Pitt Team Finds '65 Ducks Difficult It’s pronounced “trouble,” but it’s spelled “T-R-O-V-A-T-O,” and it turned out to be one of the reasons for Oregon's second straight win in as many years over the University of Pittsburgh Saturday in Pittsburgh. Trovato. one of a number of quarterbacks for Len Casanova’s Oregon varsity football crew, made trouble for Pittsburgh and led the Ducks to two third-period touchdown drives for a coine from-behind 17-15 victory. The Ducks dumped the Pan thers in 1964 by a 23-14 score in Portland’s Multnomah Stadium. But it wasn’t all quarterbacking for Oregon’s successful squad in their 1965 grid debut as a couple of key pass interceptions late in the fourth quarter, plus a tena cious defense, stalled Pittsburgh drives throughout the afternoon. Heat and humidity also played a hand in the contest as the tem perature soared to the high 90's and the humidity reached 85 per cent. Pitt Moves Ahead, 7-3 A 36-yd. field goal by Len Scholl put the Ducks into a 3-0 lead in the second quarter, but Pitt moved ahead 7-3 just before halftime on Bob Dyer’s one-yard plunge and Frank Clark’s PAT kick. Then Trovato made his second entrance of the day, his first at * 1417 Villard "On the East Edge of the Campus" tempt turning into a pass inter ception for Pittsburgh, and made the Oregon offense move on drives of 72 and 87 yards. Late in the game, after the Panthers had tallied their second touchdown on a nine-yard pass play from Dyer to end Mitch Zalnasky and scored a two-point conversion, this time from Dyer to halfback Eric Crabtree, Duck defensive backs pulled in two missed Pitt aerials to halt the Panther try for a win, either by a TD or field goal. Jim Smith and Scott Cress, both sophomores, came up with the passes to stall the drives. Pittsburgh, resting on the Duck seven yard line, saw a Dyer pass fall into the arms of Smith in the end zone. And Cress hauled in quarter All persons interested in working on The Emerald sports staff this year should attend a meeting in the Emerald office, 301 Allen Hall, Sunday at 2:30 p.m. All old staff members are asked to attend also.

Defense Stops Pitt The Duck defense stopped Pitt twice close to scoring territory early in the game. The first in stance the Panthers moved to the Oregon 27-yd. line and, in the second, to the 15. But both times the Ducks held up to the fourth down and both times Pitts burgh settled for the field goal—| missing in the two attempts. Starting quarterback Mike : Brundage engineered the Oregon attack in the first half and, in the second quarter, moved the Ducks to the 23 yd line. He hit on two passes to end Steve Bunker, and another to end Kay Palm, before the Pitt de fense tightened. From there Scholl booted his field goal and gave the Ducks a brief lead. But Pittsburgh scored, putting the Ducks behind. Then Casanova unvieled Trovato again at the start of the second half and quickly used his passing arm and the legs of his backfield to reach the Pitt goal. Cress Scores TD Fullback Dick Winn and half back Bill O’Toole took the ball from the backfield from Trovato’s hand and Palm and again O'Toole Trovato’s arm to set up the score.
