Raider-
hater
By Richard James
After rushing around this
past Monday afternoon to get
things done so I could watch
the Monday night football
game, I was treated to one of
the most satisfying games I
have ever seen.
The reason being: I am a
Raider-hater.
And there's nothing a
Raider-hater likes to see more
than the Los Angeles Raiders !
fall flat on their/aces.
the Raider traveled to
Arrowhead Stadium in
Kansas City to face tbe
Chiefs. Things did not look .
gbod'for ihe Chiefs, as the
Raiders historically play well
on Monday night, with the
majority of their Monday
night contests being played
on the road.
The game started to look as
if it wou Id be a runaway: The
Raiders could have gone
ahead by 20 points or more,

Smith puts fun into conditioning
By Dan Evans
DC Sports writer
In the struggle to get his team
conditioned for the 1992 season,
Fresno State tennis coach Peter
Smith has a plethora of methods at
his disposal.
But Smith, who is preparing for
his rookie coaching season with the
Bulldogs after four years at Long
Beach State, has chosen to bypass
the tired, worn-out conditioning
drills used by his colleagues.
Smith has traded in his whistle
and stop-watch for a frisbee.
Ifs no joke. At least once a week,
Smith and his squad drop their
racquets in favor of "Ultimate Fris¬
bee," a football/soccer-like game
using the famous plastic discs. The
object, as you may be able to guess,
is to score touchdowns-goals for
your team without dropping the
frisbee.
Tm the best Ultimate Frisbee
player on campus," Smith said
without hesitation. "I don't think
(theplayers) agree, but I'm the coach
and the best evalua tor of talent. It's
a totally unbiased opinion."
Smith said the game offers his
players a strong cardiovascular
work-ou t, in addition to an interest¬
ing change of pace.
"They love it," Smith said. "Ifs
good and bad, though. There are a
few players who really get into it,
' but there are some players who will
staybajekabit '.' <
."If they were runningsprints, we
could time them and make sure they
weren't holding back. In this, you

Smithsaid he was introduced to On Oct. 2-6, several Bulldogs
the phenomenon of "Ultimate" (as participated in the West Coast Fall
it is known by those who play Men's Championships in Wood-
regularly) while at Long Beach.
"We used to do some very
strenuous exercises," he recalled.
"We ran up some really steep hills
and really nailed them hard. I

of the other things
we were doing.
You are con¬

and there's never
a time-out or a

"I think it

Smith said. "I've

round of qualifying. Payes is ranked
among the nation's top 50 players.
In the first round of the champi¬
onship draw, Jackson held a 6-3,4-
2 lead on UC Irvine's Mike Roberts,
one of the nation's 20best players,
according to Smith, before falling,
3-6,6-4,6-1. •'
"He was definitely in a position
to win that match," Smith said.
"But, it was early and I think Steve
doubted the fact that he could win
that kind of a match against that
kind of a player."'
Greg Anderson, a 5-11 senior
from Salinas, has played in three
tournaments this pre season and
leads a Bulldogs team that features
only three underclassmen.
The Bulldogs will be in action
again this weekend as they travel
to Moraga for the Northern Cali¬
fornia Regional Tournament at St.
Mary's College. Others schools in
the competition will include Cali¬
fornia, Stanford and schools from
Oregon and Washington.
"You name it, they'll be there,"
Smithsaid. "Ifs going tobea really
good test."
