BY BETH SERGENT BSERGENT@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM POINT PLEASANT Near midnight on Halloween, a day known in folklore as the day of the dead, the Vietnam Moving Wall rested along the Ohio River, reflecting back the nalnes of soldiers who lost their lives serving their country. On that Halloween night, members of the Middleport American Legion stood watch over the monument and its 58,228 names that line the 252.4-foot wall. So many names that up close blur the. eye, like looking down upon a city at night and seeing the lights of houses and streets interconnecting with one another, reminding Page AS us that we are all connected as human beings. • Maxine Elizabeth Russell "It's heartbreaking," said Roger Stobart about the monument 's ability to represent · lives overlapping and interconnecting onto the next panel of the wall.

The second shift of Middleport Legion members stood watch from 3 a.m. to 7 a.m. Since the wall is open for visitors 24 hours a day, it requires constant guard to protect It against vandalism and to assist visitors in finding names of friends and loved ones on the memorial. "I feel like its an honor to guard the wall and overlook. the fellows," said Stobart who reflected the sentiment of the other members of the Middleport American Legion .

The game is called corn hol e. or corn toss. because players try to throw cloth bags filled with corn into a hole. It is an Ohi o phenomenon th at is catching on el sewhere around the Midwest and he yond. : "It 's ea'y to play. you don't .have to dig a pit. drive stakes or tear up your lawn," 'aid Mike Whitton. founder and presi dent of the Ameri can Cornhole Association. : You don· t have to work up a :sweat, either. About the worst thing that could happen is you could spill your beer. (Although it is not a drinking game by definition , alcoholic ;beverages often are consumed. ·The Christian Moerlein ·Brew ing Co. sponsors tournaments, and the ga me is played at some·Ohio bar,.) Beanbag games in various forms have been around for 'generations. Local players say the corn bag game originated in Cincinnati although many lay claim to it. Portable goals have let the backyard game travel to tailgate parties, bars and college campuses, and an industry has sprung up supplying boards, bags, clothing and o!jler paraphernalia. The idea is to throw a bag filled with corn into a 6-inch hole in a wooden ramp 30 feet away. A bag in the hole scores three points, a bag left on the platform scores one. As simple as that so unds, it was a scoring dispute at a family pi cnic that led to the formation of the American Cornhole Association , which claims to be the arbiter of the game, sanctioning tournaments, sell ing equipment and publishing the "official" rules of play. Whitton said the association has more than 3,500 members, and his business has been shipping equipment to such places as North Carolina, Florida, Nebraska and Oklahoma.

Many of the players at Tommy's are twentysomethings who work at Procter & Gamble Co. or Sara Lee, are new in town and are looking to meet people, said Donmi'Frey. a bartender at Tommy 's. The ga me is so popular around Cincinnati that nearly 400 teams competed for the 52.000 first prize in the Corn hole Classic in February. and organizers are planning a Holiday Cornhole Classic for Thanksgivi ng weekend. The game has al so taken root at the University of Kentucky. "You can ' t go up and down the street without seeing boards and bags," said Del Proctor of Lexington , Ky., presidentofthe Sigma Phi Epsilon chapter. "I have some family in Cincinnati, and they'Ve been · playing a couple of years. It seem' to have migrated down here through the students."

Giowing up in the suburbs of Chicago, she was so lidly grounded m the middle-class Repub lica n values of her father and the sociall y aware val ue, of her mother.

While at Yale pursuing a <.Iegree in law pertaining to children she met and fell in love with Bill Clinton. and it might be said. "The rest is history." The reviewer chose to close her review of the book with examples of unusual situations Mrs . Clinton encountered on those many trips she made during her years in the White House . One of those occurred in Ru ssia when Chelsea was in advertently left behind as the presidential party left for the airport. Chelsea and two companions convinced , a delivery truck driver to take them to the airport. where she made a mad dash past security guards to her parents' party. They had not yet mis sed her. In Pakist·an. the First Lady and Chelsea were greeted by Peace Corps Volunteers wearing teeshirts listing all the di seases they had contracted. But it was in India that she had one of her most meaningful and lasting encounters. A teacher gave her a poem called ''Silence.'' written by a female secondary school student. The poem expressed the plight of women through the ages and in many parts of the world today. Mrs .. Clinton used the poem as the theme of her address to the World Conference on Human Right s held in China in which she proclaimed her declaration of women 's rights as human rights . Ord said the book left the reader with perhaps more detail than one woule want, but gives a very human and humane side of Hillary Rodham Clinton ihat has rarely been seen before in print.

There are 59 days left in the year. This is Election Day. Today"s Highligh t in History: On Nov. 2. 1948, President Truman surprised the experts by being re-elected in a narrow upset over Republican challenger Thomas E. Dewey. On this date: In 1783. Gen. George Washington iss ued his "Farewell Address to the Army" nem Princeton, N.J . In 1795, the II th president of the United States, James Knox Polk, was born in Mecklenburg County, N.C. In 1865, the 29th president of the United States. Warren Gamaliel Harding, was born near Corsica, Ohio. In 1889. North Dakota and South Dakota became the 39th and 40th states. In 1930. Haile Sclassie was crowned emperor of Ethiopia. In 1947, Howard Hughes piloted his hu ge wooden airplane, known as the "Spruce Goose." on its only flight, which las ted about a minute over Long Beach Harbor in California. · In 1959, game show contestant Charl es Van Doren admitted tCJ a House subcommittee that he'd been given questions and unswers in advance when he appeared on the NBC TV pro)! ram "Twenty-One." In 1976. former Georgia Gov. Jimmy Carter became the fi rst candidate fro m the Deep South since the Civil War to be elected president as he defeated incumbent Gerald R. Ford. In 1979, blac k militant Joanne Chesimard escaped from a New Jersey pri son, where she'd been serving a life sentence fo r the 1973 slay ing of a New Jersey state trooper. (Chesimard, who has since taken the name Assata Shakur. now li ves in Cuba.) In 1984, Velma Barfield, convicted of the poisoning death of her boyfriend, was put to death by injection in Ral eigh, N.C., becoming the first woman exec uted in the United States ' ince 1.962. Ten years ago: In Durunka. Egypt. more than 475 people were killed when fuel carried by fl 9odwaters ignited. A jury in Pensacola. Fla.. convicted Paul Hill of murder for the shotgun ' layings of an abortion provider and hi s bodyguard; Hill was executed in September 2003. . Five years ago: Xerox repairman Byran Uyesugi opened tire on hi s co-workers in Honolulu. killing seven of them. (Uyesugi was later convicted and sentenced to life in prison . without parole.) Republicans pushed the year's last and biggest spendin g bill through Congress toward a sure veto by President Clinton. One year ago: In Iraq, insurgents shot down a Chinook helicopter carrying dozens of U.S. soldiers, killing 16. In Durham, N.H .. Y. Gene Robinson was consecrated as the first openly gay bish0p in the Episcopal Church. Kenyans ruled the New York.City Mmathon, with Margaret Okayo shattering ~he women's course record and Martin Lei earning his first .marathon victory.

' 100. 10 .'200.20 Tuesday, November 2, Morton Kondarcke the election·.· But the situation was close enough ~ requi rin g a shift of j ust 60,000 votes in certain states - that the House approved a constitutional amendment calling for direct election. Nixon even endorsed it. But it was fi libustered to death in the Senate. If President Bush or John Kerry wins the popular vote but loses the pres idency this year, it's almost certain that Congress would revisit the Electora l College. While thi s would be onl y the fifth instance of a mi xed result in U.S. history, two "misfires" in a row would make consideration of reform inevitable. Direct election, howe ver. would be the wrong way to go. In a hotly contested race with a razor-thin margin ~ as in 2000 and maybe in 2004 - demands for a ,recount wouldn't be confin ed to Florida or other states where the vote was es pec iall y close. Rather, every ballot box in the country would have to be reopened to ensure that the co unt was acc urate. Also, charges of voter irregularity anywhere in the nation could enge nder outcome-delayin g rancor. Another possib le fix th at would not req Liire Congressional action or a constitutional amendment would be nati onal adoptio n of the Maine/Nebraska system in which electoral votes are allocated on a winnertake-all basis by Congressional di strict. But. this system also has dee p flaw s. It would ha ve res ulted in a victory by Nixon over John Kennedy in 1960 and it would have resulted in electoral vote ties in 1968, 1992 and 1996, throwing the election to the House of Representatives. And Bush w6u ld have won in 2000. anyway. Moreover, as University of Virginia professor Larry Sabato points out, the district plan "would encourage state legislatures to play even more games with redistricting than they already do. You'd have Rcpublican-leaning states with Democratic legislatures gerryma ndering to give their nominee the advantage, and vice versa. "It would be more incentive for the parties to draw districts that limit competition. What we need is more com petit ion." Indeed. my recommendation for election reformers is to sh ill their energies from campaign finance to promoting ere·:~ lion of an Iowa-style ind e p ~nde nt redistricting co mmi ssion in every state. charged with ens uring that Congre" ional districts are compact, conti guous and as competitive as possible. encourag ing candidates to· appeal tu vote rs ac ross party lines. An appealing alternative to direct election or the distri ct system fur the presidential vote is national adoption of the system proposed this year in Colorado: awarding each state's e lectoral votes in proportion to its popular vote. The idea has lost favor in Colorado because it would make the state le ss important to the ca ndidates. But applied nationall y. that disadvantage would vanish. The Colorado syste m wo uld keep so me of the advantages of the Electoral Col lege. such as encouraging federali sm. while also forc ing candidates to compete nationally. and not merely in eight to I0 battleground states. Presumably. it would also encourage turn out across the country. as minority-party voters in "safe" states would see more reason to go to the polls. The co unter-argument is that the candidates would still concentrate their time and money ~ this time, in the most-populous states, hoping for marginal advantages in New York. California and Texas ~ and would ignore rura l states like Iowa and Minnesota in the process. American Enterprise Institute scholar and Roll Call contributor Norman Ornstein says nationalizing the Colorado proposal "would be a nutty system. It's not th e Electoral College and it\ not direct voting. It's like takin g the back end of a donkey and the fron t end of a zebra and calling it a no wuy suc h an international forc e can be put into action by the United Nations.

Both he and Sabato also think there'd be a messy transition, with some states adopting one system and others a different one, confusing voters and politicians. Both experts favor eliminating "fai thl ess electors," and ·Ornstein says that Congress might consider a "bonus plan" under which the winner of the nationwide popular vote got extra electoral votes. Sabato, though, cautions agai nst change. "Remember campaign finance reform and the rise of 527s," he said . "Lots of structural changes get enacted for idealistic re asons and good intentions and end up having unintended consequences . I think the Founding Fathers had it pretty ri ght. They made some mistake s, but it's generally foolish to mess with what they invented . The . Electoral College has ge nerall y worked the way they intended. It exaggerates the popular vote to give the wi~ner a mandate. It res pects the pri nciple of federali sm. It didn't work in 2000 , but th at's the excepti on that pro ves the rule." · Let's hope it's an exception not soon repeated, especially thi s year. . (Monon Kondracke is executi1·e editor of Roll Cedi, the nt' ll'spaper ' of Capitol Hill.) Annan's rebut to me about Daifu·r In a lead letter in the Oct. 19 Washington Times. Edward Mortimer, director of communications for Kofi Annan, derides my charge that the United Nations is "hopeless" and is "folding its hands" as the killings, mass rapes and deaths by disease in refugee camps continue to increase in Darfur. Annan's spokesman claims the secretary-general "has left no stone unturned in calling for urgent action." For example, he says, Annan has set up a commission of inquiry "to determine whether acts of ge nocide have taken place." While thi s exercise in semantics will be explored for months, the de ath toll of black Africans in · Darfur now is more than 70,000 (according to the U.N. World Health Organization) and may be closer to 300,000, according to a report by Smith College professor Eric Reeves, synthe' sizing re liable mortality statisti cs.

But Annati sets up an " in ves ti ga t i~e" The Daily Sentinel • Page As www.mydailysentinel.com 2004 Electoral College priferable to alternatives If. as in 2000. the next president gets elected wi thout winning the popular vote, there'll be a renewed hue and cry to scrap the Electoral College. But, remembering campaign finance reform, let's be careful about it. Change definitely would be in order ~ and probably already is ~ if a so-called "faithless elector" disregarded the judgment of his or her state's voters and cast a bal- · lot for someone else, making a difference in the outcome. It's possible. in a very ti ght election, that electors could be bribed, threatened or importuned to · exerc ise their own judgment " ~ for instance, to ensure that the popular vote winner ·got the presidency. To prevent that possibility, it's probably a good idea that the states make electors' votes automatic. Doing away wi\h them entirely would req uire a constitutional amendment, but leg islatures could impose automaticity. If 2004 produces a repeat (or a reverse) of the 2000 situation, the demand for wholesale scrapping of the Elecloral College could well reach· critical mass. Polls on the subject indicate that substantial majorities of voters favor abolition and adoption of a direct popular vote system of electing the president. After AI Gore lost the presidency despite hi s 535,000-vote victory in the popul ar vote, Democrats introduced constitutional amendments tn Congress. but Republican s never held committee hearings on them. The closest the nation came to abolishing the Electoral College came in the aftermath of the 1968 election, when George Wallace's third-party candidacy almost denied Richard Nixon a majo rity, which would have thrown the election into the House. Even though Wallace secured 46 electoral votes, Nixon still managed to win Tuesday, November 2, 2004 on, as shown in the Oct. 4 report by this secretary-general to the U.N. Security Council: "Today, still-increasing numbers of the population of Darfur are ex posed, without any protec tion fro)ll their government. to hunger, fear and violence. The numbers affected by the conflict are growing and their suffering is being prolonged by inac- tion ." Inaction by, among others, Annan himself. and the U.N. Security Council's cynically useless resolutions. Romeo Dallaire writes in the Oct. 4 New York Times that "moral condemnation. trade penal ties and military efforts by African countrie s are simply not going to be enough to stop the killin g ~ not nearly enough. I know because I've seen it all happen before." . Is Annan waiting until, as in Rwanda . there are ROO.Q()() or more dead before he call s it genocide? Dallaire says NATO could equip and send troops. helicopters and other material , as could "count ries li ke·Germany and Canada that have more political leeway and often more cred ibility in the development world than the Securit y Coun cil members" who will not act anyway.

Bush, Kerry target battleground states in campaign's last hours Bv TERENCE HUNT MIAMI - In the closing ho urs of their bitter campaign, President Bush and c hallenger Sen. John Kerry c harged through the critical battlegrounds of Florida and Ohio on Sunday, going from hushed church services to r aucous campaig n rallies wi-th promises to keep America safe. Kerry said that if elected he would undertake an u nprecedented "tlurry of activity" to protect national security that would include q uick Cabinet appointments. "I'm going to make America safer and I have some very strong and real steps to take q uite immediately to make that happen," Kerry said in a n intervi ew with The Associated Press. Bush emphasized a similar theme . "If you believe A merica should fight the war 0 n terror with all her might a nd lead with unwavering c onfidencc," the president said, "I ask you, come stand by me. "If you are a Democrat who believes your party has tu rned too far left in thi s year, I ask you, come stand witlj me," Bush said. Strategists on both sides sa id Tuesday's election likely will hinge on which party is s uccessful in getting their voters to the poll s after two vastly different and costly C'ampaigns to increase tu rnout. Kerry senior adviser Mike said the McCurry Democratic campaign was no longer concerned with generating big turnouts at ra llies. but was foc used Ill stead on ha ving Kerry make quick stops to attract lo cal media coverage that might help voters decide. A rash of polls suggested th e race for the popular vote was essentially tied after the c ostliest political advertising ca mpaign in history - more th an $600 million spent by B ush, Kerry, their political parties and allied groups. The election's outcome al so was uncertain in the battie ground states, the eight or so states where Bush and Kerry are vying ·for a winni ng margin of the 270 El ectoral College votes ne eded to win the presidency. The campaign's final weekend was clouded by war and terrorism _ a videotape by Osama bin Laden and the de aths of eight U.S. Marines 111 Iraq. •Nonetheless, Karl Rove, th e president's top political viser called the race for ush. "We're ahead," he told re porters in Cincinnati. Ohio, th e last campaign stop Su nday. "We will win Fl orida and Ohio. We will ta ke at least two or three or fo ur states that were won by (Democrat AI) Gore in the las t election ."

" We will not rest - we will no t rest, we will keep the pressure on until the Cuban people enjoy the .same freedo ms in Havana they recei ve he re in America," Bu sh said.

" Cheney said Kerry's first response to bin Laden's new videotape was to take a poll to find out what he should say about it. A spokesm an for Kerry's campaign did not deny polling on the bin Laden videotape, but suggested Bush has done the same. Bush's campaign . strategist denied asking any poll questions about the alQaida terrorist. Bu sh told NBC News, meanwhile, that bin Laden is "not going to intimidate or decide this election " and said , "We are systematically destroying al-Qaida." "Because we've taken decisive action, al-Qaida's being dismantled. And we'll eventually get Osama bin Laden .

Daniel Lee Cole, 36. of Smyrna, Ga., was arrested ~Sunday on gross sexual imposition and kidnapping charges, a clerk at Toledo Municipal Court said.

He handcuffed the girls and sexually assaulted both of them before dropping them off, said police Sgt. George Kral. Cole was convicted five years ago of mole~ting a 9- year-old in Peachtree City · near Atlanta. He was on parole for his conviction for child molestation after serving four years in prison. He is a registered sex offender in Georgia . He was released from prison last November. Toledo police arrested Cole early S.unday after his car was . spotted by a tipster.

The Pistons won over many casual fans last June by picking apart the Lakers behind the effictent playmaking of Chauncey Billups, the midrange shooting of Richard Hamilton and the beneath-theboards energy of Ben Wallace. The old winning formula surrounding one or two superstars with role players - no ·longer sits unchallenged as the best way for NBA teams to build. But that doesn' t mean the old recipe is dead. What happened to the Pistons, in some minds. might be more indicative of a fluke than a fundamental shift. "They were a really true team and they played with great balance, they played unselfishly, they had depth and they happened to be in the right place at the right time and maybe catch the Lakers when they were at a point where they ·were a linle off." said Indiana coach Rick Carlisle. whose team lost to Brown's in the Eastern Conference final; . "That's no knock on Detroit. but being opportunistic is one of the things . that is really important in this league.'' The Heat were certainl y opportuni stic when they seized upon the availability of O'Neal - it first came up in a talk between Lakers owner Jerry Buss and Heat president Pat Riley about Riley 's interest in Ohio from Page 81 .Wilmington among others to open the season at the Con vocation Center before heading into MAC action wilh home games against Kent State. Miami. and Western Michigan. A meet-and- greet session with playm from both the Class rejoining the Lakcrs as coach - and acquired him for Lamar Odom, Caron Butler and Brian Gmnt. Also opportunistic were the Houston Rockets, who sent Steve Frdllcis, Cuttino Mobley and Kelvin Cato to Orlando for reigning scoring champ Tracy McGmdy. The Spurs found a way to plug their biggest hole, signing outside · shooti ng specialist Brent Barry as a free agent. Dallas. meanwhile, made wholesale changes by allowing Steve Nash to leave for Phoeni x, acquiring Jerry Stackhouse. Jason Terry ;md Erick Dampier and parting ways with Antawn Jamison and Antoine Walker. "I would say that it's a big jumble and we don't know who is going to come out of it on top," Mavericks coach Don Nelson said. There's been talk . that the balance of power has shifted from West to East because of the Pi stons' success and o· Neal's move, but the Western Conference still has more, teams able to compete for a championship. Denver, coming off a dramatic turnaround that gave the Nuggets their first playoff appearance since 1995, added Kenyon Martin without having to trade a player. Utah revamped its frontcourt by signing free agents Carlos Boozer and Mehmet Okur, and Phoenix overhauled its backcourt by bringing in Nash and Quentin Richardson. "I would say this year only 15 teams in the Western Conference think they're making the playoffs. which is all of them. And only I0 of those 15 think they're going to get home-court advantage," Houston coach Jeff Van Gundy said. "Two teams that think they 're going to get homecourt · advantage aren't even going to make the playoffs. So it's a difficult assignment." The Van Gundy brothers now have the two most powerful centers in the league at their disposal: Jeff enters his second season with Yao Ming, and Stan takes over from Jackson as O' Neal 's coach. Doc Rivers has taken over in Boston, while ex-Celtics coach Jim O' Brien has moved down the road to Philadelphia. The New Jersey Nets, winners of two of the last three Eastern Conference titles, have been decimated by the trades of Martin and Kerry Kitties and an injury to Jason Kidd that will sideline him for the early part of the season.

Bowden will oversee offseason trades and signings for a team that has announced it will move to. Washington next season if the local government approves funding for a new ballpark. He replaces Omar Minaya, who resigned during the final week of the regular season to become general manager of the New York Mets. However, the Washington team, owned by the 29 other major league clubs, is for sale and at least two dozen potential buyers have shown interest. Although Monday had been set as a deadline for expressing interest, baseball officials say . they will continue to accept feelers from potential owners for another week or two. Once the sale is completed. which isn ' t expected until late in the offseason or early during the regular season, the new owners might hire their own front office personnel. making Bowden's j,ob a temporary one . Major League Baseball had originally targeted Bob Watson . ba seball's vice president of on-field operation s. for the general manager's job. r-··-··-··-··-··-~·-··-"·-··-··-·-··- -··-··-···-··-··-··-··~·l I I I I I I I I I Reaeh 3 Counties ' Place Your Paid Classified Ad Iri Wednesday's Gallipolis Daily Tribune, Point Pleasant Register, or Daily Sentinel, And It Will Run For FREE .

Who draws what concluston . and how does it affect his play? Declarer sees only tllree poten tial losers: one spade, one heart and one club . The sole risk to his contract is an opposing ruff. So. his plan should be to get in and immediately play two rounds of trumps (or, if the rufl risk seems remote to take the heart finesse to try lor an overtrick). The defenders need to arrange a ruff. and here the spotlight falls on East. West's spade-nine lead is clearly from shortage . _ (Since East can see the spade eight. West cannot have led top-ot-noth tng.) Is it a singleton, or a doubletOn ? East should consider both possibilities. If West started with one spade. South began with five. This is most unlikely, because South. with 5-5 in the majors, would have opened one spade. not one heart. East makes the assumptio~ that his partner has a doubleton spade. So, at trick one, he retatns his ace. instead stgnaling encouragement with the eight. South immedtate ly plays the ace and another heart. but West takes the trick with his ~ing and leads hts second spade. East wins and gives hts partner the key spade ruff. Finally, West cashes the club G BIG NATE T ' •• •• 54 Util. bill 55 Feminine portrayer pronoun 13 Soldeclng tool 15 Mounlaln refrain 57 61 82 63 Schmoozes Ark builder Relalives 1960s 16 Bail out 17 Location hairdo 64 Starry vista I B Answer 65 Mole, 20 Indy drivers maybe 22 ER pictures 66 Boo-boo (hyph.) reminder 25 Horde 26 ··- Girls"' DOWN 27 Yearsonend 28 Medicine 1 Still exist man 2 Elmer, 3I Taboo (hyph.) to Bugs 33 Before 3 Not a dit 34 Dick Tracy's 4 Hazy wife 5 Do in 38 Famous last 6 Luau fare 19 Hairpin 43 Cloister curve dweller 21 Legal org. 45 Black cat, 22 Warrior perhaps 46 Nimbuses prmcess Dorm unit 23 47 - Rave sore 53 Contradict 56 Rose fruit 29 Mall amenities (2 wds.) rescued her 30 Utmost word 58 Pro Bowl letters 7 Perseus 39 Soho co. 40 Speeds oH 41 LIHie - 8 Great lakes Sl.

Might as well. They 've already turned into pumpkins. The NFL's most downtrodden fran chise is in no position to conjure another improbable playoff run. A 27-20 loss in Tennessee left C incinnati (25) stuck in last place in the AFC North. headed in the wrong direction. The loss wiped away that smidgen of hope sparked by a solid Monqay night win over Denver, revealing the Bengals for what they are: a team that rises to the occasion only on rare occasions. "We didn't play with poise," coach Marvin Lewis summed it up on Monday. Instead, they played I ike a team that's still a long way from figuri ng out what it needs to do get itself turned around. It appeared they were past that stage last season. when they recovered from an identical 1-4 start by knockin g off some of the NFL's hottest teams in Lewis' first season.

Lewis tries to stay calm on the sideline so his team keeps i'ts composure. That defensive bungle was more than he co uld handle . 'There was no trickery on the play. no big deal." Lewis said. "Just do yo LJr job, we're off the tield, end of the half and no points. It was a hu ge play in the football game. Huge." Lewis, who coordinated the defense that led Baltimore to a Super Bowl championship in the 2000 season, hasn't been ab le to get this unit in sync. He thinks the biggest problem is veterans making mi stakes because they' re trying to cover for the rookies. " It's not because they' re not trying," Lewis said. 'They ' re trying to do too much and the y' re trying to compen sate. And when you compensate. you get beat." Lewis gave his players an extra day off Monday to recover from the loss and get in the right frame of mind to play the Cowboys (3-4) next Sunday in their new orange jerseys. "There 's got to be a new ene rgy, a new focus on just doing it the right way." he tion. '' said. "We've seen it time and In a rare show of emotion. time again.

"What "poise· means is making plays and doing yo ur job under stress. under duress," Lewis said. "And I think that 's the disappointing thing of our football team: We didn ' t hamlle that.

But they 're not the ones making the biggest mi stakes. The NFL\ worst run defense was at it agai'n Sunday. giving up 1·63 yards.

Obviously. it wasn't nearly enough time. Using the weekly grading reports he got from Cleveland's secondary coach to prove his point, Little said Monday that the demotion is undeserved and unfair. "I' m hearing all this junk," Little said. " But the truth is I've been playing good foot ball. The evidence is right here." With that, Little thumbed through handwritten reports that were given to him by assistant coach Chuck Pagano. Little said they show he hasn't made mental mistakes and verify that he's doing a good job for the Browns (3-4). "Balti more,'' Little said peeling back the page from Cleve land 's season-opening win. "No me nt al mistakes. The Gianh. No mental. Cincinnati Bcngals'. I graded out I00 percent.'' Sure enough. in the top right hand corner of the sheets, "No ME" was written and circled. The li kab le qule, never afraid to 'peak his mind on any subject. was to ld early last week lw Browns coJch Butch Davi s · that he was being benched in fa\ or of Crocker. Afterward. Little had heated conversations with Davis and defensive coordi nator Dave Campo. He wanted to kno,w why he was the one being singled out on Cleveland's defense, which has been prone to giving up big plays this season. Little still doesn ' t get it: "When you've worked so hard and had something taken away from you, you' re hurt," said Little, , third on the Browns with 50 tackles. "But I ain't going to cry abo ut it and ihrow a tantrum. When they told me about it, I was really hot because I know what I've worked for. I've been playing consistent football since I've been here.
