(TIRE) bad news Wednesday: Two team riders pulled out of the race after sustaining injuries from a crash about midway through the stage. Colombia's Felix Cardenas suffered a deep cut in his left knee and Paolo Longo Borghini of Italy broke his right collarbone, the race doctor said. Barloworld is down to the minimum five riders. The team's leader, Colombian rider Juan Mauricio Soler, pulled out of the race last week after injuring his wrists in a crash during the first stage. Soler was the King of the Mountains champion as the Tour's best climber last year.

State Road Hes-burg- hrelli PROVO 972 S University Avenue Ne-vad- Jack Swarbrick graduated from Notre Dame the same year as the university president, yet the Rev. John Jenkins never heard of him until a few weeks ago. On Wednesday, Jenkins h stood in a room atop the Library with a view over Notre Dame Stadium and introduced his fellow 1976 classmate as the university's new athletic director. "I am confident that in Jack Swarbrick we have found a superb athletic director for the University of Notre Dame," Jenkins said. Jenkins said because Notre Dame is a Catholic university with high academic standards and a storied football program, "Notre Dame athletics is unconventional, and its leader must bring an unconventional set of skills and experiences to the job." Jenkins said Swarbrick has shown he has the necessary skills through his work bringing numerous sporting events to the city of Indianapolis, including attracting the Super Bowl in 2012, NCAA Final Fours and Big Ten men's and women's basketball tournaments and his work as an adviser to the NCAA on various issues.
