French create new political party

PARIS An influential French politician inaugurat­ ed his new conservative party Sunday, stop­ ping up competition in the French right. Charles Pasqua’s movement, called the Rally for France, already had many supporters and had beat out the mainstream conservative party of President Jacques Chirac in June dur­ ing European parliamentary elections. But until this weekend, the party had no charter and no official leadership. On Sunday, party members met outside Paris and chose Pasqua as president and voted for a charter that looks unfavorably on European union. Pasqua, a former interior minister, helped found Chirac’s Rally for the Republic party in 1976, but he eventually grew uncomfortable with the party's evolution.

By KERRY S M IT H Assistant Sports Editor

Last year, Notre Dame made a key defensive stand in the final seconds of the fourth quarter to hold Boston College at bay for the 31-26 Irish win, but Saturday, it was the Eagles’ turn to make a stand of their own. The .Irish came close, but it couldn’t put enough points on the board in the fourth quarter for the win. Notre Dame raced against the clock, failing to come from behind and losing 31-29 at Notre Dame Stadium. Eagle quarterback Tim Hasselbeck threw for three touchdowns and rushed for a fourth, helping the Eagles to their eighth win and snapping a four-year losing streak to the Irish. “I give Boston College credit. 1 thought their quarterback played really well, ” said Irish head coach Bob Davie. “ He can run. lie gave us some different looks and he made a few plays throwing the football. ” W ith the loss, the Irish fell to 5-6 on the season, erasing any chance for a bowl game appear­ ance and leaving the program struggling to end the season at the .500 mark. The Irish secondary struggled to contain Hasselbeck, who threw for 272 yards and rushed for another 60, in one of his best performances of the season. “It’s hard to win when you give up 442 y a rd s and 31 points,” said Davie. “We’re struggling a little bit on defense. I think the secondary is playing OK, but overall on defense, we’re struggling.” Quarterback Jarious Jackson led an explosive Irish squad to two touchdowns in the opening eight minutes of the first quar­ ter, giving the Irish a quick 14- point advantage.

Following Saturday’s 31-29 loss to Boston College, senior defensive end Lament Bryant pounded his helmet against the ground in frustration like a warrior who just lost his final battle. He should have been able to raise his helmet to the student section with pride after his final home victory. Senior split end Bobby Brown emerged from the locker room dazed, while struggling to hold back tears as he spoke to the media about the loss. Those should have been tears of joy after walking through the tunnel and celebrating victory with his teammates for the final time in the Notre Dame locker room. Unlike Brown, senior safety A’Jani Sanders walked right past the media, murmuring, “Come on, you guys." lie should have been able to stop and talk with the reporters about how it felt to win his final game in Notre Dame Stadium . A lot of things should have been dif­ ferent Saturday. A lot of things should have been different this season. “I wish I could tell you what went wrong this season, but I couldn’t explain it,” senior cornerback Deveron Harper said. “My thoughts aren’t clear right now. You just work hard and trust everything will get better, and when it doesn’t ... Well, this is not the way I wanted to go out."

W o m e n ’s S o ccer Sarkesian’s score sends Irish to quarterfinals

♦ Sophomore scores sole goal in 81st minute, Cardinal penalty kick falls short

By M IKE CONNOLLY Associate Sports Editor

The celebration following Irish sophomore Mia Sarkesian’s game-winning goal changed into tense uncertainty about a minute later. Against the Stanford Cardinal in the NCAA tournament, Stanford’s Ronnie Fair was award­ ed a penalty kick, which could have knotted the score at 1. The senior midfielder lined up just a few yards from Irish senior goalkeeper LaKeyshia Beene. Fair shot a NCAA hard ball toward the lower right corner of the net. Beene Tournament dove fully extended to her Third Round right but the ball was just out Notre Dame 1 of her reach as it struck the right post and ricocheted Stanford 0 straight across the goal line toward the opposite post. The ball bounced off the left post and kicked out away from the Irish goal. Stanford coach Steve Swanson said Irish lore may have played a factor in the final shot. “Maybe it was the luck of the Irish,” he said. “Ronnie scored so many goals from free kicks, I don’t fault her at all. It was just one of those things that happened. It was maybe a millimeter o ff.” Beene was glad the bounces finally went Notre Dame’s way and the Irish found a bit of luck.
