footers battled to seven-seven tie
after four quarters of a quality OF
football that would win applause on
any gridiron 1t was truly battle
of the giants, with both teams dis
playing an offensive ability that was
little short of marvellous and defen-
sive play that was nearly as out
standing.
Oregon's display of strength came
as more or less of surprise to the
fans who formed their deductions
from the 80 to drubbing admin

comparison with the / 4 to 0 win of
the Californians over the Cougars.

Oregon coach made no effort to con-
ceal his citation at the result of the
game, giving his own men full credit
for a remarkable comeback" and
the Cougars credit for playing
championship football
Coach WEIGH is out with big
boost for the Oregon backfield,
which, he says, has as great a driv-
ing power as any he has seen in ac-
tion on Rogers field, and made a
far better showing than in any of
their previous games this year.
With Hall Chapman playing at
quarter to guide the offense, with
Latham at full and King, Gram and
Johnson at halfback positions, the
Webfooters have a backfield COM
bination that will win the big ma
jority of its games if the standard
of the w. S. C. game is maintained.
Oregon proved adept at the for

with Chapman and Latham featur-
