcher Scott Elarton and aplayer to be named, and ob-tained Williams from the Pi-rates for pitcher TonyMcKnight.

Astacio was 6-13 with a 5.49ERA and won just once in hislast 10 starts. Elarton alsostruggled, going 4-8 with a7.14 ERA.

"Astacio is a guy that obvi-ously is not having a greatyear," Astros general managerGerry Hunsicker said. "Buttake him away from Coors

Packers may sign vetif Bidwell has trouble

SCORECARD

Last In a series

By Pete DoughertyPACKERS PREVIEW

Special to The Capital Times

The Green Bay Packers willalways admire punter Josh Bid-well for the courage and-opti-mism with which he facedtesticular cancer, and the hardwork he's put into footballsince recovering.

But there's little room forsentimentality in the NFL, sohis career in Green Bay willcome down to only one thing:How he punts over the next sixweeks.

Bidwell missed the 1999season because of surgery andchemotherapy to treat his can-cer. He punted, for the Packersall last season as much on thepromise of his youth andstrong leg as his actual per-formance.

The Packers are looking forthe dividends this season andsaw promising signs in theirJune minicamp. Over thecourse of the IVa weeks ofpractice, Bidwell punted theball better than he has duringany similar stretch since com-ing to Green Bay as a fourth-round draft pick in April 1999.

The Packers still are con-cerned enough that they'releaning toward bringing a vet-eran punter into training campif Bidwell doesn't make thenecessary strides. But they'veopened camp with Bidwell andGreen Bay Preble High Schoolgraduate Kevin Stemke, arookie from the University ofWisconsin, as the only punterson the roster.

"We'll see how (Bidwell)does (early hi camp)," FrankNovak, the Packers' specialteams coach, said about bring-ing in another veteran. "But I'dsay right now, the talk we'vehad with (coach) Mike (Sher-man) is we'll possibly do thatas this preseason goes on. Itmay not be right away. We maywait a while and see how it

For all the work he's donethe past few years with theJUGS passing machine, Fergu-son probably could have madethe adjustments himself.

The rookie wide receiverhas made a regular habit of re-newing his acquaintance withthe catching drill over the firstfew days of training camp,sticking around for an extra 15minutes after Monday's morn-ing practice to catch ball afterball.

Then, he showed up 15 min-utes before the afternoon ses-sion to resume his workout.

"I'm just trying to catch upwith the older guys," Fergusonexplained. "It's not like whereI've got freshman, sophomore,senior season coming In. I'mexpected to help the team rightnow."

Indeed. The Packers tradedup in the second round to se-lect Ferguson with the ideathat he could provide immedi-ate help to a receiving corpswhich has underperformed thepast two years.

goes. But eventually, we'retalking about bringing some-body in there to compete,against him."

Bidwell has a major-leagueleg, but his 38.6-yard gross av-erage per punt ranked 29th inthe 31-team NFL last season,and his net average of 34.6yards ranked 19th. That sug-gests he wasn't consistentlypunting the ball far or consis-tently hitting it high in whatwas in effect his rookie season.

"Our concern now is, can hetake his practice performance(from June) into this extendedperiod in preseason and per-form that way? I don't knowthat," Novak said. "Somethings he wasn't doing well ayear ago he did better in mini-

camp. I'm encouraged by that.I'm looking for any signs fromhim in terms of growth and im-provement, and we saw it."

Bidwell and the Packersprobably will never knowwhether his cancer and treat-ment took any strength or co-ordination out of himpermanently.

The Packers signed Stemkeshortly after the draft, but aftertwo minicamps it's clear he'snot likely to make the roster.

Novak said Stemke has astrong leg but must becomemore precise at dropping theball so he doesn't have tochase it with his foot and thuslose distance and accuracy.Punters and kickers often needone or two years after collegebefore they're NFL caliber.

The Packers are set atplace-kicker after signing RyanLongwell to a five-year con-tract that included a $2 millionsigning bonus. He is accurate(33 for 38 on field goals lastyear) and dependable in Wis-consin's blustery late-seasonweather.

Despite Longwell's talk ofimproved distance on kickoffs,he'll have to show a signifi-cantly stronger leg for Novakto change from predominantlydirectional kickoffs.

Green Bay quarterback Brett Favre chats with coach MikeSherman Tuesday during training camp.

Texas A&M following twoyears at Tyler (Texas) Commu-nity College •— he is still rela-tively raw.

For that reason, the extrawork caught Sherman's eye.

"That's why we draftedhim," said Sherman, who reliedheavily on his former boss atA&M, coach R.C. Slocum,while evaluating Ferguson. "Iknew in our research that hehad a high work ethic, and wewant that with our receivers —particularly in our offense.That's why we took him. It'snot a surprise.

"He did miss a fair amountof minicamp practices — he'sjust trying to get caught- up.But I think he'll continue to dothat even after he gets caughtup. That's the type of guy heis."

The 6-foot-1, 209-poundFerguson no longer is ham-pered by the back pain thatsidelined him during the Juneminicamp, and his athletic abil-ity has been evident during thestart of camp. So much so thathe is expected to be fightingBill Schroeder and Corey Brad-ford for a spot in the startinglineup alongside top dog Anto-nio Freeman.

But he isn't satisfied, so theball machine figures to be aregular companion in camp.

"I think it just came fromthe way I was raised. Nothingever came easy," said Fergu-

son, whose family's moneyproblems factored heavily intohis decision to turn pro. "I justapproached the game of foot-ball like that, too. It's notgoing to come easy. I have towork at it."

Depleted defense: Ahandful of projected defensivestarters sat out practice Tues-day due to injury, a nuisancewhich could become more ofan issue if it becomes a trend.

Joining the renowned rail-birds as practice observerswere defensive tackles RussellMaryland (lower back sore-ness) and Santana Dotson(quadriceps), cornerbacks Ty-rone Williams (groin) and MikeMcKenzie (knee inflammation)as well as linebacker NateWayne (concussion).

Sherman is especially con-cerned about McKenzie, whostruggled through an injury-plagued 2000 season andmissed time in minicamps aswell. The silver lining is thatTod McBride has taken morereps and proven to be a sensa-tional cover man to date.
