Webfoots stunned by underdog WSU B\ CHRIS CHURCH Emerald Sports Editor A band of over-confident Ducks, obviously looking ahead: to Columbus, Ohio. allowed, Washington State's Cougars just i one touchdown too many and au upset victory, 22-21 in Pull man Saturday. A Cougar TD. scored late in i the fourth stanza, put the game out of Oregon's reach and made the WSU Homecoming a happy one. Winners of only one other game this season, a 34-0 drubbing of Idaho, the Pullman grid warriors combined a fine ground attack with a clutch aerial display to surprise and subdue the Webfoots. Hugh Campbell, called the na tion's best end by Oregon scouts, caught only three passes, but two of them set up WSU scores. It was Campbell who pulled one in on the Oregon two, late in the game, to allow the final Cougar score and victory. Ar.d. as Oregon scouts had also said, if the WSU ground attack could get going it would mean trouble for the Ducks. It cer tainly did mean trouble, and downfall. The Cougars only com pleted five passes in ten tries, way below their usual game aver age, and completely surprised Oregon defenses with a strong ground attack. FLEET FULLBACK George Reed scored three times for the Cougars and carried 29 times for 110 yards. Reed was a main fac tor in the Cougar lushing ma chine. Mel Renfro, who just a week before led the Duck win over Stanford, again led the Webfoots in ground gaining with a 5.0 yard per carry average and a 39 yard kickoff return, but could not bleak away when it counted Renfro gained high praise from STEVE BARNETT and RON SNIOOW . . . Oregon tackles lauded by Sutherland. GEORGE REED . . . scores three for WSU. WSU head mentor Jim Suther land for his efforts. Sutherland also lauded Oregon tackles Steve Barnett and Ron Snidow as “two great tackles.” THE WINNING Cougar- score came with only two and a half minutes to go in the clash. A Dave Mathieson pass to Camp bell on the Oregon two gave Reed the chance to score and he did. Mel Melin missed the PAT and Oregon trailed by one, 22-21. A last ditch drive by the Ore gonians fell short when a double reverse failed and a fake field Webfoots to give up the pigskin with just seconds to go. The Cougars scoied first, a field goal by Melin late in the first quarter, and from then on the Ducks were behind almost all the way. But, Oregon’s grid forces didn’t seem particularly worried until after the final State TD. The j Ducks came from behind with a minute gone in the last quarter on a Renfro score and a Buck Corey extra point kick to go; ahead, 21-16. AND SECOND - GUESSERS will wonder for a while just why ■ the Ducks did not go for the two-point conversion. With a four point lead, 20-16, one point does no good, but six would make a Washington State PAT necessary for the win should they score again. And, they scored again and n-.issed the extra point try.

"We played ter- , rible defense in the first half, missing tackles and not giving good pursuit.” said Cas.
