MUNICH - Bayern Munich hopes to complete the transfer of Real Madrid defender Xabi Alonso in the next day or two, club officials said Thursday. Bayern financial director Jan-Christian Dreesen said Alonso and Bayern have "in principle" agreed on a transfer and that Alonso was expected in Munich on Thursday for his medical. "We are in friendly and final talks with Real Madrid and hopefully we will reach an agreement in a day or two," Dreesen said at a news conference. Alonsos expected transfer was announced one day after Bayern signed defender Mehdi Benatia from Roma. Alonso won the 2008 and 2012 European Championship and the 2010 World Cup with Spain before retiring from the national team this week after making 114 appearances. The 32-year-old Alonso has been with Real Madrid since 2009 and won the Champions League with the club in May. Madrid knocked out title holder Bayern in the semifinals. "We believe that its necessary for our team and to meet the expectations of our fans and the entire club," Bayern director Matthias Sammer said of Alonsos expected move to the Bavarian capital. Alonso would be the fifth Spaniard to play for Bayern, whose coach is another Spaniard, Pep Guardiola. Other Spaniards on the team are Javi Martinez, Thiago Alcantara, Pepe Reina and Juan Bernat. Martinez is out for six months with a knee injury and Thiago is also not expected to return before October. In addition, midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger is out for several weeks with a lingering knee injury. Despite the injury problems, Bayern won its Bundesliga opener 2-1 against Wolfsburg.

Mike Tobey had 15 points and 10 rebounds, as the No. 5 ranked team dominated Harvard, 76-27, at John Paul Jones Arena. Malcolm Brogdon also scored 15 for Virginia (11-0), which is off to its best start since the 1992-93 season. Harvard is a lot better than they showed, Virginia coach Tony Bennett said. Mike Tobey got us off to great start offensively, and defensively we were ready. We prepared well this week in practice and had great respect for Harvard, but you could see they were sluggish and had one of their poorer games. The Cavaliers entered the day ranked second in the nation in scoring defense (47.9 ppg), behind only Kentucky (47.7 ppg). Virginia has held opponents under 70 points in a nation-leading 17 consecutive contests. It was also the second time this season the Cavaliers held an opponent under 30 points. They beat Rutgers, 45-26, on Nov. 29. Corbin Miller scored eight for Harvard (7-2), which shot 16 percent (8-of-50) from the field in its first game since a 12-day layoff for final exams. The Crimson had a six-game winning streak snapped. Harvard went 1-of-20 from the floor in the first half. That ties an NCAA record with Northern Illinois for fewest field goals in a half. The Huskies were 1-of-31 against Eastern Michigan on Jan. 26, 2013. Wesley Saunders, who came into the game at an impressive 20.1 ppg to pace the Ivy League, was held to four on 0-for-7 shooting. We were hopeful that we could break through and come away from a few possessions without hanging our head, Harvard coach Tommy Amaker said. Sometimes, its hard to get that energy on the other end when you start to sulk and hang your head a little bit. Thats normal human nature, especially when our best offensive player had a very tough afternoon. The Cavaliers opened a 7-0 lead, and Tobey accounted forr UVAs first nine points.ddddddddddddThe Crimson had a difficult time getting off clean looks at the basket, and had a stretch of nearly 20 minutes without a field goal. Zena Edosomwans layup with 16:31 remaining put Harvard on the board, but the Crimson didnt hit another shot the rest of the half and faced a 39-8 deficit at the break. Tobey led the way by making all six of his field-goal attempts and compiled all of his points by the break. Virginia, which went 16-of-26 from the floor in the first 20 minutes, scored 14 in a row for a 30-4 cushion. Brogdons jumper capped the burst. Harvards first-half performance was being compared to UCLAs 3-of-37 effort in the opening 20 minutes of an 83-44 loss to No. 1 Kentucky on Saturday. The Bruins were behind 41-7 at the break in that contest. The eight points in a half ties the fewest by an opponent in the history of John Paul Jones Arena, which opened in time for the 2006-07 season. Harvards second field goal didnt come until 16:38 left in the game, when Steve Moundou-Missi converted a layup and was fouled by Justin Anderson. That ended a stretch of 20 straight misses. Moundou-Missi made the free throw for a 45-12 margin. The Cavaliers widened the gap to 56-15 with 12:09 left following a Marial Shayok layup. Defensively, this has to be our standard now, Tobey said. We did a great job executing our defensive game plan. Harvard is a great team, preseason top-25 and very talented, but I think we did a good job holding them.

Both the Cardinals and Dodgers were shaped by Hall of Fame executive Branch Rickey. With the Cardinals in the 1920s and 30s, Rickey established the first farm system; then with the Brooklyn Dodgers, he signed Jackie Robinson, who broke baseballs colour barrier in 1947.In building a contender in recent years, the Cardinals have relied on the tool Rickey pioneered nearly a century ago — a solid pipeline of talent from their farm system. The Dodgers have relied more on high-priced stars. Which approach is better? This series could help answer that question.
