Scott Barnett Emerald
Quarterback Mike Van Raaphorst and USC have struggled mightily this season.
Pac-10
Continued from Page 7
against their D (six).
They also forced the Beavs (6-3,
3-3) to punt a school-record 15
times. A feat that earned punter
Mike Fessler honors as the Pac-10
special teams’ player of the week.
Regardless of all that, Cal’s
young offense is straight woeful.
The Bears’ are currently No.
110 out of 114 Division I-A teams
in total offensive output.
And not surprisingly, they’re
last in the Pac-10 in scoring of
fense, pass offense, pass efficien
cy and, yes, total offense.
But folks down in the Bay Area
are seemingly expecting prompt
improvement.
A recent San Francisco Chron
icle story explained: “With games
remaining against Oregon and
Stanford — two teams that are
weak defensively — the Bears still
have a chance for a winning
record and a bowl game.”
It must be stated, however, that
the Ducks’ defense is significant
ly less “weak” than Cal’s offense.
Oregon is coming off back-to
back quality defensive games in
which it held its opponents to a
combined 27 points. And Peter
Sirmon, Brandon McLemore, Di
etrich Moore and Co. currently
rank fifth in the Pac-10 in both
scoring defense and rushing de
fense.
Happy, happy, joy, joy
Southern California (3-6, 1-5)
wasn’t supposed to be bad to start
with, and they certainly weren’t
supposed to be this bad.
Not only have the Trojans
plummeted to the bottom of the
conference standings, but twice
they’ve blown 21-point leads.
They’re one of only three USC
teams ever to lose five straight
games.
Fans are calling for head coach
Paul Hackett’s head, while asking
a psychologist to check the heads
of his players.
The Los Angeles Times pub
lished an entire story about what
one Professor Callaghan, a teacher
of sports psychology who doesn’t
yet have an affiliation with Tro
jans’ football program, had to say
about the situation.
Callaghan’s professional opin
ion: “My main thought, there’s
not much joy on the field. I’d
probably try to tell them to bring
some joy back in the game. When
there’s no joy in the game, you be
come machine-like, robotic. I
think it’s almost to the stage
where they’ve lost their joy, and
they should try to get it back.”
Hackett has a slightly different
professional theory.
He blames some crucial, late
game, momentum-shifting
turnovers for much of USC’s trou
bles.
But he also conceded that there
may be more to it than that. Only
that he’s not yet familiar with
what it could be.
“If it was a simple solution, I
think I would have arrived at it by
now,” Hackett said.
He could likely find the elusive
solution this weekend because
the Trojans travel to Pullman,
Wash., where they’ll take on a
Washington State team that is
even worse than they are.
Maybe that will make them
happy.

Horoscope by Linda C. Black
TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 10). Wealth is
your objective this year, and you’re in store for
a surprise. Ask for what you need in December.
Push yourself to leant in January. Follow a pret
ty woman's advice in February and a generous
man's lead in April. Your mate steers you
around an obstacle in May, but you take charge
in August. That's when the money comes in.
Hide away in September.
To get the advantage, check the day's rating: 10
is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging.
ARIES (March 21 -April 19) — Today is a 6
— Be cautious today, especially about infor
mation. Ask more questions than you answer.
The winners at this game will be calm, cool and
patient So, don't lose your temper — no mat
ter what. This is good for you.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Today is a 7
— Work with a partner for maximum success.
The two of you can make a strong showing.
Work out your differences and agree on your
goals, first. If you can manage that others won't
have a chance.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21)—Today is a 5 —
There's way too much to do. Besides that just
about anything that could go wrong will.
Knowing that ahead of time, give yourself sev
eral backups and a couple of extra escape
routes. You're smart enough to get through, but
victory may be delayed.
CANCER (June 22-July 22) — Today is a 7
— You are busy, most likely. Pay close atten
tion 'cause things are changing fast. Snoozing
is not recommended. Love looks good if you
can find time for it and if you have any energy
left.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)—Today is a 6—You
should have a pretty good attitude. You're
i learning, and that's good. You're not taking
yourself too seriously, either. Keep most of
what you're learning to yourself a while longer,
however. That's smart, too.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Today is a 6 —
A few disruptions and changes come about.
You like to have your routine established, and
that's not happening yet; No need to let other
people in on your frustration. Wait until you
have a more coherent picture to present.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Today is a 6 —
You may still be concerned about money. You
should be used to that by now. This is not how
it always has to be. You can learn how to save,
as well as make more. Go ahead and clip those
coupons; it'll be good for you.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21) — Today is a 7
— You should be kind of quiet today, especial
ly about money. You can discuss a deal that
will make you wealthier, but that's all. You can
convince a person to pay back what's owed to
you, for example.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)-— Today
is a 5 — You're usually lucky when the moon's
in your sign, but the sun's in Scorpio now. You
want to talk, but you really shouldn't. Even
somebody you trust doesn't need to know
everything yet. Listen, instead.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)—Today isa
7 — Your friends can get you some good deals
now, so let them know what you need. You’re
under a bit of stress, but that's OK. It could mo
tivate you to do something you’ve been think
ing about.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)—Today is a 4
— Get the work done first, especially if you
don't want to. The temptation to goof off is
strong, but it's not a good idea. If you don't have
anything else to do, read. Look busy and play
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) — Today is a 7
— Travel and work are connected again,
maybe even required. You can combine the
two quite successfully now, and you might slip
some fun in while you're at it. Give yourself
plenty of time and listen much more than you
