The Bears were unsuccessful on that try and had to think quickly to come up with a back-up plan when they closed the gap to 41-40 with 1:17 left in the game. The play the Golden Bears ran was actually an option, giving quarterback Dave Barr the opportu nity to choose from two plays when ho went behind the center. Option number one was a pass to full back Marty Holly, but Barr chose instead to throw the fade to Mike Caldwell in the corner of the end zone. One of the more interesting snapshots from Sat urday's game came after Cal converted tho two-point conversion, and Oregon head coach Rich Brooks sought out redshirl freshman comerback 1-aMont Woods, and put his arm around him. Woods was lieaten on Cal's final touchdown and the subsequent two-point conversion. Yet. Brooks knew he would need Woods over the next three years and made sure he did not get too discouraged. It was a classy move by Brooks and one that should only help Woods' confidence. To be fair to Woods, both passes were thrown per fectly, and probably would have been caught under any type of pressure. The two-point conversion was a thin# of beauty, as Barr threw the frail just over the the 5-foot-11 inch Woods and right to Caldwell, who did a miraculous job of catching the ball and getting one foot in (rounds Of course, even if Cald well hadn't made the catch. Cal would have had another chance, because Woods was rolled for pass interference on the play • • • The start time for Saturday’s game against USC has been changed to 3:30 p m., so that Prime Net work ran televise the game for the second straight year This should Ixi a relief for all Duck fans, as they ran now watch the Minmi-Florido Slate game with out having to miss any of the Duck game. • • • Oregon appears to hove suffered another season ending injury to a key starter.

Donahue said Monday at his weekly meeting with reporters "There’s always sat isfaction in winning. Were thrilled with the wins. "Certainly, the two wins helped to temporarily quiet down some of the criticism. As soon as you lose, the criticism is going to be there. Until we get a whole bunch of wins under our belt, until we get txack to where UCLA football should be. a lot of that stuff won't go away. "What I need to do is stay focused on what I'm doing. I'm going to devote every ounce of energy I have to winning games." After losing to 16th-ranked Cal ifornia 27-25 and No. 7 Nebras ka 14-13 to open the season.

Hopefully, they're going to become impor tant as the suason goes along " "We'll know a little more when we play BYU," Donahue said. “We'll know even more when we face Washington (on Oct. 16). I have felt all along that if we don't get guys dinged up and we can got some of the dinged up guys back, we've got the potential to be successful." "It was certainly the l>est game of Wayne Cook's career," Don ahue said. "Obviously. J.J. Stokes had a real big night. 1 thought our defensive football team made a very strong accounting of itself, especially against the run. "For the first time in a long time, we had on opportunity to play a lot of players. You can’t believe what that does for your morale. There were an awful lot of positive things that came out of the .San Diego State game." Defensively, the Bruins held standout junior running back Marshall Faulk to 53 yards on 19 carries, Faulk's lowest rushing total since the first game of his freshman year, excluding one game which he left due to injury.
