Cheer: Team creates first-place routine
Continued from page 5A
developing a routine on their own,
forgoing the usual route of hiring a
professional choreographer.
“We were able to focus on what
we were good at,” senior squad
member Haley Harris said.
The team concentrated on foot
ball and basketball routines for
most of the fall but were finally able
to work on the national contest’s
performance starting in January.
“We tried to make our routine a
little flashier, a little more creative,”
Cotton said. “It had a really interest
ing flair to it.”
The Ducks began practicing their
contest routine at 7 a.m. workouts that
left many members “black and blue.”
Oregon cheerleaders fought
through sprained ankles, black eyes
and the occasional concussion. Kel
si Metzler competed following ante
rior cruciate ligament surgery and
Richard Cunningham battled on
with a torn meniscus.
“When we’re bleeding, I don’t want
to cover it up. I want to walk up to the
(Casanova) Center and be like, ‘Look, I
get jacked up too. I don’t wear pads,”’
Cotton said half-jokingly.
During these early-morning
sessions, the Ducks became a
well- oiled machine. Besides honing
aerial techniques and perfecting
tumbling moves, the Ducks cement
ed a trust that became unbreakable.
“We wouldn’t do any of the
things we do now if we didn’t have
full confidence in the people around
us,” Fryback said. “That carries
over into the routine ... I can look
around and know they’re going do
their absolute best.”
Cotton, who said he took corti
sone shots to compete in the main
event, competed through his pain
because of those bonds.
“If it weren’t for these people, I
wouldn’t have done it,” he said.
Fly fishing: Scenic vistas add to river's charm
Continued from page 5A
going to be on the water,” he said,
adding that going with a more experi
enced fisherman is often the best op
tion for newcomers.
His advice is especially useful at
the Metolius, where the level of
difficulty is fairly high. The winter
trout tend to lie down and aren’t as
active in the water, creating a chal
lenge for many anglers.
“It can be a tough river to fish.
It’s not a beginning river, although
it is very wadeable in spots,” said
Peter Cadigan, who works at The
Caddis Fly Angling Shop. “I think
the fish can be pretty selective.”
Because the river isn’t stocked,
the native fish are often hard to fool.
Still, the possibility for catching a
nice-sized trout is feasible; Brent-Fulps
caught a 16 to 17-inch fish.
The river has different kinds of
trout, ranging from rainbow trout,
which can vary in size from about
eight to 20 inches, to the bull trout.
The rainbow trout can vary in size
and the bull trout are a bit larger at
12 to 30 inches.
To get outfitted for a trip to the
Metolius, students lacking gear can
head to a local fly shop. Purchasing
gear for fly fishing can easily deplete a
paycheck, but shops like The Caddis
Fly Angler Shop on 168 W. Sixth Ave.
rent out gear packages for a day or
weekend of fishing. Students can get
waders, a rod, a reel and line for $30 a
day or $50 for an entire weekend.
Another essential piece of gear is the
fly itself. While students can tie their
own with a bit of help, Brent-Fulps
said it is easier and cheaper to pur
chase them from a shop. For trout fish
ing on the Metolius, the preferred fly
for February is the Blue-Winged Olive
fly; as May approaches the Little Yel
low May fly will be a good option.
Students will also need fishing per
mits, which go for about $25, and to
check fishing regulations for the river
to see if it is catch and release.
“I would definitely stress that catch
and release is the best way to fish,”
said Brent-Fulps.
In “A River Runs Through It,” Brad
Pitt’s character said he’d never leave
Montana. Perhaps if he had been to
the Metolius River with its picturesque
scenery and challenging fly fishing he
would have changed his mind.

Smith: New signees have home-run inclinations
Continued from page 5A
40 homers a year is a good thing.
And I have to say this: There is no
curse that hampers Seattle’s ability to
hit home runs at Safeco Field. Sup
posedly Safeco Field gave up the
most home runs to visiting teams last
year. If everyone else is hitting home
runs, why can’t the Mariners?
The additions of Beltre and Sex
son should also be a big help for Bret
Boone. Last year, Boone was expect
ed to be the big bat of the lineup, and
he struggled because of it. This year,
with Beltre, Sexson and Bucky Jacob
sen all hitting around him, Boone
should be able to return to his 37
homer, 141-RBI form of 2001.
The only thing that is still in ques
tion for the Mariners is their pitching.
Last year, the starters struggled, the
middle relief struggled and the bullpen
struggled. Not a good thing when you
rely on pitching to keep you in a game.
With Eddie Guardado, Joel Pineiro
and Rafael Soriano all returning from
injury, the Mariners should be able to
put together a consistent starting and
