Sports briefs
EPD asks for safety
on tracks
The Eugene Police Department
and Union Pacific want Duck fans to
avoid becoming Duck soup.
That’s why they’re asking fans
crossing the train tracks on the
south side of the Willamette River to
be safe about it. Many fans have
been crossing the tracks in illegal,
unsafe areas in an attempt to cut
time off the trip to Autzen.
“We’re asking fans to treat the
train tracks like a freeway,” EPD offi
cer Pete Aguilar said. “Cross where
it’s legal.”
Aguilar said the most dangerous
and most popular spot to cross is be
hind the building at 933 Franklin. He
said that the crossing is near a blind
curve in the track, and especially
dangerous when a freight train rum
bles through.
Aguilar said he and other EPD offi
cers stopped fans during the first two
games and asked them to cease
crossing the tracks illegally. He said
the officers averaged about 120 stop
and-talks per game. He said Union
Pacific officials, concerned about the
illegal crossings, will aid the EPD offi
cers during the Idaho game.
Idaho tickets
still available
About 1,800 reserved-seat tickets
were still available for this Saturday’s
game against Idaho as of Wednesday.
Reserved seats cost 829 each. About
500 tickets were still available for the
Ducks’ game against Portland State
on Sept. 21.
Those 2,300 tickets are the only
ones left for the rest of Oregon’s
home schedule. All tickets, including
standing-room only tickets, are sold
out for the Ducks’ Pacific-10 Confer
ence matchups with Arizona State,
USC, Stanford and Washington.

continued from page 2
cup. This, for the Masters and the
green jacket. The gallery is silent.
“But, hold on, wait, here come
Phil Mickleson and he drills Tiger
from behind! Oh, that was a rough
hit! Phil finally took out his years of
frustration and losing to Tiger and
just blindsided him!”
Football doesn’t need an image
change, I know. But there are so
many possibilities. Imagine football
mulligans?
“Oh, that was a bad throw by Fife.
He’d like to have that one back, he
just missed Howry by a full 10 feet.
But wait, he’s signaling to the ref, I
think he’s going to... yes! He’s going
to use his first-half mulligan on that
one! Repeat third down!”
Football bunkers?
“Fife drops back... oh\ Right into
the bunker! He’ll have to scram
ble... here comes an Idaho defend
er... and Fife kicks sand in his eye!
That should buy him some time.”
Football handicaps?
“And here we are at Autzen Sta
dium on this beautiful Saturday!
Idaho comes into this game
ranked last in the NCAA, and the
national officials have decided to
spot the Vandals 21 points in this
contest. So the Ducks will have a
little hole to dig out of at the start
of this game.”
Of course, golf has always tried to
market itself to a younger audience.
May I suggest a little football merg
ing? Starting with the cheerleaders?
“Two-four-six-eight, who do we
appreciate? Rich Beem! Rich Beem!
Gooooooo Beemer!”
Gan you imagine golf coaches?
“And Sergio looks to John Smith
in the gallery for the play. Smith ra
dios up to his offensive coordina
tor. .. holds up his fingers... it’s four!
Garcia is going with the four-iron.”
A golf gridiron?
“Vijay steps up to the tee and sur
veys the scene. He hits his drive...
oh, that’s well struck. His drive is
right on the 40-yard line there. He’ll
move it to the right hash mark and
try to get it in the endzone with his
nine-iron.”
So smack me with an “I’d rather
be golfing” sticker and call me silly,
because I’m about to march down
and patent my two new games be
fore you can. I know you wanted to,
I’m sorry. Maybe some day you can
come up with a cool crossover game
of your own.
But just letting you know, I
already patented gymna-hoops, ten
nis on ice and volley-soccer.
Wow, I’m a sports nerd.
