The Oregon Aggies invaded Portland
yesterday and skidded their way to a

ipionship contest between the the state

The Aggies outweighed Oregon about
fifteen pounds to the man. Reardon for

gies plowed through Oregon Is light line
and with the aid of few forward
passes Bissett went over with the Ag

again kicked safely between the goal
sticks. The Aggies made both scores

passes via the Steers to Medley route
lin the fourth quarter and Medley man

down. Steers kicked goal The field was
sloppy and fumbles were frequent. -Four
thousand fans attended the game.
Old Stars Look On.
Five old Oregon men, three OF them
members Of Bezdek Is great team OF last
year, saw the lemon-yellow go down to
| its first defeat in ten years at the hands
of Oregon Agricultural College on
Multnomah field yesterday. Shy Hunt
ington, quarterback on the eleven which
handed Pennsylvania the short end OF
| a l4-to-0 score at Pasadena last New
Years day, held the Oregon end Of the
Myardage chain yesterday, and Bart
Spellmann, guard on the same team, held
one of the watches. Johnny Parsons and
sTick, Malark ey who have seen service
N the Oregon bacl1field under Bezdek
were among the anxious ones on the var
sity bench. Sam Cook, who during l9lz
and 1918. was one of the mainstays III
the Eugene team and who is now IN tho
service at Camp Lewis, also was on the
sidelines.
Display of Color.
1t has been a long time since any
football gabe on Multnomah field
brought forth such a display of color as
was shown in the rival roofing sections
in the bleaehers, along the east side OF
the field While the yell leaders and
their crews kept the 1000 persons in the
stands entertained during the few mo
ments that the ball was not in play,
| it was between halves and after the
final whistle that they staged their big
| play.
The teams were entering the field for
/ the second half when the orange ana
Iblack rooters filed back into their sec
tion and the Oregon yell artists had TO
satisfy themselves with demonstration
from the bleaehers.
Oregon Good Losers.
Following the game, however, the
Ilemon yellow supporters hadNthelr IN
ming and not even defeat dampened
the ardor of their procession, led by the
student band, around the field and out
through the Chapman street gate
I"Once in ten years was the refrain to
which they marched.
Most of the Eugene fans said they re-
gretted more that they could not break

Host the game. Twenty years ago the
Corvallis institution won its first vic

Just as the game was about to start
when it suddenly ceased and the 1000 or
more bleacherites felt right at home sit
