Webfoots to meet Air Force in Portland By LARRY KURTZ Emerald Sports Editor Oregon's powerful Webfoots, with four straight victories to their credit in 1959. face their sternest test of the season Satur day afternoon in Portland when they meet the United States Air Force Academy, winner of 14 con secutive games over* this season and last. The Falcons, who battled Rose Bowl champion Iowa to a 13-13 deadlock and then knotted Texas Christian 0-0 in the Cotton Bowl on New Year's day. have one of the country's most diversified of fensive attacks, employing prac tically every formation known in college football. That makes It plenty tough on the defense—something the Webfoots have not been too successful with this season. The man who makes the Falcon attack go is senior quarterback Richie Mayo, a Californian who ranked fourth in the nation in passing in 1958 and has proved he's going to be hard to stop this year as well. Mayo has di rected the Academy to .four straight wins. One of the victories came last Saturday against an opponent that Oregon is very familiar with —Idaho. The Falcons, using a speedy, hard-hitting line to good advan tage. ripped the bigger Vandals 21-0, and it was only because they made some costly mistakes that they were unable to get more points on the scoreboard. Oregon coach Len Casanova is sending the Webfoots through some extra-special workouts this week in an all-out effort to get his players ready for the contest, which will be one of the nation’s bigger football at tractions of the week. Without any serious injuries sustained in the San Jose game, the Ducks should be ready, physically, for a game effort against the USAF, which has also remained quite healthy. Experts will have a tough time naming a favorite for this one, since neither has met a common opponent or the other in the past. Oregon, it should be noted, has played the rougher schedule so far. and may get the favorite's tag on that basis. The Ducks have played Stanford and Washington State, while Air Force’s only com parable opponent has been Wyo ming. The Falcons have won other games over Idaho and lightly regarded Trinity—a school that doesn’t make a practice of tangling with big-name foot ball squads. Of course, the Falcons have had little trouble in winning their first four encounters, and Sat urday's game should clear up the question whether the Academy can handle the tough teams as well as the easy ones. On the other hand. Oregon has not exactly set the world on fire with their opening victories. Im pressive though the offensive spark and drive has been. The Ducks have looked very weak on defense at times, and against a passer of Mayo’s caliber, they might run into some real trouble—as they did when * JUNIOR GUARD Dave Urell will be in Oregon’s starting. lineup Saturday at Multnomah Stadium when the Ducks face the United States Air Force Academy in an important intersectional game.
