Score on Beavers

Presenting an offensive that swept
the fighting o. A. G.. men off their
feet and defense that was impreg-
nable to the attack of the Beavers,
the State College Cougars last Sat-
urday rang up a % to victory over
the eleven from Oregon Agricultural
College. 1t was satisfying morsel
for the old grads who assembled in
scores to witness the Homecoming
day attractions and swept away every
iota of gloom that had pervaded the
Cougar camp since the California
game of the Saturday previous. At
the same time it completely yindicat-
ed the coach and athletic director
for their action in benching, Just
previous to the game, two expert
enced players who were charged with
INSTRUMENTATION. The action was
taken in the interests of clean sports
manship and team harmony and the
result was one of the most perfect
football machines ever seen in ac-
ton, with every man in every play.
giving his all for the old school and
oblivious to personal distinction.
From the first whistle the tremen-
dous strength of the Cougar offense
asserted itself and a steady march
OF 80 yards down the field following
tho n A n Lyfaly- ho G,ix,
son and Gray her first touchdown
within six minutes. After two first
downs from the w. S. c. 20-yard line
a penalty interrupted the march mo-
mentarily, but the old fighting spirit
predominated and the % yards nee
essary for first down proved no OBJ
stacle. Six straight first downs put
the ball over the line and from that
time on the result of the game was
never in doubt, the only question be-
ing the size of the score piled up by
the rejuvinated Cougar machine.
Every man on the w. S. C. team
played a brand of football that
brought JOY to the hearts OF the
coach and fans, the linemen opened
huge holes for the backfield and the
men behind the line plowed through
those holes for substantial gains.
From end to end the line played stel-
lar football and not man of the
seven failed to outcharge his oppo-
nent and to get him out of the way
when the Staters held the ball.
In the absence of Jenne, Dunton
was called upon to take care of the
punting department of the game and
proved himself an adept toe artist.
His spirals had the necessary dis
lance, yet were high enough to en-
able the ends to cover the ball and
down the receiver in his tracks.
While it would be unfair to the
other players to attempt to pick stars
from the Saturday game, the work
Of ellis at fullback, Sax at quarter,
Captain Hamilton at tackle and Dun
lap at center could not have been
improved upon.

passing game, getting away with six

Cougar yardage from scrimmage to-
tailed 279 yards, with 10 first downs.
