NEW ORLEANS — Mewelde Moore, Tulane's
record-setting running back, will be honored with a special recognition
during halftime of the Green Wave's game today with East Carolina in the
Louisiana Superdome.

leading rusher and all-purpose yardage leader, owns 24 school records and
will also be honored prior to Saturday's game along with the 10 other
members of Tulane's 2003 senior class.
The separate halftime ceremony to honor
Moore will include video highlights, the unfurling of a movable banner
bearing his name and number, and a presentation to the Baton Rouge senior.

sidelined for the last three games of the season.

2,000 receiving yards during their collegiate careers. He finished with
4,364 rushing and 2,059 receiving yards for a total of 6,505 all-purpose
yards, achieving a ranking of 11th on the all-time all-purpose yardage list
