be able to free up a player like

There are a number of possible
directions the defensive coaches
could go with regards to reinforcing
the line.
First, two linemen, senior Josh
Gaines and freshman Jack Craw
ford, can play either tackle or erld.
Both are natural ends but have
enough size to battle inside. Their
versatility should allow Bradley to
keep his guys fresh.
Gaines said he's comfortable
playing both positions and wel
comes the challenge of playing
more snaps and serving as the
line's pillar.
"[Defensive line] coach [Larry]
Johnson's been on me, saying,
`We're going to have to rely on you.'
I'm ready for the challenge," Gaines
said of his ever-increasing role. "It's
tiring, but I feel good."
A second option is to start playing
the freshmen. Four of the first-year
guys Crawford, Kevion Latham,
Eric Latimore and Chima Okoli
saw time during the waning
moments of the first two blowouts.
But there's a big difference
between playing with a 31-point lead
with five minutes to play and trying
to stop Ohio State All-American run
ning back Chris Wells at the goal
line with the game on the line.
Another potential solution would
be switching players' positions.
Hayes began his Penn State career,
and is still listed on the roster, as a
linebacker. He bulked up to 246 lbs.
in order to fight with linemen.
For a linebacker to make the
move he'd have to be fairly big

played in mop-up duty with most of
the reserves. But any chance at this
being a two-quarterback system
was probably shot after Daryll
Clark's balanced performance.
Meaningful time for Devlin will now
probably come under two circum
stances: an injury to Clark or Clark
faltering. And if Anthony Morelli
didn't falter enough last season to
be benched, well, Devlin's best
chance at playing in the next two
years could be somewhere else.

players usually lose weight during

he starred at State College Area

With so much in doubt regarding

linemen all said they knew one
thing for certain they've got to
step up even more.

like the captain and improve upon

And tackle Jared Odrick said
everyone else needs to stay togeth
er and, more importantly, stay on
the field. He said losing Hayes will
serve as motivation because the
line wants to perform well for its
brother and prove it is still a
strength of the defense.
"It's very unfortunate it had to
happen to him, but as a D-line I
think we'll pull through," Odrick
said. "We've got guys able to stay
strong and keep going.
"It's another shot at our armor
and we've got to pick up the slack
for our fallen soldiers."
Rodgers, who finished with 99 yards
on 22 carries, more opportunities
early? Maybe that 28-0 hole could
have been a bit more manageable if
one of Oregon State's top threats
wasn't ignored for more than a
quarter.

behavior. you could discover that you arc
in trouble. If you arc single, you have a

right person could take time, patience
and talent. If you arc attached, you add
the quality of romance once more into
your relationship. Some will add to their
family: others will just go out on okl
fashioned dates! CAPRICORN evokes
your imagination. Together you find

Beaumont
From Page 8
Beaumont knoWs she would have ben
efited from having the same type of pres
ence guiding her through her freshman
year at a college three hours from home.
Jen Beaumont's mother, Liene Beau
mont, describes her daughter's first
years of college as "the hardest thing
she's ever done in her life."
The family phone bill was extremely
high, inspirational cards were mailed,
and many tears were shed as the Beau
mont family attempted to get Jen
through her first year of college.
"I told her to be strong and really
believe in her heart it was the right
thing," Liene said. "The strength from
within and the strength of her family. If
[staying on the team] was that important
to her, then she would find the strength
of God to guide her through it."
Jen befriended fellow goalie Jenny
Beam, who was a senior at the time but
also not playing. With this commonality,
Beaumont had found a comfort zone.
"It was a tough time for the both of
us," Beaumont said. "She took me to din
ner and a couple of other simple things.
"I always really feared the upperclass
men. So as I grew up, I didn't want to
outcast the underclassmen and wanted
them to have my respect"
So Beaumont has now opened herself
up to the freshmen. Last week she took a
group of freshmen out for ice cream off
campus because she feels it's necessary
for the girls to be acclimated in their
early days on campus.
Freshman Casey McCartin described
how she has called Beaumont while lost
en route to class and Beaumont instruct
ed her where the building was.
"She's helped out all of our transi
tions," McCartin said. "She's definitely
very competitive on the field. But she's
great off the field, very down to earth."
"I feel like I've been through so much
on and off the field that I can relate to the
girls," Beaumont said. "I'm there for
them if they need me."
The senior said she tells her mother
all the time, "I know what it's like to be a
freshman."
And if you find Liene sitting in the
bleachers of a field hockey game, which
is likely because her and her husband
travel from Chalfont, Pa., to every regu
lar season game, she will be beaming
with pride in what her daughter has
gone through.
"[My husband and I] live our lives
through her and her career because
we're so proud of what she has accom
plished," the elder Beaumont said.
"Words can't even describe it."
someone could gre'atly change because
of an important conversation. Be aware
'of how much you offer. Think positively.
Tonight: Hang out if possible.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
*** Your abilities to make a difference
and possibly go in a new direction ear
mark your decisions. Finances, as you
understand. make the world go around,
especially right now. Tonight: Be realis
tic.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
***** Understanding that you are
unstoppable could be more important
than you realize. Listen to what is shared,
and be honest about the impact you want
to have, as well as what might be appro
priate. Tonight: All smiles.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
*** You might want to try something
different or approach a situation differ
ently. You could be taken aback by
another's insistence to have his or her
way. Be careful, as you could rupture this
situation permanently. Tonight: Take
some much-needed personal time.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
***** Friends surround you, open
ing doors and making the impossible
possible. What will happen is, if you hes
itate, you could hit a problem out of the
blue. You are best off working with
friends. Schedule meetings. Tonight:
Where the action is.
