Haus

Still feeling the rush from that afternoon's intense scrimmage, Johns Hopkins men's lacrosse coach John Haus bolts back home to pop in the videotape and eagerly break down the film.That's until Haus is greeted by two of his sons, who have their hearts set on throwing the lacrosse ball around with their dad in the backyard.For the new coach of the No. 1 team in the country, it's no contest what comes first. So stop the tape, put on a sweatshirt and grab a lacrosse stick."In my mind, family is No. 1. I have to be honest," Haus said with a pause.

If graduating one of the best attack units in college history wasn't trying enough, Princeton coach Bill Tierney now has to deal with the possibility of starting the season without his best offensive weapon, Josh Sims.Sims, last season's Midfielder of the Year in college lacrosse, has been sidelined for nearly two weeks with a thigh bruise after taking a knee to his leg in the Army scrimmage on Feb. 20.Although Sims hasn't practiced all week, Tierney said the Severn graduate could play Saturday, when the three-time, defending national champion Tigers open against top-ranked Johns Hopkins.

Everybody in the lacrosse community wants to talk about the open Towson coaching job, one of the top vacancies this decade. That is, everybody but the candidates themselves.Coaches from around the country speculate the candidate pool contains Division I coaches and assistants as well as coaches from Division III and the high school level. Yet despite all the buzz, every candidate contacted this week refused to talk at length about the Towson job.Tigers athletic director Wayne Edwards has received 60 applications since Carl Runk ended his 31-year tenure by resigning on May 6.A nine-member selection committee, which includes faculty and coaches, cut that list to 10 and will begin formal interviews within the week.

Johns Hopkins has interviewed all five candidates for its vacant men's lacrosse coaching job, and several college lacrosse sources indicated the Blue Jays will hire one of three finalists by Wednesday.The three top choices are: UMBC coach Don Zimmerman, Washington College coach John Haus and former Gilman School coach John Tucker. The other two candidates interviewed this week were Brian Voelker, the Johns Hopkins defensive coordinator last year, and Maryland offensive coordinator Scott Marr.

John Haus might not have any Division I head coaching experience, but he's not naive about the high expectations linked to Johns Hopkins lacrosse.Haus, 36, who led Washington College to its first Division III lacrosse national championship in May, was named coach of the Blue Jays yesterday. The defensive coordinator at Hopkins from 1989 to 1994, Haus returns to Homewood to become the 21st coach in the school's storied 115-year lacrosse history.He replaces Tony Seaman, who was forced out on June 22 by the school's alumni for not winning a national title in eight seasons.

Johns Hopkins will name Washington College's John Haus as its men's lacrosse coach today, replacing Tony Seaman with one of his former assistants, a source close to Hopkins' athletic department confirmed.Haus, 36, the defensive coordinator in Seaman's first four years at Homewood, directed Washington College to its first Division III national championship this past spring. In four years with the Shoremen, he posted a 47-21 record, including a 41-13 mark the past three seasons and three straight NCAA title-game appearances.

THE PURCHASE of Random House by a German media conglomerate is the latest proof that American English has triumphed as the world's unchallenged language of commerce, culture -- and profits. What else would explain that nearly 30 percent of U.S. publishing is now in foreign hands?Will global conglomerates be susceptible to pressure and blackmail as they try to protect their business interests in different countries? Time will tell. But as long as smaller publishing houses remain, competition will assure that globalization will not squelch freedom of expression on even the most controversial issues.

Dan Denihan, a starting attackman who withdrew from Johns Hopkins in the spring, said he plans to come back to the school in the fall.A two-year starter on the Blue Jays attack in 1996 and '97, Denihan left school in the middle of his junior year for personal reasons and declined to comment yesterday on how many years of eligibility he has remaining. He was Hopkins' second-leading scorer in 1997 with 20 goals and 20 assists.Denihan, a native of Manhasset, N.Y., attended yesterday's news conference announcing John Haus as the new Hopkins coach.

Tim Haus had time to take a phone call Thursday afternoon - one sure sign that this won't be a typical Preakness weekend. The days leading up to the race are typically crazy for Haus and other workers at Wells Discount Liquors on York Road in Anneslie. On race day, they'd usually open at 7 a.m. just so people headed to Pimlico's infield could load cars with beer, beer and more beer. That's over. Track officials have prohibited spectators from bringing in any beverages, including malty, hoppy, alcoholic ones - those that fueled the antics that earned the race the nickname "The Freakness" and quenched Baltimore's annual thirst for debauchery.

Navy coach Richie Meade and UMBC coach Don Zimmerman said yesterday that they have not considered nor talked to North Carolina officials about the head coaching vacancy. Since the sudden parting of ways between the Atlantic Coast Conference school and John Haus on Tuesday, the names of a number of prominent head coaches have been floated as possible successors. Meade, who played two seasons as an attackman and served three as an assistant coach with the Tar Heels, has been mentioned but not contacted.

North Carolina men's lacrosse coach John Haus has been relieved of his duties and will not return next season, the school announced yesterday. "John and I have had several discussions in the days since the season ended, and the result of those talks is that we agree a change is in the best interest of reaching the goals we all have for Carolina lacrosse," athletic director Dick Baddour said in a release posted on the school's Web site. "John has spent the past eight years giving everything he had to our program," Baddour said.

Outsiders enjoy poking fun at the Atlantic Coast Conference men's lacrosse tournament. A minority of ACC schools sponsor the sport, but at least it's more than a three-team chase now that North Carolina has emerged from a bleak stretch. Virginia won the NCAA title in 1999. Duke and Maryland have been regulars in the big tournament, but North Carolina hasn't won an NCAA game since 1993. There was a five-season stretch in which North Carolina went 1-16 against its conference brethren, but the Tar Heels beat Virginia last season and Duke last month and the horizon could hold blue skies again in Chapel Hill.

Biological sabotage is an old story in Maryland. The first plot to use anthrax as a weapon of war was cooked up here 86 years ago by foreign agents who met in a building at the corner of Redwood and Charles streets in downtown Baltimore. The almost forgotten story of the Hansa Haus and "Tony's Lab" is a reminder that America has experienced biological attacks before in wartime. The last germ attack in the United States was in 1915. World War I was raging in Europe, and the U.S. was supplying hundreds of thousands of horses and other goods to the British to help in their fight against Germany and its allies.

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. - It was a dominating defensive effort that would have made their old coach proud. The Blue Jays of Johns Hopkins pushed around North Carolina's struggling, pieced-together offense, turning in another overwhelming performance and dispatching the Tar Heels and former Hopkins coach John Haus, 12-4, in front of 1,825 yesterday at Fetzer Field. If the No. 5 Blue Jays (3-2) haven't proven by now that they have the best defense in the nation, they are beginning to run out of new ways to state their case.
