I Homecoming tradition prevails
By Mike Sims
Of the Emerald
Despite a de-emphasis on Homecoming at
many colleges and universities, the basics of the
century-old tradition remain intact wherever
Homecoming festivities are held annually. And at
many schools, the traditional Homecoming foot
ball game continues to be a high point of the
week.
For many fans, the Homecoming contest is
just another football game — bota bag
encumbered students who trek across the foot
bridge for each home game and season-ticket
holders with no University ties save an affinity for
Duck sports.
But for those alums who make the annual
Homecoming pilgrimage from Los Angeles or
Lake Oswego, Baker or Bonn, the once-a-year
look at the gridders of “Mighty Oregon” is a uni
que experience.
And there have been many memorable Duck
Homecoming games. The 1933 contest against
Oregon State, played in Portland on Armistice
Day. when “Prink” Callison’s 'team defeated
OSC’s fabled “Ironmen” 13-3. Thirty years later,
the Ducks ended the “Homecoming That
Wasn’t” by clobbering the Beavers 31-14 in a
game that had been postponed after the assassina
tion of President John F. Kennedy.
Some old-timers may recall the 9-0 win over
the Beavers in 1919, capping a Homecoming
weekend that saw the dedication of Hayward
Field. Many of them also were present for the
1966 Homecoming game, when Washington State
defeated the Ducks 14-13 in the last game played
on Hayward Field.
Some of them were present the following
year for the first Autzen Stadium Homecoming,
when the Ducks threw a scare at eighth-ranked
OSU.

‘‘We haven’t had that
dominating player on defense
like we had in (Keith) Millard
last year.”
Both team's had problems
with their kicking games last
week. Oregon had one punt
blocked and another returned
for a touchdown.-WSlHiad two
punts blocked — one for a
touchdown and another that set
up a later score.
“They have had some kicking
game problems like us,” Brooks,
says. "It has made the defense
• look worse than it is.”
Walden has been working on
the Cougars' weakness in prac
tice this week.
"We have been spending a lot
of time on the kicking game,”
he says. “If we don't get that
straightened out, it will be a
big-scoring football game, it
*. seems like we are giving two
touchdowns a week in our own
kicking game.”
Walden doesn't want WSU to
fall behind Oregon early. "I just
don’t want to be 28 points
behind with, fifteen minutes to
play,” he said after the Stanford
cliffhanger. “It has been kind of
excruciating the past couple of
weeks.”
