*... We're gonna fight.. / Webfoot coach offers no alibis BILL BRAUNER Duck safety on crutches By STAN HORTON Emerald Sports Editor Oregon Head Football Coach Jerry Frei is not a man that backs down in the face of enormous pressure. After his club lost to Air Force 60 13 on Saturday, Frei might have been ex pected to come up with the usual “coach’s alibis” at Monday’s Oregon Club meeting. But the Wisconsin grad offered no ex cuses. He was blunt and direct. “If I’m not satisfied with the comeback of this football team, you aren’t going to have to call Cas (Webfoot Athletic Di rector Len Casanova) to tell him to get my fanny out of there . . .” Frei went on: “I’m a tough guy and I’m a hard worker. There’s nothing you can do to make me work any harder. WE’RE GONNA FIGHT “I love the University. . . . Maybe we don’t have all the talent but we have the people. We are gonna fight. We are gonna stay in there . . .” The earlier portion of Frei’s talk cen tered around Oregon’s play against Air Force. “It was a nightmare,” he grimly stated. “We thought we’d made an excellent game plan. We’re gonna pass . . . We’re gonna run. The game plan worked beautifully until the third play (when Oregon fum bled). “All of a sudden we were behind. Air Force controlled us with their defense. I don’t have to tell you what happened when we were forced to run. BRAUNER INJURED “You’re no more unhappy than I am. We’re not playing as well as I’d like to see us play.” Frei noted that Duck safety Bill Braun ner is on crutches after having a knee go out during Saturday’s game. Brauner had missed Oregon’s first four contests because of a broken finger. Following Frei’s talk, the program was turned over to Duck Offensive Coach John Robinson who explained, through a se ries of diagrams, the plan Oregon had hoped to use against the Falcons. But before Robinson started to scribble on the blackboard, he had a few words of his own. “I’m darn proud of the man I work for,” he stated. “I chose to be here. One of the great things about being in this po sition—either you do it or you don’t. BE A DUCK In reference to Saturday’s game with Washington, “Robby” remarked, “We’re going swinging ... so stay at arm’s length. Be a Duck. Be from Oregon. There is no other way you can be. Be with us or against us.” ueiore KODinson snowea me game films, which were just a blur because of the fog, John Reid, Washington’s Sports Information Director, had a few words about the winless Huskies. His opening comment drew a laugh from the large crowd. “You think you have it tough in Eu gene . . Reid added: “We’re pretty well deci mated by injuries. Off our projected start ing lineup before the season opened, we’ve lost 12 plays—half of those for the sea son.” OSU WON IT In regards to last Saturday’s game with Oregon State, which OSU won on a last second pass play, Reid simply said, “Wash ington didn’t lose it, Oregon State won it. “Only one play could have won the ball game and they had it. It was a tre mendously crushing blow for our kids.” Reid commented on Washington’s 0-5 record. “We just couldn’t get untracked early in the first four games. This is the first time in history we’ve lost the first five games of the season. “We’re now pulling for a win against Oregon,” he added as a final note. You can bet Oregon will also be look ing for a victory. The Ducks deserve to win. -Webfeats Big AJ here By JOHN ANDERSON Of the Emerald ROWAN AND MARTIN’S Laugh-In is now a few weeks into its second season as one of television’s most successful series in years. With the advent of the second season, one of Laugh-In’s regu lars, Alan Sues, has branched out—he has added the chores of being a kiddy show hero (Uncle Al, the kiddies’ pal) to his reper toire. Sues, of course is better known to us sports lovers as “Big Al,” that rolly-eyed, tinkle-loving idiot who lives his farout observations on sports (?) happenings during the weekly Laugh-In “news broad cast.” He will always be the same to us. But, Al’s little shows have been getting slightly dull lately and may need some new material. So, with apologies to NBC, Dan Rowan, Dick Martin and, of course, Alan Sues, the Oregon Daily Emerald presents its own “Big Al” Sues—namely “Big John” (definitely) sued (maybe). * * * HI THERE, EVERYONE! Big John here! (In the background, a large gong sounds.) Oh, how I love that gong! The sound is so much more mellow than that puny little tinkle that I used to like to hear. That seemed so wishy-washy! (Gong!) Featurette! (Gong!) I just got back from Colorado Springs, Colo., where I saw a flock of water birds get lost in a dense fog and get buzz-bombed by the Air Force! * * * WOW! THOSE BIRDS fumbled seven times! And don’t tell any body, but on three of those fumbles, I saw those nasty military boys actually KNOCKING THE BIRDS DOWN and taking the ball away! Gee, wilikers! I guess they never did entirely eliminate that cheating scandal at the Academy a few years ago. ’Cause those boys sure were mean and everything. Imagine! Sixty points! And not only that, but I understand those poor birds are expect ing a confrontation with the Army in less than three weeks! When I think of that, I get goose pimples all over. Just imagine! There probably won’t be anything left but eider down and lots of bills! • • * NOT QUITE, EH? Well, let’s try again. (Gong!) ' Featurette! (Gong!) A friend of mine just spent a week on the East Coast in Balti more and New York, and do you know what he saw? Wow! You may not believe this, but he saw another flock of birds being stoned to death in the nation's largest city—and right in front of over 50,000 people who were all screaming for more blood! Hon estly! Can’t they think of a better way to make a living? ♦ * * ONE OF MY connections told me that those birds must have been stoned—that’s the only logical explanation for getting beaten by the New York Mets. I have it on good authority, in fact, that the Mets drugged the drinking water in the opposing teams’ dugouts before every regular season National League game this year. Some of the teams they played were very Brave about the whole thing, but still got beat. (Gong!) Well, that’s it for now, sports fans. Big John says goodbye until next week! (Gong!) Oh, I just love that gong) * • • Enough? I agree.
