This weekend that predica ment should leave the Ducks in a precarious position as both the men’s and women’s team head to Stanford. Calif., for tin? Ultimate Players Association Collegiate Regionals and a chance to qualify for the na tionals at the University of Pen nsylvania in Philadelphia. Hut the lack of competition in the Pacific Northwest hasn’t seemed to thwart the Ducks The men’s team, currently rank Karate club to host tourney The Oregon karate dub will host other club teams from Oregon. Washington and California in its l‘)H7 Spring Invita tional Tournament on Saturday in Room 220 of Cerlinger Hall. Preliminary competition runs from 11 a m. to 4 p in., with tin* final rounds set to begin at five. Club members will compete for their teams, but they will also be judged in two individual events — kata, or pre-arranged artistic movements, and Kumite, which is one-on-one combat.

The men’s lacrosse squad turned back the University ot Washington, 5-4. in the Pacific Northwest Lacrosse Associa tion Tournament in Portland last Saturday.

This will he the first year at regionals for the less-experienced women’s program. ‘‘It affects us to some degree,” explained Michael Wing, who coordinates the team along with Jay Jannin. “Climate has a little to do with it A lot of the California teams are going strong throughout the winter, so we’re at a disadvan tage there. "But when spring rolls around, we're pumped to play.” Despite the lack of teams in the area, Wing believes there is still <i place for ultimate frishee in the Northwest. "The only tiling we lack are large popula tion areas,’' Wing said And how. While the Ducks have to travel frequently in order to play, there are an estimated 20 teams in the San I rani 1 sc o Hay Area alone. So it is even that more impressive that Oregon will he the only non-Californian team in the regional tournament. Although the men's team, 2.r>-lo, suffered a letdown this season alter losing some of its more experienced players to graduation, Wing said his team’s goal of taking a repeat trip to the national tournament is within reason. “This is what we've been Turn to Ultimate, Page 8 r Second Hand Clothing NEED CASH?
