Beavers lead Civil War Blood Drive
The Civil War Blood Drive between the University of Oregon Ducks and the Oregon State University Beavers is halfway over. The Beavers are in the lead, but the Ducks are following by just 102 votes.
The campaign draws to a close on Saturday, November 17 and your blood or platelet donation can make a difference in which team will earn the eleventh-season Civil War Blood Drive trophy.
