UO in must-win situation
■The Oregon men’s tennis
team needs a win in its final
home match to qualify for
the NCAA tournament
By Robbie McCalium
for the Emerald
Facing elimination can bring
the best out in a team.
Needing a win in its final con
ference match of the season to
qualify for the NCAA tourna
ment, the Oregon men's tennis
team is backed into a corner.
The No. 55 Ducks are having
their best Pacific-10 Conference
season in school history, but it will
all mean nothing should the team
fail to reach the NCAAs. On April
7, Oregon earned its first Pac-10
win in more than five years. Two
days later, the Ducks made it two in
a row for the first time ever.
Saturday, the Ducks’ post-season
fate will be decided when No. 28
Washington conies to town. The
two teams have identical 2-4 con
ference records and so the winner
of tomorrow’s match will earn
fourth place in the Pac-1() outright.
“[The match] has big implica
tions and our guys are aware of
that,” head coach Chris Russell said.
The two teams tangled earlier
this season on April 2, with Wash
ington prevailing in Seattle, 4-3.
“The guys had them in a bat
tle,” Russell said. “It was the clos
est we'd come to beating Wash
ington in a long time. We have to
be tougher mentally and really
finish our matches."
Home field advantage was a
major factor in the earlier match.
“It was a very vocal crowd fin
Seattle!," Russell said. “If we can
plug in the crowd thing and get that
intensity, that will be a big help.”
The match will be the fourth
time this season that the teams have
faced each other. The Ducks and
Huskies participated in two presea
son tournaments in the Northwest.
Since the April 2 matchup, both
teams have fallen to the Los Ange
les schools. On April 7, Washing
ton lost to Ari
zona State, a
team Oregon
defeated 5-2.
Leading the
Ducks into ac
tion will he
streaking sen
iors Guillermo
Carter and
Joaquin Ham
dan. Carter
continues his
month-long
stay in the ITA
rankings at No.
45 while Hamdnn has won seven
out of his last nine matches to
push his overall record to 18-11.
A freshman duo also give the
Ducks a boost. Oded Teig and
Leslie Eisinga are first and third
among the team in total wins.
Sophomore Thomas Schneiter
has made several appearances in
the national rankings this season.
Washington counters with No.
98 freshman Matt Hanlin, who de
feated Carter earlier this season.

Horoscope by Linda C. Black
TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (April 21). You
could stash away a lot this year, and if you do,
you could accrue great wealth. Why not?
Couldn't happen to a nicer person. Take a jaunt
instead of a voyage in April and save a bundle.
Put your budget into writing in May, with a
clear goal in mind. By July, you should be able
to make another good-sized investment. Do it
for the children. Fall in love in September and
count your winnings in December. Pass on a
friend's crazy scheme next February and take a
secret vacation next March.
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 an 8
— You've had a couple of tough days, but now
you could get a chance to travel. This will be a
good weekend for a trip. If you’re traveling on
business, so much the better. You'll be in a
good mood and willing to make a deal — for a
profit, of course.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Today is a 7
— By relying on your experience, you should
be able to handle whatever stresses come your
way. Don't worry if it looks like you've made a
bad deal. You can use what you learn to do bet
ter next time.
GEMINI (May 21-June21)— Today isa6 —
Expect an argument today. You're kind of self
conscious, and that could throw you off your
stride. If you can postpone a competition for a
couple of days, do it. Might as well be in top
shape for a peak performance.
CANCER (June 22-July 22) — Today is a 6
— Service to others is the key to your success.
The truth could be revealed in your workplace,
too. If you don't like it at first, just relax. As you
get used to an initially startling idea, you may
find it will be to your advantage.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is an 8 —
Don't waste time, but do have fun. Give a pro
ject your full attention, and you might complete
it, finally. Later on, try something you've never
done before. The odds are good you'll be pleas
antly surprised. This could describe trying a
new restaurant, too.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Today is a 6 —
You're being pushed to stay home and tidy up.
You may need to get rid of a few things, too.
While you're sorting through the stuff, look for
valuable items. You may find something that
makes it all worth while.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Today is a 7 —
Look out for surprises. You're liable to learn
something that shatters your reality. We re go
ing through a phase when the truth is being re
vealed, just about everywhere. Don't worry;
this could turn out to be to your advantage.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21) — Today is a 6
— Today you and your partner should go on a
search for buried treasure. This could be a new
way to invest your retirement account. Or, you
might discover that those rhinestones your
Grandma left you are really diamonds. Check
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today
is an 8 — You have a compulsion to tell the
truth. If you're thinking about blowing the
whistle at work, be careful. Do it in such a way
as to get a promotion, not a pink slip! Present
the solution, not just the problem.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today isa
7 — You know that dream you had that you've
just about given up on? Well, how about taking
it out and dusting it off again. The situation may
have changed in your favor. Don't do it during
working hours, though. Get your day job done
first.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is an
8 — You and your team might need to reassess
your situation. You've struggled to achieve the
group's goals, while taking care of your respon
sibilities at home, too. You may not be able to
do it all now, either. Save Sunday for your fam
ily.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) — Today is a 6
— An opportunity that you thought was over
and done with could show up again. This could
take a little work on your part, but the goal you
were after might be attainable. This lesson
could be about never giving up. So, go for it
one more time.
