  • Chapter-3-1997-2014-R3nrgc.Pdf
    Chapter 3: 1997-2014 After 1996, the crew team had a short period of difficulty. Coach Phil Holmes took over from Phil Busse although the transition does not appear to have been smooth. One short article from the Oregon Daily Emerald, in the fall, quoted Holmes as saying, “The rowers are very pleased with themselves, and I am, too,” but then, in a section blacked out by whoever saved the article, he added, “they started from scratch after being abandoned last Willamette Regatta, 1997 year.” 1 In another fall article, Holmes expressed a feeling that 1996-1997 would be “a rebuilding year.” 2 Phil Holmes was an experienced rowing coach with short stints at UC Berkeley in the mid-1970s, Cal Maritime Academy in the late-1970s, and Lakeside High in Seattle up to 1985. His position with Oregon, which ran from 1997 to 1999, was his first work as a coach since 1985.3 The crew would go through the traditional series of races in the fall and spring of that year including the LO/OP and Head of the Lake in the fall4 along with two races in Seattle, The Covered Bridge Regatta at Dexter Lake, and the Pac-10 Championships in Sacramento during the spring.5 6 7 Two crews, the men’s varsity 4+ and women’s varsity 8+, were invited to the prestigious Opening Day Regatta that year at the University of Washington. The men’s boat finished 4/7 behind two Husky boats and a Western Washington crew that had placed ahead of them in three straight races.8 The women’s boat was unfortunately disqualified from their race after hitting a buoy and breaking a rigger, the part which holds up the oar, on the boat.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.
