    Stanford vs.CalQuiz Bowl features

    IBMs Watson

    By MARGARET RAWSONMANAGING EDITOR

    The Stanford and UC-Berkeley Quiz Bowl teamsmatched wits Thursday evening against each other and aformidable opponent the IBM Watson supercom-puter, capable of answering questions posed in natural

    language.The Jeopardy-style competition demonstrated the

    technology behind the powerful supercomputer Wat-son,named after IBM founder Thomas J.Watson.

    Stanfords team was represented by Nico Martinez07,J.D.13,Benji Nguyen 15 and Bill Rowan,a comput-er science graduate student.

    My assumption is that Watson will beat us, Rowansaid before the competition. According to Rowan, thestudent teams had an advantage parsing and under-standing the questions, while Watson held the advan-tage in buzzer speed,which turns out to be crucial.

    Its David and Goliath, said Jack Dubie 11, a com-puter science graduate student who helped organize the

    event.The stakes could not be higher,Rowan joked. Itsthe future of the human race.

    The game, moderated by Todd Crain who hasmoderated more than 100 matches between Watson andhumans was preceded by a presentation by EricBrown,an IBM research scientist.

    Its not about the game, Brown said of the long-term goals following Watsons early success.Its aboutthe technology and what were going to do with it.

    Additional research efforts arealso warranted upstream anddownstream of these biofuel syn-thesizing steps,Yu said.

    Production cost, efficiency andsustainability are the main con-cerns when producing biodiesel.Yuand her labs research point to E.coli as a promising factory ofbiodiesel production. They notethat E.colis natural rate of conver-

    sion is not commercially viable.However, the researchers hope toimprove this by changing its inter-nal machinery and boosting its con-version capabilities.

    According to Yu, researchersmust also consider the productyield from a specific amount of re-actant. She noted that researchers

    should seek to reach the theoreticalmaximal yield of 30 percent.Reaching this yield will make E.coli a more favored biodiesel alter-native.

    Currently only about 20 per-

    cent of this value is achieved, Yusaid, later adding, We aim to in-crease the yield as high as possiblewhile keeping the process econom-ically sound.

    This process is also more sus-tainable than biodiesel productiondue to a range of factors.

    There will be no competitionwi th food product ion, noseasonal/geographical variation ofraw material supplies and no de-pendence on petrochemicals, Yusaid.E. coli grows fast and is quiteamenable to genetic manipula-tion.

    Yu and Lius biofuel research iscurrently funded by LS9,Inc., a SanFrancisco-based biotech startupthat seeks to use synthetic materialsto provide sustainable products.

    New York Times questioningwhether Williams was a RhodesScholar candidate,as he said on hisresume.

    Williams,who was a starting line-backer and team captain his senioryear when the Cardinal finished No.9 in the national polls, also spentthree years as an assistant coach atStanford from 2002 to 2004.

    The controversy began whenYale quarterback Patrick Witt wasnominated for the scholarship. Aninterview for the scholarship fell onthe same day as the Yale versus Har-vard game, and Witt sought advicefrom Williams who said he faced asimilar situation at Stanford. Witteventually decided to stay and playthe game.

    However following a question byThe New York Times, the RhodesTrust said they had no record ofWilliams ever applying.The RhodesTrust said it keeps records for people

    even if they end up withdrawingtheir application.

    Williams maintains Stanford didendorse him,however he did not ad-vance as far as Witt, claiming the in-terview was informal.John Pearsonof Stanfords Bechtel InternationalCenter, which is in charge of advis-ing students about the RhodesScholarship on campus, declined togive information to The New YorkTimes.

    We feel that we cannot provideinformation that pertains to therecord of someone who was a Stan-ford student unless we received per-

    mission from that student, Pearsontold The New York Times.Pearson said he has never

    claimed to be a Rhodes finalist, andwasnt surprised that the RhodesTrust had no record of him becausehe didnt ever formally apply afterreceiving a nomination from a facul-ty member. Numerous articles overthe past few weeks have listed himas a Rhodes scholar finalist, and aYale alumni magazine in 2009 alsosays that Pearson was a finalist.

    EDITORIAL

    Beat Cal,but notwith batons

    In a week that usually involvesplenty of rivalry, from Big Singto Gaieties to the various Band

    rallies and,of course,Big Game,wewould like to take a moment tourge Stanford students to stand insolidarity with Cal students inrecognition of some of their recentstruggles.

    Many students will have seenthe videos of police action againstnon-violent protesters in Sproul

    Plaza on Nov. 9,2011.The studentswere members of the OccupyCalmovement,one of many simi-lar movements across the country,but with a more explicit focus on is-sues facing UC-Berkeley and theUC system. These concerns in-clude the significant fee hikes ofthe past few years as well as theissue of layoffs and reduced bene-fits for unionized Cal workers,among others.The students choseto protest in Sproul Plaza,holding

    rallies but also setting up amakeshift camp to maintain around-the-clock presence in keep-ing with the spirit of the Occupymovement. The Universitydeemed this encampment illegaland sent in police to dismantle theencampment. Protestors met thepolice and formed a human chainaround the tents in the tradition ofcivil disobedience and nonviolentprotest. The polices use of batonsto forcibly break through the chain

    was the subject of the video thatsoon went viral.

    We recognize that the adminis-tration and polices decision to dis-mantle the encampment on Nov. 9and again on Nov.17 was not a ma-licious one. Indeed, many of theconcerns that Chancellor RobertBirgeneau raised regarding thehygiene, safety,space and conflictissuesare valid.Any police force,

    tions for illegal lodging and failureto disperse when given a dispersalorder.

    Ultimately, the UC-BerkeleyPolice Review Board will assesslast weeks actions by the UCPD.Itis telling,however,that the recom-mendations made by the PoliceReview Board in June 2010 in thewake of the 2009 Wheeler Hallprotests have still not been fullyimplemented. In this context, the

    University must take more sub-stantive action,perhaps by first im-plementing the 2010 recommen-dations, to prove that it is commit-ted to the right of students toprotest peaceably.

    The issues of disinvestment inhigher education are not unique toCal, of course, and not even to theUC system. To this end, we ap-plaud those Cal students voicingtheir concerns, both on campusand in Sacramento, where a num-

    ber of students and faculty went tolobby legislators and hold a pressconference on the issue of disin-vestment in higher education inthe state. While Stanford is fortu-nate that it has benefited from con-siderable recent investment andhas not faced cuts in education orprogramming of the type that theUC system has undergone, Calsconcerns are,fundamentally, Stan-fords concerns. Reduced fundingfor public higher education means

    that Stanford students peers in theUC system may not have the re-sources or opportunities to furthertheir work work which could ul-timately benefit and influence thework of the wider academic com-munity at Stanford and elsewhere while the fee hikes and reduc-tions to financial aid limit the sizeof that community of scholars.

    scene on campus. As a result,we areexpanding this programming and,consequently,we are actively look-ing to partner with students whohave ideas and need support.

    Amid growing concerns thatstudents are engaging more oftenin unsafe drinking (drinking toblackout, vomiting, doing thingsyou later regret), we reviewed ouralcohol policy and found that it wasnot serving students or the campuscommunity well. After reframingthe policy, we now have a restatedStudent Alcohol Policy that out-

    lines expectations around alcoholfor students.Central to the policy isthe Universitys concern abouthigh-risk and reckless drinkingpractices, especially those that in-volve hard liquor. We know thathard liquor accounts for nearly 100percent of all emergency roomtransports for alcohol poisoning,making it the biggest risk factor in

    student alcohol-related problemsat Stanford.

    To combat this problem we areincreasing our educational and out-reach efforts. We need students toquestion and challenge situations

    that lead to dangerous drinking.Weknow that Stanford is a caring placewhere students are part of a dynam-ic community and get help for thosewho need it.These shared values arethe basis of the Cardinal Code, anaspirational mantra that encom-passes the Fundamental Stanfordand Honor Code. It is a way of lifeat Stanford centered on our civicresponsibility to prevent dangerousbehaviors and promote positive andhealthy norms.We are a strong com-munity that looks out for each otherand the Cardinal Code gives thisethos an identity and name.

    We are also pleased to have anew online resource that addressesalcohol at Stanford (http://alcohol.stanford.edu).This site contains theStudent Alcohol Policy and identi-fies resources and education efforts

    related to alcohol and drugs. Wehope that students will use the siteas a reference tool. Also, we arelaunching a training called SaySomething@Stanford to encourageand provide skills for students to in-

    tervene in potentially dangeroussituations. A campus-wide SaySomething@Stanford training willoccur on Monday, Nov. 28 at 8 p.m.in the Tresidder Oak Room and allstudents are invited to participate.

    I also invite all students to joinour effort to reduce reckless drink-ing and to take an active role in en-hancing the social scene on campus.To contribute to the dialogue onhigh-risk drinking, come to anASSU-sponsored forum on Tues-day, Nov. 29, at 9:30 p.m. at the D-school (Building 550).

    I look forward to talking with youin person and working together.

    rations to do it themselves.Admit-tedly, a few dozen members of the1 percent showed up at CapitolHill on Wednesday to represent thePatriotic Millionaires 200-plus wealthy U.S. citizens, includingmany current and ex-executives and ask for higher taxes.And somecorporate cultures do give backor go greenfor more than just theattendant publicity. But if we wantthe business of the American peo-

    ple to be, well, doing business, wehave to find ways to make sure thatbusiness is still doing the right thingfor us.

    Calvin Coolidge (whose speechstarted the whole business . . . isdoing business business) endedthat same speech with a reminderthat monetary wealth has neverbeen the true motivation of Ameri-cans.Rather, its been a means to arather idealistic end: a free societywith peaceful citizens and equal op-portunity. I think thats somethingevery one of todays politicianscould (claim to) get behind.

    So, motivated by an intuitivesense of fair play and armed withthe knowledge that money isnteverything,now is the time to take a

    knife to energy subsidies.Sure, fuelprices will go up (though probably asmall amount compared to the in-creases weve seen in the last fewyears), but our tax money will go

    further. And keep in mind, thereare tougher things on the Americanpocket like,say,paying for a coupleof wars.

    Its time to face the new reality:The age of cheap oil is ending, andenergy prices are already rising.Wecan face it now, or we can face itlater. Although Im a procrastina-tor in most things, this is a task Idrather handle immediately. Cuttingfossil fuel subsidies today helpslevel the playing field for alterna-tive energy sources, including re-newable ones like wind and solar.

    That means well be helping theseindustries develop before we needto rely on them entirely. And ifwere feeling particularly forward-looking, we might actually, at longlast, implement a carbon tax to ex-plicitly link environmental qualityto our economic system.

    Whether your goal is to slow therate of anthropogenic climatechange or to cut back on big gov-ernment, the first thing to do is toslap the meddlesome, biased handof oil subsidies. It is, however you

    look at it, the Right thing to do.Holly welcomes reader comments,critiques, questions and other budget-trimming, environment-saving ideasat [email protected].

    Fresh off a big win over Col-orado State at Maples Pavilion ear-lier this week, the Stanford mensbasketball team is back on thehardwood tonight, heading just upthe road to take on UC-Davis in anon-league game.

    The Cardinal (3-0) is riding highafter sweeping the first two games

    of the NIT Season Tip-Off.Tuesdaynights 64-52 win over the Ramsearned Stanford a trip to New YorkCity for next weeks semifinalround of the Tip-Off and a na-tionally televised game at Madison

    Square Garden on Wednesdayagainst Oklahoma State.

    Junior guard Gabriel Harrisgave the Card a boost against Col-orado State with a 60-foot halftimebuzzer-beater, and Stanford over-came an early deficit to pull awayin the second half thanks to thesame improved outside shootingthat gave it the victories againstCentral Arkansas and Fresno State

    to open the season.Although Stanford shot just 43

    percent for the game, the teamcashed in on several open jumpshots that last year never seemed todrop.

    Harris finished with 12 points,three back of redshirt senior for-ward Josh Owens for the teamhigh.And sophomore guard AaronBright continued his impressivestart to the season with 12 points,his third straight double-digit scor-ing night.

    It will be important for Stanfordnot to overlook the Aggies (1-3)after the emotional uplift of thewin over Colorado State. WhileDavis record hasnt been all thatimpressive in the early going, all

    three losses were very good games including a one-point loss toSouthern Utah and a game againstSan Diego State in which the Ag-gies held the Aztecs scoreless forthe opening three minutes.

    And if the Aggies Josh Ritchartheats up from the outside, watchout. Last years Big West Co-Fresh-man of the Year likes to line it upfrom behind the arc,and at 6-foot-9 he has the extension to shoot oversmaller guards.As a team, Davis isalso shooting 36 percent from be-hind the arc,with some good guard

    play on the whole.But they can still do some dam-

    age down low, if they have to. Har-rison Dupont made his seasondebut for the Aggs in their win overUC-Santa Cruz, scoring 15 pointswith five boards in just 15 minutes.Dupont was a McDonalds All-American in high school, but satout last season after transferringfrom the Citadel to play for Davis.

    It will be up to Owens, alongwith sophomores Dwight Powelland Josh Huestis, to neutralizeRitchart and the Aggies wing playwith their length and athleticism.Powell is coming off an anklesprain from last week,playing onlysparingly against the Rams, butHuestis has really shined as a forceon the glass.

    Freshman guard Chasson Ran-dle has also looked good early on,but Stanford is still searching forthe man to run the offense, asBright appears to be more of aspot-up shooter than a true distrib-

    Stanford mens basketball,golf teams sign five to national

    Mens basketball head coachJohnny Dawkins announced thesigning of three highly-touted re-cruits to National Letters of Intent

    on Thursday, the same day thatmens golf coach Conrad Ray an-nounced that two of his recruits alsohad signed letters of intent and willbe attending Stanford next fall.

    Dawkins signees include RoscoAllen,currently listed as the No.12-ranked small forward and No. 55overall player in ESPNUs 100 na-tional rankings; Christian Sanders,ESPNUs No. 26-ranked shootingguard; and Grant Verhoeven, cur-rently ranked No. 95 overall byESPNU.

    The 2012 class is being touted as

    one of Dawkins best overall, withESPN.com rating it as on the cuspof being in the nations top-25, andScout.com putting it at No. 25. Theplayers come from all over the coun-try, with Allen playing for BishopGorman High School in Las Vegas,Sanders for St.Thomas High Schoolin Houston and Verhoeven suitingup for Central Valley Christian.

    Rays incoming class has a bitmore of an international flavor, asDavid Boote hails from Epsom Col-lege in Surrey, England. The 2011National Junior Champion, Booteis joined in the class by DominickFrancks,currently of Olympia HighSchool in Washington.

    They will join an already deepCardinal squad,which features justone senior on its roster and is ex-pected to compete for Pac-12 andnational titles when the seasonkicks off in February.

    All-Academic honors

    Quarterback Andrew Luck andlinebacker Brent Etiz were namedto the Pac-12 Conference All-Acad-emic First Team on Thursday, lead-ing a list of 12 total players whoearned All-Academic Conferencehonors.

    All-American right guard DavidDeCastro and cornerback JohnsonBademosi both made the SecondTeam. And defensive end HenryAnderson, tight end Coby Fleen-

    der, long snapper Andrew Fowler,punter David Green,defensive endMatt Masifilo, linebacker ShayneSkov, wide receiver Griff Whalenand kicker Jordan Williamson allearned honorable mentions.

    It was a drop off from last year,when 19 players earned All-Acade-mic selections. But Luck, Fleener,DeCastro and Whalen were all re-peat honorees. In order to be eligi-ble for selection,the student-athletemust have a minimum 3.0 cumula-tive GPA and be either a starter orsignificant substitute, according tothe Pac-12.

    State, No.3 BYU,No. 4 Oklahomaand No. 5 Colorado.The Cowboys are two-time de-

    fending national champions onthe LaVern Gibson ChampionshipCourse and have five All-Ameri-cans, all of whom have been run-ning very well of late.But the Bad-gers are the top-ranked team rightnow, and with their performanceat the Great Lakes Regional the teams top-five runners allcrossed the finish line together towin the race handily all signspoint to a fierce fight on Monday

    morning.Stanford clearly has two of the

    top runners in the country in Der-rick and fellow senior Jake Riley,who finished sixth place individu-

    ally at last years NCAAs,one spotbehind Derrick.And redshirt sen-ior Brendan Gregg has found thetop-form that made him a danger-ous runner as a sophomore and

    junior, turning in some very fast

    times after recovering from an in-jury that kept him out all last sea-son.

    But the Cardinal needs more ifit wants to hang with the depththat some of the other teams bringto the table.

    In the Pac-12 Championships,the Buffs sneaked past the Cardby a mere three points thanks to abig gap between the fourth andfifth-place finishers for Stanford.

    Freshman Joe Rosa might bethe one fighting to keep the teamin the race as that fifth runner, as

    he turned in a very nice 19th-placeperformance at the Western Re-gionals. Or it could be sophomoreErik Olson, who finished in 12thplace at the Pac-12 meet, butslipped back a few spots at Re-gionals.

    Either way, the race is likely tobe one of the closest in years, andit will be very interesting to seewhat Derrick does in the battle forthe individual crown. Arizonafreshman Lawi Lalang has twicerun away from the field halfway

    through the Pac-12 and Regionalsmeets, and Derrick has come upshort trying to reel him in bothtimes while still trying to pick uphis teammates.

    If Lalang, who is the odds-onfavorite in the individual race,makes a similar move, or if Ionastandout Lenny Korir tries to sep-arate himself early, it will be inter-esting to see if Derrick tries to stay

    with them and pull out all thestops to try and win an individualtitle,or if he waits a little longer tohelp his teammates with a morestrategic race.

    A similar conflict might shapeup for Kroeger on the womensside. Stanford is unlikely to chal-lenge for the overall title,as Flori-da State, Vanderbilt and a coupleother programs appear to have toomuch depth for the Card to over-come this season.

    But Kroeger finished seventhat the Regionals in a comfortable

    race, and was second at the ultra-competitive Pac-12s. She andMarcy, who was seventh at theconference meet, will likely be upfront with the leaders, but therecould be some space going back tofreshman Aisling Cuffe and juniorClaire Durkin, who round outStanfords scorers.

    It will all shape up on race day,with the gun for the mens 10Kgoing off just after 11 a.m.PST,andthe women toeing the starting line

    just before 12 p.m. PST. Both races

    will be available to stream onlineat NCAA.com

    The last time the Cardinalwrestled the Chippewas, the out-come was not so positive. CentralMichigan destroyed Stanford,andwhile the Cardinal wrestlerswould love to repay the favor, thetask wont be easy.

    This is going to be a real goodtest for us, said Stanford headcoach Jason Borrelli. Both thoseteams are very well coached.Chattanooga always wrestles hardand will come out ready to wres-tle, and CMU is a top-fifteen

    Chattanooga is returning threewrestlers who have won theSouthern Conference champi-

    onship senior Brandon Wrightat 165 pounds,junior Josh Condonat 174 pounds and junior RobertPrigmore at 184 pounds. Thosewill be tough matches for redshirtfreshman Matt Schneider (1-3),

    redshirt senior NickAmuchastegui (5-0) and redshirt

    junior Spence Patrick (4-1).Central Michigans team is full

    of new faces with twenty-fourfreshmen on the Chippewas ros-ter. Despite its youth, the teamcannot be taken lightly. Senior133-pounder Scotti Sentes is a twotime All-American, as is 184-pounder Ben Bennett. Mean-whi le , t rue freshman NickHodgkins came into this season asthe nations top-ranked recruit at

    149 pounds and won the MichiganState Open earlier this season.Sentes should give junior RyanMango (5-0), No. 6 in the nation,his first true test of the season.And Hodgkins and Bennett will

    be tough matchups for redshirtjuniors Timmy Boone and SpencePatrick.

    An interesting twist to thisweekends matchup is that Stan-fords Jason Borrelli will be

    coaching not only against his almamater Central Michigan, but alsohis father Tom, a legend for whathe has done for the schoolswrestling program.After losing tohis dad a couple of years ago inSaginaw, Borrelli is definitelyfired up for this matchup.

The squad alsohad trouble finding the net despitecontrolling play in the season fi-nale against Cal, a 2-0 win that sawthe Cardinal score both of its goalsin a 40-second span.

    Stanford hasnt played twomatches on a weekend since lateOctober, and if the team wants to

    continue into the fourth round ofthe postseason or even make itto the third-round game this Sun-day, for that matter it will needto look sharper against thetougher competition it will in-evitably face.

The Gamecocks tight style ofsoccer has held opponents to just16 goals on the season, and al-though South Carolina might notput up flashy offensive numbers,i tdoes sport senior forward KaylaGrimsley the only current Divi-sion-I player with more than 40goals and 30 assists on her career.

    Oliver may have faced some ofthe countrys best offenses in Pac-12 play,but as the tournament pro-

    gresses shes going to have to dealwith even more powerful attacks.And though Oliver has the bestgoals-against average in the coun-try (0.24), the defensive battle isnot a one-woman effort.

    Our back line is awesome,ourmidfielders are great and defend-ing starts with the forwards, Oliv-

    er said. Having everyone in frontof me just gives me confidence,andI think weve prepared all season[for the tournament].

    Offensively, the Cardinal needsto receive continued contributions

    from Taylor, who has scored 10goals over the past eight gamesand was named Pac-12 Player ofthe Year. While 13 other Stanfordplayers have gotten on the boardthis season, none has scored morethan half as many goals as the starsenior, whose six game-winningtallies also lead the team.

    After they lost in the CollegeCup Final in devastating fashiontwo years in a row and thenbounced back and carry the squadduring the second half of the con-

    ference season in 2011, expectStanfords quartet of seniors to setthe tone this weekend.

    Theyre all great leaders, andthey want to get back to that cham-pionship game and correct things,win that national title, Ratcliffesaid.Theres no doubt in my mindthat theyre inspired and want towin the whole thing.

    Should the Cardinal advancepast the Gamecocks,it will face thewinner of the Friday-afternoonmatch between Boston College(12-5-2, 6-4-0 ACC) and Cal (12-6-

    3, 5-4-2 Pac-12). A Cal-Stanfordshowdown in the wake of BigGame weekend would surely be yetanother heated chapter in this in-tense rivalry.

    That would be interesting . . .but regardless of who we play, Ithink well be ready to go, Oliversaid. If its Cal, great, and if itsBoston College, great. But wevegot to make it there first.

    That quest begins tonight at 7p.m. at Cagan Stadium, with theCardinal still riding an 84-match

    unbeaten streak when scoring atleast one goal and a 47-match winstreak overall. The winners oftonights two games will then meeton Sunday at 1 p.m. in search of anappearance in the quarterfinals.

    BLOWOUT

    8N Friday, November 18, 2011 The Stanford Daily

    to less than 200 yards a game through the air

    while Stanford keeps opponents under 95yards rushing per game. Additionally, Calhas held its last two opponents to a com-bined 13 points, while Stanford gave up 53last Saturday.

    Even though the Cardinal defenderswerent so impressive last weekend againstthe Ducks, defensive coordinator DerekMason said that Stanford wont change itsstripes after one poor performance.

    We dont second guess, we dont micro-manage, we just say that we learned a lotfrom this football game, lets make sure wecan correct the issues that need to be cor-rected,and lets adjust it, because thats lastweek,he said.

    If Stanford hopes to crack the Cal de-fense, it will likely lean heavily on the rungame in order to take advantage of theweaker aspect of the Bear defense and tryto establish some rhythm for quarterbackAndrew Luck.

    Junior running back Stepfan Taylor tal-lied 87 yards in the first half before the Car-dinal was forced to abandon the runninggame,while Luck accounted for three cost-ly turnovers last weekend due to a hawkingOregon defense that challenged the Stan-ford offensive line on every down.

    Senior guard David DeCastro said thatLucks protectors had to improve before theball was snapped this week if they wanted tokeep their superstars jersey clean.

    I think just communicating; thats keyto offensive line play, always being on thesame page.When that doesnt happen,An-drews getting hit, he said.

    When Luck does turn to the air, he willlikely be looking to find senior receiver GriffWhalen,who has quietly become the passersfavorite target over the last month. Whalennow leads the team with 45 catches for 641yards and four touchdowns, with 36 of thosecatches and 540 yards coming in the last sixgames.Whalens sudden rise to the ace of thereceiving corps has been particularly impor-tant,as senior receiver Chris Owusu and jun-ior tight end Zach Ertz are both once againunlikely to play this Saturday.

    The Bear offense will counter by lookingto sophomore wide receiver Keenan Allen,who rivals USC wide receiver RobertWoods for the top spot in every receivingcategory in the Pac-12.Allen is second in re-ceptions per game in the conference andthird in receiving yards per game,as well as10th in all-purpose yards.

    The North Carolina native has 1,103

    yards receiving and five touchdowns on theyear, although he has been particularlyquiet lately Allen has failed to go over

    the 100-yard mark in his last four games.We know weve got to stop him in order

    to stop their offense,Tarpley said of Allensimportance to the Bear attack.

    Of course, any matchup between Stan-ford and Cal includes an element of the un-predictable one of the countrys oldestrivalries has certainly seen its share of un-usual upsets and wild finishes over the past114 years.

    The Bears have been the superior com-petitors in the last decades Big Games,going 7-2 since 2002, including a 1-1 recordagainst Luck. In his two starts against theBears, Luck tossed a crushing last-minuteinterception to fall 34-28 at home in 2009,then got his revenge with a 48-14 thrashingin Berkeley that included a highlight-reel,58-yard run in which Luck trucked over

    Cattouse in the open field.Even though Oregon and USC eclipseCal in terms of national prominence this

    season,the Stanford players say the Trojansand Ducks havent pushed the Bears to theback-burner of conference rivals.

    I would see how people would say that,but I dont think it has been at all, theresstill just that extra excitement, that juice forthe Big Game, you know, you walk on thecampus and you see Beat Cal hangingfrom the library, Tarpley said. Obviouslypeople might not think of them as highly asUSC or Oregon, but theyre coming in hereexcited and playing their best ball, andwere going to need to do the same thing ifwere going to come out here and get thewin.

    Stanford and Cal will rekindle the rival-ry tomorrow night at 7:15 p.m. in the 114thedition of the Big Game. Television cover-age will be on ESPN.
