sports Ducks meet Stanford Ducks' offense must perform to help defense By JEFF DICKERSON OltnEiMnU A quick overview of Satur day's football game between Oregon (1-8) and Stanford (2-7) might produce the feeling that the game will be a boring affair between two teams that have had identically horrible sea sons The two teams, however, cannot be compared easily Stanford, a team that boasts the likes of Darrin Nelson and John Elway, has been able to score a lot of points this year, while the Ducks have been leth argic at best on the offensive side of the ball The Cardinals are averaging 31 points per game against Pacific 10 Conference oppon ents, while Oregon has man Reggie Brown aged a mere 7 5 average in six Pac-10 games A more telling comparison might come from game scores with teams Stan ford and Oregon both have faced this year Both teams have played games against Washington, Arizona State, Arizona and UCLA Against those teams, Stanford has averaged 26 5 points per game, while the Ducks have averaged 7 points per game On the other side of the coin, however, the Ducks clearly have the advantage Against those same teams the Oregon defense has allowed 21.7 points per game, while Stanford has given up an average of 36 points per game The problem arises, however, as it has several times this sea son, when the impotent Duck offense gives its proud defense few breaks between posses sions Against a potent offense, the wear and tear of the game begins to show on the score board The reason why the Cardinals have been able to score an abundance of points this sea son lies in the prowess of Nel son and Elway At tailback, Nelson is just 78 yards away from replacing Tony Dorsett as the all-time NCAA rushing leader, and at quarter back, Elway has completed 175 of 309 passes for 2,202 yards this season If the Duck defense is to have any kind of chance at stopping the two spark plugs of the Stan ford offense, it will have to have some help on the other side of the ball by the Oregon offense DUCK NOTES - Oregon tail back Reggie Brown needs 42 yards to become the eighth ranked rusher in the history of the University Oregon’s last victory over the Cardinals was a 1979 16-7 upset in Stanford stadium Women host regionals Oregon's women's soccer squad will host the Northwest Collegiate Soccer Conterence regional tournament Saturday and Sunday at the Jefferson Jr High fields at 24th and Polk Street The Ducks, ranked fourth in the nation, will play Pacific Lutheran in the first round match The winner plays in a later game in the afternoon If they advance, Oregon will play in the semi-finals Sunday at 10 am, and in the finals at 2 p m Oregon, at 8-0-2 for the season, has already assured itself of a bid in the NCAA national tournament by winning the NCSC league title Others competing over the weekend will be Washington, Univ of Portland, Linfield, Washington State, Evergreen College, Lewis & Clark.
