HARVARD NOT CHAMP,
BUT EAST CELEBRATES

NEW YORK, Jan. All the east was
chirping gleefully in chorus today. Per-
haps no New Years event put the fans
In such good mood as Harvard's 7-to-6
victory over Oregon.
In its victory Harvard sort of lost its
identity as a Harvard unit. Capt Billy
Murray's squad is regarded generally as
an eastern team and its triumph is con-
sidered restoration of prestige that was
lost when Pacific coast teams beat Penn
Sylvania and Brown. Just as In the
Princeton and Yale games, the widely
known Mr. Casey on the receiving end OF
forward passes paved the way for the
lone touchdown OF the game.
The battle also gave two substitutes a
chance to rise to lasting fame. Amule-
tine Frank Murrey and Jim Scheerer,
famed pair Of second string glories !;

crowd of 5000.
In the first round Johnny greeted
Shubert with don't use the kidney

bout he was willing to swap stories
with the New Englander. Shubert
was not in a chatting mood and made
the champion step all the time.
Kilbane won the fight but it was
not the Kilbane of old that the New
Years day crowd saw. He was en-
titled to five of the six rounds, with
the first one even, virtually on ac-
count of his ability to tie Shubert in

OREGON BATTLES HARD

PASADENA, Cal, Jan. 2.--For one
year at least that greatly "cussed" and
discussed question of whether eastern
football is superior to the western brand
is settled. 1t was generally conceded by
Pacific coast fans and critics today that
Harvard, in her to victory over Ore
gon here yesterday played all-arnund
superior football, both In tactics and
style of game.
Harvards one touchdown, watch was
enough for victory, was scored as re-
suit Of the brilliant, cagey football by
Crimson backs, which advanced the ball
from Oregon's forty yard line to her
goal line The forward passes which
got the ball across were brilliantly exc
cuted and had the Oregon tackles CROP
ing about insure of themselves. Church
made the touchdown after substantial
gains by the inimitable Eddie Casey.
Harvard's margin of superiority. how
ever, is not great and is so admitted by
the Crimson players themselves. The
players said today they had not had a
harder game this season.
Oregon played a hard, clean game"
was Coach Bob Fishers comment.
Oregon had the ball within striking
distance of the Crimson goal several
times, but lacked the final punch to
score touchdown. Twice the Oregons
resorted to drop kicks, which accounted
for all their points.
The lineup and summary in yester-
days game follow:
