Club water polo has high hopes for tourney ■ Both the women’s water polo and Ultimate Frisbee squads will compete against top-notch teams this weekend By Jesse Thomas for the Emerald Having proved itself so far, the Oregon club sports women’s water polo team enters this weekend’s Regional Championships ranked first. But the biggest challenge for the Ducks will be to again beat Wash ington, who they expect to be their toughest competi tion. The Huskies will travel to Federal Way, Wash., ranked second and as the defend ing national champions from a year ago. “We’re mostly concerned with the Washington team,” Oregon coach Lea Bonebrake said. “It won’t be an easy game, and we can’t let them take control.” The Ducks just recently gar nered their highest national rank ing of the season at sixth with the Huskies close behind at ninth. The other teams the women will meet at the championships are Oregon State, Simon Frasier and Western Washington. “It always feels good to be placed at the top,” sophomore Kristi Neidig said. “Hopefully, it’s intimidating to other teams.” The Ducks feel confident, thanks to the experience they re ceived from playing some of the best varsity teams in a tournament at Santa Cruz, Calif., and also be cause of the. way they have pre pared during practices this week. If Oregon is successful in its chal lenge this weekend and takes first place, it will advance to nationals, which takes place May 5-6. Even if tJie Ducks were to finish second, they could still receive a wild-card bid to the prestigious end-of-the year tournament at Miami of Ohio. So the challenge to advance be gins this weekend as the women enter the tournament ranked first and plan to leave in the same fash ion. It appears to these Ducks that the only thing they have standing in their way is the Huskies, who will seek revenge after losing once to Oregon earlier in the season. “My gut feeling is we’re going to do it,” Bonebrake said. “When I watch them play, there is just this feeling that nothing can stop them.” Women’s Ultimate to test its skills The Oregon club sports women’s Ultimate Frisbee team will be com peting against the best of the best in an open tournament this weekend in Davis, Calif. Not only will the women be play ing other college teams on their lev el, but they will go head-to-head with club teams comprised mainly of adults who have already gradu ated. “This will be much more diffi cult than a typical collegiate tour nament,” Oregon coach Rachelle Depper said. The Ducks plan to win their games against other college teams and hope for the best against the club teams while gaining valuable experience. The biggest competi tion the women will have in the collegiate level Will come from Stanford, UG-Santa Cruz and British Columbia. “You learn by playing the best,” Depper said. The Ducks have a well-balanced team this year as the freshmen have helped greatly by stepping up and contributing, according to Depper. Although the team has been strong, Oregon has been plagued by a total of six serious injuries this season, including ACL tears and broken metatarsals and patellas. Looking ahead, the Ducks will compete in the sectionals on April 15 and then the regionals will take place May 3-4. If they compete as well as they hope in regionals, the Ducks will move on to Boston, Mass., for the coveted nationals on Memorial Day weekend.

Black TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (April 5). This is not an easy year, but your skills will certainly im prove. You might even get to Carnegie Hall. Practice, practice, practice! Your first attempts may be quite awkward in April, but you sure look cute trying. Just stick to the schedule through May, and by June it will seem easier. A critical relative proves inspirational in July and helps you prepare for the real test in September. In December, take time for yourself and consid er a radical change of scenery. By February, you've reached a new level and get to play with the big kids. Save part of March for smelling the roses and resting on your laurels. To get the advantage, check the day's rating: 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging.

But that's part of the adventure, right? TAURUS (April 20-May 20) —Today is a 7 — Watch the other players closely as they place their bets. You could be the big winner, but it won't be due to mere good luck. You’re only go ing to trounce them at a game you've played be fore. You have a hidden advantage. GEMINI (May 21-June 21) — Today is a 5 — You and your mate or partner could have a tiff. Both of you have good points, and both are missing something. Be nice, and work out a compromise.

Each dead end is actually a step forward. Eventually, you'll narrow down the options to the one that works. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is a 7 — Don’t blindly follow a friend's advice. It's too expensive, and it won't produce the results you want Your sweetheart doesn't have the answer, either. Get it from an older person, one from whom you gel money. Just ask; it's free. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept 22)—Today is a 6 — Even though you have more control, you still need to proceed with caution. Others, some of whom outrank you, have ideas that won't work.
