Club hockey skates by Bears ■ The Club Sports ice hockey team opens the season with a home sweep of California By Chris Aster lor the Emerald With the football team taking a bye week and preparing for Ari zona, University sports fans may have thought that they also had a weekend of rest. This was not the case for the faithful who showed up at Lane County Ice Arena on Friday and Saturday nights to see the Oregon Club Sports ice hockey team open its season against the California Golden Bears. The Ducks finished 19-5-1 in 1998-99, ending the season with a heartbreaking overtime loss in the Pacific-8 Conference Tourna ment semifinals to Southern Cal ifornia. Team captain Tyler Shaf far said getting back to the postseason is a goal for this sea son. “We lost our seniors, but we have three solid lines, and I think we’re going to have a good year,” Shaffar said. Oregon started this season as if that loss to the Trojans had never happened. The Ducks swept the Bears in two games, improving their record to 4-0-1 against Cal in the last two seasons. The Bears, 10-10-1 last season, were handed a 4-3 defeat Friday. The game was highlight ed by the play of Oregon’s Jeff McGillis, a graduate student from Ottawa, Ontario. McGillis lit up the meager Cal defense for two goals to secure the close win. Saturday’s game wasn’t nearly as even, as the Ducks stomped the Bears in a 5-1 rout. Oregon treated the crowd to a superb dis play of both stingy defense and offensive firepower. Junior goal tender Josh Hardin spearheaded the defensive effort with 26 saves, only letting one shot slip through the wall he essentially constructed in front of the net. The Duck offense was defined by the outstanding play of sopho more forward Brett Ledder, whose hat trick helped lead the win. Shaffar added two goals, and McGillis also pitched in with three assists. The Bears didn’t take their whupping so well and toward the end of the third period used every chance they received to at tempt to start some sort of alter cation. “We kept our cool,” Shaffar said. “That’s definitely some thing that’s different from last year.” With two wins under their belt to start off the season, the Ducks travel south to Arizona State this weekend to take on the Ice Dev ils. “They’re a Division-I team,” Shaffar said, “so they’re going to be a big test for us.” That may be so, but if last weekend was any indication, it’s a test that the Ducks are definite ly ready for. The Ducks next home game is Oct. 29 at 7 p.m. against the UCLA Bruins.

CAMPU6 MARJ4E.TPU^E_ Yankees capture pennant By Ronald Blum The Associated Press BOSTON— Fenway’s fans did n’t scare El Duque and neither did the Boston Red Sox. When you’ve fled Cuba — by raft or yacht, it doesn’t matter — nothing intimidates you. On a night many degrees re moved from his island homeland in temperature and locale, Her nandez wrapped up the New York Yankees’ record 36th Amer ican League pennant in his typi cal Mr. Cool fashion. The MVP pitched them past the Red Sox 6 1 Monday night to win the AL Championship Series 4-1. Less than 1 1/2 years after making his major league debut, he’s 4-0 in postseason play with a 0.97 ERA, nearly halfway to Whitey Ford’s Yankees record of 10 postseason wins. Think that’s impressive? Toying with major league hit ters as if they were kids on sand lots, he’s allowed four earned runs in 37 innings. Nothing seems to rattle him. Not the taunts of Red Sox fans or the threat of debris flying on the field. Not falling behind 3-0 in the count. He’s just setting up th* batter — with more windups than most teams have pitchers. Not questions about his age - is he 30 or 34? He answers only to Yankees owner George Stein brenner. Not the debate over whether he left Cuba on a raft or in a luxu ry boat. His answers are as hard to figure as his pitches. On a staff that struggled for consistency at times, he became the anchor, never going more than three starts without a win after mid-May. With all the concern about Roger Clemens’ legs, Andy Pet titte’s mind, David Cone’s arm and Hideki Irabu’s gut, Hernan dez was the constant: Just give him the ball and let him pitch. Measure 20-25 Safer Communities What is an Income Tax Surcharge? Measure 20-25 is a proposed Lane County Charter Amendment designed to fund prevention, intervention, and enforcement, and address gaps in the county-wide community safety system. Each Lane County community would receive part of the money to use for its own safety programs and services. Measure 20-25 would authorize an 8% surcharge on state personal and corporate income and excise taxes. To figure out how much you would pay, look at last year’s tax return and multiply the amount on line 43 on Oregon Form 40, or line 23 on Oregon Form 40S, by .08.
