SPORTS Hell will freeze over, Beavers will improve i FROM THE SIDELINES BY JAYSON JACOBY Civil w,tr week mui The Oregon Stale* Him vers iiri* ('inning into S.it1 urii.n s game sporting a s< hool record 15 straight losses, the longest current streak in Divi Sion ' N(IAA football First year head couch .-Jerry I’ettilxine has vet to win at live Heavers' helm More than a year has passed sirn e Oregon Stall' has i nine otl a field victo rious Anil our neighbors up in ( orvallis have been outscored, in this, their 21st straight losing campaign, bv .i combined tf)2 m. Fredk turn lor 1 uu I (begun state stuns the I’.u 11 it 10 Con ference and itiuch id the na turn by finishing with a 5 .1 league mark, and bv garnering its lust winning season in 2.1 years, the Heavers end with a 0 5 overall record Ok So now you're saving, Hiiv, wait just a minute you've been sitting in front of that computer too long and all those nasty video display ter minal rays are sr rambling your brains Maylx' Hut allow me to ex plain a hit alxuit inv prognosis tor the Heavers meteoric rise to mediocrity Nut surprisingly when 1’ettl bone took over in Corvallis last year, there was quite a bit ot enthusiasm among tile Heaver taithful. It's inevitable Any time a program so long im mersed in losing as Oregon State makes a i henge any change somebody is going to predict an imim'd iate I urn - around The same thing hap pened when D.ivc krugthorpe look ovi'r in tuns supposedly tin- beginning of (hr Alt Krug thorpe" era And now. .is tin- [feu vs r on linin’to break records for fulilt 1\, She i .ills for Pettibones head ! are coming’in But those first | ••predictions, hoisi’ver short I sighted they mas have been, will prove lu lie nghl after all I’ellilxme definitely did bring a change from his former head touching job at Northern Illi nois a big change Now Ore got! State is the only I’.e 10 team to run the triple option of fense And while some people are all over IVttibone tor cum pie to I v revamping Oregon State’s program which is still winless it liehtxives one lu remember that they haven't been winning for more than two decades Kventuallv the new system will prevail, though What I’ettdKino is doing is giving his program Hs only c ham e of re cruiting quality players There is no way aside from a strong winning season and maybe a Ixiwl hid that Ore gon State is going to win many offensive or defensive, lor that matter recruit*, with the ( redentials to excel a! ibis level by running an everyday o! fense Why would a quarter bar k or running Ixir k come to Corvallis when lie could run the same offense for a winning team ’ But Oregon Slate doesn't run a typical offense However, quite a lew high schools around the country run the option just like the Beavers And there are going to be high school players Turn to BEAVS.
