Penn State Disciplines 10 Players
Penn State disciplined 10 players for their roles in an off-campus fight in which at least two people were hurt. The university confirmed that four players were temporarily expelled from July 1 through the end of the summer semester in mid-August for their roles in the April 1 fight. The players’ names were not released because of federal confidentiality laws, the university said, but defense lawyers have identified the four as safety Anthony Scirrotto, defensive lineman Chris Baker, linebacker Jerome Hayes and cornerback Lydell Sargeant. Two other players were put on permanent probation and ordered to attend counseling, and four were put on probation for a year. The discipline is separate from any punishment Coach Joe Paterno may impose.

Jockey Suspended for Kicking Horse
A jockey who kicked his horse in the stomach was suspended 30 days and fined $1,000 by Philadelphia Park officials, his agent said. The decision against the jockey, Victor Molina, came three days after his 40-minute disciplinary hearing for kicking the 2-year-old colt Yes Yes Ohyes in the stomach before a race. Molina’s agent, David Yannuzzy, said he was considering an appeal because the decision was too severe. Yannuzzy blamed the officials for overreacting because Molina’s kick was televised, prompting fans who saw the act to call the track and complain.
