U OF 0 SQUEAKS BY ARIZONA by D an B ell Three times this year you could call University of Oregon football team giant killers, first they defeated 17th ranked U.S.C. with a second string quarterback. Then upsetting a highly respected and arch-rival number 9 ranked University ofWashington. Now Saturday beating the six point favorite and 11th nationally ranked Arizona. For the first time since 1957 Eugeneans and Duck alumnus are en tertaining visions of going to the Rose Bowl in Pasadena California. Defense was the key axiom of the game and led by the Gang Green, Oregon managed to hold Arizona’s fragile offense to just 9 points. Bounc ing back in the second half to over come A rizo n a’s 9 point lead to presevere by one in an 10-9 victory The Ducks (6-3) overall, 4-1 Pac 10) moved into a four way tie to lead the Pac 10 with Arizona, Washington State and USC.Each team has three games left in the regular season. G oing into the second half blanked 9 to zip Coacn Brooks said I told them at halftime that “somebody had to step up and make a play, just one play to get back into it. I told em we had 30 minutes to over all the bad breaks we got in the first half. I told them we if we got the lead it would be our game and by God, they followed the script. They did it on Matt Balden’s 25 yard field goal and quarterbackDanny O ’Neils on target 15 yard touchdown pass to tightend Josh Wilcox with 12:17 left in the fourth quarter. Obviously a defensive battle Or egon more than met the challenge and held Arizona to two first downs and 39 net yds in the second half. Arizonabenefitted from two huge gifts from the officials in the first half. The officials waved away quarterback Dan Whites fumble at his 10 yard line (recovered by U of O tackle Bryant Jackson) and ruled that Herman O ’Berry’s end zone interception with four second left in the half didn't count, resulting in a third Arizona field goal. Arizona built its 9-0 first half lead on the strength of three field goals by Steve McLaughlin of 47, 29, and 26 yards.
