■ Oregon’s Joey Harrington
may join an elite group of
quarterbacks who have led
the Ducks to the Rose Bowl
By George Beres
for the Emerald
Few schools have a pantheon of
quarterbacks whose reputations can
match that of the field generals wear
ing the green and gold of Oregon.
The names roll off the tongues of
longtime observers of the game, start
ing with Norm Van Brocklin, Dan
Fouts and Bob Berry. Their images
grew ever-larger through their ex
ploits in the professional game.
Just as deeply ingrained in Oregon
football lore are the exploits of three
who never have worn a pro uniform,
but who earned collegiate stardom
during seasons when the Ducks
were the pride of the West Coast.
One — this year's passing trigger
man, Joey Harrington — has a great
shot of making it to the pros, and he’s
only a junior. The other two — Dan
ny O'Neil and Jack Crabtree — won
headlines for performances in Ore
gon's last two Rose Bowl games,
which brilliantly concluded playing
careers for both.
"Jack was a hard-nosed kid when
quarterbacks could not be protected
because they had to play defense in
the pre-platoon era," said Len
Casanova, who coached the 1958
Rose Bowl team. "His head always
was in the game — never more so
than when we were huge underdogs
to Ohio State in the 1958 Rose Bowl."
The mass media, especially the re
porters in Los Angeles, called the
game a mismatch.
"The Los Angeles writers gave us
no chance whatsoever," said
Casanova. "It's one of the things that
got us a little fired up. We were out
to prove we had ability. I'll tell you,
the kids showed it. They out-gutted
everybody."
The Ducks kept the Buckeyes off
balance with the pass. Of Crabtree’s
17 passes, 10 were caught by tight
end Ron Stover for a Rose Bowl
record that lasted many years.
"I threw what was considered a
lot of passes in a Rose Bowl game,"
Crabtree said. "Compared to today,
that was a small number...."
For his performance in a game the
Ducks lost, 10-7, Crabtree received
an award seldom given to a player on
the losing team: player of the game.
Thirty-seven years passed before
the Ducks returned to the Rose Bowl,
■
and they got there on the throwing
arm of quarterback O'Neil. It was the
era of specialization, which was a
break for Danny, whose slim frame
was ill-suited to play defense. But
his bulls-eye arm kept Oregon in the
game against powerful Penn State.
O’Neil passed for a Rose Bowl
record of 456 yards, though Penn
State won a high-scoring battle, 38-20.
Once again, Oregon had to absorb
the pre-game barbs of Los Angeles
writers. Syndicated columnist Jim
Murray favored Penn State in a game
he said "should be covered by the
Marquis de Sade." A clipping of his
article was taped to the Oregon dress
ing room bulletin board. When an
Oregon partisan asked, "What will
you write when we win, wise guy?"
Murray answered, "I dunno. Maybe
take credit."
In the press box, Penn State
sports information director Budd
Thalman told me, "I've never seen a
passing performance to equal that
of O'Neil out here today."
That was high praise from a man
who in his early days at the Naval
Academy publicized the great
Roger Staubach, later the star of the
Dallas Cowboys. His Penn State
quarterback against the Ducks, Ker
ry Collins, was good enough to be a
finalist for the Heisman Trophy. But
his play in the Rose Bowl was over
shadowed by Oregon's O'Neil.
If the Ducks can hold onto first
place this season, the Rose Bowl
quarterbacking mantle will fall on
Harrington. A return to Pasadena is
unlikely to have L. A. writers as cyn
ical as in the past. They were sub
dued after the Ducks whipped
Southern Cal, 28-17, on Saturday.
They also saw one of the finer pass
ing efforts in the history of the L.A.
Coliseum as Joey passed for all four
Oregon touchdowns, completing
28 of 42 passes for 382 yards.
Even though Casanova, 96, is the
patriarch of all surviving big-time
football coaches, he can claim some
credit for recruiting Harrington to
Oregon. Harrington, a Portland na
tive, is the son of a man who played
football for Casanova at Oregon.
“The day Joey was born," Casano
va said, "I sent a note to his dad with
a sample letter-of-intent form. I
wanted to be sure he had his boy
earmarked for Oregon."
George Beres was Oregon sports informa
tion director from 1976 to 1982. He is the
author of the 1995 Rose Bowl book, “The
Year of the Duck.” He can be reached at
