season with a national champi
onship with Central Arizona
College and as the 2003 Junior
College Player of the Year.
"Coach White trains us to be
smarter pitchers," Nyhus said af
ter earning one of her two Pacific
10 Conference Pitcher of the Week
awards earlier this season. "He's
taught me how to be a pitcher,
and not a thrower. 1 used to just
kind of stand out there and throw
hard and 1 got away with it."
White and Nyhus worked to
gether during the offseason to re
construct Nyhus' pitching style. A
dominating pitcher in Arizona,
Nyhus has adapted with the
changes, becoming the fourth
Oregon pitcher to win 20-plus
games in a season.
"Coach White is able to do
something that a lot of coaches
■<* and pitching coaches can't do,"
Nyhus said Monday. "1 le's taught
himself and learned from experi
ence, so he teaches his experience
to his pitchers."
White works with Nyhus, sen
ior Anissa Meashintubby, junior
Lindsey Kontra and sophomore
Amy 1 Iarris on their pitching as
well as throwing batting practice
for the entire Oregon squad.
"f le knows the mental aspects
of the game just as much as the
physical," Kontra said. "He's also
really great with helping our
team by throwing batting prac
tice every day."
Awards for the Ducks
Shortly alter the Ducks finished
their doubleheader Saturday
against California, they gathered
with friends and family at the Val
ley River Inn for the team's awards
banquet.
Five honors were given out,
with catcher Jenn Poore leading

Third baseman Ashley Richards,
who finished the regular season
with a team-leading .317 batting
average, earned Top Offensive
Player. Second baseman Erin
Goodell, who committed 10 er
rors during the season, was
named Top Defensive Player.
Nyhus, who pitched almost
half of the Ducks' innings and
struck out 177 batters this season,
was named Top Pitcher. Bullpen
catcher I leather Munson earned
Most Inspirational.
Ihe awards were voted on by
members of the team.

SPORTS BRIEF
New York could land
on 2012 Olympics short list
NEW YORK — If one listens to
deputy New York mayor Dan Docto
roff, you can't possibly imagine the
2012 Summer Olympic Games be
ing anywhere but his home city.
Traffic? No problem.
Facilities? Got that covered.
Security? New York's finest are on
the case.
But the truth is that this portal to
the world has a tough road if it is to
host the Games eight years from
now. The first hurdle comes Tuesday
when the International Olympic
Committee cuts the field of nine
contenders. In addition to New
York, bids are being submitted by
Paris, London, Madrid, Istanbul, Rio
de Janeiro, Moscow, Havana and
Leipzig, Germany.
Olympic insiders have made Paris
the favorite to host the Games, fol
lowed by New York and Madrid. Rio
is gaining momentum, as the Games
never have been held in South
America. A decision will be made
July 6, 2005.
Doctoroff believes the growing
anti-American sentiment world
wide will not play a role in the se
lection process. "It's up to 125 indi
viduals," he said referring to the
IOC. "This is not a global populari
ty contest. For some, politics may
play a role, but it's a much less im
portant factor."
Doctoroff has been given the as
signment of being the architect for
the New York bid. The linchpin to
the effort will be the yet-to-be-built
New York Sports and Convention
Complex at Hudson Yards on the far
west side.
Currently the site is the home of
railyards and auto body shops. There
are said to be 141 residents and 615
trees in the 360-acre, 26-block parcel.
A new stadium would be the home to
the New York Jets.
The current convention center is
the 19th largest in North America, lag
ging badly behind cities such as
Chicago (first) and Orlando (second).
The proposed center would run from
30th Street north to 42nd Street.
The Javits Center, the new conven
tion center complex, would play
host to six of the competitions. The
new home of the New Jersey Nets, to
be built in Brooklyn, would handle
volleyball. Yankee Stadium, or a
newer version of it, would handle
baseball, if it's still an Olympic
sport. Madison Square Garden
would be the site of boxing and
gymnastics. And, in one of the more
appealing moves, the triathlon
would be held in Central Park.

TODAY S BIRTHDAY (May 18). If
you're so smart, why ain't you rich?
You may have wondered this, even if
you're doing rather well financially. You
know there's more out there to be
won, It's like a game to you, which is
good. Don't take it too seriously. There
will be changes this year that you
can't control, but you can end up on
the right side.
To get the advantage, check the day's
rating: 10 is the easiest day, 0 the
most challenging.
Aries (March 21-April 19) _ Today is a
5 _ You can't afford to show your
friends a good time, although you'd
certainly like to. You can't afford to
turn your attention away from generat
ing income. Tell them you'll play later.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) _ Today is a
9 _ You enjoy planning ahead, so
write down what you want to be, do
and have in the coming year. Don't
put it off. There won't be a better time
to do this.
Gemini (May 21-June 21) _ Today is
a 4 _ It’s always darkest just before
the storm ... or dawn, or something
like that. Anyway, the good news is
that you'll feel fabulous by Friday. Take
care.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) _ Today is
an 8 _ You have some of the best
friends and associates in the world.
They'll be there for you whenever you
call. You don't have to explain. They
love you, and that's reason enough.
Do something special for them.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) _ Today is a 5 _
Be respectful and attentive. This isn't
the time to bring up grievances. You'll
be past the tough part in just a few
days. Look sharp, and you'll make it
through with flying colors.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) _ Today is a
9 _ Your point of view is broadening.
You'll never be the same. Without
even trying, you're seeing farther than
you've ever seen before. It's one of
those life-changing experiences. Soak
it up.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) _ Today is a
5 _ Before you go shopping, read the
ads and surf the Web to see what
other people pay for similar items. You
might find a deal that you can't pass
up, and that would make it all worth
while.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) _ Today is
an 8 __ Confirm your relationship in
terms you can live with for a long
time. You'll know the real thing when
you see it, and if it's right there in
front of you, say so. You don't have to
be in control now. This is a person you
can trust.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) _ Today
is a 4 _ Postpone your big date for a
couple of days. It'll be more fun then
anyway. Right now, you have to dig
out from under the work that's piled
up on you. Just keep at it, one spoon
ful at a time.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) _ Today
is a 10 _ You may have been hurt
before, and now you wonder if "forev
er" is an option. It is if you're with a
person who's determined to make
sure it happens. "Forever" is not a
time; it's an attitude you create togeth
er.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) _ Today is
a 5 _ You're about to make a decision
you'll have to live with for years. Make
sure you choose something classic
enough to hand down to your grand
children. Anything less just won't do.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) _ Today is
a 9 _ If you can find a quiet place to
concentrate, you'll be amazed at how
fast the time goes. You’re soaking up
the information. Put everything else
on hold for a while. This is more
important.
