RACING | LAKEPORT SPEEDWAY OLYMPICS | HOOPS US team hoping size doesn’t Races heat up stop drive for top prize By JIM LITKE Associated Press As Shaq so indelicately reminded Kobe the other night, a good big man is still better than a good small man. But for reasons that have little to do with restoring Bryant’s self- esteem and everything to do with restoring the United States’ reputation as the sport’s reigning Olympic superpower, the higher-ups in America’s basketball establishment are betting otherwise. The team USA Basketball manag- ing director Jerry Colangelo unveiled during a news conference Monday in Chicago was long on talent but notably short on big men — just three among the dozen players bound for Beijing and only one true center, Dwight Howard of the Orlando Magic. As loaded as the U.S. squad is, it still represents a calculated gamble in the international game, where the play is often more physical, the refs are less experienced and one fewer foul — five brings disqualification vs. six in the NBA — can make all the difference. And don’t even ask what coach Mike Krzyzewski is supposed to do if one of those three goes down with an injury. “When you have as many out- standing players as we have in this country,” Colangelo said, “to select a group of 12 is obviously going to leave out a number of outstanding people.” The final roster spot went to photos by Kristen Dover/Lakeport Speedway Pistons’ swingman Tayshaun Prince The Kulture Shock modified main event winner Gary Lowblad (88a) fights for the lead in a late-race, side-by-side duel with Richie over Hornets center Tyson Chandler, Potts (83).

B. Some correct numbers with their letters have been put into the "Order Grid" to get you started. Also, above the "Order Grid" is a "Decoded Message" clue. C. After you have solved the "Order Grid" doing as direction "A" says, put the let- ters from horizontal rows, from left to right, under "Decoded Message" and make words to form the answer.
