Pyle Continued from Page 13A rors its on-field maturation. After two seasons of playing home games at parks and schools throughout Eugene, Ore gon now lias a permanent home at spacious, plush Papd Field. The Ducks have adapted well to their beautiful new surface, post ing an undefeated home mark of 3-0-2 so far this season. With the improvement ofboth the team and facilities comes in creased recognition, which trans forms into recruiting benefits. And those benefits have al ready begun to reverberate through the program. Freshmen Chalise Baysa and Starr Johnson have estab lished themselves as starters at forward and fullback, respec tively. And Baysa, with seven goals, has already passed the highest scorer from 1997. An other freshman, forward Beth Bowler, was also making a sig nificant contribution to the team before suffering a season ending knee injury. Transfers Laurie Duhrkoop and Ally Hill have also embed ded themselves in the playing rotation. Duhrkoop usually starts at central midfield, while Hill generally plays about half a game at outside midfield. Add to that mix 10 juniors and three sophomores who play reg ularly, and the Ducks definitely have a solid foundation upon which to build next season. But before then, Oregon still has eight Pac-10 games to play this season. The Ducks look primed to win more confer ence games than ever before, at the very least. At the very most, they will continue to improve by leaps and bounds, rise into the con ference’s upper echelon and — who knows? — maybe even grasp their first-ever postsea son berth. “We need to keep focusing on what’s ahead,” Steffen said. “Not so much how far we’ve come, but how far we can go.” One thing is for certain: If Oregon can continue to improve at its current rate, moral victories will never be mentioned again.

Media onslaught not distracting players By Rob Moseley Oregon Daily Emerald With the No. It Ducks’ nation ally televised matchup with No. 2 UCLA just days away, Oregon head coach Mike Bellotti is trying to keep his players focused on the task at hand. “The biggest thing is that we keep this whole thing in perspec tive,” Bellotti said. "This is a great opportunity to, one, chal lenge the No. 2 team in the na tion, and two, show the rest of the nation the type of football program we have.” The pregame hype for the game has grown exponentially over the past few days, with CNN, ESPN and ABC sending re porters to Eugene. With news media from as far away as Chicago, New York and Washington, D.C., as well as Sports Illustrated, on hand for the game, the Ducks are facing a media onslaught usually re served for the Floridas and Ne braskas of the college football world. “I don’t call it pressure. 1 think it's positive pressure in terms of what [the Ducks] have done to make this a big game,” said Bellotti, whose team is un defeated entering Saturday’s game. “I think our kids are real ly excited, and certainly it’s an advantage to us to go back where they feel a comfort zone with the place they’re going to play." Fifty of the 110 players on Ore gon’s roster hail from California, with roughly half of those 50 from the greater Los Angeles area. Smith, Droughns under spotlight While the entire Oregon team is experiencing increased atten tion, quarter back Akili Smith and tailback Reuben CjtjiiluitI Unfop Droughns are rooinan notes absorbing the brunt of it. The athletic department has set aside an hour of Smith’s time each Monday morning for deal ing ^vitfi the national media, while Droughns has become more tight-lipped as the season has progressed. “I wouldn’t want to be their press agent this week,” Bellotti said. “It’s been a tough week for them. I don’t know how they jug gle all the rest of it.” Despite the attention, Bellotti said, he has been pleased with his team’s focus. “In practice I have seen noth ing but a great attention to detail and focus by our entire team,” he said. “Everybody welcomes at tention, and our kids have han dled it extremely well. We haven’t made a big deal out of any of it. We all realize the mag nitude of this game, but we also realize how we got where we’re at right now.” Containing McNown a key One major concern of Bellotti’s is the Oregon defense’s ability to keep UCLA quarterback Cade McNown in the pocket. Another mobile quarterback, Washington State’s Paul Mencke, scrambled for a touchdown against the Ducks last week, and McNown is one of the Pac-lO’s more mobile signal-callers. “It scares the dog out of me,” Bellotti said. “I would assume they will have some quarterback run opportunities in their game plan. Based on last game, we’ve talked about ways to handle a mobile quarterback and what we need to do in terms of providing a lookout, so to speak, to be key ing him. That’s something we’ll have to pick and choose when we’re doing, and hopefully we’ll be right.” Emerald •K \ »*!« A' >. /' j\ *■ CLASSIFIEDS Call 346-4343 or stop by Suite 300 EMU to place your ad today 090 BIRTHDAYS HAPPY 21ER LISA HOTT!

HorOSCOpC by Frances Drake For Thursday, Oct. 15, 1998 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You are driven to organize the clutter that has accumulated in the past few months. Don’t question this sudden frenzy, just act on your im TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You are filled with a sense of well being and fulfillment. You feel healthy, complete and eager to share your pleasant state with others. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Rediscover your powers of com munication, although you may have to dig deep to find them. Use these powers to resolve issues within your family. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) All the feelings that normally defy verbal expression can suddenly be articulated. You are able to effec tively combine words with emotions. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Family and friends may shock you with displays of capitalism and op portunism. Don’t be angry — just keep the checkbook to yourself. VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) You can almost live up to your own expectations of perfection, and if you fall a little short, it doesn’t seem to matter. You have the last word on every subject. LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) The angel and devil on your shoul ders are arguing so loud that you can’t concentrate on outside mat tare. Muffle your inner voices as best you can. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Your intellectual and emotional powers are equally strong and work ing in tandem. No one is inclined to argue with you; you are obviously a dominating force. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Nitrpicky details — and the people who create them — are testing your patience. You will feel much better if you take things with a grain of salt. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) You feel morally obligated to share some information with others. Write it in the form of a memo or a list, and send it to a select group. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Although you generally leave de tail work to others, you may feel compelled to do some yourself. Don’t be surprised if others aren’t as thor ough as they claim to be. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) It’s always a good idea to summa rize other people’s ideas in your own words before acting. Take your time when digesting information. YOU BORN TODAY find art and music very meaningful. You love to spend time in museums or at classi cal concerts. The social aspect of such gatherings is as much fun as the cultural aspect. You become rather flustered when you feel rushed or overwhelmed with choices.
