Two thousand people with nerves
strung to the highest tension saw the
University of Oregon football eleven de-
feat the Oregon Agricultural College on
Kincaid Field this afternoon. The score
! OF to stands for the hardest, cleanest
and in all respects the best game ever
seen in the Northwest, and the figures
probably represent the comparative
strength of the two elevens.
Gordon Moores, a fair-haired youth
who plays on Oregon's left end, made
the single touchdown of tbs day after a
sensational run of 45 yards, just before
the end of the first half. Oregon had the
ball in the middle of the field, and Cap
tain Latourette called a quarterback
kick, which went over the scrimmage
line and slightly to the left.
Kerron, who was on side, rushed for
waro, grabbed the leather, but fumbled
it. The ball struck Corvallis man and
rebounded into the open arms of Moores,
who pulled away from his pursuers with
the speed of race horse. For As yards
he tore dov the white-ribbed field with
half dozen Agriculturists in hot pur-
suit. The goal line was reached, and a
touchdown was made amid the shouts
and cheers of thousan voices. Frissell
kicked goal.
