W o rld N e w s B r ie f s E a s t T im o r Armed group kidnaps 12 in Ecuador QUITO An armed band has kidnapped an American and seven Canadians who were working on an oil project in Ecuador’s eastern jungle near the Colombian border, Ecuador’s military said Sunday. They also kidnapped four European tourists visiting Ecuador’s Cuyabeno ecological reserve. The oil workers were installing a pipeline in the province of Sucumbios, 30 miles from the Colombian border, and were being guarded by four Ecuadorean soldiers when they were ambushed on Saturday by about 25 armed assailants, regional commander Col. Luis Ramirez told The Associated Press. He said one Ecuadorean soldier was killed during the attack, which ended with the armed group taking the American and Canadians hostage. Ramirez said the hostages were employees of a Canadian con­ tracting company, United Pipelines Systems.

By BRIAN KESSLER Sports Editor

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. IT you don’t learn I'roni the past, you’re doomed to repeat it. Notre Dame (1-2) learned that the hard way in Saturday's 28-23 loss to Purdue (2-0). as it watched the clock run out for the second-straight week. “It’s disappointing because, once again, we beat ourselves," tailback Tony Fisher said. “We’re right there ready to put the ball in and we didn’t capitalize on it." Trailing late in the game, the Irish pinned the Boilermakers deep and fresh­ man Julius Jones returned a punt to the Purdue 41. Six plays later, the Irish were knocking on the door, faced with first- and-goal from the 9-yard line with one minute to play. After a reception and a rush, senior fullback Joey Goodspeed took the Irish to the 1 -yard line with 16 seconds to go. Following a timeout, the Irish set up in the wishbone and planned to run an iso­ lation play to Fisher. The backfield, however, heard an audible to the option, and Jarious Jackson was tackled for a nine-yard loss. As Notre Dame frantically set up for a final play, the clock ran out, and Boilermaker fans poured onto the field. “It’s just miscommunication,’” Fisher said. "We thought Jarious called one play, and it was related to us as another play. Unfortunately, we didn’t get the right play in the backfield. ” Communication was not a problem for Purdue head coach Joe Tiller. “I figured the last play of the game we were going to roll the dice, and I said let’s blitz them," said filler, whose team has now won eight straight. “We’re going to take a shot. We’re going to give our players a chance to make a play." Head coach Bob Davie’s team never had a chance. "I thought we did a tremendous job coming down at the end and giving our­ selves a chance with two plays left, where they wouldn't have any time to get the ball back," Davie said. “I take responsibility that we didn’t have the backs going the right way." Everything went Notre Dame’s way early on. The Boilermakers turned over the ball over twice on its first three plays from scrimmage, and the Irish quickly capitalized. Jim Sanson connected on a 20-yard field goal, and Jackson scored on a 15-yard run to give the Irish a 10-0 lead midway through the first quarter. Purdue answered with a 74-yard drive capped off by a Drew Brees touchdown run, but another Jackson score pushed the Irish lead to 16-7. Late in the second quarter, Brees com­ pleted a 30-yard touchdown pass to Randall Lane to cut the Irish lead to lb-

quarterbacks: Jackson continued to struggle with his pitches but he did throw the ball well. His rushing, however, was held in check as he gained only one yard.

running backs: Fisher and Driver each averaged more than4 yards-per- carry, but Driver dropped a critical pass and Fisher fumbled once.

receivers: Nelson has another solid performance, while Brown recov.- ered from his mistakes in Michigan to catch four balls and a touchdown.

offensive line: Jackson was sacked twice but he usually had enough time to see his receivers. Penalties were committed at bad times.

defensive line: The pass rush was spo­ radic and they failed to sack Brees. The line did a good job getting their hands up and tipping passes.

linebackers: Denman, Boiman and Harrison continued the1 9 9 9 Irish linebacker tradition of having quiet games but not hurting the team.

defensive backs: You can’t stop Brees, you can only hope to contain him. Brees passed for3 1 7 yards but he never had a big play.

miscommunication in the backfield led to a 9-yard loss and a Boilermakers victory. It was

only Notre Dame’s second loss in the past 14 meetings between the two teams. Purdue,

ST. PAUL, MINN. Kurt Vonnegut will visit; he will talk. Just don’t ask him to read aloud. “I’ve never done a reading. It’s the lowest art form imaginable," Vonnegut said. When he comes to St. Paul next weekend, Vonnegut will be acknowledging his new short-story collection, “Bagombo Snuff Box" — gathered with the help of a local professor — but he’s got too much on his mind to merely recite old prose. “I’ll talk about stuff that bothers me, like the way people are being cheated out of the experience of ‘becoming.’ It’s the computer which becomes now. People think, ‘Oh, boy, wait until I get this new pro­ gram.’ Bill Gates will give you a program to write a perfect Shakespearean sonnet. For God’s sake, that’s not becoming," Vonnegut said. “People should practice an art in order to make their souls grow and not to make money or become famous. Paint a picture. Write." Vonnegut will share his thoughts Saturday at Central Presbyterian Church in St. Paul.

‘Frasier’ dog acts as true professional

NEW YORK Moose, the dog who plays Eddie on “Frasier" couldn’t get into act­ ing until he learned some professionalism. “I adopted Moose in ’93 when he was 3 years old," owner-trainer Mathilde de Cagny says in Sunday’s New York Post. “And he’d already had a couple of owners before me who gave him away, because he was misbehaving: chewing, barking, digging, running away." But Cagny saw potential in the Jack Russell terrier now beloved by TV fans for constantly upstaging the neurotic Frasier. The veteran trainer knows canine acting talent when she sees it. Cagny also owns Jill, the scene-stealing Brussels Griffon in “As Good As It Gets,” and Clovis, the golden retriever who played Shadow in the film, “Homeward Bound." And for Moose, there’s only one real director. “We’re like an old married couple," Cagny said. “I’m 10 feet away from him at all times, and there’s a lot of silent communication MARY CALASH/The Observer between us, with hand signals and eye contact that only tbe live (stu­ Though it is well-known that smoking is a bad habit, many people enjoy it daily. dio) audience can see." page 14 The Observer ♦ SPORTS Monday, September 13, 1999
