ONE LONE GOAL
WINS FOR OREGON

As yard line. w. S. C.'s other chance
to score came in that grilling third
quarter, when after a fumbled punt,
by Main, Suver fell on the ball out
of bounds on Oregon's Is yard line.
Coulter made yards and Tyer 2
yards on end runs, placing the ball
on Oregon's 10 yard line, with 5
yards to go, third down. On tackles
back, Laird was given the ball, but
Oregon in a wonderful stand, placed
every ounce of their strength in their
effort and held, the ball changing
hands. Latourette then kicked out
of danger. In both these plays, the
team seriously missed the services of
Milt Moeser, the great little drop
kicker, who was out of the game with
a broken thumb. With Noes" abil-
fty at drop-kicking, it really looks as
though the score would have been
tied had he the opportunity of boot
ing the ball over the crossbar.
Oregon was really surprised at,
the strength of the local team, and
the fact that they were so completely
outplayed in the entire first half is
attributed to a mite of overconfi-
dence on the part of the visitors, who
really expected to trounce the State
College team by at least 2 touch
downs. After making his brilliant
run, Captain Main instructed his men
to play safe, and Oregon's game, and
rightly so, in the last quarter was
merely one of defense, never taking
a chance when the ball was in the
danger zone, Latourette always punt
ing out of danger.
With Kienholz not in shape to ev-
en- enter the game, as was shown by
his retiring in place of Walsh after
5 minutes of play, Moeser out entire
ly, Laird, Tyrer and Fishback Grip
pied, it is undoubtedly true that the
playing of the game with Idaho lost
us the game with Oregon.
Tom Tyrer. despite his crippled
when all is said and done,
was the bright particular star of the
entire games play, with Mains per-
Torrance reckoned in the bargain.
Tyrer's work in carrying the ball was
his 30-yard fighting run
in the first quarter, Immediately fol
lowed by a 20-yard gain, being as
spectacular as Mains lucky getaway
in the third quarter At almost ev-
cry stage of the game. Tommy made
good yardage when given the ball
1t can easily be said of him that he
was the most consistent ground gain
er on the local team. And Tom s.
tackling was just as phenomenal as
his offensive play and his advancing
the ball.
Latourette, kicking for Oregon,
and Coulter, doing the punting for
the State College, wed with each 9TH
er in the second and fourth quarters
particularly, with honors practically
even. Latourette showed better judg-
ment in placing his punts to the side
of the field, and was perhaps more
speedy in getting the oval away from
his toe. Coulter, however, made ev-
cry attempt good, his team mates
holding off the opponents until Coul-
ter got away with his punt. The ends
and tackles of both teams did excel
lent work in getting down on punts,
Fishback and Laird perhaps excelling
their opponents in this phase of the
contest. Tyrer and Pynn, as long as
he lasted, were fast also in getting
down on the ball.
Joe Harter. in his quiet unassuming
way, played a real "all-northwest"
game, his tackling, and his defensive
as we'll as offensive work shining
forth in great glory. Little "Heintz''
deserves great deal of credit for the
scrappy game he played at quarter
Scrap he did, and never should he
be blam ed for not catching Main on
that dash for the State College goal
line, for field runner of Mains abil-
ity, with only one man to get by,
would probably gone around any man
in the northwest, if this man were the
only obstacle between himself and
the coveted goal. Latourette's work
both on punting and carrying the ball
was rather a disappointment to those
who have seen the "phenom" play in
other games. He has lost none of
his lodging or cunning, but one
source of great satinsfaction is
that he did not get away for one sin.
