SPORTS BRIEF Attorney attempts to get Danton moved ST. LOUIS — An attorney for Mike Danton did not succeed the first time, so he's trying again to get the St. Louis Blues hockey player moved from jail to a secure medical facility to be eval uated for possible psychological, medical or addiction problems. Lawyer Robert 1 laar filed papers Tuesday seeking to have Danton's de tention order revoked or amended. The written motion mirrors I laar's spoken arguments at a bond hearing Friday, where U.S. Magistrate Judge Clifford J. Proud ordered Danton jailed until trial. I laar now wants a second opinion from another federal judge. Danton, 23, a Canadian who had an apartment in the Brentwood sec tion of St. Louis, is charged with two counts arising from an alleged mur der-for-hire scheme. At last week's hearing in court at East St. Louis, I laar made much of the "gut-wrenching, emotional" conver sation between Danton and his al leged target, Danton's sports agent David I'rost. In the motion, I laar said the conversation shows why Danton needs evaluation and treatment. One difference is that the written motion provides I laar with the op portunity to cite legal precedents that he believes show that Danton has been unfairly detained. He also noted that Danton's al leged accomplice, Katie Wolfmeyer, 19, of Florissant, is out on bond. But Danton's largest hurdles were noted by Proud when he decided to keep Danton jailed: Phe hockey play er has no family in the area, is a Cana dian citizen, and said during a conver sation with Frost that he considered fleeing from authorities. All that prosecutors needed to keep Danton detained was to show that he was more likely to flee than not; that's what Proud decided last week. — Michael Shaw St. Louis Post-Dispatch (KRT) Danielle Hickey Photo Editor Markus Schiller (left) and Chris King have kept the Ducks steady this season. CAREER continued from page 7 While his win totals have decreased since his sophomore season, his 49 career singles victories puts him in 11th place all-time at Oregon. King's role on the team isn't just about wins and losses. 1 lis upbeat at titude and his positive reinforcement toward his teammates is what makes this senior stick out. "He's always having fun, even at practice," fellow Duck Arron Spencer said. "You will be down and he will always have a wise comment or joke to bring you up." Spencer remembers a time last year when King's fun-loving spirit and laid-back attitude helped him out. "It was my freshman year, and it was kind of intimidating to go down "He's always having fun, even at practice. ...You will be down and he will always have a wise comment or joke to bring you up." Arron Spencer Oregon sophomore and play UCLA and he just helped me in his own way to just take it as anoth er match," Spencer said. King's uplifting spirit and never say-die attitude may best represent what this year's version of the Oregon men's tennis team is about. 1 lis team mates recognize his fire to win and the fight he has in every single match. I le shows heart and determina tion every time he is on the court," Spencer said. King's spirit is personified in his thoughts against their first-round op ponents Friday, last year's NCAA run ner-up Vanderbilt. "My theory is, what do we have to lose?" King said. "They're the ones under all the pressure so hopefully we can just play loose, boost our game, have some fun and pull off the victory." While the rest of his teammates will probably see greater success in the fu ture of this up-and-coming tennis program at Oregon, King's "lets just have fun" attitude should not be forgotten.

CONFIDENT continued from page 7 Andrus' efforts helped her signifi cantly for a return trip to the NCAA Championships in Austin, Texas, in four weeks. 1 ler point total boosted her up to 12th nationally; other con ference championships will take place soon. It is expected that the top 24 heptathletes will be invited to the na tional stage. Nevertheless, Andrus is confident her score is good enough. "I will probably most likely make nationals," she said. Getting back Junior Sarah Malone, Oregon's javelin record holder, is looking to re cover from an injury suffered two weeks ago. Malone said she hurt her rib area "I just got to rest a little bit.... It's not bothering me enough to really hurt me that bad. I don't think it's going to hamper me at all." Sarah Malone Oregon javelin thrower while practicing javelin throws, which prevented her from competing in the season's last meet, the Oregon Twi light, at I layward Field. However, Malone does not antici pate the injury having a big effect on her come the Pac-10 Championships starting this Saturday. "I just got to rest a little bit," Mal one said. "It's not bothering me enough to really hurt me that bad. I don't think it's going to hamper me at all." Malone has breezed through her competition, winning the javelin event in the past three meets she's par ticipated in. One of those meets in cludes the Texas Relays five weeks ago, where she broke her own school record with a throw of 179-7, and also defeated her strongest rival, USC's Inga Stasiulionyte, who will also com pete this weekend. Stasiulionyte, the 2001 NCAA Javelin Champion and two-time NCAA runner up, will pose the biggest challenge, Malone said. "She's going to be my competitor," Malone said. "My biggest competi tion at nationals too, so it'll be a good competition and I'm looking forward to it." Contact the sports reporter at alextam@dailyemerald.com.
