Sutherin Pulls Out Win
Over Surprising Oregon

-
because Of the pass intercept
tons and fumbles.
In the second period. after
hating Ohio on the II. Oregon
surged to the Buckeye 20. There
Crabtree musSed up the pass
from center. Stanley kicked
the bounding pigskin In a futile
recovery attempt. and Ohio's
Don Fronk fell on 1t. In the
fourth. after moving from Ore
CONS 20. Crabtree hit End Ron
Slower with. a 22-yard pass
to Ohio's "a. but he fumbled
when tackled. Cannavino re-
covered. and Oregon's last
chance was gone.
Slower Grabs 10 Passes
Slower was the games pass
snatching star. picking of 10
aerials for la yards.
Don Clark. Ohio's No. l half
back who missed the last two
Big Ten games because OF a
groin injury. rushed for 50
yards in u carries. but White,
the sophomore plunger from
Covington. KY, paced the
ground-gainers with 90 In IS
tries. Stanley and Morris each
carried IL times for Oregon,
the former for 50 yards. the
latter for 81.
So well did the Webfeet move
the ball. digging themselves out
OF deep situations time after
time. that they we're not forced
TO punt even once-the first
time In years the Buckeyes
haven't forced a rival to kick.
Ohio State defeated Califor-
mia here in 1850 by the margin
OF Jim Hague's field goal. IT.
IA. and tripped UP Southern
Cal in 1855 by 20-7.
II was after the latter game
that Hayes. making his first
appearance in Pasadena, earned
the ire Of the West Coast critics
by saying four other Big Ten
teams could have beaten the
Troians and that at least three
OF his backs were better than
Jon Arnett. the Southern Cal
standout.
But this year Hayes has been
friendliness persontned. In his
post-game conference he was
asked to estimate where Oregon
would have finished in the Zig
Ten. He evaded answering
with: we start spring prac-
tice April 2"
Pressed for an answer. he
said:
I've been here before. and 4
didn't make too many friends
BY making comparisons. Let's
Just say that Oregon was a big
surprise to us. They moved the
ball as we'll as anyone we've
met. Crabtree is a fine passer. |
Slower a fine receiver. and their
defense was as good as any
we've seen. Len Casanova really
did a job coaching those boys
for us"
Woody went on to say that |
Ohio didn't have one Of its bet |
ter days. but that generally
bad days are caused by the
other team. There were two
pretty good ball clubs out there.
but we didn't throw any pass
interruptions or tumble the bali |
away. They did. and that was
The ball game.
Simple Difference
They don't pay of ON sta
tisties or first downs. They pay
OIL on the score, and we won n.
The better team always wins.
Oregon tried a field goal from
"a yards and missed IL. We
tried one from "a yards and
made II. It's as simple as that"
The press was barred from
The Webfoot dressing room, but
Casanova stepped outside to
face reporters.
Oregon is the best damn
team in the country" Casanova
said. I'm prouder OF this team
than OF any team I've ever
coached"
Oregon's chances were hurt
badly when Mondale injured |
his knee. Casanova said. Nom
tale's replacement. Joe Schaf-
Ield. himself was nursing an
ankle.
"Schaffeld was a real ex-
ample OF CUTS out there today"
said.
