Show ____r M Duke lacrosse coach resigns amid scandal BY ALLEN G. BREED The Associated Press DURHAM, N.C. - A lacrosse player's e-mail rant about killing and skinning strippers in his Duke University dorm room has led to his coach's resignation, the season's cancellation and an internal probe into the school's response to alleged violence by athletes. Wednesday's cascade of events was the latest fallout from allegations that three players on the lacrosse team raped a stripper at an offcampus party on March 13. No charges have been filed in the case, but sophomore Ryan McFadyen, 19, of Mendham, N.J., the player who wrote the e-mail has been suspended, and Duke President Richard H. Brodhead promised a "very, very serious self-study" of campus culture. "I pledge that Duke will respond with appropriate seriousness when the truth is established," he wrote in a letter to the community. Students and townspeople have marched almost daily since the alleged attack on the stripper, a student across town at North Carolina Central University. The woman, who is black, claims three white players pulled her into a bathroom and assaulted her. Protesters are angry over the school's handling of the allegations and the team members' refusal to cooperate with police. Investigators have said the athletes are From page 7 Open Mon.-Sat. 2:00 - 9:45 3696 N. 1600 E.

For all the dread that the latest changes to Augusta National went over the top, the Masters had a familiar look Thursday, starting with Vijay Singh atop the leaderboard. The former Masters champion fired off three straight birdies on the back nine for a 5-under 67, his best start in this tournament and a round he felt was long overdue.
