Hard-hitting Ducks face off Friday
■ The Oregon Club Sports
hockey team is hoping for
strong fan support against
Western Washington
By David Raffensperger
for the Emerald
If you are experiencing with
drawal symptoms from the end of
football season and are searching
for that missing adrenaline rush,
look no further. The Oregon Club
Sports hockey team has the per
fect solution.
Friday night fights. Uh, Friday
night hockey.
The Oregon Hockey team (9
11-1) has amassed 359 penalty
minutes in just twenty games. At
one point during its game with
Washington, the entire defensive
line was in the penalty box.
“We are a very hard-hitting
team, said Oregon’s leading goal
scorer,
Tyler
Shaffar.
“And
when the
fans start
banging
on the
glass you just know there’s going
to be a fight or two.”
The Ducks also have one of the
best kept secrets in the Western
division. Goaltender Josh Hardin
has been spectacular this season
and has been extremely consis
tent. In 595 shots on goal, Hardin
has only let 79 of those slip past
him, for a save average of 87 per
cent.
The No. 10 Ducks host unde
feated Western Washington on
Friday and Saturday at the Lane
County Ice Arena before heading
to the Pac-8 Championships on
Feb. 18 and 19.
Friday night is Greek Night at
the arena. Anyone who wears his
or her Greek letters is eligible to
win Oregon hockey merchandise.
There will be a separate raffle
for those ticket holders who are
not in the Greek system. Tickets
can be purchased at the door and
are $2 for students and staff. Gen
eral admission is $4.
Victims’families far from inspired by Hurricane
By Amy Westefeld
Associated Press
PATERSON, N.J. — Barbara
Bums watched her mother die, a
month after she was shot five
times as she hid in the comer of a
Paterson bar. Thirty-four years lat
er, she says she is seeing her moth
er’s killer glorified in the film
“The Hurricane.”
“They fabricated the facts to
make money and made a hero out
of a cold-blooded murderer,” said
Burns, the daughter of Hazel Ta
nis, one of three people gunned
down in 1966 inside the Lafayette
Bar & Grill.
Burns and other victims’ rela
tives said Tuesday that Rubin
“Hurricane” Carter, the mid
dleweight boxer convicted twice,
then later freed for the killings, is a
murderer whose life story is
skewed to make him look saintly
in the award-winning film.
Carter “has continued to mask
the truth and elicit sympathy as
well as a profitable living off the
blood of our loved ones,” said
Tom Vicedomini, the grandson of
victim Fred Nauyoks.
The film created a racist detec
tive out to get Carter who didn’t
exist and ignored eyewitness
statements that placed Carter’s car
with two bullets at the crime
scene, said family members of the
victims and a detective who head
ed the investigation.
The film’s producers, who have
admitted changing some details of
the story to cut the movie to a
manageable length, took out ads
in Hollywood trade publication to
refute charges about the movie
while other films were campaign
ing for Oscar nominations.
At a news conference in New
York today, lawyers for Carter and
co-defendant John Artis said the
film was correct in depicting their
clients as innocent. They said the
investigation was tainted by
racism and corruption and re
leased a copy of grand jury testi
mony in which the chief investi
gator said witness descriptions of
the suspects were “not even close
to Artis and Carter.
“It’s a sad day when after all
these years officials in the state of
New Jersey cannot say, ‘We made
a horrendous mistake,”’ said
lawyer Lewis Steel.
And executive producer Rudy
Langlais noted the movie, using
voiceovers from Carter’s autobiog
raphy, explores Carter’s darker side.
“We acknowledge in his voice
that his childhood had produced
a very rough, angry, hateful man
that was later to undergo a trans
formation,” Langlais said. He
added, “That does not mean that
Rubin Carter committed murder.”
Carter, who lives in Toronto,
was on a speaking tour and un
available for comment, a spokes
woman said.
A federal judge freed Carter in
1985, ruling that the prosecutors
improperly presented an argu
ment that Carter was out for racial
revenge in the killings. Prosecu
tors decided not to retry him after
the decision was upheld by the
U.S. Supreme Court.
