Oregon dropped this game 26-19; the less said about a loss to Washington, the better, no matter when it happened.
Program Notes —
- The early Sixties programs are so bland it’s hard to find anything interesting to say about them. This may be the worst of the bunch. The Ducks had an excellent squad in 1963, with *two* future HOF members in Mel Renfro and Dave Wilcox, decent depth and good overall talent. But other than a two-page game preview, you’d be hard pressed to notice anything unusual or special about the team. The whole program has a kind of high-school feel, starting with yet another generic “R. Vrooman” cover. The photo titled “Webfoot Rally Squad” on page 4 could have come from a National Lampoon High School Yearbook Parody outtake.
- Cigarette advertising continues to dwindle, although Viceroy is back sponsoring the center spread. And, instead of a traditional exhortation to smoke, RJ Reynolds Tobacco performs a public service by reminding back-cover readers to turn on their car’s lights at night. Oh, and don’t speed. It’s bad for you.
