Halverson: Some NFL highlights
come from where you least expect it
agents it will not have enough money under the
salary cap because every decent player’s salary is
too high. It has been proven (with the Bulls of the
past) that the one superstar system doesn't work.
Premium NBA players will either have to take a cut
in pay to play with a good team or just suffer with
perpetual losing seasons.
The National Hockey League is up and coming,
but it will take a lot more exposure before it attains a
level that the other three major professional sports
have reached at one point or another. The NHL
didn’t learn anything from the baseball strike and
almost careened down the same path of the suicidal
strike with a player lockout, but pulled things out in
the last minute to salvage a nearly full season. Last
year’s NHL playoffs did a lot to bolster the ability of
hockey to capture an American audience’s atten
tion, but unless you’re a die-hard fan there isn’t the
name recognition of hockey stars like that of the oth
er three sport’s stars.
That leaves the NFL with a big responsibility that
it is handling wonderfully so far. Pick up fans where
other sports are' slacking.
In the past five or six seasons, the NFL has been
mediocre at best in providing excitement due to the
San Francisco-Dallas rivalry, mainly because both
are NFC juggernauts. Granted, those teams are still
going to compete for the Super Bowl this season,
but their dominating presence over the rest of the
league is not so dominating this season. Teams
such as Green Bay, Minnesota, and Washington in
the NFC and Denver, Indianapolis and Buffalo in
the AFC have only one loss after the sixth week of
play. Who would have guessed?
The sixth week of play was one of the better
weeks in recent memory. Seven out of eleven games
were decided by eight points or less, including two
in overtime.
Unknown players were coming out of the wood
work, making big-time plays. Joe Aska led Oakland
in rushing with 136 yards and a touchdown, and Ja
mal Anderson almost single-handedly brought At
lanta back from a 28-point deficit to make it close
against Detroit. Anderson rushed for 103 yards on
16 carries and made the Lions’ defense look like a
bunch of girl scouts. Buffalo’s back-up quarterback,
Todd Collins, led the Bills to an overtime victory
over Indianapolis, throwing for 309 yards and a
touchdown. And the Seahawks second stringer,
John Friesz, threw for 301 yards and three TDs in
Seattle’s upset of Miami.
Along with these emerging stars are the steadfast
veterans that perform year in and year out. This
week, Buffalo’s Thurman Thomas became only the
11th player in history to rush for 10,000 yards.
Nick Lowry, one of the Jets’ few bright spots,
kicked his 373rd career field goal, tying Jan
Stenerud’s all-time field goal record.
This will be the first year that the Super Bowl will
be totally up for grabs. Even the AFC delegate will
have a legitimate chance of winning this year. Stick
with your favorite teams (unless you’re a Jets fan)
and you will find yourself caught up in a January
madness. Guaranteed.

Oregon golf places
fifth at Rolex Preview
■ WOMEN’S GOLF: Karen
Bristow’s 32nd-place finish
leads all Oregon
competitors
By Ryan Halvorsen
Sports Reporter
The Oregon women’s golf
team held its ground against
tough competition at the Rolex
Fall Preview in Columbus,
Ohio this past weekend.
The Ducks finished in fifth
place overall, 25 shots behind
top-rated Arizona, a big ac
complishment considering the
caliber of the rest of the field.
The 19th-ranked Oregon team
finished ahead of second
ranked San Jose State and
fourth-ranked UCLA.
Oregon faced adverse condi
tions on the first day, playing
in 34-degree weather and
strong winds, but managed to
stay in the hunt. Kylie Wilson
shot a four-over par 76 to tie
for sixth place individually,
leading the Ducks to a tie for
tenth place.
Anika Heuser and Paula Pat
terson led Oregon on a huge
comeback in the second
round. Heuser shot a tourna
ment-best two-under par 70
and Patterson finished with
the second-best round of the
tournament just one shot be
hind. The team finished the
second round with a 297, the
lowest score of the tournament
and moved into second place
overall.
Patterson finished off the fi
nal round strong with a even
par 72, tying Janice Moodie of
San Jose State for fourth place
overall. Heuser, Wilson and
the rest of the Ducks, Karen
Bristow and Tara Keller, were
off of the pace in the final
round, all shooting in the mid
to-lower 80s, dropping the
Ducks back into fifth place.
Bristow finished in a tie for
32nd place, Wilson tied for
33rd, Heuser finished in a tie
for 40th and Keller tied for
58th overall.
Top-rated Arizona led in all
three rounds of the tourna
ment, finishing 15 shots ahead
of Wake Forest for the victory.
Marisa Baena won the tour
nament with a three-over par
219, edging out Duke’s Jenny
Chuasiripom by one stroke.
The powerful Arizona team
finished with four-of-their-five
golfers in the top twenty to eas
ily take the victory.
