by
FOOTBALL
Jeff Walks As
Wilson Wins
Wilson clinched at least a
share of the P.I.L. Championship
in a bizarre manner Friday when
Jefferson (who was down 33-0)
coach Mark Pinder pulled his
team from the field with six min
utes remaining in the fourth quar
ter.
Pinder accused W ilson with
playing with illegal cleats which
is an infringement of the equip
ment rules.
Game officials checked some
W ilson players early in the game
and found no irregularities.
However with six minutes
left in the game referee Jeff
Kersten discovered running back
William Holloway cleatsexceed-
ed the maximum lenght.
While Holloway was leav
ing the field tochange cleats
Pinder protested. “I said I’ll ad
minister the penalty” Kersten said
"He then said I’m pulling the
team .’’said coach Pinder

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.

na linebacker Thomas Demps, who
was few steps behind when Wilcox
caught a picture perfect over the shoul
der pass in the right comer of the end.
Danny O ’Neil said it was a gutsy
call. Asked if he had any doubts about
the comeback. "Nah this is a new team
“O ’Neil said we got Gang Green on
defense and a bunch of guys on of
fense who want to win more than any
thing in the world.”
