errors in five games, the
most ever in a League Cham
pionship Series.
And as if that wasn't bad
enough, Boston looked lost at
the plate whenever they
needed a hit most. Only when
Roger Clemens pitched did
Boston look keen at the plate,
with their heads down while
driving through the ball.
When Orlando "El Duque"
Hernandez and Andy Pettitte
were on the hill, the Sox
looked as lost as a defense
lawyer on an ethics council.
It was that bad.
So now that the Yanks
have once again sent Boston
home to eat beans, the Bronx
Bombers can get psyched for
yet another trip to the World
Series. And regardless of
which squad comes out of the
National League, the Yanks
will win four more games
this season. Even when
Clemens pitched like a high
school second-stringer in
front of his ex-hometown
crowd, the Yankees had an
air of invincibility.
In a press conference fol
lowing the ALCS, Yankees
manager Joe Torre said win
ning in the postseason this
year was much harder for
his team than it was last
year. He said he thought
opposing teams believed they
had no shot against New
York last year, but that has
changed now.
Think about that here'-
a manager saying it was
much harder to win this time

high standard ,- ;
Maybe it's the deep pock
ets of owner George Stein
brenner, the wizardry of
Torre or the masterful pitch-
lug staff, but something
about the Yankees seems
unbeatable.
It was foolish to pick
Boston, and I'll be the first to
admit that. But the same mis
take won't he made here

Against Ohio State, Linebacker U. was
proven to be more than three players deep.
Linebacker Ron Graham led the Lions in
tackles in their win against the Buckeyes.
And he did it coming off the bench.
Replacing the injuried Mac Morrison,
who suffered a concussion in the first half
and did not return because of precautionary
measures, Graham had two sacks and
recorded a career-high nine tackles.
Regular starters LaVar Arrington and
Brandon Short each contributed in holding
Buckeyes tailback Michael Wiley to just 18
yards rushing and further increased their
growing legacy.
"When I am 72 years old all my tackles
will be remebered as leaps across the line,
all my runs will be touchdowns," Arrington
said. "When I am 72, I'll be just an old man,
but I'll be a trash-talking old man."

OVERALL GRADE: A-
Cornerbacks David Macklin and Anthony
King, thought to be one of the better pairs of
corners in the country heading into this sea
son, have lived up to that lofty standard.
Against Ohio State, the two seniors locked
up Buckeyes wideouts Reggie Germany and
Ken-Yon Rambo like they were guilty of
accepting more than $4OO worth of mer
chandise for $21.40.
Bwawoh Jue has been excellent providing
extra pass coverage, often times playing
corner and allowing the coaching staff to
maneuver King all over the place.
OVERALL GRADE: A
Up-and-down doesn't begin to describe
this group's performance through the first
seven contests.
Placekicker Travis Forney nailed his first
seven field goal attempts and drilled 24 of
24 extra point tries.
But the junior chunked his first miss of
the season against lowa, then had two field
goals blocked against Ohio State a week ago.
Aside from the first block of his Penn
State career, punter Pat Pidgeon has been
as consistent as any Lions player.
The senior booter has dropped nine punts
inside the 20-yard line to go with his 41.8-
yard average, which ranks fifth in the Big
Ten.
Kenny Watson has had his moments on
kickoff returns, but lost his punt return
duties after a fumble flood.
Teammate Bruce Branch took over in his
place and promptly carted a boot 90 yards
against Indiana for a touchdown. He has
held the position since then.

Eagles' Douglas needs
surgery on torn biceps
By KEN BERGER
Associated Press Writer
PHILADELPHIA Philadel
phia Eagles defensive end Hugh
Douglas needs surgery on his
torn biceps and could be out for
the year.
Douglas, who led the team
with 12.5 sacks last season, will
have surgery today, agent Drew
Rosenhaus said.
The Eagles did not remove
Douglas from the 53-man roster
and would not give any details
about the operation Douglas
will undergo.
Coach Andy Reid said Mon
day that Douglas would be out
few the year if he needed
surgery.
Reid was not available yester
day, the team's day off.
"There's a strong chance he's
going to need surgery on that,"
Reid said at his weekly press
briefing. "If he does, he'll be out
for the year."
Douglas ruptured his left
biceps as he fought off a block
er while chasing Bears running
back Curtis Enis in the Eagles'
20-16 victory over Chicago on
Sunday.
Rosenhaus held out hope that
Douglas could return this sea
son, but the Eagles (2-4) would
have to keep him on the active
roster.
New England linebacker Ted
Johnson had the same injury in
this year's preseason and was
not placed on the injured
reserve list. Instead, the Patri-
ThLL
"If that was up to
Hugh, I'm certain he
would want to
come back and
contribute."
ots said he'd be out four
months
"If that was up to Hugh, I'm
certain he would want to come
back and contribute," Rosen
haus said. "We do know he's a
fast healer."
Douglas just came back from
a partially torn knee ligament in
two weeks after doctors expect
ed him to miss six weeks.
Losing him again is a huge
blow to the Eagles' defense,
which leads the NFL with 17
forced turnovers.
"It's very frustrating,
because I only got to play about
two games and then this hap
pens," defensive er .1 Douglas
said, who does not v,Lr.c play
at less than full strength. "I'm
not the biggest defensive line
man to begin with. To play at
half my strength, that wouldn't
be good."
The Eagles are prepared to
go with a rotation including
Mike Mamula, Brandon Whiting
and Ike Reese to replace Dou
glas.
