Quack Cracks auiiittii r. Kiiltti au:w Miller No Cuozzo By DAVE BARONTI InwnM $ poets Editor DESPITE WHAT SOME people think. John1 Miller is not about to resign himself to being a perennial Gary Cuozzo. Cuozzo, you probably know, is possibly the second best quarterback in the National Football League, ace bench warmer, back-up man to the best, super-star Johnny Unitas of the Baltimore Colts, the guy who got his big chance to play when Unitas injured himself last year, the same guy who injured himself a few plays later, and who still watched the remainder of the season from the bench. Gary Cuozzo, a star netft to the sun, perennially a Johnny Unitas away from fame. . . . That’s what John Miller does not want to be. So who is John Miller? A 110-pound wrestler from Wilson High in Portland who missed being a 98-pound state champion his sophomore year in high school because he met Greg Morgan in the finals—one of those rare fellows i good enough to eventually win three state titles. The same John Miller who was best in that weight division the following year, but who was ineligible to participate in the state tournament because of a staph infection ... in his big toe. The same John Miller who was upset in the state semifinals his senior year by a guy who lost decisively to the eventual state cham pion. And John Miller, needless to say. had beaten—and most probably would have beaten again—that same state champion. John Miller—always a Morgan, an infection, or an upset away from his big goal. A Gary Cuozzo on a three-time scale, that was the story of his wrestling career in high school. Now. let’s turn to college. He's a freshman at the University of Oregon. Up until this year, winning a position on the frosh wrestling team has been as easy as turning out for the squad. But John Miller's here. And all that has changed Battling alongside this guy for that top 123-pound frosh spot will be no less than three Johnny Unitases (of sorts). First in line is his old rival. Greg Morgan—now a roommate of his at Bean Hall. Next is Kenichi Kanno. a Japanese national who placed second in his country’s prep championships two years ago before transferring to North Eugene High. Last spring he took third in the United States AAU tournament in Lincoln. Nebraska. And finally. Rick Mailloux. a two-time state champion in the 115-123 pound divisions from Lebanon. Ordinarily, three stars like these aren’t seen on the frosh team in three years. But, the Ducks got a new coach last year—Art Keith. And Keith has already proven to be the best wrestling recruiter in the history of the school. Three other two-time state champions in addition to the above named will be on the frosh squad this year. Miller’s determined to be number one. And if he gets what he wants on this team, the only other Johnny Unitases to be found will be in the national tournament. ***** THERE’S NO TIME FOR admiring your achievements dep’t: Ore gon’s football victory over Stanford last week will probably go down as the most satisfying in quite a few years for the Oregon coaching staff. But this week’s opponent—Air Force—is ranked in the Asso ciated Press’ top twenty. That’s why you see looks of determination instead of smiles of satisfaction on the faces of the Oregon coaches. A victory this week may not be more satisfying, but it would be more significant. Invest In Your Social Future! The Monkey and the Frug are fun, but how tong do they last?

Duck halfback Steve Jones moved up into third place from sixth in that PAC department Saturday by rushing for 126 yards against Stanford. So far this sea son, he has 323 yards—only 11 behind second place Don McCall of Southern California and 48 be hind front-running Donny Moore of the University of Washington. UCLA's brilliant Gary Beban has begun to move well ahead in total offense and has taken a narrow lead in conference scor ing as well. Beban gained 304 yards against Rice last week to move 338 yards ahead of Stan ford's second - place Gene Wash ington, who was held to only 14 yards by inspired Oregon. In team statistics, there were new leaders in three categories but UCLA and USC continue to lead all the departments. USC re mained on top in total defense and passing offense but came up from third to take the lead in both rush ing offense and rushing defense.
