Buckeyes Claim Second Half Win By J. B. BISHOP For the Emerald COLUMBUS, Ohio (Special) ■—Ohio State came alive in the second half Saturday after lead ing only 7-6 at halftime, to de feat Oregon 21-6. The afternoon was frustrating but successful for the Buck - eyes, who managed only two touchdowns from scrimmage, both big gainers rather than the usual Ohio State sustain ed drive. Oregon held on downs three times on their own 41, 27 and 18. Ohio State also had six drives killed by miscues as the Oregon defense took advantage of Buckeye errors by intercept ing four passes and recovering two fumbles. Ohio State finally took charge in the third quarter and dom inated the rest of the game, while Oregon was unable to move the ball or to make a first down in the second half. The Buckeyes ran for a TD in the third quarter and passed for a final score in the fourth quar ter. Saturday’s game, played be fore 70,191 avid Buckeye root ers, was barely under way and Ohio State had not yet had pos session of the football, when the Buckeyes scored in a sudden and disspiriting fashion. Blocked Kick Fays Off Oregon went into punt forma tion after running three quick plays and failing to pick up a first down. Oregon quarterback Alan Pit caithley tried to punt from the Webfoot 15 but defensive safe ty Mike Polaski led a rampant charge, blocked the kick, and caught the fluttering ball on the nine-yard line, then ran in to the end zone for a TD. Ohio State led 7-0 after only 1:22 had elapsed from the clock. That quick score, coupled with the first quarter ankle in jury incurred by Duck signal caller Pitcaithley, tragically han dicapped the Ducks. Oregon threatened to score twice in the first quarter, but was frustrated all afternoon by the strong de fensive effort of the Buckeyes. Late in the second quarter, Oregon’s Mike Kish intercepted an Ohio State pass on the Ducks’ 28 to give Oregon a scoring op DUCKS!

Ken Woodv’e pnnvprsinn try was wide, and Oregon trailed. 7-6. With 3:19 remaining in the third quarter, Ohio State full back Jim Otis broke through right tackle for a 35-yard touch down run, making the score 14-6. On the first play after the kickoff, Oregon fumbled and Ohio recovered on the Oregon 17. But the Ducks’ defense pres sured the Buckeyes into a field goal attempt, which was block ed by defensive back Jim Frank lin. Touchdown Pass However, the Buckeyes quick ly regained possession, and on the third play of the fourth quarter, sophomore substitute quarterback Ron Maciejowski threw a 55-yard touchdown pass to split end Bruce Jankowski to complete scoring. Until the final touchdown, Oregon had remained within striking distance of Ohio State and had several opportunities to tie the game. Claxton Welch rushed for 49 yards for Oregon and moved in to 12th place on the all-time career rushing list. Oregon head coach Jerry Frei said after the game that he was very disappointed with his ] squad’s offensive effort. “We didn’t get a first down in the second half, and that really hurt. We wanted this game very badly. “We weren’t blocking very well today. We had to have the ball and keep it away from them. Each week we have been off-cycle. Last week our offen sive effort was excellent, and today the defense did a fine job. We need to put this all together against Washington next week.” Frei also commented on the fact that the game was “very, very physical. The guys on de fense were hitting very hard.” Kent Grote, Oregon’s starting strong side linebacker, suffer ed a suspected arm fracture. Re sults of his X-rays were not known Sunday afternoon. Pitcaithley returned late in the game to quarterback and also handled all punting, but the extent of his injury is un known.
