Volleyball: UCLA has lost to six
top-10 teams so far this season
did early in the season and in the
spring, Moore said.
“To pull off one other (win) would
be great, but that’s where my frustra
tion lies. We haven’t been winning the
matches that we should be winning,”
Moore said.
Big names dot USC’s roster with
libero Debora Seilhamer, Staci Venski
and Bibiana Candelas all playing
prominent roles. Seilhamer leads the
Pac-10 with 6.48 digs per game. The
Trojans have won seven of their last
eight matches.
USC (11-7, 7-3) may have seven
losses, but all came against quality
competition with matches against No.
2 Washington, No. 3 Penn State, No. 4
Stanford, No. 5 Notre Dame, No. 6
Florida, No. 9 Hawaii and No. 18 Cali
fornia. Hawaii is the current home of
ex-Oregon player Sarah Mason.
UCLA (11-8, 4-6) enters after a
tough loss to Los Angeles rival USC.
UCLA lost its 11th consecutive
match to USC in four games, but
two games were within two points
including a 37-35 Trojan victory in
game one. UCLA has gone 3-3 since
hosting Oregon to open October.
Freshman Kaitlin Sather’s been a
force with four kills per game and
tied for fourth in the Pac-10 Confer
ence in service aces per game with
.44. She trails Oregon’s Mira Djuric,
who’s first with .61.
Continuing a four match road trip
that started with USC, UCLA plays
Oregon State tonight followed by
Oregon Friday and Pepperdine
on Tuesday.
“We can always play with UCLA.
There’s always a chance there, too,
but obviously ... we have to beat
those teams that we can beat,” Alle
man said.

IN BRIEF
Former All-Star Lawton
tests positive for steroids
Former All-Star outfielder Matt
Lawton was suspended Wednesday
for a positive steroids test, becoming
the 12th player penalized for violat
ing major league baseball’s policy.
Lawton, acquired by the Yankees
from the Chicago Cubs on Aug. 27
and then left off New York’s postsea
son roster, became a free agent Oct.
27. He will serve a 10-day suspension
at the start of next season.
“I made a terrible and foolish mis
take that I will regret for the rest of
my life,” Lawton said in a statement
that he read over the telephone to
The Associated Press. “I take full re
sponsibility for my actions and did
not appeal my suspension. I apolo
gize to the fans, the game, my family
and all those people that I let down. I
am truly sorry and deeply regret my
terrible lapse in judgment.”
Lawton said the positive test oc
curred after he was acquired by the
Yankees but did not answer other
questions.
The substance he tested positive
for was boldenone, a person familiar
with the tests results said, speaking
on condition of anonymity because
drug-test results in baseball are
supposed to remain secret.
“It’s a veterinary steroid. I think
it’s primarily used in horses,” Dr.
Gary Wadler, a professor of sports
medicine at New York University
and an expert on performance-en
hancing drugs. “It’s used like any
other anabolic steroid. It’s basically
injectable.”
When baseball conducted anony
mous survey testing in 2003, there
were five positive tests for bolde
none, baseball executive vice presi
dent Rob Manfred said earlier this
year. Paralympic powerlifter Darrell
Tyrone Banks was suspended for two
years last November by the U.S. Anti
Doping Agency following a positive
test for boldenone.
Wadler said the steroid also was
available under the name equipoise.
An All-Star with Minnesota in 2000
and Cleveland in 2004, Lawton hit a
combined .254 with 13 homers and
53 RBIs this season for the Pittsburgh
Pirates, Cubs and Yankees.
His positive test was the third an
nounced by the commissioner’s of
fice since the end of the regular sea
son, following those of Texas pitcher
Carlos Almanzar and New York Mets
pitcher Felix Heredia.
Baseball commissioner Bud Selig
proposed in April that an initial posi
tive for steroids result in a 50-game
suspension.

Golf: The Ducks on hiatus until late February
two on the back nine. She finished
tied for 31st.
Individually, the Ducks had three
other golfers in the top 65 in fresh
man Cathryn Bristow, junior Kim
McCready and sophomore Victoria
Wenslow, Therese’s sister. They
struggled throughout the tourna
ment and finished tied for 44th,
55th and 63rd respectively.
Rouillard wants more consistency.
“We’ve been a little up and
down, but when we’ve rebounded,
we’ve played well,” Rouillard said.
“We had a little bad luck at Sahalee
when Victoria got sick and we could
only play four, but other than that, I
think we’ve had a good fall so far.”
Pac-10 rival No. 2 UCLA broke the
course single day team record again
on Wednesday with a 12-under 276
— three strokes better than Monday’s
record. The Bruins finished with a 24
under 840, 29 shots better than the
previous tournament record. The
scores from the top three individuals
ranked top-three overall.
Three of the top teams provided
the Pac-10 with depth. UCLA, Ari
zona and Oregon rounded out a
strong showing for the conference.
The Las Vegas Founders
Women’s Collegiate Showcase was
the last tournament for the Ducks
until the University of Arizona’s
Wildcat Invitational in Hicson, Feb.
20-21,2006 at Copper River Country
Club. The time off provides an op
portunity for thejyvomen to put in
some extra time on the greens and
practice consistency for coach
Rouillard.

Horoscope by Holiday Mathis
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (November 3). You're not
afraid to lose, and so you have much to gain
this year. By your next birthday, you will have
broken through the glass ceiling of your previ
ous earnings. Communicate and put relation
ships on a positive track in December. A happy
home life helps you concentrate on career and
financial aims in March. Love is sweet with
Cancer and Leo. Your lucky numbers are: 6,30,
53,23 and 2.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). There's a discrep
ancy between the way you wish to be seen and
the way you really are. Of course, this is true tor
all people and nothing to be embarrassed
about. But do consider what would happen if
you came totally clean.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You're counting
your vices and virtues, pitting them up against
each other in the manner of someone who is
considering hiring you or dating you. Get on
your own side! You have the whole package.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Public speaking of
some kind is in the stars - perhaps you'll be in
structing a group. You come off cool, like
you've got it all together. You're the only one
who knows how scared you are.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your physical
prowess is at a peak. Take a long hike, or do an
extra grueling workout at the gym or any other
activity that puts your body in motion. Don't be
afraid of your anger. Use it.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your success in negoti
ations depends on your level of need. When
you are in need, you can't strike a bargain. Take
stock of your assets. Coming from a place of
abundance allows you to make a winning deal.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). It's a dynamic day
- you take action and beat the odds. Someone
sweet comes calling this afternoon. The flirta
tion means something in the moment, but once
the moment is gone, so is the meaning.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You act as the quality
control, the censor and the peacekeeper. Such
roles are not so fun, but you're willing to be the
‘bad guy" in order to see the group operate at
an optimal level.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You'll find your
self in a position of power and loving it! Of
course, your responsibilities are increased, too,
but you're willing to accept all that goes with
the "job."
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Multiple new
projects have you overwhelmed - tackling one
thing at a time gets them done. Keep believing
that you can have more than "just enough' to
pay your bills. You were meant for big things.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You have a
habit of freezing out the enemy. Now you would
do well to kill 'em with kindness. Warm people
up with your superb manners and social
graces.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Indefinite plans
are not enough to keep loved ones holding on -
- be specific. Tonight is perfect for doing a per
sonal inventory. Examine your current state,
and determine areas to work on.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Noble moves are
still subject to ridicule. Know when you're right,
and stay there. When all else fails, you can lead
people by letting them believe that they are
leading themselves.
