FRIDAY SEPT. 3, 2010

An end in sight?

ANNA BEYERLE News Editor

President Barack Obama called for an end to the combat in in a live press confer- ence from the Oval Office Tuesday, Aug. 31. Obama’s announcement came a little over a week after the last combat troops pulled out of Iraq on Thurs., Aug. 19, according to a Washington Post ar- ticle. About 50,000 non-combat brigades will remain in the country, mainly to train Iraqi soldiers. Both the U.S. and Iraqi governments have agreed these forces will close their operations and leave Iraq be- fore Dec. 31, 2011. “We’ve done the best job we could do,” said Broth- er Raymond Fitz, former University of Dayton pres- ident and professor in the political science depart- ment. “Now we have to depend on Iraq to follow through.”

Cameron Hobson and Cole Tyrell were both selected in the First-Year Player Draft in June, taking two dif- ferent paths to the eventual goal of playing in the major leagues. Hobson decided to return to school after being selected in the 37th round by the New York Yankees. The left-handed pitcher still has two more years of eligibility remaining. Tyrell, a 42nd round pick by the San Diego Padres, signed and started playing shortly after his senior year at UD. The utility infi elder is current- ly playing for the Eugene Emeralds of the short-season Northwest League, but has struggled adjusting to professional pitching so far. “It’s just a lot different, and it is a completely different game than The Flyer football team prepares for a run at an 11th Pioneer Football League title during a practice on Monday, Aug. 30, at Welcome Stadium.
