Oregon Downs Idaho, 9-6;
PCC Record Missed by Morris
By RUSS NIELSEN
United Press Sports Writer
Moscow, Idaho (IF! Full
back Jack Morris booted Ore
gon's first field goal in eight
years Saturday to give the high
ly favored Ducks a 9 to 6 victory
over underrated Idaho in a Pa
cific Coast conference football
game.
Morris's boot came shortly be
fore the end of the third period.
It broke a 6-6 tie and kept Ore
gon in the four-team race for the
Rose Bowl. It was a game mark
ed by staunch defensive play in
which serious threats were few,
but each team made the most of
the breaks.
The only Oregon touchdown
came after substitute fullback
Chuck Osborne intercepted Ida
ho quarterback Howard Willis's
pass on the Oregon 30. Twelve
plays later Oregon quarterback
Jack Crabtree plunged over
from the one.
Osborne contributed a 32-yard
run to the drive, and Crabtree
kept it going with passes of 11
and 17 yards to halfback Leroy
Phelps.
Morris apparently succeeded
in setting a conference mark for
conversions when he booted his
24th without a miss, but a pen
alty nullified the effort and he
missed his next try from the 17.
The Vandals kept coming in
the third. Eighteen plays after
taking the k i c k o f f, Willis
plunged over for the tying score.
Guard Jerry Kramer's conver
sion attempt was wide.
The winning field goal was set
up when Oregon end Ron Stover
broke through to throw halfback
Lloyd Fenton for a long loss to
the Idaho 16. Then a bad quick
kick by Fenton went out of
bounds on the Idaho 32. Half
back Jim Shanley, who carried
the mail most of the day for
Oregon, fumbled but recovered
for an 11 yard gain, but once
again the Idaho line halted the
march. Then Morris stepped
back and booted squarely
through the uprights to settle te
issue.
Although Morris failed in his
attempt at a conference record,
Idaho fullback Ken Hall may
have succeeded. Statisticians pro
duced three sets of figures, from
76 to 83 yards, on his quick
kick that opened the fourth pe
riod. Depending upon the final
ruling, the punt may break the
previous record of 82 set by
Flip Kleffner of Idaho against
Washington State in 1953.

This second touchdown came
after the Beears had failed for
the third time during the half

gambling on a fourth down sit
uation. The Mustangs line, although
outweighed by an average of 16

4-1 lead in a series of exhibitions
with a picked team of challeng

to make the Ryder cup team for
the first time in the past seven
selections, the team of challeng
ers could win only the first of
five four-man best-ball matches
over a sodden course which gave
absolutely no roll to the long
hitting pros.
The day's best contest saw
Jack Burke and Tommy Bolt de

shooting a 64 and being pushed
every step of the way by the
challengers.
Masters Champion Doug Ford
and Ted Kroll wrapped up their
18-hole match with Jamestown
Pro Toby Lyons and Mike Fetct
ick, 4 and 3, by touring the Wan
akah back nine in 31. The torrid
back nine included birdies on
four straight holes which Lyons
described as the "greatest four
holes of golf I've ever seen."

At the final gun the true cali

Coach Chuck Taylor used his
