REMEMBER WHEN

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.
