Civil War tilt to decide best of the rest
By Dennis Fernandes
Of liw FjhoM
The joke is over, and the
Oregon Ducks were the first
ones to stop laughing
The annual Civil War game
between Oregon and Oregon
State University has traditional
ly been a lopsided, meaningless
affair between two programs
ready to vent a season of frostra
tions on the other. Heck, this
game has even been dubbed the
• Toilet Bowl."
Not this year.
The 90th meeting of the an
nual event is set for Saturday at
Corvallis' Parker Stadium.
Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p m

that the Beavers, 3-7 overall,
have improved tremendously
over the season.
Sophomore quarterback Erik
Wilhelm, who has baffled
defenses all season long, passed
1962 Heisman Trophy winner
Terry Baker to become OSU's
career passing leader with 3.518
yards.
Holding an offensive
powerhouse like BYU to a mere
seven points is an amazing feat
in itself.
All of these factors have caus
ed Oregon coach Rich Brooks
such concern that he has closed
practices at Autzen Stadium
this week. It is apparent he
believes that Oregon's 11-game
unbeaten streak in the series is
in more jeopardy than previous
Civil War touts.
“The emotional aspect of this
game comes into play more than
any other,” Brooks said.
PEACE. TRANQUILITY. STATE OF MIND.

"There's no question we
want to win our last game,”
Brooks said. "The thing I've
always stressed is that our
seniors are in a position that
with a victory they can say
they've never lost a Civil War
game."
' in addition to the Ducks'Civil
War success. Brooks has the
claim to fame of never lasing in
18 matchups as a player and
coach for the Beavers and then
coach at Oregon.
The winner of this game
could finish seventh in the
Pacific-10Conference standings
(the top six are all ranked in the
top 20), providing, that
Washington State University
loses to the University of
Washington.
"With us winning the last
two and them heating BYU. it
brings a little more meaning
and involvement into this foot
ball game," Brooks said. “It’s
possible this game could decide
the best of the rest, and that
means seventh place, and we'd
like to get it."
Weakening schedule or not.
the Ducks have displayed con
siderable improvement on the
offensive and defensive ends of
the pigskin. Up until the third
quarter of last week’s game, the
defense had not allowed a
touchdown in .seven quarters.
The offenSe has exploded for
885 yards the past two games.
391 of those on the ground.
Chris Miller, who could
feasibly walk out of Parker
Stadium with' every Oregon
passing record in his pocket,
will match his aerial show up
with an improving Beaver
defense, led by cornerback Ted
dy johnson, whose nine in
terceptions this season ties him
for the nation’s number one
spot.
“When there is emotion on
the line, you do need somebody
with a cool head out there, and
normally that’s your quarter
back. I'll put my stock in Chris
Miller.” Brooks said.
Derek Loville has emerged as
the running threat for the Ducks
and is sure to be called on to
take the pressure off Miller,
especially after last week's
career best 139 yards.
"I’m pleased that we could
run and pass the ball, and I
think that it has helped the
passing game a little bit."
Brooks said.
l,ook for Wilhelm to hook up
with receiver Dave Montague
the majority of the time. His 10
catches on Saturday catapulted
him into the record books as
OSU's single-season record
holder in receptions.
