Senior All-Americans Pat Haller and Colin Dalton led the way for Oregon, finishing third and sixth, respectively Haller finished with a time ot 24:4(>, and Dalton came in at 24:58 Sophomore Andy Maris ran his second strong rat e in as many weeks, finishing ninth with a 25:00 time. The other st aring runners for the Ducks were junior l ye Van Schoiai k (2 1st) and senior Shannon femora (24th).

Haller, Dalton, and Lemora all sat out the first meet of the season at last week's Kmerald City Invitational to give Coach Bill Dellinger a chance to look at the rest of the squad. The result was a third-place finish at the meet Brooks said ho thought the call was a had (mo. "It ap peared to bo the ground that caused the fumble." he said. O'Neil then took the Ducks 70 yards in 12 plays, including an 10-yard play to tight end Jeff Thomason O'Neil completed six passes in a row at one point McCollum's 27-yard field goal gave Oregon a (i d lead af ter the drive stalled. The Trojans then went 50 yards in eight plays, tying the score with another Ford field goal. Ford's 57-yard attempt with dll seconds left in the half was well short. O'Neil's second straight less then sterling performance again opens up tin! quarturbai k ques lion, which appeared to be old news after the redshlrt fresh man's strong showings in the wins over Washington State and Texas Tech. "I would say Danny O'Neil's still our quarterback," Brooks said. "We took the opportunity to look at some other people, and we will analyze tho film, hut right now it's Danny O'Neil's job.” O'Neil finished the game with Ilf) vards on 1 () of 21 passing. Oregon offensive coordinator Mike Bellotti said the; quarter hacks will girt a lot of attention at practice this week "The last two games have opened things up for close scrutiny.” Bellotti said.
