Oregon fell behind, TO, in the opening period and the Vandals threatened to score again before the Ducks regained their poise with two long scoring marches and a 1877 half time advantage. Then Quarterback Dave Grosz and the speedy Oregon backs got hot and the Webfoots ran wild. The Ducks stayed in the race for the Rose Bowl and Idaho moved farther down the road toward its worst season in more than go years of intercollegiate football.
