After Oregon’s Saturday night embarrassment against Stan ford, these fingers were all geared up for a sad obituary for the Decimated Ducks, God rest their eight souls. I envisioned Jim Haney sitting on that bench outside the lock erroom after the Cal game, mumbling answers through in tertwined fingers. The Ducks had taken a nose dive against the Cards. The loss of four players from the 12-man squad had been more than damaging — it was demoraliz ing. Oregon played like someone had sneaked behind them and whomped them with a telephone pole. But just when Oregon’s heartbeat was at its feeblest, just when the breathing could barely fog a mirror, the prodigal Duck returned The appearance ( McKay's Open Pantry I960 Franklin Blvd. — Eugene, Oregon — OF Delicatessen OPEN 9 am to 8 pm Daily FEATURING — Broasted Chicken - by the bucket or the piece Party trays made to order Fresh home-made pizza Fresh bagels and pocket bread San Francisco style sour dough ^ bread__ 31 varieties Imported and Domestic cheese 35 varieties lunch meat and sausages Full line salad bar Hot food to go Fresh sandwiches made daily Hot or cold, Imported or Domestic foods, with old fashioned sendee — S & H Green Stamps, Too! J of Ray Whiting in the warmup period before the Cal game was like an electroshock treatment to the Mac Court fans. The vital signs jumped a notch higher when Whiting came into the game. Even though the Ducks were down at that moment, 20-12, these fingers began to sense that they would have to tap a different tune. Tuesday morning headlines started flashing through my mind. “Whiting’s last-second bucket springs Ducks.” “Ray returns, scores 30 against Bears.” But this was reality, and Whit ing showed that even Last Year’s Most Valuable Player puts on his shorts one leg at a time. “It took me a while to get my court sense,” Whiting said. That was obvious enough. His first shot attempt, a five-foot turn around jumper, caught nothing but air. That play put a lot of Mac Court fans in a saner frame of mind. They realized Whiting wasn’t The Answer To All Their Problems. He scored only four points. But more important, as Haney said, Whiting gives the Ducks a little more flexibility in their game. “It’s always happy to have your whole family together,” Haney said. Oregon’s 87-80 win over the Bears doesn’t mean they can challenge for the top of the Pac-10 heap. But they should be able to contend amongst the Also Ran-7 — everyone exclud ing Goliaths Oregon State, UCLA and Arizona State. Cal was considered the leaders of the AR-7, and despite Monday’s loss will probably remain so. With their young and towering players, the second half of the schedule will be more success ful for Cal than the first. But for Oregon, what looked Saturday night like a season of Better Luck Next Time has become a season of Maybe These Guys Can Pull It Off Before the season began, the squad expected freshman Fred Cofield to become the field commander. The 6-3 guard has done that admirably. But now the other two fresh man, David Brantley and John Cheatham, forced into playing a lot of minutes, have been leaders instead of a hindrance. And Mike Clark has shed last year’s “stone hands” label and continues to match evenly against centers much taller than he. John Greig’s improved con fidence is reflected in Oregon’s scoring column. But the big factor is the unity to which Haney alluded. “We played together,” said John Cheatham after the Cal game. “I think we re the smar test team in this league, so if we play together, we win together."
