IN BRIEF
Bonds is a popular name
in NL record books
NEW YORK — Barry Bonds won
his record seventh NL MVP award in
a walk.
Capping a season filled with sus
picion and success, the San Francis
co Giants left fielder became the old
est player to become the MVP of a
major North American professional
league. The 40-year-old received 24
of 32 first-place votes and 407 points
Monday in balloting by the Baseball
Writers’ Association of America to
earn the award for the fourth
straight season.
“I don’t know if one is better than
the other. I think they’re all over
whelming,” Bonds said. “You al
most get lost for words, the kind of
things that are being accomplished
in my career. ”
Asked how he could keep his con
centration amid the controversy,
Bonds said, “I kind of just walk
through it.”
Bonds is the only baseball player
with more than three MVP awards,
and the only one to win more than
two in a row. Willie Stargell was pre
viously the oldest baseball MVP, shar
ing the 1979 NL award at 39 1/2 with
Keith Hernandez. Charlie Conerly of
the 1958 New York Giants (38) was
the oldest NFL MVP, while the oldest
NBA and NHL MVPs were both 35:
Karl Malone of the 1998-99 Utah Jazz
and Herb Gardiner of the 1926-27

Among the four major sports,
Bonds is second in MVPs to the
NHL’s Wayne Gretzky, who
won nine.
Bonds’ season was unparalleled
statistically. He hit .362 to win his sec
ond NL batting title in three seasons
and shattered the major league record
with a .609 on-base percentage, top
ping the previous mark of .582 he set
two years ago.
He walked 232 times, 34 more than
the previous record he set in 2002 and
more than 100 better than anyone
else in baseball this season. His 120
intentional walks obliterated the old
mark of 68, also set by Bonds in 2002.
Bonds hit 45 homers in 373 at-bats,
while Beltre hit a major league-lead
ing 48 in 598 at-bats and Pujols had
46 in 592.
“I never think that I’d have a
chance to win any awards being
walked. I don’t think that’s even pos
sible, to try to keep up with these
great talented athletes when your
chances are minuscule compared to
their chances,” Bonds said.
Only 52 home runs behind Hank
Aaron’s career mark, Bonds said he
intends to play two more seasons and
is motivated by his quest to win a
World Series title for the first time.
This year Bonds became only the
third player to hit 700 career homers,
and with 703 trails only Aaron (755)
and Babe Ruth (714).
He matched Aaron’s NL record of
eight 40-homer seasons, trailing only
Ruth’s major league mark of 11, and
became the first player in major
league history with 13 consecutive
30-homer seasons.
OSU football player
arrested for assault
CORVALLIS — An Oregon State
football player charged with as
sault was suspended by coach
Mike Riley on Monday for violating
team policy, as were three of
his teammates.
Joseph Rudulph, 19, a freshman
from Sacramento, Calif., was arrested
Friday after a confrontation with an
Oregon National Guard solider at the
Headline Cafe in Corvallis.
Teammates Anthony Wheat
Brown, Whitfield Usher and Ryan
Rainwater were at the restaurant, but
have not been arrested, police said.
The university said all four are sus
pended indefinitely.
The alleged incident happened as
Staff Sgt. Gabriel Sapp was dancing
with his wife. The couple was al
legedly approached by a group of
black men, identified as Oregon State
football players.
The men began making com
ments to Sapp’s wife, who is also
black, about her relationship with
her husband, who is white, Corval
lis police said.
Witnesses said Rudulph then
punched Sapp in the face, knocking
him to the ground. Sapp, who was
celebrating his last night of leave, is
back in Iraq.
Rudulph faces assault, harassment
and disorderly conduct charges.

Hockey: Oregon captures
win, tie against Cougars
Continued from page 9
“Matt (Nuernberg) has been play
ing excellent all year,” Keeland said.
Oregon took an early lead in the
first game on goals by senior for
ward Ryan Jones and freshman for
ward Cal Brackin. The Cougars re
sponded with a late goal to make
the game 2-1 Ducks going into the
first intermission.
College of the Canyons then took
advantage of the Ducks’ lethargic
play, scoring two goals in the sec
ond period.
“We came out a little flat,”
Nuernberg said.
Assistant captain Ted Martin
saved the Ducks from a potentially
embarrassing loss with a game-ty
ing goal 12 seconds before the end
of the third period. The Ducks and
Cougars both went scoreless in the
five-minute overtime.
“Those were the best five min
utes of the game for us,” Keeland
said.
College of the Canyons outshot
the Ducks 44-41 in the series open
er, with Nuernberg blocking 41..
The weekend earned the No. 10
Ducks three points in the American
Collegiate Hockey Association
standings and upped their record
to 8-0-2.
Oregon resumes Pac-8 play this
weekend with a crucial matchup
against No. 11 UCLA. The Bruins
are tied with the Ducks for second
place behind Cal in the Pac-8.
“This weekend is huge for place
ment rankings,” said Keeland. “If
we win, we’re actually a decent
team.”
A win would put the Ducks alone
in second place with less than half
the season left to play.
“First place is (still) up for grabs,”
Nuernberg said, expecting his team
to pick up the level of play for the
battle against the Bruins Nov. 19
and 20.

tournament, Kearney was more
than content.
“We had a lot better performance to
day,” Kearney said. “We showed im
provement from top to bottom. Over
all, we have some things to work on,
but I am very pleased with the effort.”
The Cowboy Open was an open
formatted tournament and featured
17 schools from the Midwest and pa
cific coast, including host Wyoming,
Air Force, Adams State, Chadron
State, Colorado School of Mines,
Northern Colorado, Northwest
Wyoming, Fort Hays State, Utah Val
ley State, Montana State-Northern,
Boise State, Western State, Nebraska
Kearney, Western Wyoming Commu
nity College, Colby Community Col
lege, Dickinson State, Corritos
Community College and Oregon. A to
tal of 406 wrestlers competed, the
biggest turnout in the history of the
Cowboy Open.
The Ducks continue their season
with the Best of the West tourna
ment at Medford on Nov. 20. They
wrap up November with a duel
against UC Davis.

mob people makes me think of

I missed the hundreds of students
with anxious looks on their faces
and considering hara-kiri because
they swore the Pit Crew staff was
avoiding them and would run out of
shirts before they got one.
And now, I miss missing it.
It was a test of endurance, an ex
perience that any Oregon sports fan
should go through. Instead, I
walked in, past the pizza boxes and
coffee cups, the discarded newspa
pers and empty stadium chairs and
destroyed the experience.
And as much as I feel sorry and
weird about waltzing in, I really
don’t, because now I have the ticket
to one of the best seats in college
sports.
And with the team that Oregon
will put on the floor, I feel like I
have pulled off a coup or some April
Fool’s joke.
But somehow, I don’t feel quite
right.
I should have to endure more for
a shirt.
So now I know what I will do.
Next year, I’ll get there three days
early and hang out They Arrow style.
