Ducks return to earth
By Doug Levy
CM the tmerald
"Final from Tucson: Oregon 19, Arizona 10."
The announcement on the McArthur Court
athletic ticket scoreboard said it all after Oregon's
football team shocked No. 9 Arizona a week ago.
The scoreboard message was only the beginning
of one of the wildest weeks in Oregon athletic
history.
Oregon had beaten Cai and Arizona successively
to go 2-0 in Pac-10 play, and apparently that was
enough to convince 44,303 fans the Ducks were on
their way to a Rose Bowl.
Coach Rich Brooks issued the disclaimer, "we're
not good enough for any of this Rose Bowl talk."
Nobody listened to him.
All week before Oregon played Washington, the
Eugene campus was at a feverish pitch. Tickets for
Oregon-Washington became more precious than
rubber supplies during World War II. Incredibly
enough, Oregon's athletic department sold 1,000
standing-room-only tickets for Saturday's game after
it was announced that local television station KEZI
would air the contest.
Whether Rose Bowl talk affected them or not, the
Ducks were outrun, outpassed, outdefensed and
outplayed by a solid Washington team.
During the week, Brooks called the Huskies "a
typical Washington team." If typical means a team
that runs and passes with equal effectiveness, stops
anything an offense tries, and doesn't turn the ball
over, then Washington was typical Saturday.
"They're good — probably about the same as
Arizona," said receiver Lew Barnes.
Against Oregon, the Huskies were nearly perfect.
"The best thing our offense did today was not turn it
over," said Washington coach Don James.
The Ducks turned the ball over three times and
rarely threatened Washington's goal line. In short,
Washington owned Oregon Saturday.
Saturday at Autzen Stadium, the king of the Rose
Bowl court, Washington, brought Oregon back to
earth with a 32-3 shellacking of Brooks' troops.
"Maybe all this hoopla did affect us," said
Oregon running back Kevin Willhite, himself the
subject of much pre-season hoopla.

tory hopes. Cary Zimmerman, Greg Schwab and

safety Doug Judge watched the proceedings, while
Jeff Williams, Mike Jorgensen, Terry Youngblood,
Don Brown, and another offensive lineman, Ken
Warner, were hurt during the game.
But the Ducks refuse to die. "We can rebound.
We'll go to Pullman and rebound," said Kevin
Willhite.
Meanwhile, Oregon must be content with just
being a football team again.
