comprised of his recruits, nor would
the team's coaches. It would be hard
for him to succeed, especially since
the team is already 1-4 this season.
And the character issues still remain.
Price never had any public prob
lems in Pullman, but the fact he had
his indiscretions at a time where col
legiate coaches are under the micro
scope hurt him.
Had Price visited strip clubs 20
years ago, it's probable nothing would
have been made of it. Now, though,
any kind of major slip-up can cost
someone their job.
That doesn't make what he did
right, so to hire Price would send the
wrong message to the rest of the Pac
10 and the nation. It would say that
character isn't valued and that win
ning is all that's accounted for.
The critics of collegiate sports
would have a field day if he were to
take over.
Besides, the turmoil surrounding
the Wildcats' program could be cut
with a knife, so why add a question
able character to the equation?
Names like Boise State head coach
Dan Hawkins are being mentioned
as a possible successor, so there
should be definite interest in the
program. But why not go after the
likes of former UCLA head coach
Bob Toledo or USC offensive coordi
nator Norm Chow?
They don't carry any baggage with
them and have had recent success
with their teams.
Regardless, at this point the Wildcats
shouldn't be in a hurry up mode to find
the new face of Arizona football.
To hire Price would be a step in the
wrong direction.

Despite being in eighth place after
two rounds, the Ducks are only nine
strokes behind third place Brigham
Young. Oregon's two-round total of
753 is 22 strokes behind tournament
leader Washington. Oregon State
stands in second at 740.
The Husky Invitational will con
clude with today's single round. The
54-hole tournament requires six
golfers to compete for each team, tak
ing the best five scores into considera
tion. Most tournaments require only
five players to compete, counting the
top four scores.

SOFTBALL
continued from page 7
Looking for talent
Oregon's short fall exhibition in
cludes two days — today and
Wednesday — of tryouts for walk
on players.
"We're going to look at every
body," Arendsen said. "We have the
option of keeping one just in addi
tion to what we have, and also if
they're better than someone we
have, we'll make the move. We
strongly encourage everyone."
One current Duck who joined the
team through walk-on tryouts said it
was a way to get back into softball.
"I was recruited to go play," Se
nior Heather Munson said. "At the
last minute 1 decided not to. Then 1
decided I wanted to play later.
"It was more or less just a chal
lenge to myself. It was an awesome
experience. It's tough and a little
bit of pressure, but definitely a
good experience."
Women interested in trying out
should contact assistant coach Mike
White in the Oregon softball office
at 346-3393.
"It is a legitimate opportunity for
a student who maybe kind of
slipped through the cracks in the re
cruiting process to have a chance to
play on a hopefully top-15 softball
program," Arendsen said.
The Ducks play two more games
this fall, hosting a tournament on
Saturday and Sunday at Howe
Field, before beginning their sea
son in February.
