suffering from a minor shoulder injury.
Ducks meet California in key game
By Ashley Conklin
Emerald Sports Editor
When California and Oregon have met on the
football field in past years, little has been at stake
except for maybe which team would have three
wins instead of two.
This is a different season though, and when the
Golden Bears and Ducks meet at 1 p m. Saturday
in Berkeley. Calif., a bowl game is on the line for
Cal while both teams are fighting for second
place in the Pacific-10 Conference.
Oregon. 7-2 overall and 3-2 in the Pac-10,
seemingly has a howl game clinched already,
having accepted a tentative offer from the Free
dom Bowl. Cal (5-3-1 overall and 3-2-1 in the
conference) meanwhile, needs at least a win
against the Ducks or Stanford next week to secure
a Copper Bowl bid.
While Oregon was in a bowl game last season.
Cal hasn't been to post-season action since 1979.
when the Golden Bears lost to Temple in the Gar
den State Bowl. 28-17
In fact. Cal was 4-7 last season and hasn't been
above 500 since it went 7-4 under |oe Kapp in
1982
"I think they're clearly the most improved
team in the league." Oregon Coach Rich Brooks
said. "I think this team has a lot of weapons, a lot
of talent.
"Cal has a great deal to gain in this game if
they can beat us." he said "They can move back
into second place in the league, and in all prob
ability secure a bowl bid."

ception of IJCl.A and Stan
ford." Gregory said. "They
are all hig and can jump
high."
The Cougars split last
weekend's matches with a
win over Cal and a loss to
Stanford, and are tied with
Oregon for seventh place in
the conference. Washington
State defeated the Ducks in
three straight games Oct. 13
- a match that started Ore
gon's six-match conference
slide
"They've got some good
hitters,” Gregory said.
"Hopefully we will be ready
for them because we are
healthier than we were last
time."
The Ducks will have the
complete services of Dawnn
Charroin and Ali Watkins
this weekend. Both were
slowed by ankle sprains dur
ing the last two weeks. Re
serve Jennifer McGinnis,
however, is out for the sea
son with a broken ankle she
sustained two weeks ago.
“We are healthy and we
have had some good prac
tices.” Gregory said. "We
approach both of these
matches the same. We are
going to try to work on our
play, and if we don't we will
1m* in trouble.”
