Washington-Lewis Conning Oregon Meets Stanford LINE COACH JERRY FREI demonstrates pass defense technique on sophomore guard Duncan Hay (58) during team workout Wednesday. The Oregon group drilled on this and other aspects of their defense throughout the week in preparation for Saturday's Multnomah Stadium encounter with Stanford. Game time is 2 p.m. Jim Chaskin Photo By RON EACHUS Emerald Sports Writer Oregon's Ducks, with a rookie quarterback and a host of doubtful starters open 1966 AAWU competition Saturday at Multnomah Stadium in Portland against Stanford’s talent rich Indians. Stanford is led by sophomore quarterback Gene Washington and halfback Dave Lewis and boasts a 2-1 record with wins over San Jose State and Tulane. The Ducks are winless in three starts, losing to Oklahoma, Utah, and San Jose State. Despite last week’s 21-7 loss to San Jose State, Oregon coach Len Casanova found several bright spots in the Oregon offense. One was the play of quarterback Mike Barnes, who is slated to direct the Oregon attack Satur day. Barnes, after just one week of practice at the helm, passed for 126 yards and ran for 33 yards and one touchdown. A fierce competitor, Barnes was particularly effective on the sprint out pass and, despite lack of passing practice, completed 8 of 18. Another boost was given to the offense by the play of junior halfback, Scott Cress. Injured in Oregon’s pre-season practice, Cress made his first extended appearance of the season, catching four passes for 90 yards and gaining 22 yards in seven carries. Oregon’s offense however suffered two vital blows in early week drills. Monday, first string fullback, Arlan Elms pulled a hamstring muscle during a light drill and is un likely to see action. Another blow came in Tuesday’s drills when strong running sophomore tailback, Claxton Welch left the field with an injury after trying to put on a block in a contact session. Welch had not seen action since being injured in Oregon’s season opener with Oklahoma and was expected to be ready for the Indians. His playing status for Saturday is now uncertain. With Welch and Elms injured, Steve Jones will likely remain at the tailback spot where in three games he has become the Duck’s leading rusher with 197 yards. Jones, a 195 pound sophomore began the sea son as a fullback and was moved back to that position when Elms was injured. But that was before Welch became hurt. Kent Grote, a 6-2, 195 pound sophomore, will start at fullback. In previous meetings Stanford holds a 22-12 1 edge over the Ducks and the two teams are 6-6 in the northwest. The Ducks have dominated the series in recent years with seven straight victories from 1957 through 1963. However, Stanford has defeated the Ducks for the past two years with do-everything Dave Lewis engineering last minute victories.

Baltimore entered the series as 8-5 underdogs, but now lead it, two games to zero. Jim Palmer at 20 became the youngest pitcher ever to throw a World Series shutout, hand cuffing the Dodgers on four ; hits. Sandy Koufax was the loser.

PP, you may or may not know, has five distinct parts to his bruin that he uses to make his astounding predictions. One part takes into account a team's offense, another, a team's defense, another, what they had for breakfast, another, how many of the guys' parents are watching, and still another, the molecular substructure formed from the neutrons of the glucose of the sideline grass. His predictions for a team are based on how many of the five above things they have going for them If a team's offense and defense is superior, for example, but everything else is against them, chances are 3-2 they will lose. So if a team has five things going for it, then it is a unnnimous choice, and all but a shoo-in to win. In that case. PP will insert the letter A in parentheses before that team. If one portion of PP’s brain disagrees with the rest, then it is a consensus choice, and PP will insert the letter B before the favorite. Any favorite winning by just a 3-2 vote of the brain cells, gets just a C in front of it. So, with that explained, PP will proceed with the predictions in addition to the usual procedure of commenting on the more important games (C) STANFORD over Oregon by 1: In view of the Duck’s performance the last three weeks, they have to be under dogs. But in view of the Indians’ almost equally bad show ings, the choice is a narrow one. Gene Washington will be the difference . . . and PP deserts the Ducks for the first time this year. (A) OREGON STATE over Northwestern by 10: The Beaver de fense is improving all the time. And, against Northwestern, the offense should score. Expect a big day for Pete Pifer. <B) SOUTHERN CAL over Washington by 7: Something in Wash ington’s 38-22 thrashing of Ohio State convinced one of PP’s brain divisions that the Huskies will win. But the rest say no. (A) CALIFORNIA over San Jose State by 13 State's Holman will find the Bear defense more rugged than expected. Cal is young, but gaining confidence all the time. The Bears will win by putting the pressure on Holman that Oregon’s defense couldn’t provide.
