Ducks start tough stretch with Cal ■ FOOTBALL: Done with :s non-conference schedule. Oregon faces six Pacific 10 Conference foes in the second half of its season By Trevor Kearney Spam £»•*«* After playing three non-con ference teams in its first five games, the Oregon football team starts the second half of Is s« on - t of its season — Saturday at Berkeley against California. The l)u< ks (4-1 overall. 1-t Pae-tO) face six straight games against Pacific-10 Conference opponents starting with the Golden Bears, a team that has given the Out ks some trouble in the past. "I really look at it as a second season for us beginning this week, because we play six con secutive league games now. three at home and three on the road." head coach Mike Hellotli said. "I think that there is a pretty good resolve and under standing of what we need to do. of plnving one game at a time, of respecting your opponent and of understanding that the Pac-10 is the Pac-10 "And that means automati cally. every game that there is no load that is big enough and you are never out of a game. Hut the set ond season begins Saturday." The Ducks know very well the unpredictability of Pac-10 play, with one of the biggest lessons they have learned com ing when they visited the Bears two years ago and blew a 30 point lend California lends the series 34 23-2. but according to Bellotti. the past is the past and the Ducks are focused on the pre sent. "1 don’t think you can take away the feeling, the frustration r . — involved in I hat game from ! h dm' players (hat were involved in that same.'' Beilotti slid “Hut that is the past We •■'an‘l change it, the only thing we can do is team from it and make sure it doesn't happen again." And comparisons to two years ago. Beilotti point tel out. aren't really valid because of the makeup of this year's team "Probably two-thirds of our players went not involved in it. don't know anything about it." Beilotti said, adding that the memory of the loss could be used as motivation "If any thing else it probably just ought to make them mad and make them want to pay ba« k that sit Ufttion Oregon has suffered several injuries that could play major roles in the Ducks' performance on Saturday Sophomore ku kor Matt Balden is still out with an injury to his right leg. and sophomore fulltmi k A J {elks is still unavailable because of a fractured left foot Senior defensive end Troy Bailey is also sidelined with a bruised left knee In addition, the Ducks had three key players who were suf faring from nagging injuries that kept them out of practice earlier this week in senior tail back Hit ky Whittle, senior cor nerbac k Ales Molded and junior cornerbock I.aMont Woods "I don't think our health is great." Beilotti said, adding that Whittle. Molden and Woods would play against California "VVe still have an extensive injured list thut is longer than 1 would like it VVe are down about eight to It) players that we need, but I think a handful of those guys should all be track."
