REMEMBER WHEN lly CHIUS CHIKCH Assistant Sports K<lltor It wan a cold day in Portland on Saturday, Oct. 24, 1959, but tin- large t crowd to ever witness an athletic event in tin' state of Oregon braved threatening skies and thronged into Multnomah Stadium for the highly publicized clash between the I'niversity of Washington and the I'niver-dty of (tregon gridders. 'The Huskies and the Duck were the two top contenders for the Rose Howl bid. He ide ■ the age old rivalry between the two colleges, the Oregon* were out to play spoilers for the 11 nskies. Hut much more depended on the outcome of the contest. The Ducks were rated 11th in the nation and had not lost a contest in fi\c starts. Washington had compiled a 4-1 rec ord w ith their only loss coming just a week earlier to USC, 22 15. In essence, the Washington Oregon tilt was to decide the sunremacv of the West. AND. WHAT’S MORE, the Ducks had only beaten the Huskies once in the previous ten starts. According to the pre-game publicity, if the \YVbfoots were going to ever break the "jinx" this was the year to do it. Thing looked good for the Duck going into the contest. In compiling their five wins, quarterback Dave Grosz, then; a junior, halfbacks Cleveland Jones and W illie West, and fullback Dave I’owell had been ensational. A week earlier the yellow and green forces had soundly trounced the Air J-’orce Academy 20-3 in Portland, thus ending the longest win streak in the nation at 1 I games. THE WEBFOOTS started well, but it was going t<> be a long afternoon. The first time Oregon got the ball they acted a- if they hadn't even heard of the superior Husky; defense and marched 7X yards in just 14 play into paydirt when Dave I’owell sina-'ied in from the one yard stripe.1 lint, then the trouble started although the 37,261 inter-: < -ted on lookc r> w ere not aware of it yet. A high pa from center forced Duck place kicker Roger Daniel- to run f r it when he saw there was no time to kick. Daniels mafic it to the five a- he headed around end before he was lot. but he didn't make the twoqiointer. THE DUCKS, m>t particularly worried or pre-sured halted two Hit v drive almost before they started and took over on their own 30 yard line. West and I’owell took turns running the ball and moved the Oregon grid forces up to the midfield stripe when Grosz elected to try a long pass on a first and ten situation. The talented < )rcgon quarterback dropped back and threw for West on the Washington 20. W est was there waiting and a desperation tackle, timed just a tittle bit early by Wash ington safety George Flemming caused the referee to go into a rage signifying pass interference when West could not! pull it in. POWELL DROVE to the 12 and on the next play Grosz i fired to Greg Altenhofen in the end zone. Then, unfortunate incident number two occurred. The Ducks, not too worried about conversions because they now led by a 12-0 margin and seemed to be scoring almost at will, elected to try for the two point conversion. Grosz fired a short pass intended for Altenhofen again, but an alert Husky defender intercepted and the conversion was forgot ten. SHORTLY AFTER the kickoff, unfortunate incident number three struck the inspired VVebfoots. It started to rain and the speed advantage the Ducks had enjoyed before was forgotten w hen footing became uncertain The confident Ducks became perhaps a little too confident and allowed the Huskies a score on a 41-yard drive led by their sensational quarterback, Rob Schloredt, who had inter cepted a Grosz pass. FLEMMING MISSED the extra-point try and Oregon w'as still leading comfortably, 12-6 when the half ended. When the Huskies took the field in the second half they were a different team. A 64 yard drive in only seven plays led them to paydirt and tie score near the end of the third stanza. 'This time Flemming did not miss and the Huskies were leading 14-12. THE NOW DESPERATE VVebfoots could get nothing going throughout the third and most of the fourth quarter until they started a last ditch drive in the closing minutes of the contest, going from their own 39 to the Washington '14 before trouble hit them one last time—and this time, the hardest. Grosz dropped back to pass with third down and two to go, a good call because of the tightening defense of the Huskies, got lots of protection and threw in the end zone w here he had a. receiver open. Rut. Schloredt made a despera tion leap and came down w ith the ball. THE DUCKS got the ball one more time, with just 45 seconds to go, but again Grosz threw for an interception and the contest was over. Washington had again jinxed the Ducks and cost them a Rose Row 1 bid beating them by one point, 13-12. o IM mat action gets rousing start Several first round matches gave the spectators quick, excit ing competition in the 157, and 167 pound classes in intramural wrestling competition Monday.

Aging Archie KO's Pete Rademacher (From l"PI reports) Old Archie Moore battered one time Olympic boxing champion Pete Rademacher for a sixth round technical knockout at Baltimore last night. Moore—who owns half of the light heavyweight crown—floored Rademacher eight times in the non-title scrap. The 44-year old Moore, slow and flabby at 198-pounds, still packed a wallop and had Rade macher sitting on the canvas and bleeding profusely from the left brow when the end came. Referee Benny Goldstein halted the fight at two minutes and 10 | second?; of the sixth. Archie | floored his opponent the first '• time with a right to the chin at i the end of the fourth round. .. ... i Want to really get results?— Use Emerald Classified Ads— Phone DI 2-1411, Ext. 618. mike (SUFFICE jammed WITH C CLIENTS ALL PAY. ^ SOLVEP SEVERAL / INTEREST INS CASES.
