0. A. C. VS.. cHEMAvsA.
Siwashes Unable to Pierce Farm-
ers' Line.

On a muddy field, before large crowd
OF enthusiastic rooters, the Oregon Agri-
cultural College defeated the Indians from
Chemawa by the score of 18 to 0, Satur-
day afternoon. At no time during the
game was the farmers goal in danger and
three times the big fellows planted the
pigskiu behind the stakes OF the red men.
While it was O A C's game from the
kickoff, Chemawa put up splendid
game and must be given credit for Civ
ing good exhibition OF football. Saun-
ders, their big tackle, did good punting.
Hreen, Moon, and Payne appeared in
fine form behind the line and occasional
ly rounded the ends for short gains.
The game played by o A G was even
better than the spectators had anticipat-
ed. Their defense was perfect and the
offensive plays were executed with such
force and speed that the Siwashes were
hur.ed in every direction. Dolan and
Lawrence, the big tackles, made yardage
whenever called upon to do so, while the
backs were alternately sent through,
arount and over the Indians for long
gains.
At 5 80 the game began. O A G kicked
off to Chemawa's tWenty-yard line. The
Indians fumbled the first down and O A G
got the ball. Root plunged through the
line fora long gain; Dolan made good
yardage around the end, The farmers
advanced the ball by continually ham
mering the line and before five minutes
of the first half had passed, Abraham
plowed through the line for the initial
touchdown. Cooper demonstrated that
GA G has good picker by sending the
ball between the posts.
Root kicked off to Chemawa's 30-yard
line. The Siwashes made short gain
around the end, but after two unsuccess-
full attempts at bucking the line, Saun-
ders punted to Williams, who brought the
ball back several yards. Dolan went
around left end for five yards; O A C's
backs were sent through the line for
short gains. Williams hurdled the line
and made good yardage.
OAC fumbted, Chemawa took the
ball on their own Is yard line. They
could not make yardage and again punt
ed. Rhinehart received the ball on
Chemawa's 45-yard line. GA G now
started for the second touch down At
every down they made large gains. The
Indians line was broken repeatedly; the
crowd along the side lines gave vent to
their enthusiasm and the college yells
grew louder az the ball neared the oppo-
site goal. At last Dolan was sent around
left end for the second in the series OF
touchdowns. Cooper kicked the goal.
After receiving the kickoff the Siwash-
es took brace and for short time made
things interesting for GA C's defense
Walker now showed up in his old-time
defensive form and spoiled things for the
Indians. Chemawa punted and the first
half closed with o A C's ball on Chem
awa's 40-yard line.
The second half Rumbeugh and Nc
Kinnon went in the game; Harding soor
succeeded Emily; GA O was not weak
ened. The ends were well taken care o
and McKinnon, the big guard from thu
sage brush portion OF the state, showed
up splendidly. The second half wal
different from the first. Capt. Root, be
ing sure of the game, tried several neV
, men. the most interesting feature of thi
: third touch down. 1t was an exhibition
of real line playing. Root would smasl
through for few yards, Williams woul
. hurdle the bunch for an additional gain
and Abraham, ''the piledriyer," woul'
. climb through for some more. The in
3 terterence was superb and with littl
difficulty Abraham was forced over tn
, line for the third touchdown. Roo
kicked the goal. Several new men wer
r in for O A G, and the game closed wit
! o A C's ball in Chemawa's end of tn
. Fl eld.
s Those who witnessed the game al
q highly elated over the football outlool
0 The ease with which Captain Root an
4 Cooper kicked the goals, shows that o
l. G is strong in the place where she We
weak last season. It is clear that 4
game will be lost this year by inabilit
u to kick goals. The strong line, supper
9 ed by the speedy backs, make a combin'
> ton that are able to carry out the ordel
= of quarterback Rhinehart.
