For many years, campus tradition mandated that all male freshmen wear their rook lid - also known as "freshman beanies" - on specified days of the week.
The Beavers won by a score of 38-3. The 1969 season also marked the one-hundredth anniversary of college football, and many teams across the country marked the occasion by wearing helmets with a special decal - the numeral "100" inside a football-shaped outline.
