at war dance. Willamette students
embraced each other, and went through
performances that would have done
credit to any mad house in the county.
In twinkling the field was covered
with hundreds of shrieking men and
boys, and "Racehorse himself SUI
rounded by admirers, had to submit to
more hugs, handshakes and slaps on the
back than he has received in many a
day.
This was the most exciting part Of
the game, for it was now evident that
Willamette would win. RAIDER came
nearly creating a similar sensation. near
the close of the game, however, when,
with a perfect wall of interference, he
raced around the end down the field for
35 yards, the longest run of the day.
But it is in his line bucking that he
shines the most. He hits the line low,
with twist and force that is impos-
sible to stop.
Others who played star ball for Salem
were Capt. Long, Pollard, Marker, Pat
ton, Henkle and Nelson. Long made
two of the three touchdowns, and sew
eral big gains.
The Willamette men were in perfect
physical condition, and played through
out the game without an injury. In
fact they were playing faster more ag-
gressive ball when the game ended than
when it began. The team work and the
interference was simply perfect. Coach
bishop has certainly worked wonders
with his team, and now has them in n
condition where they will give Multno-
nah the game of her life. The Albany
men and coach all unite in saying that
Willamette can beat either u. of o. or
C. A. c., and are willing to back up
their judgment with the odds of to
l. Many of them say that she will beat
Multnomah, and Captain Griffith is go
ing down to see it done. The local sup
porters are more than enthusiastic, and
several prominent business men are
working up a, big excursion to accom-
pany the team to Portland when they
meet Multnomah on December 10th.
The Albany men wore not in s'l3h
good physical condition as their op
ponents, and they had not Bishop to
develop team work Their individual
work was remarkable. The famous
Coates played quarter during the first
half, but his head work was all that
aided the team, as his game knee pre-
vented his getting in the game. AL
bany's big guard was the next man to
go out, and he cried like a baby when
he was told he could not play, and was
!rd from the field. Butler and I'm Ter
wood were both injured and compelled
20 go out six minutes before time Tor
The referees whistle.
Albany now only had nine men left,
and the game was called with the ball
in Willamette's possession on the Is
yard line, and a sure touchdown in
.;sht. ,ltain Grifi r offered to er
cede the touchdown to Willamette but
Captain Long refused to accept it, and
the score stood 10 TO 0.
The best If feeling prevailed throagh
out the game and everything was lone
to make the stay of the visitors a pleas.
ant one. After the game they were
served to sumptuous turkey dinner
at down town cafe, which was greatl.
lly enjoyed.
Not many fumbles were made during
the game, butt two made by Albany
were costly ones. Willamette was pen.
allied twice in the first half for Is
yards and this fact cost her another
touchdown. One of the prettiest plays
of the game was RAIDERS kick for bet
ter position to try at goal after the
| first touchdown. The ball was booted
from the very corner of the field, and
! landed neatly in Mace arms, squarely
in front of the posts. The slippery ball
prevented RAIDER from kicking this and
the succeeding goal.
The Albany men say they were fairly
beaten by superior team. Coach Ma
gee says that Salem has the most ag,
gressive team he has ever seen. He
says that they play regular &" varsity
/ ball.
The time of halves was 80 and %
minutes.
