releasing a pass against UCLA last Saturday. The Portland senior,
who will probably start against OSU Saturday, completed 16 of
38 passes last week to earn "Back of the Game" honors.

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.
