Sports War Continued from Page 8 Photo bv (ohn (itinliM The Ducks defense, led by (from left to right) Si:ott Kozak. Anthony Newman and Mark Kearns, left OSlI's running backs under wraps all day. The game was Oregon's first shutout, and it was the first time Oregon State had been kept off the scoreboard all rear. Seniors defensive captain Anthony Newman and offen sive tackle Jeff Stefanick ex pressed the same amount of pride after the game. "The underclassmen don’t realize how important the game is. I can say that I never lost to the Beavers for the rest of my life," Newman said. "VVe didn't want to be the ones to end the streak. In a game like this people develop a deep passion, and we per formed better under the cir cumstances," Stefanick said. Along with the records, Oregon established a single season attendance average of 39,298, and kicker kirk Den nis broke records for both field goals attempted and made for one season Dennis' three for three boots of 28. 49, and 39 yards respec tively, helped Oregon tie a 1895 record for the largest blowout in Civil War history After Dennis’s 28 yarder, which put Oregon ahead 10-0, the Beavers ‘‘Air Express" deflated On third down and 10 from the 20 yard line, noseguard Rollin Putzier and defensive end Matt Brock blitzed though the line and sacked quarterback Erik Whilhelm, spraining his ankle W'hilhelm then limped off the field and never returned. The Beavers then punted and Oregon’s Terry Obee returned the ball to the OSU 8-yard line. Two plays later Derek loville scampered for his se cond touchdown of the day and the Ducks were up 17-0 Ioville rushed for 103 yards for the day, a first time this season he hit the *100’ plateau ‘‘It feels real good to get 100, especially against the Beavers.” Loville said "We took out our frustrations on the Beavers " On the ensuing series, the depth-shy Beavers placed Kent Riddle at quarterback, a freshman who had previously played only five minutes against Washington. Riddle couldn't lead much better than Wilhelm, as the Beavers lost 4 yards in three plays and punted again. The Ducks took over inside midfield and marched 4‘t yards in eight plays, seven of those rushing plays, and went up 24-0 on l^tin Berry's 8-yard run The Civil War now started looking like a rout. The Thicks ended their first half massacre with a field goal, pushing the margin to 27-0. The Ducks continued their tirade in the third quarter when quarterback Bill Musgrave hit Joe Meerten for his 13th touchdown pass of the year, and Dennis kicked his third field goal of the day stretching the lead to 37-0. Midway through the third quarter Oregon eurnerback Ron Gould drilled Riddle, knocking him out of the game The Beavers then placed James Castle, who never played quarterback at the | V or varsity level, at the helm And surprisingly, he finished with better numbers than his predecessors, going six for Hi attempts for 4B yards total Although Castle moved the1 ball he ciidn't make a dent in the scoring. Oregon State's lone hope of avoiding a shutout c ame toward the end of game when Robb Thomas returned a kick off after Oregon's fames Harper's touchdown. But the 96-yard return was called liack after a clipping t ail at midfield "That kind of typified the whole day for us VVe wanted to at least score to make it respectable, but what do you say7 The team's just not get ting it done." Thomas said The Heavers finished the season 2-9. and have only won eight games since Dave kragthorpe took the helm three years ago. For the Ducks. Musgrave summed it up the best "We've had a taste of suc cess and now we are hungry I don't want to relax. We need to continue to play well and work hard in the off season ” Photo by |ohn (>«uattM When Kollin Puttier and Matt Brock knocked Beaver quarterback hrik Wilhelm out in the second quarter, they sent OSIJ's slim hopes down the tubes.
