Portland Observer, March 6, 1906, Page 7
25,232 fans attend Breakers home opener
As the Portland Breakers came
through the tunnel at Civic Stadium
Saturday night, it was the beginning
o f a new love affair. Portland wel
comed their new USFL franchise
with open arms and plenty o f noise.
The players responded by upsetting
the favored Los Angeles Express
14-10. The game went right down to
the last play on an Express-completed
pass at the Breaker 4-yard line.
From my vantage point in the press
box, all 1 could see was fun being had
by all in attendance. In fact, two
young ladies that were new to the
business o f being football fans, had
the press box rocking with laughter.
With the help ol Allison and Monica,
the Breaker brass knows how to throw
point kicks to 100 and Portland forged
ahead 7-3.
The Express retaliated with a 64-
yard touchdown drive o f their own
when L A . quarterback. Steve Young
scrambled for 16, I I and. finally.
8 yards fo r the score. Zendeja’s point
after returned the lead to L .A ., 10-7.
Mazetti attemtped a field goal from
the 32 but the kick was wide left with
1:02 remaining in the half.
Jordan got the Breakers out o f the
blocks ealy in the third and broke
a party.
Buford Jordan proved to be more
than capable in the Breaker back
field, as he rambled for 110 yards on
17 carries. After falling behind 3-0 in
the first quartr, the Breakers went to
Jordan, and on his first cany he broke
loose for a hard 25-yard gam. Four
plays later, the Breakers scored on a
32-yard flea flicker from quarter
back Doug Woodwad to wide receiv
er Frank Lockett. Tim Mazetti then
ran his string o f consecutive extra-
away for a 15-yard gain that fueled
the Breakers’ momentum. Jordan
was still hauling it when the fourth
period began as he drove through the
L A. line for a 3-yard touchdown
run. That touchdown run proved to
be the game winner for the Breakers.
Tumbles by both teams in the last
4:18 caused some anxious moments
for the Breaker fans but the team came
through it and pulled out the win to
endear themselves to the 25,232 in
attendance.
