No. 60 Darrell Campbell: Only a sophomore, Campbell is currently penciled in as a starting defensive end along with Irons. Not bad for someone who has yet to play a second of college football. His combination of size (66-foot-4, 270 pounds) and speed give the Irish a pair of talented pass rushers. Only No. 20 Gerome Sapp: time will tell if he can produce on the field. When he signed with the Irish in 1999, Sapp was regarded as the top free safety prospect in high school football. But instead of making an immediate impact, Sapp learned the college game from seniors Deke Cooper and No. 3 Arnaz Battle: A’Jani Sanders.

The Notre Dame football team starts its road towards

the 2000 football season Saturday with the 71st annual

Blue-Gold game. The Irish have been practicing

throughout April to prepare for the outing. Justin Smith (29) and Tony Driver (25) pause for a breather during one of their spring workouts.

Tony Fisher (12) holds onto the ball whether in the air or on the ground. The tailback will enter his junior season of eligibility this fall. S cene Friday.

W omen ’s Lacrosse Irish face No. 19 Rutgers for first time in final game

By SARAH RYKOWSKI Spores W riter

Notre Dame’s women lacrosse team faces its final opponent, 19th-ranked Rutgers, on Saturday at Yurcak Field in Piscataway, N.J. The Scarlet Knights come off a 9-3 loss to 16th-ranked Yale on Wednesday in the Yale Bowl. The Irish also fell to the Bulldogs on April 15, 17-3. Notre Dame has never faced Rutgers. The Irish are 5- 9 on the season and the Knights are 6-8. “If we play the same way we played I against Columbia and Harvard |, Rutgers will be a good game,” said head coach Tracy Coyne.

B ookstore B asketball XXIX Coco Butter overcomes obstacles to advance in play

By KATHLEEN O’BRIEN Associate Sports Editor

Coco Butter survived the absence of key player Marshaun West, the scramble for a fifth player after Lee Lafayette was declared ineligible, a slew of missed free throws and the tough play of Double Down to win 30-28 in a game that lasted nearly two hours. With West gone due to a track and field competition at the Drake Relays, Coco Butter sub­ stituted Lafayette. Just before game time, however, he was ruled ineligible since he is no longer a student at the University. Red Croker, Tony Fisher, Doug Conners and John Owens picked up football player Justin Thomas for their squad, and his addition was good enough for the victory. No. 4 Coco Butter took an 11-9 halftime lead over the 13th- ranked Double Down squad of Coley Brady, Dan McGown, Larry Zimont, Steve.Allred and Matt Ott. In the second period, Coco Butter pulled ahead by as many as four at 17-13. But Double Down was good as gold from the free throw line as it hit two free throws, followed by a basket by McGowan to close to within one at 17-16. “They talked a lot of trash before the game,” McGowan said. “I think they overlooked us. We play these guys all the time at the rec center.” Neither team could get ahead by more than one after the score reached 18, and the game became a battle of the fatigued. j o h n DAiLY/The o b serv er ------Coco Butter’s John Owens moves blindly past a defender in a recent game.
