Jake Curtis of the Son Francisco Chmnu It- reports
that California's game winning two-point conver
sion In Saturday's 42-41 win over Oregon was not
the ploy the Golden Bears planned to run
Cal used its first choice for the two-points when
it got within 3H
Duck Notbbqok
ter. 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

Oregon appears to hove suffered another season
ending injury to a key starter. Fullback Juan
Shedrick may join cornerback Herman O'Berry on
the sidelines for the rest of the year.
Shedrick sufferer) a serious elbow injury near the
end of Saturday's game, and orthopedic surgeons
say there could Ire serious ligament damage that
would require surgery.
The loss would be a crucial blow to the Ducks
because Shedrick is considered by many to be the
best blocking back in the Pacific-10 Conference. In
addition, ho has caught eight passes this year and
is the Ducks third leading rusher with 1M yards.
True freshman Pulou Malepeai is listed at the top
of Oregon's depth chart at fullback heading into Sat
urday's game. He will he backed up by junior
Dwayne Jones, while one of Oregon's top special
teams players. Don Meade, is listed at third string.
Bruins answer critics with two wins
l.OS ANC.FI.ES (AP) — Two
weeks after Starting a season with
two losses for the first time since
1971, UCLA is ranked iJf»th in the
country. For tlie tune being, nt
least, the heat is off Bruins coach
Terry Donahue and his team.
"It's been a good turnaround
for us, from 0-2 to 2-2 in six
days." 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.
UCLA hod a 23-23-1 record since
the conclusion of the 198H cam
paign. when Donohue and his
team won on unprecedented sev
enth bowl game in os many years
Next up for UCLA is No. 19
Brigham Young, which will bring
a 4-0 record into the Rose Howl
on Saturday night
Donahue smiled when asked
about his team in the Top 25.
"When you're going well, the
rankings are important," he said
"When you're not. you don't give
a hoot about them. 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.
UCLA has had good success
against BYU. winning four of the
five games between the schools
including a 17-10 decision at Pro
vo, Utah last year.
“I have a great deal of admi
ration for BYU," Donahue said.
"I've watched them in spring
practice. I've talked to (BYU
coach) La Veil (Edwards) on a
number of occasions. We've
always had good games with
them."

ifornia in Berkeley on Satur
day.
Shelley has been suspend

arrest Sunday on a charge of
obstructing a police officer.
Washington coach Jim
Lambright on Monday made
it sound like more than just a
suspension.
"Jason's gone. He's off the
team," Lambright told
reporters.
He also said: "You have
people who place themselves
above the team at times and
have to be pointod out as
examples of what shouldn't
be done. ”
Asked specifically if Shel
ley would be back this sea
son. Lambright said, "I have
no idea."
Shelley caught four passes
for 142 yards and one touch
down against San Jose State
last Saturday. The 6-foot-2.
180-pound sophomore is the
Huskies' leading receiver this
season with 17 receptions for
270 yards and one touch
down.
Freshman Dave Janoski

bright said.
Shelley, 19, and another
University of Washington
athlete, basketball player
Prentiss Perkins, 21, were
arrested Sunday and booked
into King County Jail for
obstructing a police officer,
a misdemeanor.
Perkins, from Minneapolis,
was released shortly after
midnight on his own recog
nizance. He was the starting
point guard on the Huskies'
13-14 team as a junior last
season, averaging 10.4
points.
Washington sports infor
mation director Jim Daves
said new Huskies basketball

town and planned to meet
with Perkins this week when
Bender returns.

car involved in the incident,
a blue Cadillac with Califor
nia license plates that
btdongs to his parents, police

Calif., told police he did not
know the driver.
Hearings were scheduled
in Seattle Municipal Court.

uled Oct. 19, Perkins' on
Nov. 11.
The car came to the atten
tion of two bicycle officers
late Sunday afternoon, when
it stopped and blocked
southbound traffic on Uni
versity Way.
One of the officers noticed
Shelley in the back seat,
drinking beer from a 40
ounce bottle, the police
report said.
The car moved away,
accelerating when the offi
cers ordered it to stop. It ran
two red lights and narrowly
avoiding hitting several vehi
cles.
The car then went out of
control, the report said. The
driver hit the brakes, leaving
a 213-foot skid mark anti
raising a plume of smoke as
the car spun 360 degrees and
came to a rest facing south on
the east-west street. The
length of the skid mark indi
cated a speed of 67 mph,
police said.
Shelley and Perkins fled
on foot and were arrested
nearby.
The Cadillac and its
unidentified driver also left
the scene — heading south
on a one-way northbound
street. The car was later
found on campus and
impounded.

was already on probation by
former Coach Don lames.

tors say he sucker-punched
