NFL games
(AP) — The New Orleans
Saints and New York Giants, the
biggest doormats in the
National Football League last
season, and the Chicago Bears,
who have been manhandled
regularly this year all were
headed in the right direction
Sunday
Rookie running back George
Rogers broke a scoreless tie
with a 19-yard, third quarter
touchdown burst to ignite the
Saints, 1-15 last year, to a 17-7
upset victory over the Cincinnati
Bengals, the first-place team in
the American Conference
Central Division
The Giants, whose 4-12
record gave them the No 2 pick
in the draft after the Saints
picked Rogers, got a 40-yard
field goal from Joe Danelo with
5 40 to go in overtime to beat the
Atlanta Falcons 27-24
And John Reveto's 26-yard
field goal with 5:30 left in over
time lifted the Bears to a 20-17
victory over the San Diego
Chargers, snapping Chicago's
four-game losing streak
Gary Fencik's interception of
a Dan Fouts pass set up Chica
go's winning score The Bears
moved the ball from the 27 to the
San Diego 9-yard line before
Reveto s winning kick
Danelo s field goal came after
Brad Van Pelt fell on a William
Andrews fumble at the Atlanta
31 The victory in the rainy,
45-degree weather was the third
in a row for the Giants, now 5-3,
who trailed 17-7 in the third
quarter
Rogers, the 1980 Heisman
Trophy winner, carried 31 times
for 113 yards, his third straight
100-yard rushing game and fifth
of the season for the Saints
Benny Ricardo added a
38-yard field goal and Archie
Manning hit reserve running

19-yard scoring toss for New
Orleans in the fourth quarter to
make the score 17-0

Netters drop match to Huskies, but beat Cougars
By MIKE RIPLINGER
Of tha Emerald
The Oregon volleyball team
put together some of its best ball
of the season, showing some of
the promise that has been
hidden all year when they split
with the University of Washing
ton and Washington State this
weekend
The Ducks lost a
heartbreaking fifth game to the
Huskies in Seattle, falling 14-16,
15-13, 16-18, 16-14 and 14-16
They came back Saturday to
trounce hapless Washington
State 15-6, 16-14, 10-15 and
15-1 in MacArthur Court
The loss to the Washington
was especially hard on the
Ducks because they were down
2-8 in the final game, only to
come back and score 12
straight points But the
15th-ranked Huskies showed
the class that it takes to finish
10th nationally last year, and
went on seven point scoring
spree to drop the Ducks to
9-22-2 for the season
"The Washington match was
really a tough one to lose,'1 said
coach Chris Voelz “We could
have quit when we were down,
but we came back strong We
just couldn't get that last point.’’
"We played well, though That
was the closest we’ve come to
beating them in four years It
was such a fierce struggle, with
every game decided by two
points.”
"This was a super win tor us
We have played well in both
matches I wondered if we could
maintain a high level of play
after the Washington letdown,
but it looks like we didn't have
any problem, especially after
letting them score only one
point in the final game," Voelz
said
The Ducks' defensive play
was outstanding in both
matches They contained a high
powered Washington attack to
keep themselves in the match,
and they buried an outclassed
WSU squad Oregon thoroughly
destroyed the Cougars at the
net with 31-9 blocking edge
"Cathy Hill and Karen Beamer
were decisive for us at the net,"
she said Hill led the Duck
charge with a 250 hitting
average, 13 kills and eight
blocks. Beamer added nine
blocks and a 281 average to the
Oregon cause
