Streaks. Some good. Some bad.Some about to be extended. Some about to

end.That’s what is at stake this Saturday when

Washington plays its 2002 home opener againstSan Jose State.

Washington has not won a football gamesince November 17 when the Huskies defeatedWashington State 26-14 in the Apple Cupmatchup in Husky Stadium. That’s right. TheHuskies (0-1) enter today’s game with San JoseState (1-0) looking to end a three-game losingstreak, and at the same time, build on a homewin streak that is reaching record proportions.

Last year the Huskies ended the season withlosses to Miami (65-7) and Texas (47-43) inthe Holiday Bowl and then fell to Michigan (31-29) in last weekend’s season opener. The lasttime the Huskies lost three in a row came at thestart of head coach Rick Neuheisel’s tenure atWashington in 1999.That season the Huskies opened with a pair oflosses to BYU and Air Force to extend a losingstreak that started the previous year with a lossto Air Force in the Oahu Bowl.

Ironically, it was also during Neuheisel’s firstyear as at Washington that the Huskies startedtheir current home winning streak. The Huskies

defeated Stanford 35-30 on a memorable day that saw quarterbackMarques Tuiasosopo rush for 207 yards and pass for 302 yards. Sincethen, UW has strung together a 14-game win streak at Husky Stadium, thelongest active streak in the Pac-10. Nebraska has the longest currentDivision I streak at 23 games following last Saturday’s victory against TroyState.

Washington’s current record for a home win streak at Husky Stadium is17 games, set between 1991 and 1993. With the next five games all homecontests, Washington has a chance to better that mark before it returns tothe road. The Pac-10 record for home wins was set by California at 26games during the 1919-1923 seasons. Pac-10 football history dates backto the 1916 season.

Washington actually has a much longer home win streak of 44 straightgames from 1908 to 1917, but those contests were played at the oldDenny Field site on campus. That streak was ended by a 0-0 tie withOregon State in 1917, but Washington went on to win six more homegames after that, extending their home unbeaten streak to 51 games.Check the NCAA record books and you will find that UW’s 44-game streakis the sixth longest in college football history.

When it comes to streaks, the Huskies also have one against San JoseState. The Spartans have never defeated the Huskies in their seven previousmeetings dating back to the 1958 season. Today’s game will mark the sixthconsecutive time the Huskies have been ranked in the wire service pollswhen facing San Jose State.

The last three meetings in the series have seen Washington win by atleast two touchdowns, including a 53-10 decision during the 1996 season.

That game was especially memorable for the Husky faithful who braved asteady rainfall to see Cory Dillon etch his name into the NCAA recordbook.

Dillon rushed for 222 yards on 16 carries during the first quarter to seta national collegiate record. Dillon also turned a screen pass into an 83-yard touchdown to finish the first 15 minutes of the game with 305 all-purpose yards, establishing another NCAA single-quarter mark. Dillonnever returned to the field after the first quarter or he could have gone

home with a handful of NCAA standards.The Huskies had a total of three tailbacks eclipse the 100-yard

markagainst the Spartans in 1996. Terry Hollimon carried for 148 yardsand Maurice Shaw finished with an even 100 yards.

One of Neuheisel’s goals for the season is to get the Huskies’ run-ning game back on track. Last year the team managed a meager 2.9yards per carry behind an offensive line that included four newcom-ers. Last week against Michigan the Huskies showed some signs ofimprovement. Junior tailback Rich Alexis gained 98 yards on 28 car-ries against a Wolverine defense that led the NCAA in rushing defensein 2001.

San Jose State was at the other end of the statistical rankings lastyear. The Spartans allowed 204 rushing yards per game and 296.8passing yards per contest to rank last in the national standings.

In their season-opening road win against Arkansas State, theSpartans showed new life in their defense. San Jose State managedthree interceptions and two fumble recoveries to help defeatArkansas State 33-14. The defense accounted for two touchdownsand held the Indians to 288 total yards, 212 below the average theyallowed in 2001.

Offensively, the Spartans were hampered by three fumbles and aninterception. Quarterback Scott Rislov, making his first start, com-pleted 17 of 34 attempts for 174 yards. Lamar Ferguson led therushing attack with 12 carries for 65 yards.

The win marked San Jose State’s first season-opening victorysince 1998.

Marquis Cooper came off the bench against Michigan to lead allHuskies with a career-high 11 tackles.

Home OpenersThe Huskies are 81-24-5 in home openers (whether the first game of the

season or not), a percentage of .759. That mark includes a 28-game streak ofhome opener wins that ran from 1908 to 1935. Before falling to Air Force in the1999 home opener, Washington had won 13 straight since falling to OklahomaState on Sept. 7, 1985. Last year, the Huskies opened vs. No. 10 Michigan, beat-ing the Wolverines, 23-18, in a mild upset. Husky coach Rick Neuheisel is 2-1 inseason openers, having lost to Air Force in ‘99 in his home coaching debut. HisHuskies beat Idaho in the 2000 opener before last season’s win over Michigan.

Dillon’s Big DayProbably the most memorable moment of the Huskies’ all-

time series vs. San Jose State came on Nov. 16, 1996, whenjunior tailback Corey Dillon ran for 222 yards in the first quar-ter. That day, Dillon set new NCAA records for rushing yards in aquarter and all-purpose yards (305) in a quarter. Both marksstill stand today. Dillon, who took himself out of the game afterthe opening period, also broke UW single-season records forrushing yards, all-purpose yards, rushing TDs and total TDs thatday. In the first quarter, he rushed for touchdowns of four, 48 and78 yards before catching a screen pass from Brock Huard and runningit in from 83 yards out. That day, the Huskies broke school records for totaloffense (734 yards), rushing yards (559), most rushing yards per attempt(9.0) and had three 100-yard rushers for the only time in school history.Dillon, who begins his sixth year with the Cincinnati Bengals this fall, alsoholds the NFL single-game rushing record (278 yards) as well as the NFL rook-ie single-game rushing mark (246).

To Be ContinuedWashington’s 2002 two-deep is both young and experi-

enced, which bodes well not just for 2002, but for 2003 aswell. Just nine of the 46 players on Washington’s offensive anddefensive depth charts (including co-No. 2s) are seniors,

meaning that bar-ring unexpectedattrition, 37 ofWashington’s top46 offensive anddefensive players

will return for the2003 season,

including 20 of 25listed starters

(includes co-starters). The list

includes nine of 10offensive linemen (with

guard Elliott Zajac thelone senior), all six

defensive linemen, and alleight members of the secondary, not to mention skill-positionstandouts Cody Pickett, Reggie Williams and Rich Alexis. Youth,however, does not necessarily equal inexperience. Of those 37underclassmen, 27 already boast at least one letter, and 17have started at least one game at Washington.

HUSKY PROFILE / ANTHONY KELLEY

by Noah Cohan

ook up Anthony Kelley’s name in a dictionaryand you might find this:

Kelley, Anthony (KELL-ee, AN-thuh-NEE), n.1. See Student-Athlete.

Even if you don’t find the Husky linebacker inthe pages of your Merriam-Webster, you shouldn’thesitate to think of Kelley as the ultimate synthesisof academics and athletics.

On the field, Kelley has been an important play-er in the Dawgs’ vaunted linebacking corps, start-ing 36 games in three seasons while racking up 71tackles — including 14 for a loss — and sixsacks. The Altadena, Calif., native’s knack for mak-ing the big play earned him two single-game defen-sive MVP awards in 2000, when Washington went11-1 and defeated Purdue in the 2001 Rose Bowl.

As formidable as he may seem on the field,Kelley is a gargantuan force off of it.

For the past two winters, the linebacker hastraveled to South Africa,studying and working withthe people of the impover-ished township of Guguletu.Kelley’s work with a chil-dren’s dance troupe, theIpintombi Dancers, has evencaught the attention ofBishop Desmond Tutu, whohas helped Kelley share hisexperiences with the greater

international community.To understand how far Kelley has come, howev-

er, it is important not to focus on where he isgoing, but on where he began.

At Altadena’s Muir High School, Kelley wasnever known for his academic prowess. The son ofthe former Dallas Cowboy who shares his namehad his sights set on a career in professional foot-ball from an early age. What took place betweenthe sidelines was what mattered, not what hap-

pened in the classroom. While earning all-leagueand all-conference accolades for his excellence asa tight end and linebacker, Kelley’s grades suffered.Unable to meet the NCAA’s academic standards,Kelley was admitted to UW as a partial qualifier,meaning he would have to sit out his first year, butcould earn that year back if he completed hisdegree in four years. Even Kelley admits that thelikelihood of that scenario was remote.

“My whole main focus (when arriving at UW)

“Ty Eriks has been an extremely hard worker

from the first day he arrived on campus, and

that certainly shows in the classroom. He

provides an outstanding example of what

you can accomplish with hard work.Ty is the

full-meal deal as a student-athlete.”

— Head coach Rick Neuheisel

was to play three years and leave forthe NFL,” he says. “I wasn’t interestedin a degree, I just wanted to be finan-cially stable — just living lavish andwhat not.”

Three years into his three-yearplan, Kelley was in the midst of aRose Bowl campaign at Washingtonand envisioning a successful NFLfuture when something happened thatwould change the course of his life.In the fall of 2000, Kelley applied forand received the Mary GatesScholarship, a prestigious endow-ment reserved for only the brightestand most creative students. Unsurewhat to do with the funds, Kelleydecided to pursue his study of thecomparative history of ideas inCapetown, South Africa.

Just days after the Huskies wonthe Rose Bowl in January of 2001 —spurred in part by Kelley’s five tack-les, two tackles for loss and one sack— the 21-year-old boarded a planefor Capetown. Kelley left Seattle as atalented young linebacker. He wouldreturn a determined, focused young man, hisexperiences abroad having turned his entire lifenot upside-down, but right-side-up.

“The trip changed my life,” Kelley says.Immediately upon arriving in Guguletu to

work with the dancers, Kelley was taken abackby the miserable conditions in which they livedand worked.

“It was horrendous,” he says. “The kidsoften don’t eat every day, and the only schoolsare private, so they have to pay for their educa-tion and uniforms. The apartheid legacy is alsostill carried out there.”

Despite the difficult conditions — or per-haps because of them — the schoolgirls of thetown had organized their own dance troupe,eager to create beauty out of despair. Kelleyfound himself transformed.

“To see these kids go on their own and cre-ate something to keep themselves off the streets,away from gangs and the hardships of theirtownship, was quite amazing,” Kelley says. “Itmade me reflect on myself and what I was ableto have, such as a free education and clothes. Ithelped me gain a better appreciation of what Icame from. What they’re going through is defi-nitely worse than my situation (growing up).”

The longer Kelley stayed in Guguletu, themore he came to realize the opportunities inSeattle that he was taking for granted. Kelleymade a decision to rededicate his life to makingthe most of his chances, and to use the benefitsthose opportunities afforded him to better thelives of those who had so affected his own.

“The only way I knew of to be able to createopportunities for these kids was if I had my

own life together, and my own priorities straight— particularly my chance at an education,” hesays. “I realized that without my own education,there would be little I would be able to do tohelp them with theirs. It made me kick myselfinto high gear.”

Kelley returned to Seattle a different man.During the fall of 2001, he spent more andmore time in the classroom and in study halls,attempting to make up for the years he hadwasted. His study was so fervent, in fact, that hebegan to lose focus on football, slipping to sec-ond-string on the depth chart behind transferKai Ellis and senior Sam Blanche. Just a yearbefore, Kelley would have been devastated.Instead, he dug deeper into his studies, motivat-ed no longer by personal riches, but by person-al enrichment.

“I came to the realization that football is justa game,” he says. “There’s more to life thanmaking a touchdown or 15 tackles in a game.The trip kind of made football more of anaspect in my life, instead of my whole life.

“There are so many NFL players out therewith millions of dollars that say they don’t knowwhat to do with their money,” Kelley continues.“There’s so much we can do with our money.The South Africa experience made me gain abetter outlook on life, as far as what is a priori-ty and what is needed in this world. We have alot of great football players, but we don’t have alot of Desmond Tutus, Nelson Mandelas, MartinLuther Kings or Malcolm Xs. I’m trying to be abetter leader in life, not just in football.”

Determined to give as much back to thedancers as Kelley felt they had given to him, the

linebacker this spring raised $25,000 to bringthe 13 girls, as well as two instructors, to theUnited States, arranging for their food, lodging,and performance space.

During their six weeks in Seattle, thedancers took their expressive performances tolocal schools, theaters and community centers,communicating their stories of an often difficultlife in South Africa through the undulatingchants and rhythmic clapping and stomping thatcomprises their routine.

Perhaps more moving, however, was anevent the girls witnessed during their first weekin Seattle, an event that just three years priorseemed unthinkable, but for which they them-selves were largely responsible — on June 15,2002, Anthony Kelley walked onto a podium inHusky Stadium and received his diploma.

Look at where Kelley has come from, andwhere he has been, and you understand howfar he has come. Even the President of theUniversity of Washington, Dr. RichardMcCormick, is among the many singing hispraises.

“We’re very proud of Anthony and the suc-cess he’s found both on and off the field,”McCormick says. “Anthony has developed into astudent-athlete of the highest order.”

Really, he is that and so much more. Out ofhis roots as a single-minded jock, Kelley hasbecome not only an ideal student-athlete, but arole model in his own right.

Perhaps those trying to define Kelley are, likeKelley was himself, just looking at things thewrong way. Perhaps instead, it is Kelley who is thedefinition — the definition of true success.

When Rick Neuheisel attended the 1998 Rose Bowl, to beinducted into its Hall of Fame, he took the time to enjoy themoment and bask in the gala and pageantry of the college

football game known simply as “The Granddaddy of Them All.” As he watched the shadows creep over the Arroyo Seco, and the

sun disappear into the western horizon, he turned to his wife, Susan,and said, “We’ve got to get back here someday.”

It happened sooner than he expected.Three years later Neuheisel was back in the Rose Bowl, hoisting

the championship trophy above his head to the delight of 40,000Husky fans after Washington had dispatched Purdue’s Boilermakers34-24.

After quarterbacking UCLA to a 45-9 victory against Illinois in the1984 Rose Bowl, being inducted into the Hall of Fame, and coachingthe Huskies to their seventh Rose Bowl championship, Neuheisel willlong be considered one of the Rose Bowl’s favorite sons.

Neuheisel prefers to deflect the attention for Washington’s ascen-sion back to the top of the college football ranks over the past threeseasons. He will be the first one to credit his players and coachingstaff for making the commitment to return the Huskies to dominance.

When he first arrived in Seattle in January of 1999, Neuheiselchallenged the Huskies to forego any feeling-out process with a newstaff and simply make a commitment to winning.

The results speak for themselves. During his first three years as aHusky, Neuheisel’s teams have placed second, first and second in thePac-10 race. Washington has been ranked in the Associated Presspoll for every game during the past two seasons. The Huskies havemade two trips to the Holiday Bowl and one showing in the RoseBowl under Neuheisel.

Last year’s team posted a 8-4 record that included six wins atHusky Stadium to extend the Huskies’ current home winning streakto 14 games. A young Husky squad faced five teams that were rankedin the final Associated Press Poll and picked up wins against three ofthose opponents.

Neuheisel’s second Husky squad, the 2000 team, posted the first10-win season since the 1991 Huskies went 12-0 en route to thenational championship. It was Washington’s first Rose Bowl title in 10years and its first Rose Bowl appearance since 1992.

The 2000 Huskies were a remarkable team. Washington trailed ineight of its 11 wins, showing incredible resilience and heart, not tomention strategy, in pulling off five consecutive fourth-quarter come-backs.

For his efforts, Neuheisel was listed as a finalist for coach of theyear by several different media outlets.

In 1999, his first season as the head football coach at Washington,Neuheisel accomplished something that none of his predecessorsachieved. He guided the Huskies to a 7-5 record, including an invita-tion to the 1999 Culligan Holiday Bowl, becoming the first UW coachto take the team to a bowl game during his inaugural season.

Husky football fans and casual sports followers alike have quicklyembraced Neuheisel for the spark he has added to Washington’s sto-ried football tradition. As a public speaker, he is in high demand.Neuheisel has spoken at numerous fundraising events and generatedlofty contributions with his charismatic speeches and penchant forinnovative fundraising ideas.

Neuheisel took over the Washington program in January of 1999after serving as the head football coach at Colorado from 1995 to1998. His seven-year coaching record now stands at 59-24 (.711).

Washington is the second head coaching position for the 41-yearold Neuheisel, who spent seven seasons as an assistant coach prior tosecuring the Colorado job. He worked six years at his alma mater,UCLA, under his college coach Terry Donahue, and was an assistantcoach for one season on Bill McCartney’s staff in Boulder. He wasnamed the head coach at Colorado on Nov. 29, 1994.

At Colorado, Neuheisel compiled a 33-14 (.702) record and was3-0 in postseason bowl games. All three of his bowl games wereagainst Pac-10 Conference opponents. He had 20 wins in his first twoseasons as a college coach, which tied for the fourth-most by a first-time college coach in the Division I-A modern era. Both of thoseColorado teams finished in the top-10 of the national polls.

Neuheisel had a number of “firsts”while coaching the Buffaloes:• He became the first first-year Colorado coach to take a team to

a bowl game.• The team’s 10 wins in 1995 were the most ever by a first-year CU

coach.• The Buffaloes’ No. 4 ranking in the USA Today standings and No. 5

ranking in the final Associated Press poll were the eighth-highest rankings ever for a first-year coach.

• Neuheisel’s 10 wins his first year tied for the fifth-most by a rookie.• The 1996 Colorado team set a school record by winning 10

consecutive road games.

Head coach Rick Neuheisel signals in a play during the the 2001 season.

• The 1997 Buffalo team produced three All-Americans, including Butkus Award winner Matt Russell.

• He is only the fourth coach to guide his first two teams to a pair of 10-win seasons.

The road that led Neuheisel into coachingwas an interesting, if not a unique one. Afterfinishing his college career with a spectacularperformance in the 1984 Rose Bowl in whichhe was named the game’s Most Valuable Player,he graduated from UCLA in May, 1984, with abachelor’s degree in political science.Neuheisel had a solid 3.4 grade point average,the highest of all graduating football seniors,and was named Academic All-Pac 10. He wonthe Jack R. Robinson and Paul I. Wellmanawards from the school to honor his academicexcellence, and also earned an NCAA postgrad-uate scholarship as he aspired to attend lawschool. Neuheisel was inducted into the RoseBowl’s Hall of Fame in 1998.

He played two seasons (1984,1985), withthe San Antonio Gunslingers of the UnitedStates Football League. Following the 1985USFL season (which was over by the end ofsummer), he decided to use his NCAA scholar-ship award and enrolled in law school atSouthern California. The following summer, hejoined the UCLA staff as a volunteer coach,specifically to tutor Troy Aikman on the UCLAoffense. Aikman matured under Neuheisel’stutelage, and the two remain close friends tothis day.

In 1987, Neuheisel played in the NationalFootball League. He suited up for three gamesfor the San Diego Chargers (starting two), andstill holds a team record for completion per-centage in a game (81.8, going 18-of-22 for217 yards and a touchdown at Tampa Bay). Hecompleted 40-of-59 passes in those threegames for 367 yards and one touchdown, andadded another touchdown rushing. Another claim to his short-lived NFL fameis that he is the last player to rush for a one-point conversion, running in amuffed PAT attempt at Cincinnati. This is forever a trivia answer, with the NFLnow sporting the two-point conversion.

He closed out the season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, dressing fortwo games, but never getting the chance to play. He wore the same number atTampa Bay (No. 7) that he wore for San Diego.

Neuheisel would again return to his alma mater, but this time in thecapacity of a full-time assistant coach in charge of the quarterbacks, which hewould coach for the next two seasons before switching to receivers coach in1990.

While an assistant at UCLA, Neuheisel continued his studies in his pursuitof a law degree. He graduated from the University of Southern CaliforniaSchool of Law in 1990 with his juris doctor degree. He would be sworn intothe Arizona State Bar Association in May of 1991, and the Washington, D.C.,Bar in March, 1993.

Neuheisel began his collegiate playing career as a walkon at UCLA, hold-ing for kicker John Lee, and eventually battled Steve Bono for the startingquarterback job by his senior year. He secured the starting job four gamesinto the regular season and quarterbacked the Bruins to the Pac-10 champi-onship in 1983, earning honorable mention All-Pac 10 honors in theprocess. He was named the Most Valuable Player in the 1984 Rose Bowlwhen UCLA beat Illinois, 45-9. In that game, Neuheisel completed 22-of-31passes for 298 yards and four TDs, including a pair to Karl Dorrell, who later

became Washington’s offensive coordinator. Neuheisel completed 198 of 290 passes for 2,480 yards and 15 touch-

downs in his UCLA career, which at the time placed him sixth on the Bruins’all-time passing yards list. He still holds school records in completion per-centage for both a single season (69.3 as a senior) and career (68.3).Another school record he still holds, completion percentage in a single game,set an NCAA record at the time; Neuheisel completed 25 of 27 passes (includ-ing 18 straight at one point) for 287 yards against Washington in 1983, aremarkable 92.6 percent.

He graduated from McClintock High School in Tempe, Ariz., in 1979, andwas the school’s most outstanding athlete his senior year as he lettered infootball (quarterback), basketball (guard) and baseball (shortstop, outfield,pitcher). He is a member of McClintock’s Hall of Fame.

Richard Gerald Neuheisel, Jr., was born on Feb. 7, 1961, in Madison,Wis., where he made his debut as a head coach when CU beat Wisconsin 43-7. He is married to the former Susan Wilkinson, and they have three chil-dren, Jerry (10), Jack (8) and Joe (5).

Neuheisel’s father, Dick, was one of the original Tempe Diablos, a groupwhich helped found the Fiesta Bowl, and is a former president of Sister CitiesInternational, a worldwide goodwill organization. The son of Dick and Jane,Rick has three sisters, Nancy, Katie and Deborah. From his home on LakeWashington, he occasionally drives his boat to work. He has been a semi-reg-ular participant on the Celebrity Golf Association Tour. In 1999, a monthbefore the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach, he shot a 74 on the course.

When it comes to recognition, Washington athleticdirector Barbara Hedges would prefer that thespotlight fall on Husky student-athletes. Still, it is

hard not to acknowledge her accomplishments.Hedges has built the Husky athletic program into one

of the most successful in the nation in a variety of ways.During the past decade, Washington’s athletic teams haveenjoyed unprecedented success. The Husky program isalso recognized as a leader in gender equity, communityservice and outreach programs and Student-AthleteSupport Services.

Most recently, Hedges has focused on improvingWashington’s athletic facilities by more than $100 mil-lion.

Her hard work has not gone unnoticed by her peers.In 1999-2000 Hedges was named the NACDA/ContinentalAirlines Athletic Director of the Year for the NCAADivision I West Region. She was presented the HondaAward of Merit and the Seattle/King County Sports andEvents Council named her their MVP of the Year awardwinner.

There is a chalkboard in Hedges’ office filled withinspirational messages, quotations and philosophies pro-vided by her staff and visitors. One of her passages reads,“Hope is not a strategy.” It is very appropriate. The suc-cesses for Washington’s athletic programs duringHedges’ tenure that have earned her so many acknowl-edgements have been forged in hard work, planning anda commitment to excellence, not just wishful thinking.

The past few years are dramatic proof that Hedges’approach to building Washington’s overall athletic pro-gram into one of the best in the country have been suc-cessful. Many of those successes have not been mea-sured in wins and losses.

Washington is currently in the second phase of itshighly-successful “Campaign for the Student-Athlete” thathas helped to generate several major capital improve-ments on the Montlake Campus. In November of 2000the newly renovated Bank of America Arena at HecEdmundson Pavilion opened to rave reviews. The facilityalso provides the Husky volleyball and women’s gymnas-tics teams one of the best collegiate venues on the West

Coast. The Arena’s expanded lockerrooms, trainingroom, equipment room and new breakout meetingrooms benefit the entire athletic department.

The Arena is also home to numerous communityevents including high school championship tournamentsand graduation ceremonies.

The project also provided a home for the new $1million Husky Hall of Fame that opened in the fall of2002. For the first time ever, Husky fans and campus vis-itors have the opportunity to reliveWashington’s rich athletic tradition with anexhibit room dedicated to documentingover 100 years of achievements. The Hallof Fame spans the entire length of the westend of Bank of America Arena.

During September of 2001 Washingtonopened the $29 million Dempsey Indoormulti-purpose practice facility. With over100,000 square feet of competition space,Washington’s student-athletes have thenation’s finest multi-purpose practice set-ting for year-round training purposes.

In 2000, Hedges’ relationship with the NFL’s SeattleSeahawks resulted in a $1 million gift towards the instal-lation of a FieldTurf playing surface in Husky Stadium.Washington became just the second major college foot-ball program in the nation to play on the surface that haswon rave reviews from players on both the collegiate andprofessional levels.

In 2001 Washington added a new FieldTurf practicefield on the east end of Husky Stadium.

Still to come are stadium projects for the new soccerand baseball fields and a renovation of the ConibearShellhouse.

It seems like Hedges’ workload is never ending, butthat is a reflection of her commitment to making theWashington program one of the best in the nation. Theresults have been proven on the field of competition.

In just her first year on the job, in 1991, the Huskyfootball team posted a perfect 12-0 season by defeatingMichigan in the Rose Bowl and winning the nationalchampionship.

Over the past six years the Husky women’s crewteam has won at least one NCAA event title and capturedback-to-back team titles in 1997 and 1998, and again in2001. During the past decade the Husky softball teamhas proven to be the single-best athletic team in a townthat features professional teams in baseball, football,men’s basketball and women’s basketball, reaching theCollege World Series five of the last eight years.

In 2000-01, five Husky squads — men’s andwomen’s soccer, football, women’s basketballand women’s crew — won Pac-10Conference titles, and nine of the 23 Huskyteams earned final rankings in the top-15nationally in their respective sports.

Under Hedges’ direction the Husky golf,baseball and tennis programs have emergedon the national scene. Men’s soccer, women’srowing and softball have all been ranked No.1 in the nation during the past few years.

Hedges’ efforts in gender equity havemade Washington one of the national leaders

in providing equal opportunities for both male andfemale student-athletes. In December of 1997, TheChronicle of Higher Education cited Washington as “theonly Division I-A institution with an undergraduateenrollment that was at least 50 percent female to haveachieved substantial proportionality in both scholarshipsand participation.”

More important than just championships, underHedges’ guidance Washington has become one of thenational leaders in participation for student-athletes andcompliance. Last season over 650 student-athletes com-peted for Husky teams — the most in the Pac-10.

Hedges received her bachelor’s degree in physicaleducation from Arizona State University in 1963 whereshe was honored as the University’s outstanding physicaleducation major while also being named to Who’s Whoin American Colleges and Universities. She received hermaster’s from the University of Arizona in 1971.

Hedges was born August 23, 1937, in Glendale,Arizona. She and her husband, John, have two grownchildren, Mark and Gregg.

HUSKY PROFILE / AARON HEINZEN

by Lisa Krikava

lthough seniorHusky defenderAaron Heinzenmay not be theflashiest player, heis a key compo-

nent to the success of the2002 Washington men’ssoccer team. Heinzen entershis final college season as areturning starter who is wellknown for his dedication,outstanding work ethic andpositive attitude.

The respect Heinzenreceives from his teammatesand coaches became evidentwith his selection as co-cap-tain, along with sophomoreC.J. Klaas, for the Huskies inthe upcoming 2002 season.As team captain, Heinzen isexcited at the opportunity tohelp guide Washingtontowards victory with hisleadership and experience,qualities honed in three sea-sons playing for a Huskyteam that is a consistentforce in NCAA soccer.

“It’s a nice honor to becaptain of the team,”Heinzen says. “I think it willbe fun. I have the experi-ence and have been aroundlong enough to tell myteammates how it’s going tobe and what to expect —what to do with the team, school and everythingelse. It’s something I can handle and I am reallylooking forward to it.”

To further hone his playing and leadershipabilities, Heinzen spent part of his summer inColorado, training with the Boulder Rapids ofthe PDL Summer League, a development squadaffiliated with Major League Soccer’s ColoradoRapids.

The 2002 season will put those skills to thetest, as Washington has set its sights on winningits first NCAA championship. The 2001 season,when the 10th-ranked Huskies fell to chief rivalPortland, 1-0, in the second round of the NCAA

College Cup, marked Washington’s seventh-con-secutive visit to the postseason — and seventh-consecutive season without advancing past thesecond round.

The experience from his junior season hasgiven Heinzen a new perspective on his team’sability to make a run deep into the NCAA tour-nament.

“We can definitely [win] if we come togeth-er as a team,” he says. “Our main goal is thatwe take it one game at a time, especially whenwe get into the playoffs. Once we get there, itwill be important to treat each game like a stepon a ladder.”

Many of the players taking those steps will

be doing so in the Husky purplefor the first time. The 2002 teamincludes 12 freshmen or transfers,with first- or second-year playerscomprising 60 percent of the ros-ter. As a captain, Heinzen will becounted on to unify a young team.He is confident the Huskies willmeld together, however, as theplayers all share the same goal ofworking hard and winning.

“A disadvantage for us is thatwe are young and inexperienced;therefore, so many things will benew for a lot of the guys,” he says.“We’ll be ready, though. It will beup to the older guys, like myself, tohelp [the new players] out,” hesays.

The youthful enthusiasm andenergy of new players will be a keyfactor to the Huskies’ success in2002, but Heinzen emphasizes thatit needs to be combined with aneffort from the veterans to step upand be leaders. Heinzen has greatexpectations for what his returning,experienced teammates can bringto the team and is predicting a fewof his teammates could be a sur-prise this year.

“Danny Waltman, who could beour starting keeper, has a lot of tal-ent,” he says. “Joe Birklid, asophomore defender, was a forcelast year. He was a surprise guywho came out of nowhere andplayed really well. Seth Marsh, amidfielder who was kind of off-

and-on last year, had some really nice plays. IfSeth plays with confidence and gives a full-outeffort then he could be a real weapon.”

Heinzen is also taking time to focus on hisown skills and what he can bring to the 2002squad. While noting his personal mission of try-ing to score a goal this season, Heinzen takeshis captaincy seriously, and is committed todeveloping the Huskies’ young squad intonational contenders come playoff time.

“We’ve got good experience mixed in withthe young guys and there’s a lot of young guyswho are pretty hungry to prove themselves andshow how well they can perform,” he says.“That will be a big advantage for us.”

30 HUSKIES Gameday

As one of two team captains in 2002, Heinzen will be counted on tokeep the young Huskies poised for a deep run in the postseason.

Located in the heart of the Silicon Valley, this university has aidedthe development of the computer industry and the resulting technolog-ical advances in our nation by providing the largest source of engi-neering, science and business graduates to SIlicon Valley companies.

Graduating about 6,000 students annually, San Jose State Universityalso provides the professional infrastructure for the region - fromteachers to social workers to artists to law enforcement officers tonurses. The terms, “leaders and professionals,” describe not just thetypes of graduates who their degrees at San Jose State, but also theroles they assume in their communities and in their fields of endeavor.

San Jose State University’s place in history is well-established.Founded in 1857, it was the first public institution of higher educationon the West Coast. From its humble beginnings as a normal school totrain teachers for the developing frontier, it has matured into a mas-ter’s university offering 191 bachelor’s and master’s degrees.

The university’s 27,000 students study in eight fully accredited col-leges: Applied Sciences and the Arts, Business, Education, Engineering,Humanities and the Arts, Science, Social Sciences and Social Work.One strength of the academic program is the broad general educationcurriculum that brings common elements — critical thinking, writingand communication skills, and cultural pluralism — to diverse stud-ies. Academic strength also is seen in the university’s nationally-recog-nized programs. Examples include the School of Music, the School ofArt and Design, the School of Journalism and Mass Communications,the School of Nursing and the School of Library and InformationScience.

In each discipline, quality teaching remains a priority. Tenured fac-ulty teach introductory as well as advanced courses with an emphasison small classes. Learning facilities include computer-equipped class-rooms, the Western world’s only undergraduate nuclear science facili-ty and North America’s largest Beethoven Center. Focusing on appliedresearch , faculty receive a growing number of contracts and grants each

year. From Moss Landing Marine Research Laboratory to the NASA AmesResearch Center, faculty are exploring everything from the depths of the

ocean to the surface of Mars.San Jose State University also finds strength in its diver-

sity. For many first-generation students, it is a gateway toeconomic independence and social mobility. It is also anincubator of cultural and intellectual development and anopportunity for lifelong learning. Students range in agefrom first-time freshmen to college transfers to profes-sionals seeking addition education.

HUSKY PROFILE / OWEN BIDDLE

by Mason Kelley

s the lights go down on another October evening inArizona, and the desert sun slinks behind theSuperstition Mountains, the lights go up in Sun DevilStadium, where a fierce battle rages between hostArizona State and the visiting Washington Huskies.

Out of the deepening dusk swoops Husky safetyOwen Biddle, drilling ASU’s Mike Williams behind the

line of scrimmage for a loss of two yards. Later, it’sBiddle again, this time stopping talented tailback DelvonFlowers in his tracks at the line of scrimmage, a scene re-enacted throughout the Huskies’ 33-31 win.

In fact, Biddle would finish the contest with a team-lead-ing 11 tackles — including one for a loss — to earn agolden helmet as Defensive Player of Game.

“Coach [Tim] Hundley, the defensive coordinator, justkept calling all the right plays,” Biddle says, “and I just hap-pened to be in all the right places.”

The honor of being named player of the game was spe-cial for the third-year safety.

“I consider it my biggest achievement on the field,” saysBiddle, who at 5-foot-10 and 190 pounds gives up inches toopposing receivers, and pounds to opposing running backs.“I used to look at the people that got Player of the Gameand I think, ‘wow, these guys are awesome.’ Then I onlystarted four games last year and won it once.”

Biddle’s ascension to Player of the Game status is evenmore impressive considering that just two seasons ago theBellevue, Wash., native was a little-known walk-on, forcedto put in the same hours of practice, workout and playbookstudy as scholarship athletes, but without the benefits ofacademic counseling, daily meals, and paid-for housingafforded those receiving financial assistance.

After redshirting the 1999 season, Biddle saw his firstplaying time in the Huskies’ season-opening win over Idahoin 2000, making one tackle. The young, undersized safety,so often overlooked, proved to have a nose for the ball,however, impressing the coaches with his dogged and fear-less pursuit of larger and more highly-touted opponents.

“You have to not care whom you have to hit and just getthe job done,” he says. “That is the mentality that I amknown for around the coaches. As a walk-on, you’re notgiven anything, you have to earn respect on the field. I gotthe coaches’ attention by showing them that mentality.”

40 HUSKIES Gameday

Once a walkon, Biddle impressed the coaches with his tenacity and nose forthe ball, and earned a scholarship prior to the 2001 season.

AA

Continued on page 42

By the time Washington took the field for its2001 Rose Bowl matchup against Purdue,Biddle was in the starting lineup. The followingAugust, he was awarded a scholarship.

“That was huge for me,” he says of the 2001Rose Bowl. “Every time I see someone I haven’tseen in awhile they always say, ‘Wow, you got tostart in the Rose Bowl.’ Receiving the scholar-ship, though, is the biggest achievement of mylife right now. If I hadn’t earned the scholarshipI wouldn’t have any money, and probablywouldn’t be able to go to school.”

Biddle has been playing football his wholelife. He laid his first hit just across the 520floating bridge, playing Pop Warner football inBellevue, and then went on to play runningback and defensive back for Bellevue HighSchool. After switching positions three times,Biddle found success at the safety position, andwas an Associated Press all-state selection in1998. Despite his success, Division-I recruiterswere not banging down Biddle’s door.

“I wasn’t recruited much,” he says. “I tooka trip up to Western Washington and theyoffered me a partial scholarship. That was theonly trip I made. It didn’t matter, though,because I always wanted to come to UW andwalk on.”

His family has left behind a long legacy atWashington, so joining the Huskies was a natur-al choice for Biddle. While not related to for-

mer halfback Brooks Biddle, he is related toformer cornerback Greg Brooks, who playedfive years for coach Don James in the mid-sev-enties, and helped Washington defeat Michiganin the 1978 Rose Bowl. Brooks (an uncle) aswell as Biddle’s mother, grandmother and twosisters all attended Washington as well, and hisfather, a teacher, earned his graduate certificateon the UW campus.

While Husky football was certainly in thefamily genes, none of Biddle’s family everpushed him into playing the sport.

“My uncle, like other people in my family,let me do what I wanted to as a kid,” Biddlesays. “They got me into sports, but I’ve justalways liked to play football. I remember thefirst year I played football, I wore my uncle’snumber, 43. It just so happens I am number 43as a Husky.”

Husky fans don’t need to be told what num-ber Biddle wears, as they have become used tohim flying around the field on defense and spe-cial teams. Now that Biddle has become ascholarship athlete and a frequent contributorfor the Husky defense he has set his sights onbecoming a full-time starter in 2002. A semi-regular starter in 2001, Biddle made four startsduring the season, but was limited to just ninegames as the result of a shoulder injury.

“I’m starting to realize that I get hurt a lot,”he says. “In high school I got hurt once, andafter that I always assumed I was a tough guyand I would never get hurt, but here I have

been hurt lots of times.”The dislocated shoulder that Biddle suffered

against Oregon State last season took sixmonths to rehabilitate, and that kept the junior-to-be from participating in spring practice. Notplaying has moved Biddle farther down thedepth chart than he would like, but rather thanbe discouraged, he relishes the chance to be apart of a winning team.

“This has been a winning program,” Biddlesays. “It is a great football school and to beconsidered a University of Washington footballplayer, even if you don’t play, is a big deal forme.”

Biddle will have a lot to prove in 2002, buthas been in this position before and knowswhat it will take to get back onto the field. Hisbrief taste of life as a starting safety for theHuskies is all of the motivation Biddle needs.

“Starting is what drives me,” he says. I setthat goal last year, but injuries kept me fromdoing that. I couldn’t play this spring, so I willbe a little lower on the depth chart than I havebeen in the past. I’m determined to move up,though.

“When I first came to UW, I did not expectto be where I am right now,” Biddle continues.“My goal was to put in two years, then play spe-cial teams. If that didn’t work out, I just wantedto stick with it, because I never quit anything.”

Biddle won’t quit — on a team, in life, oreven on a tackle.

42 HUSKIES Gameday

Having started at safety in Washington's win over Purdue in the 2001 Rose Bowl, Biddle shares a special bond with his uncle, GregBrooks, a member of the Huskies' 1978 Rose Bowl team.

THE UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON

Founded in 1861, the University of Washington is one of the foremostinstitutions of higher education in the nation, richly combining itsresearch, instructional and public service missions.

Its internationally acclaimed faculty includes five Nobel Laureates andthe winner of the 1990 National Book Award for Fiction. Washington ispart of an elite group of research universities whose contributions toAmerican life are unique because they generate the basic knowledge uponwhich practical innovations are based.

The UW student body on the Seattle campus totals about 37,000, withan undergraduate enrollment of approximately 26,800. The UW also hascampuses in Bothell and Tacoma, designed primarily for upper division(junior and senior) undergraduates and master’s level graduate programs.Total enrollment at these campuses is about 3,600.

For more than 30 years, the university has been among the country’stop five institutions in the dollar value of federal research grants and con-tracts awarded to its faculty. In 2000, the most recent year for which thatdata has been collected, the UW ranked second. Total grant and contractactivity for 2001 exceeded $700 million. More than 80 percent of the uni-versity’s grant and contract funds come from federal agencies. Researchcontributes directly to the educational goals of graduate and professionalstudents, as well as to those of undergraduates.

Instruction and research at Washington are supported by a library sys-tem that is one of the most extensive in the nation, consisting of five majorunits and 18 branches, as well as libraries at UW Tacoma and UW Bothell,together housing more than five million volumes. In addition to offeringinstruction in more than 100 academic disciplines, the university offers aspectrum of continuing education courses that advance technical and pro-fessional skills and provide opportunities for personal growth and enrich-ment.

Washington has 17 major schools and colleges: Architecture and UrbanPlanning, Arts and Sciences, Business Administration, Dentistry, Education,Engineering, Forest Resources, The Graduate School, The InformationSchool, Law, Medicine, Nursing, Ocean and Fishery Sciences, Pharmacy,Public Affairs, Public Health and Community Medicine, and Social Work.

About 90 percent of the University’s undergraduate students are stateresidents, although instructional programs draw students from everyregion of the country and overseas.

Most freshmen entering Washington are in the top third of their high

school graduating classes. In 2001, the average incoming freshman boast-ed a 3.63 high school grade point average and an 1,159 SAT score.

Beyond its academic and service missions, the UW has a strong eco-nomic impact on Washington and the Pacific Northwest.

With about 20,000 employees, Washington is the second-largest employer in King County. Washington operates theUniversity of Washington Medical Center and Harborview MedicalCenter, which annually provide more than 200,000 days ofpatient care and record more than 300,000 visits to their outpa-tient clinics.

Washington also plays a critical role in attracting new busi-ness to the region. It provides these, and established businesses,with a steady stream of well-educated graduates and with highlyskilled faculty members who assist business and industry in avariety of ways.

The University of Washington in Seattle is located on 703acres in the city’s northeast residential area, a beautiful setting onthe shore of Lake Washington and Portage Bay. The majesticCascade Mountains can be seen to the east and the Olympicsloom to the west, while the western view includes downtownSeattle and Lake Union. The combination of this spectacular set-ting with buildings in both neo-Gothic and modern styles gives thecampus a distinctive aura.

There is no provision, as yet, that pre-cludes a coach from swaying a recruitwith a ride on the space shuttle. But give

the suits in Indianapolis time. . . . ConsiderRule 13.4.1(g), which regulates the number ofcolors that are allowed inside the covers of anymedia guide or brochure a school provides to aprospect (one). Or Rule 13.4.1(k), which gov-

erns the number of pocket schedules a schoolmay send to a recruit (likewise, one). . . .There are more than 25 rules that determinewhat a phone call is, who may make andreceive them, and when. . . .

The NCAA says that it outlines all of its ruleswith two ideals in mind: the well-being of thestudent-athlete and competitive balancebetween its member schools. That is smallconsolation to those who must negotiate theregulatory minefield. . . .

There is a dizzying array of rules governingcoach-to-player interaction, [recruiting] con-tact . . . quiet periods . . . letter-of-intent pro-grams and publicity. That’s why coaches, evenafter receiving a recruiting handbook from the

NCAA before everyacademic year,must rely heavily onthe informationavailable throughthe compliance departments at their schools.There, they can get clarifications, questionsanswered and make sure they’re in the clearbefore proceeding . . . .

“You’d be surprised at the questions thatcome up,” said Jane Mullens, Maryland’s assis-tant athletics director for compliance. “. . .Nine out of 10 questions that come up don’t fitin exactly to the manual.”

HUSKIES Gameday 53

by Lisa Krikava

wenty-five years ago, Seattle was treated to the Benjamin andBenjamin show. Husband Tony Benjamin was a running back for theSeattle Seahawks, while wife Krista was herself a competitive volleyballplayer.

Today, the city once again finds itself overflowing in athletic Benjamins.Evan, the only son of Tony and Krista, will compete for playing time at safetyfor the Huskies this fall, while daughter Paige has emerged as a bonafidestar for Washington’s up-and-coming volleyball squad.

“My mom claims that I got all of my volleyball talent from her,” says the5-foot-10 Paige. “Having seen my dad play volleyball, I think that’s probablytrue.”

Not only is Benjamin a natural athlete, but she excels in school as well.An accounting major, Benjamin carries a 3.88 grade point average, and hasbeen named to the Pac-10’s Academic All-Conference and Verizon AcademicAll-District squads for two years running.

It’s one thing to be blessed with good genes; it’s another thing to maxi-mize that talent. In 2001, Benjamin was second on the team in kills, averag-ing 2.90 per game, while hitting at a .290 clip and averaging 0.91 blocks pergame. Then a junior, Benjamin notched career highs with 54 attacks in a

match against Oregon State, and five aces to helpdefeat Purdue. Benjamin’s hitting percentage of .293,second among Husky regulars last season,improved her career mark to .288, third-best all-

time at UW.Benjamin’s personal success in 2001, however,

did not translate directly to wins for the Huskies.Having met their new head coach, Jim McLaughlin, forthe first time just two weeks prior to the season, the

team spent much of the seasonadjusting to McLaughlin’s system.After compiling a 6-2 non-confer-

ence record, the team went 4-14 inthe difficult Pac-10 Conference. Despite the

struggles, however, Benjamin says the teambelieves in McLaughlin and his vision of success for

Husky volleyball.“Jim came in and gave us a totally new offense,” she

says. “Although we played better than we did the sea-son before, we would have played even better if we hadhad a whole year with him first. I don’t feel like welearned Jim’s system until this spring, but I like Jimand I like what he brings to the team. He has reallyworked to add strength to our weakest areas. He’s allabout volleyball. He’s ready for the future.”

“The future” begins this fall, as Washington opensup its 2002 season with nothing to lose. If the team isto be successful, Benjamin will certainly have to play alarge role.

“I want my identity to be as a hitter,” she says. “Iwant other teams to view me as the biggest offensivethreat.”

Benjamin’s success will help the Huskies reach their goals this season.“Our number one goal is to make it to the NCAA tournament,” she says.

“Our offense is fantastic, and our ball handling as a team has reallyimproved too. Our middles are inexperienced, but I think in Jim’s system,there is not quite so much pressure on them as in years past.”

Challenging the Huskies this season is the fact that eight new players willjoin the team this fall, including six freshmen. Benjamin says that buildingteam chemistry will be a primary goal early in the season, but the seniorsees it not as an obstacle, but an incentive to work even harder.

“I really want to help our team reach its full potential,” she says. “Everysingle year since I have been here I haven’t felt like we’ve accomplishedeverything we could do as a team. Some of that has been due to team chem-istry and some has been due to inexperience. I want to put all the excusesbehind us this year and do what we came here to do, which is play volley-ball.”

With McLaughlin’s system firmly under their belt, and an influx of talent-ed young players, the 2002 Huskies have a chance to build upon the founda-tion laid during a difficult season last year.

While much may still be up in the air, one thing is certain — with aBenjamin at the helm, the Huskies have a leader for whom athletic successis more than a matter of genetics.

Salmon shark fins cut the surface of thewater. A spotter in an Alaska Fish andGame plane on an annual survey of seaotters estimates there are hundreds of fins

in the small bay near Port Gravina, PrinceWilliam Sound.

More sharks mass – unseen – below the sur-face. All are likely feasting on a run of salmonreturning to spawn in nearby rivers and creeks.

“That aerial count would be a high numberof sharks in one spot for any place in theworld,” said Vince Gallucci, University ofWashington professor of fisheries and aquaticsciences. Gallucci has studied shark populationdynamics for more than a decade, the last twoyears in Alaska.

In the last two years of work in PrinceWilliam Sound, Gallucci says six salmon sharksan hour could be caught during certain times ofday. And sometimes, lines were in the water lessthan two minutes before a salmon shark bit.

Meanwhile the number of Pacific sleepersharks encountered by halibut fishing vesselshas increased every year since 1997, more thandoubling, according to a database made avail-able to Gallucci by the Pacific HalibutCommission.

All this in a place where fishermen haven’ttalked of sharks in such abundance in the past.

Salmon sharks, six to eight feet long as adultsand related to the great whites; Pacific sleepersharks, which can grow to 24 feet in length; anddogfish are the most plentiful members of theshark family in Alaskan waters.

No one knows how many sharks there arebecause the necessary surveys haven’t beendone, something Gallucci’s group is working on.Still, fieldwork by Gallucci and colleagues, alongwith surveys by others showing declining num-bers of sea lions, seals and other pinnipeds (ani-mals with finned feet), is enough for Gallucci tosay top predators in Alaska’s sub-arctic watershave shifted to a new “steady-state.” Instead ofonly orcas, pinnipeds and a few sharks, the lineup is now orcas, increasing numbers of sharksand declining numbers of pinnipeds.

“Increases in salmon sharks and Pacificsleeper sharks, both sub-arctic northeast Pacificshark species, don’t represent ecological inva-sions and they aren’t range extensions sinceboth sharks are endemic,” he says.

He believes population changes are tied tothe decades-long swings in climate caused by thePacific Decadal Oscillation, but exactly howsharks got such a finhold while pinnipeds strug-gle is not known. It also is probable that globalwarming is a factor, he says, however the PacificDecadal Oscillation is the far more dominant

effect. The Pacific Decadal Oscillation is a regional

climate shift that changes the temperature ofsurface waters in the central and north Pacific. Ittakes 20 to 30 years to shift between cold andwarm phases, and the Pacific DecadalOscillation has been in the latter since 1977.There is some evidence in just the last two yearsthat the regime may be shifting again.

The environmental changes that follow suchshifts, as well as human activities such as fishing,could be reasons Alaskan waters may havebecome more hospitable to sharks, Galluccisaid.

There have been changes in the populationsof fish these animals eat. Climate conditions inrecent decades have favored salmon in Alaskanwaters for a number of years and heavy hatcheryproduction has added millions more fish, to thebenefit of both pinnipeds and sharks. On theother hand, commercial fishing of pollock incompetition with sea lions may have indirectlybenefited sharks, Gallucci says.

“Sharks, being the more efficient eaters, justmay be able to take greater advantage of

changes in the food that’s available,” he says. Then there are other factors such as the

1992 moratorium on drift-net squid fisheriesthat eliminated a source of incidental sharkmortality. And, while there is no direct evidenceof sharks preying on sea lions or seals inAlaskan waters, sharks do feed on pinnipeds inother parts of the world. Gallucci says moreinvestigation is needed to know for sure.

The interactions that have been occurring,and those possible in the future, are impossibleto determine without knowing the life history ofthe sharks, Gallucci says. Fieldwork last summer,for instance, revealed that most of the salmonsharks caught were females but researchersdon’t know why. Among other things, Gallucci’sgroup is trying to find ways to analyze hormonesfrom blood samples that might allow them todetermine the age, sexual maturity and otherinformation. Such life-history data can then beused to model shark dynamics.

Unraveling the basic biology of the animalsalso may give scientists insight on how theselarge predators might shape the ecosystem in thefuture.

HUSKY FEVER HALL OF FAME

By Noah Cohan

Though Washington’s proud athletic historydates back to the late 1800’s, Husky fanshave had little chance to truly revel in the

school’s heritage.That is, until now.With the opening of the Husky Fever Hall of

Fame in the west end of the remodeled Bank ofAmerica Arena, Washington fans will get to do justthat.

“Husky fans are going to be thrilled when theywalk in the door,” says Athletic Director BarbaraHedges. “They will see things they’ve never seenbefore. Most people have not seen the nationalchampionship trophy, the women’s crew trophies,or the Outland Trophy. They have not seen a lot ofthe memorabilia we have that goes back to 1895or before.”

A $1 million donation from Husky Fever pro-vided the majority of the funding for the exhibi-tion, which was a bare-bones reception areabefore the Arena’s renovation.

“We were just thrilled to be a part of it,” saysHusky Fever Executive Director Jo Anne Hume. “Alot of fans don’t understand that Husky Fever ismore than just a slogan, or the way a fan feels ongame day. It’s actually a company that generates asignificant amount of revenue for the athleticdepartment. We are thrilled we were able to be asignificant part of the Campaign for the Student-Athlete and to contribute to the Arena’s renovationin this matter.

“The Hall of Fame has surpassed all of ourexpectations, as far as how it features the historyof Husky athletics. The look of the room is justincredible.”

From the trophies, to the memorabilia, to the

stately cherry wood casework and gold medal-lions that bear the likeness of each Hall of Fameinductee, there is truly something for every fan. Asenjoyable as it is to wander through its colorfuldisplays, however, the Hall of Fame is meant toeducate as well as entertain.

“We have a lot more history than I think theaverage person is aware of,” remarks Husky Hallof Fame archivist David Torrell. “When people goto the Hall of Fame they are going to have atremendous sense of pride in what the Husky ath-letic department has done over time. There areprobably about 250 various artifacts and morethan 300 photographs spread out through theHall of Fame. Everything molded together interms of content, so that everything is depicted

exactly the way it was.”The space’s rich purple and lustrous gold

tones, however, highlight more than just the manyaccomplishments of former Huskies.

“There are basically two parts to the Hall,”Torrell explains, “One is the acknowledgement ofthe existing athletes and teams that have alreadybeen inducted into the Hall of Fame. The otherpart, which actually takes up most of the space, isa presentation trying to capture a picture or theessence of each sport that we have at theUniversity. There is a tremendous mix of new andold.”

Whether it be volleyball, track, football, soc-cer, softball or gymnastics, each and every pro-gram within the Husky sports lexicon has a homein the Hall.

“It is going to be a revelation for our Huskyfans,” remarks Hedges, “They are going to seeevery sport in the program right now and also thesports that are no longer in the program.”

With so much to offer, the Hall of Fame is aplace that could take a great deal of time to fullyexperience. Thanks to its open floor plan, howev-er, Husky fans will be able to wander through theHall of Fame unguided and at their own pace,allowing for a quick walk through or a deepexamination of all the Hall has to offer.

Open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdaysand during special hours on game days, Torrellbelieves the Hall will quickly become an impor-tant part of the Husky experience.

“It is going to be a natural thing that peopleare going to want to gravitate to when they are atevents,” he says.

A natural thing which Husky fans will neveragain have to be without.

New Exhibition Strives to Educate and Entertain

The championship trophy from the 1985 Orange Bowl (left) is one of many artifactswhich stir memories of Husky glory past and present.

This statue of Sunny Boy, an early UW mascot, disappeared in 1923, was found 23 yearslater in South Bend, Ind., and now resides permanently in the Husky Fever Hall of Fame.

HUSKY ATHLETICSA Tradition of Success on the Field and in the Classroom

Husky Athletics is about young men and women competing on a national level athletically while succeeding academically at theUniversity of Washington. This fall, 650 student athletes will don the purple and gold and compete for the Huskies on 21teams. The cost to recruit and retain world class student-athletes is high. In 2001-2002, Husky supporters invested $5 million

in student-athlete scholarships. With the recent 16 percent increase in tuition, that figure will increase by $400,000 this year.

HELP A HUSKY STUDENT ATHLETE

Because the athletic program is self-sustaining and does not receive state or Universitysubsidies, this increased cost will need to be raised privately.We will be asking all Huskies to considermaking a contribution specificallyearmarked for scholarship support.

HELP YOURSELF

In addition to feeling good about helpingHusky student-athletes, you will help yourselfthree ways: (1) This contribution is 100 percent taxdeductible. (2) This contribution will count toward

important Tyee Points for Tyee seat holders. These points will be added immediately and will affectyour 2003 football and basketball seats. (3) Scholarship donors $5,500 and up will be invited tothe annual Donor Appreciation Scholarship Luncheon and have a chance to meet the student-athletethey support.

“Being at Washington has been a life-changing experience for me.My athletic scholarship has provided me the opportunity to explorenew educational boundaries, and I will leave here a better person asa result. I will forever be in debt to Husky fans, who support thescholarship program.” — Anthony Kelley
