WASHINGTON AND L. OF O.
(Continued from pags i.)

(Continued from paEs ~
Four times the Washington backs
smote the Oregon forwards. Four
times they rammed and bucked and
plunged with all the power that hu-
man flesh and bone and sinew could
give them to smash path through.
Four times they tried, and four
times the painting forwards threw
them back. Once Washington pene-
trated to the one-yard line. Ziel did
than on the third attempt. But fourth
down, one yard and ouchdown to go,
they might as well have wasted their
strength on wall of concrete. This
final smash was aimed at the Oregon
left tackle, Cogs Campbell, with Han
ley carrying the ball. Out of the ruck
and tangle of scrimmage, Referee Var
rell pred the ball The Washington
back had actually been thrown back
half yard--it was Oregons ball on
downs on her y yard line.
In four tries Washington had net
ted a scant yard and a half. Thus
did the men of Oregon respond in the
moment of crisis in a magnificent
fighting stand.
Chapman's punt out of danger went
to Washington's 3S-yard line. From
there Washington again marched to
the Oregon 1S-yard mark, but then
came a break, and once more Oregon
was saved.
Ziel fumbled on smash off-tacklc
An oregon man dived for the bal, but
it eluded him and rolled slowly to-
ward the sidelines.
1t just happened that the two lines
We're so interlocked and tangled up
that nobody could pry himself out of !
the heap to get it. Finally from be- !
hind the Oregon line Campbell and !
Ward Johnson together threw them
selves on it.
1t actually seemed to be all of five
minutes as that slowly rolling ball re-
mained there in open sight, though is
was only a second.
All this happened in the third quar-
ter. In the fourth quarter Washing
ton again threatened, this time on a
break against Oregon. Chapman mis-
Judged a bouncing punt by Albeit 1t
bounced to the five-yard line, hesitat-
ed, seemed about to stay there, then
as Chapman clutched at it, took
mound that would have rolled it over
the goal line for n touchback.
But Chapman in his clutch at it Just
touched ii and it bounded in a new di-
rection, right at Westron of Washing
ton, who fell on it.
There you were, Washington's ball
on the Oregon eight yard line, and
four tries for a touchdown. But I
Daley of Washington pulled bit OF
poor strategy by forward passing on
he first down. The ball, out of reach
Of the receiver, fell in the end zone for

Oregon's bali on the 20 /

sonians had breathing spell ?
All the time the score had remained {
to in Oregon's favor, following /
chapman's second and successful I

Washington kept threatening by 8

coring results. And the fourth quar- -
er was well under way Z
An exchange of punts followed and q

The Washington stands were i'm
