A tale of two fortunes
holiday break sees Cardinals break even, Lady Cards struggle
Brian van Staveren
UP sports writer
While everyone else enjoyed a long holiday
break for Christmas and the New Year, the
Lamar University men’s and women’s basket-
ball teams endured grueling schedules.
The Cardinals concluded their holiday
schedule on Jan. 11 when they returned to the
Montagne Center to play host to South
Alabama. Ron Coleman scored a team high
23 points, but LU was dominated on the
boards by USA and their fiery offensive out-
put. Four South Alabama players scored in
double digits, as the Cards went down 84-62.
The men tipped off the holiday season with
a home game against rival McNeese State in
front of 2,434 Cardinal fans. Although Quincy
Alexander chipped in 23 points, the Cardinals
suffered a 71-61 loss with only one other
Cardinal enjoying a double-digit point output.
Four days later, however, the men
rebounded with a huge win against Mary
Hardin-Baylor in the Montagne Center. Five
Qards scored in double digits as LU enjoyed
its most lopsided win in school history by
pounding the opposition 117-42.
* There was no time to revel in the glory of
victory. The men faced a tough Southwest
Texas team on Dec. 21. Ron Coleman
answered many questions about his abilities
by pumping in 28 points to put Southwest
away 73-67. After winning two in a row,
Lamar had the right amount of momentum to
begin Sun Belt Conference play after
Christmas.
The University of Arkansas-Little Rock
was LU’s first conference foe of the year as
the two teams faced each other on Dec. 28.
Always strong at home, UALR put Lamar
down 89-76 to give the Cardinals a Sun Belt
opening loss.
The Cards proved that each game is played
one at a time by returning home Jan. 2 to face
perennial Sun Belt powerhouse Western
Kentucky in front of 5,089 screaming Cardinal
faithful. Ron Coleman and Ronald Nunnery
led the charge with 25 and 24 ooints respec-
tively as LU dominated WKU 98-80. The win
put Lamar at 6-4 overall and 1-1 in conference
play.
The Cardinals continued their Sun Belt
charge in the Montagne Center on Jan. 4, tak-
ing on Louisiana Tech. Once again, Lamar
came out on top, as did Ronald Nunnery,
chiming in 22 points in a 75-64 win.
Lamar’s road woes continued when they
traveled to the University of Southwest
Louisiana to take on the Ragin’ Cajuns in the
intimidating Cajundc’n? in Lafayette. Even
with four Cards scoring- in double digits, the
men couldn’t find a'way to win. USL took the
contest 86-78.
The CardinJ’s\took on Western Kentucky
on the road Thursday. Results were unavail-
able at press time.

UP sports writer
While the men enjoyed limited success
over the holidays, the Lamar University Lady
Cardinal women’s basketball team struggled
the entire way. Overall, the Lady Cards are
now 4-10 (1-3 Sun Belt) after a rough holiday
season. The women came up with wins
against only Houston and Southwestern
Louisiana.
Two Lady Cards are averaging double dig-
its in scoring, with Denise Scally putting in
16.1 per game and Debbie Cooper adding 11.3
per contest. Scally and Cooper also lead the
Lady Cardinals in rebounding with a com-
bined 14.3 average so far this season.
The Lady Cards most recently lost to
undefeated Louisiana State University on
the road in a 86-57 thrashing. The Lady
Tigers shot 53 percent from the field. LU
managed to shoot 31 percent. Denise Scally
scored a game high 23 points but couldn’t
overcome four Lady Tigers in double figures
on the night. Two LSU players also chipped
in double doubles in the game. Latasha
Dorsey scored 12 points and grabbed 11
rebounds, and Keia Howell scored 11 points
and matched that output with 11 rebounds of
her own.
The Lady Cardinals’ next opponent is Sun
Belt foe Arkansas State on Jan. 18 in the
Montagne Center at 4:30 p.m.

The Cards paid a visit to Buckner Children’s Village in Beaumont
on Jan. 7 to sign autographs and meet some of their biggest fans.

5 EASY WAYS TO REDUCE
FAT IN YOUR DIET
at has gotten a lot of bad publicity lately. Several studies
have shown that populations that have a high consumption of fat have
a greater incidence of several diseases including heart disease, and
certain cancers such as chose involving the breast, prostate and colon.
According to Katharine K. Grunewald, registered dietitian and
assistant professor of nutrition at Kansas State University, this has led
many health authorities to recommend a reduction of fat in our diets.
How can you realistically cut down on the amount of fat that you are
eating? First of all, you can’t always tell how much fat is in a food
merely by looking at it. True, some fat you can see, such as butter, lard,
shortening, oil or the fat in a cut of meat. But other fat is “invisible,”
such as that in pastries, whole milk, nuts and many fried foods.
What are some practical changes to be followed for reducing fat
intake? They are as follows:
1 Reduce visible fat. This means restricting the amount of butter,
shortening, mayonnaise and peanut butter added to foods. It also means
reducing consumption of gravies, sauces and creamed foods.
2 Select leaner cuts of meat, and trim off excess fat. To prepare
meat: boil, broil or bake. Don’t fry.
3 Substitute low-fat or skim milk for whole milk.
Purchase low-fat yogurt and low-fat cheese.
4 Reduce fat in recipes. Often fat used in recipes
can be cut in half for breads, cakes, etc. This is especially
true for foods that are naturally moist such as fruit
breads.
5 Watch the "fast foods." The larger burgers and
fried chicken usually have over half of their calories in
fat. French fries and hot dogs are also high in fat.
Here’s an added bonus. If you reduce your fat
intake, you will also be reducing your calories. Fat has
more than twice the calories by weight than protein or
carbohydrates.
This article is not intended to give medical advice
which should be obtained directly from your doctor.
