No options off limits as Oregon football aims to overhaul kickoff return unit
EUGENE — For all the team speed Oregon has, one place it has not shown up is on kickoff returns. The Ducks ranked 128th nationally last season, averaging just 15.4 yards over an albeit small sample of 20 returns, several of which were designed short kicks to tight ends. Oregon’s longest return of the season was 24 yards and Gary Bryant Jr. averaged 18.5 yards over his 14 returns, but even his contributions would’ve only moved UO up to 91st nationally.

Newly identified remains of missing World War II soldier from Oregon set to return home
WASHINGTON (AP) — The remains of a missing World War II soldier from Oregon have been identified and are set to return to the state for burial, federal authorities announced Thursday. The remains of U.S. Army Private William Calkins were identified after being exhumed along with other unknown soldiers buried at the Manila American Cemetery in the Philippines, the Department of Defense said in a statement reported by Oregon Public Broadcasting. The department’s Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency, tasked with recovering prisoners of war and service members missing in action, said Calkins was captured after U.S. troops in Bataan province surrendered to Japanese forces. After surviving the harrowing 65-mile (105-kilometer) Bataan Death March, he was held at Cabanatuan POW Camp #1, where records show he died on Nov. 1, 1942, at the age of 20. He was buried with other prisoners in what was known as Common Grave 704. After the war, his remains were exhumed from the camp and relocated to the Philippine capital, where they were buried as “unknowns” at the Manila American Cemetery and Memorial, the agency said. They remained unidentified until this year.
