Husky memories not fond for Cas
By Dave Charbonneau
Efneraid Sports Editor
Len Casanova is sort of like
Oregon footlwll's memory bank
The man who coached the
Ducks for 16 years from 1951 to
1966 is now the Athletic Direc
tor Emeritus in the Oregon ath
letic department
The 87-year-old Casanova has
Iven around Oregon footljal) for
more than 40 years, and has
many stories to tell, including
memories of his experiences in
the Washington-Oregon rivalry
The Huskies were not good to
Casanova to sty the least His
teams defeated Washington only
three limes in 16 years, and even
the occasional victory was not too
pretty
In 1964. Oregon defeated the
Huskies 7-0 in Seattle Casano
va's memory of the elusive vic
tory is overshadowed by the
brutal play of Washington's
defense
"The defense was just out-and
out going after our quarterback.
Hob Berry,” he said. "They didn't
even bother about the ball carri
er. they would just hit our quar
tertwek It happened two or three
Lan Casanova
different times and the officials
wouldn't call it. I ran out on the
field and almost got a 15-yard
penalty."
Possibly the most disappoint
ing loss for Casanova came in
1960. Oregon was trailing 7-6,
with under a minute left to go in
the game. The Duck quarterback
threw a long pass, but Husky fans
had already converged on to the
playing field, making it impossi
ble for the receiver to catch the
pass, and Oregon lost.
I UUII I Miuw I*
would've caught the pass and
scored or not." Casanova said,
"but that was a rough one."
Casanova's first meeting with
Huskies is the one that brings
forth his most negative memories
in 1951. Oregon won only two
games all year.
We had nothing as far as our
team was concerned," he said.
"The Washington game that year
was the worst beating 1 ever
took."
The Huskies ran up the score
on Oregon. f>3-U. and left their
starters in for the whole game.
"That game is one I’ve always
took in my graw," Casanova said.
"It always kind of irritated me."
Casanova pointed out that all
these games were against Wash
ington teams coached by some
one other than current Husky
coach Dun James.
Casanova said he would not
expect either Oregon head coach
Rich Brooks or James to run up
the score on the other if given the
chance. "I don’t think Don James
would do that,’’ he said, "and I
certainly don't think Rich would
do it."
HUSKIES
Continued from Page 7B
If there is a main concern for
the Huskies, it lies in Oregon’s
defense, a defense that held l ISC'
to 22(> yards total offense last
week
"It looks like their defense is
better than ours," James said.
"They shut down t ISC a lot bet
tor than we did "
Oregon's offense will have a
hard time with Washington's
pressure defense, especially if
quarterback Danny O'Neil
responds the way he did to UNO's
defense last week O'Neil was
sacked 13 limes against the Tro
jans. and many of those sai ks
could have been avoided if
O'Neil would have thrown the
ball away But with the pressure
defense comes opportunities for
the offense, if Oregon plays it
fight.
"Anytime you play a pressure
defense, there's the possibility of
a big play." Brooks said. "But it
hasn't happened very often
against Washington this season. "
Notes: The Oregon injury list
has not grown any bigger "Every
one who was available against
DSC will Ih.‘ available this week
end." Brooks said ... The biggest
crowd in the state's history is
expected Saturday. More than
4 7,000 fans are expected ...
According to the NCAA, Oregon
has played the fifth-toughest
schedule in the nation thus far
this season. USC is second, Stan
ford is third and Oregon State is
fourth ... Oregon kick returner
Donovan Moore is sixth in the
nation in kickoff returns. Kick
er/punter Tommy Thompson
