' Hartley
Continued from Page 4B
He’s 15th on the Pacific-10 Confer
ence’s all-time receiving lists. He’s
missed just two games in his career
—a suspension kept him out of the
Aloha Bowl last season and a wrist
injury caused him to miss the sea
son finale as a freshman.
And when the ball goes in his
direction, he’s almost always go
ing to get it.
His speed and hops are good.
His hands are phenomenal.
“That’s what I was blessed
with,” Hartley said. “That’s the
one thing that stands out about
me and what I do.
“Even when I was young, I had
a special knack for that. I could
always catch the ball.”
That ability stayed with him
through high school in Southern
California.
It was there that Hartley decided
that he would like nothing more
than to make football a career. And
that would require tremendous
dedication and effort.
So he continued to hone his
skills, to learn commitment, and
in so doing, he helped vault Los
Alamitos High School into a re
gional powerhouse, as the

Griffins lost a mere three games
in Hartley’s four seasons of play.
The program has since produced
19 collegiate players, including
the Ducks’ other starting receiver,
freshman Keenan Howry.
“They taught me how to win,”
Hartley said. “And how to keep
my priorities in order.”
Soon, the 6-foot receiver was
receiving accolades by the hand
ful. He broke county records for
yards receiving and receptions.
He was named the Los Angeles
Times’ Orange County player of
the year, complete with a gushing
write-up describing the 17-year
old as looking “every inch the ath
lete — all sleek and sinew on a 6
foot, 190-pound frame with hands
that could juggle fire hydrants.”
Not surprisingly, Hartley was
wooed by colleges around the na
tion, from Michigan to UCLA to
Oregon. After a trip to Eugene,
the Ducks it was.
“He’s always been a great play
er,” said tailback Reuben
Droughns, Hartley’s roommate
on that trip. “He’s awesome —
the best hands on the team.”
Now, four years later, the
Times’ description stands, al
though certain Oregon receiving
records might not.
And Hartley’s still aspires to
play in the NFL.
“I’m not there yet,” Hartley said.
“But the closer I get, the older I get,
the more that becomes a reality.”
But first, the records.
“They’re right. there now,”
Hartley said. “I’m ready to go
ahead and get them.”

comerback Wilcox. He was held
out of practice early but participat
ed toward the end of the week and
is expected to play against Wash
ington State.
“If he cannot go, then that slack
will have to be
picked up by
Brian John
son, Steve
Smith and Jer
m a i n e
Hanspard,”
head coach
Mike Bellotti
said. “Justin
Wilcox has
played a great
season for us,
and obviously I can’t afford to lose
him. He’s the kind of young man
that probably is going to find his
way on the field on Saturday night. ”
Wilcox was the one who saved
Oregon’s dramatic 44-41 victory at
Arizona with his spectacular
knock-down on a pass intended
for Northcutt in the end zone.
JOHNSON
“There has been a little bit of a
myth that everybody’s picking on
him,” Gregory said. “He has yet to
give up a touchdown pass, and
that is amazing in the Pac-10. He
uses very good technique and
knows what he can and can’t do.
“I think he’s one of the best cor
ners in the league.”
The Ducks’ mind set doesn’t
change from week to week, and
they are primed to pick on Cougar
quarterback Steve Bimbaum, who
has been intercepted only twice in
217 attempts.
“We’re an aggressive secondary
and feel like we can play with any
body,” Johnson said. “When
somebody goes down, the next
guy in line just steps it up and
makes the plays.”
“We feel like whoever is in there
can get the job done,” Fletcher said.
“When we get everything under
control and play calm, then we can
play pretty good together... and that
was exhibited last Saturday. ”
The defense looks to continue
its strong effort against the Cougars,
and no matter who is in there at cor
nerback, they will be playing any
thing but a secondary role.
