    IN BRIEF
White Sox take a 3-0 lead
in marathon Series game
The Chicago White Sox won the
longest game in World Series histo
ry 7-5 in five hours forty-one min
utes on Tuesday night.
Through four innings things
looked promising for the Astros.
They took a four-run lead on RBI
singles from Lance Berkman, Craig
Biggio and Morgan Ensberg and a
solo home run from right fielder
Jason Lane.
In the fifth inning, the tide turned
for the Sox. Chicago used a Joe
Crede home run, an RBI single from
Jermaine Dye and a bases-clearing
double from catcher A.J. Pierzyns
ki to take a 5-4 lead.
It stayed that way until the bot
tom of the eighth, when Lane
slashed an RBI double inside the
third base line.
The score remained tied through
five excruciating innings with both
teams trading failed rallies.
Then, in the top of the 14th in
ning, Chicago broke through on a
solo home run courtesy of replace
ment second baseman Geoff Blum.
The Sox tacked on another run
and held the Astros in the bottom of
the frame.

After blocking a punt last Saturday at Arizona, Haloti Ngata became the unofficial leader in blocked kicks. The junior has seven in his career.

are eager to accept the challenge of
continuing Oregon’s drive to a major
bowl game.
“It’s unfortunate that it had to hap
pen like that,” Dixon said of
Clemens’ injury. “But I’m going to
have to go out there and show what I
do best. I’m really confident and I’ve
got teammates that are going to help
me through this. ”
Ngata enters record books
Defensive tackle Haloti Ngata, a
likely future NFL draft pick, has be
come the unofficial leader in blocked
kicks after blocking a punt attempt
by Arizona in the third quarter, his
seventh career blocked kick. Though
records are incomplete, Ngata sur
passed the previously recorded high
of six held by Keith Lewis.
“It’s mostly about effort. It’s cool,
but it’s just what I do,” Ngata said of
the unofficial record. “(Blocking kicks)
changes the momentum a lot.”
Ngata also recorded six tackles „
against the Wildcats, giving the jun
ior from Salt Lake City 38 total tackles
on the season. He also broke up two
passes in the game against Arizona.
Injury update
Dixon, following Clemens’ injury,
was sidelined with a mild concussion
after a collision with Wildcat Darrell
Brooks. Dixon, however, passed all
tests following the game and is cleared
to play in two weeks against Califor
nia. He practiced both Monday and
Thesday this week.
Linebacker A.J. TUitele was expect
ed to, but did not make a return to the
Oregon lineup against Arizona after a
knee injury kept him out of action for
consecutive weeks.
Tliitele will practice during the two
weeks of preparation and Bellotti
expects him to play against the Bears.
“He has been progressing each
week, and he will start practice for real
on Monday,” Bellotti said of Tliitele.
Clemens’ surgery on Monday to re
pair his fractured left ankle was consid
ered a success, according to Dr. Bob
Crist, the Ducks’ Team Physician.
Clemens underwent a 90-minute
operation that “consisted of inserting a
screw toward the top of the ankle to
pull the fibula and tibia together, as
well as attaching a metal plate to aid
the healing process of a spiral fracture
in the fibula.”
Clemens’ rehabilitation is estimated
to extend a minimum of three months
and a maximum of six months. A full
recovery is expected.

Disc golf: Feldberg and Jenkins making dub team

a champion.
However, feeling like a champion
has taken its toll. The pain can be
excruciating.
“To throw it as hard as we’re
throwing it, you have to give 110
percent on one athletic move in a
moment 50 times a round,” Feld
berg said. “By the end of it my fin
gers and hand gets calloused and
sore, my shoulder is throbbing, my
chest, my legs are super tired, and
my knees are bad because I throw
so fast my inner leg muscle can’t
hold my knee cap.”
Jenkins’ ability to throw the disc
600-plus feet comes from rigorous
training.
“Most disc golfers practice, but
they don’t train. I train, lift, cardio.”
Jenkins said. “I also have to deal with
tendinitis in my elbow, and David
has tendinitis in his wrist.”
The two have sponsorships from
Innova Disc Golf, Solomon Shoes,
Huk Lab and Revolution Disc Golf
Bags. Jenkins said the sponsors pay
for tournaments, take care of hotels
and provide meals.
Sponsorship is helping the sport
thrive as well. Disc Golf is one of the
fastest growing sports around the
country. ESPN, Fox Sports and many
other media outlets are covering the
new golf phenomenon.
“Hopefully, with the increase in
prize money, it will raise the level of
competition,” Jenkins said. “People
would come out of the woodwork.”
The growth of disc golf is all Feld
berg and Jenkins desire.
“I really want the game to blow up.
It’s the type of sport that once you play
it, it’s addicting,” Jenkins said.
The NCAA is now recognizing disc
golf programs on the East coast.
“We need to catch up with the rest
of the country and get people playing
golf here,” Feldberg said.
The two resident professionals
are establishing a club team at Ore
gon. The club is still in the organi
zational stages and the pair hope to
have it up and throwing early next
term. Feldberg and Jenkins have a
tournament on campus the first or
second week of winter term to raise
money for Building Blocks, a pro
gram for grade school students.
The event is $10. Entrants receive
a free disc and a “how-to” clinic from
Feldberg and Jenkins.
