UO sees tournament
as chance to relax
Along with having some
fun, Oregon will face
some top competition
By Scott Pesznecker
Oregon Daily Emerald
This season has been an up
ward battle for the Oregon
women’s golf team.
They have had success — the
Ducks won their first invitational
in Portland, finished seventh at
the Pre-NCAA in Tulsa, Okla
homa, and placed fourth at the
Northwest Invitational in Corval
lis.
Last weekend, the team
stormed back from 15th place to
finish eighth at the Stanford Invi
tational-a tour
nament that
played host to
10 of the na
tion’s top 25
teams.
But nothing
has come easy
for the women this year. Each suc
cess has been a learning experi
ence.
This weekend, the Ducks can
do something that they have not
done all season — relax.
Oregon will travel to Vero
Beach, Fla, to play at the Rolex
Match Play Toumament from Oct.
31 to Nov. 2. The tournament has
no bearing on the team’s rankings
or its season, but being invited to
take part is quite an honor.
The tournament invites the top
eight teams from the previous year
to play. The Ducks did not finish
in the top eight last year but were
chosen as a wildcard pick due to
their success this season.
“They invited us to come over
some very good teams,” Oregon
head coach Renee Baumgartner
said. “This is a huge reward and
tribute to the team and our perfor
mance this season. ”
While this meet has no effect on
the women’s season, Baumgartner
said the team could gain from the
experience.
"I would like this tournament to
show my team how good they re
ally are,” Baumgartner said. “We
will play No. 4 USC and No. 2 Ari
zona, and I think we can beat
those teams.”
“I think the team will really step
it up a notch,” she added. “That
will show [ourselves] that we are
one of the best teams in the coun
try.”
Match play is scored different
ly from a standard golf tourna
ment. Teams are paired up and in
dividuals square off in pairs. The
winner of each hole wins a point,
and at the end of the round, the
team with the most total points
moves on to the next round.
The Ducks played in the Rolex
Match Play tournament last year.
From that squad, the only return
ing golfers are Karen Bristow and
Pam Sowden.
Making the trip this year to
Florida will be Bristow, Sowden,
Jerilyn White, Claire Hunter and
Dawn Berry.
“Last year, we said to ourselves,
‘We’ve got to go there and win it,”’
Baumgartner said. “This year,
we’re saying, ‘let’s just go and
have fun.’ I think that is a better
way of approaching it because it
puts a lot less pressure on our
selves.”
NBA lockout continues
as talks move forward
After days of bargaining,
both side see labor deal
begin to take shape
By Chris Sheridan
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — After a busy
burst of bargaining, the opposing
sides in the NBA lockout took a
breather Thursday to assess their
progress and determine their next
moves.
Owners and players spent four
days and a total of about 24 hours
talking since Saturday, develop
ing a loose framework for what
the next labor deal is going to look
like.
So far, they know it will retain
the Larry Bird exception, change
the rookie salary system, include
some kind of "tax” on the highest
paid players and increase mini
mum salaries for long-term veter
ans.
The biggest hang-up remains
what percentage of revenues will
be devoted to salaries by the time
the new system has been in place
for a few years.
The owners have moved off
their insistence upon getting the
percentage down from 57 percent
to 48 percent, and the players
have moved off asking for 63 per
cent, sources involved in the talks
told The Associated Press on con
dition of anonymity.
“There’s still a pretty wide gap
that separates the sides. But at
least we identified the sizes of the
gaps between us,” commissioner
David Stern said early Thursday
morning after an eight-hour bar
gaining session ended.
Those gaps remain very large,
and it will clearly take much
more movement and compromise
to get to a point where a deal can
be done.
The sides spoke by telephone
Thursday and agreed to speak
again Friday. There are no bar
gaining sessions planned, and the
owners who sit on the league’s
negotiating committee have re
turned to their home cities.
Over the next day or two, the
other owners and the rank and
file players will be briefed on
what has been accomplished.
The sides are talking about a
hybrid system incorporating as
pects of each side’s latest propos
al. In the first two or three years,
there will be a tax on any owner
who signs a player to a high-end
contract. The sides remain far
apart on the threshold and rates
for such a tax.
After those first two or three
years, if the percentage of rev
enue devoted to player salaries
fails to drop to an agreed-upon
level, an escrow tax of 10 percent
will be withheld from some play
ers’ paychecks. Both sides are
widely separated on how many
players would contribute to the
escrow fund.
In those “escrow plan” years,
the sides would determine at the
end of each season how much
revenue had been devoted to
player salaries. If the targeted
number had been exceeded, a
portion of the escrow money
would be returned to the owners.
