overcoming an unscheduled early pit stop to finish 1.3 seconds ahead of Ferrari teammate Michael Schumacher in a 1-2 showing for the Italian team on its home circuit.Jenson Button, who led the race for several laps, was third in his BAR-Honda, 10.1 seconds behind Barrichello.It was the eighth career Formula One victory for Barrichello, who claimed his second win at Monza in three years.Barrichello started from pole but had to pit stop after five laps to change tires and change his aerodynamic settings to complete the 53-lap race.It rained all morning but the track began to dry during the pre-race warmup.The Brazilian, who started from the pole, built a lead of more than 20 seconds and emerged from his third pit stop narrowly ahead of Schumacher, but had to ask his team by radio in which position he was.Brodeur feels better at Sunday practice Defenceman Robyn Regehr and goaltender Martin Brodeur both missed practice with injuries on Sunday but neither has been ruled out to play for Canada in Tuesday's World Cup of Hockey final.Coach Pat Quinn, ever secretive about injuries, said only that Regehr has had “a bit of a bang going on for a few games” and needed a rest.Brodeur sat out Canada's 4-3 overtime win over the Czech Republic in the semifinals on Saturday night with a wrist injury.Roberto Luongo stepped in and made 37 saves for Canada.Brodeur, who allowed only three goals in Canada s first four games, said he will try to practice on Monday and then decide if he is fit to return to action.However, Brodeur said Luongo should prepare himself as if he will start, just in case.Hasek, Spezza consider AHL stint With a lockout looming over the NHL, two high-profile players from one of the league's premier franchises are considering playing the season in the minors.Player agent Rich Winter told the Ottawa Citizen over the weekend that client Dominik Hasek, who signed a free agent contract with the Senators in July, is 'seriously considering' playing with their American Hockey League affiliate in Binghamton, New York if the owners lock out the players from NHL training camps on Thursday.The paper adds that Hasek, 39, could accept a two-week conditioning assignment to Binghamton and it can be extended if Hasek agrees.Centre Jason Spezza, tabbed by many to the team's No.1 pivot, confirmed to the Ottawa Sun that he would likely report to Binghamton in the event of a lockout.On TV Monday • BASEBALL: 7 p.m.; Major League Baseball regular season, Baltimore Orioles at Toronto Blue Jays, Sport-snet.• FOOTBALL: 9 p.m.; National

College football team won its first game of the season in convincing style Saturday afternoon when they defeated the FX Garneau Élans 17-1 at PEPS Stadium in Ste-Foy.The win couldn’t have come at a better time for the Cougars who started the season with back-to-back losses to the Vanier Cheetahs and Vieux-Montréal Spartiates.They also have a bye this week.Champlain had played well in those two losses but mental mistakes, penalties and turnovers at key times proved costly for the Cougars.It was a different story Saturday as the Cougars played smart, aggressive football for 60 minutes.Once again it was the Cougars’ defence that set the tone by dominating the Élans offence from the opening kick-off.Kevin Laliberté came up with the first big play of the game when he intercepted a Garneau pass in the second minute of the game, the first of two interceptions for the defensive back.Champlain wasted little time in taking advantage of the opportunity as quarterback Charles Croisetière tossed a 37-yard touchdown pass to Guillaume Talbot.The Cougars conceded a single point a few minutes later.Champlain held a 7-1 lead as the first quarter came to an end.The special teams got into the act in the opening minute of the second quarter when line- backer Sébastien Bourget-Fournier blocked an Élans punt deep in their territory.This time Croisetière connected with wide receiver Jermine Brooks for a 24-yard scoring strike that gave the Cougars a 14-1 advantage.Both defences played exceptionally well in the third quarter and Champlain scored its final points in the fourth quarter on a short field goal by Vincent Auger.Auger’s kick was et up by a 62-yard run by Davey Mason that put the ball on the Garneau two-yard line.Cookshire native Croisetière had the best day of his CEGEP career as he threw two touchdown passes and continued his development as one of the top CEGEP quarterbacks.Mason rushed for 90 yards on 13 carries including his 62-yard scamp that set up Auger’s field goal.On the defensive side, Laliberté had two interceptions while Maxime Beaulac and Bruno Lapointe each had a fumble recovery.“I am very content with this victory and satisfied with my two interceptions,” Laliberté said.“On the first one credit has to go to the defensive line which did a great job pressuring their quarterback.” After the game a relieved head coach Sébastien Brière praised his opponent.“Garneau is an excellent defensive team, particularly against the passing game,” he said.“They put a lot of pressure on our quarterback but Charles did a good job handling the pressure.This was a good victory for us.” Croisetière stressed there is still room for improvement.“I played well today and it was a good team effort,” he said after the game.“But I still have to work on becoming a very good quarterback.” University Football Laval: CONT’D FROM PAGE 12 Robert McCullum kicked the extra point to give the Rouge et Or a 7-0 advantage.Bishop’s had two excellent opportunities to tie the score or even take the lead when they marched inside the Laval’s ten-yard line on two consecutive possessions.The first, set up by Gidding’s 79-yard pass reception, saw the Gaiters squander a first-and-goal at the Laval six-yard line.On second down Williams’ pass was intercepted in the end zone.The defense held and Bishop’s took possession on their own 41-yard line.Six passes later the Gqiters had the ball on the Laval eight-yard line facing a second-and-five situation.This time the Laval defense sacked Williams for an 18-yard line and Ad-dona had to punt the ball after a 10-yard delay of game penalty pushed the ball to the 36-yard line.Laval upped their lead to 9-0 in the second quarter when Gaiter punter Alex Dyer conceded a two-point safety and that was the score as the half came to an end.The defenses continued to dominate in the second half and the only scoring came on a pair of field goals by McCullum.The Gaiters showed that they can compete, now they have to show they can win, beginning next week when they travel to Montreal to face the McGill Redmen.“Today was a good effort but McGill is a must win game for us,” Safety Ryan Smith said.Smith, who had an interception and a fumble recovery, expressed confidence that the offense is going to break out next week against the Redmen.Extra points: Jeronimo Huerta-Flores recorded his second 100-yard rushing game of the young season as he ran for 131 yards on 16 carries.Pat Nadeau, who replaced Williams for the final two series of the game, was Bishop’s top runner as he scrambled for 38 yards on three carries.Williams completed eight of 21 passes for 165 yards but was picked off four times while a trio of Rouge et Or quarterbacks connected on 13 of 26 passes for 155 yards and three interceptions.Laval will face the Montreal Carabins next week while the Gaiters are on the road against the McGill Redmen. : —lut—i ¦¦ - RECORD Monday, September 13, 2004 page 15 Compton County
