Frisbee team plans for ultimate
By Dennis Fernandes
Of thr Kmerald
Sometimes the only opponent
that Oregon’s ultimate frisbee
club sports team ever faces is
itself.
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 Oregon baseball club dropped both ends of a double
header to I.inn-Benton Community College last Sunday, H-2
and 5-3. It is scheduled to play at Lane Community College
today at 3 p in.
“Bubba’s,” the Oregon women’s soccer team, fell to 3-2
after losing to Springfield, 3-0, Monday night. They play
Rennies at Cal Young School this Monday at (> p in.
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. They were beaten
soundly in their next match, 2 1-2, by eventual champion Vic
toria. The club will host Williamette University for a 1 p m
game next to Hayward Field.
The women’s lightweight varsity 4-rower and the men’s
novice 8-rower squads captured top spots for the Oregon
crew team at the Portland Regatta last weekend. The men’s
lightweight varsity 4-rower and the men’s varsity 8-rower
teams captured second place, while the women’s varsity
8-rower team got third. Oregon has this weekend off before
hosting the Northwest Championships at Fern Ridge
Reservoir May 0.
ml eighth in the country, cap
tured second at the regionals
last year, good enough to
qualify for the national tourna
ment in St. Louis, where it
finished fifth. 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.
