a sudden ascension in the air
when they met. Amid tremend-
Gus cheering Williams ran down
the vacant field and planted the
pigskin behind the post.
Although they were out-class-
ed from the beginning, the visit
ors put up a stubborn game.
They were too light for Corval-
lis, but in several instances they
demonstrated bevond doubt that
it was by no means their first ap-
pearance on the gridiron. Time
and again the little fellows sue
ceeded in raising havoc with
|OAC's offensive plays by darting
in back of the line and bringing
the backs to the ground. Such
plays. unfortunately for them,
could not be backed up and the
score tells the rest.
The game was called at three
minutes after three. OAC kick
ed off to Whitworth's five yard
line and the ball was brought to
the ground on the ten yard line
Whitworth tried the line. but
could not penetrate it; they punt
ed; OAC took the ball and in
just three live plunges one of the
backs was forced over the last
line for the first touch down.
Cooper kicked the goal, as did
most of the others; his work in
this line was perfect; every time
that chances were not against
him, the big end sent the oval
between the posts. Such superb
work places him in a class with
the best goal kickers on the
coast.
Captain Colbert kicked to
Rhinehart and it was here that
the little quarterback made the
spectacular run for the second
touchdown. Corvallis kicked
the goal. On the next kickoff
Dolan received tine ball and adj
vanced it to the twenty yard line.
Root made thirty yard gain
around the end and after a few
scrimmages, Abraham went
across the chalk line for the third
touchdown. The score now stood
Is to o.
Cooper received the ball and
ran down the field for thirty
yards. Lawrence and Dolan
slashed through for few yards
At this stage of the game Whit
worth's men got through the in
reference and made things look
bad for a play or two, 1t show
ed flaw in OAO's line. Will
liams took the ball and went from
the center of the field for the
fourth touchdown. Captain
Root now went out of the game
and Griffith took his place as
1ight-half. This warrior has g
record in foot ball history, ane
was used to great advantage
against the big "W's."

went around right end, acros'

a score at will. The backs wer
