Team lettermen are back from last season’s 4-5 team, ac cording to player-coach Rich Ken ney. “We’ll field a much better team this year with plenty of depth,” he noted. At 10:30 a.m., also on Satur day, Oregon’s water polo squad Fighting Ducks meet OSU in annual Civil War clash By STAN HORTON Emerald Sports Editor This is the big one . . . Oregon meets Oregon State Satur day for the 73rd time before a sellout crowd at Autzen Stadium. But this annual “Civil War” classic has taken on different meanings this season. It’s more than just the “season-ender.” For the Ducks there’s a chance for a win ning season—the first since 1964 and the first under Head Coach Jerry Frei. For the Beavers a victory would mean six consecutive wins over Oregon and a two game lead in the overall series. Who has the edge Saturday? It’s hard to tell. Both teams are strong defensively with the Ducks having the better passing attack and OSU the better running game. Defense has been the ‘‘name of the game” the past two Saturdays for the two Pacific-8 squads. Oregon State has held its last two opponents, California and Washington State, to a field goal apiece and has only allowed about 14 points a game the entire season. Oregon’s defense unit, anchored by Dennis Gassner and Tom Graham, has been just as good if not better. The Ducks limited high scoring UCLA to only 13 points last week end, which is quite a feat considering the seventh-ranked Bruins had been averaging 38 a contest. Passing has been the key to Oregon’s offense this season as OSU should find out. Webfoot “Super Soph” Bobby Moore and teammate Bob Newland rank one-two in the conference in pass receiving—Moore with 47 catches for 702 yards and ten touchdowns and Newland with 41 for 542 yards and two TDs. On the other end of these pass catches, most of the season, has been junior Tom Blanchard, currently the second greatest passer in Oregon history. But the Grants Pass signal-caller is not expected to start today because of a knee injury suffered against Army. His place will be taken by John Harrington, the capable senior who earned “Back of the Game” honors against UCLA. Rushing has been a stronger point then passing for Oregon State as OSU quarter back Steve Endicott, also from Grants Pass, has thrown 16 interceptions this season. Three Beaver runners have over 300 yards on the ground for the year. Hard-running fullback Dave Schilling leads the pack with 520 yards on 142 carries. Billy Main, who accumulated 634 yards as a junior, has 370 this year. Bryce Huddleston at halfback has gained 313. Oregon students do not need special tickets for admission to the 1:30 p.m. contest. Ath letic cards can be used as usual. Spouse tickets can be purchased today at the ath letic Department. faces Southern Oregon College in Leighton Pool. This will be the Ducks’ final match of the sea son. They defeated SOC 9-3 early in the season at Ashland and now own a 4-5 season mark. This afternoon at 4:15 p.m. both the men’s and women’s bowl ing squads meet Portland State on the Brunswick Lanes in the EMU. The men are 2-0 for the year after taking wins from Oregon State and Washington State last week. Ruggers schedule Beavers Saturday Immediately following Satur day’s Oregon-OSU football game at Autzen Stadium, the Duck rugby team will play Oregon State. The game will bring together Ron Guy and Terry Logan, both exciting ball runners who will combine in the center positions for the Ducks. Clark Worth, who stood out against Willamette University last week, will be in the wing three quarter position for Ore gon.
