Sports brief
Ducks skate, split with Bruins
When UCLA came into town Fri
day to face the Oregon Club Sports
hockey team, it brought a 2-0 record
against Oregon in the last two seasons.
What the Bruins found was a
Duck squad debilitated by suspen
sions and a week of lackluster
practices. After two periods of
play in the first game Friday,
UCLA led the Ducks 3-0 en route
to a 5-2 win. The Duck’s two goals
were scored by defensemen Chris
Geib, a senior, and Priest Medina,
a sophomore.
‘ ‘When they score three goals in the
first part of the game, it’s hard to put
that behind you,” Medina said. “We
had a handicap the rest of the game. ”
Saturday, the Ducks ended their
losing streak by defeating UCLA 5
4. Medina scored another goal in
the first few minutes of the game,
and junior defenseman Craig
Platzke added two goals.
“We didn’t have the best week
of practice,” Platzke said, “and it
hurts when you’re missing some
of your teammates. On Saturday,
we went in there kind of embar
rassed. We should have beat them
in both games. We are a much bet
ter team than they are. ”
Following the win Saturday,
the Ducks are now 3-3 as they pre
pare to take on Utah on Friday.
The game starts at 7:30 pm at Lane
County Ice Arena.

NBA starts today,
26 teams in action
By Hal Bock
The Associated Press
First, the city votes. Then, the
team plays.
That’s Tuesday’s agenda for the
defending champion San Antonio
Spurs, who open at home against
the Philadelphia 76ers in one of
13 games that mark the start of the
NBA season.
By the time they tip off, the
Spurs may know the fate of a ref
erendum to fund a new $175 mil
lion arena. The outcome of the
vote could determine whether the
team remains in San Antonio.
The Spurs enter the season
with Tim Duncan and David
Robinson in place and Sean El
liott sidelined after a kidney
transplant. The Spurs plugged in
some new parts — Terry Porter,
Chuckie Brown, Samaki Walker
and Felton Spencer.
San Antonio opens against a
76ers team led by scoring champi
on Allen Iverson. Philadelphia
added Billy Owens and Stanley
Roberts in the off-season.
Tuesday’s other openers have
Atlanta at Washington; Detroit at
Miami; Orlando at Charlotte;
Cleveland at New York; Indiana
at New Jersey; Boston at Toronto;
Milwaukee at Houston; Golden
State at Dallas; Phoenix at Denver;
the Los Angeles Lakers at Utah;
Seattle at the Los Angeles Clip
pers; and Portland at Vancouver.
Even though the league’s high
est-profile players stayed where
they were — John Stockton and
Karl Malone in Utah; Shaquille
O’Neal with the Lakers; Alonzo
Mourning and Tim Hardaway in
Miami; Patrick Ewing in New
York; Stephon Marbury and Kei
th Van Horn in New Jersey; Grant
Hill in Detroit; Reggie Miller in In
diana; Gary Payton in Seattle; and
Charles Barkley for one last year
in Houston — there was plenty of
off-season movement.
In the West, Phil Jackson returned
from a one-year coaching sabbatical
to take over the Los Angeles Lakers.
He brought with him his triangle of
fense and imported one of his old
pals from the Chicago days.
No, not that one.

Mookie Blaylock will be run
ning the point at Golden State and

flock of new faces including Brent
Price, Michael Dickerson, Othella
Harrington, Antoine Carr and
Dennis Scott.
Most of them came from Hous
ton when rookie Steve Francis,
unhappy at being drafted by Van
couver, forced a trade that sent
him to the Rockets. Houston also
plugged in Shandon Anderson,
Walt Williams, Don MacLean and
Tony Massenburg.
Utah brought in Olden Polyn
ice. Minnesota has two strong
draft choices in Wally Szczerbiak
and William Avery.
In the East, Miami added Otis
Thorpe and New York brought in

clude Terry Mills, Pooh Richard
