Decathletes head to Texas ■ Fourth-ranked junior Duck Santiago Lorenzo is favored to take first at the Texas Relays Decathlon By Robbie McCallum Oregon Oaily Emerald They are the most well rounded athletes on the Ore gon men’s track and field team, and they represent the overall strength of the team. They are the decathletes. Today through Thursday, two of Oregon’s multi-event corps will compete with some of the top de cathletes in the nation at the Texas Re lays De cathlon in Austin, Texas. Ju niors Santiago Lorenzo and Billy Pappas will precede the rest of their team at the prestigious event, which con tinues with the track and field portions over the weekend. Lorenzo leads the Ducks into action. The Buenos Aires, Argentina native placed fifth at last year’s NCAA Champi onships and is a two-time Pa cific-10 Conference runner up. Lorenzo owns a career best 7,649 points and ranks fourth nationally, although he has not competed in the de cathlon this season. Lorenzo is the favorite to win the Texas decathlon, be ing the highest placing NCAA participant. Brigham Young’s Curtis Pugsley, who finished immediately behind Lorenzo at the NCAA meet a year ago, is also a contender. Texas A&M’s Aaron Smith is seeded third. Pappas was an NCAA pro visional qualifier last season but was three places out of a nationals berth. Pappas’ 7,184 point effort at last seasons Pac-10 Championships earned him fourth place behind Lorenzo and NCAA Champi on Bevan Hart of California. The decathlon begins today at 12 p.m. with the 100 me ters, long jump, shot put and 400 meters. Concluding the multi-event portion on Thurs day will be the 110 high hur dles, 1,500 meters, discus, javelin and pole vault. The rest of the Oregon men’s track and field team will travel to Texas to com pete on Friday and Saturday. Ducks lose two players ■ Kenny brew and White step down, leaving the football team with four fullbacks this spring By Jeff Smith Oregon Daily Emerald In only the first week of spring practice the Oregon football team re ceived some-bad news Tuesday: full back Adam Kennybrew’s career is fin ished. Despite having two more years of eligibility remaining, Kennybrew lis tened to doctor’s orders and stepped out due to a foot injury, according to head coach Mike Bellotti. The soon-to-be junior from Beverly Hills, Calif., has a broken navicular bone in his right foot that is presumed to have been broken even before he arrived in Eugene in the fall of 1998. Kennybrew never had a chance to fully blossom as a Duck, but showed plenty of promise as a special teams player and a backup fullback to Josh Line. On special teams, the 6-0, 231 pounder had totaled 10 tackles in 21 games, while on offense he had rushed for 14 yards on five car ries, including a touchdown. The former high school quarter back’s lone colle giate score came in the fourth quar ter of Oregon’s season-opening 36-7 victory over Nevada on Sept. 2 at Autzen Stadi um. The team physicians believe that his broken foot will never be 100 per cent. There is a bright side for Kenny brew though. Because he is leaving the football program for a medical reason, the education major will con tinue to receive athletic financial aid until his graduation. Also on Tuesday, Bellotti an nounced that freshman defensive end/tight end Dee White has left the Ducks due to personal reasons. White, who hails from Thornton, Colo., was a redshirt last fall.
