Jud Shutts and Scott Volker ; swept the 200-yard backstroke. Shutts’ winning time of 2:08 4 was only six-tenths of a second off last year’s meet record set by I Oregon's Julian Carroll.

This one-two punch upped Oregon’s lead to 54 25 Hut the Ducks weren’t through.

The Huskies' setback came in their first conference game of the season. "They had done pretty well against Canadian teams," said Oregon coach Bruce Howe, "and they arc much stronger this year.” Oregon's scoring came on tries by Ken LeDoux, Don Simonson and Vic (ironn Barry Ward, the conference scoring leader with 13 points, had a penalty kick and two extra point kicks. The Ducks never trailed, leading 11-0 at half time. It was an expensive victory for Oregon, however. LeDoux will be lost for the season with a broken collarbone. Back Dave Bottemil ler, who suffered a knee injury, “should be able to play again pretty soon,” according to Howe. The coach noted that forward Ron Larson “had his best game of the season,” and that wing Dave Docharty is the “best on the coast at his position.” Backs Joe Raven, LeDoux and Botte miller also gave impressive per formances. The Oregon second team, which is “improving fast” in Howe’s opinion, recorded its first win of the season in a 3-0 victory over the Huskies’ second team. The (Continued on page 7) ; Moor exercise.
