Albazy Retains Reputation for Playin.
Dirty Ball.
The $50 football rooters anc
enthusiasts who accompanied the
O.. A. c. team to Albany last Sat
urday, returned home very dis.
gusted and disheartened crowd
disguised because of the playing
by the Albany team, and dis
heartened because of the useless
defeat they met by unexcusable
fumbling.
Saturdays game in Albany
brought forth two facts which the
GAZETTE has proclaimed of late.
First, that the o. A. c. team had
no business to play the Albany
College, because they knew what
they would go up against; sec
ond, that Albany can't play clean
football.
We could take the above facts
and fill volume, but it would
do no good. The game was
played; we were defeated by poor
but clean plying on our side.
We never want to witness an
other such game. We stand for
clean athletics, but the perform
ance on Saturday by Albany was
disgrace, and we would rather
see the Corvallis team lose every
game than to win by resorting to
such unsportsmanlike methods as
was adopted by the winners on
Saturday, and we hope that Cor
Wallis gets beat every time they
are guilty of meeting them.
The game in detail is. as fol-
lows:
FIRST HALF.
Vonderhellen kicks off to
Albany and Coates secures ball
but is soon stopped. Albany fun
bles but the ball is regained by
them and R1nehart brings them
toa stop. Albany then consecu-
lively gains 2, 10, 8, 3, 3, 10, 3,
Q, 5, ;, I, and 5 yards, and then
loses 3 yards On each of next two
plays and then are held for yard
age. O. A. c. fumbles but re-
gains ball and gains S yards on
next play. They then tumble
and Albany gets ball and makes
S, o and 8 yards and then touch
down. They kick the goal and
the score stands s to in favor o.
Albany.
Albany kicks off to Pilking-
ton but on first play 0. A. c.
fumbles twice but still retains
ball. Corvallis then makes good
gains, when Du Pois, of Albany,
is sent to the side-lines for slug
ging, and his place is taken by
Underwood. Pilkington then
gains 10 yards through the line. |
0. A. c. then gains consecutively
3, 5, o, o, IS and S yards but
finally lose ball. Albany makes
required yardage, then 25-yard
end run, and attempted a place
kick but fail, the ball flying wide
Of the mark. Time is soon called,
making the score s to o in favor
Of the Presbyterians.
SECOND HALF.
Albany kicks off to o. A. c.,
who gain S, 10, 2, o and then
punt. Albany loses S yards then
gains, S, 3, 4, 2, 2, S, I, 2 which
brings them near enough to at
tempt place kick which they fail |
to make. When O. A. c. gets
ball they make some good gains
but lose ball on tumble. At this
time Rupert is taken off the field,
having received an injury to his
head. Albany again fails on
plack kick. After kick off

Albany man. There is now but
six minutes to play and the ball

run. Time is called with the
final score of Albany 6, Cerval-
lis o.
