OREGON TOO STRONG
FOR MICHIGAN hGGIES
Smash Team That Defeated
Yost's Powerful Eleven.

East Lansing. Mich, Oct. 30 Smash
ing the local line by surprise at
tack, the football eleven representing
the Oregon Agricultural College de-
feated the Michigan Aggies here to-
day by a score of 20 to 0. The team
from the Far West had been repre-
sented as a brilliant exponent Of 0pen
football: instead il used an old-fGsh-
ioned battering ram attack which re-
suited in three successful marches FOR
tOuchdOwns.
Abraham. left halfback, was the
powerful foundation for Oregon's at
tack In the first period he led ter
rife offence. which carried the ball to
Vi. A. C.'s 5-yard line. Then he made
the touchdown Cole kicked goal. The
Michigan Aggies desperately tried to
tie the score. but after working the
ball TO within three yards of the en-
cmy's goal posts lost il on downs.
The second period was hard fought
and without scoring. In the third pc
Rod the Michigan line melted before
the savage attacks. which sent the
Lacks boring through the guards and
tackles. With the ball on Michigan
5-yard line, Allen scored and Cole
again kicked the goal The fourth pc
Rod was marked by similar play
Gains ranging from three TO ten yards
finally resulted in third touchdown.
OrcgOn's line was too strong for the
Aggies 10 pierce. and forward passes
mixed with end runs gave Michigan its

Overhead Plays Battle Ca
diets, Ward Making a Fine
Showing in Handling
Forward Pass.

West Point, Oct 9O.-There is gloom
in the Army camp tonight. The sur
prise Of the season was sprung to-day
when the Villanova eleven, which was
thought 10 be weak, administered a
drubbing TO the Army in hard-fought
but clearly contested game on the
plains. The Pennsylvanians won by a
score of Is TO 10.
Two touchdowns. from which one
goal was kicked, and q field goal made
up the visitors total. VillanOva played
better football than the Army and de-
served 10 win. From Il spectators
point OF view the game was the most
interesting that has been played here
this year.
The Vllanova team flashed a series
of overhead plays ard delayed passes,
interspersed with runs from kick
formations, that completely bafiled the
cadets and were good for long gains.
The visitors presented a fairly good
line, too, that at times outplayed the
cadet forwards. This was especially
true while the visitors had the ball.
Wide gaps in the Army line allowed a
feet Villanova back to slip through
more than once.
McGuckin and Forst were the main
stays in the Villanova backfeld, and
Wards splendid work with the forward
pass was largely responsible for the
victory. Lateral and forward passing
for long and short distances kept the
cadets guessing. The visitors tried
fourteen passes, of which ten were
good for gains.
The Villanova quarterback was sem
sational in his running back of punts
Once he carried McEwan's kickoff from
his own 5-yard line to the cadets s.
yard mark II led to a score for, on
the next play he tossed a pretty pass
just over the line Of scrimmage for a
touchdown.
Neither side scored during the first
period, but the cadets got well started
toward their first touchdown just be-
fore the first quarter ended. At the

VERMONT WEAK, so
BROWN WINS EASILY
Lateral Pass Is Most Successful
Play Used by Victorious Team.

Providence, K. l., Oct 30.-Vermont
afforded little opposition for the Brown
eleven to-day, the Brunonians rolling
up 46 TO 0 score. The Brown team.
in spite of its large score, failed TO
reveal any exceptional strength, the
weakness OF the visitors being the main
reason for the heavy tally.
Brown fumbled frequently early in
the game, but improved in handling
the ball as the contest progressed.
With the forward pass, which was
often attempted, little success was
obtained, ground being gained on the
play but once. The lateral pass was
worked with good results, however.
Pollard, the brilliant Brown half
back, played only part of the first half,
but his work was again one OF the
features of the battle. He tore OF sew
oral long runs, one of them netting
forty yards, and another thirty. Purdy
and Andrews also showed up well on
the offensive. Many injuries marked
the game, the Vermont players being
the ones 10 suffer in nearly every case.
Dolphin, after making a fine showing
nj halfback for the visitors, was
knocked unconscious in making a tackle
near the end of the game. He was
carried from the field and il was some
time before he recovered.
One Of Browns touchdowns was the
result of a blocked punt. Ward drop.

GETTYSBURG EASY
FOR LEHIGH ELEVEN
Cahall Star Of One-Sided Game
at South Bethlehem.
IBy Telegraph to The Tribune. ]

South Bethlehem, Penn, Oct. 30
Lehigh defeated the Gettysburg eleven
to-day by score of % to 0. The Wis
itors lost two chances to tally from
drop kicks when Cahall's and Halo
wells attempts went wide of the mark.
Cahall was Lehigh's bright particu-
lar star He was invincible in run
ming back punts and in his dashes
around the end. Two of his runs
were fifty yards each and the third Of
seventy-fve yards in the third period
resulted in a touchdown.
Twombly's 25-yard run around right
end led up directly to Fred Green's
successful try for field goal The
play took Gettysburg completely by
surprise, as Cahall, Lehigh's toe
artist. had Just left the fld.
In working the forward pass Lehigh
, as exceptionally weak to-day, only
four out of fourteen attempts sue
ceeding. Lehigh, too. suffered from
penalties to the extent of forty-fve
yards and over-anxiousness on the
part Of the backiield was responsible
for six fumbles.

MISSED GOALS
SPELL DEFEAT
FOR THE NAVY
North Carolina Aggles
Beat the Middies by a
TWO-POint Margin.
fBy Telerl9h 70 The Tribune J

Annapolis, Oct 3O.-By missing goals
after touchdowns on two occasions, the
Midshipmen were defeated by the
North Carolina Agricultural and Me
chanical College to-day, the score being
II 10 ~.
North Carolina scored in each Of the
quarters Of the opening half. and the
Midshipmen in each Of the quarters Of
the last half. Fumbling and blocked
kicks were much in evidence, though
both teams played good, straight foot
ball at times.
The Aggies did not attempt a single
forward pass, while the Navy tried
many varieties of the play. A few
were successful. but gained only few
yards, and they never worked al cru
cial times Still, some Of the new plays
were promising, pass from Blodgett
TO Westpha. being most effective OF
those tried.
There was a strong wind down the
field. and North Carolina had the ad-
vintage of il during most of the game.

holding the ball so long that three Of
his punts were blocked and sending
the bail so low that il did not receive
the help from the wind it might have
and landed in the hands of a Navy
back before the ends were within div
ing distance.
The Aggies did their best work in the
opening quarter, when they received Won
Heimburg's punt on their own l0-yard
line, and carried the ball up the field
10 a touchdown without once losing il.
In the second quarter Bonner got the
ball or Westpha's tumble and ran
thirty yards for touchdown.
In the third quarter Blodgett recov-
cred the ball on the third blocked kick
against Bonner and ran twenty-five
yards for a touchdown. In the final
period the Aggies fumbled the ball
when they tried a rather intricate
double criss-cross play and Martin
seized it and ran sixty yards for a
touchdown. It was the third play Of
the kind he has accomplished this year.
Shortly before the game closed Vail
was called into the game and attempted
a drop kick for goal from the i0-yard
line. The try was blocked.

BY BEATING BADGERS
Wisconsin's Dreaded Machine
Loses TO Stages by One Point.

Chicago, Oct. S0-In one of the
greatest upsets Of recent conference
history, Chicago to-day defeated Wis
consin's dreaded machine by the score
of Ii to 10. A missed goal from touch
down with Eber Simpson kicking ac-
counted for the one point difference,
for each team scored two touchdowns,
the Maroons outplaying the Badgers IN
the finer points and outkicking them
through Russell.
There was much fumbling on both
sides The Badgers, except in one or
two instances, failed to show the strong
interference that has appeared pre-
viously. Wisconsin had far the better
of the forward passes.
Albert Calm, a newcomer in midway
ranks, distinguished himself at half,
and Stages latest power was shown in
the speed of the other substitute backs.
Byers and Meyers were stars. but the
middle positions were not rs we'll taken
care of as was expected.
Some brilliant playing and some ex-
tremely ragged marked the first half.
A costly tumble by Russell paved the
way for the first Wisconsin touchdown,
and the second was the result OF q
