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.

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.

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.

running back. 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 —

Chalk it up either way, it honest

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.
