end. Oberer carried the ball the
next time it was put in play and
made a good run, but lost the
pigskin when tackled. How
ever, Bodine's hazel optic was on
the spheroid as usual and before
the soldiers knew it, he had the
ball in his fond embrace. Cor
Wallis worked the leather up to
within six feet of the soldiers
goal line when it was lost on
tumble. Gaining possession of
the ball proved of little benefit
to the visitors, as they lost it on
the third down, having failed to
make the necessary five yards
gain. Corvallis then sent Aber-
nethy through center a couple of
times and scored another touch
down. Score, s to o.
On the third lineup Vancouver
kicked off, but Pap McAllister
put up his arm which reached
most to the sky and stopped the
ball on the 45-yard line. Phil
lips carried the ball for fair
gain, but on the third down it
was passed to Abernethy for a
fake punt. This play proved
disastrous, Corvallis losing 20
yards by the operation. A fake
punt was tried again, and Aber-
nethy regained the lost ground
by a good run which brought the
ball we'll into the soldiers terri
tory. He was then sent through
center, and when time was called
: the pigskin. was on the soldiers
5-yard line, and in their posses
sion.
The second half opened will
a kickoff by Vancouver, the bal
5 coming into the possession of A
Simpson who carried it severa
yards. Abernethy then ham
: 1nered the line for 10 yards, bu
the ball was lost to the soldier;
on a tumble. They failed t.
| make their yardage, and the bal
again went to- the farmers, wh'
soon worked it, by a succession
l of center plays, across the sol
diers' goal line; but Aberneth,
I failed to kick goal.
Shortly after the next kickoff
: Corvallis lost the ball on fun
bic, but Oh the third down Van
couver had failed to make he
: yardage, SO it again came int
possession of the home team
Trhen it was that Oberer mad
his star play, taking the bal
around the soldiers left end for
4 run of fully. fifty yards. Bloss
however, brought him back 2
yards upon the ground that h
J ran outside the line. This decis
ion met with general disfavor, a
many who were in a position t
know, claimed that Oberer, al
though close to the line at on
time, did not get outside Of il
;, Burnett took the ball for an en-
run and succeeded in making
: fair gain. On the third dow
Abernethy tried to kick goal fror
