Sports brief Athletic Department names new women’s tennis head coach The Athletic Department an nounced this past week that Nils Schyllander, who served as assis tant women’s tennis coach for the past three years, has now stepped up and filled the vacant position of head coach. Schyllander takes over a program that went 14-11 this past year, ad vanced to the NCAA Tournament and finished the year ranked No. 33 nationally — the highest ranking in the program’s 29-year history. He replaces Jack Griffin, who, cit ing family reasons, resigned June 30. Schyllander said he has already spoken with players and that they seem just as excited as he is about the upcoming season. He also said the recruits coming to Oregon next year are among the school’s best ever. So, despite this past season’s success, Schyllander said the team is far from satisfied. “I expect us to keep building on the success we had,” Schyl lander said. At the age of 30, Schyllander — now the eighth women’s tennis coach in Oregon history — has a diverse resume. He has mentored four nationally ranked junior ten nis players, coordinated adminis trative aspects for the Sam Olsen Professional Academy and served as an assistant coach at Northern Arizona University. Schyllander, a native of Tessinkolan, Sweden, takes over an Oregon squad that will return five letter winners from this past year’s team. “It’s going to be a young team but also a very athletic team,” Schyl lander said. Brad Schmidt Kent continued from page 5 The USA squad will open play Wednesday against the Dominican Republic and follow up their per formance Thursday against Mexico and Friday against Argentina. Schedules remain undetermined for semifinal games, which will be held Saturday and Sunday. The tournament — now a precur sor to the FD3A Junior World Cham pionships — is held every four years and has been dominated by the USA team since its inception in 1990. The team holds a 21-game winning streak in the tournament. The USA team has also faired well in World Championship games, finishing 7-1 in 1999 and earning a silver medal. The team has an overall record of 38-9 all time in World Championship com petitions and has won three gold medals. Contact the sports editor at bradschmidt@dailyemerald.com. Schmidt continued from page 5 the draft — No. 3, to be exact. In the aftermath, Oregon had preseason quarterback workouts between two backups — AJ Fee ley and Harrington — each of whom had a small amount of ex perience, medium promise and large shoes to fill. And amid the quarterback un certainties, running back Reuben Droughns — a bruising transfer student — returned for his second season with the Ducks. Marshaun Tucker and Tony Hartley — a pair of experienced receivers — re turned as worthy targets. And Keenan Howry — an up-and-com ing wide out — stepped in to make big plays. Today, the Ducks are without Harrington — their starting quar terback — because he now resides in Detroit — a Midwest city — af ter entering the NFL draft and be ing selected — as the No. 3 pick.

Howry and Jason Willis now star as dominant weapons — the duo is recognized as battle-tested. And Samie Parker — the wide out with blazing speed — should come in and make things happen when they count most. Go ahead, dish out the starting quarterback position to the older, more experienced Jason Fife — Oregon gave Feeley the benefit of the doubt three years ago.

Chalk it up either way, it honest ly doesn’t matter. Duck football is in good hands — history says so. So where’s Joey, you ask? Joey? Joey who?

Debt continued from page 5 However, the Athletic Depart ment does expect the Autzen ex pansion to help increase revenues, and eventually, reserves. “If we were not expanding the stadium, we would be running into the point where costs in curred would be more than in come,” Larson said. Oregon’s previous capacity re strictions mirror Oregon State’s problems, Larson said. Even with an upgraded football program, the small capacity of Reser Stadium has limited the school’s revenue potential. Oregon State is well aware of its predicament. McCambridge said talks to expand Reser Stadium have become “fairly serious” and added that he hopes to see the stadium’s capacity increase from about 35,000 to about 45,000. And that move could possibly keep Oregon State’s Athletic De partment out of debt for good. Contact the sports editor at bradschmidt@dailyemerald.com.
