Seniors happy with victory in last home game of season
By Paul Morgan
Emerald Sports Reporter
Oregon’s 28-2-1 victory over
UCLA Saturday is not the last
game of the season, but the se
niors on this year's squad hid a
fond farewell to Autzen Stadi
um and the fans that helped the
Ducks post an undefeated home
record.
"We're never going to hear
that kind of crowd noise tie
hind us again." senior split
end Joe Reitzug said. "The peo
ple here are great fans and that
was apparent today."
The Ducks ended their home
season with a 7-0 record, and
will start next season with a
nine-game home winning
streak Oregon is 21-7 at home
since 1‘iHti, when many of this
year’s seniors were first don
ning Duck uniforms
"We expect to win in this
stadium." senior tackle Todd
Kaanapu said. "This win is
fantastic 1 couldn't ask for it to
end a better way
As senior offensive guard
Andy Sunia walked down the
breezewav toward the Oregon
lot kerrooin. tears welled m his
eyes.
"It feels great to know that I
can look hack in 10 years and
say I never lost here as a se
nior." he explained later. "It’s
a great honor.”
liut sentimental emotions
about the last game at Autzen
were not totally apparent in the
faces of all Oregon seniors.
Quarterback Bill Musgrave,
who finished with a 19-1 home
record in games he started and
finished and was perhaps the
driving force behind Oregon's
success over the last three
years, was as calm and busi
nesslike as usual.
"I'm kind of thinking aliout
California right now.” he said,
alluding to Oregon's contest
next weekend at Cal.
However. Musgrave did take
a quick moment to reflect on
his last home game.
"Well, when we were walk
ing out for the coin toss Rory
Dairy turned to me and said
'You know it’s really hitting
me that this is our last game
here.' Then I said. 'I know,
don't say it.' Hut he was right,
you know, and it was hitting
me right then too that this was
the last time out there in front
of a full stadium."
And how about after the
name?
"We couldn't just sit out
there and enjoy it." Musgrave
said. "It was a tough game and
we really had to battle. We’re
all pretty much shaking inside
right now. because when you
battle like that il takes a while
to recover."
The same cannot he said for
the Oregon fans, though, who
gave the senior quarterback a
standing ovation when his
name was announced before
the game.
Musgrave was shghtlv off on
Ins passing all day ■ and
admitted after the game that he
"didn't feel that (treat, even in
warm-ups." But lie came
thruu({h like he has so many
times for the Ducks on the
game-winning drive with time

^ | elson Mandela is the most important po
IVI litical prisoner of our time. Yet although
| his name and message are well known,
tne man behind them is not. He has been kept
from the South African public and the world for
a quarter of a century. This is a dramatic and in
timate biography, which draws on letters and
reminiscences from Mandela himself and from
his close family. Fatima Meer, a friend of Man
dela’s for many years and a professor of soci
ology, has provided a meticulously researched
and passionately written account of a man who,
more than almost anyone, can claim to have
made African history.
