PHOTO BY BRANDON GOODWIN | STAFFUK freshman Anthony Davis blocks North Carolina forward John Henson’sshot to preserve a 73-72 victory on Saturday.

Anthony Davis had watched tape of the UK-North Carolina game from last year’s Elite Eight.He had been told to close out on any shooter, re-gardless of whether it was his man or not.

So when he was guarding Tyler Zeller on thefinal play and the ball flew toJohn Henson for a 12-foot jumpshot, Davis reacted. He sprintedat him, jumped with his arm out-stretched and felt his fingertipsbend backward the slightest bit.

Game over. UK wins, 73-72.Rupp Arena crackled with elec-tricity and the players rushedaround the floor before headinginto a crazed locker room andgetting this command from headcoach John Calipari:

“Hug Anthony,” Caliparisaid, “because he saved you.”

The players needed to have a group hug, be-cause everybody contributed to the win.

Terrence Jones kept UK alive in the first half,scoring all 14 of his points then. He and Henson,matched up, battled back and forth, unafraid to leteach other know when they made a play with along look.

“He was challenged by (this type of game),”Calipari said. “It was his best game of the year.”

Exiting the half down five points, it was threeother players who pushed UK ahead.

“The second half was the story of (Doron)Lamb, (Darius) Miller and (Michael) Kidd-Gilchrist,” Roy Williams said.

Miller made a key shot with three minutes left.Kidd-Gilchrist made two free throws to put UK upfour with 1:33 left and was really the star of thegame with 17 points and 11 rebounds, both tops onthe team. Lamb hit two “huge” 3-pointers, as Cali-pari called them, down the stretch.

“I told Doron at halftime, if we’re going towin, you’re going to be the one to help us do it,”Jones said. “You’re going to be the one to knockdown some shots for us.”

Davis closed out on Henson the same way heclosed out the game: strong. Before he took the

Breakfast with Santahelps hospital patients

Madison Glaze doesn’t know what shewants for Christmas.

But the 5-year-old from Danville isquick to tell you the names of her stuffedanimals:

Fudge, a cat; Rainbow, a dolphin; andBubbles, a dog.

Jo Ann Setters, who has custody ofGlaze, said her granddaughter knew whatshe wanted for Christmas before being ad-mitted to the hospital on Nov. 21 for respi-ratory disorders, including the flu andpneumonia, and an antibiotic disorder thatcauses weakness.

Setters said Glaze wanted “gobs ofstuff,” including a Wuggle Pet, games forher Nintendo DS and any kind of doll.

On Saturday, Glaze, other patients at

the UK Children’s Hospital, and communi-ty members shared breakfast with SantaClaus at the children’s hospital.

Setters said the breakfast was a wel-come break from routine for patients, in-cluding Glaze.

“It gives her something to do to takeher mind off being sick,” Setters said. “Notto mention seeing Santa Claus.”

UK Children’s Hospital began Breakfastwith Santa Claus 25 or 26 years ago, saidJeanie Lee, former president of the UK Hos-pital Auxiliary, who founded the event.

She said the breakfast was somethingfun for the patients, who get to meet Santaand university athletes, who also come toshare breakfast with the kids. Communitymembers can also bring their children tovisit Santa.

Not even close:UK downs U of L Toppling the Tar Heels

The UK Hoops teamsused different ingredients thanusual, but they still concoctedanother lopsided victory infront of almost 8,000 fans at asold-out Memorial ColiseumSunday afternoon.

The No. 11 Cats (8-0)turned advantages in rebound-ing, second-chance points,and 3-point shooting into a74-54 victory over the No. 10Louisville Cardinals.

The Cats came in to thegame leading the NCAA inturnover margin, but coughedup the ball themselves thesame number of times as UL(26), leading to just a one-point advantage in points offturnovers (26-25).

“I thought we needed toturn them over, but we shotthe ball great today,” said UKhead coach MatthewMitchell. “I am proud of the

players and proud we got thevictory.”

UK made up for the lackof turnovers, however, by out-rebounding the Cards 34-25for the game.

“We’ve really tried to fo-cus on becoming a great of-fensive rebounding team,”said Mitchell. “We have theathletes to do it, we just haveto focus and work reallyhard.”

“You can’t win big gamesif you’re not going to reboundthe basketball.That’s a men-tality,” said Louisville headcoach Jeff Walz. “You’ve gotto have a little fight in you togo in and rebound the ball.”

The Cats converted therebounding advantage topoints, outscoring the Cardsin second chance points 24-10.

Students meet withD.C. representatives

Members from StudentGovernment will meet withKentucky representatives inWashington, D.C., this weekto discuss intern programsand funding for UK stu-dents.

The Wildcat InterestGroup is the newest serviceprovided by SG, created tobring student interests to theattention representatives inFrankfort and Washington,D.C.

“The internship initiativeis to send UK students toD.C. every summer to workon Capitol Hill,” Doane, a po-litical science senior, said.

He said Washington, D.C.is one of the most expensivecities to live in.

“One ofour majorgoals is toget the alum-ni associa-tion to startan endow-ment pro-gram andsupport stu-

dents going to D.C. as ambas-sadors for the commonwealthand UK,” Doane said.

Jackson, a political sci-ence junior, also said a goal isto have the full support of thealumni.

“Through this initiativewe hope we will be able to af-fordably provide great oppor-tunities for students,” he said.“Our goal is to leave D.C.with pledges from delegatesto secure internships for UKstudents.”

An unwritten rule of magic is to never re-peat a trick. You don’t want the audience tosee how it’s done. Yet movies are a magictrick repeated 18 times per second. And re-cently, several fine films have invited us be-hind the celluloid curtain.

“My Week With Marilyn” is a memoir ofthe whirlwind that was stirred up when ulti-mate movie star Marilyn Monroe clashed withultimate stage actor Laurence Olivier on theset of the 1956 comedy “The Prince and theShowgirl.” The black-and-white French im-port “The Artist” is an affectionate tribute to1920s Hollywood, when silent cinema waseclipsed by the new technology of talkies. Andin Martin Scorsese’s epic “Hugo,” an or-phaned boy in 1930s Paris finds a home in thethroes of a testy toy merchant who turns out tobe forgotten film pioneer Georges Melies.

Cinema is a collaborative art form. Eventhe behind-the-scenes personnel retain theirsense of wonder that such chaos could pro-duce a movie. There are many memoirs andscripts about the cinematic sausage factory,from Buster Keaton’s “The Camerman” andBilly Wilder’s “Sunset Boulevard” to WoodyAllen’s “Stardust Memories” and DavidMamet’s “State and Main.”

In “My Week With Marilyn,” the Ameri-can love goddess invades the staid studiowhere a stage-trained English actor is trying totransition to screen stardom. Olivier (impecca-bly impersonated by Kenneth Branagh) is aclassical actor, but Hollywood native Monroe(astonishingly embodied by Michelle

Williams) seduces the camera, even while theinsecure starlet struggles to find a method-act-ing motivation within the constraints of a cos-tume farce.

“The Artist,” which has vaulted to near thetop of the Oscar race, is a virtually wordlessprimer on the grammar of film. DirectorMichel Hazanavicius had previously spoofed1960s spy movies in the “OSS 117” series.But in reteaming with a Gallic Peter Sellersnamed Jean Dujardin, he has cracked the codeof protocinematic melodrama. The movie is agestural joy, as astute about emotional telegra-phy as any Charlie Chaplin classic.

“Hugo” goes back even further, to the rootsof moving pictures in the nickelodeons of the1900s. When an orphan who lives in a Paristrain station circa 1930 learns that his mentor isMelies, it gives ardent preservationist Scorsesean excuse to exhume his legacy. Melies was amusic-hall magician circa 1900 who learned thetricks of film editing and directed 500 films —which were melted down for their compositechemicals in the run-up to World War I. Scors-ese’s respect for Melies’ mastery includes a tu-torial on special-effects editing.

There’s a similar impulse in the new pup-peteering documentary “Being Elmo,” whichpresents us with drawers of bulging eyeballsand reveals the secret stitch that turns greenfelt into good feelings.

It’s true that movies are an illusion, yetflickering frames are the stuff that dreams aremade of.

floor, he went to an assistantcoach and admitted he wasnervous.

Nervous, despite TerrenceJones reminding his fresh-men that this was the eighthgame of the season, not thenational championship. Nerv-ous, despite Calipari calling

his team into his office thenight before the game to tellthem to relax. Then again,Calipari “told us he’d beencoaching so long it felt likejust another game to him.”

But it wasn’t. It reallywasn’t, no matter how muchanybody tried to temper theanticipation. You could tellby how the players acted inthe first half, by how coachesreacted and by the way Rupp

Arena crackled with electrici-ty before, during and afterthe game. And it lived up toit, totally and completely. UKand North Carolina foundtheir match, finding a teamthat had as much size, talent,skill and athleticism as itself.

“It just was going backand forth, point-to-point,”Davis said. “Somebody hadto get a stop. I’m glad it wasus, on the last play.”

Calipari compared it to aheavyweight fight. Williamsnoted how many “giftedyoungsters” the teams had.

“This is supposed to(happen) in March,” Caliparisaid. “Not now.”

That’s the biggest take-away for UK. It’s Dec. 3,and this game did nothingbut bolster confidence inUK’s long-term chances.

In the here and now,

though, UK can continuehugging each other, includingDavis, the man who whomade the play when it mat-tered most, blocking a shotthat Calipari said nobody else

in America could get to.But UK has those guys

that nobody else has. Andthat’s what makes them so spe-cial.

said. “Some of them get so excited.”The man behind this year’s Santa

suit was Gary Ginn, the Fayette Countycoroner and the body bequeathal pro-gram coordinator at UK.

Ginn has been Santa for the hospitalfor eight years. He said he thinks seeingSanta gives the kids happiness and joy. Hesaid adults enjoy the event, too, and some-times are just as excited as the children.

“We want to know what their wishesare,” Ginn said.

Bonnie Thornton, director of volun-teer services at UK — which organizesthe event, said this year was the largestcrowd yet for the breakfast, with around150 people attending.

Grace Trimble, a freshman tennisplayer, was one of more than 30 UK ath-letes who had breakfast at the hospital.

She said she had been excited for theevent since she found out she was going.Student athletes can be in their “own lit-tle world,” Trimble said, and she was

happy for the opportunity to give back tothe community.

“To see the joy when they see you isamazing,” Trimble said. “I miss beingaround kids.”

Football players Taiedo Smith andJake Lewellen said this was their firstyear having breakfast with the kids.They agreed it was a good experienceand said it was “cool to see a bunch ofpeople out here for the same cause.”

“Once they learn we’re football play-ers,” Lewellen said, “they get excited —a little surprise for them.”

Louisville was making usstruggle to score,” saidMitchell.

The Cats held U of L to5-19 shooting behind the arc.

“They are a really goodteam and the shots fell for ustoday,” Mitchell said. “Theygot more open shots than Iwould have preferred, I cantell you that.”

UK was more efficientfrom 3-point land, connectingon 10 of 19, for a 15-pointadvantage in the game.

A key run for the Catsstarted with 13:14 left in the

first half, when U of L guardBecky Burke hit a 3-pointbasket to give the Cards a 10-9 lead.

The Cats then held theCards without a field goal forover six minutes, as theywent on a 15-3 run to claim a25-12 advantage. The UK runwas fueled by two made 3-point baskets and three sec-ond-chance goals. The Catsnever trailed again.

The Cards went in to thelocker room at halftime down40-23. Every time the Cardspulled close in the secondhalf, the Cats had an answer.

Louisville drew within 14points, 56-42, midwaythrough the second half and

had a open look from behindthe arc by guard ShoneSchimmel rim out.

Within the next minute ofaction, the Cats drilled two 3-pointers, one each by AmberSmith and Kastine Evans, tostretch the lead right back outto 20 points. The Cards werenever able to get closer than17 the rest of the way.

Junior guard A’dia Math-ies led the Cats with 20points, hitting 4 of 7 from be-hind the arc and 8 of 11 fromthe free throw line.

“She (Mathies) wastremendously focused andprepared,” said Mitchell.“She played a beautifulgame.”

Several of Mathies’ looksbehind the arc were wideopen.

“They played me for thedrive, because I am more of adriver than a shooter,” saidMathies. “But if you leave

me open, I’m going to takethe shot. They fell tonight.”

UK comes back to beat UNC 73-72

UK’s offensive adjustmentsfrom the St. John’s gameproved to be successful in UK’svictory against North CarolinaSaturday at Rupp Arena.

While it is still early in theseason, the Cats believe thiswon’t be the last time they playUNC this season.

“I definitely think we’llprobably see them again,” sen-ior guard Darius Miller said.“We hope to be there toward theend of the season in the tourna-ment and we’re pretty sure theywill be.”

UK head coach John Cali-pari told his players this wouldbe a game of runs, which wasproven to be true with thematchup’s eight lead changes.

“It was just going back andforth, point-to-point,” freshmanforward Anthony Davis said.“Somebody had to get a stop.I’m glad it was us, on the lastplay.

Following a last-secondshot blocked by Davis, the Catswere able to recover the ball forthe final seconds to steal a 73-72 win from the Tar Heels.

“He saved us,” Miller said.“Ant(hony) came out ofnowhere. I didn’t even see him,his arms are so long, but he def-initely saved the game for us.”

The game was a continuousbattle for both teams, with eachteam attacking relentlessly forthe full 40 minutes.

But for the first 20 minutes,it was the Tar Heels attackingthe rim, leading UK by five atthe half.

The Cats were able to get tothe rim, but unable to finish,struggling in the paint with thesize of UNC’s Harrison Barnes,

Tyler Zeller and John Henson.With the experience from

these players, UK’s veteranleadership was going to be vitalfor a successful outcome withUNC. Calipari especially want-ed sophomore Terrence Jones tostep up, and he did.

Jones recorded 14 points,seven rebounds and threeblocks, each while competingwith Henson on matchups.

“That was his best game ofthe year,” Calipari said, “and hewas challenged by it.”

The Cats came back with a5-0 run to open the second halfand continued to strike until theCats finally took the lead.

As Calipari predicted, it wasa game of runs, essentially trad-ing shot-for-shot until the finalseconds.

Both teams answered quick-ly with each possession until theCats were able to slow downthe pace of the game by runningdown the clock, which allowedthem to set up plays and main-tain control of the game.

“I think we did a reallygood job running offense in thesecond half by slowing it downand taking away the fast breakpoints,” Jones said. “I feel welimited them to about two ofthose. It was a really good gameplan by Coach (Calipari).”

But with a road trip to atough Indiana crowd approach-ing next week, the Cats are con-centrating on staying focusedand taking things game bygame.

“I’ve already talked to a fewof the guys about how crazy it’sgonna be,” Miller said. “Thecrowd does a great job of get-ting them hyped up and gettingthem pumped up and they’regoing to be ready to play, sothat’s another tough game.”

Marquis Teague could have been thegoat.

In the final seconds of UK's winagainst North Carolina, Teague wasfouled with UK up one point but misseda free throw.

But Anthony Davis saved the daywith a block to seal the win.

In a happy and relieved lockerroom, Davis received a hug fromTeague after the game.

“He (Teague) said 'I love you, kid.I love you,'” Davis recalled. “Just keptsaying I love you.”

For the Cats, “love” has been aword Calipari often uses to describe the

chemistry of the team.“I like my team,” he said, “but

more importantly, they love each oth-er.”

Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, who alsosaid he owed Davis a hug after hisblock, said the team is coming to-gether as they go through college to-gether.

“We’re just growing up,” Kidd-Gilchrist said. “On the court and off thecourt. Just (being) away from homeand everything like that. It’s just abrotherhood now, I think.”

Kidd-Gilchrist is especially closewith Darius Miller, despite the fact thatthey are competing for a starting spot.Last week, Kidd-Gilchrist offered uphis starting spot to Miller if need be.

While Calipari has yet to take him upon that offer, Davis said it showedKidd-Gilchrist's character and the bondthe team has already.

“D-Mill's my big brother,” Kidd-Gilchrist said. “So I want to thank himfor that, for real. He’s taken me underhis wing.”

That's included helping him honehis jump shot and helping the teamadapt to the challenges of competingagainst experienced teams such asUNC, the young squad proved to beworthy of a No. 1 ranking.

But they're still young.“So is Marquis Teague, so is Kidd-

Gilchrist and Kyle Wiltjer,” Caliparisaid. “They're all playing on instinctright now.”

Young Cats team feeling the loveBy Sam Rothbauer

The UK volleyball team eliminatedNo. 16-seeded Texas A&M from theNCAA Tournament Friday, 25-18, 25-21, 25-19, at Reed Arena in CollegeStation, Texas. The Cats advance to theSweet Sixteen on Dec. 9, where theywill play No. 1 Texas.

UK head coach Craig Skinner saidhe expected his team to perform wellgoing into the game against A&M.

“For whatever reason, I had a feel-ing on the bus coming over here thatwe were pretty focused and ready togo,” Skinner said. “I’m real excited,not just because we won the match buthow we performed tonight.”

Although A&M scored the firstpoint of the match, UK started thegame with more energy and took theearly lead. Junior libero Stephanie Kle-fot was UK’s emotional catalyst to ex-tend the lead in the first set to 15-11.Junior hitter Ashley Frazier served anace followed by a service error that leftthe UK advantage at 17-13. Anothercouple of points for the Cats forced theAggies to take their second timeout

while trailing 19-13.A&M came out of the timeout with

a newfound energy, but UK never re-linquished its lead with a .441 hittingpercentage and 11 blocks to win thefirst game, 25-18. UK junior ChristineHartmann said the coaches prepared ef-fective scouting reports.

“Our coaches do a great job of get-ting us ready to go and I don’t thinkthere was anything that we weren’t ex-pecting,” Hartmann said. “(A&M’sLindsey Miller) played great against usbut we knew it was coming.”

UK withstood a 4-1 A&M run earlyin the second set to take a 2-0 lead.

Another quick start for UK in thethird set led the Aggies to call a time-out after falling behind 10-4. A&M bat-tled back to cut the UK lead to 13-11before the Cats called a timeout of theirown. A&M rode a string of points totake the lead at 18-17.

Tension mounted when UK’s Whit-ney Billings blocked a spike fromA&M’s Black, seeming to take backmomentum from the surging Aggies.UK scored five consecutive points tofinish the match and A&M’s season.

Billings helped UK advance to the

third round of the NCAA Tournamentwith 17 kills on a .400 hitting percent-age. She said playing at Memorial Col-iseum will play in the Cats’ favor.

“That’s a huge advantage for us,”Billings said. “Obviously we’re goingto have a big opponent (but) our fansare very loyal and they get us in to it.”

Wildcat fans can alwaysfind this team decked out inblue and white and shakingpom-poms at UK football andbasketball games.

While many people mayassume these girls are cheer-leaders, they actually have adifferent title: the UK DanceTeam.

Though its members areused to the confusion be-tween their team and thecheerleading squad, they havetheir own separate identities.

“We get confused withthe cheerleading team often,”senior Alex Solomon said.“Mostly we see the confusionat football games when wewear our skirts, but we try notto let it bother us or affectwhat we do.”

Junior Brittany Fielagreed that the dance team isfrequently confused with thecheerleaders, but said most ofthe dancers are used to it.

During her three years onthe dance team, Fiel said shehas seen numerous instancesof this mix-up.

One time, she said, a fanspecifically asked to take a pic-ture with the “cheerleaders.”

“No one wanted to cor-rect the fan because we real-ize that many people do notknow the difference,” Fielsaid. “But it is kind of awk-ward sometimes, like whenthat fan clearly wanted a pic-

ture with the cheerleaders.” Molly Karr, a former

team dancer, rememberedhow the cheerleaders receivedmore coverage than the danceteam at the opening of theWorld Equestrian Games lastyear, when the two groups dida combined routine.

Solomon also noticed thedifference in amount of cover-age between the two squads.

“It does not really makeus mad that the cheerleadersget more coverage than us,”Solomon said. “They havewon numerous nationalchampionships and haveworked hard for them, so theydeserve it.”

Many dancers agreed thatthe titles the cheerleadershave won and the coveragethe cheerleaders get helps tomotivate the dancers andbring the team together.

Freshman Kelsey Chapinsaid that being called cheer-leaders and seeing the atten-tion the team gets makes thedancers more determined towork hard and win a champi-onship, too.

But the dance team hasstarted to get more recogni-tion and hopes their constantwork in the gym, with prac-tices held every four to sevendays a week, pays off in andout of competition.

“This year we have all

bonded as a team so much,”Fiel said. “We are like a fam-ily, and not only because weare around each other somuch. Each and every teammember is strong for the oth-er and we are always there forone another.”

Fiel said the team recentlytaped for Nationals and eventhough it involved 16 girls,the rest of the dance teamwent to support the girls.

Chapin said this year’steam started off closer to eachother than ever before.

“At first, the freshman werehesitant about speaking up ordoing anything wrong in frontof the seniors,” Chapin said.

The seniors made thefreshman feel comfortableright off the bat, she said, bygiving them advice, expecta-tions and providing helpfulinformation at the summercamp.

Members of the team saidtheir friendships help them toform their own identity.

“I believe the dance teamhas been gaining more re-spect from the fans and we’reproving to the university thatwe are just as talented as thecheerleaders,” Solomon said.“We are all so close this yearand we’re working harderthan ever to bring home a na-tional championship forUK.”

A common case of mistaken identity

Dance team often confused with cheerleading team

It does notreally make us madthat the cheerlead-ers get more cover-age than us.”

opinions: editorial

The Wildcat Interest Group, Student Gov-ernment’s newest service, is sending two rep-resentatives from SGA to meet with state rep-resentatives to work to secure positions forUK students to intern in Washington, D.C.,during the summer.

This group is commended for attemptingto provide students with better opportunities,but this internship program seems a tad con-fusing, and sending students to Washington isa costly endeavor.

How in demand was the need for summer

internships on Capitol Hill? An internship ofthis sort seems to suit a particular individual,most likely one that is active in Student Gov-ernment.

Can a large amount of students take ad-vantage of it? Before we go send students to

D.C. using the student body’s money, itshould be acknowledged who exactly benefitsfrom the program. Let’s hope this costly jour-ney to Washington, D.C., for a select fewisn’t working to secure internships for selectmembers of Student Government to fill.

New interest program not of interest to all students
