UO hockey frustrated following two tough losses ■ The Ducks come away empty-handed after a two game homestand with Trojans By Inge Scheve for the Emerald The Oregon Club Sports hockey team swallowed two hard defeats against USC on home ice last weekend. The Ducks fell to the Trojans 4-0 on Friday and 5-1 on Saturday at the Lane County Ice Arena. Friday’s loss was particularly painful. Oregon was in the game the entire time and had the most chances (35 versus the Trojans’ 28), but the Ducks didn’t execute the way they should have. “It was pretty demoralizing,” Oregon captain Tyler Shaffar said. “We had the opportunity to beat them, but they embarrassed us in front of our own crowd.” The Trojans scored the first goal within the first minute of the first peri od, a score that stood until the third pe riod. In the final session, USC shoved in three more for the 4-0 shutout. “It’s really disheartening,” de fenseman Rob Starkey said. “We played really well, but we couldn’t get it past their goalie. Nobody has been able to step up and score.” The Ducks tried new systems and lines this weekend, following tough losses on their Utah road trip in the weekend prior. On the bright side, Oregon had many of the breaks and bounces in the game. “We were all over them,” Shaffar said. “We can’t lose a game like that.” The Ducks had 17 shots in the second period alone, but it wasn't enough. On Saturday, Oregon was no competition for USC despite the fact that a Trojan player dislocated his kneecap when he collided with one of his own players. The acci dent caused a 45-minute pause in the game, which threw the Ducks off, Starkey said. But USC finished what it started Friday and drove the Ducks to the brink of hitting the panic button. The Trojans scored three goals be fore Oregon even got one in the net, and then they slapped in another two to finish off the Ducks. “They were the better team,” Shaffar said. “They outplayed us. It’s so frustrating. You try to change everything, and it’s not working. We have a better team than last year, but we’re doing worse. “Where do you go from here?” Giants’ quarterback bares soul in discussion of past By Tom Canavan The Associated Press TAMPA, Fla. — Kerry Collins bared his soul about his troubled past Monday night, transforming a Super Bowl interview into a very public confessional. The New York Giants quarter back, a self-admitted shy kid, dis cussed the problems that almost ended his NFL career. Standing behind a podium for 35 minutes, Collins answered ques tion after question about alcohol dependency; being labeled a racist and a quitter; the dark moments of rehabilitation; and eventually turn ing his career around, leading the New York Giants to a Super Bowl meeting with the Baltimore Ravens. In an era when athletes do their best to shield their private lives, Collins treated this news conference like a meeting of Alcoholics Anonymous, opening himself up in a candid, in formative and impressive manner. When a moderator asked him if he wanted to stop after the allotted 30 minutes was up, Collins said no and answered about five more questions. No subject was taboo. “Well, I’m human and I too have frailties and weaknesses, and we all do,” Collins said. “Hopefully, peo ple can see me as a role model in the sense people have problems, and alcohol dependancy is part of life. It’s part of everyday life.” Collins, who has been very frank about his problems since signing with the Giants two years ago, gave new insights into his alcohol depen dancy and for the first time publicly discussed the racial incident that led to his falling into disfavor with his Carolina Panthers teammates. Collins, 28, said he didn’t drink everyday or every other day, but “when I did, I never stopped.” The racial incident followed a binge that came at the end of the Panthers’ training camp in 1998. “We all went out and had drinks and I was very intoxicated,” Collins said. “There was celebrations going on back in the dorm and I used a word that was not meant to be used.” Collins did not disclose the word he used, but insisted he was trying to use it in a joking manner to get a few laughs. “I used a term that was not meant to be used in a malicious way,” he said. “In my polluted, altered mind, I believed that, in some sort of way, it would bring forth some sense of ca maraderie. I certainly didn’t mean for it to be taken the way it was.” Collins said he was most proud of his success off the field. “I had a hard time separating be tween Kerry Collins the quarterback and Kerry Collins the person,” he said. That distinction wasn t clear until I realized I needed to take care of myself first before I could do anything on the football field or in my career.” In turning his life around, Collins also turned around his career, set ting personal bests for yards pass ing (3,610) and touchdowns (22). “I didn’t want to look back in 20 or 30 years and see I wasted a talent that is a unique talent,” Collins said. “That has been one of the driving forces in the whole process.” So is being honest. “Do I like to talk about it every day? No!” > Maybe he won’t have to after Monday. Call (541)3464343 or stop by Room 300 Erb Memorial Union to place your ad today. P.O.
