OCaQaQE.
Fifteen hundred people saw Or
egon snatch victory from Utah at |,
college football on O. A. C. field |
last Wednesday. They saw the
swift and powerful lads sweep con-
stantly around the ends of the
heavy Utah line, driving the heavy |
Utah backs before them, and saw
them dash over the Utah goal line |
for no less than eight touchdowns
in but forty minutes Of play. For.
ty-five to naught was the final
score, and the figures represent but
part of the difference in the power
and speed of the two elevens. Long
er halves and desire of Oregon to
more humiliate the inter- r-mountain
state could easily have raised the
final total to 80 or 100 to a goose
egg. Big as were the invading
players and formidable as they
were in their desire to hold up the
colors of their. state, they were far
out-classed by the swiftbacks and
powerful line of the Oregonians.
The hopelessness of their cause was
demonstrated in the first minute of
play. Captain Pilkington won the
toss and elected to receive the ball.
His men ran it in to O. A. C.'s 80
yard line on the Utah's kickoff and
starting at that point and, without
a break, tumble or pass, rushed
their opponents back through the
so yards of checkered field for the
first touchdown, requiring less than
three minutes of play to do the
stunt. The story of that first touch
down runs like this: Utah kicked
to Bower on the 20 yard line and
be ran in the ball 10 yards before a
Utah man nailed him, Root round
ed end for four yards and Williams
finished the required yardage. Viii.
liams skirted end for three yards,
Rogers for two and Root got away
for a long dash of 35 yards. Will
liams reeled off 16 yards more.
Root tore off another 10 around end
and Williams went the necessary
| five yards to cross the Utah goal
line. Pilkington kicked goal. As
that play went, SO went the rest. of
the game. Utah made yardage
but three times in the forty min
nses of actual play, and Oregon
failed to make yardaee but twice.
! At straight football Utah forced the
ball but 26 yards, while Oregon
rushed it a total distance of 421
, yards. Even at punting, the men
from Utah were out-classed, and in
duel in the last half in which sew.
eraE punts were exchanged Oregon

, kick. In one instance, Captain
Pilt ington punted sheer sixty
ya,'is, and the man who caught the
sps-re was downed in his tracks by
