Did Oregon ducks ever go by another name?

The Oregon Ducks have always been known by that name. The nickname "Ducks" originated from the University of Oregon's football team, which was first called the "Webfoots" due to the state of Oregon's nickname, the "Beaver State." Over time, the name was shortened to "Ducks," and the mascot, a yellow duck named Puddles, was introduced in 1984.
