NOTES: A week after losing to Oregon in one of
the biggest games in Stanford history, the No. 9
Cardinal must bounce back in a hurry with
California in town for the 114th Big Game. The

regain his footing in the race for the Heisman
Trophy with a big game of his own.
TOUGH ROAD
LIES AHEAD
By JOSEPH BEYDA
DESK EDITOR
When this weekend is all
said and done, the Stanford
womens soccer team will be
embarking on either the sec-
ond half of its potential NCAA
Championship run or the very
beginnings of yet another dis-
appointing offseason. It takes
six postseason victories to take
home the College Cup, and the
No. 1 Cardinal (20-0-1, 11-0-0
Pac-12) can notch wins number
two and three at home on Fri-
day and Sunday, respectively.
Stanford has reached the
NCAA Final Four every year
since 2007, but the squad cant
take the early rounds for grant-
ed.
There are a lot of strong
opponents out there, so weve
got to perform at our highest
level, said head coach Paul
Ratcliffe. Thats basically the
key. Weve got to play well and
then execute in the final third.
The Cardinal should be at
least moderately concerned in
the latter regard going into
tonights match against South
Carolina (16-6-0, 9-2-0 SEC).
Despite pounding outmatched
Montana (6-12-4) with 13 shots
on goal in the first round of the
postseason last Friday, Stan-
ford was only able to get on the
board three times in a game

If the No. 9 Cardinal (9-1, 7-1 Pac-12)
hopes to avoid being upset by the suddenly
streaking Bears (6-4, 3-4), it will need to im-
prove on, well, everything from last week.
The Cardinal had a season-high five
turnovers, gave up a season-high five sacks
and 53 points, scored a season-low 30
points and had a season-low 129 rushing
yards.
We really didnt come up with much
good things about that game, redshirt
freshman linebacker A.J. Tarpley dead-
panned, but he said that the tough loss had-
nt sent the Cardinal fully back to the draw-
ing board.
I wouldnt say its like a reset for our
season, I kind of feel like we reset our men-
tality every week, he said. Its the same
when we try not to hang on the highs of the
wins too long. The USC game, for example,
we kind of reset. Yeah, its a great win; we
got to enjoy it. But Sunday and Monday
youre preparing for the next game, prepar-
ing for Oregon State.
But if Stanford wants to bounce back in
emphatic fashion and take back-to-back
games from the Bears for the first time in a
decade, it might have to fight out a defen-
sive struggle for the first time all season.
Led by seniors Mychal Kendricks (75
tackles), D.J. Holt (71 tackles) and Sean
Cattouse (54 tackles), the Cal defense is
ranked first in the Pac-12 in total defense,
giving up only 319.1 yards per game the
only team with a better defensive mark
than the Cardinal in the conference.
That said, the two defenses dont exact-
ly do things the same way. Cal holds passers

Two Stanford researchers have
found a way to use E. coli to pro-
duce biodiesel fuel. Xingye Yu, a
Ph.D. candidate, and Tiangang Liu,
a post-doctoral student, recently
used E. coli to model fatty acid syn-
thesis in vitro, yielding fatty acid de-
rivatives that can be converted into
biodiesel.
These findings reinforce our
earlier conclusion that, among
these metabolites, only the intracel-
lular concentration of malonyl-
CoA is likely to be an attractive tar-
get for further engineering, if the
goal is to improve fatty acid yield
and/or productivity,Yu wrote in an
email to The Daily.
There is a scene in Back to the
Future II when Doc Brown reach-
es into Martys garbage can, pulls
out a few banana peels and uses
them to power his automobile-
based time machine. This type of
technology is not science fiction
anymore.
The team discovered that E.
colis cellular machinery is useable
at points before and after a particu-
lar section of the assembly line. In
particular, it could harness a partic-
ular type of plant biomass called
lignocellulosic raw materials at
an earlier point in the reaction to in-
crease cost-effectiveness and create
a better biodiesel alternative.
The good news is that the en-
gine that makes fatty acids in E. coli
is incredibly powerful, said Chai-
tan Khosla, a professor of chemistry
and biochemistry, in an interview
with the Stanford Report. The bad
news is this engine is subject to
some very tight controls by the
cell.
The fatty acids that the E. coli
creates cannot be directly pumped
into a cars gas tank, however they
are a precursor to biodiesel fuel.

Quiz Bowl features
IBMs Watson
By MARGARET RAWSON
MANAGING EDITOR
The Stanford and UC-Berkeley Quiz Bowl teams
matched wits Thursday evening against each other and a
formidable 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 Martinez
07, J.D. 13, Benji Nguyen 15 and Bill Rowan, a comput-
er science graduate student.
My assumption is that Watson will beat us, Rowan
said before the competition. According to Rowan, the
student 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. Its
the future of the human race.
The game, moderated by Todd Crain who has
moderated more than 100 matches between Watson and
humans was preceded by a presentation by Eric
Brown, an IBM research scientist.
Its not about the game, Brown said of the long-
term goals following Watsons early success. Its about
the technology and what were going to do with it.

The ASSU has launched a new
peer-to-peer advocacy program in-
tended to connect students with
members of the ASSU who can help
solve problems students have with
the University.
According to its founder, Senator
Dan DeLong 13, the program fills a
gap in the current responsibilities of
the ASSU by providing constituent
services.
If you look at elected officials at a
local level, a state level and even at
the national level, a large part of their
responsibility is to provide con-
stituent services,DeLong said.
These services can include advo-
cating on behalf of students with ad-
ministrators and trying to solve their
problems.
The idea for this program came to
DeLong during his senate campaign.
During that process, multiple stu-
dents requested help settling small fi-
nancial disputes with the University,
mostly related to billing and fees. De-
Long was able to help them by email-
ing these administrators on the stu-
dents behalf.
I dont think students are aware
[they] can come to ASSU representa-
tives in the Exec or the Senate to help
get their Stanford-related issues re-
solved,DeLong said.
After acquiring $70 in funding
from the Undergraduate Senates
discretionary fund, business cards
with a phone number and email ad-
dress were printed and handed out to
senators at Tuesdays Senate meeting.
Right now the ASSU does an in-
credibly poor job of reaching out to
students, DeLong said, adding that
he hopes that by partnering with the
ASSU Executive, students will take
advantage of this program.
The programs aspirations are
strikingly similar to those of The Stan-
ford Ombuds, which also seeks to
help students, as well as faculty and
administrators, solve conflicts on
campus. However DeLong says this
program will not be a mediation serv-
ice like The Ombuds.
This is what I call a facilitation
service, DeLong said. Students will
feel more comfortable coming to a
peer for help and advice than going to
someone they see as another member
of University staff.
DeLong concedes that senators
have no real experience in these is-
sues. However, he says that members
of the ASSU can learn on the job and
use their network of administrative
contacts to help students.
Like The Ombuds, this program is
intended to be confidential, protect-
ing students information. However
the ASSU has strict policies regard-
ing confidentiality, which could make
this aspect of the program difficult to
carry out.
One potential solution to the
problem would be passing a bill label-
ing all information in this program,
proprietary business information
and thus removing it from the scope
of the Freedom of Information Act;
however, this approach was aban-
doned.
Instead, the names of the students
and the representatives who received
their call will be available for anyone
who requests the information, but
their conversations will be private.
The program will only initially be
accessible via DeLong,ASSU Execu-
tive President Michael Cruz 12 and
Vice President Stewart Macgregor-
Dennis 13, Senate Chair Rafael
Vazquez 12, Senate Deputy Chair
Dan Ashton 14 and Senator Brianna
Pang 13 of the Advocacy committee.
The number of people with access
may expand as more senators express
interest. However DeLong said he
only wants active participants to have
access to the account.
Emails inquiring about the pro-
gram can be sent to help@assu.stan-
ford.edu, and calls or texts to 650-468-
0195.

Stanford researchers
improve nanotube
technology
By THE DAILY NEWS STAFF
Stanford researchers have found
an effective way to sort carbon nan-
otubes, making progress towards
flexible or printable electronics.
When carbon nanotubes are cre-
ated, both semi-conducting and con-
ducting tubes are mixed together.
Conducting tubes are used in wires
and electrodes. Semiconducting
tubes are more adept in things like
solar technologies; however, the
combination of the two makes it dif-
ficult to utilize them for both purpos-
es. For example, using the mixture in
electronics often causes shortages
and has stymied advances in nan-
otube technology.
Zhenan Bao, Stanford associate
professor of chemical engineering,
worked with professors at Universi-
ty of California-Davis and the Sam-
sung Advanced Institute of Technol-
ogy (SAIT) and has discovered a
way to separate the mixture and pull
out the conducting and semi-con-
ducting tubes individually.
Sorting has been a major bottle-
neck for carbon nanotubes to be vi-
able for practical electronics applica-
tions, Bao said in an interview with
the Stanford Report. This work
solves the problem of separating the
conducting from the semi-conduct-
ing nanotubes.
Bao added a polymer to the mix-
ture that only attaches itself to the
semi-conducting nanotubes, allow-
ing commercially available packages
of mixed carbon nanotubes to be
separated effectively.
This is not the first polymer that is
able to sort the semi-conducting and
conducting nanotubes; however,
previous polymers have had to be re-
moved before the nanotubes could
be conductive again. Baos polymer
doesnt need to be removed and
doesnt decrease the nanotubes
conductivity.
It merges two very important
materials together and makes a hy-
brid material that could be very use-
ful for printed and flexible electron-
ics,Bao said.
Funding for the study came from
the SAIT and the National Science
Foundation.

cle near the intersection of Es-
tudillo Road and Mayfield Av-
enue between 7:20 a.m. and 1 p.m.
The estimated value of the mirror
is $500.
IAt 3:30 p.m., a male was cited and
released at Stanford Stadium on
sembly lines, and thus, Yu says
speeding up production at a partic-
ular point can impact the entire re-
action rate.
Additional research efforts are
also warranted upstream and
downstream of these biofuel syn-
thesizing steps,Yu said.
Production cost, efficiency and
sustainability are the main con-
cerns when producing biodiesel. Yu
and her labs research point to E.
coli as a promising factory of
biodiesel production. They note
that E. colis natural rate of conver-
sion is not commercially viable.
However, the researchers hope to
improve this by changing its inter-
nal machinery and boosting its con-
version capabilities.
According to Yu, researchers
must also consider the product
yield from a specific amount of re-
actant. She noted that researchers
should seek to reach the theoretical
maximal 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, Yu
said, later adding, We aim to in-
crease the yield as high as possible
while keeping the process econom-
ically sound.
This process is also more sus-
tainable than biodiesel production
due to a range of factors.
There will be no competition
with food production, no
seasonal/geographical variation of
raw material supplies and no de-
pendence on petrochemicals, Yu
said. E. coli grows fast and is quite
amenable to genetic manipula-
tion.
Yu and Lius biofuel research is
currently funded by LS9, Inc., a San
Francisco-based biotech startup
that seeks to use synthetic materials
to provide sustainable products.

New York Times questioning
whether Williams was a Rhodes
Scholar candidate, as he said on his
resume.
Williams, who was a starting line-
backer and team captain his senior
year when the Cardinal finished No.
9 in the national polls, also spent
three years as an assistant coach at
Stanford from 2002 to 2004.
The controversy began when
Yale quarterback Patrick Witt was
nominated for the scholarship. An
interview for the scholarship fell on
the same day as the Yale versus Har-
vard game, and Witt sought advice
from Williams who said he faced a
similar situation at Stanford. Witt
eventually decided to stay and play
the game.
However following a question by
The New York Times, the Rhodes
Trust said they had no record of
Williams ever applying. The Rhodes
Trust said it keeps records for people
even if they end up withdrawing
their application.
Williams maintains Stanford did
endorse him, however he did not ad-
vance as far as Witt, claiming the in-
terview was informal. John Pearson
of Stanfords Bechtel International
Center, which is in charge of advis-
ing students about the Rhodes
Scholarship on campus, declined to
give information to The New York
Times.
We feel that we cannot provide
information that pertains to the
record of someone who was a Stan-
ford student unless we received per-
mission from that student, Pearson
told The New York Times.
Pearson said he has never
claimed to be a Rhodes finalist, and
wasnt surprised that the Rhodes
Trust had no record of him because
he didnt ever formally apply after
receiving a nomination from a facul-
ty member. Numerous articles over
the past few weeks have listed him
as a Rhodes scholar finalist, and a
Yale alumni magazine in 2009 also
says that Pearson was a finalist.

urkey Day is coming, and with
it, the deadline for Obamas
12-member Super Commit-
tee, a group of Congress members
tasked with carving $1.2 trillion off
our national debt.
If the bipartisan group can even
reach a deal (so far, theyve missed
their own deadline by at least 10
days, flatly refused each others pro-
posals and been awfully closed-
lipped about possible compromis-
es), it seems like everyones going to
feel the pinch.
Everyone, that is, who cant buy
his or her way out of it.
Last week, the American Petro-
leum Institute the notorious
Big Oil lobby representing
Chevron, Exxon Mobil, Shell and
others started running ads
thanking Republican super com-
mittee members for preserving in-
dustry-specific tax breaks worth $40
billion over the next 10 years.
Yes, $40 billion is only a few per-
centage points of the committees
target. (Though its still two-and-a-
half times the size of Stanfords en-
dowment, the biggest sum of money
that most of us are likely to claim af-
filiation with in our lifetimes.)
But the idea that an industry that
earned $24 billion in profits last
quarter alone cant pony up its right-
ful taxes in a time of financial crisis
. . . Well, its no wonder that those of
us whove checked the facts are
rolling our eyes in dismay at the soft
spines of the super committee.
Then again, the oil companies
arent picking up my campaign tab.
Nor are they running ads in my dis-
trict, calling subsidy cuts job-de-
stroying energy taxes.The threat is
implicit: Big Oil has money, Big Oil
helped you get your Washington
D.C. seat and Big Oil can take it
away.
What a world of difference a po-
litical system can make. Somewhere
across the Pacific Ocean, a certain
rising nation is maneuvering its
state-owned industries to national
advantage. No muss, no fuss, no
worries about making profits.
Last month, the New York

plant manager that summed it up
perfectly: Someone has to lose
money. Were a state-owned cor-

and to the environment. Thats
where government, if it has a deft

OPINIONS
SEEING GREEN
Doing the right thing
B
efore we arrived here, we all
heard the obligatory generali-
ties about college. The stories
are even more enthusiastic when it
comes to Stanford grads. It was in-
sane. I did so much. I learned so
much. I met so many great people.
Ill never forget this one time . . .
While Stanford and your fresh-
man dorm will try to make you en-
mesh yourself in the life of our cam-
pus, it is easy to withdraw from so-
cial life and sleepwalk toward a de-
gree. While it is true of high school
that you will have a certain number
of formative experiences whether
you try or not, Stanford gives us the
freedom not to have a college expe-
rience. Only here could it be easier
to lock yourself up and study than
to give into temptation and party
the quarters away (simply because
of how centralized the social scene
is.) Stanford loads on enough work
to consume most of your waking
hours as you labor away, and many
do. Many consider that option to be
the most filial thing to do. A high
GPA means that your parents wish
for you to be successful in school
and beyond is satisfied. That is true,
but only in a limited way, and few
would think so narrowly. It is tempt-
ing to deny the endeavors that will
never make it onto a resume their
due value, but performing them is
what makes college more valuable
than a mere degree.
As tempting and expected as it
may be, you should never let your
schooling get in the way of your ed-
ucation. Your happiness and the
breadth of your learning are priori-
ties that cant be set aside in the
name of success, or else the fullness
of your experience and self will be
sacrificed.
We should not be trying only to
succeed academically in the long
term and excel professionally in the
short term. There are far more im-
portant things to seek than being
better adjusted to work and manag-
ing a GPA. Colleges greatest im-
pact is not in the classroom.The cul-
tivation Stanford offers here only
begins in the classroom. Denying
yourself nights and days of leisure
means denying yourself important
self-cultivation. Classes can be
taken and retaken later in life at
community colleges. Lectures can
be heard on YouTube and lessons
read from textbooks. It is the fusion
of academic and social life and the
communal experience of develop-
ing maturity that makes the college
experience. No one comes here
fully set in his or her ways. It is the
chance to share the experience of
deciding what is important to us and
will shape our lives; this provides
the education that is truly unique to
the college environment.
Your schooling can do all this,
too, but only when we take an inter-
est in it beyond its career utility. I al-
ways surprised myself by how little
I can learn in a class if I am not in-
terested. There have been college
classes that I took with such apathy

Beat Cal, but not
with batons
I
n a week that usually involves
plenty of rivalry, from Big Sing
to Gaieties to the various Band
rallies and, of course, Big Game, we
would like to take a moment to
urge Stanford students to stand in
solidarity with Cal students in
recognition of some of their recent
struggles.
Many students will have seen
the videos of police action against
non-violent protesters in Sproul
Plaza on Nov. 9, 2011. The students
were members of the Occupy
Calmovement, one of many simi-
lar movements across the country,
but with a more explicit focus on is-
sues facing UC-Berkeley and the
UC system. These concerns in-
clude the significant fee hikes of
the past few years as well as the
issue of layoffs and reduced bene-
fits for unionized Cal workers,
among others. The students chose
to protest in Sproul Plaza, holding
rallies but also setting up a
makeshift camp to maintain a
round-the-clock presence in keep-
ing with the spirit of the Occupy
movement. The University
deemed this encampment illegal
and sent in police to dismantle the
encampment. Protestors met the
police and formed a human chain
around the tents in the tradition of
civil disobedience and nonviolent
protest. The polices use of batons
to forcibly break through the chain
was the subject of the video that
soon went viral.
We recognize that the adminis-
tration and polices decision to dis-
mantle the encampment on Nov. 9
and again on Nov. 17 was not a ma-
licious one. Indeed, many of the
concerns that Chancellor Robert
Birgeneau raised regarding the
hygiene, safety, space and conflict
issues are valid. Any police force,
be it the one at Cal or the New
York City Policy Department,
must make a decision regarding
the best use of its resources, and
monitoring a protest encampment
may well detract from secure polic-
ing elsewhere in the community.
What is unacceptable, however,
was the polices use of violence in
the face of civil disobedience. In
that situation, the appropriate re-
sponse is citation and/or arrest in
accordance with the Universitys
regulations. Indeed, this is what the
police did on Nov. 17, issuing cita-
tions for illegal lodging and failure
to disperse when given a dispersal
order.
Ultimately, the UC-Berkeley
Police Review Board will assess
last weeks actions by the UCPD. It
is telling, however, that the recom-
mendations made by the Police
Review Board in June 2010 in the
wake of the 2009 Wheeler Hall
protests have still not been fully
implemented. 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 to
protest peaceably.
The issues of disinvestment in
higher education are not unique to
Cal, of course, and not even to the
UC system. To this end, we ap-
plaud those Cal students voicing
their concerns, both on campus
and in Sacramento, where a num-
ber of students and faculty went to
lobby legislators and hold a press
conference on the issue of disin-
vestment in higher education in
the state. While Stanford is fortu-
nate that it has benefited from con-
siderable recent investment and
has not faced cuts in education or
programming of the type that the
UC system has undergone, Cals
concerns are, fundamentally, Stan-
fords concerns. Reduced funding
for public higher education means
that Stanford students peers in the
UC system may not have the re-
sources or opportunities to further
their work work which could ul-
timately benefit and influence the
work of the wider academic com-
munity at Stanford and elsewhere
while the fee hikes and reduc-
tions to financial aid limit the size
of that community of scholars.
As Big Game Week comes to a
close, there is no doubt that Stan-
ford students want, and expect, the
Cardinal to prevail on the football
field. Off the field though, what
unites us is far greater than what di-
vides us.Both in response to the po-
lice actions against protesters on
Nov. 9 and with regard to some of
the core complaints of those pro-
testers regarding the state of public
higher education in California, we
urge Stanford students to recog-
nize and support the efforts of their
colleagues at Cal to stand up to the
threats facing their education.

Showing school spirit
with safety, respect
Dear Editor:
On Nov. 19, 2011, Stanford and
Cal will square off in the 114th an-
nual Big Game at Stanford Stadi-
um, an event that has been a Bay
Area tradition. Our two universities
share a strong football and academ-
ic heritage, as well as a spirited and
storied rivalry.
It is important that the tradition-
al goal of the Big Game be rein-
forced this year: a spirited competi-
tion on the field and an enjoyable
experience for those in the stands.
Unfortunately, in past years, the
spirit of the Big Game has been
dampened by the irresponsible be-
havior of some that resulted in fra-
cas and property damage.
We again ask this year that you
refrain from engaging in pranks
and other activities that may draw
law enforcement and security per-
sonnel and resources away from re-
sponding to more pressing matters.
We feel that those attending the Big
Game should not have to fear for
their safety; therefore, we must em-
phasize that fans who engage in in-
cidents of field trespass, physical as-
sault and/or property damage will
be ejected from the stadium. Stu-
dents found responsible for these
types of activities will face discipli-
nary action at their respective insti-
tutions; such action may include
suspension or dismissal.
Please respect more than a cen-
tury of Big Game tradition and cel-
ebrate your school spirit, pride and
sportsmanship in a safe, positive
and friendly manner. Enjoy the
game!
With warm regards,
ROBERT J. BIRGENEAU

Reducing reckless
drinking as a community
Dear students,
On Nov. 10, The Daily featured a
front page article describing Cardi-
nal Nights, an initiative focused on
bringing new social programming
to campus (OAPE offers alterna-
tive social scene, Nov. 10). Spon-
sored by the Office of Alcohol Poli-
cy and Education (OAPE), Cardi-
nal Nights gives students attractive
alternatives to events focused on al-
cohol which is something students
say has been missing from the social
Please see LETTERS, page 5

The Stanford Daily Friday, November 18, 2011 N5
scene on campus. As a result, we are
expanding this programming and,
consequently, we are actively look-
ing to partner with students who
have ideas and need support.
Amid growing concerns that
students are engaging more often
in unsafe drinking (drinking to
blackout, vomiting, doing things
you later regret), we reviewed our
alcohol policy and found that it was
not serving students or the campus
community well. After reframing
the policy, we now have a restated
Student Alcohol Policy that out-
lines expectations around alcohol
for students. Central to the policy is
the Universitys concern about
high-risk and reckless drinking
practices, especially those that in-
volve hard liquor. We know that
hard liquor accounts for nearly 100
percent of all emergency room
transports for alcohol poisoning,
making it the biggest risk factor in
student alcohol-related problems
at Stanford.
To combat this problem we are
increasing our educational and out-
reach efforts. We need students to
question and challenge situations
that lead to dangerous drinking. We
know that Stanford is a caring place
where students are part of a dynam-
ic community and get help for those
who need it.These shared values are
the basis of the Cardinal Code, an
aspirational mantra that encom-
passes the Fundamental Stanford
and Honor Code. It is a way of life
at Stanford centered on our civic
responsibility to prevent dangerous
behaviors and promote positive and
healthy norms.We are a strong com-
munity that looks out for each other
and the Cardinal Code gives this
ethos an identity and name.
We are also pleased to have a
new online resource that addresses
alcohol at Stanford (http://alcohol.
stanford.edu). This site contains the
Student Alcohol Policy and identi-
fies resources and education efforts
related to alcohol and drugs. We
hope that students will use the site
as a reference tool. Also, we are
launching a training called Say
Something@Stanford to encourage
and provide skills for students to in-
tervene in potentially dangerous
situations. A campus-wide Say
Something@Stanford training will
occur on Monday, Nov. 28 at 8 p.m.
in the Tresidder Oak Room and all
students are invited to participate.
I also invite all students to join
our 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 on
high-risk drinking, come to an
ASSU-sponsored forum on Tues-
day, Nov. 29, at 9:30 p.m. at the D-
school (Building 550).
I look forward to talking with you
in person and working together.

tions, and so on.
We certainly cant rely on corpo-
rations to do it themselves. Admit-
tedly, a few dozen members of the
1 percent showed up at Capitol
Hill on Wednesday to represent the
Patriotic Millionaires 200-
plus wealthy U.S. citizens, including
many current and ex-executives
and ask for higher taxes. And some
corporate cultures do give back
or go greenfor more than just the
attendant publicity. But if we want
the business of the American peo-
ple to be, well, doing business, we
have to find ways to make sure that
business is still doing the right thing
for us.
Calvin Coolidge (whose speech
started the whole business . . . is
doing business business) ended
that same speech with a reminder
that monetary wealth has never
been the true motivation of Ameri-
cans. Rather, its been a means to a
rather idealistic end: a free society
with peaceful citizens and equal op-
portunity. I think thats something
every one of todays politicians
could (claim to) get behind.
So, motivated by an intuitive
sense of fair play and armed with
the knowledge that money isnt
everything, now is the time to take a
knife to energy subsidies. Sure, fuel
prices will go up (though probably a
small amount compared to the in-
creases weve seen in the last few
years), but our tax money will go
further. And keep in mind, there
are tougher things on the American
pocket like, say, paying for a couple
of wars.
Its time to face the new reality:
The age of cheap oil is ending, and
energy prices are already rising. We
can face it now, or we can face it
later. Although Im a procrastina-
tor in most things, this is a task Id
rather handle immediately. Cutting
fossil fuel subsidies today helps
level the playing field for alterna-
tive energy sources, including re-
newable ones like wind and solar.
That means well be helping these
industries develop before we need
to rely on them entirely. And if
were feeling particularly forward-
looking, we might actually, at long
last, implement a carbon tax to ex-
plicitly link environmental quality
to our economic system.
Whether your goal is to slow the
rate of anthropogenic climate
change or to cut back on big gov-
ernment, the first thing to do is to
slap the meddlesome, biased hand
of oil subsidies. It is, however you
look at it, the Right thing to do.

Fresh off a big win over Col-
orado State at Maples Pavilion ear-
lier this week, the Stanford mens
basketball team is back on the
hardwood tonight, heading just up
the road to take on UC-Davis in a
non-league game.
The Cardinal (3-0) is riding high
after sweeping the first two games
of the NIT Season Tip-Off.Tuesday
nights 64-52 win over the Rams
earned Stanford a trip to New York
City for next weeks semifinal
round of the Tip-Off and a na-
tionally televised game at Madison
Square Garden on Wednesday
against Oklahoma State.
Junior guard Gabriel Harris
gave the Card a boost against Col-
orado State with a 60-foot halftime
buzzer-beater, and Stanford over-
came an early deficit to pull away
in the second half thanks to the
same improved outside shooting
that gave it the victories against
Central Arkansas and Fresno State
to open the season.
Although Stanford shot just 43
percent for the game, the team
cashed in on several open jump
shots that last year never seemed to
drop.
Harris finished with 12 points,
three back of redshirt senior for-
ward Josh Owens for the team
high.And sophomore guard Aaron
Bright continued his impressive
start to the season with 12 points,
his third straight double-digit scor-
ing night.
It will be important for Stanford
not to overlook the Aggies (1-3)
after the emotional uplift of the
win over Colorado State. While
Davis record hasnt been all that
impressive in the early going, all
three losses were very good games
including a one-point loss to
Southern Utah and a game against
San Diego State in which the Ag-
gies held the Aztecs scoreless for
the opening three minutes.
And if the Aggies Josh Ritchart
heats up from the outside, watch
out. Last years Big West Co-Fresh-
man of the Year likes to line it up
from behind the arc, and at 6-foot-
9 he has the extension to shoot over
smaller guards. As a team, Davis is
also 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 season
debut for the Aggs in their win over
UC-Santa Cruz, scoring 15 points
with five boards in just 15 minutes.
Dupont was a McDonalds All-
American in high school, but sat
out last season after transferring
from the Citadel to play for Davis.
It will be up to Owens, along
with sophomores Dwight Powell
and Josh Huestis, to neutralize
Ritchart and the Aggies wing play
with their length and athleticism.
Powell is coming off an ankle
sprain from last week, playing only
sparingly against the Rams, but
Huestis has really shined as a force
on the glass.
Freshman guard Chasson Ran-
dle has also looked good early on,
but Stanford is still searching for
the man to run the offense, as
Bright appears to be more of a
spot-up shooter than a true distrib-
utor, and Randle is most effective
as a slashing combo guard.
Tonights matchup should serve
to be a good time to tune things up
for the offense before it heads to
MSG next week, as the defense has
looked relatively strong so far this
season, albeit against some suspect
offenses. Tip-off from the Pavilion
is slated for 7 p.m.

CROSS COUNTRY
Card faces final
test at NCAAs
By MILES BENNETT-SMITH
MANAGING EDITOR
For the past four years, senior
Chris Derricks dream has been to
help his mens cross country team
win an NCAA championship.
After three top-10 finishes for the
team both of which came with
the Cardinal entering the champi-
onship meet ranked No. 1 in the
country and included top-seven
finishes for Derrick its now or
never for the Naperville, Ill. native
who will lead No. 6 Stanford into
battle on Monday against one of
the strongest fields in recent years
in Terre Haute, Ind.
Just after that race concludes,
junior Kathy Kroeger and redshirt
senior Stephanie Marcy will take
their No. 13 womens side out in
search of the programs sixth
NCAA title, but its first since the
Cardinals remarkable run of four
national championships in five
years from 2003-07.
It wont be easy for either side,
due to a variety of internal and ex-
ternal factors.
On the mens side, no one can
quite predict how the competition
will shape up. There are six teams
that most agree have the talent to
possibly take the title, and Stanford
falls into that group along with No.

Coming off two impressive home wins
against Cal State Bakersfield and Menlo Col-
lege this past weekend, the Cardinal wrestling
team will travel to Chattanooga,Tenn. this Sun-
day to take on the Central Michigan Chippe-
was, then do battle with the Mocs from the Uni-
versity of Tennessee at Chattanooga.
Both Central Michigan and Chattanooga (1-
1) have had exceptional programs for at least
the past decade. Under head coach Tom Bor-
relli, the Chippewas have won twelve Mid-
American Conference (MAC) regular season
titles and thirteen MAC Tournament champi-
onships. Meanwhile, the Mocs havent lost a
Southern Conference dual since 2004 and
havent lost a conference dual at home since
2003.
The Card has a recent history with both of
these schools. Last season, Chattanooga came
to the Farm, and Stanford was able to pull out a
close victory. The Mocs will surely be looking
for revenge.

Really,
really Big
Game
I
cant really speak to many spe-
cific Cardinal-football-related
anecdotes before 1998, but as
far as Big Games go, tomor-
rows showdown is perhaps
the most important one Ive seen over
the last 14 years, at least from a Stan-
ford perspective.
Its more important than the 2008
shellacking in Berkeley that left the
Cardinal one win shy of its first bowl in
seven years,or Stanfords dramatic win
in 2000 in the series first overtime
game,or last years dominant 48-14 vic-
tory to preserve the Cardinals hopes
for a BCS at-large bid. And Id argue
that its even more important than the
31-13 win in 1999 to secure Stanfords
first trip to Pasadena in 28 years.
Thats because, if you havent
heard, Cardinal football fans are
down in the dumps right now.And jus-
tifiably so. College football is cyclical,
and with Andrew Luck just two regu-
lar-season games from leaving the
Farm, theres good reason to believe
that this year is Stanfords peak, at
least for now.After letting last weeks
hyped-up game slip away literally
Stanfords national title dreams are
practically gone, and a Rose Bowl
berth would be a stretch as well.
Sure, a BCS bowl is likely to pick
up the Cardinal as long as it wins out.
Ive said it before, and Ill say it again:
Stanford mens basketball,
golf teams sign five to national
letters of intent
Mens basketball head coach
Johnny Dawkins announced the
signing of three highly-touted re-
cruits to National Letters of Intent
on Thursday, the same day that
mens golf coach Conrad Ray an-
nounced that two of his recruits also
had signed letters of intent and will
be attending Stanford next fall.
Dawkins signees include Rosco
Allen, currently listed as the No. 12-
ranked small forward and No. 55
overall player in ESPNUs 100 na-
tional rankings; Christian Sanders,
ESPNUs No. 26-ranked shooting
guard; and Grant Verhoeven, cur-
rently ranked No. 95 overall by
ESPNU.
The 2012 class is being touted as
one of Dawkins best overall, with
ESPN.com rating it as on the cusp
of being in the nations top-25, and
Scout.com putting it at No. 25. The
players come from all over the coun-
try, with Allen playing for Bishop
Gorman High School in Las Vegas,
Sanders for St. Thomas High School
in Houston and Verhoeven suiting
up for Central Valley Christian.
Rays incoming class has a bit
more of an international flavor, as
David Boote hails from Epsom Col-
lege in Surrey, England. The 2011
National Junior Champion, Boote
is joined in the class by Dominick
Francks, currently of Olympia High
School in Washington.
They will join an already deep
Cardinal squad, which features just
one senior on its roster and is ex-
pected to compete for Pac-12 and
national titles when the season
kicks off in February.
Luck, Etiz highlight list of 12 Cardinal
football players earning Pac-12
All-Academic honors
Quarterback Andrew Luck and
linebacker Brent Etiz were named
to the Pac-12 Conference All-Acad-
emic First Team on Thursday, lead-
ing a list of 12 total players who
earned All-Academic Conference
honors.
All-American right guard David
DeCastro and cornerback Johnson
Bademosi both made the Second
Team. And defensive end Henry
Anderson, tight end Coby Fleen-
der, long snapper Andrew Fowler,
punter David Green, defensive end
Matt Masifilo, linebacker Shayne
Skov, wide receiver Griff Whalen
and kicker Jordan Williamson all
earned 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-athlete
must have a minimum 3.0 cumula-
tive GPA and be either a starter or
significant substitute, according to
the Pac-12.

MEN, WOMEN TO
RACE MONDAY
State, No. 3 BYU, No. 4 Oklahoma
and No. 5 Colorado.
The Cowboys are two-time de-
fending national champions on
the LaVern Gibson Championship
Course 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 right
now, and with their performance
at the Great Lakes Regional
the teams top-five runners all
crossed the finish line together to
win the race handily all signs
point 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 spot
behind Derrick. And redshirt sen-
ior Brendan Gregg has found the
top-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 if
it wants to hang with the depth
that some of the other teams bring
to the table.
In the Pac-12 Championships,
the Buffs sneaked past the Card
by a mere three points thanks to a
big gap between the fourth and
fifth-place finishers for Stanford.
Freshman Joe Rosa might be
the one fighting to keep the team
in the race as that fifth runner, as
he turned in a very nice 19th-place
performance at the Western Re-
gionals. Or it could be sophomore
Erik Olson, who finished in 12th
place at the Pac-12 meet, but
slipped back a few spots at Re-
gionals.
Either way, the race is likely to
be one of the closest in years, and
it will be very interesting to see
what Derrick does in the battle for
the individual crown. Arizona
freshman Lawi Lalang has twice
run away from the field halfway
through the Pac-12 and Regionals
meets, and Derrick has come up
short trying to reel him in both
times while still trying to pick up
his teammates.
If Lalang, who is the odds-on
favorite in the individual race,
makes a similar move, or if Iona
standout 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 the
stops to try and win an individual
title, or if he waits a little longer to
help his teammates with a more
strategic race.
A similar conflict might shape
up for Kroeger on the womens
side. Stanford is unlikely to chal-
lenge for the overall title, as Flori-
da State, Vanderbilt and a couple
other programs appear to have too
much depth for the Card to over-
come this season.
But Kroeger finished seventh
at the Regionals in a comfortable
race, and was second at the ultra-
competitive Pac-12s. She and
Marcy, who was seventh at the
conference meet, will likely be up
front with the leaders, but there
could be some space going back to
freshman Aisling Cuffe and junior
Claire Durkin, who round out
Stanfords scorers.
It will all shape up on race day,
with the gun for the mens 10K
going off just after 11 a.m. PST, and
the women toeing the starting line
just before 12 p.m. PST. Both races
will be available to stream online
at NCAA.com

The last time the Cardinal
wrestled the Chippewas, the out-
come was not so positive. Central
Michigan destroyed Stanford, and
while the Cardinal wrestlers
would love to repay the favor, the
task wont be easy.
This is going to be a real good
test for us, said Stanford head
coach Jason Borrelli. Both those
teams are very well coached.
Chattanooga always wrestles hard
and will come out ready to wres-
tle, and CMU is a top-fifteen
[team], year-in and year-out.
These should be two good dual
meets.
Chattanooga is returning three
wrestlers who have won the
Southern Conference champi-
onship senior Brandon Wright
at 165 pounds, junior Josh Condon
at 174 pounds and junior Robert
Prigmore at 184 pounds. Those
will be tough matches for redshirt
freshman Matt Schneider (1-3),
redshi rt seni or Ni ck
Amuchastegui (5-0) and redshirt
junior Spence Patrick (4-1).
Central Michigans team is full
of new faces with twenty-four
freshmen on the Chippewas ros-
ter. Despite its youth, the team
cannot be taken lightly. Senior
133-pounder Scotti Sentes is a two
time All-American, as is 184-
pounder Ben Bennett. Mean-
whi l e, true freshman Ni ck
Hodgkins came into this season as
the nations top-ranked recruit at
149 pounds and won the Michigan
State Open earlier this season.
Sentes should give junior Ryan
Mango (5-0), No. 6 in the nation,
his first true test of the season.
And Hodgkins and Bennett will
be tough matchups for redshirt
juniors Timmy Boone and Spence
Patrick.
An interesting twist to this
weekends matchup is that Stan-
fords Jason Borrelli will be
coaching not only against his alma
mater Central Michigan, but also
his father Tom, a legend for what
he has done for the schools
wrestling program. After losing to
his dad a couple of years ago in
Saginaw, Borrelli is definitely
fired up for this matchup.
Its an interesting dynamic.
When the match isnt going on,
were father and son, Borrelli
said with a grin on his face. But
once we start, Im competitive.
The Cardinal will head to
Chattanooga on Sunday, Nov. 20
to face Central Michigan at 9 a.m.
and Chattanooga at 11 a.m.

blowout. Senior forward Lindsay
Taylor notched a goal and an assist
in 72 minutes of action, but was
stonewalled by junior Grizzly
goalie Kristen Hoon on three
other occasions. The squad also
had trouble finding the net despite
controlling play in the season fi-
nale against Cal, a 2-0 win that saw
the Cardinal score both of its goals
in a 40-second span.
Stanford hasnt played two
matches on a weekend since late
October, and if the team wants to
continue into the fourth round of
the postseason or even make it
to the third-round game this Sun-
day, for that matter it will need
to look sharper against the
tougher competition it will in-
evitably face.
Were ready for it, said soph-
omore goalkeeper Emily Oliver.
We had a couple of tough training
sessions on Sunday in preparation
for the two-game weekend thats
coming up, so I think were ready
to go.
Tonight, Stanfords toughness
will be tested against South Caroli-
na in the late game at Cagan Stadi-
um. The Gamecocks tight style of
soccer has held opponents to just
16 goals on the season, and al-
though South Carolina might not
put up flashy offensive numbers, it
does sport senior forward Kayla
Grimsley the only current Divi-
sion-I player with more than 40
goals and 30 assists on her career.
Oliver may have faced some of
the countrys best offenses in Pac-
12 play, but as the tournament pro-
gresses shes going to have to deal
with even more powerful attacks.
And though Oliver has the best
goals-against average in the coun-
try (0.24), the defensive battle is
not a one-woman effort.
Our back line is awesome, our
midfielders are great and defend-
ing starts with the forwards, Oliv-
er said. Having everyone in front
of me just gives me confidence, and
I think weve prepared all season
[for the tournament].
Offensively, the Cardinal needs
to receive continued contributions
from Taylor, who has scored 10
goals over the past eight games
and was named Pac-12 Player of
the Year. While 13 other Stanford
players have gotten on the board
this season, none has scored more
than half as many goals as the star
senior, whose six game-winning
tallies also lead the team.
After they lost in the College
Cup Final in devastating fashion
two years in a row and then
bounced back and carry the squad
during the second half of the con-
ference season in 2011, expect
Stanfords quartet of seniors to set
the tone this weekend.
Theyre all great leaders, and
they want to get back to that cham-
pionship game and correct things,
win that national title, Ratcliffe
said. Theres no doubt in my mind
that theyre inspired and want to
win the whole thing.
Should the Cardinal advance
past the Gamecocks, it will face the
winner of the Friday-afternoon
match between Boston College
(12-5-2, 6-4-0 ACC) and Cal (12-6-
3, 5-4-2 Pac-12). A Cal-Stanford
showdown in the wake of Big
Game weekend would surely be yet
another heated chapter in this in-
tense rivalry.
That would be interesting . . .
but regardless of who we play, I
think well be ready to go, Oliver
said. If its Cal, great, and if its
Boston College, great. But weve
got to make it there first.
That quest begins tonight at 7
p.m. at Cagan Stadium, with the
Cardinal still riding an 84-match
unbeaten streak when scoring at
least one goal and a 47-match win
streak overall. The winners of
tonights two games will then meet
on Sunday at 1 p.m. in search of an
appearance in the quarterfinals.

If you know anything about Stanford
football history, you should be pleas-
antly surprised whenever you finish in
the top-10 two years in a row.
But Im sorry.The Orange Bowl is
not the Rose Bowl; the Fiesta Bowl is
not the Rose Bowl. If this season ends
anywhere but Pasadena, its going to
feel like a missed opportunity for
Stanford football fans.
Add that to the increasing number
of East-coast biased, uninformed
pundits who are going to couple
Lucks marginal performance against
the Ducks with highly irrelevant sta-
tistical analysis to try and throw him
off the Heisman pedestal he so de-
serves (Toby Gerhart, you have com-
pany), while ignoring the injuries to
two of his best targets and the
dropped passes by those receivers
who did make it onto the field, and
this is starting to feel like crisis time.
Thats what makes the 114th Big
Game so important. I dont want to
see Stanford beat Cal; I want to see
Stanford destroy Cal behind six
touchdown passes, 400 rushing yards,
two sacks apiece for each of our start-
ing linebackers, multiple pick-sixes
from the dynamic Michael Thomas
and at least one dominant run by
Luck. If there was ever a game where
margin of victory really mattered, its
this one. Cardinal fans need catharsis,
and we need it now.
I have a strong suspicion that Stan-
ford football players need catharsis
too. And an even stronger suspicion
that theyre going to get it tomorrow.
Cal may have the best total de-
fense and, perhaps more impor-
tantly, the best pass defense in the
Pac-12. Remember last year, when
the Bears looked to stifle the Stanford
attack on a cold, rainy day in Memor-
ial Stadium behind a defense that led
the conference in the same two cate-
gories? Cal surely had forgotten that
little bit of information by the time
the Cardinal jumped out to a 45-0
lead in the third quarter.
Cal may have the best brother tan-
dem in the Pac-12 between quarter-
back Zach Maynard and receiver
Keenan Allen. That doesnt hide the
fact that Maynard is easily Cals least
accurate starting passer in years,
struggling for 14 touchdowns and 11
interceptions this season.
And Cal may be facing Luck on
the downswing, after just his sixth loss
as a starting quarterback. But Luck is
4-1 in the games after those previous
five defeats, throwing seven touch-
downs and an average of over 250
yards per game.
Rivalry games are way too unpre-
dictable for me to say that the Cardi-
nal should run away with this one.But
if there was ever a time when this
Stanford teamand this Stanford
fan base could use a blowout, its
now.
You dont have to look back very
far to find bowl-less seasons that Car-
dinal fans considered successes as
long as the year ended in a Big Game
win. Were past that era, yet this Big
Game is still much bigger than most.
Joseph has a remarkably good
memory of past Big Games, consid-
ering that he is only a freshman.

that I couldnt remember anything
about them the quarter after. Trans-
lating schooling from factual knowl-
edge to internalized learning isnt a
matter of course it requires a
special variety of effort.
Its often said in a derisory way
that college is the last time in life
where you can just screw around.
But many mistake not spending
time in study for avoiding edifica-
tion. Stanford students are obvious-
ly masterful at delaying gratifica-
tion, but we can do so at the expense
of much of lifes quality.The value of
your classes is partly wasted when
the material isnt fodder for a night-
time debate, when its not internal-
ized in the everyday.The investment
in college is partly wasted when one
spends too much time justifying the
payment on your room and board
(that was a really roundabout way
of saying staying inside.) A suc-
cessful career is a waste if its not ac-
companied by something good or
pleasurable. I believe this whole-
heartedly.
As much as our campus seems
to push you to go out for clubs and
plan your quarters to help build a
resume, I advise a different regi-
men. Go do something intention-
ally useless and enjoyable. Theres
nothing like a break, so seize the
day to not seize the day and you
may find youve achieved more
than one can when chained to a
desk.

to less than 200 yards a game through the air
while Stanford keeps opponents under 95
yards rushing per game. Additionally, Cal
has held its last two opponents to a com-
bined 13 points, while Stanford gave up 53
last Saturday.
Even though the Cardinal defenders
werent so impressive last weekend against
the Ducks, defensive coordinator Derek
Mason said that Stanford wont change its
stripes after one poor performance.
We dont second guess, we dont micro-
manage, we just say that we learned a lot
from this football game, lets make sure we
can correct the issues that need to be cor-
rected, and lets adjust it, because thats last
week, he said.
If Stanford hopes to crack the Cal de-
fense, it will likely lean heavily on the run
game in order to take advantage of the
weaker aspect of the Bear defense and try
to establish some rhythm for quarterback
Andrew Luck.
Junior running back Stepfan Taylor tal-
lied 87 yards in the first half before the Car-
dinal was forced to abandon the running
game, while Luck accounted for three cost-
ly turnovers last weekend due to a hawking
Oregon defense that challenged the Stan-
ford offensive line on every down.
Senior guard David DeCastro said that
Lucks protectors had to improve before the
ball was snapped this week if they wanted to
keep their superstars jersey clean.
I think just communicating; thats key
to offensive line play, always being on the
same page. When that doesnt happen, An-
drews getting hit, he said.
When Luck does turn to the air, he will
likely be looking to find senior receiver Griff
Whalen, who has quietly become the passers
favorite target over the last month. Whalen
now leads the team with 45 catches for 641
yards and four touchdowns, with 36 of those
catches and 540 yards coming in the last six
games.Whalens sudden rise to the ace of the
receiving corps has been particularly impor-
tant, as senior receiver Chris Owusu and jun-
ior tight end Zach Ertz are both once again
unlikely to play this Saturday.
The Bear offense will counter by looking
to sophomore wide receiver Keenan Allen,
who rivals USC wide receiver Robert
Woods for the top spot in every receiving
category in the Pac-12.Allen is second in re-
ceptions per game in the conference and
third in receiving yards per game, as well as
10th in all-purpose yards.
The North Carolina native has 1,103
yards receiving and five touchdowns on the
year, although he has been particularly
quiet 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 Allens
importance to the Bear attack.
Of course, any matchup between Stan-
ford and Cal includes an element of the un-
predictable one of the countrys oldest
rivalries has certainly seen its share of un-
usual upsets and wild finishes over the past
114 years.
The Bears have been the superior com-
petitors in the last decades Big Games,
going 7-2 since 2002, including a 1-1 record
against Luck. In his two starts against the
Bears, Luck tossed a crushing last-minute
interception to fall 34-28 at home in 2009,
then got his revenge with a 48-14 thrashing
in Berkeley that included a highlight-reel,
58-yard run in which Luck trucked over
Cattouse in the open field.
Even though Oregon and USC eclipse
Cal in terms of national prominence this
season, the Stanford players say the Trojans
and Ducks havent pushed the Bears to the
back-burner of conference rivals.
I would see how people would say that,
but I dont think it has been at all, theres
still just that extra excitement, that juice for
the Big Game, you know, you walk on the
campus and you see Beat Cal hanging
from the library, Tarpley said. Obviously
people might not think of them as highly as
USC or Oregon, but theyre coming in here
excited and playing their best ball, and
were going to need to do the same thing if
were going to come out here and get the
win.
Stanford and Cal will rekindle the rival-
ry tomorrow night at 7:15 p.m. in the 114th
edition of the Big Game. Television cover-
age will be on ESPN.

PREDICTIONS
No. 9 Stanford (9-1, 7-1 Pac-12)
California (6-4, 3-4 Pac-12)
MILES BENNETT-SMITH
STANFORD 49, CAL 24: Talking to players at
practice this week, no one wants to bring up last week`s
loss against Oregon. And why would they? There were
no moral victories to be taken as the Ducks whipped the
Cardinal all over the field. That being said, I cannot be-
lieve that Stanford won`t come out fired up at home for
Andrew Luck and the senior class` last chance to win
the Axe. I see Cal scoring on a defense that is still beat
up, but even if the Bears` solid run defense holds up for
the first half, David Shaw will go to the air. And I think
Luck is set to have a much better game. In the second
half, look for the Cardinal to start rolling it up.
JACOB JAFFE
STANFORD 52, CAL 13: I can see two possible
reactions to last week`s humbling loss to Oregon: 1)
coming out flat with an emotional hangover and slog-
ging through a tough game against a rival or 2) coming
out angry and using every pent-up frustration to punish
the team Stanford hates most. Judging by what I`ve
seen from Shaw & Co., I find the second option much
more likely. Last year, Cal had not allowed more than 17
points in a home game until Luck and the offense
scored 45 in three quarters at the former trash-heap
known as Memorial Stadium. This year, the Cardinal
should be even more motivated, and with the talent dif-
ferential already heavily in Stanford`s favor, motivation is
probably Cal`s only hope. Cal is the worst passing team
in the Pac-12 and has allowed at least 31 points in every
road game this year. This Big Game will be no contest.
JACK BLANCHAT
STANFORD 41, CAL 17: Stanford is better than
Cal in absolutely every facet of the game, so I don`t see
any way that the Cardinal drops this contest. I expect a big
rebound in particular from the Stanford defense, which
should take advantage of Zach Maynard`s awfulness and
force some big turnovers early in this game, allowing Luck
and the Luckettes to rack up points early on and cruise to
a win. I also expect to see the offense open up the play-
book a little bit this weekend as the Cardinal offense suf-
fered from a lack of big plays that could have kept the
game close last week. Look for a good amount of the Wild-
cat formation and some bombs down the field from Luck.
SIMON WARBY/The Stanford Daily
The Red Zone has experienced a revival with the recent success of the Stanford football team,
with a trend of selling out likely to continue this weekend in the Big Game against Cal.
SIMON WARBY/The Stanford Daily
Junior forward Joslyn Tinkle notched 12 points and seven rebounds in just 18 minutes of play in Thursday nights blowout victory over
Old Dominion. Tinkle was one of five Cardinal players in double figures, as early domination allowed for 15 different Stanford
players, including all six freshmen, to see time on the floor.
line by sophomore guard Toni Kokenis even
before the Ogwumike sisters, senior forward
Nnemkadi and sophomore forward Chiney,
combined to score the first real points of the con-
test.
It was an ominous sign, not only would Stan-
ford (3-0) set up a 32-point lead (56-24) by the
half, the Lady Monarchs would also commit 11
more fouls in the first period, allowing the Card
to add nine uncontested points from the free-
throw line.
With a team like this you cant let them start
off strong, and thats what happened, said Old
Dominion head coach Karen Barefoot. They
were in the zone, and they were hitting shots con-
stantly.
Barefoot later said she noticed that her teams
inexperience caught up with them on the court.
Some of them were overwhelmed, some of
our freshmen, you could tell, she said. Tonight
we played with three or four freshmen on the
court at times.
But that is a difficult comparison to make.The
Card played all six freshmen last night, five of
them getting over ten minutes of game time
each. In fact, throughout most of the second half
Stanfords big players sat unneeded on the side-
lines.
Obviously Nneka had a phenomenal game
against Gonzaga.explained VanDerveer.Shes
a great player, but were a lot more than just one
player. Thats what I think we saw tonight.
Stepping up to illustrate that fact, senior
guard Lindy La Rocque had a career-high 15
points with five buckets from beyond the arc in
the first period alone. Her performance capped
an impressive total of 36 points by Cardinal play-
ers from outside the line.
Three-point shooting is definitely conta-
gious, explained La Rocque. [Freshman for-
ward] Taylor [Greenfield] made those two right
off the bat, and it was just kind of like setting the
tone.When you see someone else making shots it
gives you confidence too.
The big lead allowed VanDerveer to show that
confidence in her younger players, letting them
gain experience before next Mondays clash with
No. 4 Connecticut on the road, which will surely
be a crucial point early on in this season.
The experience is what will be different,
said Nnemkadi Ogwumike looking ahead. We
are both very young teams.
The game against the Huskies will certainly
be a less one-sided affair than last nights con-
test, but with both teams having graduated key
players, this may offer an ideal opportunity for
the Card to follow up on last years victory and
defeat UConn on its own hardwood.
With the loss of [forward] Maya [Moore] it is
a little bit different, explained Nnemkadi Og-
wumike. But we lost [forward] Kayla [Peder-
sen] and [forward] Jeanette [Pohlen] as well. So
right now we really dealing with finding our
niche as a team and understanding how we
work.
Last nights contest was a good warm-up, but
Mondays contest will be a pivotal lesson for this
young team. The matchup will be on Monday,
Nov. 21 at 4:30 p.m. PST, at UConn.

Were all familiar with the ex-
pert as a librarian, Brown said,
adding that librarians are not al-
ways accessible and do not have the
same deep understanding of a wide
range of content that Watson
achieves.
According to Brown, Watson of-
fers precise answers, a fast response
time and accurate confidences
and consumable justifications for
those answers.
Brown described future applica-
tions of Watsons automatic open
domain question answering, from
business and commercial applica-
tions to healthcare innovations in
differential diagnosis. Overall, he
described the goal of the develop-
ing technology as striving to help
people make better decisions.
Watson is just very good at win-
ning at Jeopardy. After testing
against past Tournament of Cham-
pions contestants during a demon-
stration stage, Watson played and
won on national television this past
February against Ken Jennings, the
longest championship streak
record holder, and Brad Rutter, the
shows biggest money winner.
Brown described the complexity
of natural language and the meth-
ods Watson, which uses 90 IBM
power servers, employs to parse
questions, such as determining key
words and the desired answer form.
Im completely unbiased here,
Brown said before the competition.
I dont care who comes in second.
I smell fear, Crain said, as he
welcomed the teams to the stage.
After a series of questions dom-
inated completely by Watson, Crain
added, Youre off to a bad start.
After two categories of single
Jeopardy and with both human
teams expressing slight frustration,
the Berkeley team finally managed
to beat Watson to the buzzer.
IBM scientists have been able to
cut down Watsons response rate to
the average Jeopardy contestant
time frame of fewer than three sec-
onds, combined with high precision
and number of questions answered.
If the computer does not find an an-
swer that crosses its confidence
threshold, it will not buzz in. During
the game, audience members were
able to see Watsons top three an-
swer choices and corresponding
confidence percentages.
While both teams managed to
enter the game during the first
round, Watson took a strong lead
and benefited from the Daily
Double.Stanford, after a detour in
the red, trailed Berkeley.
During the second round, one
clear shortcoming of the computer
became clear. After the Berkeley
team answered a question incor-
rectly, Watson repeated the same
response.
At another point, Watson had a
delay in choosing the next category
after answering a question correct-
ly.
Remember, its Watson super-
computer, but Microsoft software,
said Bernie Meyerson, vice presi-
dent of innovation and global uni-
versity relations for IBM.
Going into final Jeopardy, de-
spite successes for both student
teams, the score stood at $8,800 for
Stanford, $16,400 for Berkeley and
$33,300 for Watson.
All three teams answered the
final question on 20th century
thinkers correctly, and the final
order remained the same.
Following the competition,
Brown responded to questions and
described some of Watsons tools,
such as a pun filter and a vulgarity
filter. Audience members posed
questions about the fairness of the
game, particularly about buzzer
speed and whether the competition
was biased.
I would say that understanding
natural language is rigged in the hu-
mans favor, Brown said.
