Portland Coach interviews for Job
New year, same story: Woods keeps winning
Associated Press
What better setting for Woods to
extend g o lf s longest w inning streak
in 46 years. Maui is renowned for its
monster waves, and Woods could be
riding this one toward a place in
history.
Not since Ben Hogan in 1953 has a
player won five straight tournaments.
When Woods tees it up again in a
coupleof weeks, he’ll try to match the
six straight PGA Tour events that
Hogan achieved in 1948.
The ultimate prize? Byron Nelson’s
record o f 11 consecutive victories in
1945, the one record in golf deemed
even more untouchable that Jack
Nicklaus’ 18 professional majors.

CliveCharles, the directorofthe men’s
and w om en’s soccer programs at
Portland interviewed this week for
coach o f the U.S. women’s team.
Charles, an assistant coach for the
U.S. m en’s team at the 1998 World
Cup, is considered a front-runner to
lead the U.S. women at the Olympics
in Australia, where they will defend
their 1996 gold medal. The Oregonian
reported Saturday.
Charles is in Chula Vista, Calif., where
he is coaching the men’s Olympic
team in a month-long camp
Apri 1 Heinrichs, the Virginia women’s
coach, also is a leading candidate.
S heisthecoachoftheU .S . Under-16
girls’ team and was an assistant on
theU .S. women’steam.
World Cup team assistants Lauren
G reg and Jay Hoffman also are
candidates for the head coaching job.
Tony DiCicco, who coached the
w om en’s team to the Olympic gold
medal in 1996 and to last summer’s
W omen’s World Cup title, quit late
last year to spend time with his family.
Five down, six to go.
G o lfs longest winning streak, for
years thought to be unapproachable,
crept closer into view Sunday in the
Mercedes Championship, the start o f
a new season on the PGA Tour that
had a familiar ring.
Tiger Woods won again.
“Winning is kind o f a habit for him
right now,” said Ernie Els, the two-
time U.S. Open cham pion who
matched W oods eagle-for-eagle,
birdie-for-birdie until the world’sNo.
1 player finished him offon the second

lazers 107, Mavericks 94
The Portland Trail Blazers know that
p laying only one h a lf o f good
basketball to defeat the likes o f the
Dal las Mavericks is a bad habit to get
into.
T he B lazers, u sin g 1 7-point
performances from Scottie Pippen,

T hey led by only one point at hal ftime,
but turned up their intensity to
outscore the Mavericks 32-22 in the
third and then let their reserves play
most o f the fourth.
“W e’re still not where we should be,”
said Stoudamire, who had 10 points
in the third quarter.

“Yeah, I believe someone can do it,”
Woods said before the tournament.
“You needluck. But you also need to
play well. In that stretch, I’m sure he
didn'twinevery tournament. I’msure
som ebody probably gave him a
tournament or two here and there,
which you’re probably going to need
to have happen.”
That w asn’t the case on the windy
Plantation Course at Kapalua, where
Woods and Els staged one o f the
most dramatic duels in years.
T ied for the lead at the start o f the final
round, neither player led by more
than one stroke during the final 20
holes.
going through the m o tio n s on
defense. We picked up our intensity
in the second half. We have to build
on that.”
In the decisive third quarter, Pippen
sank three 3-pointers, Stoudamire
connected with his midrangejumper
and Rasheed Wallace ruled inside
with three slam dunks.
By the time the trio had finished
scoring a combined 28 points, they
had helped turn a narrow lead into a
78-67 advantage entering the fourth.
“We played an excellent first half,”
said Dallas coach Don Nelson, who
saw forward Dirk Nowitski score 13 of
his 19 points in the first two quarters.
“Portland’s intensity level went up
and they started making some 3 s and
had us inside and then outside.
Portland is the deepest team I ’ ve seen
thus far this season.”

operates McCoy and other alternative
schools in the Portland area, also
agreed to an independent financial
review.
Oregon O utreach’s finances have
been a sticking point with the district.
members and McCoy supporters
disagreed over what exactly the board
had approved.
Kelly Clark, a lawyer who represents
Oregon Outreach, said the board had
approved the charter, while board
Canada hopes with the oversight
panel that money w on’t again be an
issue that comes between the district
and McCoy.
C itin g financial in stab ility and
q uestioning the m anagem ent at
Oregon Outreach, the district last year
term inated a contract with McCoy to
e d u c a te som e o f the d is tric t’s
dropouts.
That left several district students,
who refused to enroll elsewhere, in
limbo at McCoy.
The alternative school continued to
e d u c a te them u sin g m oney
contributed by private donors, but
McCoy officials publicly worried they
could not keep the school going
without a steady source o f cash.
Following Monday’s meeting, board
members and Canada disagreed.
Marc Abrams, who was re-elected
board vice chairman at the meeting,
said there is no charter school until a
contract has been approved.
Board member Sue Hagmeier, who
heads the district committee charged
with reviewing charter applications,
agreed with Abrams: “The charter is
the contract. You don’t have a school
until you have a contract.”
But Clark saw it the other way.
“Absolutely they approved a charter
school, as far as w e’re concerned,”
he said. “Our position is there has
been a meeting o f the minds.”
Added Kremer: “They just approved
by statute a charter application. If
that’s not approval, I don’t know
what is.”
