Duck runners win big
By Dave Chartoonneau
Fmofaid Sports Reportof
The fourth-ranked Oregon
men's cress country team had
three of the top 10 finishers
hi route to capturing the team
title this weekend at the
8.000-meter Montana West
( lassie m Missoula
It was an important win for
the Ducks, who triumphed
over a talented field of teams
Including third-ranked Texas,
1 4 t h - r a n k u d Washington
State, and 17th-ranked Weber
State.
Senior All-Americans Pat
Haller and Colin Dalton led
the way for Oregon, finishing
third and sixth, respectively
Haller finished with a time ot
24:4(>, and Dalton came in at
24:58
Sophomore Andy Maris ran
his second strong rat e in as
many weeks, finishing ninth
with a 25:00 time. The other
st aring runners for the Ducks
were junior l ye Van Schoiai k
(2 1st) and senior Shannon
femora (24th).
The Ducks finished with (>:t
points, comfortably defeating
second-place Weber Statu
with B2 and third-place Mon
tana with 8 7. Texas and
Washington State struggled,
claiming fourth and fifth
pla< e, respectively
Washington Stall! runner
Josephal Kapkory was one
bright spot for the Cougars,
taking the individual title
with a time 24:12*t He was fol
lowed by Montana's David
Morris at 2 1 42
Junior Tim Julian (25) and
sophomore Coley Candaele
(:ir>) rounded out the Due k fin
ishers at the meet
The win was an impressive
one for the Ducks in more
ways than one: Not only did
the win come against some of
the top teams in the; nation,
but it was also the first moot
of the season for some of the
Duck runners.
Haller, Dalton, and Lemora
all sat out the first meet of the
season at last week's Kmerald
City Invitational to give Coach
Bill Dellinger a chance to look
at the rest of the squad. The
result was a third-place finish
at the meet
Brooks said ho thought the
call was a had (mo. "It ap
peared to bo the ground that
caused the fumble." he said.
O'Neil then took the Ducks
70 yards in 12 plays, including
an 10-yard play to tight end Jeff
Thomason O'Neil completed
six passes in a row at one point
McCollum's 27-yard field
goal gave Oregon a (i d lead af
ter the drive stalled.
The Trojans then went 50
yards in eight plays, tying the
score with another Ford field
goal.
Ford's 57-yard attempt with
dll seconds left in the half was
well short.
O'Neil's second straight less
then sterling performance again
opens up tin! quarturbai k ques
lion, which appeared to be old
news after the redshlrt fresh
man's strong showings in the
wins over Washington State
and Texas Tech.
"I would say Danny O'Neil's
still our quarterback," Brooks
said. "We took the opportunity
to look at some other people,
and we will analyze tho film,
hut right now it's Danny
O'Neil's job.”
O'Neil finished the game
with Ilf) vards on 1 () of 21
passing.
Oregon offensive coordinator
Mike Bellotti said the; quarter
hacks will girt a lot of attention
at practice this week
"The last two games have
opened things up for close
scrutiny.” Bellotti said.
