Webfoots Fly to McDonalds Farm!
By PAUL POLSKY
Emerald Associate Sports Editor
Head Coach Len Casanova, his coach
ing staff, and squad will depart at 1
p.m today for a Saturday date in Boise,
Idaho with the Idaho Vandals.
Cas reports he will take 44 players,
but will be without the sendees of full
back Arlan Elms and possibly wingback
Scott Cress.
Cress sustained a badly sprained ankle
early in the week and his condition is
still uncertain.
Oregon Sports Information Director
Hal Childs called Cas Thursday morning
and reported that the weather was warm
and quite good. However, Childs also
said there was a 20 per cent chance of
rain for Saturday and that a high school
game is to be played tonight on the
same field.
Stop McDonald
Cas reports that his main concern this
week is finding a way to stop All-Ameri
can Ray McDonald, the tailback, and full
back Butch Slaughter.
McDonald at 6-5. 248. is quite a for
midable runner once he reaches full
speed. He also has bruising power into
the line and breaks many tackles.
Slaughter is 5-9. 190 and a two year
letterman. He averaged 4.3 yards per
carry in 1965 and like McDonald is a
tough, hard runner with good speed.
Asked if he feared the Vandals' size,
Cas replied with a very affirmative, “I
sure do."
"They're not slow either,” added Cas.
He mentioned that in the Idaho-WSU
game a Cougar back got loose for a long
run and a lineman some ten yards behind
from the start actually gained ground
on the fleeing halfback.
Vandals Dominated WSU
"They have had some disappointing
games: they should have won last week,”
related Cas. The Vandals dominated
their WSU game, the statistics, and the
ball, but came out on the short end of a
14-7 score. The Cougars scored late in
the game to win.
"They’ll be hungry for a win, but we
are too,” Cas added.
Cas also mentioned the fact that the
Vandals have a solid team overall but
do lack a little bit in depth. He said the
Vandals are a lot bigger than Air Force,
but he is not sure about their quickness.
Looking at some of the other Vandal
personnel, and 15 of the 22 starters are
lettermen. Cas noted quarterback John
Foruria as plenty dangerous.
"We have a lot of respect for him; he
is a good runner, and has been a good
passer.”
Foruria didn't play against the Ducks
last year in Oregon's Homecoming game
because he was sidelined with a punc
tured lung suffered against OSU. The
6-2, 195 pound, two year letterman gained
408 yards total offense last year, com
pleting 24 passes for 200 yards, in four
games.
Foruria is an erratic passer and has
completed less than 35 per cent of his
tosses this year but has averaged close
to 14 yards a completion.
Murrell, Miller Knds
His main targets include Manny Mur
rell. a speedster from Dong Beach, and
Ray Miller a 245 pound, 6-5 tight end
Although each has good moves and fine
speed the Vandals are not noted for
their air attack.
Oregon's starting backfield is basically
the same as last week, with Mike Barnes
at quarterback, Kent Grotc at fullback,
Steve Jones at tailback, and wingback
Roger Smitli if Cress is unable to go.
The Duck line will probably remain
unchanged except for Roger StaUhut whe
is still a little stiff from a back problem,

CONSTITUENCY — I’M SORRY. I didn’t keep abreast of your
feelings
If I had, I would have realized that you wish to not only know
what my amazing predictions are, but also how I arrive at them. So,
once again. Til introduce the five brain system which made its
famous appearance three weeks ago, but unfortunately—to the com
plete chagrin of everybody in the populated world—went out the
next.
I hate to do this, you realize. That’s why I dropped it in the first
place. Making predictions takes all of my time—save 185.9 seconds
for eating and 1.227 seconds for sleeping—from game termination
time the one Saturday to Emerald Press Time the following
Thursday.
But I’ve been getting thousands of letters per hour these past
two weeks—some postmarked New York, others Saigon, and all with
only the letters “PP” on the envelope—so public demand forces me
to submit.
I'll be a little sleepier and five pounds thinner because of it, but
the public is my master—and what they say, I do.
Most of you know what my five brain abbreviations are all about_
but since there are people who missed out on my column three weeks
ago by not ordering the column (in the form of the Emerald) at
least two months in advance, I’ll explain it again.
An ‘A” preceding the favored team means all my five brains (and
this time I won’t describe how each of those brains function) agree
on the choice, and the team is consequently a unanimous choice of
my cerebella. A “B” before the favorite means it was just a con
sensus (4-1) choice, and a “C” naturally enough means a split deci
sion—a 3-2 choice. So, here we go.
Last week we went 26 right, 8 wrong for .765. This week we’ll do
even better.
(A) OREGON 6 over Idaho—Ray McDonald couldn't get untracked
against the so-so Duck defense of last year, and definitelv won't
against the superior defense of this year. Mike Barnes will pass them
silly.
(B) OREGON STATE 2 over WSU—But don’t put this one in the
bag Beaver coach Dee Andros will probably start Paul Brothers—

amounted to six quarters before
Eugene emerged on top, 18-12.
Pacific Football League rules
include the sudden death play
off, if there is a tie at the end
of regulation play. And it took
the Bombers over an extra quar
