You cheated*.* and we like it* So, it's time once more for Peter Hockaday’s Weekly Sports Poll, and we must say that last week we noticed a little fishy business going on with our poll. A little “cheating,” if you’d like to be so harsh. You see, we announced the poll in Thursday’s paper, a few daysafter we actually put it on the Web site. The question was “Who has the best chance to win a national title?” at last week's NCAA Championships. Of course John Stiegeler had already won the javelin championship. However, after we notified you of the poll’s existence, distance runner Jason Hartmann’s votes kept climbing. Hartmann, who finished third in the 5,000-meter race Wednesday night, would eventually win the poll with 49.2 percent of the vote. Stiegeler, who won the javelin, and Santiago Lorenzo, who won the national decathlon title, each received 16.9 percent. This week we’ve got a doozy of a poll for you all. In a tie-in with our season-ending “Emerald Emmie” awards (to be announced in Monday’s final issue), we ask you which Oregon athlete was the Most Valuable Player of the 2000*01 season. So who was MVP? Was it women’s basketball star Angelina Wolvert, quaterback Joey “Heisman” Harrington, women’s soccer’s all-time leading scorer Chalise Baysa or Lorenzo, the national champ? Go online to www.dailyemerald.com and click the “sports” link to vote in the poll. And this week, please don’t cheat. The brief is now over. Go vote. Ems continued from page 1 The Padres also made their pres ence felt in Portland, as they picked up the resurrected Portland Beavers as their Triple-A affiliate. “San Diego has been terrific,” Beban said. “I’ve know Kevin Towers (Padres general manager and native of Medford) a long time and they were my number one choice. They draft a lot of high lev el college players, so that will be good for us.” Tuesday marked the first day of the Major League Baseball Draft and the Padres selected 12 college players in the first 14 rounds, in cluding Oregon State outfielder Josh Carter.. Carter may be one of the 25 or so players wearing an Emeralds uni form on June 19 when they open up their campaign on the road against Yakima. “We’re all very excited to start the season,” Beban said. “The success of the Seattle Mariners has whet the appetite for the fans in this commu nity to come out to the park. I can’t •. wait. “June’s my favorite month.” Call (541) 346 4343 or stop by Room 300 Erb Memorial Union to place your ad today. P.O.

GEMINI (May 21 -June 21) — Today is an 8 —You may start to feel more protective about feelings you once professed boldly. This does n't mean you're losing interest. It could mean you're starting to gel serious. Select the perfect CANCER (June 22-Juiy 22) — Today is a 4 — Mercury went retrograde on Monday, which explains some of the breakdowns you've expe rienced. Those breakdowns are associated with communication errors, as you may ret Jl. Hand-deliver whatever you can. That'll help — if you don't get a flat tire. Keep laughing! LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is an 8 — Discretion is advised. You're gathering all kinds of information, as well you should. People tend to mist you with it.

You were just about to get going anyway, right * CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is a 6 — There's still a lot of confusion, which you're managing quite well.
