Ducks learn hard lesson from Kaon, Bears

Golden Bear Coach Joe Kapp
proclaimed last Saturday “Bear
Day" with his usual ex*
uberance, wit and charm to the
throng of reporters after Cal’s
27-24 victory over Oregon at
Autzen Stadium.
Kapp, known more for his off
the-wall comments and fiery
style than for his coaching abili
ty, was giving the usual post
congratulatory comments about
the Ducks, when he wiped a
streak of blood from his mouth,
smiled and said, "they (Oregon)
are a good football team, but it
was a Bear day, a Bear morning
and it will be a Bear night.”
In the aftermath of Oregon's
loss to Cal, the Duck football
team learned a little about the
Bears' traditional “never say
die" attitude that Kapp has in
stalled into his football team.
Part of the "Bear never dy
ing” folklore came In 1982
when Cal returned a kickoff for
a touchdown on the last play
against Stanford University.
The vision of Cal's Kevin Moen
running over the Stanford tuba
player is a vivid reminder of
Kapp's go-for-broke coaching
style. The Bears won 26-20 with
"The Play,” and Kapp quipped
to the media * ‘The Bear does not
die.”
Down 21-0 early in the first
quarter, the Ducks looked like
they had Kapp and his Cal team
trapped. But this sleepy Bear
team awoke from their hiberna
tion on a foggy, rain-bitten day
at Autzen with all the force of a
Grizzly. Cal. 1-4 in the Pac-10,
erased Oregon’s lead and its
chances for a trip to the Rose
Bowl with the come-from
behind win. The loss dropped
the Ducks to 2*2 in league and
2-4 overall.
“It was the finest win we
have ever had this week,” Kapp

said of his team's rally. The
former Minnesota Vikings'
quarterback had seen his team
rebound like this before; Satur
day’s performance will add
another chapter to great com
ebacks in Cal football history.
Backup Cal quarterback Brian
Bedford said the victory was a
"big plus” in his confidence to
be the starter in Kapp's con
troversial two-quarterback of
fense. Kapp pulled starter Kevin
Brown after the Bears' offense
sputtered, and the Ducks put 21
points on the scoreboard in the
first nine minutes of the game.
"I’m going to enjoy this one a
lot." Bedford said. "I really
felt. . .to be honest. , .we were
going to do something when 1
scrambled in for that second
touchdown."
Bedford’s second touchdown,
a 10-yard scamper, brought Cal
hack into the game at 21-18 with
14:57 left in the fourth quarter.
The sophomore quarterback
was given a big boost at
halftime when Kapp told him
he would still be the starter for
the third quarter. Bedford
responded with two touchdown
runs, and a crucial option pitch
to Tyrone Moore for the game
winning score.
On the play. Bedford slipped
momentarily and looked to be
going down in the Bear
backfield. but he maintained hi*
balance to pitch to Moore who
bulled in from 12 yards to give
Cal the lead at 25-24 with 7:22
left in the game.
When everything is going
your way, the little things seem
to matter the most.
For instance. Oregon’s Lew
Barnes had two possible
touchdowns go for naught. The
first one had Barnes heading for
the comer of the end zone for
six. The ball pops out from
Barnes near the goal line and
rolls outs of the end zone.
Touchback Cal.
The other break for Cal was
when Barnes was ruled out-of
bounds on a touchdown catch
in the fourth quarter. Oregon
had to settle for a Matt MacLeod
field goal. Ine little things kept
Cal clinging to hope, while the
Ducks saw their lead dwindle.
Add a little about what
Oregon coach Rich Brooks said
about Cal not being a factor in
the Pacific 10 Conference foot
ball race and the Bear was
definitely on the prowl with a
wounded look.
’’Nobody likes being in
sulted, ** Cal fullback Gary
Barbero said about Brooks'
preseason communis. “We're a
good football team. We showed
them that we could beat
people."
Cal offensive guard Ron
Zenker and his teammates wore
inspired by Brooks* verbal
assessment of the Cal team
"It was on my mind about
what Coach Brooks said about
us not being able to beat
anybody and not being able to
compete." Zenker said. "It was
in people's minds."
The talk was all the inspira
tion Kapp needed to motivate
his team as Cal wide receiver
Keith Cockett felt the win was a
“big one."
"We don't really plan things
like this (down 21*0), but it |ust
happens." he said;
Kapp. who quarterbacked a
Rose Bowl. Grey Cup and Super
Bowl team, felt all along that
Cal would triumph - despite "
his team's early showing.
"I think the Bears were going
to win today no matter what," •
he said. “It was kind hard with
Ducks getting that far ahead.”.
Twenty-one points is not too
hard for Kapp's never-say-die
Bears to overcome. '

Forensics
October at Western Washington
University.
But because new articles are
always being published on the
subject, debaters continue to
research and formulate pro and
con arguements on the topic
throughout the season.
Research, travel and competi
tion must be done during their
spare time, however, creating a
hectic schedule for the
debators. ; ,
“Yeah, we gave up sleep this
year.” Peacor says with a smile. •
Most of the team has averaged
between four and five hours of
sleep the past few weeks while
preparing for this tournament,
he says.

Despite all the time debating
requires, many debaters con
sider forensics a big help, not a
burden, to their course work.
“Debate has made me utilize
my time." Sistrom says. "The
professors are pretty reasonable
about it...because they know
what a valuable learning tool it
is," he says.
"It's helped my writing and
my thinking, and especially my
researching." Long says.
'.‘Paper writing is made a lot
easier. For example, there's not
a lot of difficulty writing a
paper in any political science,
history or English class because >
of.. .;. a knowledge of the
library's resources and also an
increased knowledge of current
events.'"

The debate team wit) attend a

tournament at Lower Columbia
University the following
weekend, completing five con
secutive weeks of competition.
Peacor says the scheduling
happened by coincidence and
will leave I it tie time' for
recovery. He says winter term
will be an even more difficult
schedule as the tournaments are
larger and farther away.
"Winter is usually tougher ,
because the term is. shorter."
Sistrom says "On top of that,
the topic debated in the winter
is the topic used for .the. national
tournament, giving debaters an
extra incentive to research their
topic."
