We’ll all be pumped up to play them at home after last week.” In Oregon s last meeting with the Bulldogs, five Ducks were is sued yellow cards and Hebert was forced to leave the game with a red card. “I think we didn't play with as much composure as we should have, Oregon head coach Bill Steffen said. “If we play with com posure we play better, we keep the ball moving quickly. We just need to be able to do that all the time. We do it right now in spurts — we need to be much more consistent in putting out a good ef fort.” Gonzaga (1-5-2) outshot the Ducks 20 to 16 last week, but Hebert Turn to SOCCER, Page 23A Ducks take off for Washington without four key players ■ VULLEYBALL: Oregon faces No. 18 Washington and No. 10 Washington State this weekend By Andrea DeYoung Assistant Sports Editor In the midst of a week full of controversy, the Oregon volleyball team is concentrating on its games this week end against Washington and Washington State.
