team from o. A. c. Saturday the
Crimson and Gray team proved their
metal by displaying a fighting spirit
never before equalled on Rogers
Field, thus winning the game by the
score of 1919 The contest was re-
plete with thrills, as the result was
extremely doubtful until the final
whistle sounded,
That it was, If not the best, one of
the best games ever seen on Rogers
Field was the concensus of opinion
of those who saw it. At first the
game seemed w. S. C's easily, but
when Oregon made their touchdown
in the second quarter and made 10,
chances were evidently not so good.
Then when Blackwell sent the spher-
old whirling through the W. S. c.
goal posts, making the score 81 in
the visitors favor, the game seemed
irretrieyably lost. However, still re-
tanning the pep" which has been
the characterizing quality of the
team this year, Coach Benders pro-
teges came back so strong in the last
quarter that they worked the ball
down to the Oregon 20-yard line and
there Coulter booted the ball from
placement squarely between the up
rights, winning the game for his
b team by one point. Thus a new

oldest living alumnus that w. S.
c. football team has come from be-
hind and won a game, after their OPP
ponents had taken the lead.
Coach Benders' work was plainly
evident in every play. Precision
marked the work OF every man and
this together with the fighting spirit
that has been instilled into the team
made it an efficient football ma
chine.
Stars would be difficult to pick, as
every man showed himself worthy
of especial mention. Undoubtedly
the hero of the game, however, was
Shorty" Harter, who entered the
game with a knee so badly swelled
and so painful that he was barely
able to bear his weight upon it.
For three long periods he bore the
pain of having his injured limb
kicked and bruised and only when he
could no longer rise after a. scrim-
mage did he consent to being carried
from the field, leaving his position
to Arthur Golf. Harter received his
injury in the U. of o. game and the
Aggie quarter. knowing of this, sent
series of plays over him in an at

Coulter was the great scorer. max

with Kienholtz's and Wexlers aid,
tore off large gains time after time
and on defensive was whirlwind
Kienholtz's punting was par ex-

stands. Several times he ripped the
Oregon line in the manner of man

only by Coulter's speedy tackling.

Frank Golf, sent in to take the
place of his brother, when the latter
was shifted to center in Harter's
place, played the same steady clock

Wexler played a great defensive
game at fullback, although he was
removed near the end of the game to
allow Foster to be sent in for the
purpose of hurting forward passes
The latter not only threw the ball as
straight as bullets flight when
called upon for pass, but used his
