ASSISTANT continued from page 7 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 the way with Player of the Year.

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. — John Cherwa The Orlando Sentinel (KRT) CLASSIFIEDS To place an ad, call (541) 346-4343 or stop by Room 300 EMU E-mail: classads@dailyemerald.com Online Edition: www.dailyemerald.com Room 300, Erb Memorial Union, P.O.
