1T WAS A TIE.

Albany had genuine Thanksgiving
day foot ball game. The Greens of Eu.
gene and the Albany team played an in
teresting game in the afternoon in the
essence of several hundred people.
dhey were given taste OF genuine foot
ball, and not stretcher was usel.
When the two clubs lined up at 8
O'Clock the universal opinion was that
Albany would be badly beaten. Eugene
averaged at least twenty pounds more
than Albany, in fact was heavy weight
team, though the arrangement was that
neither team should average more than
lao pounde. The two Driver boys, sons OF
Rev. Driver, loomed up with their near
ly 200 pounos OF solid flesh, and the gen.
ersi makeup was that of solidity. 1t
proved to be solidity without any science.
During the whole game not single re-
turn punt was made and only one end
run. Their playing was continual
bucKing Of the center. This they did eff
fectively. and after getting the ball on
Stewards kickoff gradually took 1t down
the field with the sun at their back until
they crossed the line for touch down,
followed by q goal, but it took over
twenty minutes After the next kick AL
bsny kept the ball in Eugene's territory
until the half closed. Eugene 8, Albany0
Eugene then faced the sun. On her
kick Albany got the ball, and by series
of brilliant end plays carried it rapidly 20
the line. On the way Ramp made sen.
sational end run, by trick, that result
ed in long gain, and Howard and
Bridgeford both made some telling gains.
Stewards full back game wss the bsst
general playing of the day. Bridgeford
finally carried the bail over tie line, and
easily kicked goal. This made the
score even. Eugene then got the ball
and by main force carried it dangerously
close to the goal, on the way Bennsr
making the only gain around the end
made by Eugene, and it was hard one
well earned. He was finally tackled Dy
Saltmarsh, af.er throwing off two others.
The game ended with the ball one yard

dispute, Eugene claiming a half minute
more lime, which would have given her
the game Eugene. 6: Albany, q
