“. .....—-si...:_. _-mm NICK MEDLEY/Emerald Sophomore A.J. Feeley unll look to establish himself as a contender for the top quarterback spot during the scrimmage after having what Mike Bellotti called a “very strong spring. ” Ducks: Quarterback race gets tighter ■ Continued from Page 9A Sort of. “The defensive line is an inter esting position,” Bellotti said. “There’s a lot of people still [in con tention for playing time). I couldn’t tell you who the top four or five or six are ... and that’s sort of exciting because I think they’ve played well, so it means we have more depth than we thought we had.” As far as the kicking game goes, Bellotti said Dan Katz and Nathan Villegas have “clearly stood out." The scrimmage, at least for the first half and possibly three quar ters, Bellotti said, will be played under normal game conditions, with the possibility of the clock going to running time in the fourth quarter. The squads will be divided up in a “best against the rest” format, according to Bellotti, with the first-team offense and defense go ing up against whatever’s left. “We hope it’ll be very competi tive,” Bellotti said, “but I would like to see that first unit establish themselves as the dominant pow er out there on the field.” At quarterback, the Ducks go in to the spring game in the same sit uation as it ended last season, with Akili Smith and Jason Maas relatively even at the top of the depth chart, although Bellotti said sophomore A.J. Feeley has made a case for himself with a strong spring. “A.J. has made it a much more competitive situation, not just a two-man race, but a three-man race, and one in which I think he’s closed the gap considerably.” Bellotti said all three, along with redshirt freshman Joey Har rington, will be getting “equal op portunities" Saturday, although how much actual work they get depends on how they perform and move the ball. Rather than taking an active roll in the scrimmage, Bellotti said he will sit back and observe in order to get a better feel for where the team is at before fall practice starts.

Oregon adds Indiana to football schedule Continuing its relationship with the Big Ten Conference, Oregon football officials an nounced Thursday the Ducks will play a home-and-home se ries with Indiana beginning in 2004 in Eugene. The Ducks will play in Bloom ington the following season. It will be the third and fourth matchups all-time between the two schools. “The addition of Indiana Uni versity to our football schedule continues to illustrate our com mitment to showcase our pro gram on a national level,” Ore gon athletics director Bill Moos said. “I also believe it demon strates that we have enhanced our reputation across the coun try in recent years, because it wasn’t long ago we were unable to attract such quality oppo nents to play in Autzen Stadi um.” Oregon will begin its eight year run of matchups against Big Ten opponents this fall when it hosts Michigan State. The Ducks will play the Spartans in East Lansing in 1999 as well as Wis consin in 2000 and 2001 and Michigan in 2002 and 2003. The Ducks will host the Wolverines in 2003.
