Women will play
final home match
■ The men and women
face different prospects for
the second half of their
2000 seasons
By Robbie McCallum
for the Emerald
The Oregon women’s tennis
team’s month-long homestand
comes to an end this weekend, in
their last home matches of the sea
son against the Washington
schools.
On Saturday, the Ducks take on
No. 23 Washington at the Willow
Creek Racquet Club. On Sunday,
Oregon faces No. 34 Washington
State at the Eugene Swim and
Tennis Club. This will be the last
chance to see the No. 33 Ducks in
action.
Midterm report
The midway point in the season
has arrived, and both men’s and
women’s squads face different fates.
The women have survived the
toughest portion of the season,
and look forward to easier compe
tition. The men, however, have
yet to take on the bulk of their Pa
cific-10 conference schedule.
After a grueling stretch of Pac
10 matches in which the women
faced six ranked opponents, the
Ducks are 5-5 overall, with a 1-5
conference record.
Only four more Pac-10 contests
remain for the women, who play
Washington and Washington State
twice. The No. 23 Huskies and No.
34 Cougars play Oregon this week
end. The Ducks play at the Wash
ington schools on March 31.
The No. 52 men have a three
week break until their next match
- a nonconference contest at Cal
Poly-San Luis Obispo. The Ducks
don’t continue their Pac-10 sched
ule until April.
Oregon will be well tested com
ing into the Pac-10 Champi
onships on April 27-30. The four
weeks prior will be filled with
Pac-10 matches, all against teams
ranked higher than the Ducks.
A rivalry is bom
In ten matches this season, two
players have switched playing in
the No. 1 singles position for the
Oregon women. Two Polish play
ers, senior captain Alina
Wygonowska and freshman phe
nom Monika Gieczys have com
peted for the top spot.
Both players have dipped into
the Intercollegiate Tennis Associa
tion polls. Wygonowska was
briefly ranked
No. 90, while
Gieczys is cur
rently No. 65.
Both players
have had to face
highly ranked
opponents. Top
ping Wygonowska’s upset list is
Arizona State’s 15th-ranked Ali
son Bradshaw. Gieczys toppled
then-No. 9 Amy Jensen of Califor
nia on Jan. 22.
Unlikely leader
Ask who has the best singles
record on the women's tennis
teams and you’ll be pleasantly
surprised. Sophomore Adeline
Arnaud sports the best record on
the team with an 11-5 mark. The
Iringy, France native has won six
of her last eight singles matches.
Back in action
Following a month of rehabili
tation, freshman Amy Juppenlatz
is finally back to full health. Jup
penlatz was bothered by a foot in
jury sustained during the Ducks’
match with Cal.
The freshman from Portland
was only allowed to play doubles
two weeks ago against the Arizona
schools. She and sophomore Jan
ice Nyland have gone 2-1 in dou
bles play since Juppenlatz’ return.
Juppenlatz’ made a successful
singles debut against St. Mary’s
last weekend, dominating
Cataline Fillol, 6-1,6-1.
Sparky deliberates,
chooses Cincinnati
By Ben Walker
The Associated Press
TAMPA, Fla. — Sparky Ander
son had a choice.
Would his Hall of Fame plaque
show him wearing a Cincinnati
Reds cap or a Detroit Tigers hat?
“It was so hard,” he said Tues
day after being elected by the Vet
erans Committee. “I spent nine
years in Cincinnati and 17 in De
troit, and they treated me like a
king in both places.”
In the end, the only manager to
win World Series championships
in both leagues chose Cincinnati.
He did it to thank former Reds
general manager Bob Howsam.
“He hired a 35-year-old nobody
knewyand he had the courage and
fortitude to do that,” Anderson
said. “Had he not done that, I
doubt very much in all honesty
that I would have managed in the
major leagues. And I owe that to
him.”
Anderson’s election ensures a
Red-letter reunion on induction
day. Big Red Machine first baseman
Tony Perez and longtime Cincin
nati broadcaster Marty Brennaman
were previously selected.
Along with Anderson, the Vets
elected Negro leagues outfielder
Turkey Stearnes and 19 th century
infielder Bid McPhee, who played
his entire career in Cincinnati.
But Ted Williams, Stan Musial
and the rest of the 14-member
panel had a lot more trouble de
ciding which former big leaguer to
elect — be it Bill Mazeroski, Gil
Hodges, Dom DiMaggio, Mel
Harder or Tony Oliva.
So for the first time since 1993,
it did not choose anyone in that
category.
“We hoped someone would be
there, we really did,” first-time
member Hank Aaron said. “It just
got too hard. Maybe next year.”
Afterward, the chewed-up pens
and half-eaten cake in the meeting
room told the story. Despite five
hours of discussion and two tough
ballots, it was a shutout — it took
11 votes for election, and Maze
roski just missed with 10.
“It built my hopes up, but not to
the point where this is a big let
down,” said Mazeroski, working
as an spring training instructor for
the Pirates in Bradenton, about an
hour south of Tampa.
“There was a lot of push in
Pittsburgh and by the Pirates, and
I appreciate all that. It just didn’t
happen,” he said.
Anderson, who turned 66 last
week, was elected in his first of el
igibility. Third on baseball’s career
victory list, he is the only manager
to post 100-win seasons in both
leagues.
