Duck hockey to face
Montana State here
■The Ducks are approaching this weekend’s home games with
caution, as they are facing a team they have yet to play
By Inge Scheve
For the Emerald
It’s time to once again defend the
home turf.
After playing two on the road last
weekend, the Oregon Club hockey
team returns home Friday and Sat
urday, facing off against Montana
State for the first time ever.
Both games will begin at 7:30
p.m., and will be played at the Lane
County Ice Rink. Oregon is 2-0 at
home this season.
“We don’t really know much
about [Montana],” team captain
Tyler Shaf
far said.
While
Oregon is in
the Pac-8
league,
Montana
plays in the
R M C H A
West, and was ranked eighth in the
ACHA last year, Shaffar said.
“The RMCHA is a pretty premier
league,” Shaffar added.
The league includes all of the
Utah schools - hockey powerhous
es such as Weber State and Utah
State.
Unfortunately for the Ducks,
Mike Tornabene and Brett Ledders,
who came forward as stellar play
ers in Los Angeles, last weekend,
have personal obligations and can’t
play against Montana.
“Two good forwards are not go
ing to be here, which will make it

as such I think he has the respect of
his teammates.”
Oregon is also earning respect on
a national basis. Not only are the
Ducks ranked in the top-10, but
Smith and punter Kurtis Doerr are
included in some pretty select com
pany.
Smith was selected as a semi-fi
nalist for the Butkus Award, which
honors the nation’s top collegiate
linebacker. He is one of only 11
linebackers to make the cut, includ
ing Pac-10 foes Adam Archulata
from Arizona State and Robert
Thomas of UCLA.
Doerr earned national props
when he was listed on the ABC
sports mid-season All-American
team as its punter.
Oregon was first honored with a
Pac-10 player of the week after its
29-10 victory over UCLA Sept. 23.
Both tailback Maurice Morris and
safety Keith Lewis received the
honor for offense and special
teams, respectively.
A week later, Doerr showed ofl
his pin-point accuracy in the
Ducks’ 23-16 win against Washing
ton and earned player of the weel<
honors for special teams. And ther
against USC Oct. 14, it was quarter
back Joey Harrington’s turn after he
tore apart the Trojan defense er
route to a career passing day.
“When opposing teams try to tar
get on just one person, then some
body else steps up,” Patu said
“Maybe this week it’ll be somebody
else.”
Phil phoning home?
The buzz began Tuesday nigh
and continued throughout Wednes
day. Will Nike CEO Phil Knight at
tend Saturday’s Oregon game ii
Tempe, Ariz.?
Knight has not attended a singl
Duck athletic event since the Uni
_ versity’s decision to join the Worke
that much tougher,” Shaffar said.
“Some of our other players need
to step up our game, and put the
puck in the net,” forward Andrew
Belcher said.
Belcher will be a part of the start
ing line for the Ducks Friday. This
week’s practice has revolved
around hard skating.
“We want to be in shape and
ready to skate three hard periods
Friday and Saturday,” Belcher
added.
Key players for the Ducks this
weekend will be Scott Tedrick, Jack
Hendrickson and Steve Budke.
“They played great this last
weekend, especially on Saturday,”
Shaffar said. “Steve had a rough
couple of first games, but Saturday
he really showed what kind of
player he can be.”
Budke is also a part of the start
ing line for the games this weekend,
and Josh Hardin will be tending the
goal for the Ducks. Hardin has
played really well this week in
practice, Shaffar said.
“It’s exciting to play new teams,”
Shaffar said. “We’ll just go to the
rink and take it from there.”
This will also be a key week in
forming the right mix of players.
“Last weekend we established
ourselves as a physical team,”
Belcher said. “After this weekend
we should be more settled down in
the line to set up something more
permanent with everyone back in
town and ready to go.”
Rights Consortium April 13.
However, on the heels of the
news that the university may soon
officially cut ties with the WRC,
there have been reports that Knight
may have had a change of heart.
Portland KGW television sports an
chor Colin Cowherd announced
Wednesday night that Knight will
indeed be in attendance at Sun
Devil Stadium.
In an interview with the Emerald
in September, athletic director Bill
Moos said, “Phil Knight is a sup
porter of the U of O, has a passion
for his alma mater and wants to be
involved. We’d like to have Phil
back, and a primary goal of mine is
to just get him back here as a fan
and let everything fall where it
may.”
Pass the popcorn
Oregon State went to see the
movie, “Remember the Titans,” as
a team before its 33-30 loss to
Washington Oct. 7. California also
went to see the movie before its win
over UCLA last weekend.
The Ducks joined the movie par
ty, as the team went to the Cine
mark theater in the Gateway Mall to
see the Denzel Washington flick
during the day last Saturday before
its night game.
“There were times in that movie
when our hairs on our backs raised
and we got excited,” Patu said.
“There was certainly a lot of inten
sity in the air when we were watch
ing that film.”
Still playing
Former Ducks Tony Hartley and
Dietrich Moore are still showing off
their moves on the gridiron here in
town. Hartley attended the Cincin
nati Bengals’ training camp and
t with the help of his agent, Leigh
Steinberg, is looking for another op
portunity in the NFL. The two were
l seen playing in an intramural foot
ball game against two of the Emer

Peter Hockaday.
r The results weren’t pretty.
