Morris Sets Record

all four conversions to set a new
school individual season’s .scoring
record of 68 points. The Medford !

12 times for 36 yards.
The Ducks scored early in the j
first quarter, twice in the third
quarter and again in the final
stanza. Shanley and Quarter

twice.
It was the most lop-sided loss
an Oregon team has tacked on i

score was 38-0. Last year the
Ducks made a shambles of Ore
gon State's homecoming, trounc- i

after Morris converted, the
teams battled to a standoff until
halftime. Then in the third quar

ley again going over left end for
one score and Morris converting,
and Crabtree diving into the end
zone from one yard out as the
quarter ended.
Crabtree capped a fourth-quar
ter drive of 61 yards by going
over from the two on an option
play. Morris' conversion, straight
and true as the three preceding,
made it 28-0.
