Henderson to start No-name Huskies to provide stiff challenge The Ducks will have these two Huskies to worry about when Oregon visits Washington Saturday. Quarterback Warren Moon (19) has thrown for 675 yards, and fullback Robin Earl (99) has rushed for 503. Reds take series in 4 NEW YORK (AP) — Don't worry about baseball interfering with the presidential debate. The Cincinnati Reds took care of that political problem Thursday night, ending the 1976 World Series in the minimum tour games with a 7-2 romp over the New York Yankees. Johnny Bench, the Reds star catcher, hit two home runs that drove in five runs. After Bench and his buddies were done, the Reds had repeated as world champions — the first National League team to do so since the New York Giants of 1921-22. When the phone rang in the happy Reds dressing room, it was the White House calling. Cincinnati Manager Sparky Anderson related his conversation with President Gerald Ford "The President said he hasn't seen a team with our excellence in recent World Senes," reported Anderson. "He said it was a pleasure to watch the Reds' precision." It’s the road for other Duck teams Several Oregon teams will hit the road this weekend for as sorted competition. In women's action, the vol leyball team will travel to Pullman, Wash., for the WSU Invitational, while the J V's are at the Lewis and Clark Invitational in Portland.

Northwest Wine & Cheese 767 Willamette 2nd Floor Smcede Hotel 343-0556 BY JOHN HENDERSON Of the Emerald The Oregon fight song blared out of the Autzen Stadium loudspeaker as Oregon football coach Don Read dressed in the locker room before practice. The sounds of “Mighty Oregon" may not have dropped players and coaches to their knees, but it did provide a nice backdrop for Read to discuss the Oregon Washington game in Seattle Saturday. "This rivalry is very close to Oregon and Oregon State,” said Read. “In fact, it’s bigger because it overlaps states. It stretches back when they used to play in Portland every year in the 50s. Back then, festivities used to last a week.” The emergence of Autzen in 1967 and the pro football Seattle Seahawks this year has somewhat diminished the rivalry. The Huskies have suddenly found themselves with an identity problem as Read calls them, "The most underrated team in the confer ence." Only a football groupie would know that Washington is leading the Pacific 8 in team defense with an average of 280.8 yards a game. Nor would many people know that the Huskies have running backs Robin Earl and Ron Rowland in the top five in the conference. “It'll be tough," said Read. “They can do so many things. The key is to make them go 70 to 80 yards so they'll have more chances of making a turnover.” And the Huskies have made their share. In Stanford’s 34-28 win over Washington last weekend, every Cardinal score came off a Washing ton turnover or a pass of more than 30 yards. It dropped Washington’s record to 3-3 with wins over Virginia, Minnesota and Oregon State, and addi tional losses to Colorado and Indiana. "We’ve been awfully inconsistent,” said Husky Coach Don James. “We play a quarter well, then get hit by penalties and fumbles. It's okay when the de fense stops you, but when you stop yourself it gets pretty tough.” The Oregon defense, which ranks fourth in the conference, will still be facing its stiffest challenge of the year in Washington’s ground attack. Earl (6-5, 250) is fifth in the Pac-8 with 503 yards, and tailback Rowland (6-2, 195) is third with 592. The Huskies also have good depth with fresh man Joe Steele (6-4,195) backing up Rowland with 258 yards. In comparison, Oregon's leading rusher is George Bennett with 242. Quarterback Warren Moon has provided bal ance with 675 yards passing. ^ emerald sports That offense is able to dominate people like Minnesota,” said Read. “Their offense is given a lot of time because their kicking game is super. Oregon State tried seven punts, but could only get off four.” The defense is the Huskies’ pride and joy. Linebacker Mike Baldassin (6-1, 224) already has 101 tackles, and senior middle guard Charles Jack son (6-2, 227) has 76. “Most of their defense is new people, but you can't be tooled by new people," said Read. “They’re extremely talented. They completely stopped Stanford’s running game.” But Stanford gained 192 yards on six of its pass completions to give Washington’s young secondary its first big lesson. Comerbacks Nesby Glasgow and Greg Brooks are the only players returning from last year with any playing experience. Jack Henderson will get a chance to pick Oregon’s offense out of its doldrums as he’s won the starting quarterback job over sophomore Rick Washut. "We think we re in a good situation,” said Read. “If Jack starts and we don’t think he’s getting the job done, we re not afraid to put in Washut after what happened last week.” Game time is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. with Mike Stone broadcasting the game live for KUGN. OISA kickers to face LCC Saturday Oregon’s entry in the Oregon Intercollegiate Soccer Associa tion (OISA) will try to improve its record to 2-1 when it takes on Lane Community College, Satur day at Lane. The match, says coach Ken Manning, should be an exciting one. "Lane has a quick run offense,” said Manning. "They have two guys that are very speedy on the forward line. They kick the ball long and these guys will try to out run the defense.” Manning, the first year coach of the Oregon club, sees the key to beating Lane in his defense’s abil ity to stop the Titan’s "long ball offense.” “It's easy to combat," said the coach, explaining that these two men must be marked very closely in order to prevent a quick score. “We re working on some specific things to stop them,” he added. If the match breaks out into an offensive showdown, Oregon should be able to hold its own. Manning has been experimenting with Ns own brand of the long ball offense, and plans to have his team use it against what he calls a "weak” LCC defense. Tom Krist, Oregon's center forward, should play an important role in Manning’s offense. Krist leads the team in goals scored, and Manning plans on working much of the offense around him. “Tom is one of the lads that works hardest for me,” he said. Manning’s 15 man squad is es sentially a junior varsity team. They all tried out for the Northwest Collegiate Soccer Conference dub coached by Mike Davis, but failed to make his final 15 player cut. The original squad Manning chose has changed slightly be cause of injuries and illness, but he has managed to put together a team that has registered a 3-1 win over Western Baptist, and a 5-1 loss to Southern Oregon College. The OISA team has two home matches scheduled for Oct. 30 against Linfield College, and Nov. 7 against Oregon College of Edu cation. Autzen to host weekend f-hockey Oregon's field hockey team, fresh from a 2-0 blanking of OSU in Corvallis Wednesday, will host Southern Oregon State College in a 9 a.m. Saturday match at Au tzen.
