Football, this weekend for 34 completely satisfied, jubilant
Oregon Ducks, was a game of waiting, Betpre Saturday >
fictional finish could even unfold in front of Washington
State’s roaring homecoming crowd of near 20,(XX). the \\ eh
foots remained hidden in Lewiston, miles from the traffic
of noises. They waited under misty, obvious Palouse Conn
tr\ clouds Friday, all-day, and half of Saturday.
Jack Morris, John Robinson, and J. C. Wheeler waited
in Lewiston’s one record shop Friday, after the Oregon
train had arrived in Idaho’s most west-ward city. Others,
like quarterback Paul Grover and tackle Darrell Asch
bacher, waited in bed. reading, studying. And ask Bob
Grottkau. He waited at least an hdur for breakfast.
Out of the 1100-mile rail journey came little Rose Bowl
talk. The Pasadena trip still seemed miles off. Morris, and
guard Harry Mondaie, the team veterans still said "We’re
playing each game as a whole season.".After it
was all over: The dressing room. Oregon side of course,
was loaded. No more waiting. The Oregon-State UCLA
final couldn’t have came a moment earlier, either. "That
makes us number one, doesn’t it?” Mondale shouted.
Everyone agreed.
Pullman, for 24 hours, \\a- the world's craziest football
town. Homecoming, plus tire “game” made it so, even days
before the two PCC rival- squared off on the green, quick
Rogers Field grass. WSC's student newspaper, The Ever
green, labeled the contest “a Battle for the Rose-." The
student half of the WSC stands was filled an hour and a
half before kickoff time, and Cougar supporters are nois\
.Thev yelled when the \\ SC band approached the
field for pre-game festivities. They yelled louder when a
huge cougar mascot paraded onto the field in a cage.
And even a 7-0 Oregon halftime advantage didn’t thwart a
fine sign-card demonstration during intermission.
A few chuckles, though, when the colored cards appeared
with a large red rose, but the pa.-.- from Leroy Phelps to
Jim Shanlev for the second Duck score in the fourth -tanza
seemed an end to much of the festivities.
Sutherland Congenial Host
Jim Sutherland, W ashington State’s coach, is a true gen
tleman. We talked with him after the game—asked him
about the PCC’s future. “I don’t think any of us will apply
for a Big Five Conference now. It’.' wonderful that two
teams like this can have the chance t > play each other. Ore
gon is a truly fine team.”.Duck coach Len Casanova
sped quickly to the WSC dressing room after the game end
ed in an attempt to console Cougar quarterback Bobby
Newman. Xevvman missed the extra-point that would have
given his team a tie, and was sobbing when Cas reached
him.Our nomination for coach of the year: A dead
heat between W'SC’s Sutherland and Oregon's Casanova.
A few Oregon bests.Biggest eater: Will Reeve,
the big Duck tackle from North Bend, by a sizeable mar
gin, although close competition from center Dave Fish
and Grottkau.Best dresser: Willie West, before
boarding the bus at McArthur Court Thursday eve, looked
like a page from a Playboy fashion feature. Green hat,
and all the trimmings.Best poker player: Fish,
again, this trip anyway. Hardest workers of all-Managers
Jack Cogswell and Doc McDonald who climbed out of bed
Saturday before the sun came up, and drove tons of equip
ment over the winding highway out of Lewiston headed
for Pullman. Same pair get honors for mo3t tired team
members on the return trip .
The Ducks were represented by a band from North Cen
tral high school, but someone got their signals crossed on
the musical choice. The band’s colors were that hated orange
and black.Dedicate the Oregon victory to Norm
Chapman, who may be lost for the rest of the season with
the ankle fracture. His injury will hurt, no doubts about
that, but his understudy, rookie Bob Peterson, filled in cap
ably for the remainder of the contest.Newman and
Ellingsen are both juniors, and the Cougar’s all-American
end Bill Steiger, sitting the year out with a neck injury, will
be back for more pass-catching next fall. Steiger is helping
the WSC coaching staff this year.
Misers with the Ball
The climax.Shanley, after it was all over, grabbed
the winning ball and was clutching it en route to the dress
ing room. Walking behind him, a lot slower and a bit more
unhappy, were two males with big Cougars on their jackets
.“Who’s got the ball?” said one.“That’s Shan
ley,” the other replied.“I’m pretty sure they’ll let
him keep it,” was the retort, “We couldn’t get it away all
clay.”
