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.

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."

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."

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."
