net profit amount was
$155,633. He also said the trip
to the game was handled in ba
sically the same manner as reg
ular-season games as far who
attended the trip.
"We wanted to keep our offi
cial party to those persons who
were essential to the adminis
tration on the trip and the
game," he said. "Our goal was
to break even on our expenses.
In these difficult times, we feel
good about the financial out
come of the Independence
Bowl."

fere, Dante Lewis and Dino Philyaw, but expect both to contribute
right away, Lewis, a 6-foot-0, 175 lb. defensive back will enroll at
Oregon for spring term and participate in spring drills. Philyaw is a
5-foot-ll, 185 lb. running buck from Dudley. N.C. . who was timed
at 10:54 in the 100 meters last year.
Aaron Buckner. 6-foot-5. 185 lbs . is the only qunrterl>ack in the
class and was named all-city first team and all-county second team.
Buckner completed 116 of 227 passes for 1,647 yards and 21 touch
downs his final season.
"Buckner is tough and mobile." Brooks said "He is tall, so he
'should have no trouble seeing over the line. He is a talented quar
terback who I think can have a great future.”
The biggest of Oregon's new recruits is |oe Wells, one of four of
fensive linemen to sign with the Ducks. Wells. 6-foot-3. 315 lbs.
from Arroyo Grande, Calif., was one of the most recruited offensive
linemen in the country a year ago when he signed with Washing
ton. but he did not enroll in order to improve his academic stand
'"g
"Wells is unquestionably a great talent,” Brooks said. "He was a
top prospect on the offensive line in 1991 and he will be more fo
cused academically.”
David Weber (B-foot-5. 290 Uw ). Kyle Strait (6-foot-3, 250 lbs.)
and Andy Petty (fi-foot-4, 283 lbs.) are the other three offensive
linemen recruited. Desmond Byrd (6-foot-2, 255 lbs.) was the only
defensive lineman to sign with the Ducks.
Besides Wallace. Oregon added one wide receiver and two tight
ends. Jawanza Hadley. 6-foot-3. 195 lbs. caught 41 passes for 772
yards during his senior year at David Douglas and adds height to
Oregon’s recruiting corps
Tight end Matt Reinhardt was labeled as a sleeper by Brooks be
cause he came from a school that did not throw the hall much, but
he is expected to be an important part of Oregon's passing game in
the future. Oregon's other tight end is Blake Spence who was
named to the all-Westem Region by Blue Chip Illustrated.
Fullback Pulou Malepeai and running back James Reed close out
the recruits on offense. Malepeai signed with Oregon last year but
sat out the year before signing again this season. Reed rushed for
2,601 yards and 41 touchdowns during his two seasons at St.
Mary’s High School in Oakland.
With the status of comerback Alex Mol den uncertain after off
season surgery, Oregon signed three defensive backs in addition to
Lewis. F.ric Edwards set a school record for career interceptions
with 16 and was named first-team all-Big Nine Conference. Jaiya
Figueras. 6-foot-l. 190 lbs. and Ken Wheaton. 5-foot-9. 175 lbs.
round out the defensive backs
The Ducks added three linebackers from California, all of whom
received all-state recognition from Cal-Hi Sports. Matt Lofrano (6
foot-2. 200 lbs ). Curtis Moore (6-foot-l. 204 lbs.) and James Pepe
(6-foot-2. 220 lbs.) will add depth to Oregons linebacker corps.
"I think we have a good class." Brooks said. "I am not necessari
ly finished recruiting yet. we could add one or two more players.
Pass it on.
