Columbia revises hockey suspension
NEW YORK — The Columbia University Athletic Department officially announced the reinstatement of the men's ice hockey club on Wednesday in a statement, citing a possible miscommunication over the club sports policy.
The team will be required to participate in leadership training and will be suspended from preseason competitions. The team will be on probation for one year. The former punishment suspended the team until the spring and put it on two-year probation.

Bonds'trainer ends second prison stay
SAN FRANCISCO
U. S. District Judge William Alsup said Barry Bonds' personal trainer Greg Anderson must be freed because a federal appeals court hadn't affirmed the contempt order within the 30 days after Anderson was jailed. He could be returned to prison if the appeals court affirms the Aug. 28 contempt citation.
The trainer has been imprisoned twice for refusing to testify before a grand jury investigating whether the Giants slugger committed

perjury when he said he never knowingly used steroids.
Rangers dismiss dugout leader

Associated Press
— Jon Daniels marked his one-year anniversary as the Texas Rangers general manager with his toughest decision yet: he fired manager Buck Showalter.
Daniels expected more than an 80-82 record and the Rangers' sixth loss season in seven years. He saw the need for a change in leadership, a different kind of communicator in the dugout.
Showalter was 319-329 in four seasons with the Rangers, his third managerial job. Texas never finished above third place.
Duquesne gunmen to face trial for shooting
PITTSBURGH -- Two men accused of shooting five Duquesne University basketball players outside a school dance were ordered Wednesday to stand trial.
William Holmes, 18, and Derek Lee, 18, face five counts each of attempted homicide and aggravated assault and one count of carrying a firearm without a license in the Sept. 17 shootings. Neither is a Duquesne student.
The most seriously injured of the five players, Sam Ashalou, was moved Monday from critical care into a rehabilitation center. The others are back on campus.

Kansas to continue road stretch at Oklahoma
BY DREW DAVISON
Historically, the Kansas volleyball team has had success against Oklahoma.
The lajawhaks have not lost to the Sooners since 2001.
The team hopes history will hold true when it travels to Norman, Okla., to take on the hot Sooners on Saturday at the Howard McClasland Field House.
Kansas (8-8, 1-6 Big 12 Conference) was swept Wednesday at No. 17 Missouri, while No. 25 Oklahoma (13-3, 5-1) swept Baylor at home, increasing its win streak to four.
"We need to keep looking forward to win," Jamie Mathewson, senior libero, said. "Every game someone can beat someone, so we need to keep our hopes up."
Oklahoma has a strong offensive front that Kansas will need to contain. The Sooners rank second in the Big 12 with a .253 hitting percentage. They rank third in kills, with an average of 16.09 per game.
Kansas coach Ray Bechard said he talked with his team about everyone needing to do a better job individually.
"It's under their controi," he said.
Bechard said the team needed to limit the number of runs opponents were able to go on to get going in the right direction.
"Things like not tracking the hitter you are supposed to track."
"If you have a five-point swing in a volleyball match, you're taking yourself out of the game," he said.
Missouri had separate five- and six point unanswered runs Wednesday, which enabled it to sweep Kansas.
The Jayhawk defense will need to improve as well, especially against Sooner outside hitter Joanna Schmitt, who averages 4.31 kills per game.
Kansas outside hitter Jana Correa said the team had practiced well, but it has not transitioned to the games.
"We're working hard, trying our best," she said. "But it seems like in a game it doesn't work out the same way like it does in practice."
Kansas returns home next to face in-state rival Kansas State on Oct. 11.

The season gets under way for the Kansas swimming and diving team this afternoon. The traditional intrasquad meet will take place at 4 p.m. at the Robinson Natatorium and is free to students

The meet will split the team into Blue and Crimson squads for the competition. It will feature a unique order of events to allow the team to experience new lineups different from a regular season meet.
Coach Clark Campbell, entering his fifth year as coach for the team, continues the ongoing tradition. Campbell prepares to lead a team that returns 20 letterwriters. The team will also feature 12 incoming freshmen who look to add to the success experienced last season.

TENNIS Jayhawks travel to Indiana to play in Hoosier Classic
The University of Kansas tennis team will take part in the Hoosier Classic today. The tournament will take place at the University of Indiana in Bloomington, Ind., and will last through Sunday afternoon.
This will be the second tournament for the Jayhawks so far this season. Earlier this season, the Jayhawks competed in the Deacon Classic tournament, where sophomore Yuliana Svistun won the championship in the Flight D bracket.
Svistun's first-place finish was the highest finish in the tournament that Kansas had all weekend.
In-state rival Kansas State is also scheduled to play in the tournament. This will be the first time this season that Kansas and Kansas State will be competing in the same tournament.
