Oregon kept its unbeaten record intat t Saturday
afternoon, fmt it hod to hold off another feisty
comeback to do so.
The Ducks defeated Big 10 foe Illinois 1 i-7 in
Champagne. Ill . but for the second c onsecutive
game they had to survive a nerve-wracking come
back attempt by a back-up quarterhac k
Illinois head coach Lou Topper sent quarterback
Johnny Johnson into the game midway through the
second quarter to replace freshman starter Scott
Weaver, who was unable to move the team against
Oregon's defense. Johnson engineered a touch
down drive at the end of the first half, and almost
did the same at the end of the game.
The Illini trailed 13-7 when they began their
final charge on their own 13-yard line with 3:30
remaining in the game. The biggest play of the dri
ve was a 13-yard pass from Johnson to Jim Klein on
a fourth down and 10 that gave Illinois a first down
at the Oregon 46-yard line.
Three plays later Johnson found fullback Tv
Douthard on a screen pass that went for 17 yards,
giving Illinois a first clown on the Oregon 14-yard
line. Johnson was unable lo complete a pass on the
first three downs of the final series, and on fourth
down Oregon defensive back Alex Molden deflec t
ed a pass intended for Klein to secure the win.

— Right on 13th!
For God so loved the world
that He gave His only begotten son,
that whosoever believeth in him
should not perish, but have eternal
life. For God sent not his son into the
world to condemn the world; but that
the world through him might be saved.
He that believeth on him is not
condemned; but he that believeth
not is condemned already, because
he hath not believed in the name of
the only begotten son of God
Don’t miss a chance to meet Jesus
and let him wash you in his blood!
