Sports briefs Warsaw Classic to shoot out Parkinson’s disease The fifth annual Warsaw Clas sic, a 3-on-3 basketball tourna ment established to raise money to research Parkinson’s disease, will be held Saturday at McArthur Court. As many as 96 teams of four can register for the tournament, which includes a women’s-only bracket for the second year. Teams are guaranteed at least three games. Students from the University’s Warsaw Sports Marketing Center created the event in 1998 to honor Jim Warsaw, the center’s founder who is afflicted with Parkinson’s disease. The event raised $5,000 in its first year and has since donated more than $41,000 to the National Parkinson Foundation. Co-chairman Jason Racette said the goal of this year’s Warsaw Clas sic is to raise $20,000. “This is a very important cause and it helps give back to a man who has given so much to the U of O,” Racette said. Registration is available at the event’s Web site at www.Warsaw center.com/3on3. Registration, which includes T-shirts and food, is $40 per team. Donations are also ac cepted. Pistons return from Toronto after double losses TORONTO (KRT) — Staggered from two poor games in Toronto, the Detroit Pistons are coming home for a Game 5 Thursday night because they didn't play well enough to win either game. Using the inside strength of Keon Clark and the outside shooting of Morris Peterson, the Raptors tied the series at 2, beating the Pistons, 89-83, Monday night. On Saturday, it was Antonio Davis bruising the Pistons' inside players. On Monday it was Clark, who scored 19 points and pulled down 15 rebounds in his first 25 minutes of action. He finished with 19 and 16. Neither Ben Wallace or Cliff Robinson was able to contain Clark, who entered the game averaging 11 points and six rebounds. Wallace had 12 rebounds and two points. Robinson had 11 points and three rebounds. Peterson had 20 for Toronto, making 8 of 12 field-goal attempts. Jerry Stackhouse made just 6-of 18 shots and scored 15; Chucky Atkins had 20. Corliss Williamson had 14 off the bench, but was just 4-for-13 from the field. Detroit shot just 38.4 percent from the field Monday. Toronto simply dominated the hustle plays, play ing with more desperation than the Pistons. Twelves minutes from having to play a Game 5, the Pistons started the fourth quarter slowly and fell behind even further when Peterson and Hakeem Olajuwon scored on consecutive trips down the floor to increase the home team's lead to 70-61 with 9:26 to play. Peterson, who'd sputtered most of the series, then scored six straight points to put Toronto ahead, 76-68. Jon Barry had just hit the second of consecutive three-pointers — bringing Detroit within 76-71 - when he called for a foul by Bernie Fryer. Barry, whose shoe had come undone in transition, gave the ball to Fryer and raced to the sideline to tie the shoe — and was called for a technical foul. Stackhouse made consecutive baskets to pull the losers to within three, 80-77, but Davis countered for the winners, making it a five point game. — Perry A. Farrell Knight Ridder Newspapers Pit Crew creates 3-on-3 tournament The Pit Crew can’t get enough basketball, so it has extended the season — sort of.

Oregon will attempt to snap Hawaii senior second baseman Na talie Gonzales’ 10-game hitting streak— during which she is bat ting .389 (14-for-36) with four runs, a triple, and four RBI. Oregon’s offense is led by sec ond baseman Alyssa Laux, who connected for a two-run home run that sparked the Ducks four-run sixth inning against Arizona State on Saturday. Laux has raised her average to .349 and is followed by first baseman Andrea Vidlund’s .328 average. Freshman Mari Lyn Petrick has been coming on strong lately for Oregon, and head coach Brent Rincon has increased her playing time and raised her position in the lineup. In two of Oregon’s three games last weekend, Petrick hit in the fourth slot. She is now hitting .263. E-mail sports reporter Chris Cabot at chriscabot@dailyemerald.com. Alyssa Taux who is hitting .346 belted a two run homew Saturday against Arizona State. Jonathan House Emerald Women miss cut first time in decade Oregon senior women’s golfer Kathy Cho was selected Monday to play as an individual at the 2002 NCAA West Regional, to be held May 9 through 11 at the Stanford Golf Course. The Ducks, however, did not qualify for the regional for the first time since 1992. “It’s disappointing,” said Oregon head coach Shannon Rouillard, * whose team finished 10th at the Pa cific-10 Conference Champi- n onships last week. “It’s tough to be ^ on the bubble and not make it. But we had four underclassmen who got incredible experience this year and they will be major players for us in the future.” Cho finished tied for 17th at last week’s Pac-10 Tournament, recording a 14-over 230. For the season, the Honolulu, Hawaii, na tive has a 76.8 stroke average with five top 25 finishes. “It’s a tribute to how well she played all spring,” Rouillard said. “She is cer tainly deserving of the opportunity.” Three Duck men honored by Pac-10 Aaron Byers, a senior golfer for the Oregon men’s golf team, was named to the all-Pac-10 second team Monday. Byers, who shot a two-over 290 to finish tied for 11th in the Pac 10 Tournament in Corvallis over the weekend, led the Ducks with a 72.3 strokes per round average this year. Junior John Ellis, who finished in a tie for seventh in the Pac-10 Tour nament, and junior Chris Carnahan were selected as conference honor able mention candidates. Kevin Stadler of USC was named the conference Golfer of the Year, while teammate Ben Hayes was the Freshman of the Year. Washington State’s Walt Williams was named the Coach of the Year. 4 —from staff and wire reports Classifieds: Room 300, Erb Memorial Union PO.
