IN BRIEF
Civil War football game
could be rescheduled
CORVALLIS — Oregon State athlet
ic director Bob De Carolis is floating
an idea to move the annual Civil War
game to a Friday night after the
Thanksgiving holiday weekend.
Starting next year, the Pacific-10
Conference moves to a 12-game
schedule. As it stands, the Civil War
is usually played the third Saturday
every November.
This year’s Civil War is set for Nov.
19 at Autzen Stadium. Under the new
schedule, the game could fall closer to
the holiday break, hence the proposal.
“We’ve got a long way to go be
fore we come to a decision,” De
Carolis said.
Oregon athletic director Bill Moos
said: “There have been some discus
sions but no decisions reached. We’re
both looking at ways to make rivalry
week work in the 12-game schedule.”
There are some road blocks. The
Pac-10 schools, which approve any
schedule changes, have traditionally
been against Friday night games be
cause of conflicts with high school
games. But prep teams are in the play
offs after Thanksgiving, when games
aren’t necessarily played on Friday.
De Carolis said the teams would
work with the Oregon School
Activities Association to resolve
any conflicts.
“Any schedule change has to be
approved by the other schools,” Pac
10 spokesman Jim Muldoon said.
“But if it was just Oregon and Oregon
State wanting to move their game, I
don’t think there would be any ob
jection to that on anyone’s part.”

Volleyball: Djuric impresses Stanford coach
Continued from page 9
offense,” Stanford coach John Dun
ning said. “(Djuric) just about chewed
us up all by herself in game one. If we
don’t win that game, who knows
where the match is going to go. ”
Game one’s emotional loss
seemed to take steam out of Oregon
in game two as the Ducks came out
flat, falling behind 7-1. A six-point
run late in the game gave Stanford a
comfortable 19-8 advantage and the
eventual 30-15 win.
Oregon’s hitting percentage
dropped to 0.026 while Stanford lift
ed its percentage to 0.400.
“It wasn’t the same team that was
on the floor in game one,” Moore
said. “We got flustered and (Stan
ford) got a run of points.”
The Ducks hit slightly better in
game three (0.059) but after falling be
hind 6-1, got no closer than two points
the rest of the way, losing 30-23.
Oregon had no answer for
Richards, who hit 0.529 for the
match and freshman Foluke Akin
radewo who hit 0.444. The tandem
combined for 35 kills.
“There are people that say they
are better this year than they were
last year,” said Moore, referring to a
Stanford team that went 30-6 last
season. “They’re great. They are go
ing to put the ball on the floor a
good amount of time.”
The Ducks did, however, hold
Pac-10 kills leader Cynthia Barboza
to only six total kills. The freshman
is averaging 4.67 kills per game.
Oregon’s defense has been
among the many surprises this sea
son for Moore. The Ducks are aver
aging 2.7 blocks per game, a steady
increase over last season’s average
of 1.94 blocks per game.
Junior outside hitter Erin Little
leads the team with 48 blocks this
season after 15 matches. She had 21
blocks all of last year.
Freshman libero Katie Swoboda
has also helped anchor the defense.
She ranks among the conference’s
top 10 with a team-high 220 digs, a
4.49 digs per game average.
“They played very well and have
some good players on their team,”
Dunning said.
Offensively against Stanford, Ore
gon’s Djuric finished the match by to
taling a team-high 18 kills, giving her a
total of 35 kills in the last two games.
Senior Kelly Russell recorded 11 kills,
while Swoboda led the Ducks defen
sively, compiling 13 digs.
Oregon (10-5 overall, 0-4 Pac-10)
has another conference test when it
travels to face No. 17 UCLA on Fri
day and No. 19 USC on Saturday.
The Bruins and Trojans will be the
Ducks fourth and fifth consecutive
ranked opponents, respectively.

Football: Stewart scores three touchdowns
Continued from page 9
my legs, my brace was wrapped too
tight, everything was going wrong
and my mind was clouded and I just
wasn’t there. I was running around
with my head cut off,” Long said. “I
went out in the second half with a
smile on my face, changed my
shoes, got my little fast shoes on
and I was like, ‘I’m just going to
have fun.’ I was just running around
with my boys.”
Penalties hurt the Ducks as they
were penalized 16 times for 170
yards. Half of those came in the sec
ond half for 105 yards.
“I am frustrated by the penalties,
that were way too many,” Bellotti
said. “Some of them were penalties
of aggression. I can appreciate that. I
don’t condone it, but I appreciate it.”
It was only 9 yards from setting
the record for most penalty yards in
a game.
On the positive side, several true
freshmen outperformed the Cardinal
on their own. Running backs
Jonathan Stewart and Jeremiah
Johnson accounted for four touch
downs in filling in for Terrence
Whitehead, who didn’t play because
of an injury and started the previous
four games this season.
Stewart scored his first three offen
sive touchdowns of his collegiate ca
reer. He caught an 11-yard touch
down pass from Clemens in the first
quarter to get the Ducks on the score
board and rushed for two more
touchdowns in the third quarter.
Johnson, who was planning on
redshirting this year and worked on
the scout team, rushed for a team
high 63 yards on 11 carries and
scored his first career touchdown on
a 5-yard run in the fourth quarter.
Long wasn’t the only veteran that
stepped up. Clemens, who threw for
393 yards in less than three quarters,
became the fourth Oregon quarter
back to surpass 7,000 career total
yards. He is just 8 total yards from
passing current Detroit Lion quarter
back Joey Harrington and 17 passing
yards from surpassing Chris Miller
for fourth on the all-time passing
yardage list.
