14 THE MORNING OREGONIAN, FRIDAJ, JANUARY 2. 1920. EUGENE LADS LOSE HEART-BREAKING TILT Two Droplocks Count for Lemon-Yellow Squad.' EASTERNERS USE PASSES Only Score of Cambridge Eleven Follows Aerial CJainby Casey. Oregon, Earns Honors. BT HARRY M. GRAYSON. PASADENA, Cal.. Jan. 1. (Special.) Tn one of the greatest football games ever played, and with 35,000 football fans howling their heads off, the University of Oregon lost a heart breaking game to Harvard university this afternoon. The score was Har vard 7, Oregon 6. Two dropkicks shooting squarely between the posts in the .first and second quarters propelled by Bill Steers and "Skeeter" Manerud tell the etory of the lemon-yellow six points. Two long forward passes with the ball landing in the waiting arms of Eddie Casey, ail-American right half back, a 14-yard run around Oregon's right end by Freddy Church- In the second quarter and the goal that fol lowed relates how the Massachusetts men registered their only touchdown. Conjure a picture of Bill Steers standing on Harvard's 20-yard line late in . the fourth quarter. The score ts 7 to 6 in favor of the easterners. Previously Bill had dropped one over from the 30-yard line for the first marker of the gruelling contest. If he succeeds this time, Oregon will be leading 3 to 7. It is late in the game there are but four minutes more to be played and if The Dalles boy's boot goes true the Eugene lads are all but assured of a victory. Droiiklrka Fall to Count. Picture Woods, huge Cambridge guard, smashing through the line and blocking the kick and then' you see an Oregon man recover. Harvard holds and now you gaze upon "Skeeter" Manerud dropping back to the 20 ard line for another try. You see the ball rise high in the air. From the stands, from every angle it ap pears as if the kick is true. The crowd strictly pro-Oregon is wild. But the sight of crimson men pat ting one another on the shoulder in stantly tells the trained eye that the dropkick had failed by inches. Never again will either William II. Steers of The Dalles, Or., or Clif ford Manerud of Eugene, have such a wonderful opportunity to lick a great Harvard machine. Steers' kick, of course, was' blocked. Manerud's missed by a frog's hair. The two kids are heartbroken tonight over their misfortune. Harvard la Outplayed. Write the name of every Lemon Yellow boy down in the book of fame. Every single man covered himself with glory. Oregon outplayed their beefy opponents in every department of the game save the aerial style of play. And the Lane county gladia tors might have outfoxed them at that, had there been occasion for them to use it more often. The ball was In Harvard's terri tory most of the time. Setting aside their drive which put the ball over the goal line firmly held by Fred Church, Bob Fisher's foxy footballers threatened but once. And it was then that the Oregon line made good. From Anderson on the right to Howard on the left the Oregonians fought desperately. After Manrrud's failure to win for his club, our boys, it seemed, became momentarily disheartened. The crimson attack, led by Arnold Horween, who stood out most bril liantly for Harvard, starting on its own 20-yard line commenced a steady march down the field. With left half back Arnold Horween carrying the ball every other time and with the third successfully negotiated forward pass into Kddy Casey's arms giving them a ten-yard gain.' Har vard made first down five times in rapid succession. A. Horween Gains JtO Yeardn. Arnold Horween, dashing 30 yards en an off tackle play, placed the ball on the four-yard line. Harvard had four downs in which to score their second touchdown by negotiating four yards. Did the crimson make the grade? Not by a jugful, or two jugfuls. "Brick" Leslie. Carl Mautz, BaJi" AYilliams, "Spike" Leslie and Ken Bartlett gritted their teeth and put up the greatest exhibition of defense ever seen on the Pacific coast. Arnold Horween and Church, twice each, charged that stone wail; between them they made two yards. Oregon held on the two-yard line. Just as Arnold Horween had had his nose poked " into the dirt for the fourth down and no gain, the timekeeper's whistle ended one of the greatest games of football ever played. Oregon made 297 yards from scrim mage against 162 for Harvard. But the crimson made 52 yards from suc cessfully negotiated forward passes, which brings their total yardage up to 214. Both teams made first down 16 times. Harvard's total again being swelled via the aerial route, for four of her firBt downs came through the ciouds on that many long forward passes, with Casey on the receiving end of each. . Casey Spills Bean. Failure to keep Casey covered at all times cost Oregon the football game. It was this same peculiar pass which beat Yale and tied Princeton. Steers was knocked crazier than a loon in the midst of the second quarter, .. Manerud filling his shoes in a capable manner. The big Oregon star resumed operations to start the final quarter, Manerud taking Vince Jacobberger's place at left halfback. Although Eddie Casey proved to be . all what it was said he was. Steers, Captain Everett Brandenburg and Hollis Huntington outplayed him. If he had not been left unprotected on the four forward passes, with which he got away, he would have failed dismally as a scintillating player. The fvatick Irishman is a shifty bird on the order of "Tuffy" Conn, who used to play with the Oregon Aggies. Arnold Horween, as said previously, was the outstanding Har vard star. In my opinion, Arnold Horween and Hollis Huntington played more brilliantly than any other pair of pastimera on the lot. Huntington was always good for from 4 to 15 yards and was called tipon repeatedly. He made 150 yards from smrlmmage, something hereto fore unheard of. Ralph Horween dis located his left shoulder early in the game and iwas replaced by Church. Harvard' entered ' the field at 2:25 P. M. Oregon followed a minute later. The bleachers were filled at this time. Harvard went through a few signals and went to their bench. Oregon re mained on the field waiting for the game to be called.

When the Harvard team appeared on the field today ahead of its opponents, Oregon, for the annual east versus west football classic here, the men were greeted by a yell from the throats of' many thousand spectators, waiting to see the greatest event of the southern California years of sports. Every one of the 30,06!) seats on the field was sold far in advance ot the hour of the game, and when the Tournament of Roses parade ended shortly after noon the crowds began streaming through the gates, and soon the lemon and yellow of Oregon were conspicuous in the east stands, while the colors of Harvard were massed across the way. The sun, obscured all morning by a soft haze that had kept the temper ature down, began to show through Just as the teams ran out. but the morning had been bo cool that the day was considered "Harvard weath er" rather than Oregon weather. The field, green turf, lined freshly with white, was in the best possible shape. .Two bands, massed in the corners of the bleachers, entertained ' the crowd during the hour of waiting. One band was composed of ex-service men all clad in the khaki of their war experience, while the other, an organization maintained by the Elks of Pasadena, was garbed In white. Harvard took the field at 1:1 and started passing the ball in a little light practice. Fifteen marathon runners, partici pants in 9. modified marathon staged by the Los Angeles Express and a Pasadena paper, finished "under the south goal after running the length of the field. They came in well grouped, with an interval of less than three minutes between the winner and the last man. Then an airplane soared over the field and dropped a couple of small parachutes adorned with the colors of the opposing teams. The officials took the field and ex amined two new footballs sent out for use. The airplane swooped low over the field, dropped a football and took the air again with a graceful sweep, just clearing the south stands far enough to make the nervous dodge. A t 2:15 the Harvard squad retired and at 2:20 Oregon took the field. A moment later Oregon retired again and the officials appeared; in deference to the rather warm atmos phere although the sun was again obscured by a light haze they re moved their coats and stood forth in light shirts, cute little black bow ties and cream-colored flannel trousers. By this time the incoming crowds were so jammed in the runways in front of the stands that the guards counseled together and then dropped the side ropes for a few minutes to expedite the seating process so that the start of the game would not be delayed. At 2:27 Harvard returned to the field and was greeted with a whole hearted roar of cheers from both sides An Instant later Oregon came out and got an equally warm reception, followed by yells from the Harvard side and the Oregon side, where root ers were massed. A Harvard grad uate, wearing a white sweater wltb a big "H" and swaying a sparsely thatched head In unison with bis shouts, led his rooters in cheering. At 2:30 the guards ordered "every body off," and the motion picture men by legions picked up their cameras and retreated to other strategic posi tions. Every seat was filled except one small reserved block on the Oregon side and the runways were still filled with a moving mass of eager enthu siasts.

Spectators sitting In the stands directly overlooking the play gave Harvard a terrific "booing." but Ref eree Varnell afterward said that there was no intentional roughing. Fortunate lc proved for Oregon that she still boasted one of the redoubt able Huntington brothers. Playing his last game lor Alma Mater. Hollis today ushered out his gridiron career in the same brilliant manner that pulled the curtains on the career of his brother "Shy" against Pennsy three years ago. Huntington Fills Cap. Huntington neemed to realize thi-.t Steers' absence from the lineup would require a .little extra steam. Tim after time he ripped through the heavy Harvard line, smashed off tackle .or tore around ends for long gains. There seemed to be no stop ping his vicious assaults despite the heft of the Harvard forward line. Oregon scored the second three points late In the second quarter on a dropkick by the midget Manerude, from the 30-yard line, his one suc cessful try out of three or four at tempts during the game. This score was made possible by a 10-yard gain of left end by Bran denburg and several gains of from 6 to 15 yards by Huntington. Kach side drew a 15-yard penalty for holding just prior to the kick, so this did not affect the yardage. The half ended with the score 7-6 In Harvard's favor, and the ball in Ore gon's possession in midfield. An analysis of the yardage gained by the teams In the fir3t half shows how brilliant was the performance of the western champions against the undefeated eleven of the great Atlan tic triumvirate. By quick shifts, great drives and powerful Interference, Ore gon advanced the ball 198 yards from scrimmage in the first two periods as against 77 yards for Harvard. Ruling Spoils Pass. Oregon gained no yardage from forward passes, however, while Har vard successfully completed two for a total gain of 30 yards. In the entire four quarters Oregon completed only one forward pass, and a ruling of the officials that time had ended for the end of the first quarter took this away from them, and perhaps in the light of events cost Oregon the vic tory. A delay of two or three seconds in the time would have given Oregon the ball on Harvard's 10-yard line for first down. However, Oregon converted the yardage into three points a couple of minutes later when ' play again was resumed in the second quarter as hereinbefore related. Neither team scored In the third quarter, which was featured by an other successful' forward pass of 13 yards from Murray to Casey. A poor punt by Manerud almost proved costly to Oregon, but Church countered with a weak orthopedic offering from the Harvard side, so honors remained even. Captain Brandenburg relied on Les lie for his punting during the last few exchanges In the third period, until the fourth quarter when Quarterback Steers returned to the game amidst much cheering from the frenzied Ore gon rooting section. It Irk Falls Short. The fourth quarter developed Into one of the most thrilling In-minute periods'of football In the history of coast football. Twice Oregon, in the person of Steers and Manerud, es sayed dropkicks from within the Har vard 25-yard line, either one of which would have brought victory to stand ards of the west: Steers' kick was blocked and recovered by Oregon, while Manerud's missed the nearest goal post by a scant few feet. Oregon supporters In the stands were praying and pulling for an at tempt at a forward pass in the shadow" of the Crimson goals, remem bering that the passing game brought about the undoing of Penn in 1916, The few pasties attempted by Oregon today, however, proved about as use ful as a glass eye to the business end of a set of binoculars. "Shy" Relies on Kick. Tn view of the fact that Steers and Manerud had been successful in six out of eight drop kick attempts In the conference championship games of the last fall. Coach Huntington probably was correct In his tactics. Coach "Shy" told me afterwards he was afraid his men would lose the ball on an attempted pass, and he felt certain Steers or Manerud woufd be able to score via the drop kick route. Defeat or no defeat. Coach Huntington showed himself a 'real mlracls man by the showing of his men against Harvard. Following the failure to score by the two drop kicks In the fourth quarter, the Oregon athletes seemed to lose hope and permitted Harvard to advance the ball from her own 20 yard -line the entire length of the field to the six-inch line, where Oregon- made a brilliant stand and actu ally wrested the ball from the enemy. Oregon Une Holds. Four .times Arnold Horween. 197 pound halfback, and Church battered at the Oregon guards' and tackles within the four-yard line, and four times Messrs. Bartlett and Leslie and Mautz and Williams drove them back or checked them dead in their tracks. It was a remarkable stand of a tired but courageous band of men against appalling odds, for at this Juncture Harvard had almost an entire team of fresh men in the line-up, every man practically as good as bis predecessor. Arnold Horween proved the big star foe Harvard In actual yardage ' from scrimmage- and not Casey or Murray. Havard made first down five times in the march down the field and Horween carried the ball in nearly every gain. His longest gain was one for 30 yards around right end. advancing the ball to the Oregon four-yard line. . In the entire game Harvard gained only 162 yards from srimmage against Oregon's 197. and 75 yards of Har vad's total was gained in the last period. HnBtlngton Seta Record. In the four periods Harvard com pleted four forward passes for a total of 52 yards. Oregon gained no yard age from aerial offense. Oregon made 16 first downs from scrimmage and Harvard 12. Huntington, I believe, established a coast record in the mat ter of individual yardage gained. So much for the statistics. "It was a toutfh one to lose," said Coach Huntington after the battle. "I cannot but feel very much dis appointed, but my men played very courageously against odds. The loss of Steers hurt us more than did the injury to Fullback Horween of Har vard, because we had few reserves. Manerud played a fine game, but If anything had happened to him we would have been stumped." "Too many reserves for us." ex plained Trainer Hayward. "Harvard kept sending in fresh men In the sec ond half until Coach Fisher must have used 20 men, all of his big strapping giants. We lost, but we put up a great fight and I think we outplayed Harvard." All Sections Reprene nted. Climatically the day was ideal and the crowd of more than 30,000 prob ably the largest that ever witnessed a football game on the Pacific coast. "The gent" who had the pickpocket privileges must have made a killing. Harvard had a throng of backers in the stands and there was plenty of Crimson color In the air. Spectators were assembled not alone from Mack Sennett's flapper spangled beaches hereabouts, but from Boston's classic bootleg sections, from the thug orchards of Chicago, from the home of the Mard-i Gras. All sections of the United States had proper representation in the great spectacle staged today as the feature of Pasadena's midwinter rose tournament.
