The package, comparable with that of other A.D.’s head ing the top programs around the nation, rewards Moos for his managing the Oregon de partment in possibly its most successful era.

New class to b-ball Hall SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (AP) — Isiah Thomas and Pat Summitt both have their share of cham pionship rings. Now both have spots in the Basketball Hall of Fame. They head a class of six in ductees chosen Wednesday. The others are three-time NBA scoring champion Bob McAdoo; Morgan Wootten, the winningest high school coach ever; Kentucky athletic direc tor C.M. Newton; and Danny Biasone, the inventor of the shot clock. The 6-foot-1-guard Thomas led Indiana to the 1981 NCAA championship and the Detroit Pistons to the 1989 and 1990 NBA titles, and he was an All Star in 12 of his 13 NBA sea sons. “I don’t think any of us as players thought of ourselves as ever being inducted or going into the Hall of Fame.” Summitt, who has led the Tennessee women’s basketball team to six national champi onships in her 26 years there, credited her assistants and players with keeping her driv en. “My philosophy has been consistent,” she said. “Sur round yourself with quality people and winners.” Witness defends Lewis ATLANTA (AP) — A friend of two men killed after a Super Bowl melee testified today that he did not see NFL star Ray Lewis or his two co-defendants holding a knife during the fight that led to the stabbings. Chris Shinholster, who knew both victims in his hometown of Akron, Ohio, told jurors he saw another unidentified man holding a knife. And although he was just steps away from the stabbings, Shinholster said he did not see who actually stabbed the two men. Shinholster also bolstered the defense claim that Lewis acted as peacemaker, saying he didn’t see Lewis punch, kick or grab any of the victims. Thursday Oregon stuns golf world at NCAAs After a round at the NCAA Championships in Sun river, the Oregon women’s golf team is beating the nation’s best teams By Peter Hockaday for the Emerald “We’re winning! We’re lead ing the National Champi onships!” That was the reaction of Ore gon women’s golf coach Renee Baum gartner last night when she found out that her No. 24 Ducks are beating the top teams in the country at the NCAA Champi onships in Sunriver after one round. Oregon shot its best opening round score of the year, a seven over par 295, to lead No. 8 Georgia and No. 14 Texas by a stroke. Also close behind is No. 1 Arizona, whose seven-tourna ment win streak is in jeopardy. “We’re just ecstatic,” Baum gartner said. “Getting off to a good start, we thought, was im portant, and we did.” And what a start it was. Oregon leads nine top-10 teams and 23 teams total — all ranked in the top 35 — at the fi nal tournament of the year for all the teams involved. With golf giants such as Duke, Ari Team Leaders 1.

Turn to Golf, page 12A A place in history Catharine Kendall Emerald Guillermo Carter added one more win to his 10-16 season record and 47-54 career record. Wednesday’s first-round NCAA victory could be the senior’s biggest yet. Carter swings to second round of NCAAs Senior Guillermo Carter also plays with freshman Leslie Eisinga in the first round of doubles today By Robbie McCallum for the Emerald Guillermo Carter’s glory run continues. The Oregon men’s tennis team’s senior captain was triumphant in his NCAA individual championship de but as he defeated Texas’ Michael Blue, 7-5, 3-6,6-2. The win over the No. 49 was a nar row upset for No. 51 Carter. With the win, Carter moved to eighth on the Oregon career win list at 47-54. “The first match [of the NCAA’s] is so important,” Head coach Chris Russell said. “To get a win under your belt early is huge. Memo really stepped it up in the third set. He fought hard.” Russell said Carter acclimat ed well to the humid, 80 degree weather in Athens, Georgia. Today, Carter plays host Georgia’s Matias Boeker at 3:30 p.m. eastern time. The No. 12 freshman from Buenos Aires, Argentina, owns a 10-16 record after defeating Oklahoma’s Dusty Beard yesterday. Boeker was named the Southeastern Conference Newcomer of the Year after leading the Bulldogs to a 16-9 record and an NCAA team berth. Boeker “is a real solid young player, and he’ll be hungry,” Russell said. “He’s got a good all-court game, and he’ll be Turn to Carter, page 12A ii Togeta win under your belt early is huge. Chris Russell head coach Bello, Ellis among other achievers at Pac-10s We may have taken over the front page Monday, but we still didn’t get to mention everything of note about track and field at Oregon — here’s some of what’s left By Scott Pesznecker and Mirjam Swanson Oregon Daily Emerald Track Notes By now, everybody who fol lows Oregon track and field probably knows all about Jason Boness, Steve Fein and Santia go Lorenzo. They also have probably heard about Nat Johnson. Although Johnson won’t go to the NCAA Championships, he recently finished a brilliant collegiate career with an NCAA provisional mark and personal best of 25 feet, 3 1/2 inches in the long jump at the Pacific-10 Conference Champi onships last Saturday. And they’ve probably heard that the men finished seventh overall in the Pac-lOs, South ern California finished first and yes, Washington’s Ja’War ren Hooker has the fastest 100 meter time in the conference at 10.19 seconds. But here’s some other good stuff from the Pac-lOs that may have gotten lost in the shuffle. John Bello took fifth in the discus on a throw of 178-7, moving up four spots from his ninth-seeded position. Also in the field events, Foluso Akin radewo scored his first confer ence points as a Duck, finish ing seventh in the triple jump with an eight-inch personal best of 49-9 3/4. Terry Ellis finished eighth in the 110 hurdles in 14.51 sec onds. The Trojans’ Marcell Al mond ran in that race — back in his high school days, Ellis and Almond were friends and competitors, each racing at ri val schools. Sophomore Ross Krempley, who had one of the most excit ing seasons individually, fin ished sixth overall in the 800 with a time of 1:52.07. And the Cardinal was out in full force.
