Stanford football
fires head coach
Buddy Teevens
After third-straight losing season, athletic director
Ted Leland releases coach from Cardinal staff
BY JANIE MCCAULEY
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
STANFORD, Calif. — Three years
ago, Ted Leland thought he’d found
the right offensive football mind for
Stanford in coach Buddy Teevens.
The results eventually told the ath
letic director otherwise, and Teevens
was fired over the weekend after
leading the Cardinal to three straight
losing seasons.
“It was an extremely difficult deci
sion, but 1 simply felt that the pro
gram was in need of new direction
and leadership,” Leland said Mon
day. “It’s a tough day that we find
ourselves in, a tough place, I guess.”
Leland, a close friend of Teevens,
met with the coach last week after the
Cardinal finished 4-7 for the second
consecutive year. Stanford lost 41-6 to
arch rival California in the Big Game
on Nov. 20 for its fifth-straight defeat.
Teevens learned of his fate
Sunday morning, then met with his
players Monday afternoon.
Respected for his class and loyalty,
Teevens showed up for the official
announcement of his firing.
“Unfortunately, it’s a win-loss
business, and I didn’t win enough
ballgames,” Teevens said. “The atti
tude I have is I do believe I improved
the quality of the program. I appreci
ate the opportunity. When you look
back, there are a lot of things that are
could have, should have.”
Leland said the search for a
successor would begin immediately.
“The things that he’s built here,
they’re going to stay,” linebacker Jon
Alston said. “He started the boat
rolling. Unfortunately, with the nature
of this business, 10 wins in three years
at Stanford is just something that peo
ple don’t tend to accept.”
Teevens finished with a 10-23
record in three seasons after taking
over the program when Tyrone
Willingham bolted for Notre Dame
following the 2001 season.
The Cardinal went 0-13 down the
stretch during Teevens’ three seasons.
IN BRIEF
Club hockey and cross
country finish seasons
As classes wind down at the end
of the fall term, so do seasons for
several of Oregon’s Club sport teams.
The ninth-ranked club hockey
team ends 2004 with a two-game se
ries against Washington State at the
Lane County Ice Center Friday and
Saturday. The Ducks are sitting in
third place in the Pacific-8 behind Cal
and UCLA. The Cougars, last in the
Pac-8, are coming off a split with ri
val Washington in their last series.
Also in competition this week
end, Oregon’s running club team
will travel to Portland Sunday to
compete in the USATF National
Club Cross Country Champi
onships at Portland Meadows race
track. Oregon will send 17 athletes
to the meet that should get around
40 clubs and 700 runners from all
over the nation. The meet will be
one of the most fan-friendly cross
country races in the nation.

those Seattle boys.
It should also be noted that neither
of Oregon’s basketball teams have
found bumps in the road. The men
are 3-0 after a big win over Marshall.
The newcomers have made a notice
able impact on the fluidity and
expressiveness of the Ducks’ game.
The women stand proud at 4-0.
They claimed the Long Island Invita
tional Tournament last weekend,
and Cathrine Kraayeveld was recog
nized as the tournament MVP.
Here’s something else to make
you smile: The Oregon volleyball
team earned a win the hard way
against Portland State in its last
match of the season on Saturday. A
year ago, the Ducks finished 3-24
overall. This season, they settled
with a respectable 10-19 record.
Senior libero Katie O’Neil broke the
1,000 career digs mark during the
final match and, believe it or not,
I witnessed that accomplishment in
person. Sophomore attacker Sarah
Mason was announced as an honor
able mention for the 2004 All-Pac-10
Conference team this week.
Last, but not least, it should be
mentioned that Ron Artest isn’t real
ly a rapper, but instead a serious ex
ecutive in the music industry with
his own label: Thiwarier Records.
I’m sure I would feel ashamed eating
the leftovers my mom sent home
with me while his lyrics played over
my speakers. Fred has your back
though, Ron. Best of luck to you.

in shots (17).
For her career, French finished
with 82 shots, 38 shots on goal,
eight goals, three assists, 19
points and two game-winning
goals. Her eight goals leave her
tied for seventh all-time with
teammate Valadez.
Tough schedule hinders
Oregon's record
Another roadblock that led to
the Ducks’ 3-13-3 record was the
fact that they played one of the
toughest schedules in the country.
The Ducks played against 10
NCAA Tournament invitees and
held an exhibition match against
an 11th tournament team in
Ohio State.
Oregon posted a record of 1-8-1
against these teams, which includ
ed Arizona, UCLA, Washington,
Stanford, California, Portland, Cen
tral Connecticut State, Connecticut,
Utah, and Weber State.
Oregon sends off two
top senior performers
The Ducks also said goodbye to
two of their most consistent per
formers in seniors Christine Mintz
and Baird.
Mintz ended her career with
56 starts to rank eighth all-time
for the Ducks. Last season, she
was one of only five Pac-10 play
ers to play every minute (1,394)
of the season.
In an awards banquet a couple
of weeks ago, Mintz earned the
team’s Defensive MVP honor.
Baird returned from a serious
spring ankle injury to play the last
15 games of 2004, including 11 in a
row as a starter. She ended her ca
reer with 67 appearances — ninth
all-time for Oregon.
Baird made a successful switch
from the forward position she held
her first two years to a defender
slot her junior and senior years.
Oregon will return 22 players
next season, including six of its
eight top goal scorers.
