Rugby team has high hopes for its weekend ■The rugby team seeks vengeance on Sacramento State; the Aikido Club holds its Winter Gassuku 2001 By Jesse Thomas and Inge Scheve For the Emerald The Oregon Club Sports men’s rugby team travels to the Bay Area this weekend to seek revenge. Last October, Sacramento State defeated the Ducks, 34-20, which left the team with unfinished business. “We are in a position to give these guys some payback,” head coach Bob Snyder said. When the Ducks were defeated during the fall, they lost some key players to injuries. Now, they’ve gained good experience from younger players who have stepped up. Heading into the fall, Sacramento State was ranked 16th, while Ore gon was right behind at 18th. The Ducks have a record of 3-4 in the winter season, and have something to prove in this weekend’s game. When Oregon lost to Sacramento State, which was the 1999-2000 Second Division National Champi on, it came down to the final min utes. According to club coordinator Will Middleton, the team couldn’t keep ball possession and couldn’t get its offensive arsenal to execute. “This will be a close game, but we will pull it out,” Snyder said. Aikido Club holds seminar The annual Oregon Aikido Club Winter Gassuku is happening this weekend at the Student Recreation Center. The guest instructor this year is Tom Read Sensei from Northcoast Aikido in Areata, Calif. One of his specialties is Aikibojitsu and he will be giving thorough demonstra tions on all aspects of the sport of aikido. Everyone is invited to watch and participate. “Students will learn about the ba sis and philosophy of Aikido and see some free-flow and energetic techniques,” said Sasha Tavenner, Aikido Club coordinator. Aikido is one of the only clubs that doesn’t participate in competitions, but rather holds seminars. At such events, students are supervised on tests of their ability levels, from be ginner to most advanced. “The tests involve a lot of attacking with give and take and is pretty inter esting to watch,” Tavenner said. Hockey returns home The Oregon Club Sports hockey team faces off against Southern Cali fornia this weekend on its home ice. After the letdown in Los Angeles earlier this season, the Ducks are ready to get their revenge. “There is not one team out there I want to beat more badly than USC,” Oregon team captain Tyler Shaffar said. While the Trojans have more depth than Oregon, the Ducks will play up their strengths of speed and intensity. "They have players who can score any time," Shaffar said. "But what we lack in talent, we can make up in speed and intensity. Hockey is one sport that lets you do that." A team meeting Tuesday evening refocused and regrouped the Ducks, goalie Josh Hardin said. "We're trying a different formula," Hardin said. "[Last] Friday's game [against Weber State] showed us we can play with the No. 1 team. We know we can play with the best in the league. We have to beat USC." With a fierce will to beat the Tro jans in front of a home crowd, the Ducks are hoping for a large turnout to cheer them on. Both Friday and Saturday’s games will be played at the Lane County Ice Arena at 7:30 p.m. haze (origin unknown) 1A) to intimidate by physical punishment 1B) to harass by exacting unnecessary, disagreeable, or difficult work 1C) to harass or try to embarrass or disconnect by banter, ridicule, or criticism "When Rites Become Wrongs" Join renowned author Hank Nuwer for his lecture "When Rites Become Wrongs" a powerful look at hazing on college campuses January 22nd, 7pm EMU Ballroom Admission is free 010970 2) to subject to treatment intended to put in ridiculous or disconcerting positions 3) to separate from a group sponsored by the University of Oregon Cultural Forum as well as the Interfraternity and Panhellenic Councils ■T’dSs'k*. ■ ’’l' V fl ■ *jjy!
