Sports brief Twins continue to sizzle with win against Yankees MINNEAPOLIS — Doug Mien tkiewicz had just finished telling reporters about how the Minneso ta Twins are a team without any in dividual stars. “No, I take that back,” he said, glancing at Brad Radke across the room. “He’s our superstar.” Mientkiewicz’s tiebreaking home run in the seventh inning gave Radke and the Twins a 2-1 victory over the New York Yankees Monday night. Radke (5-0) pitched his second complete game of the season and became the first five-game winner in the major leagues by outdueling Andy Pettitte. Radke allowed six hits, includ ing Tino Martinez’s home run in the fourth, struck out four and walked one. He became the first pitcher in franchise history to start a season 5-0 since the Washington Senators’ Walter Johnson did it in 1913. “It’s always nice to beat the champs,” said Radke. “I didn’t re ally want to mess that game up.” The Associated Press KZUO Seeking Jewish students for Leadership Positions $ Executive board positions available various group chairperson positions available course credit available/no experience necessary Elections are Wednesday, May 2 at 6 pm Oregon Hillel House 1059 Hilyard 1 block north of Sacred Heart Contact Hillel for position descriptions Phone: 343-8920 Fax: 343-4552 -—Email: orhillel@pond.net little Caesars MEDIUM PEPPERONI OR CHEESE PIZZA 007959 1711 Willamette (next to Blockbuster) 343-3330 Men take eighth at Pac-10s ■ Certain individuals have solid rounds, but the Duck golfers finish eighth as a team at the league tourney By Peter Hockaday Oregon Daily Emerald Like a light bulb that flickers on and off before going completely out, the No. 20 Oregon men’s golf team may have officially thrown the switch off on the 2000-01 sea son this weekend. At the very least, the Ducks need to throw in a new bulb before the NCAA West Regionals in three weeks. Oregon finished eighth at the Pa cific-10 Conference Champi onships in Palo Alto, Calif., over the weekend. The Ducks ended the tournament with their best round, a combined 351, to secure eighth place. The story of the tournament for Oregon was the play of Aaron By ers and John Ellis. Byers’ 68 in the first round carried him through to the final day, and he ended in 12th overall. Ellis’ standout round came on the last day when he shot a 69 to end up in 19th. The story of the tournament was the pack of teams that finished around Oregon and the even tighter race for first. While the Ducks fin ished eighth, they ended up only 10 strokes behind the fifth-place team, No. 38 UCLA. Sixth-place and No. 41 Stanford was only two strokes ahead of Oregon, while sev enth-place Washington State fin ished a mere stroke ahead of the Ducks. At the top of the team race, No. 6 Southern California stunned the field to take first by four strokes over No. 4 Arizona State. The Tro jans’ win broke the Sun Devils’ streak of six straight Pac-10 crowns. No. 18 Arizona finished third, four strokes behind Arizona State, while No. 29 Washington finished fourth overall. The Ducks will continue their postseason run at the NCAA West Regionals in Corvallis May 17-19. If Oregon does well at Regionals, it will travel to the NCAA Champi onships later this month. Spurs advance to second round By john Akers The'Associated Press MINNEAPOLIS — The San An tonio Spurs needed more than their Twin Towers to eliminate the Min nesota Timberwolves from their first-round series Monday night. Tim Duncan scored 24 and David Robinson added 21 in the 97-84 victory, but timely three-pointers by Danny Ferry and Antonio Daniels put the Spurs over the top. Duncan was just 8-of-23 from the field, and Robinson went to the ■ bench with his fourth foul in the third period. Ferry and Daniels hit four three-pointers apiece to prove that these Spurs are more than a two-man show. “We’ve ridden on Timmy’s back all season,” Ferry said. “When teams double-team him, we have other guys who can shoot the ball.” The Spurs, 3-1 winners of the se ries, also knocked the Wolves out of the first round in 1999, before going on to win the NBA title. They will play the winner of the Dallas-Utah series. “It doesn’t matter who we play,” said Duncan, who also had 16 re bounds. “You can say that, and sometimes it does matter. This time, it really doesn’t. If Dallas comes back, that could take a lot of them. Utah would be fine, too.” The Wolves lost in the first round for the fifth time.Their 0-5 series record in the playoffs is the worst among all NBA franchises. “It’s getting pretty old,” Timber wolves guard Terrell Brandon said. “The fans want something else to happen, and they deserve it.” Robinson came up with a pair of big baskets after Minnesota’s Bran don and Anthony Peeler, both score less in the first half, hit back-to-back three-pointers with less than six minutes left to make it 75-73. “There was a tough stretch where we got into a slump there,” said Robinson, who had 14 rebounds. “Coming back down the floor, I felt pretty good so I put them up there. Finishing out this game means so much to me.” Furnished 1,2 & 4 Bedroom Apartments • Washer/dryer in each apartment • Close to campus • On bus route to campus • Electronic alarm systems • Fully equipped kitchen • Private bedrooms/individual leases • Computer lab, copier and fax availability • Starting at $320 • Heated swimming pool • Basketball and volleyball courts • Roommate matching service NOW LEASING!
