SONNICHSEN Emerald Sports Writer Second - half heroics by San Jose passing wizzard Danny Hol man sparked the previous winless Spartans to a 21-7 victory over Oregon Saturday at sunny Hay ward Field. The thrice vanquished Ducks contained Holman in the initial two quarters, allowing the junior from Carmel, California only a single completion in four at tempts. Unfortunately, that com .pletion—good for 56 yards — re sulted in a touchdown which cut the Ducks’ lead to 7-6 at half - time. Though the scoreboard’s inter ■ mission revelation said other wise, Coach Len Casanova’s men turned in a performance far su perior to the Staters in the sta tistically uneven first half. Led by rookie quarterback Mike Barnes, an agile scrambler, the Oregonians maintained almost constant momentum, but only capitalized on their adept play on one occasion. Two other point - making chances ended in futility. Oregon got the touchdown drive under way from their own 47 following a quick-kick by San Jose State. After fullback Arlan Elms gained two through the center of the Spartan line, Barnes —starting his first varsity game as Duck signal caller—fired a 16 yard pass to Steve Bunker on the right sideline. The running of Steve Jones, Scott Cress and Elms kept the drive alive, and as the second quarter began, Oregon found itself on the SJ 19. From there, Jones picked up six through left tackle to the 13. On the next play San Jose safety A1 Saunders was caught inter fering with Bunker, and the Web foots were awarded a first down at the three. Three plays later Barnes swept right end for the score. Mike Brundage’s placement made it 7-0 with 13:18 remaining in the half. Missed Opportunities Sandwiched around the touch down were two near-miss series which proved to seal the Ducks’ eventual doom. In the first-quarter Oregon de Casavona Agrees; Passing Did It By RON EACHOS Emerald Sports Writer A dejected Len Casanova summed up the second half of Oregon’s 21-7 loss to San Jose State’s Spartans last Saturday with two brief words. “They threw.” And throw they did. Or rather the Spartan’s Danny Holman did. With San Jose trailing 7-6 after an Oregon dominated first half. Holman, the nation’s leading passer prior to gametime, completed £8 of 22 in the second half for two touchdowns and 245 yards. In the first half Holman had completed only one of four passes and had two intercepted. But in the second half he immediately gave the Spartans the lead as he drove them 64 yards with four pass plays and then ran a string of eleven straight completions. “They did nothing different in the second half except throw,” explained Casanova. “Their receivers were a step ahead of us many times and Holman got rid of the ball pretty quickly. “We couldn’t pressure him all the time or he’d pick up apart,” he added. One reason the Spartans didn’t throw much the first half was the play domination of Oregon. The Ducks ran 55 plays to the Spartan’s 16. Four times the Ducks were inside the San Jose 50 yard line and twice inside their 30. But a fumble killed a drive on the one yard line, another was stopped on the three, and another died at mid field. “We should have had three touchdowns that first half," Cas said. (Cantiuwd on pun? 5) ........ fensive back Jim Smith, who did a great job on the primary SJ receiver, Steve Cox, intercepted Holman's pass on the State 32. Off-tackle jaunts by Steve Jones and the effective end skirts of Barnes—who received excellent blocking from Elms—moved the pigskin to the six. Then Barnes attempted a pass to end Lynn Hendrickson—open in the end zone. The pass was incomplete, I but Spartan Eric Watts was shov ing on the play, and Oregon had a first down at the one. However, Barnes fumbled on the ensuing play and the visitors recovered on the half-yard line. San Jose Scores Although Oregon dominated the first half—they had a 55-16 play advantage and gave San Jose but one first down—the Spartans were able to score. With third and six at his own 44, Holman made use of his sole completion in the first 30 min utes, threading needle to flanker Saint Thomas Saffold slanting over the middle. Saffold, the game’s leading receiver with six grabs for 152 yards, made a jug gling catch and powered into the end zone.

Next. Holman’s excellent pro tection and faking afforded Saf fold ample time to maneuver, and the wide - open S. T. pulled in a 28-yarder for 12-7. San Jose atoned for the pre vious blocked PAT when Holman passed for a two-point conversion. With 12:40 left in the third quar ter, the Spartans led 14-7.
