    Wrestling
continued from page 9
in the earlier dual proved to bo
the deciding match, as Oregon
prevailed by six points.
Oregon State is “tough because
their style of wrestling is to keep it
close and pull it off in the end,”
Webb said. “It’s exciting though.’’
The Beavers are also strong at
141, 157, 174 and 184 pounds.
Fortunately for Oregon, the
Ducks, too, are competitive at
those classes. Senior Doug Lee
defeated No. 16 Isaac Weber in
the earlier dual at 184 pounds.
The Beavers’ Shane Cunanan,
Eric Jorgensen and Nathan Coy
are undefeated this season
against Oregon wrestlers.
Both coaches agree that the win
ner will be decided by whoever
earns the extra points.
“There are several opportunities
for us,” Wells said. “Opportunities
to score some bonus points and
some additional points that we let
slip through our fingers the last
time we wrestled them.”
Senior Chael Sonnen, ranked
No. 5 at 197 pounds, will face
rookie Jason Lovell in a key match
for Oregon. Sophomore Brian Wat
son, No. 7 at 133 pounds, will face
4-5 Michael Delaney.
Sophomore Casey Hunt will sit
out the Oregon State match be
cause of a knee injury. Junior Ken
ny Cox will fill in at 141 pounds.
Cox is 0-4 this season and 8-15 in
his collegiate career.
The match will be the last regu
lar-season appearance for Oregon
before it hosts the Pac-10 Champi
onships Feb. 25-26. It will also be
the last dual match for Oregon sen
iors Lee and Sonnen.
Basketball
continued from page 9
Bracey added, “We weren’t real
ly having fun against Cal or Ari
zona State, and we have to get back
to getting up and down the floor
and throwing alley-oops to each
other. That’s when we beat teams.”
Oregon head coach Ernie Kent is
realistic enough not to keep alive
any hope about his team running
the table for the remainder of the
season — as some of his players
have — but he does believe that
four, five and perhaps six more
wins are possible.
“The crucial thing for us is to
battle our tails off and try to get in
the postseason,” Kent said. “Be
cause if we can get in the postsea
son, that would be the third time
getting into the postseason play in
a row, and that hasn’t been done
here in a long time.”
In fact, a three-peat of that kind
hasn’t been accomplished since
three straight NIT appearances
from 1975-77, when Kent was a
player for the Ducks.
Gettin’ props for his hops
People that have seen Freddie
Jones play know one thing for
sure: The man can dunk.
Now, he is receiving national
props for his thunderous throw
downs. If you happened to catch
the Saturday night “SportsCenter,”
you would nave seen a segment
about the five best dunkers in col
lege basketball. And yes, Jones was
one of them.
Fans were even given the oppor
tunity to log on to ESPN.com and
vote for their favorite dunker
among the candidates.
“I didn’t see it or anything, but I
just heard about it,” said Jones, who
didn’t finish first on the list, but did
n’t finish last either. “I’m honored to
be up there, but I’d much rather
have our team have success than for
me to get those individual honors.
“But it’s a nice accomplish
ment,” he said with a smile.
For what it’s worth
Stanford shot 30 more free
throws than Oregon (37-7) in its
win in Eugene last Thursday. Did a
certain referee have something to
do with that?
In an unofficial sheet passed
out to the media following the
game, it showed that referee
Deron White called eight fouls on
both teams, and referee Bob Sitov
called seven fouls on Oregon and
six on Stanford. Meanwhile, ref
eree Bobby Hunt called only five
fouls on the Cardinal and 14 on
the Ducks.
Hmmm.
Pesznecker
continued from page 9
could, but that she can’t jump as
high. She plans on testing her kne<
in contact drills “definitely next
month.”
Which means that if she really
wanted to, and if her coaches let
her, Williams could be ready to
play by NCAA Tournament time.
Is
If she could play right now,
Shaq’s presence would be felt in
every aspect of Oregon’s game. With
the extra guard in the lineup, for
wards Lindsey Dion and Brianne
Meharry could return to their natu
ral positions. The post would get
deeper. Her dribble penetration and
offensive creativity would open up
scoring options everywhere.
And Shaquala Williams has con
fidence. No current Pac-10 guard
can touch her, and she knows it.
If Shaq came in pill form, she’d
be just what the doctor ordered for
the slumping Oregon women.
Unfortunately, there will be no
late-season comeback. Williams
said she doesn’t want to play at
less than full throttle, and her
coaches want her healthy and
ready for next season.
So you continue to follow your
beloved Ducks, and you can’t help
but sigh because you know that
this should never have happened.
Any of it. And you wonder if your
Ducks will even make the Big
Dance this season, and that sickly
feeling begins to burn again in
your chest.
But then, the antidote speaks:
“They have seven games left,
and they have to get their confi
dence back up,” Williams said.
“All they need is maybe one or two
good games, and they’ll be able to
get their confidence back up.”
Maybe the real cure has yet to be
found.

HorOSCOpC by Linda C. Black
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Feb. 14). Let go of a
burden with the help of good friends, and con
tinue your metamorphosis into the person
you've always wanted to be. Resolve the past,
but don't dwell on it, in February. Love inspires
compassionate action in April. Be dormant in
May, and you'll blossom in June. In July, you
can best serve yourself by serving others. Re
view your strategy in August. Study from Sep
tember through October to prepare for an exam
in November. By December, you may hardly
recognize yourself. Celebrate by doing some
thing you've long dreamt about in January.
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 6
— Your team may need more money to
achieve its objective. Break the piggy bank and
add up your pennies. If you still don't have
enough, don't give up. Just pray for another
miracle, and open up your mind to let the right
idea pop in.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Today is a 5
— Somebody who's been lording over you is
in for a few surprises. You and your partner
could gang up on this person and present an
objection that's been overlooked. You're right,
of course, so you can afford to be gracious.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21)—Today is a 6—
Figure out what might go wrong, and have a
back-up plan ready. Don't cram loo many
things into too little time — that's just an acci
dent waiting to happen.
CANCER (June 22-July 22) — Today is a 6
—You and your sweetheart or child should get
together to work on your budget. You'll find
there's not as much money as the other person
thought, and that's the point you were trying to
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is a 7 —
i Your projwt could come to a grinding halt, but
j don't worry about the reasons why. This mess
isn't your fault, which is why you're in such a
■ good mood. Help others stay optimistic, and
I they'll think of something.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept 22)—Today is a 5 —
Be prepared to run into technical difficulties.
Make copies of everything. A glitch would not
only be annoying, but it could throw you off
schedule.
LIBRA (Sept 23-Qct 22) — Today is a 7 —
A family conversation could him ugly once
money becomes the topic. The energy level is
high because you and the other person care
deeply. You're good at being objective if it's
someone else's problem. This time, it will help
if you can just say "no"—and mean it
SCORPIO (Oct 23-Nov. 21) — Today is a 5
— It's your duty to point out all the things
wrong with a household plan. Or, this could be
about real estate. If you're in escrow, for exam
ple, you're finding out what the seller forgot to
mention. Be thorough.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)—Today
is a 6—There are a few surprises today, not all
of them pleasant. Some of your assumptions
could be challenged. Just because things have
always been a certain way doesn't mean that's
the way they are now. Be flexible.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is
a 4 — Put off a tough financial decision a little
while longer. Don't buy something you're not
sure about. You might discover something
much better tomorrow or the next day. Keep
shopping.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)—Today is a 6
— Be willing and eager to fix errors, because
somebody is apt to find one. Thank that person
for pointing it out to you, and you'll avoid an
embarrassing situation. Keep a promise you
made to a dear friend.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) — Today is a 5
—Don't forget the car keys, the theater tickets,
your wallet, your camera, the mail, or the list
of things you need to buy. You need a checklist
to remember your checklists. It would be bad
to go somewhere only to realize you've forgot
ten something essential.
