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.
