OSU Blasts Ducks, 20-15 By PAUL POLSKY Emerald Associate Sports Editor ' CORVALLIS (Special) — The Oregon State Beavers, led by a record-setting, pile-driving full back and field general Paul Brothers, defeated the Oregon Ducks 20-15. in the annual season's finale for the two Oregon schools at Parker Stadium Saturday Pete Pifer and Brothers, along with accomplice Bobby Grim, ran. passed, and pushed a slippery pigskin all over the rain-soaked field, always out muscleing the Ducks at the critical moments. Pifer set a new PAC record with his second consecutive 1.000 yard seasonal rushing output. He is the only athlete to make this vaunted mark twice in a varsity career. Pete’s total of 130 yards for the game gave him a season's mark of 1.088 yards to go with last full's total of 1.095. However. Pistol Pete had a lot of company on the ground as he. Brothers and Grim accounted for 298 yards of the 305 yards totaled by the Beavers. And had it not been for a last second 101-yard return of a fumble by Jimmy Smith with an assist from Harry Cartales who grabbed the loose ball in the end zone, ran to the five and lateraled to Smith, the Ducks would have been even more humiliated. The Beavers received the opening kick-off. The Ducks held on downs, but Oregon was also un successful in three running plays and punted to OSU on the Duck 40. After the punt it took the Beavers only eight plays to get their initial tally, a 29-yard field goal by Mike Haggard. Pifer carried twice to start the drive, putting the ball on the Duck 24 with two smashes over the left side of the Oregon defensive line. Bob Grim carried for four more up the middle. Brothers then kept for three before Belcher tried to go wide and was stopped for a three y if a toss. Following an incomplete pass intended for Roger Cantlon. the OSU left end. Brothers went for eight on a third and 13 play. With the ball on the Oregon 12 and fourth down. Haggard was sent in and kicked his. first field goal of the afternoon—a 29-yarder— with 6:11 left to go in the first quarter. The Ducks took the kick-off and started to move the football with quarterback Barnes get ting two over left tackle, Scott Cress blasting through a hole at right tackle, swinging outside and then going for 22 yards to the Beaver 38. However, two plays later tackle Ron Boley of the Beavers hit Barnes who had no one to throw to for an 11-yard loss and then Barnes threw in complete on third down forcing the Ducks to punt again. Then the Ducks got burned on the "Duck Spe cial" a play put in by Dee Andros, the OSU coach, ‘'especially for this game." With the count third-and-three at the 50, Grim took the reverse handoff from Belcher and swept wide left, hurdling Ducks in his path, to get 18 yards and a first down on the Oregon 32. Brothers then found Grim wide open for a nine yard pitch to the 23. which preceded a two yard smash by Dummers. Pifer carried to the 17 for a four-yard gain before taking the handoff on the next play and crashing, twisting, and churning his way into the Duck end zone for the score. Haggard’s .point after was good and the Beavers hdd a 10-0 margin. On the ensuing kick-off Schuler returned for the Ducks to the 16. Jones got two over right tackle before Arlan Eltns was hit at the eight, fumbled and Dennis Rozario recovered for the Beavers at the Duck 14. Pifer got six to the Duck eight and OSU called time, with 3:50 to go in the half. Pifer's next attempt was thwarted as he fum bled right back to the Ducks at the five with Harry Cartales getting the loose ball. Jones got three in two carries before Cress was unable to get the first down at the 11. Sover eign's punt went to the Oregon 37, where Waletich called for the fair catch, missed and Cress re covered for Oregon. The good fortune was short lived. Brundage's first toss was grabbed by Scott Eaton of the Beavers at the Beaver 47. Brothers kept for 20 down the right sidelines to the Oregon 33. On first and 10. he found Harry Gunner wide open for a 14-yard completion and a first down at the UO 19. Pifer got two on a wide sweep after Brothors’ pass was caught by Gunner just out of bounds inside the 15. A third down pass was knocked down by a charging Oregon lineman at the 17. On fourth down Haggard's toe was perfect from the 26 for a 36-yard field goal with just :29 seconds remaining. And at the half the Ducks were down 13-0 The third quarter was scoreless but late in that stanza the Ducks got a good break when Les Palm intercepted a Brothers pass at the OSU 35 and returned it to the 31. In six plays the Ducks were on the scoreboard. Brundage missed Bunker with a pass on first down but Cress got six off tackle to the 25 before Jones got the rest for a first down on the 20 with a five yard gain. Barnes men missed Bunner wan an under thrown pass and Cress got a yard to the 19. Brundage came back in and lost six to the 25 where the Ducks had a fourth-and-15 call as time ran out in the period. On the first play of the last quarter the Ducks scored as Brundage found Cress behind his de fender for a 25-vard scoring toss.
