mate, Kyle Kovacs, also finished in the top five for
the Gauchos by tying for fifth with a 214 total.
Oregon’s Ben Crane and Adrian Burtnertied for
50th place as the Ducks’ highest individual finish
ers. They both shot a 225 total that was 14 strokes
off Takemoto’s high.
Crane, who is ranked No. 56 in the nation, shot a
final-round 77, while Burtner completed play with
an 80 in the last round. Burtner was tied for 22nd
and Crane tied for 43rd heading into Tuesday’s
round.
The other Oregon participants were Chris Cone,
Ryan Lavoie and Nick Davey. Cone and Lavoie
tied for 61st, one stroke behind Crane and Burtner,
with a score of 226. Davey tied for 95th by shooting
237.
Other Pacific-10 Conference teams in the tour
nament were Washington, California and Stan
ford. The Huskies tied for third with an 876 total,
the Golden Bears finished eighth with 879 and the
Cardinal ended up in 15th with a team score of
895.
The Ducks will seek redemption when they fly
south to play in the U.S. Intercollegiate Tourna
ment at Stanford beginning Saturday.
Augusta honors Nicklaus’ 40th Masters
A plaque listing Jack
Nicklaus' achievements
will be placed at
Augusta golf club
By John Diamond
The Associated Press
AUGUSTA, Ga. — Clad- in a
green jacket, basking in applause,
Jack Nicklaus choked back tears
Tuesday as Augusta National
Golf Club honored his 40th ap
pearance in the Masters.
It was, perhaps, the only chok
ing he has done over this rolling
landscape.
“The Masters was not just a
golf tournament. It was really
something special,” Nicklaus said
as Augusta National chairman
Jack Stephens displayed a plaque
summarizing the Golden Bear’s
exploits here. “My wife, Barbara
...” Then he stopped, his voice
cracking.
The scene was Augusta’s prac
tice chipping green, just to one
side of Magnolia Lane, and a
thousand or more spectators,
many of them Augusta members
in their own green jackets,
choked back their own tears as
they watched. Nicklaus stood at
the lectern as his wife, Barbara,
Stephens, and announcer Pat
Summerall sat to one side.
“This doesn’t happen very of
ten in a lifetime, to be able to
share something like what is hap
pening to me at Augusta,” Nick
laus said. Still the words would
n’t come. He grabbed a glass of ice
water from Stephens — “Thank
you, Jack — is there anything in
this?" he joked. “I didn’t realize I
was this sentimental.”
In fact, Nicklaus isn’t terribly
sentimental. He looks at video
tapes of his stirring 1986 Masters
triumph not to bathe in nostalgia
but to pick up swing keys. And
rather than announcing the end
of his major championship career
ahead of time and making it a
walk down memory lane, he says
that he’ll retire when he feels he
can no longer contribute or com
pete.
Augusta loves sentiment and
tradition, and so Nicklaus’ plaque
will be placed by a water fountain
between Augusta’s 16th green
and 17th tee.
Stephens said the Masters com
mittee members had a hard time
deciding where to place the
plaque because “every hole on
this course has been enhanced by
his remarkable achievements.”
A seven-paragraph summary
on the plaque offers only the
briefest summary of Nicklaus’
Augusta record: his scoring
records, his six victories framed
by his first championship in 1963
in which he became the youngest
Masters winner and his latest in
1986, when he became the oldest.
The words of Masters founder
Bobby Jones describing Nicklaus’
record-setting performance of
1965 are engraved in bronze.
“Jack is playing an entirely dif
ferent game — a game with which
I’m not familiar,” Jones said.
Stephens added as an aside that
the world is now quite familiar
with Nicklaus’ game, “but we’re
no less amazed.”
Tiger Woods, 22, has since be
come the youngest Masters cham
pion.
“I can’t even fathom being, you
know, that old,” Woods said of
the 58-year-old Nicklaus. “He’s
played here 40 years now. That’s
almost twice my life.”
Indeed, Nicklaus was a three
time winner in the 1960s before
Woods was bom.
Woods and Nicklaus hold
much in common. Both players
revolutionized the game with
their length, making carefully
placed hazards obsolete. And
both forced Augusta organizers to
make changes in the golf course
designed to hold the long
bombers in check.
“With my length, the hazards
weren’t there,” Nicklaus said. “I
hit it over everything, same as he
does."
Nicklaus was hitting more
around than over things in a prac
tice round with Arnold Palmer on
Tuesday. Neither played particu
larly well. Palmer four-putted the
11th green and Nicklaus made no
one-putt birdies. But he did lace
2-irons onto the par-5 13th and
15 th greens, shades of his
younger self.
The bronze plaque has an air of
permanence about it, appearing
to mark the end of the Nicklaus
era, and that, Nicklaus conceded,
may have been one reason for the
emotions. But, Stephens said,
“We have taken the precaution of
leaving a little extra space at the
bottom of the plaque, just in
case.”
PSU: Ducks shut out
Vikings in Game 2

is an opportunity.
“[The Ducks] are twice the
team they were last year,” Mariani
said. “They are strong defensive
ly and have greatly improved
their hitting. We hope we can hit
the ball better than we did in our
first meeting and give ourselves a
chance to win.”
In its first game against the
Ducks on March 13, Portland
State (16-15) tallied just three hits
and one run off Cook, while com
mitting five errors on defense. In
Game 2, the Vikings were
shutout. These statistics show
Oregon’s defensive improvement
this season, Mariani said.
The Ducks hold a 66-49 series
lead against the Vikings, includ
ing a pair of lopsided victories at
Howe Field last season.
Sports Briefs
Knight takes first
in heptathlon
Oregon freshman Nashira
Knight held on to her hep
tathlon lead, while Lane Com
munity College’s Bill Pappas
utilized a second-day surge in
the decathlon to capture wins
at the Oregon Heptathlon/De
cathlon at Hayward Field on
Tuesday.
In the heptathlon, Knight
made it a clean sweep with
wins in each of the seven
events, including wins in the
long jump, javelin and 800 me
ters. She finished with 4,132
points.
LCC’s Amy Werner and Alli
son Solarz finished second and
third with 3,497 and 3,219
points, respectively.
Knight, who is redshirting
during the 1998 track and field
season, competed unattached
in her first heptathlon at Ore
gon.
In the decathlon, Billy Pap
pas finished with 6,192 points
and improved from his second
place standing after Day One
with wins in two of Tuesday’s
five events —- the 110-meter
hurdles and the javelin. First
day leader Ben Logan of LCC
no-heighted in the pole vault,
then withdrew from the 1,500
meters, the final event.
Oregon’s Chris Holzgraf led
the Ducks with a third-place
finish, scoring 5,350 points.
Oregon’s Cody Howell finished
fourth with 5,184 points.
Oregons adds third
volleyball recruit
Oregon volleyball head
coach Cathy Nelson an
nounced a third member of the
Ducks’ 1998 recruiting class on
Tuesday.
Nicole Allen, a 6-foot middle
blocker from Colorado, joins
Julie Gerlach and Monique To
baggi as this year’s recruits.
Gerlach and Tobaggi both
signed letters of intent in Feb
ruary.
Allen, an all-state selection
as a senior, led Boulder High
School to a runner-up finish in
the 1997 Colorado state tourna
ment. An all-around athlete,
Allen also led the Boulder bas
ketball team to a conference
championship and was the
high-point scorer on the
women’s track team.
“Nicole is a Pac-10 caliber
athlete who has the size and
strength to make an impact in
our program," Nelson said.
“She has not been playing vol
leyball too long, so it may take
her some time to adapt, but she
has the ability to be a dominant
force.”
Oregon has three scholar
ships remaining for the 1998
season after losing six seniors
to graduation this season. The
volleyball signing period runs
through August 1.
