Scrimmage No. 2 looms
for injiuy-riddled Ducks
Oregon is looking tor cnsp play
and less mistakes today at the
team’s second scrimmage
Spring football
Hank Hager
Sports Reporter
Scene 1: Kellen Clemens and Jason
Fife both lead the Oregon football team
on scoring drives, Chris Vincent runs
for 41 yards and one score, and Quinn
Dorsey beats the offensive line for two
sacks in the Ducks’ first scrimmage,
held last Saturday.
Yet, the Ducks aren’t happy. The of
fense is sluggish, the defense doesn’t
quite have the stopping power it needs,
and head coach Mike Bellotti comes
away unsatisfied with Oregon’s play. It
is just the end of the first week of prac
tice, but he wants the team to be fur
ther along than it is.
Scene 2: Still to be written. Check
back later today. Scrimmage two is
set to begin.
It is the conclusion of Week 2 of
Oregon’s spring practice schedule,
and what a way to end it — with an
approximately 60-play scrimmage.
The Ducks, despite suffering from
numerous injuries, are ready to get
back on the field.
And they especially want to im
prove on last week’s poor play at
Autzen Stadium.
“We’re improving every day,” Ju
nior Siavii said.
It’s only the middle of April, and
the season won’t start for at least an
other four months. A dropped pass or
missed tackle may not mean much
come Oregon’s first game against
Mississippi State, but then again, how
each player plays during the scrim
mage could have some bearing on his
standing in the future.
“They’re very important,” Eddie
Whitaker said of the scrimmages. “It
really helps. It gets you ready for game
time. It really helps you get ready for
the springgame, which is big.”
In Whitaker’s case, how he plays in
the scrimmage will be important. He is
battling Tim Day for the starting tight
end spot, and although a decision will
probably not be made until fall prac
tices start, every litde bit counts.
Whitaker and Day both will be
scrimmaging among a group of Ducks
that is battered and bruised. Kellen
Ice Cream and Coffee Parlour
Jason Fife and the Ducks look to have a better outing in their second scrimmage.
Taylor has a strained ligament in his
foot and Kevin Donoho has a broken
collarbone. Add that to Keith Allen
and Demetrius Williams, who are
both slightly injured but are expected
to play, and the Oregon wide receiv
ing corps becomes thin.
The Ducks are also thin at defen
sive line, where Igor Olshansky and
Devan Long are both out of spring
practices. Bellotti also said Robby
Valenzuela is beat up a bit from the
first two weeks of practice.
Still, he expects a hard-hitting
scrimmage from the Ducks.
“I don’t think you can get any bet
ter if you don’t practice the way
you’re going to play,” Bellotti said.
“From a scrimmage standpoint, the
only way I know to get better to teach
blocking and tackling is to block and
tackle. So whatever opportunities we
have we’re going to go at full speed. ”
Because of the fact the Ducks are
thin at the receiver and defensive line
spots, Bellotti said he expects Oregon
to run the ball more during the scrim
mage than the Ducks did last week.
Vincent led the team on the ground
last week, but the running backs as a
group have come along well.
“We’re always looking to improve,”
Ryan Shaw said. “I don’t feel like the
offense had that good of a scrimmage
last time. I feel like we’re slowly but
surely fine-tuning and improving
every day.”
Most attributed the play last week
to the fact it was the first week of
practices, and cohesiveness was still
tough to achieve.
“They’re never where I’d like them
to be,” Bellotti said. “I think that
we’re doing some good things, but
just not consistently enough at this
point to make me happy. Having
been coaching for 30 years, it’s hard
to make me happy. When the teams
battle, and they really have to fight
and scrap to get a yard, then I’m pret
ty happy, because I know we’re bat
tling and competing hard.”

meters at Pomona.
On the men’s side, freshman
Travis Anderson will look to im
prove his time of 47.09 seconds in
the first heat of the 400 meters. Ore
gon has a trio of competitors in the
800 in freshmen Tomas Finol and
Ryan Flaherty, along with junior
Adam Bailey.
Back on the mountain, Brown will
compete in the women’s long jump,
after hitting a new season best of 19
feet four and one quarter inches at
last week’s Pepsi Team Invitational.
Moyle will represent the Duck squad
in the high jump.
Moyle jumped 12-51/2 in February
and ranks fourth among Oregon’s na
tional-caliber pole vaulting squad.
In the men’s competition, senior
James March was scheduled to com
pete in the shot put, although he will
not be competing until today. March
has already earned a regional quali
fying mark by throwing 55-7; he will
be looking to improve his best so he
can peak at regionals.
The track and field squads sent a
total of 27 women athletes to Los
Angeles and 14 from the men’s
squad in throws, sprints, distance
and middle distance groups. It is a
busy weekend for the squads alto
"I'm hoping to hit a
Pac-10 and regional
qualifying mark. It's
going to be nice to
finally have some
warm weather and
not be cold and wet."
