Harvey to start game
against ‘hooking Horns9
By PAUL BUKER
Of The Emerald
Oregon’s embattled Ducks left
this morning for Austin and a
date with the nationally third
ranked Longhorns, sobered by
the loss of Dan Fouts yet cer
tainly not running scared.
“(Harvey) Winn will be our
starting quarterback” an
nounced coach Jerry Frei just
before the squad left for
Longhorn country. The Saturday
inter-sectional will be piped
closed-circuit into Mac Court live
and in color starting at 2 p.m.
For a man about to enter one of
the real snake-pits of collegiate
football, Frei was exceedingly
calm. “No, we really didn’t have
to adjust our offense much for
Harvey” said Frei in answer to a
question. “He (Winn) did run the
team well in that second half
against Stanford—and his
execution of our sprint-out play
action pass is just as good or
better than Dan’s.”
Frei’s announcement ended a
week of speculation as to whether
Winn or untried Sophomore Norv
Turner would get the Saturday
call. But there really wasn’t
much doubt. Winn’s game ex
perience dictated the move, and
he's certainly the most hard
nosed 5-8 quarterback Oregon’s
ever had.
Besides, you just can’t stick an
untried sophomore down on
Austin’s Astro Turf, plug his ears
so he can’t hear 70,000 Orange
maniacs yelling “hook ’em
Horns” and sit back to see what
happens. Or can you?
Sometimes sophomores do
strange and wonderful things.
Like Fouts against California
when Tom Blanchard was hurt—
and his subsequent performance^
against USC and Air Force."
Everybody remembers what
happened when a little-used
quarterback came off the bench
to beat the Ducks in Seattle. And
what about Jim Kilmartin and
what he did for Oregon State?
The importance and magnitude
of playing the Longhorns would
indicate going with experience,
however. And believe it or not,
Winn will be able to look over
somebody’s shoulders Satur
day—at least if he ran across the
sidelines and stood toe-and-toe
with Texas’ Donny Wigginton he
could.

for the Longhorns at press time,
it looked like Wigginton would
get the call. He’s 5-7 and 167
pounds, just a little wisp of a guy
compared to Harvey’s 5-8 and
burly 180. Wigginton played the
entire game against Texas Tech
last week and the Homs romped,
28-0.
Except for Fouts and injured
safety Bobby Green, the Ducks’
offensive and defensive lineups
will be the same. Joining Winn in
the backfield is fullback Jim
Anderson and tailback Bobby
Moore. Harvey will be pitching to
Leland Glass, Chuck Bradley and
Greg Specht.
Bobby, of course, is the Pac-8’s
leading grounder. He’s darted
and dodged for 452 yards, a cool
150.7 per game average. Glass,
after a solid performance against
Stanford, held his league lead in
receptions with 20 for every 207
yards. The Ducks’ big guns pose
some big problems to Darrell
Royal.
Somewhat unsettling was the
fact that Oregon ranked last in
just about every defensive
category, but there was no
wholesale defensive shake-up in
the offing for the Texas game.
“What can you do?” asked Frei.
“Basically we stopped Stanford’s
option pretty effectively, but of
course nobody runs it like
Texas.”
Unbeaten in 30 straight
regular-season games, the
Longhorns do more than just run
wild. Every once in a while their
offense goes run, run, run, pass.
Or maybe even something like
pass, run, run, run. It’s con
fusing. “Texas is not a passing
team” remarked Frei. “But they
do like to throw the long ball once
in a while—and many times
they’ll do it on the first down.
Against UCLA I think they threw
it once and that was a touch
down.”
Frei was asked if the
Longhorns might go to the air
more after watching Don Bunce
pass the Ducks’ silly with his long
stuff. He smiled. “No. they’re a
running team—that’s their
strength—and I don’t think they
would go away from that. They'll
just keep coming at us with the
option and we’ve got to stop it.”
The Ducks, like Frei said, did
look effective at times last week.
But Stanford turned around and
broke the big pass play when the
ground game stalled. With Texas,
the threat of the bomb is there—
but Wigginton is no Bunce as a
passer and the Longhorn
receivers traditionally are
nothing like a Miles Moore. The
Longhorns don’t have a Cotton
Speyrer this year.
The key to the game, then, is
obvious. Stop the wishbone, force
the Longhorns into an air game
they really don’t like, and hope
like hell the offense can squeeze
some points out of a swarming
Texas defense.
