from the field by Steers and Manerud
The versatile attack of the Eastern
ers, based on smashing straight football
tactics, but marked with forward
passes, tricks and puIits, was met by
stalwart defense from Oregon. The
fighting qualities of the Western de-
tenders were eXemplified to the last
minute Of play, when Harvard, sepa-
rated 'by inches from a second touch
down, was held for downs. Harvard's
points We're scored on u touchdown by
Church and a goal kicked by A. Hor-
ween. Steers. the bright star of the
Oregon team. kicked oue goal from the
field, and Manerud, who replaced him
later in the game, again sent the ball
between the goal posts for a field goal.
All the scoring was in the second
period.

rud rlvaled Steers as stars of the Ore
o aggregation. The support given by
their teammates was of the hest.
Steers bucked the line in a ann
that made him the ~favorfte of the Ore
gon supporters, n when he was forced
out by an injury and Manerud went in,
the latter ran like a deer, pupted in a
remarkable style, considering his small
size and weight, and bucked the line
so strongly that he purst through re-
peatedly.
HorWeens Star.
For Harvard the Horweens were the
particular stars, while Eddie Casey,
their teanlmate back of the line, worked
hard and successfully. There vas no
development of any particular style of
play, each team using the forward pass,
punts, line formations, u few trick plays
and all other usual tactics.
Harvard's victory probably was due
as much to superior team work, based
on experience gained IN Eastern fields,
as to any single factor. Their superior
weight seemed to nave little to do with
it, Judging from the way their oppo-
nents held the Crimson's line smashes.
Speed was equally divided. the backs Of
the opposing teams seeming to. get over
the ground with equal facility. In inter-
ference and blocking the Fasteners had
asshade the better of II, according to
press experts, but the teams were so
evenly matched that there was little
choice in any particular.
The greatest crowd ever assembled at
Tournament park was gathered for the
event. The park seated more thar 80
600 spectators and general admissions
for standing room only ran up the at
tendance to approximately 35, 900, &C
oording to officials. The day was per-
feet, a slight haze everlasting the sun.
but not enough to obscure the view of
the field from any seat. although enough
to prevent heat exhaustion from trou-
bling the players.
