Webfoots stunned by underdog WSU
B\ CHRIS CHURCH

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

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.
Len Casanova, head coach of
the Webfoots, blamed Oregon's

defeat oft" poorly played defense;
in the first half. "We played ter- ,
rible defense in the first half,
missing tackles and not giving
good pursuit.” said Cas. "We
weren't moving.”
Oregon fullback Jim Josephson,
who was the work-horse in the,
Oregon effort with 22 carries for
70 yards, hurt his knee and dis-,
located one fniger. His injuries
are slight, however, and accord
ing to coaches he should not be ,
out of action next week in Co
lumbus.
ALSO, LARRY HILL was shak
en up during the contest but re
entered later and is believed to be
all right.
Renfro was still noticeably
bothered by his foot oi>eration
and still limping.
While the Washington State
contest was supposed to be an
easy victory for the Webfoots,
their trip to Columbus to meet |
with one of the nation's highest,
ranking team. Ohio State Univ
ersity, is to be about the oppo
site.
THK DUCKS will be a heavy
underdog as they enter the con
test with their four win. four loss
record. The Buckeyes have not i
lost a game this seuson. but tied |

They have impressive wins over
such teams as UCLA, Wisconsin,
Illinois, and Iowa.
