Notable among the casualties stemming from last week are star ters Blake Whitlatch and Kent Broha. Whitlatch, a senior linebacker, had keyed the Tiger defense in early wins over Florida and Rice, as did defensive end Broha.

Inc the Ducks hosted Willamette. Last weekend Oregon com peted against three amateur dubs, splitting three games, in duding a 1-0 loss to Los Angeles Coach Smith termed that game Oregon s best of the season cess of LSU, however, was its spectacular running game, which until last week had led the nation. Junior Charles Alexander, who had led the nation in rushing with well over 160 yards per game, was stopped for 87 by the 12th-ranked Wildcats. “He took a pretty good beating last week," McLendon said. “His yardage wasn’t that bad, but he knows it’s low for him.” The Oregon running back situa tion fared no better this week, as starting fullback Vince Williams is stopped with a knee ailment. “He hasn’t practiced this week because of the bad knee,’ said Coach Rich Brooks. “We ll start Jeff Wood and he'll be backed up by Kim Nutting." Freshman tailback Donald Davis will start, but senior Dennis Bullock should see plenty of ac tion coming off of his fine showing in Los Angeles against USC. The loss of the two starters on the Tiger defense might give the Ducks a little added advantage on offense, as they proved last week they can indeed control the line of scrimmage. Of course we don’t have the advantage of knowing much about their players,” McLendon said. “But judging from what we’ve seen in their game with Southern Cal, I’d say that their line is very strong.” For the first time this year, the Ducks will at least be competing on even terms, as the average size of LSU’s line is roughly the same as Oregon’s. ‘‘They move very well,” McLendon warned. “And they give the quarterback a lot of time back there. Henderson is a real quality player and he can hurt you that way.” Louisiana State is being fa vored by upwards of 20 points, which might cause the Tigers to look to their next game with Mis sissippi. “I’ll be disappointed if they do overlook Oregon, though,” McLendon said. ‘‘Oregon will be coming down here to win a football game, and we’ve been making too many mistakes to overlook them. They re larger than we are, and physically I think that they can give you problems.” One thing Oregon and LSU have in common is the problem of getting good field position. ‘‘We have a good offense,” McLendon admitted, “but it's tough when you have to move 80 or 90 yards to score no matter who you are." “It will be tough to keep them out of the end zone," Brooks coun tered. “We ll have to improve our punting game and keep them away from the end zone.” Which, as other teams have discovered in the past, is no easy task The EMU Cultural Forum presents The Legendary Bluegrass Sound Of Ralph Stanley and the Clinch Mountain Boys featuring Curly Ray Cline on fiddle ALSO: From North Carolina: The Red Clay Ramblers Sunday, October 30 EMU Ballroom 8:00 pm Tickets on sale at the EMU Main Desk $3.75 U of O Students $5.00 General Public $2.75 Children under 12 and Senior Citizens over 65 Supported, in part, by the National Endowment for the Arts and the Seattle Folklore Society.
