The local food bank will use the event to raise funds to help allevi ate hunger and increase awareness of the growing hunger problem in Oregon. “We want it to be a fun day,” said Angela Severson, event coordinator for Food For Lane County. “We also want people to come out and sup port hunger relief in the area.” The day will feature a one-mile family walk, a five-kilometer walk and run, and a 10-kilometer run. Registration is from 7 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. After the event, Zambuko Marimba will perform, and Evelyn Roth Festival Arts will provide sto rytelling and other activities for children. Severson said the food bank hopes to raise $15,000 during the day. In a report released Thursday, The Center for Poverty and Hunger named Oregon the state with the highest amount of hunger — the uneasy or painful sensation caused by a lack of food — and the third highest amount of food insecurity — when access is limited to nutri tionally adequate and safe foods. Researchers found more than 14 percent of Oregon’s households are food insecure, and 6 percent of the state’s households are hungry. “There are a lot of stereotypes on the reasons people go hungry,” Sev erson said. “It’s important to know that in this economy, any one of us could need assistance.” —John Liebhardt for the Emerald Scrimmage continued from page 2A Amid the mishaps, however, Oregon’s quarterback situation seemed to take shape. Jason Fife emerged yet again as the favorite after completing 8 of 17 passes for 122 yards. The four other quarterbacks vying for time this season threw for only 64 yards on a combined 5-for-20 performance. Fife’s arm wasn’t the only thing that impressed Bellotti, however. “I like Jason Fife’s escapability,” Bellotti said. “He made some plays. I thought he was the victim of a couple of significant drops, unfor tunately. But overall, (he) operated the offense well.” After shaking off some early butterflies, Fife appeared comfort able in the pocket and threw the ball crisply. “I got a little worked up there at the beginning,” Fife said. “It took me a series or two to get rid of the jitters and start playing football again.” Bellotti said Fife is still No. 1 on the depth chart, followed by Kellen Clemens and Scott Vossmeyer. Clemens, who was intercepted once, finished the game 0-for-5. Aside from evaluating the Ducks’ overall productivity, Bellotti said he hoped to use the scrimmage as a measuring stick for individual per formances. Established players such as tailback Onterrio Smith and cornerback Steven Moore played sparingly, allowing others to receive attention. Freshman tailback Terrence Whitehead relished the moment as the Ducks’ leading rusher. White head showed crafty moves and ex plosive quickness Saturday as he amassed 88 yards on 10 carries. “Terrence Whitehead, obviously, was a bright spot,” Bellotti said. “He ran with authority, and he did some good things. I’m pleased.” And while Bellotti may not be ecstatic about his team’s perform ance, the scrimmage proved to be a necessary step in gauging where Oregon stands. With the Aug. 31 season opener against Mississippi State quickly approaching, the Ducks still have time to hone their skills and work out any kinks. “We haven’t quite clicked com pletely yet,” Fife said. “It’ll happen in the next two weeks, guaranteed.” Contact the sports editor at bradschmidt@dailyemerald.com.
