Philadelphia loses two players
The Associated Press
The Philadelphia Eagles could find it a lot more difficult to defend the NFC East title next season.
The team lost two players yesterday: linebacker Shawn Barber to Kansas City and Brian Mitchell to the New York Giants. The Eagles also stand to lose their top defensive end and pass rusher, Hugh Douglas, another unrestricted free agent, although they hope to re-sign him.
Barber, one of several soughtafter linebackers available this
year, signed with a team attempting to bolster a defense that was the NFLs worst statistically last season.
The 34-year-old Mitchell, one of the best return men in NFL history, is expected to provide a major lift to the Giants' special teams, which have been dismal the past three seasons.
Both Barber and Mitchell are ex-Redskins once removed. Both began their careers with Washington, which dominated the free-agent market in the first three days. The team signed eight players, primarily offensive and
defensive linemen, and traded for running back Trung Candate.
Washington's official additions yesterday were guards Lennie Friedman and Tre Johnson, who both signed free agent contracts.
Barber signed a seven-year deal with the Chiefs, who finished 8-8, excelling on offense but allowing the most yards in the league last season.
"He possesses the skills, abilities and experience that should improve our defense immediately," Chiefs president Carl Peterson said.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
More than anything,yesterday afternoon taught me that there is no reason not to be a fan while I still have the opportunity.
At 5:00 p.m., I realized that I did not want to sour the experience, so I told myself that hitting one more shot would satisfy me.
I pulled up from the wing, just as I had seen Jeff Boschee do hundreds of times, and hit the
perfect 3-pointer. Grabbing the ball, I looked up at the banners and scoreboard, then down at the legendary floor and realized that this is what life is all about.
For 45 minutes, I forgot about my busy life. For 45 minutes, I truly had a first-hand experience of the authenticity of Kansas basketball. But most importantly, for 45 minutes, I saw life and what is truly important to me in its purest form.

Creighton wins its final home game
The Associated Press
OMAHA, Neb. — Larry House scored a career-high 28 points to lead No.19 Creighton past Wichita State 86-60 last night.
Creighton (26-4, 15-3 Missouri Valley Conference) outscoed the Shockers 26-8 in the first eight minutes of the second half to put the game away.
Paul Miller scored 18 to lead Wichita State (17-10, 12-6).
House, who shot 11-of-16 from the floor, scored his final points on a short jumper with 6:24 left. His legs got tangled in traffic after the basket, and he left with a twisted ankle.
He hobbled to the bench, to chants of "Lar-ry, Lar-ry" from the fans who showed up to honor House and fellow seniors Kyle Korver and DeAnthony Bowden.
The Bluejays finished 17-0 in their last season at Civic Auditorium; next season they'll move
nine blocks away to a new downtown arena that is under construction. This is the third time in the program's 85-year history that Creighton has gone unbeaten at home.
The Shockers committed 25 turnovers in the game, compared with 10 for Creighton.
Both teams struggled at the start, however, with each missing nine of its first 10 shots. Korver, who had 13 points, barely struck iron with his first 3-point attempt, and he put up an airball on his second.
Korver made the third, though,
and the Bluejays went on a 17-6
run to take a 21-10 lead.
Paul Miller scored six straight points to pull the Shockers to 26-22 late in the first half. But Tyler McKinney hit a pull-up jumper from the free-throw line, Nathan Funk made a short shot and Grimes made a bank shot underneath to help the Bluejays stretch the lead to 34-24 at halftime.
