The Ducks dose out the regular
season with home games against
No. 10 Stanford (20-5,13-3) Thurs
day and California (10-15, 3-13)
Saturday. There is a chance Oregon
could face both teams a week later
in the Pac-10 Tournament.
If the tournament started today,
Stanford would enter as the No. 1
seed, Oregon as the No. 8 seed and
California as the No. 9 seed.
The 8 and 9 seeds play Mar. 5 at
HP Pavilion in San Jose; Calif., with
the winner fadng the No. 1 seed —
likely Stanford — March 6.
Saying goodbye
Senior point guard Kayla Steen
will play her final game at McArthur
Court Saturday against California.
The Hillsboro native will be hon
ored on senior night as the only
player on the Oregon roster not re
turning for the 2004-05 season.
Steen has battled through pain
in her left knee all year after never
fully recovering from an injury
sustained last season. The 5-foot-8
ball handler tore the anterior cru
ciate ligament and partially tore
the medial collateral ligament in
her left knee as she went up for a
fast-break layup in the season fi
nale against UCLA.
After spending playing two
seasons at Clackamas Community
Elizabeth
Arwood
2004
Kappa Kappa Gamma
supports
Beta Theta Pi and MADD
College, Steen has averaged 3.8
points and 1.9 assists per game in
two seasons at Oregon.
"She's been a great senior," Smith
said. "Given her season-ending in
jury last year, her ability to play 100
percent this year was really negated
by that. Kayla didn't wait until she
was 100 percent to come back and
try to help us. She helped us when
she was 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70 per
cent and did all that she could to be
a part of this team and fill in at times.
"It should be a big senior night to
appreciate her and what she's done
the last two years."
Looking to the future
Three little-used freshmen — Jes
sica Shetters, Ashley Allen and Cice
ly Oaks — received extended play
ing time Saturday after Arizona built
a large lead.
Allen scored a career-high she
points on 3 of 4 shooting in 19
minutes. The 5-foot-10 guard has
shown promise during her limited
playing time this season.
Shetters scored six points — all in
the second half. The 6-foot-6 for
ward played 18 minutes and also
grabbed two rebounds.
Oaks dropped in a career-high
four points in eight minutes. The 5
foot-7 guard has shown the ability
to score during practice but hasn't
seen many minutes on the court.

becoming blurred.
Recruiting visits, as documented
by players in recent months, are get
ting dangerously close to acting as
singles clubs.
"Well, you're single, we'll hook you
up," player hosts are saying. That's the
way it seemed to go at Colorado.
That led to sexual harassment, rape
and eventual shame for the Colorado
program.
Mere's the catch: As long as Col
orado wants to have a successful pro
gram — meaning lots of wins — these
parties will happen. That, for the most
part, will be the case for most pro
grams, whether it involves alcohol, or
in extreme cases, sex.
Whatever a recruit wants, especially if
he's a big-time catch, the recruit will get.
According to NCAA bylaw, under
article 13, section recruitment
(13.01.2): "A member institution may
provide entertainment (per Bylaw
13.5), at a scale comparable to that of
normal student life and not excessive
in nature, to a prospect and his or her
parents (or legal guardians) or spouse
only at the institution's campus (or,
on an official visit, within 30 miles of
the institution's campus). Entertain
ment of other relatives or friends of a
prospect at any site is prohibited."
That's a tad bit ambiguous, a state
ment that makes "entertainment" in
the eye of the beholder.
No wonder this is becoming a curi
ous situation — the NCAA is involved.

SPORTS BRIEF
Next up for Feeley:
starting Miami job
INDIANAPOLIS — The Miami
Dolphins are hoping quarterback
A.J. Feeley is proof of the adage
that one man's trash is another
man's treasure.
Quite literally.
As a small boy in Ontario, Ore.,
Feeley occasionally found himself a
victim of older kids' pranks. The 3
year-old Feeley would be running
around practice, distracting the
players on his dad's high school
football and basketball teams.
"He'd be whining or bothering
us, so we just kind of took care of
him," said Ed Garland, 41, an On
tario native who later was reunited
with Feeley at the University of
Oregon. Garland is the assistant
equipment manager for the foot
ball team.
"We'd stick him in the garbage
can. He could barely see over the
top. His dad would eventually say,
'Where's A.J.?' and we'd point over
to the garbage can," said Garland,
who also put Feeley in a locker once
"It's OK, it was a good-sized lock
er," William Feeley said with a
hearty chuckle.
At Oregon, Feeley was sand
wiched between high-profile
quarterbacks Akili Smith and Joey
Harrington, both of whom even
tually were No. 3 overall picks the
year each was drafted.
Now, as both Smith and Harring
ton struggle through their careers,
it's Feeley who's emerging as the
hope for a team that has struggled
to live up to its talent.
