Morris. Smith named to Team of ‘90s
■ Current and former Ducks
are selected as members of
the junior college team of the
decade
By Jeff Smith
Oregon Daily Emerald
For the past few years, the Ore
gon Duck football team has be
come known for its ability to re
cruit some of the finest junior
college ath
letes in the
country at that
time.
As it turns
out, the Ducks
were able to
land some of
the best junior
college players
from this past
decade.
On Friday, J.C. Grid-Wire maga
zine announced its national junior
college Anniversary Team of the
‘90s, and two Oregon athletes were
selected for the honor.
Current Oregon tailback Maurice
Morris made the distinguished list
as well as former Duck quarterback
Akili Smith.
Both Morris and Smith were two
of only 12 athletes to be named to
the first-team offensive team.
Morris arrived in Eugene in the
summer after spending two stellar
seasons at Fresno City College in
Fresno, Calif. In his two years as
tailback at Fresno he became the
nation’s all-time leading junior col
lege rusher with 3,708 yards on
593 carries.
Morris set a national junior col
lege record for compiling 4,487 all
purpose yards. He also surpassed
Fresno City College’s school
records with 26 rushing touch
downs in a single season, 45 in a
career and 49 total touchdowns.
He recorded his career high
yardage total on Oct. 31, 1998
when he rushed for 334 yards on
49 carries.
“Junior college was a great learn
ing experience for me,” Morris
said after a recent practice. “I
learned so much and improved so
much, which is helping me have
success here.”
The 6-foot, 205-pound junior
college transfer is certainly living
up to expectations at Oregon, as he
currently ranks 12th in the nation
{ C Junior college was a
great experience for me. I
learned so much and im
proved so much, which is
helping me have success
here.
Maurice Morris
Oregon tailback
in rushing with an average of 125
yards per game.
He has surpassed the 100-yard
mark in three of Oregon’s first five
games, including a 152-yard per
formance in the Ducks’ 23-16 win
over Washington Sept. 30.
Smith’s final game as a Duck
was Dec. 25, 1998, in Oregon’s 51
43 loss to Colorado in the Aloha
Bowl. He is currently at the helm
of the NFL’s Cincinnati Bengals.
Smith attended Grossmont Ju
nior College down in El Cajon,
Calif., and was one of the nation’s
hottest junior college prospects. In
1996, he was ranked fifth in the
nation after throwing for 3,212
yards and 32 touchdowns.
He also finished second in the
state of California in total offense
with an average of 317.8 yards per
game.
Former Oregon running back
Reuben Droughns also made the
magazine’s list as an honorable
mention selection. Droughns was
the nation’s top junior college
rusher in 1997 when he ran for
1,611 yards for Merced College in
southern California.
Droughns is currently on the in
jured reserve list in his first season
with the NFL’s Detroit Lions.
NAME THAT DEFENSE
Want to name the Oregon football
defense?
They’re a gang and they’re green,
but defensive coordinator Nick
Aliotti said that these Ducks can’t
share the same nickname of the
1995 Rose Bowl squad. So, we at the
Emerald sports desk are hosting an
informal “name that defense” com
petition.
It’s simple: Just e-mail your nick
name ideas to Smittside@aol.com.
We’ll publish the top-10 ideas in an
upcoming Game Day supplement,
along with your name of course. For
the top nickname, we are giving
away a copy of the 1995 book titled,
“The Year of the Duck.” The book is
written by former Oregon sports in
formation director George Beres,
and is a detailed look into the Ore
gon Ducks’ 1995 Rose Bowl season,
full of unique anecdotes and capti
vating pictures.
And hey, who knows. Your idea
might make headlines across the na
tion.

HorOSCOpe by Linda C. Black
TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 9). This year
you can be a big help to somebody in need.
Formal education may be put on hold for a
while, as you concentrate on a different kind of
lesson. You attract attention in October and
money in November. Don't let hurt feelings
slow you down in December. By February you
should be full of great ideas. In March listen
more than you talk. By June you should have
gained a new perspective and by November a
new sense of determination.
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 a 5
— This is not a good travel day for you. The
good news is that your friends and partner are
eager to help. You might not have to run all over
town to get what you need. Ask them to get it
for you while they're out.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Today is a 6
— A fool and his or her money are soon part
ed. That could happen to you if you take a
friend's advice. This person is kind, sweet and
gentle, but not your best financial adviser. Fol
lowing emotions when betting won't work that
well, either.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21) —Today is a 5 —
You may feel like you're on a teeter-totter.
Somebody else is making changes that affect
you, but you're not sure they're changes you
want. Speak up. Share your experience so the
other person doesn't have to learn the hard way
— like you did!
CANCER (June 22-July 22) — Today is a 7
— Lots of things are unsure today, but one
thing's certain. If you travel far, your odds of
taking a detour or suffering through traffic are
high. Do yourself a favor. Make a phone call,
instead. If you need something, have it deliv
ered or mailed to you.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is a 5 — Al
though a loved one or good friend suggests a
long shot, decline. A risky proposition is not
likely to benefit you. It could cost you a lot. In
stead of speculating, study. That's an excellent
investment of your time.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)—Today is a 7 —
You're good at setting priorities and staying on
schedule. You'll be a big help to others. Some
body who goofs up could actually do you a fa
vor. Keep the boss’s interests in mind and be
ready to move quickly. More responsibility
could mean a fatter paycheck.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct 22) — Today is a 5 —
You may wish you could stay in bed, and that's
not a bad idea. Keep travel to a minimum. Keep
in contact with your sweetheart even if it's elec
tronically. That’ll keep your spirits up.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is a 6
— A romantic rendezvous is liable to run into
difficulties. For instance, you could commute
for an hour to make the date, and then realize
you're on the wrong train. Stay home. Sched
ule your date for tomorrow.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today
is a 4 — An annoying person could make your
life miserable. This yahoo keeps arguing with
you. Even worse, quite often he or she is right.
If you're wise, you'll give up and take notes.
Save your pride for later.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is
a 6—Avoid a difficult situation by staying out
of the way. Don't offer helpful suggestions, ei
ther. A new idea of yours could backfire and
make a bigger mess. Let somebody else do it.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is a 5
—You might come through a difficult situation
smelling like a rose. If you do, it's because
you’ve learned not to become emotionally at
tached to money. Either that, or you've got the
good sense not to bet any more than you can af
ford to lose.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) — Today is a 6
— Others may think you have more going on
than you can handle. From your point of view,
it's not that bad; you have a friend you can call
in times of need. You might want to place that
call early. Make it as easy on yourself as possi
ble.
