OFFBEAT\Here's a whopper of a losing streak.

At one point, all teams have been in a losing streak. Maybe two, maybe three, maybe even 10 games.

For the Rutgers-Camden men's basketball team it is 99 - and counting. The team has lost all 15 of its games this season and is stigmatized by holding the nation's longest college losing streak.

The Division III Pioneers haven't won since Jan. 18, 1992, when they defeated Ramapo College 74-73 at home. Today, William Paterson will try to hand Rutgers-Camden its 100th straight defeat.

"I know that 100 looks big. Everybody knows about the streak," said coach Ray Pace. "We really believe that eventually our luck is going to change. But we just don't want to get one win and be satisfied."

The Pioneers weren't satisfied last season when the NJAC ruled that Rowan College used an ineligible player in the team's Jan. 18 meeting and would have to forfeit its 85-56 win.

Instead of taking the handout, Wilson decided to keep Camden's record winless, because he didn't want a "gift."

Candy man: David Robinson has reached the height of sweetness. A candy bar has been named for him.

The San Antonio Spurs center have introduced the David Robinson Bar, a confection containing peanuts, caramel and milk chocolate, to a group of high school students at the Alamodome.

The candy will be sold through schools to raise money for student activities and equipment.

Up in smoke: Sam Young's celebrity status has taken a turn toward notoriety.

Young gained fame when he was fired for wearing a Green Bay Packers shirt to his job in a grocery store before the NFC Championship Game. But then, he was arrested for alleged possession of marijuana.

Among the first to call at news of his arrest was a representative of Late Night with David Letterman, telling Young not to bother coming to New York.

Young said he'll miss the attention generated by his firing from the grocery store, but said it was causing so much stress that smoking marijuana seemed the only way to relax.

Warming up: England's Newbury racecourse has come up with a new idea for jockeys - Rudolph, the mechanical horse.

The jockeys' changing room is to get the "Ride Away," a device which will give riders the chance to get cold muscles into shape for the first race.

The mechanical horse, designed by jockey Richard Perham, also allows riders to improve their style and whip handling.

Jockey Club chief medical officer Michael Turner said: "All other athletes warm up and it does seem strange that we haven't seen a mechanical horse at a racecourse before.

"I've often heard jockeys say that they're just getting warmed up by the second race. Hopefully this will be a thing of the past.
