Sun Devil Passes Doom Oregon, 14-10 By DAVE BARONTI Emrrald Sports Editor TEMPE. Arizona (Special) — “We shouldn't have lost that," mumbled an Oregon player, wind ing his way through a crowd of children outside Arizona State's Sun Devil Stadium late Saturday night. He and the rest of the team were groping for reasons the Ducks—nine point favorites — ’tost 14-10 to ASU in a football game they all thought they could ■•have won. Any outstanding explanation for the loss was not to be had, but passes from sophomore quar terback Dewey Forrister to end Rick Shaw were obvious factors. The aerials set up both ASU touchdowns and the 14-3 third quarter lead which a late Oregon . rally was unable to overcome. For Arizona State, the win marked their 12th consecutive homecoming victory since the string started in 1953. But for Oregon, it insured a second con secutive losing season — the first time that has occurred in 16 years. Even a win next week against arch-rival Oregon State would only mean a 4-6 season for the Webfoots. The prelude to the first Ari zona State score was a first quar ter first-and-10 situation on the ASU 29. That was when Shaw un loaded a bomb down the right sideline to Forrister who traveled 42 yards to the Oregon 29 before being stopped. Six plays later—after another Shaw to Forrister pass took the ball from the 20 to the 3—half back Travis Williams slid through •right guard for the score and a 60 lead. Tackle Bob Rikita converted.

But even then, after driving from their own 31 to get into position, the Ducks needed an ASU fumble to get a chance at the placement. With the ball third-and-nine on the ASU 21, defensive end John , Pitts intercepted a pass in a tug of-war with Oregon receiver Steve j Bunker for the ball. However, three plays later. Duck linebacker Harry Cartales got an interception of his own. and the Oregonians were in busi ness on the Sun Devil 15. Three running plays netted only seven yards, and on a fourth-and-three situation on the eight. Cunning ham came in for his kick. Arizona State hiked its lead to 14-3 in the third quarter thanks to another Shaw-to-Forrister pass This one came with the count third and three on the ASUO 45. The right sideline toss was good for 34 yards, and a first down on the Duck 11. Halfback Max Anderson, a 9.3 sprinter, dashed through the cen ter of the line for 10 yards on the next play, and scored from a yard out the next. Oregon came back in the same quarter after Oregon defensive end Hat Helfrich recovered half back Jim Bramlct's fumble on the ASU 7. Two rushes by full back Steve Jones, and a conver sion by Mike Brundage cut the score to 14-10. The Ducks had several oppor tunities to threaten in the final quarter—but couldn't capitalize. With less than four minutes left, ASU was seemingly forced into a punting situation when it was fourth and one on its own 38. However, after receiving the long snap, punter Kenny Horn beck hesitated and — when he didn't see any hut one Webfoot near—ran the ball 11 yards for a first down on the 50. The ensuing four Sun Devil downs accounted for another two minutes of time, and when the Ducks got the ball after a short ASU field goal attempt, they had to go 80 yards in two minutes if: they were to win.

Then Brundage came in and moved the Ducks 20 more yards before four straight incomplete passes shut the curtains on any Duck hopes. Oregon explanations for the de feat were many and varied. Casanova pointed to a couple when he said, "we didn't block well at all. And our tackling was just as bad.” Tim Temple pointed to another when he observed that "a couple of their passes really killed us "We could contain their run ning game at the critical stages,” he said. "We gambled a few times and lost," explained defensive back Jim Smith. "It’s just one of those things—you have to gamble If you want to win. And even when we called the monster blitz, leav ing an extra receiver to cover, Tim Temple did an excellent job covering. He almost intercepted that first pass to Forrister.” "It wasn't because we weren't up," said nose guard George Dames. "I know 1 was; I think the rest of the team was. too.” As could be expected, in a nearby dressing room, different views of the game came out. "That Shaw was great much bet ter than in the limited action he saw against Washington State,” ASU coach Frank Kush bubbled. "He and Anderson played by far and away their best games of the year. "For that matter, we all played our best game of the year. Defi nitely. We were sky high. "As for Oregon, they're a fine team—as fine a one as we've met this season That'll be a great game up in Corvallis next week.” Kush played the Beavers three weeks ago and lost, 19-18.
