PORTLAND, Ore, Dec. I.-Syracuse
trampled on the fast Oregon Agricul-
tural College team today. The defeat
today makes the third one this year
for the o. A. C. team, which ranked
fourth In the Northwest this year.
The score was % TO 0, and, while
the crippled o. A. c. team struggled
valiantly, Il could make but little gain
against the powerful and well-coached
Syracuse eleven, the ton of men,
who displayed a versatility Of attack
which fairly bewildered the Corvallis
men
Syracuse started right off the reel
scoring two touchdowns In the first
quarter, and came back with les other
pair IN the third, o. A. G. managing to
hold its own, as far as the score was
concerned, in the second and last
quarters. 8f# as4
The Aggies failed to show the class
expected OF them. Their fumbling was
extremely costly, and right at the
start they had three penalties regis
tered against them for off-side play.
syracuse, onsthe other hand, went into
u 0u.lnCoDlAnC
and showed a knowledge Of the for
ward pass which was absolutely won
derful. No team that has ever played
here used It to so much advantage.
Heaviest Line.
Whine Syracuse Is heavy team, 1t
has its weight where needed, and its
speed where required. For instance,
the line, which averages more than
2v0 pounds, was in direct contrast to
the backs and ends, which are compar-
stively light and wonderfully fast.
Quarterback Meehan, who, with
Wilkinson, stationed at left half, and
Rafter, at full, we're the real stars OF
the game, were ali especially effectiye
on the offenfe. are light men. with the
exception ofiWilkinson. He made two
OF the four touchdowns, and kicked all
the goals, before retiring in favor Of
brown in thk fourth period.
o. A. G. Had no realf system OF at
tack. II made yardage seven times

sistently, and was forced to kick re-
peatedly. Undoubtedly, o. A. g. could
have made q much better showing had
IL been athletic present the same line,

Michigan Akgies, but not even its
most ardentIsupporters would be will

2f3-Pound GUAR,
An element Of comedy was injected
into the proceedings by Babe" White,
the big guard. White, who is feet 8
inches In height and weighs 27S
pounds, was, eWashtly put in the line
for other purposes besides his size. A
number of different times White

sailing high in the air, and picked 1t
off as II he were grabbing luscious
pear from the top Of tree. He then
proceeded to walk q few steps with
several Aggiss clinging to each of his
legs. This play always brought q
laugh from the entire crowd.
Coach Stewart Of the Aggies was
forced to make several substitutions
during the game, which was remark
able for theatew times there was any
delay. Syracuse made only one shift,
when Brown was called In to replace
wilkinson.
Aoole Team Crippled.
The Aggies would undoubtedly have
made better showing If DIR. Stewart
had been able to line his team up
without any cripples. II lacked the
punch to successfully penetrate the
Syracuse defense, and its fumbles
were COSTLY The Eastern team JUST.
fled all the good things said about it
tn its advance notices, and is undoubt-
edly one OF the best elevens in the
country, so the Aggies should not feel
badly over their defeat, under the cir
cumstances. One thing Syracuse had
to contend with was the presence of
Hugo Bezdek on the o. A. c. bench.
The Oregon coach was seated beside
DIR. Stewart, chatting with the latter
as Il there was never such thing as
an Oregon-0. A. C. battle.
