Golf teams eighth in preseason tournaments I
■The Oregon women try to
fight the rain in Washington,
while the men can’t find their
rhythm down in California
By Peter Hockaday
Oregon Daily Emerald
The Oregon women’s golf team
ha had its recent tournaments can
celed by rain, disrupted by rain and
shortened by rain.
Now the Ducks have suffered
their first baseball-style rain delay,
and the results were, once again, as
ugly as yesterday’s gray skies.
After the first round of the Edean
Ihlanfeldt Invitational in Redmond,
Wash., the Ducks stand eighth of 17
teams. The tournament was delayed
for almost three hours because of
the rain.
Oregon’s fight with mother nature
has now stretched on for four tour
naments. At the NCAA Champi
onships in Sunriver last May, the
Ducks dropped from third to 11th
on the final wind-swept day. This
season, the Ducks opened at the
NCAA Preview in Florida and en
countered Hurricane Gordon,
which cut the tournament short and
left Oregon with a 19th-place finish.
The Mary Fossum Invitational two
weeks ago in East Lansing, Mich.,
was also shortened, and the Ducks
ended up ninth out of 15 teams.
Senior Claire Hunter and freshman
Katharina Schallenberg lead Oregon.
Both golfers are tied for 15th place.
The Edean Ihlanfeldt Invitation
al is being played at the Sahalee
Country Club, the beautiful course
that hosted the PGA Champi
onships in 1998.
Meanwhile, the Oregon men’s
golf team is not fighting the storm
clouds, but is fighting a tough field
at the Pepperdine Intercollegiate.
The Ducks find themselves in
eighth place after two 18-hole
rounds at the Saticoy Country Club
in Oxnard, California. Oregon had
been in fourth after one round, but a
second-round score of 302 dropped
them down. If the Ducks don’t crack
the top-five today, it will be the first
time in the young season that they
failed to do so.
But Oregon continues to get strong
individual performances from differ
ent team members. After sophomore
Chris Carnahan’s win at the North
west Classic and newcomer John El
lis’ individual crown at the Husky In
vitational, junior Aaron Byers could
become the Ducks’ third straight indi
vidual winner at the Pepperdine In
tercollegiate. Byers is in sixth place,
five strokes behind leader John
Mallinger of Long Beach State.
The men will conclude their play
today with one 18-hole round, while
the women will play two rounds over
the next two days in Washington.
NX Mets are'relieved'they aren't facing Atlanta I
By Josh Dubow
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — The New York
Mets are providing a bulletin-board
material for the St. Louis Cardinals.
The Mets aren’t shy about express
ing their preference for playing St.
Louis instead of their nemesis, At
lanta, in the NL championship series.
“I was a little relieved,” reliever
Turk Wendell said of Atlanta being
eliminated. “That is a team that men
tally puts a lot of pressure on other
teams. It puts pressure on guys to
think that they have to be perfect.”
New York has been far from it
against Atlanta. The Mets are 14-29
against Atlanta the past three seasons,
including a loss in last year’s NLCS.
And while the champagne was
spraying throughout the New York
clubhouse Sunday after eliminating
San Francisco in four games, the
Mets were happy not to have to an
swer questions about why Atlanta
spooks them.
“Nothing derogatory against
them, but I’m glad to see them lose,”
first baseman Todd Zeile said. "This
team has not had much success
against them. But I don’t think any
body really cares who we’re play
ing, as long as we’re there. ”
The Mets are 26-10 against the Car
dinals, so it is easy to understand
why the Mets are relieved they are
opening the best-of-seven NLCS
Wednesday night in St. Louis instead
of in Atlanta.
Mike Hampton (15-11) is expect
ed to get the start for New York
against St. Louis' Darryl Kile (21-9).
There was some talk that a trip to
the World Series would be cheap
ened for the Mets because they
don’t have to go through Atlanta to
do it. The players don’t buy into it.
“We can’t control what other teams
do,” said Bobby J. Jones, who pitched
a one-hitter to clinch the division se
ries. “We control the New York Mets.
We’ve got a ballgame that we have to
win and that we have to worry about.
We go about it like that. ”
The New York-Atlanta rivalry has
n’t died down even though Atlanta is
out of the playoffs. Third baseman
Chipper Jones, one of the most hated
Atlanta players at Shea Stadium, said
he didn’t care who won the NL pen
nant — as long as it wasn’t New York.
The Mets have similar opinions
about Atlanta.
“We held up our end of the bar
gain,” outfielder Darryl Hamilton
said. “Anybody with any type of
brain thought Atlanta was the team
to beat. They may be. But we’re still
going to play St. Louis.”
The Cardinals head into their first
NLCS in four years well rested, hav
ing swept Atlanta on Saturday. The
Mets took an extra day to eliminate
the Giants, but both teams have their
pitching rotations set up perfectly.
St. Louis also has the momentum
of a three-game sweep — all won in
the final at-bat—against the Mets that
started New York’s September swoon.
“The Cardinals are not going to be
pushovers,” said setup man John
Franco, who was injured during
that series. “If they play us the way
they play Atlanta, it will be a tough
series.”

crets in November, Somebody else reveals too
much in December. A loved one brings a pleas
ant surprise in February. A co-worker needs ex
tra assistance in March. Compliments come

high in July. Spur yourself to victory in Sep
To get the advantage, check the day’s rating: 10
is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)—Today isa4—
Confusion today involves your work. You may
be anxious to get started, but don't jump the
gun. New information could change the way
you do the job or even the job you do. Take
those phone calls personally. You want to know.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Today is a 7
— The best intentions in the world won't make
up for common sense. Your friend has loads of
the farmer and not much of the latter. You could
spot a bad deal in the making, so speak up!
Don't assume everybody is as savvy as you are.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21)—Today is a 5 —
Just when you thought things were settling
down, something else flares up. The good news
is there's a happy ending. The bad news is more
work needs to be done first. Yes, it's only fair to
get the one who made the mess to help clean it
up.
CANCER (June 22-July 22) — Today is an 8
— Things are likely to turn upside down.
Something that you thought wouldn't work
will, and something that you thought would,
won't. Luckily, love's on your side. With that
going for you, who cares about that other
stuff!?
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is a 4 — To
day's worse for gambling than yesterday — in
the morning, anyway. Stand pat until the dust
clears. Real estate or items for your home could
be a good deal, but you'll make the better deal
by waiting.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Today is a 6 —
You might find your forward movement
thwarted, but don't give up. A recent difference
of opinion may have shaken your confidence.
Instead of worrying about who's right or wrong,
find that kernel of valuable advice.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct 22) — Today is a 5 —
Postpone travel plans until later. Ask your
friend to visit you, instead. You may have to
work up to the last minute. It would be nice to
relax with somebody you can talk freely with,
later. Somebody who can keep a secret.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is a 7
— Somebody you care about might need a
shoulder to cry on. You're great at that job. Your
helpful advice ought to be right on target, too.
This other person can't see the forest for the
trees. For you, it's easy.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today
is a 4 — A lot of talk is going on, and you'll be
tempted to participate. If you can control the
urge, do so. Your better tactic is to find out what
they know. Things may not be as you thought
they were. Stranger things have happened.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is
a 6 — You could run every which way, trying
to keep up with a tough schedule. Your commu
nications' network should work well, so use it.
Call a friend who can call a friend. Networking
is a lifesaver today.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is a 5
—This isn't just a tough day for you; it's tough
for everybody. Don't feel too sorry for yourself
if you run short on funds. You still have plenty
of love, and that's the more important commod
ity by a long shot.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) — Today is a 6
— Your biggest annoyances are the distrac
tions. They could keep you from doing the
most important thing. First, figure out what that
is. Then, do it. After that, who cares? Actually,
you may need the whole day to get it done.
