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

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

"It pumps everybody up to
