there, " Billups said
"This is a great victory for
Coach Brooks," Billups said
"He caught all the blame for this
season, but he did all he could do
to come through this year I think
he did as good a job coaching this
year as he did last year, but he
can't go out on the field and do it
tor us "
Not that the Oregon coach
would have minded going out
there and doing the job In the 15
Civil War games he's been in,
Brooks has an amazing 14-0-1
record, including a 9-0-1 record
as a player and coach at OSU
"It (the Civil War game) is
tougher on you as a coach It's
more tense," Brooks said
Part of Brooks' success at
Oregon in this game has been his
ability to motivate his players to
win it Both teams came out with a
lot of emotion before the start of
the game, but it was Oregon that
was able to put two first-quarter
scores on the scoreboard to dic
tate the tempo of the rest of the
game
Oregon opened the game with
a 51-yard touchdown drive, with
the key play coming on second
down and 7 yards to go Brown
took the handoff on a sweep and
broke several tackles with this
powerful legwork to romp 21
yards to the OSU 2 yard line
Senior fullback Vince Williams
went the remaining distance for
the opening score with 12:18
remaining in the first quarter
Ten minutes later, the Ducks
were on the scoreboard again,
and it was Williams going over
right guard for his second touch
down of the game
It s a nice win," Williams said,
especially since this was my last
game We went out there ready to
play there was no much emotion
out on the field and the line did a
nice job of blocking "
Brooks agreed with his senior
fullback
"The real difference in this
game (from last year s 40-21 vic
tory over OSU) was our mental
preparation Last year, I didn't
think we were jacked emotionally
This year this is clearly our best
performance of the year," Brooks
said "We were able to move the
ball better than we have all season
— we controlled the line of scrim
mage "
Defensively, the Ducks gave up
238 total yards, but consistently
denied the Beavers on plays they
had been unable to stop
previously On third and 5 from
the Oregon 23, OSU had a drive
stopped and had to settle for a
field goal with time running out in
the first half when Mike Walter
sacked OSU quarterback Ed Sin
gler
"When you’ve got the ball back
and a chance to keep the
momentum, a good football team
will do it We didn't come close to
doing it," said OSU coach Joe
Avezzano ‘ We just didn't ex
ecute, and then they stopped us
They deserve the credit "
With OSU trailing by two
touchdowns at 31 -17, the Oregon
defense stopped the Beavers in a
bid to establish momentum after
OSU had scored on its previous
possession
Runners in NCAA meet today
By STEVE TURCOTTE

The NCAA Division I cross country meet this
morning at Wichita, Kansas, will make history
It will be the first time that a co-ed national cross
country meet will be run by the NCAA The University
of Oregon will be represented — by a team in the
women s race and by an individual in the men's
competition
The Oregon women s team which captured the
District 8 cross country title last week, is favored to
place in the top five — and possibly win the cham
pionship
"Virginia should be head and shoulders above
everybody else," said Oregon women's Coach Tom
Hemonen "I don't think anyone will be able to touch
them We should be able to improve upon last year s
fifth-place finish (in the AIAW nationals) and there s
a good chance at making the top three "
If anyone has a shot at knocking off Virginia, it
would have to be the Ducks
Virginia easily won the District 3 title totalling just
22 points — including tour runners in the top five
places The Ducks, meanwhile, won the District 8
title with 52 points, posting a balanced attack led by
Leann Warren
Warren, who has been the Ducks best runner all
season long and almost a certain All-American, was
a somewhat disappointment fourth in the District 8
race She will be looking to improve upon that finish
She will be contested by Virigma's Aileen O'Con
nor, who is the AIAW s 10.000-meter champ
Other top contenders for the women s crown
include Betty-Jo Springs from North Carolina State,
Joan Hansen from Arizona, Monica Joyce from San
Diego State, Stanford s Ceci Hopp and Oklahoma's
Kellie Cathy
At the District 8 meet, the Ducks had "the best
performance of the season" from the rest of their
scores Lisa Martin finished in a surprising sixth
place, Eryn Forbes in 11th, Kathy Hayes, 12th, Rosa
Guierrez in 19th to round out the the Duck scoring
Last season, competing in the AIAW nationals, the
Ducks finished in fifth place
On the men's side, this is the first time since Bill
Dellinger has been coach of the cross country team
that the Ducks have failed to send a team to nation
als
Last week at Stanford, UCLA and Arizona walked
off with top honors at the District 8 meet while the
Ducks finished third and failed to qualify for the
national meet
Senior Bill McChesney, after finishing second in
both the Northern Division and Pac-10 meet to
Washington State' Richard Tuwei, has been battling
a leg injury for the last three weeks
On paper McChesney is one of the race favorites
The lead runners should include the University of
Texas El Paso s Suleiman Nyambui and Matthews
Motshwarateu along with McChesney and a handful
of other runners
As usual. UTEP is the favorite to take the team title
If they succeed in winning, it will be their fourth
straight NCAA team title
The race schedule calls for the women's race to
begin at 9 a m today while the men are scheduled to
run at 10 a m
