The Meadow Club course, de signed by legendary golf course ar chitect Alister MacKenzie, measures 6,585 yards. Some of MacKenzie’s most notable golf courses include Cypress Point in Pebble Beach, Calif., Royal Melbourne in Mel bourne, Australia and Augusta Na tional in Augusta, Ga.

Ultimate continued from page 9 group of rookies, if we get a few more players like that we will be unstoppable.” Boasting a unique offense is an other key to success for the Ducks. Things seem to be falling in place for a truly unique season. “We play an aggressive, quick, long game, Dep- - per said. Translation: Oregon likes to air it out. “We put it up for the hack (re ceiver), while - running a European offense, con ducive to the long game,” Depper said. With an explosive offense and veteran players back for another year, Oregon looks to become yet another Duck team to win their conference crown. “Last year we were second in re gional, and our region is the tough est region to play in,” said Depper. “Usually our regionals are more competitive than nationals.” Included in Oregon’s regional play are such schools as British Co lumbia, Chico State, Humboldt "We play an aggressive, quick, long game" Rachelle Depper Ultimate co-coach State, California-Davis, California Santa Cruz and Stanford. “Oregon State has a team every so often,” said Depper. “Even so, they aren’t a very competitive team.” In the meantime, the Ducks will host a tournament Oct. 26-27. Among the teams scheduled to par ticipate are Reed, Pacific Lutheran, California, Chico State, Washington and Washington State, with a few other schools still undecided. Tournaments such as the Ducks’ are a way to gauge a team’s ability. We have what is, in essence, a preseason,“ said team coordinator Merill Kusyk. “Girls who have never played be fore get an idea of what tourna ments are all about. But the tourna ments don’t count.” With a lot of teams vying to make nationals, the competition will be stiff. Only two bids are given to teams in each regional, so to get back to the level the Ducks want to be, they have to hit the season in full stride. Scott Archer is a freelance writer for the Emerald. Volleyball continued from page 9 back it up with stellar play. Nelson sighting Cathy Nelson went 43-105, failed to register more than 11 wins in a season and won a total of nine Pac-10 matches as Oregon head coach from 1995-99. So would it make sense that she is now the Pac-10 volleyball columnist, lending insight into the conference’s weekly matchups on the conference Web site? Well, maybe not, but it is good to see the former Duck staying in the game. In addition, she is a television analyst and is a high school volleyball coach. The former Portland State head coach has tasted success in her career, leading the Vikings to a third-place fin ish at the Division II Tournament.
