Los Angeles, Jan. 1.-The grea
Orexon squad kicked the vain" ou'
of Pennsylvania and placed Western
football on the highest pedestal OF
the world to look upon and talk about
at Tournament Park, Pasadena. today
That IA to 0 score will cause mucf
amazement and speculation among
our Eastern friends who are prone tt
believe that we raise nothing blu
casabas and cowboys west of the
Rockies.
'.Not an alibi to our names" said
Coach Folwell after the wonderful ex-
hibitlon. 1--WE ran into a batch OF
football that was a cross between 8
xip of forked lightning and the roll
of fast freight. We were licked by
a better team: just let it go at that.
And as many of the Blue and Red
appeared willing to. 'iet 1t go at that
we opine there will be no arguments.
1t was the cleanest OF clean foot
ball that won for the Eugene boys.
Two touchdowns. one by Tegart and
one by that grand all-around man of
the Western gridiron, Shy" Hunting
ton. with both goals kicked by the
sterling fullback, Parsons.
It was the greatest amateur sport
ever staged In the West, and it was
witnessed by the greatest gathering
that ever saw a football game in Call
fornia, The seating capacity Of the
park was $4,000 and with the over
dow standing on every available foot
OF space, 1t is conservatively estimated
that $4,000 people saw the holiday
event.
The field scene was a picture for a
eu%0 tot afrt
never fade from the minds of those
who saw it. Tournament Park stands
in the shadows of the Sierras, at the
very foot of Mount Low and Mount
Wilson. A golden glow of sun COW
cred the multitude, and the picture
was one of neyer-ending color.
The playing field was covered with
turf. the green grass being as care
fully clipped and pruned as any mil
lionaire's lawn. The chalk lines
marking the yards had sifted so deep
that they scarcely were discernible 10
the naked eye from the stands. With
the finiah of the famous tournament
of roses at noon the crowd began 10
rush through the gates at Tournament
Park.
