UO Bids Hayward Bye With Loss
By D. L. SONNICHSEN

The University of Oregon football team
will receive a gift next season—a new
40,000seat stadium where all future
home games are to take place.
Saturday Oregon gave a present them
selves, a 14-13 foul-weathered victory to
Washington State in the swan song of
Hayward Field as the University’s foot
ball arena.
Despite losing, the Ducks dominated
the game from the statistical standpoint.
They had a 71-65 play advantage, accumu
lated 287 yards total offense to State's
176, and picked up 18 first downs to the
Cougars' 10.
One other numerical category deserves
mention: The Ducks had four passes
intercepted, and were unable to pick
off any WSU aerials.
However, despite the passing errors
Oregon made, a mechanical malfunction
was most responsible for the defeat,
halting a late fourth-quarter Oregon
drive at the State two.
After forcing WSU to punt, coach
Len Casanova's men launched a series
from their own 18 with about three min
utes remaining in the encounter, and the
score already standing at 14-13.
Quarterback Mike Barnes quickly com
pleted two passes, first a nine-yarder to
Scott Cress, then one good for 12 more
to Steve Bunker. Sprawled on the turf
the split end made a fantastic scooping
catch and Oregon had a first down at
their own 39.
Following an incompletion — WSU
safety Mike Cadigan actually intercepted
the pass, but in his anxiety let the ball
drop out of his grasp—an unnecessary
roughness call against Washington State
gave the hometowners another first down
at State’s 46.
Next, Tom Trovato took a lateral from
Barnes, then fired a 12-yard strike to
the quarterback downfield at WSU’s 34.
with 1:13_to go. After an incomplete toss
to Steve*~Jones. Barnes rolled right,
broke through two defenders at the 38
and scrambled to the 23 and a first down.
From there. Barnes found Bunker on
a sideline pattern with Steve making the
catch at the 11. then stepping out of
bounds. First down, clock stopped at
0:44.
MARCH CONTINUES
“Jones slashed up the middle on a draw
play, picking up just under 10 yards,
and the Ducks looked to be in business
at the two. Barnes wisely threw out of
bounds on the ensuing play, stopping the
clock with 28 seconds left.
Instead of a touchdown, only con
fusion resulted in the next few moments.
On third down, Barnes tried to crack
left tackle on a keeper for the score. He
was stopped cold. As the Oregonians
came to the line of scrimmage for actu
ally the fourth down play—their last
chance — the sideline down indicator
showed a big "3.”
Barnes and the other W’ebfoots as
sumed that Jones had picked up a first
down on his nine-plus run two plays
before, so another clock-haulting pass
was thrown. Just as Mike got the center
snap, the sideline operator changed the
marker to “4” and all the protests pos
sible couldn’t change the picture—a One
point defeat.
* The game was a study in frustration
from the standpoint of the Webfoot de
fense. Washington State was thwarted
each time the Cougars threatened to
get a drive underway, but three first half
WSU pass interceptions were too much
for Oregon to endure.
The three thefts—all picked off by one
Stater, soph Hick Reed who had never
started a game at defensive half before
—set a new WSU single-game record, and
set Oregon down 14 0. _
REED GOES TO WORK
Reed’s first steal did little damage save
wipe out the good field position Oregon
was given when they recovered a fumble
seconds before. The Duck defenders
were able to contain the Cougars after
Reed cut in front of—and intercepted—
a Barnes to Claxton Welch pass.
However, the next two steals did suffl
cient damage to the home team to make
up for State's initial failure to capital
ize.
On the last play of the first period,
Reed grabbed a pass intended for Cress
at the WSU 33 and brought the pigskin
back deep into Oregon territory at the
25. Five plays later, Cougar fullback Del
Carmichael plowed over center from a
yard out, and after the conversion, WSU
led 7-0.
Trovato—replacing the shaken Barnes
—was Reed’s last victim. A pass intended
for Lynn Hendrickson was pilfered by
the Snohomish, Wash, performer at
Oregon’s 40 and returned to the 18. The
distance remaining was shorter this time,
consequently it took only three plays for
State to score with Carmichael going the
final 10 yards on a pucnoui.
Oregon put the offense together before
the half, however, and cut the lead to
14 7 Highlighting the 80 yard drive were
a 15 yard sweep of left end by Barnes, a
BarnesJones pass for nine, and a 15
yard penalty against WSU. With 21
seconds remaining in the second quar
ter, Barnes backpeddled on fourth and
14 and hit Cress on a streak pattern in
the left corner of the end zone.
A frustratingly-scoreless third quarter
set up the desperation final period in
which the Ducks almost came back far
enough to win.
With 8:09 left in the game Cas' crew
got their drive underway at the visitors’
48 following a punt Barnes—11 for 28
and 143 yards for the day—missed on
two passes, but accomplished a first
down at the Cougar 38 on a combina
tion completed pass to Cress and fumble
recovery.
Kent Grote moved for eight more on
a draw play, and then Barnes connected
with Cress again for another 30-yard
touchdown combination. Cress extended
his arms and fingertips to the limit in
making the over the shoulder grab.
Disdaining the tie, Oregon chose to
go ahead immediately. Barnes' look-in
pass for the two point conversion was
intercepted, however, and the last-chance
series Oregon launched five minutes later
also fell short.
One interesting note: Except for the
two interceptions which resulted in
WSU’s touchdowns, the Cougars never
penetrated inside Oregon’s 30 during
the entire game.

blanking University of Portland
6-0. while second-place Oregon
State was held to a 3-3 tie by
Oregon’s Mallard team.
The visiting Pilots provided
the toughest opposition for the
Ducks this season, holding the
Oregon kickers to a 1-0 halftime
lead. Hans Niks scored the first
goal and added the final two
after John Morgan and Paul
Wormleighton put the Ducks
ahead 4-0. Morgan scored twice,
once knocking the Pilot goalie in
to the nets after the goalkeeper
had caught the ball in the goal
mouth.
Portland’s best scoring oppor

goalie Vernon Crek knocked a

In Corvallis, OSU jumped to
an early 2-0 lead before Randy
Swangard’s penalty kick and

at halftime. The Beavers again
went ahead 3-2 in the second pe
