With out Karen Bristow, who leads the team with a 76.5 average this sea son, Oregon never climbed high er than seventh place and matched last season’s finish of eighth place in Stanford, Calif. Oregon’s Jerilyn White, who placed fourth at the Stanford Golf Course as a freshman in the Peg Bernard Invitational, was tied for 13th with teammate Pam Sowden after two days of play. She stepped up her game, however, on the final day, im proving her score to 219 and fin ishing sixth. Meanwhile, Sow den fell to 19th place. Southern California’s Jennifer Rosales was unable to repeat as Pac-10 champion, finishing tied for third with Stanford’s Stephanie Keever at 218. Arizona State’s Grace Park won the tour nament with a final score of 211. Oregon head coach Renee Baumgartner said before the tour nament that she would be pleased with a finish of “fifth place or bet ter without Karen Bristow,” but Oregon was unable to place in a tournament in which Washington State was the only entrant not ranked in the nation’s top 30. Oregon’s weekend total of 919 was 43 strokes behind Stanford, who fed off the play of Julie Dunn and Hilary Homeyer, who finished second with a score of 216, to knock off defending two time champion Arizona. The Wildcats finished 12 strokes be hind Stanford and had no indi vidual scores in the top five. The Ducks resume play in the North west Shootout on May 3 in preparation for NCAA West Re gional from May 6-8 in Hous ton, Texas. Men’s golf aims for top at Pac-lOs today By Brett Williams lor the Emerald After capturing three tourna ment titles so far this season, No. 21 Oregon looks to challenge last season’s Pacific-10 Conference Tournament champion Arizona State starting today in the Pac-10 Tournament in Seattle, Wash. Washington is hosting the tour nament at Broadmoor Country Club, and the competition should heat up in the next few days. Four Pac-10 teams are in the top 25 in the nation, and a total of eight teams are ranked in the top 40. No. 7 Arizona State attempts not to look past the Pac-10 tourna ment and toward the NCAA West Regionals, where its talent could land it a top seed at nationals. Oregon’s Ben Crane, who set a course record by shooting 12 be low par at Shadow Hills Country Club last month, led Oregon in the tournament last season with a finish of 18th place, shooting 294 in the three-day tournament. The Ducks finished seventh in the team standings. Oregon is coming off a fourth place finish at the ASU Thunder bird Classic last week in Tempe, Arizona. The Ducks made up for a slow start with a 12-under-par 276 in the last round to crack the top five. Adrian Burtner leads the Ducks with a 73.3 stroke average for the season, with Crane and Ryan Lavoie right behind him with 73.52- and 73.59-stroke av erages, respectively. Lavoie was Oregon’s top shooter at the Thun derbird Classic, capturing sixth place with a score of four-under par 212. Joining Lavoie, Crane and Burt ner in the Ducks lineup will be Andrew Treadway, Derek Croskrey, and Jeff Barney. Croskrey led the Ducks with a 146 at the 1998 NCAA Champi onships. Sports Briefs Third scrimmage a tale of two halves In the Oregon football team’s third scrimmage of the spring Fri day, the defense decisively out played the offense in the first half before the offense got things going in the second half. Sparked by linebacker Billy Prince’s interception and fumble recovery, the defense permitted just 42 yards in the first seven of fensive series. Then, the offense scored touchdowns on four of its next six drives. Both quarterbacks vying to re place Akili Smith, now of the Cincinnati Bengals, showed im provement from the first two scrimmages. Joey Harrington guided the of fense to three scoring drives and completed five-of-seven passes for 72 yards and a touchdown. Al though intercepted once, A.J. Fee ley completed six-of-12 passes for 81 yards and directed the offense on one scoring drive. “I thought both Joey and A.J. made some plays today and got excited about that, and obviously we need that,” head coach Mike Bellotti said in a released state ment. “Our quarterbacks im proved just in the course of this scrimmage.” Ducks sign prep runner from Hawaii In adding its third signee of the spring season, the Oregon women’s track and field team suc cessfully recruited middle-dis tance prospect Eri McDonald of Punahou High School. The Honolulu, Hawaii, native will offer the Duck distance pro gram depth and flexibility in the 400 meters through cross-country distances. McDonald comes to Oregon with 10 combined Hawaii state ti tles under her belt, including three titles in the 800 and 4X400 and four in cross country. “I’m looking forward to being in Eugene in the fall,” McDonald said in a released statement. 1 FINE TUNE YOUR SPRING NUTR Through the University Health Center Education Program Winter put a dent in your diet?
