Turnovers kill the Cardinal In its last two games, Stanford turned the ball over 10 times By Ryan Frank Sports Editor How quick the mighty fall. Stanford was apparently on its way to a battle for the conference title, having won four of its first five, its only loss coming to cur rent-No. 4 North Carolina in Chapel Hill. But after only two short weeks, and two quick losses, Stanford finds itself in the middle of the heap of the Pacific-10 Conference with a 2-2 record in conference play. How can a team seemingly des tined fora late-season showdown with Washington State fora possi ble Rose Bowl berth now be a mid dle-of-the-road team? The answer is easy: turnovers. At Arizona on Oct. 11, the Car dinal fumbled the ball eight times, losing five of them. Then against Arizona State at home last Satur day, Stanford fumbled the ball away three times and threw two interceptions. “Turn the ball over and you put yourself in a hole, and it’s hard to find your way out of it,” quarter back Chad Hutchinson told The Stanford Daily. The lack of a rushing game against Arizona State hurt the Car dinal. Stanford, whose running back tandem of Anthony Bookman and FOOTBALL Pac-10Notes Michael Mitchell had a string of three straight games with 100 yards each at one point this sea son, gained only 44 yards in 31 at tempts against the Sun Devil de fense, which ranks third in the conference against the run. The Cardinal has a bye this week, but has upcoming games against UCLA at home, Southern California in Los Angeles and Washington State in Pullman. Suddenly, a schedule that looked so mediocre a few weeks ago is looking like a death trap for the Cardinal. Super fan If you thought it was hard work getting to all the Ducks' home games this season, think what 90 year-old Giles Pellerin has gone through for the last 71 years. Pellerin, a Pasadena resident, has not missed a USC game, home or away, since the start of the 1926 season. He has seen every one of the Trojans’ 781 games since 1926, traveling more than 650,000 miles and spending more than $85,000. He has seen all 28 Rose Bowls the Trojans have played in and every USC-UCLA and USC-Notre Dame game. Up and back down After losing to Louisiana Tech on Oct. 4, California seemed to be in shambles. The loss to the Bulldogs left the Cal coaches wondering, not when, but ifthe team could recover, or if maybe the Golden Bears just did n't have the recruits or firepower to compete in the Pac-10. But the following week against Washington, things looked like they have fallen back in line for Cal. The porous Cal defense that was picked apart by the Bulldogs’ passing game held the Huskies to just seven first-half points and trailed by only four at the break. While the Bears gave up 23 sec ond-half points to lose 30-3, the coaches were pleased with the players' effort and competitive ness. Well, throw all that out the win dow now. Last Saturday against Washing ton State, the Bears may as well not have made the trip to Pullman. The Cougars scored 56 unan swered points to take a 56-6 lead and eventually won the game 63 37. Washington State averaged 9.5 yards per play and scored more touchdowns (nine) than had ever been scored on a Cal defense. Bears 1 inebacker Matt Beck was injured and did not play, but he did not withhold his feelings after the game. "What happens out there isn’t because of talent,” Beck told the The Daily Californian. “What hap pens is because we don’t play like it means something for us to wear a California jersey.” Hansen: Another 49er blowout, anybody? » Continued from Page 7 years they have been crammed down my throat by local affiliates who think a team located 500 miles away is considered regional. Is there really such a San Francisco stronghold here in Eugene that every 49er blowout has to be televised instead of some other, more competitive contest? Hey, if San Francisco is playing Dallas, or Green Bay, or Minnesota, I’ll watch it because it has the possibility of being a good game. Same with Seattle for that matter — but to a much lesser degree. I think football fans in this town would rather watch a game that is competitive and exciting, no matter who is playing, than watch another blowout by the same team every week. Oh, by the way, San Francisco plays New Orleans on Sunday. What a perfect day to sleep in. Chris Hansen is the assistant sports editor for the Emerald. Duck: Players impressed Hi Continued from Page 7 Tigers, and been happy. But the idea of playing for the Ducks grew on her, especially after the Ducks’ three-point loss to national power Stanford. Thanks to the Ducks' perfor mance and atmosphere at McArthur Court against Stan ford, O'Brien decided to stay with the Ducks and pay back the $3,000 she earned. “I just have a huge amount of admiration for Natasha O’Brien," Oregon bead coach )ody Runge says. “I was really flabbergasted when she said she was going to stay. I think that’s a very strong statement about her character and about the way she feels about this team and being here.” O’Brien left Eugene after win ter term last year and worked two jobs at home in Adelaide, Australia, borrowed money from her mother and used some money she had saved up to pay back the $3,000. In recent years, Oregon has be come a serious power i n the Pac 10, but why would O'Brien want to put that much time and effort into coming back to Oregon? “I just look forward to play ing in front of the crowd,” j O'Brien says. “It was an amaz ing feeling at the Stanford game, the crowd and the atmosphere. I was just itching to get out there, and I sort of have visions of that going into this season.” That was not all that motivat ed O’Brien to make the long and arduous journey back to Eugene, one which her friends in Australia could not initially understand. The 22-year-old junior said she wants to play professional ly either in the United States or Europe and the exposure here offers her a greater chance of re alizing her dream. But to get to that next level, O’Brien will have to prove her self at Oregon, which is not go ing to be a problem according to her teammates. “She's very creative," says fel low Australian and Oregon point guard Natalie Hughes. "She’s a little deceiving. She is quick, creative and can shoot. She hits some ridiculous shots.” Jenny Mowe, Oregon's 6 foot-5 sophomore center, says O'Brien is such a dependent scorer she would be willing to pass the ball out to her. “I’d kick the ball out to her knowing that she’s going to score," Mowe says. Runge agrees with her players. “She brings a lot of savvy and is a great scorer, competitor and is capable of hitting shots," Runge says. “She worked hard in the off-season and has some thing to prove when she steps on the court this year." O'Brien’s teammates aren’t the only ones who think she can hold her own in thetough Pac-10. “I’ve seen what the standard is like, and I’m pretty confident in my ability to do what's re quired," O’Brien says. While taking the 1906 season off was not what O'Brien had in mind when she decided to come to Oregon, she now sees it as a mixed blessing. “When I came here last year, it was overwhelming," O’Brien says. "Having a year to learn how things work was just to my advantage." What else may be to her ad vantage is shooting well from behind the three-point line. O’Brien has a bet with the women’s basketball sports infor mation director that if she does n’t shoot better than 46 percent from behind the three-point line for the season, O’Brien will have toshave herhead. A rough kite forO’Brien’s fail ure to shoot the fourth-highest three-point percentage for a sin gle season in Oregon history. But if she did reach that 45 percent mark, maybe the year long wait will be validated.
