Punishing Defense Could Have Ducks Smelling Roses
O regon’s w in over A rizona on
Saturday m ade the Ducks the only
unbeaten team in the P a c -10 and put
them in position to reach their first
Rose Bowl since 1995.
Three teams have one loss in con
ference play: Arizona, W ashington
and O regon State. The D ucks have
already beaten the first two, m eaning
the trip to Pasadena could hinge on
the outcom e o f the Civil W ar on Nov.

The O regon defense w as handed

W ith hit after punishing hit, the
Ducks guarded that slim advantage
— right dow n to the last desperate

Jenkins from stealing the victory in
the final seconds Saturday night,
holding on to w in 14-10.
’’Fourteen points was w hat w e put
on the board, and 14 points was w hat
we had to defend,” said defensive
end Jason N ikolao, who had one o f
O regon’s eight sacks on Jenkins.
The D ucks (5-1, 4-0), who won
their 19th straight at A utzen Stadium,
got all the offense they needed in the
first half, when Joey Harrington threw
touchdown passes o f2 5 and 20 yards
Maurice Morris
to M arshaun Tucker.

” 1 thought today was our best day

Dunleavy said. “ I haven ’t been crazy
about our exhibition season so far.”

D unleavy said. “ It h asn ’t been as

’’I’ve been riding them hard about

Sabonis w atched most o f practice
but did not play, spending the last

istration m ight reconsider som e o f
those designations. G ore addressed
a series o f environm ental issues that
are important to many people living in
the Pacific N orthw est: the protection
o f old-grow th forests, w hether to al
low roads to be built in w ilderness
areas, and how to save salm on.
“ I f you w ant a president w ho will
protect old-grow th forests, then 1 ask
for your support." G ore said “ I f you
believe as I do that we can block new
roads and tim ber sales in our roadless
forests, so fam ilies can hike and play,
i f you believe as 1 do that we have to
restore the salm on and let science —
not politics — determ ine our course
o f action then I ask for your support,”
he said.
A m ong those m aking introduc
tory rem arks before G o re’s speech
was Gov. John K itzhaber, an ardent
outdoorsm an and environm entalist.
K itzhaber used the occasion to blast
Bush for “circum venting” environ
m ental laws as T exas governor and to
praise G ore for being “a friend o f
O reg o n’s environm ent.”
The environm ent was on the mind
o f many people, m ost o f whom were
young, at the rally. They included
Don St. Clair, 40, a m em ber o f the
group G reens F or Gore.
