The bus passed giraffes and lions before stopping at the elephant exhib it. Two of the four-ton animals did tricks in front of the players and fans. "It was nice actually, coming from the inner city I never got to see wild animals like elephants and lions and giraffes," Phinisee said. 'That was cool for me. And the big feast we had at the end." Family matters Junior Ramone Reed is in Califor nia with his family after his mother's death Oct. 13. Teammate David Mar tin joined Reed in the Bay Area, miss ing Monday's practice. "Hopefully Ramone will be back to morrow, that's the word from his team mates," Bellotti said Tuesday. "I'm more hopeful for Ramone's mental psyche, and 1 just hope he's ready and ready to get on with his life and that we can be a part of the healing process." Taylor returns Upon review ofTaylor's injured left wrist, broken in the Ducks loss to Ari zona State, plans for the junior have changed. Bellotti said a week ago that Taylor would be out for six weeks while he wears a cast. "Kellen Taylor's out here (today)," Bellotti said at Tuesday's practice. "He'll be cleared to play special teams and defense." Contact the senior sports reporter at mindirice@dailyemerald.com. BASKETBALL continued from page 5 to undertake this season. Steve Lavin was fired after last year's 10-win debacle, and Howland — a Lebanon native — was brought in from Pittsburgh to help reestablish the Bruins. "I've been at two other schools that were down and out (Northern Ari zona and Pittsburgh), and I've built them both back up," Howland told the Daily Bruin last week. "I have a good background to rebuild the pro gram. We have only one direction to go — that's up." Senior T.J. Cummings is expected to return to the lineup, while How land has a more-than-capable point guard in Cedric Bozeman. "I think we can be competitive," Howland said. "It was not a fun sea son to be a part of for these kids last year. They're all used to winning, so they7re going to be willing to prepare and work hard." The Bruins host Vermont on Nov. 29 at Pauley Pavilion in the first game of the 2003-04 UCLA season. Contact the sports editor at hankhager@dailyemeraid.com. THOMAS continued from page 5 scorched Oregon for 882 passing yards in the past two games against the Ducks. Go back to the Utah game when quarterback Alex Smith passed for a ca reer best 340 yards in Oregon's second loss. Then there is the Washington State game and, well, 55 Cougar points and seven Oregon interceptions lata; you've got the start of the Duck drought. Fast forward three weeks and you have an emotionally drained Oregon team. The questions still remain and the answers still can't be found. But the good news is that the Ducks are hungry. They have been hungry for three weeks. Most don't see it but they don't have to, because it's there For the Ducks, it comes down to a lack of execution. And a lack of taking care of business. During the past two months, Ore gon has been a business that has snug gled to keep up with its losses, includ ing player after player going down to injury and an 114-30 margin of defeat in the past two Pac-10 games. But when it all comes down to it, despite the loss of national fame and fortune, the team is still hungry to win. In a glance from the past, Ore gon didn't have much more than de sire and hunger prior to the 2001 sea son. Before the national recognition and multi-million dollar facilities, Oregon was just a team that found a way to win more often than not. The constant pursuit to win that lies in the heart of every athlete who has ever played in any sport was ap parent Monday evening at football practice. The fire and desire to suc ceed has been dampened. Nobody would deny that, but that happened after three losses in a row. But the fire still bums. It bums in the players' voices as they speak of their recent downfalls. It burns in their eyes as they know they're still the same team that defeated then No. 3 Michigan in front of 59,000 plus at Autzen Stadium. It bums in the way they hit, the way they run, the way they bite and claw for the first down. Saturday may be the last straw for the Ducks. A chance to get down to business and get back to the basics to defeat a Stanford team that is 0-3 in the conference thus far. If that fire and hunger is still there Saturday, Oregon will win and get back on the right track.
