The Oregon Duck football team, before what was described as the “biggest crowd ever” to crowd into Autzen Stadium at Eugene, gave their fans something to cheer about with a 32-31 Big 10 Conference win over visiting Ohio State, Saturday night. While the gate attendance might show 60,129 fans entered the stadium, a national audience on NBC-TV added to the numbers as both teams came to the game unbeaten, Ohio State ranked No. 2 and Oregon ranked No. 3. The Buckeyes, chosen by most to win, came away disappointed. The Ducks (3-0, 6-0) travel to West Lafayette, Indiana to play Purdue (0-3, 1-5), Friday, Oct. 18th, 5 p.m. Fox Sports.
