Moos signs new deal
Oregon Athletic Director Bill
Moos signed a four-year con
tract extension worth $300,000
in salary and benefits on Tues
day.
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. Fourteen of the
Ducks’ 16 programs qualified
for post-season play this sea
son.
“I am very pleased to be able
reward Bill’s dedication to
[Oregon] and look forward to
many more years of outstand
ing results under his direction,”
University President Dave
Frohnmayer said in a released
statement.
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.

Oregon stuns golf world at NCAAs

Oregon shot its best opening

Georgia and No. 14 Texas by a

“We’re just ecstatic,” Baum
gartner said. “Getting off to a

And what a start it was.

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

everything of
note about
track and field
at Oregon —
here’s some of
what’s left

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. Amidst the rhyth
