	New Growth Focus should be prestige, not size The time has come for the admissions board to cap enrollment. TCU is risking the loss of its small school feel. Each year the numbers keep going up — 1,426 in 1999, 1,493 in 2000 and 1,515 this year. Although the increments are small, the effects are starting to appear. full story	Men's soccer looks for revenge against Vanderbilt By Dan Smith Skiff staff After losing 4-0 last season to Vanderbilt, the men’s soccer team is looking for payback tonight against the Commodores, players and coaches said. “We’d like revenge,” assistant coach Blake Amos said. The men’s soccer team will start its 2001 season against the Vanderbilt Commodores 8 p.m. tonight at Vanderbilt Soccer Field. The Frogs play the Belmont Bruins at 6 p.m. Sunday at Garvey-Rosenthal Stadium. full story
		Scott Hall, QB, vs. Chad McCarty, DE The Matchup: Quarterback Scott Hall is the only player on North Texas’ offense that is close to being a threat. As a true freshman last season, Hall claimed the starting quarterback’s job and started the final nine games for the Mean Green. He completed only 48.7 percent of his passes, but in the final four games had a quarterback rating of 123.60. Defensive end Chad McCarty has the most experience on the defensive line for the Horned Frogs. With defensive end Bo Schobel out, the Frogs will need McCarty more than originally planned. full story
		Keys to Victory 1 Get Dunbar the ball Junior receiver LaTarence Dunbar was virtually taken out of the game last week by the Nebraska defense. The Horned Frogs need to get its most explosive player touches. Dunbar is too fast, too agile and too athletic not to get the football. TCU has talked about putting Dunbar in the backfield occasionally to give him a chance to make plays. Maybe the Frogs should give it a few extra shots Saturday.
