A 3-part
series
Today: Football
and other UO
'astori
team last season.
“It’s helped me because I’ve been
able to take care
of my body and
make sure that I
have the energy
and strength I
need to get
through prac
tice,” Fife said.
“But I also think
that emotionally
it’s helped, too,
because there’s
been some
rough times.”
Fife is one of a handful of Mormons
on the religiously diverse football
team. The makeup of the team re
flects the religious diversity of the
Athletic Department. Many different
faiths are represented, but nothing is
more telling than the sheer number
of religious athletes.
Danny O’Neil, a former Oregon
quarterback and current pastor at
Eugene’s Calvary Church, said he
has run chapel services for several
teams. He also speaks at a weekly
Bible study run out of senior wrestler
Tony Overstake’s house and routine
ly attended by 20 to 25 athletes. He
said that the study’s attendees rep
resent a wide variety of teams, every
thing from football to volleyball to
men’s tennis.
“I’d say the number of Christian
athletes around college campuses
are all the same,” O’Neil said. “What
happens is, you get some good lead
ers that start a Bible study or start
hanging out, and then they all start
to enjoy that camaraderie. Some
thing unites them.”
Santiago Lorenzo, a star decathlete
on the University’s track and field
team, said many college athletes are
still growing into their faith, as he is.
Lorenzo, who is Catholic, regularly at
tends mass but said it hasn’t always
been so important in his life.
“It’s something you don’t gain
overnight; it’s been marinating
since you were a kid,” Lorenzo
said. “The more you marinate it,
the better it tastes.”
Lorenzo needed his faith last year
when he injured a quadricep, forcing
him to redshirt the season and leaving
him unable to defend his 2001 nation
al decathlon championship.
“When I got injured last year, being
able to pray and feel God close to me
was important,” Lorenzo said. “It
helps to connect with God. (Mass is)
one hour you forget about problems,
grades, injuries, that kind of thing.”
Lorenzo talks about his faith only if
you ask him direcdy. When he was in
jured last year, he never mentioned
anything about “God getting me
through,” or “I’ll just put my faith in
God,” even if he might have been
thinking those things. That’s repre
sentative of most Oregon athletes,
who won’t invoke their religion unless
you ask them to open those doors.
“I’m not that kind of person who
wears Jesus shirts, that kind of tiling,”
Lorenzo said. “Not that there’s any
thing wrong with that — I’m not
ashamed of it. I just leave it for myself. ”
Both Lorenzo’s and Fife’s coaches
keep their own faith off their teams.
Football’s roster is usually about 100
players, while the track and field team
hovers around 45 members. That
makes for some diversity. Football
coach Mike Bellotti runs separate
chapels for Catholics and non
Catholic Christians before games, and
O’Neil runs an optional prayer session
after football’s Thursday practices.
The religious diversity is a shock
for Lorenzo, who comes from Ar
gentina, where almost 95 percent of
the population is Catholic. The Eu
gene phone book lists 73 different
categories of churches in the area.
“Here, there’s a different church on
every block,” Lorenzo said. “You have
to find what’s right for you.”
Within Oregon’s Athletic Depart
ment, the same mantra applies: Find
what’s right for you.
Even if it means passing up drink
ing every now and then.

Men's
continued from page 9
week, but the Sun Devils didn’t give
him many open looks in the decisive
second half.
“We gotta be more aggressive of
fensively, and defensively we gotta
get stops,” Ridnour said. “We know
what they’re going to run; it’s going
to be who wants it more.”
And who wants to dance the big
dance more.
“We’re going to play with absolute
intensity — that’s our mindset,”
junior forward Luke Jackson said.
“We’re going into this tournament
trying to win it,” Ridnour said.
“This time of year is when you
gotta step up.”

Horoscope by Linda C. Black
TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (March 13). You're
lucky this year with love, games and children.
It doesn't get much better than that. There's
plenty of work, too, but the money stays
about the same. The work is most likely the
kind you've done before, with a few new
complications. Nothing you can't handle.
To get the advantage, check the day's rating:
10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) _ Today is a 6
If plans haven't gone quite as well as you'd
hoped, get a transfusion of love. It's OK to let
somebody know you have a soft side. Ask for
a hug if you need one.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) _ Today is an 8 _
Stick to the ruies you've set, regardless of
temptations. You're favored to make a big
score in a game you delight in winning.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21) _ Today is a 5 _
You can be a healer as well as an analyst.
Shift your focus to nurturing instead of being
critical. You'll be more effective.
CANCER (June 22-July 22) _ Today is an 8 _
There is something in between you and your
objective, but it might not be anything more
than time. You're good at deferring gratifica
tion, and you're getting better with practice.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) _ Today is a 5 _ Today
is about taking care of loose odds and ends,
and putting your things back in order. You
might also want to balance the checkbook
and find out exactly what you have.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) _ Today is an 8 _
If someone you love is being withdrawn and
analytical, don't despair. It's a temporary
condition. If you stay busy, it won't even
bother you.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-0ct. 22) _ Today is a 6 _
Don't complain if you get a new assignment.
It could turn into a good thing, although it's
a real challenge initially. It'll make you
stronger.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) _ Today is a 10 _
If you manage your resources carefully, you
can try something new. Don't let yourself be
rushed or stressed. The delicate nuances
must be savored.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) _ Today is a
6 _ Pinching pennies is a chore, but it can
lead to a wonderful bonus. Do without some
thing you don't really need, and get some
thing you lust for.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) _ Today is an
8 _ A kind and gentle person can teach you a
thing or two. Be willing to admit that you
could use some help with something that
hurts.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) _ Today is a 6 _
The job may be quite demanding, but the
money should be good. Stick with it a little
while longer, and acquire many benefits.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) _ Today is a 9 _
Schedule some personal time for tonight
with somebody you love. If you don't want to
clean up your place, here's an excuse to go
out.
