Soccer: Garbin doubtful for Pac-10 play
Continued from page 17
Lainez turned in two solid per
formances last weekend, allowing
only one goal against Wyoming
and Gonzaga combined. She
dropped her goals against average
to 1.94 and has allowed 18 goals
this season. Lainez also has 51
saves for the year and is on pace to
break her personal season record
of 90, which she set last year. Her
90 saves ranked second in the Pa
cific-10 Conference last year and
sixth on the Ducks single-season
list.
Injury update
French was held out of practice
on Tliesday with a protective boot
on her right foot, nursing a severe
bruise sustained against Gonzaga
on Sunday.
Freshman Jen Cameron suffered
a back ankle sprain against Gonza
ga, and her status for this weekend
is questionable.
“I don’t know exactly what the
prognosis is,” Steffen said. “But I
know that a high one is better than
a low one, but 1 don’t know about
a back one.”
7 thought I was close
enough to make the
tackle. It was a decision,
and I made it. I got the ball
and unfortunately, I got
her too. ”
Christine Mintz | Oregon defender
Junior Caitlin Gamble will be
out for a few weeks with a stress
fracture, while Valadez is day-to
day with a strained quadricep. Ju
nior Nicole Garbin, Oregon’s lead
ing scorer last year, is still doubtful
for the duration of the conference
schedule with a knee injury.
Top-ranked opponents
Four Duck opponents this week
were ranked in the top 10 in the
four major collegiate women’s soc
cer polls this week. Washington
was ranked between fourth and
fifth in the collective polls, Port
land was tabbed between fourth
and sixth, UCLA was chosen be
tween seventh and 13th, and Stan
ford was picked between eighth
and 16th.
The Ducks will travel to
Southern California today for the
opening weekend of the Pac-10
season against USC and UCLA.

Ichiro: Mariner captures
batting title with record
Continued from page 17
games than Sisler did. I disagree.
This is one of the oldest records in
that book and the bats and the balls
are still the same. The grass is still
green and the infield is still dirt. Stadi
ums still serve hot dogs and peanuts,
granted we do have the option of garlic
fries and filet mignon nowadays.
The art of hitting has not evolved
like cooking has. For instance, 1 have
the ability to grill a better
hamburger on my George Foreman
now than some diner cook in the
1940s.
Ichiro didn’t hit .400 but he still put
the stick of wood on the
leather-wrapped ball of string and
broke a record. He had only 48 walks
in a whopping 704 at-bats, the second
most in baseball history. He won an
other batting title with a .372 average.
That’s 10 points better than Bonds, so
throw him a frickin’ bone.
The most hits I’ve ever gotten in a
season was five and they didn’t come
on a baseball diamond. My career-best
came on the playground in second
grade during recess when 1 kept taking
Suzy Wright’s swing. Boy, did I have a
tender shoulder for the next week.
Even if St. Helens starts stirring
again and the sky fills with ash, I’ll still
be babbling about Ichiro and every
thing he has done for baseball. You’re
lucky I didn’t pay more attention in my
geology class, or you’d be reading
about tectonic plates, subduction
zones and calderas.

Horoscope by Joyce Jillson
TOOAY'S BIRTHDAY (October 7). This is the
year you've been waiting tor. A major growth
spurt in your emotional life manifests itself in
the next two months. On the other side of this,
you're ready to comfortably and responsibly
take on more than you ever have. Finances
are much improved through the holidays, but
spend wisely, even on the little things, to stay
lucky. Your lucky numbers are: 3,20,50,31
and 23.
The moon is void early in the day, so if you're
not sure how you're feeling, don't worry
about it. The tendency is to doubt your plans,
but resist the second-guessing game. Just do
what's on your list, and count yourself among
the productive people. The moon enters Leo
in the afternoon, and you'll start to regain con
fidence in your direction.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Sure, you've got
a fabulous sense of humor, but do not always
be joking. Sigmund Freud argued that there
are no jokes. Consider the subtext of what you
are saying to others and how your words
might make them feel.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The past is no in
dicator of where you're going. Surprising
turns are in store. Not even you could have
predicted where you'll end up. Make the most
of your opportunities by getting organized.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You'll hear from
the old peanut gallery today. It seems certain
people always have an opinion, but seldom is
it one that helps you on your quest. That's
why it's important not to show anyone your
half-finished works.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Just when you'd
like to stay in and be comfortably cocooned
from the rest of the world, you should go out
instead. Make yourself accessible, and make
your talents known. This is no time to coddle
yourself.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). There is a mountain to
move, and you're the one who's got to do it.
Luckily, this mountain comes in the form of
scraps of paper, two-minute tasks and "er
rands" that can be accomplished online or
over the phone.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Sometimes, you
act on impulse, but more often, you act on
second thought. In matters of romance, you
benefit from doing the former, but in busi
ness, you're better off doing the latter.
Tonight, deliver a sincere act of gratitude.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Try to lighten up.
It's not as though the hopes and dreams of
your entire family are riding on your shoul
ders. OK, so maybe they are a little bit. But
that's their problem. Your responsibility is to
follow your own bliss.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Nothing annoys
you like people who feel entitled to a station
they've done nothing to deserve. So remem
ber that you, too, should get to your rightful
place through the merit of your actions, not
through presumption.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your mind
is filled with "if onlys." If only I were thinner,
richer or more successful, then I could be at
tractive to X. This is all teen fantasy stuff, but it
gets you thinking about your goals again. Oh
yeah, goals -- remember those?
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You'll notice
that you're powerful -- more powerful than
you thought you were. Perhaps that's why
friends and family tend to duck behind you for
cover. Your strength is your willingness to
confront what needs to be confronted.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You're focused,
centered and ready for anything. That's why
people come to you when they're wondering
what to do next. Take time to prepare not only
for your own activities but also a list of tasks
you can possibly delegate.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Though diplo
macy has gotten you this far, now it's time to
overstep your boundaries. You are admired
for your audacity. People around you were
just waiting for someone to say what was on
everyone's mind.
