plenty of learn before
he becomes a key
player for the Ducks. A
native of Tallahassee,
Fla., Gilliam has been
penciled in as the
No. 2 left corner and is

role in the special

second scrimmage of the spring less
than two weeks ago.
He is fast, perhaps one of the quick
est members of the team. But that
quickness can only take him so far.
"Ryan Gilliam has certainly done
some things as a returner and has
shown some flashes of brilliance
based on his speed," Bellotti said. "He
needs to play faster, though. I think
that will come."
That speed has also made him a
valuable part of the Oregon track and
field team. At the Pepsi Team Invita
tional, he ran the 100-meter dash in
10.72 seconds, good for second place.
Even though the football Ducks
will play in the annual spring game
Saturday, Gilliam expects to partici
pate in the Oregon Twilight later in
the day at Hayward Field. He said he
expects to compete in at least the 100.
"I've already qualified for (Pacific
10 Conference Championships)," he
said. "I'm trying to get into the NCAA
Regionals. I've got to shave my time
by about eight more tenths in the 100.
Track's going real good right now."
One more catch about Gilliam:
He's doing all of this far away from
home. He's the Oregon football
player who has to travel the farthest
just to get home.
Tallahassee is 2,960 miles away
from Eugene. By car, that's approxi
mately a 45-hour drive. By plane, that
can take up to eight hours.
"It's just a part of growing up," he
said of the move. "You've got to expe
rience that, got to go through it. It's
done with now. I'm happy to be here
in Eugene. It's great weather. I'm glad
I'm here instead of home right now.
I'd be sweating and miserable."
To the spring game
Bellotti indicated at Tuesday's prac
tice that the spring game this year will
be more in the form of a scrimmage,
which is due to the team's lack of
depth on both the offensive and de
fensive lines.
The game starts at 12:30 p.m. Sat
urday. Those interested in attending
the workout can gain entrance into
Autzen Stadium by donating three
non-perishable food items, as "re
quested" by Oregon.
The game will be televised on Com
cast Television (channel 14 in Eugene)
and on KlIGN Radio (590 AM).
When all is said and done
Oregon had four players selected in
the annual NFL Draft.
Keith Lewis, Sarnie Parker, Igor Ol
shansky and Junior Siavii all heard
their names called. Three others,
though, could join them on NFL ros

Defensive end Quinn Dorsey
signed as an undrafted free agent with
New England. Kevin Mitchell signed
with Miami, joining former Oregon
quarterback A.J. Feeley, who was ac
quired by the Dolphins from
Philadelphia during the offseason.
In a familiar situation, Jason Fife will
be reunited with Joey Harrington. Fife,
who was Harrington's understudy at
Oregon, signed with Detroit and is ex
pected to battle Rick Mirer and Mike
McMahon for a backup spot.
"I think that's awesome," Oregon
quarterback Kellen Clemens said of
Fife's signing. "It's intriguing to see Ja
son and Joey playing now again to
gether. Jason deserves to have a shot at
that level."
Also of note, Lewis will be joined in
San Francisco with some familiar
faces.
Oregon State linebacker Richard
Seigler was drafted in the fourth
round, while safety Lawrence Turner
and placekicker Kirk Yliniemi, both
former Beavers, signed as undrafted
free agents.
The 49ers also hold the rights to
former Oregon running back Allan
Amundson, who has made the
switch to cornerback and plays in
NFL Europe.
