Ducks to host UW, WSU By Steve Turcotte Ot the Emerald Chris Voelz, the Oregon volleyball coach, knows that this is a crucial weekend for the Ducks For starters, even though Oregon is 0-2 in league, it is still early in the NorPac Conference volleyball season, giving the Ducks a chance to get a few wins under their belts before it's too late Second, it is one of the first Duck home volleyball matches, and Voelz is hoping that volleyball fans will flock to McArthur Court Friday and Saturday nights On Friday the Ducks, 7-6 overall, will take on a tall and talented University of Washington team Saturday the Ducks will play host to Washington State Both matches begin at 7:30 p.m "Washington is probably the most physically dominating team at the net that we will play this year." said Voelz. "They have real tall players We know our coverage has got to be keen to be able to pick up their blocks " The Duck coverage will be spiced with two new faces in the starting rotation due to injur ies Hayes, Ducks to run at Salem By Marcus Prater Of the Emerald Oregon All-American Kathy Hayes will run in her first meet of the cross country season Sat urday when the Ducks travel to Salem for the Willamette Invita tional Hayes, a victim of a strained Achilles tendon that kept her from running in the Ducks' first two meets, “seemed near 100 percent,” according to cross country coach Tom Heinonen "She ran an excellent work out Tuesday, and its just a matter of getting back into competition," Heinonen said of the sophomore Another key runner for Oregon Saturday will be Lisa Martin Martin, a two-time All American, dropped out of the 5,000 meter race at the Garrie Franklin Classic — Oregon's season-opening meet Sept 25 The junior did not compete in last week's Cal Invitational. “Martin needs to regain her competitive edge, Heinonen said Oregon’s best two runners thus far — Rosa Gutierrez and Eryn Forbes — will sit this meet out, but freshmen Kim Roth and Gretchen Nelson are running for the third straight week "Most racers, if they feel good about their races, would rather run every two weeks But it is acceptable tor both freshman to run, because they were used to that in high school. Heinonen said "Later in the year they will run every other week — which is typical." Oregon should not be ser iously challenged for the team title, even without its top run ners Oregon State, some small schools and a few members of the Oregon Track Club are ex pected to participate in the meet "We're in two different leagues," Heinonen said of his team and the competition. "The only thing I know about Oregon State is that I don't think they signed anybody this season for their track or cross country teams Last year we handled them easy " The competition and the 5.000 meter course is fairly easy, but Heinonen said, "Every race is a stepping stone This has importance, because it is the second race for most every one. Every time a race is run it is important This week is also beneficial for the Ducks who aren't run ning They will have a 15-day break before the Oregon Track Club Invitational Oct 17 "This break allows them (Ducks) to train hard and still get in a day or two of rest If they would have ran this week there would be very little time for resting, and I like them to rest before a race," Heinonen said Buy two patterns GET ONE FREE Simplicity* McCalls* Butterick Oct 7 - Oct 24 htUffiErfS ..doth and Clothing . 2441 Hitycrd 345-1324 jb£i VWs-MERCEDES-BMWs DATSUN-TOYOTA-AUDI Reliable service for your foreign car 342-2912 2025 Franklin Bivd Eugene, Oregon RECYCLED BIKE WORK'S. r econdi t ioned& new bicycles, repairs, parts - - accessories. 774E.ll»h 9 to 6 M thru Sat. 485-5886 2 blocks from U ot O !
