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."

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."

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.
