Hot Game
SEVEN THOUSAND FANS VISIT AL.
BANY TO SEE THE BIG GAME
OREGON WINS BY SCORE OF 3 TO
DIN HOTLY CONTESTED GAME.


Contrary to the much-hasbed
"dope," and even to expectations of
her most ardent supporters, the Uni
yersity of oregon walked off with the
championship of the state by virtue of
a 3 to score over the Oregon Agri-
cultural college in the contest held at
Albany Saturday.
The winning score was registered
at the beginning of the second quar-
ter, when Carl Fenton booted the pig
skin between the goal posts from
placement on the 25-yard line.
The Farmers were outplayed from
the start and, although Oregon lost
the ball right at the start by fumbllng
the Kickoff, she Immediately settled
down to business, and, after holding
the "Aggies'" right in their tracks for
four downs, they opened with a 30
yard run by Halfback Parsons and
continued, with the exception of a
couple of short spasms, to play the
"Farmers" off their feet.
As soon as 1t was ascertained that
the Oregon team was really on a par
with the "Aggies," and were able to
make yardage, both around the end
and through the middle, the Joy of
the Oregon supporters knew no
bounds. "They never could beat us"
declared Trainer Hayward, as he iu-
bllantly paced the line. 1T isn't in
them said Manager Gray, as he,
too anXiously watched the first symp-
toms of Oregon's superiority. "They've
all got big yellow streak" announced
one Of the Oregon fa1s, as he pointed
to the big orange stripes around the
middle of the Aggies. Hundreds of
other evidences of uncomfortable 10Y
appeared as Oregon continued her ad-
vance,
Although the play zig-zagged from
one end to the other, o. A. C's terri
tory was for the NEST part the seat

gOn eXcelled II the punting depart
ment, Fhton averaging about As /
yards, but Blackwell, during the time
he was able to play, set pace that
could not be equaled, at one time ne
gOtiating with the pigskin for a lift =
that passed over the head of Cornell, y
Oregon's safety full, and rolled leis- ,
urly along the ground, registering in '
all over 70 yards. 8
Both teams found themselves with
in striking distance several times dur l
ing the play, Oregon attempting five t
trials from placement, and succeed {
ing the first time only. o. A. G. also q
essayed to score from placement d
twice from the 4O-yard region and [
once from the 25-yard line at place [
right behind the goal posts. The at y
tempt made in the second quarter L
from the 41-yard line bade fair to t
tie the score, but, after sailing square I
for the middle of the crossbar, the a
ball dropped, just touching the under
side
Between halves Oregon took the
field first, and, forming a long 20"
to shoot off firecrackers
and big bombs and do the war dance.
The "Aggies" followed with a big SER
massing in the center of the ,

loose dozen carrier pigeons to which
were attached little streamers of
orange and black ribbon.
