But there is a twist to the reasoning. The Ducks have been hurt by the pass and BYU's starting quarterback Marc Wilson is one of the nation's leading passers. The slender junior from the nearby State of Washington completed 146 of 257 attempts for 2,236 yards and 22 touchdowns in just seven games last season. This year Wilson is for 849 yards and two weeks ago was WAC player of the week for his yards against New Mexico. So, the Ducks are worried about - 69-1- Wilson. But, if current history is any indication, they might be more worried about Wilson's backup-sophomo- Jim re n. There is a reason for this. Ironically, it has been second and third string quarterbacks who have stolen what appeared to be sure victories from the Ducks in their last 3 games, leaving the Eugene team with a grossly misleading record of When the Ducks were beaten 0 by TCU it was reserve quarterback Steve Stamp, only a freshman, who passed 26 yards for the winning touchdown in the 4th quarter. A week later it was 3rd string quarterback Mike Lakasmiki who gave Wisconsin a 9 victory over Oregon when he passed for two 4th quarter touchdowns. And last Saturday the Ducks took an lead over California with 3:22 to play at Berkeley. The Bears had been favored by 21 points but the Ducks had an upset all but in the bag. The win got away from them when Cal's relief quarterback, Rich Campbell, threw a touchdown pass with 1:25 to play to pull out a 8 win for the Golden Bears. That leaves the Ducks wondering today whether to worry about Wilson or McMahon. McMahon has come on in relief twice for the Cougars and been impressive so the Ducks are doing well to worry about both BYU passers. But the Cougars are hurting physically for this test. The Cougars have lost the services of starting offensive tackle Nick Eyre for at least 2 weeks with a knee injury. Tailback Scott Phillips has a sore leg and won't start. Tight end Tod Thompson has a thigh bruise 0-- 5. 14-1- 22-1- 18-1- 4 21-1- that hasn't responded and will 1 : l 0-- 0-- I 1 ...... U-- T i 1 be replaced in the starting lineup by Clay Brown. Casey Wingard will start for Phillips at tailback and on the offensive line, guard Tom Bell will move to tackle with Randy Tidwell starting at left guard. On defense, end Mat Mendenhall has a painful shoulder pointer and will be replaced by Rob Buchanan. Tackle Doug Stromberg has a hyperextended elbow and Dennis Webb will start in his place. Linebacker Brian Hansen has hurt both knees. That injury list could be important in this game because the Ducks are not a 5 team. BYU coach La Veil Edwards said on the plane here today that he expects Oregon to be one of the toughest teams the Cougars will face. They are better offensively than Oregon State he said. Despite its 5 record, Oregon has demonstrated a vast improvement in overall performance from a year ago. Last year Oregon allowed 34 points per game. This year the Ducks have held their last 3 opponents scoreless through the first half and had shutouts going into the 4th quarter in two of the games. But Edwards is most impressed by the Oregon offense. And with good reason. Sophomore fullback Vince Williams has, in 5 games, surpassed the rushing total amassed by last year's season leader in 11 games..Williams, whose 36 yard touchdown blast with 3:22 to play appeared to have won the Cal game, has a total of 362 this fall. But the top average belongs to senior tailback Ed Radcilff who has broken runs of 42, 33, 18 and 16 yards since becoming a starter in the 1st 2 games. Quarterback Mike Kennedy, who had a scoring pass to wide receiver Paul Bachtold against Cal, has completed 57 of 131 passes for 678 yards. The last time Oregon lost its first 5 games was in 1975 when they dropped 6 in a row. Last year the Ducks lost 8 in a row between a win over TCS and the final game with Oregon State. BYU is coming off its worse beating in years a 24-- 7 drubbing at home by Utah State. How the Cougars react to that loss and the injuries could determine the outcome of this game. BYU is 2 or the season and has split in 2 games against Pac-1- 0 foes, beating Oregon State and losing to Arizona State. Saturday they get a chance to win their 2nd game against the Pac-1- Jtniaqjfel will be placed into a hopper of some sort for the drawing. But all 5th grade boys in the area are invited to the clinic.

Bob Hudson: "Quack. Quack. BYU will get its act together and go Duck hunting with success. There's no way By DICK HARMON Herald Sports Writer BYU is given a narrow blade edge nod to defeat Oregon in Eugene this weekend by the Herald board of prognosticators. Predictors are more cautious this with their point spread. Ray Schwartz continues to hold a slim edge. BYU basketball player Danny Ainge, a native of Eugene, Ore., said he was disappointed at the BYU loss last week but felt the Cougars would take the Ducks by 24 points. Ray Schwartz: "I'm picking the Cougars to beat Oregon, because I week the act. Watching all this are Provo 5th graders Gib Arnold, Karl Wilson and Jeff Kingsolver, left to right.

Pat Edwards was not available for comment. d. Darrell Berkheimer: "Former Oregonian Charlie Zumwalt, composing room foreman at The Herald, says Oregon is a weaker sister in its conference this year. So with BYU on the Kurt Kragthorpe: "The enigmatic Cougars get harder to forecast each week. Oregon is probably the best 5 team in history, but that fact may be meaningless.

For the 15th time this season, the Yankees, coming off a loss, were asking Guidry to bail them out. If there was one ray of optimism besides the man himself amid the Yankees' latest traumas, it was that Guidry was also well rested (five days) and figured to be in top physical shape for this, their most crucial game. "My arm feels as strong now as it was throughout the season," said the tfOpound Guidry, who has thus far pitched 281 innings.

Opposing Guidry for the Dodgers will r Don Sutton, a forbe n midable veteran of play. Until his loss to Philadelphia in last year's playoffs, Sutton had won five games including straight two in the World Series.

I can't envision anyone else being 25-- It takes skill, luck and motivation." Meanwhile, the Yankees appeared to be seeking their motivation from a turmoil. familiar source Prior to Wednesday's game, center fielder Mickey Rivers attempted to bring a relative on the team bus. When Bill Kane, the Yankees' traveling secretary refused, Rivers began shouting and shoving. After the game, Reggie Jackson, who struck out to end 0 it. flung his bat against the dugout wall and began flailing away at his teammates both verbally and physically. In both cases, Yankee manager Bob Lemon, who has reportedly been voted only a half share of the World Series money by his ungrateful troops, got caught in the middle. Lemon tried to step between Rivers and Kane and was jostled around in the process. When Jackson began pushing his way through the dugout tunnel that leads into the Yankee clubhouse, the first man he knocked aside was the manager. Lemon, who took over from Billy Martin at midseason when the Yankees were 10 games behind in the American League East race, has, like Guidry, been a calming force on this d tempestuous team of stars. But when Jackson barreled into him, Lemon shoved back and told his tempermental slugger to cool off. "I shouldn t have said anything to Reggie." Lemon said latrr "I should high-salarie- have let it run its course. How many times did I come storming off the mound when I was pitching? was upset about a few things. derstand that." I Reggie can un- Jackson refused to say just what things, besides the spectacular game-endin- g strikeout at the hands of rookie Bob Welch, were bothering him. As for Lemon, there were more questions regarding Rivers (who was benched along with Chris Chambliss Wednesday because of injuries) and the e half-shar- embarrassment. "Hopefully both Rivers and Chambliss will be ready to play now that they've had three days rest," the manager said. "In Rivers' case, there was no discipline. That was just an unfortunate incident." Pressed about the World Series share. Lemon replied: "Hell, I don't give a damn about the money. I'm just happy to be here." |
