Greatwood
returns
Steve Greatwood will return to
the Oregon football team as de
fensive line coach following a
five-year absence, head coach
Mike Bellotti said.
Greatwood, who spent 19 years
with the Ducks as a player and
assistant coach, has signed a
one-year contract worth
$80,000.
He departed with former head
coach Rich Brooks in 1995 to
coach the NFL’s St. Louis Rams.
Greatwood returned to colle

Maryland’s offense in 1997, and
in 1998 he returned to the west
coast to coach the offensive line
at Southern California.
Greatwood’s return to the Ducks
marks his first experience
coaching defense since serving
as a graduate assistant in the
1980-81 season.
“I’m looking forward to switch
ing positions and coaching on
the other side of the ball,”
Greatwood said. “It will be a
challenge for me and rejuvenate
me in a lot of regards. I can use
the experience I have as an of
fensive coach to my advantage.”

Freshman Jason Hartmann fin
ished sixth at the USA 8K junior

Country Championships last
Sunday in Greensboro, N.C.,
qualifying for the World Cham

nal qualifying spot in 26 min
utes, 40 seconds.
“It’s been a long season so I was

not at full speed right now. ”
In the senior men’s 12K race,
senior Steve Fein made his sec

will be a wild finish
Pac-10 Notes
By Mirjam Swanson
Oregon Daily Emerald
The members of the Ore
gon women’s basketball
team are doing their best
not to be concerned with
what’s going on with Pacif
ic-10 Conference title race.
They’re just trying to take
it one game at a time.
Doing as they should, let
ting the fans and media get
all worked up about the race.
The Ducks (17-6 overall,
8-3 Pac-10) are, by the way,
in a three-way tie for second
with UCLA and Stanford.
And, yeah, it’s really Ari
zona with a one-game lead.
So, with eigl»t games left,
forget about the Pac-lO’s re
puted shortcomings.
No, there isn’t a national
power in the fold this sea
son. These West Coast games
don’t get much East Coast
exposure. And then there’s
that parity — 10 teams tak
ing turns beating on each
other.
But there isn’t another
race in collegiate women’s
basketball that is as close or
as important — postseason
wise — as the Pac-lO’s.
The Pac-10 doesn’t have a
championship tournament
as almost every conference
does, so that means whoev

Arizona

play against

schools
By Brett Williams

Lute Olson’s mastery of
the Pacific-10 Conference
continues.
Arizona’s head coach
wrapped up his 13th con
secutive 20-win season last
week when his Wildcats
made short work of Wash
ington 65-56 and manhan
dled a lethargic Washington
State team, 73 -50.
Arizona’s Loren Woods
continued his inside domi
nance against Washington’s
soft interior defense.
Woods — still riding high
from recording NCAA-tying
14 blocks against Oregon
two weeks ago — schooled
the Huskies, scoring 29
points to go along with 13 re
bounds and six blocks.
Another reason for the
Wildcats success this season
is the emergence of Jason
Gardner. The 5-10 freshman
guard from Indianapolis has
been a pleasant surprise for
the ‘Cats, averaging 13.4
points per game and com ing
up big in clutch situations.
Olson credits Gardner’s
