Game.

In game sesplendent with the
spectacular and affording extreme
interest from the. moment it opened I

versity defeated UAC at football at |
Salem y. sterday. The score was
tour to naug hi, and can4 through
Coleman's drop Kick made from
the 20 yard line alter II minutes
of play Twice before Willamette
had been under the shadow of the
OAC goal pos's. =. A penalization
at one time put Salem on their sew
tn yard line, and there the Nor
cross Green Bunch" stubbornly
held and took the ball on downs.
Later the fortunes Of the game
again letWillarnette within couple
of yards of the Agaic's goal aud
again the latter with an unconquer-
able spirit refused to be rushed ov-
er, taking the ball from their -op-
ponents on downs and punting out
of danger. The resistance saved
to the Aggies the distinction of be-
ing the only team in Oregon whose
goal ltne has not been crossed this
year, and along with Pullman the
only two teams in the Northwest
to enjoy that distinction. -
The game was played on a dry
field. The Willamette team is one
of the strongest in the Northwest.
1t is composed of veteran players,
and outweighed the Agrics II
| pounds to the man. Among the
Willamette aggregation is Thomas
and Russell last year on the Idaho
eleven, Owens of Multnomah, Prof.
Boyer of Willamette, now medico
in that institution, and several 9th
er football stars. Besides having a
heavy team, Willamette has. an ex-
excellent punter in Coleman, who
was fully equal to- Wolff in that de-
{partment. 10 the. earlier part oi
the game Salem displayed greater
strength at line bucking, but this
superiority disappeared in the last
! half. , The teams were evenly
matched and if there were ot1le
contests between them, the honor!
would be as likely to fall with on
as the other, although it may b.
: possible that Salem may have very
slender superiority. The William
cite men fought desperately to car
! ry the ball over the goal line tha
/ has not been crossed this year
r They tried the project until th
''little green bunch took the bal
away from them twice and the
were cotent to try for field goals
The best part of the whole incid
ent was the spirit displayed by tn
= Agrics after the game. A badd Q

State street and down Com
