The Game at Corvallis.

Inc 1OllOWlng account OF the loot
ball game of Wednesday between
the teams of the Agricultural Col
1eges of Washington and Oregon,
was sent in by HERALD represent
alive who accompanied the team to
Corvallis:
CORVALLIS, Or, Nov nth
The w. A. c. football team went
down to defeat today before the
heavier team of the Oregon Agri-
cultural College by the score of E to
0. The game throughout was
magnificent exhibition of football,
and the Pullman boys won the adj
miration of the citizens of Corvallis
as we'll as of their rival players, by
their clean and gentlemanly play
ing throughout the bitterly contest
ed game. The O. A. c. eleven is
a mnch stronger team than we had
expected to find from reports in the
press, and played cool, heady game
from start to finish. Their captain,
Bert Pilkington, who played full
back, weighs I85 pounds, Root,
their right half-back, weighs $50,
and Williams, O. A. C.'s crack
sprinter, plays left half-back in of
fensive work and safety full when
on the defensive. These three men
are star players and put up SEN
sational game in today's contest.
For our boys, Cardwell, Lobaugh
and Grimes played great game,
the defensive work of the two for
mer often throwing o. A. C.'s heavy
backs for loss, and it was not till
after they were compelled to retire
from the field that end plays by the
local men resulted IN any gains.
Our little quarterback, Grimes, was
in the game all the time. His pass
ing was sure and rapid and his
quarterback punts pulled our boys
out of several bad holes. Long
street made one of the finest tackles
of the game when he hurdled the
interference in the first half and
downed the runner, who had gotten
clear of all our other men and start
ed for what looked like sure touch
down.
In the first half O. A. c. kicked
to Reborn, who ran the ball back
IS yards. The first two downs re-
sulting in no gains, Grimes punted,
Williams capturing the ball. On
their first attempt 0. A. c. barely
made their yardage, and on second
down was forced to punt. w. A.
c. bucked the line for no gain and
Cardwell punted to o. A. C.'s rs
yard line, but Pilkington immed-
lately punted out of danger, and
thus throughout the entire first half
the ball was moving backward and
forward from the center of the field
to o. A. C.'s IS yard line. Pix
ington was a very strong punter
and he would thus overcome the
gains made by Grimes quarterback
punts and Cardwell's punts
from behind the line. At no time
during this half was the w. A. C..
goal threatened, the entire play be-
ing between the center of the field
and the o. A. c. IS yard line. 1t
looked several times as though our
boys would score a. touchdown, but
the IS yard line was stone wall
that they could not pass. AT one
time the ball was in w. A. C.s
possession on the IS yard line di-
rectly in front of the o. A. {. and
drop kick might have Melted a
goal, but a quarterback kick was
