Oregon's answering yell was as follow: Osky, wow wow. Whisky, wee wee Olel Mucket Olel varsity Oregonta, Wow! BY RALPH J. 8TAEHLI. Punting- was one phase of the Ore-gon-Washliigton game In which Oregon excelled, 'a review of the game, play by play, shows that Fenton, doing the footwor. for the University of Ore gon, made two punts whlchwere better than 60 yards. These brought his aver fige close to 46 yards. Sutton's aver age was about 35 yards. In the first quarter three punts net ted Fenton an average of a lltle more than 40; In the second quarter, five kicks held up almost to the same stand ard There was one boot of more than 45 In the third, and In the fourth he made one of 55 yards. This footwork had a lot to do with keeping the "Wash ington score down. However, what Oregon gained by Fenton's superior footwork was almost lost by repeated penalties. Oregon lost 45 yards because of off side and 15 yards for hcldlng. Sutton, j.unting for Washington, averaged near E5 yards. The total punting exchange gave Oregon an advantage of approxi mately 100 yards, 40 yards to the good after deducting the loss by penalties. Washington Passe Gainers. Forward passes netted the Univer sity of Washington about 31 yards. Miiler and Sutton negotiated three suc cessful tosses and tried five unsuccess ful ones. Oregon tried three for no gains. The game, play by play, follows: Fenton kicked off. It was a kick designed to go to the side for the re covery by an Oregon man. It went short and was called back. Fenton tried again and, made about 21 yards on another side kick. Washington went three downs in short order, but was unable to gain. Sutton punted back to Bigbee, who wa downed 30 yards from the Oregon goal. Oregon made yardage for the first time. Par sons and Bigbee doing the work. Ore gon got a setback of 15 yards for holding. Fenton punted to Jacquot. - Oregon penalized for off-side. Miller brought the ball four yards nearer the Oregon goal, Shlel added four, but the next play went awry and Sutton punted the ball to Oregon's 20-yard line. Both Teams Work Pont. Oregon returned the ball on a punt to Washington 40-yard line. Jacquot annexed Ave yards for Seattle and Ore gon gave them another five for off side. Oregon held and Washington had to resort to the punt. Sutton punted over the goal from near the middle of the field. 'The ball was car ried out and Malarkey tried a down, annexing four yards. Oregon was- un able to gain and Fenton punted 40 yards. Smith returned to Oregon's 55-yard line. Shlel, along with a penalty against Oregon for another off-side, gave Washington yardage. Then Washing ton received a penalty, but Oregon gave It back right away. Miller tried a fake punt, which net ted seven yards. Forward then gave Portland the first glimpse of the Doble football machine. Miller and Sutton were the perpetrators In both in stances and brought the ball but a few yards from the goal. Miller car ried it over for a touchdown. Smith kicked goal. An exchange of punts followed and the quarter ended with the ball almost on the center line. Score Washington 7, Oregon 0. Second Quarter. Both teams were holding well. Par sons began to show up as the leading Oregon ground-gainer. Washington was held at the start of the pei lod, and Sutton punted over for a touchdown. Oregon's ball oil the 20-yard line. Parsons cut the distance to Washington's side by five yards on the first down. Malarkey and Cornell helped by two yards apiece. Fenton made a beautiful 50-yard punt, which carried the ball far Into a.shington s territory. , Sutton returned to Cornell, who was downed on Oregon's 40-yard line. The exchange of punts and the intervening downs had gained 15 yards for Oregon, to be attributed directly to Fenton punt. Oregon tried a forward pass, which was intercepted by Presley. Play see sawed in the middle of the field. The ball was slightly on Washington's sido when Malarkey cut the distance five yards. Cornell helped work the ball to within 37 yards of the Washington goal. Parsons broke through the right of Washington's line for a touchdown. F'unts were exchanged, and the quarter ended with Washington plowing Ore gon heavily, but still well away from the goal. Score Washington, 7; Oregon, 7. Third Quarter. Following Sutton's kickoff In the third quarter, the ball was kept well in Oregon territory. Parsons could do little against the Washington team. Fenton punted to Washington's 35-yard line. Miller made a good start, but Par sons broke through for a pretty tackle. Sutton punted. Oregon could not gain and drew a penalty for off-side. ' The ball was about 12 yards from the Ore gon goal when Fenton made another pretty kick to the middle of the field. Miller. Jacquot" and Smith tore off some yardage and another off-side net led Washington about 20 yards. Miller and Sutton then executed a successful forward pass, which brought Washing ton within 20 yards of theoal. Miller and Jacquot each gained ground. An other forward resulted in a touchback.

This brought the teams out to the 20 yard line. Oregon held when Washing, ton was held, and resorted to a place kick. Srrfith took Sutton's place at the boot and sent the ball over the goal posts for the winning score. Fenton kicked off and went over the goal line. Jacquot and Miller gained 15 yards.

THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN, POKTLAND, CROWD BIG, DIN LOUD Yells and Antics Add Fitting Touches to Big Game. COLLEGE SPIRIT RUNS RIOT Washington Rooters, in Possession or Oregon's "Goat," Parade It With Due Ceremony "Ore gon Spirit" There, Too. It was some old crowd that saw Washington defeat Oregon 10-7. on Multnomah Field yesterday. The grand stand pulsated with a capacity gath ering of men and women football bugs, and they didn't even try to hold back their enthusiasm. ' Almost every other coat lapel showed a yellow Oregon chrysanthemum, though there was a goodly sprinkling of the purple and gold colors of Wash ington, at that. As for those neutral souls who go to a game without their minds made up on either Bide, just to see the sport "for the sport's sake," there weren't any. Not after Wash ington had scored first, and Oregon -Oregon Player Age. Ht. Wt. Bradshaw 23 COO 165 Hall -23 4.1 176 . Fenton 23 6.2 192 Caufield S3 6.1 185 .

Ml' had tied It up' by Parson's sensational dash through four tacklers, anyway. After that particular moment, the grandstand as a whole became openly, avowedly, enthusiastically and wholly foe Oregon. The Washington, faction became as if it were not. The game little halfback's scrappy, plucky run crystalized sentiment for the lemon yellow. Bleacher Enthusiasm High. Over In the bleachers that lined the east and north sides of the field, how ever, was where the enthusiasm ran its own free way. Oregon had a dou ble section directly across from the grandstand. while the Washington rooters, too numerous for the quarters originally assigned them next to Ore gon, took the bleachers beyond the north goal. Here in their respective locations the two sides yelled and shouted, sang, rooted, roared, yelped, sky-rocketed, kl-zipped, booed, shrieked and howled with all the fiery partisan ship of college students. From the standpoint of yelling, the Washingtonians had the better of It. There was more "body" to their tones, so to speak, and they had a wider va riety of selections. When they were not giving a first-class imitation of Mr. Vesuivus with a tin whisle tied to It, they were strangely remindful of sev eral hundred coyotes cooped up in a dry coulee and yelling for help, if not of an equal number, or more, of tim ber wolves enlisted actively in a cam paign for state-wide prohibition. Oregos Yell Effective. Let this not be taken as meaning that Oregon did not make any noise. Far be it from such. They did: they cer tainly did! The din from the Oregon section was like unto the roar ot a mul titude of lions on many occasions. The Oregon yell-leader had trained his fol lowers in a peculiar variation of the locomotive yell, which began with a low, gulpy sort of growl effect and wafted its way into high C. repeated three times, which was especially ef fective. Bach college had its own band. Whatever might be said by the musical critic relative to the quality of the chords and choruses of said bands, they aided materially in sustaining the racket at all times. Though Oregon ran a close second, the Washington rooters are clearly en titled to the All-Northwest bug cham pionship for their antics In the interval between halves and prior thereto. The second the referee's whistle suspended hostilities the whole section of Wash ingtonians leaped for the open, and fell into a lockstep serpentine. The line was headed by the justly genial and popular Washington hook, accredited by student tradition with having ended the long previous period of lean years, and made possible the five successive championships. The hook was well guarded against possible attack by the Oregon cohorts. After trying to burn up part of the field and nearly succeeding, shooting bombs through stovepipes into the NOVEMBER 16, )13. i-.iibient, and performing similarly en-t-jitalning "stunts,," the rooters ex iib'.tod Klcdo. their justly celebrated grct. This charming, little beast was '.?ckl out In Oregon colors, the In nuendo being that Washington was In j full ownership and possession of the Oregon goat. j Not a small part of the perform 1 ante was the parade of. five blanket ' bedecked captains of various Washing ton teams. The purpose of this parade apparently was to impress upon the Oregon students the fact that Washing ton had cleaned up the championship five times in succession, counting the game under way as already won. It succeeded very amiably. After the Washinstonians had re tired, "Oregon Spirit" was led on the field by the Oregon section. "Ore gon Spirit" was something in a' big wooden box. After various ceremonies of adoration, the spirit was revealed as a tiny girl, who clung to the 'neck of the chief of the rooters as she was carried off the field to the arms of her mother. - FERRY DELAYS EXTHCSIASTS Vancouver Delegation Unable to Cross Columbia at One Time. VANCOUVER, Wash., Nov. 15. (Spe cial.) When the 1:05 o'clock ferry pulled out from the Washington shore today, she had aboard nearly 300 pas sengers and 17 .automobiles, in addi tion to wood wagons and an auto-truck. On the slip were left three automobiles, loaded with people bound for the. Washington-Oregon football game on Mult nomah Field. This is. a frequent oc currence, becoming more common as the traffic between Portland and Van couver increases. "Hap" Miller, son -2 Mr. and Mrs. A. L. .Miller, of this cit.r, Is a Vancouver boy, and he played four years on the local high school team, without losing five minutes' play. Ho is one of the three stars on the Washington team this year. "Chuck" Taylor, 'son of Dr. and Mrs N. J. Taylor, famous captain of the Oregon team two years ago, is a resi - dent of Vancouver, and there are sev- erai otner star players rrom van- couver. ' . Probably 400 went from here today to attend the game. Statements of the Rival Coaches BT HUGO BEZDEK. (University of Oregon.) Oregon finally has found itself. 1 have been striving hard all year to make the men fight hard, to make that old "Oregon spirit" manifest Itself in the playing on the field. And today 1 am glad to say that it was there in wholesale quantities. The campaign, from an Oregon stand point might be compared to a snowball, which, started at the top of the moun tain, gathers size and speed as it pro gresses in its journey. We gave AVashington a stiff battle today. Kach team made one touchdown and each had its chance at a goal from the field. Washington was successful In making its goal count, while we did not. That's the difference between the teams as I see it. But, wait until next year. The Oregon eleven gradually is work ing up its strength and spirit and 1 predict Washington's defeat by Oregon in 1914. A move is on foot to make the Oregon-Washington game an annual fea ture in Portland, and I hope so. for 1 want to bring about Washington's downfall on this same Multnomah grid Iron. Fenton's punting was wonderful, and so was the great all-around exhibition put on by Johnny Parsons. Bradshaw was a team In himself on defense and all the boys did well. We are coming down again to give the Multnomah Club a. .stiff battle on Thanksgiving day. RGHT HARD BUT GLEAN I'ORTUS BAXTER SVYS GAME MOST DESPERATE IN NORTHWEST. Seattle Writer Gives Much Credit for Victor? to Yoasg Smith's Toe and Miller's Fierce Flemgcs. BT FORTUS BAXTER. (Sporting Editor Seattle Fost-Intelllgencer.) Jvever before in the history of the Pa clflc Northwest Intercollegiate Confer ence has a more1 desperate yet clean battle been waged than was seen in Portland yesterday on Multnomah Field by u. crowd of 7000, when Gllmour Do- bie'3 undefeated champions, represent ing the University of Washington, locked horns with the warriors from the University of Oregon. In the final minutes of the battle Washington was the better team, but to win by a score of 10 to 7 it was necessary for young Charlie Smith, he of the powerful un deroinnlns. to drive the ball over the bar from a place kick on Oregon's 22 yard line. Despite the fact that the play was on foreign territory, and the fate of the, came hung on that one kick, the son of Lou Smith, of Auburn, ex-Sheriff of Kins: County, was as cool as If he were out for a little practice. The mo ment the ball was snapped back ho sized up the situation and with the Oregon men charging down on him at full tilt, the fastest aggregation in the entire conference, he booted the pig skin straight as a die over, the bar al most midway between the uprights. There was truth in the Oregon cry that Washington was up against the real thing at last. The desperate game played by Ore gon in the first half did not take the heart out of Coble's "old women" in the least. They shook out their curls, tied their apron strings a little tighter and went In harder. finally, Oregon was compelled to punt, and Washington got the ball near the center of the field. Believe me, this fellow Miller, with his bum ankle, was some demon. I will say right here" that In all the football I have seen no halfback has ever played a greater game than Miller put up on Multnomah Field today. He was good for gains nearly every time he carried the ball. Hoquiam Held to Tie. OLYMPIA. Wash.. Nov. 15. (Special.) Olympia High School held Hoquiam 1 to a 0-to-0 tie today, contrary to the opinion of dopesters w-ho saw an easy winner in the Grays Harbor team, Hoquiam took the offensive at all stages, at one time placing the ball on ' Olympla's two-yard line. BT GILUOIR DOBIE. (University of Washington.) It was a wonderful game from start to finish. Played by good teams and marked by the absence of "flukes." ' Parsons 1b a wonderful player. Hi run was well earned, for every man on my team should have had him as he went through. The game bears out my assertion that Oregon has been underrated and Wash ington overrated. Oregon has a heavy, fast line behind which are a fast back field quartet. No coach could want anything more. Knowing that, I had my team work with the expectation that something of the sort would happen. It would In deed have been remarkable had not the Oregon eleven, developed into an ideal ly speedy team, done something of the sort. Cornell and Parsons are the sort of men from whom that style must be watched for by the opposing team. However, I think our jighter team, with its altered lineup, made an ex cellent showing. We were handlcaped on the punting immeasurably, as Sut ton was a makeshift at kicking. Every thing In connection with the game was well handled. NTatry 10, Penn State 0. ANNAPOLIS. Mi, Nov. 15. Penn State College held the Navy to a 10-to-0 score- here today and the game was not one in which Navy supporters can find much comfort. VICTORY DESERVED, THINKS SWEETLAND Management of Game Lauded by Coach of Willamette University. LATE START IS DEPLORED Contest Especially Pleasing to Ex ponent or Modern Football Run of Parsons Not Mere Liuck. Fenton's Punts Worthy. BT DR. G. J. SWEETLAND, JR., (Coach o Willamette University Teams.) On one of the finest fields in. the country, backed up by an immense crowd gathered from all points in the Northwest, a battle royal was staged at the Multnomah Club arena yester day. The field, from a playing standpoint, was fair to both teams. The crowd, while the Oregon sympathizers domi nated, was as sportsmanlike as ever assembled at any game. The players of both teams seemed to absorb the spirit of their environments, and played splendid, clean, hard football. This contest was a marked triumph to all those connected with the staffing of the game. Superintendent Walker, of the Multnomah Club; Graduate Man agers Walker, of Oregon, and Horr. of the University of "Washington, espe cially are deserving of praise for the handling of an almost unlimited amount of detail labor that is requi site to make such an event a success. Late Start IncnnvenlenceN. The game was near a quarter of an hour late in starting, and now comes up one thing that the writer has no ticed in about nine-tenths of the foot ball games he htis attended, and thut Is, why are not these games started on time? Among the thousands at tending the game yesterday a consid erable number were seriously incon venienced by this loss of time, this be ing especially true of some from out side the city of Portland. The handling of this game was the highest compliment that could be paid to any set of officials. anl these offi cials had two teams under them that played fine, hard and, best of all. clein football. There were penalties, but none of these had any especial bearing on the score, as they were handed out near the middle of the field, both teams becoming more re spectful of infringements as they neared the goal linfS. The writer will admit, by their showing yesterday, that the Washing ton team is a stronger one th:in he be lieved and. that they were deserving of their victory in every way. In pre dicting that Oregon would win the game I believed, as Is generally the case, the heavier line wins over a little more wright in the backfield. Fenton's Work Worthy. The game was especially pleasing to any exponent of modern football, and showed clearly the wonderful value of the two main assets in this kind of : game that of kicking and forward passing. Fenton's punting was of such an order thut it went a long way toward offsetting Washington's supe rior attack. When one reflects what Oregon might have done with Fenton out and a weak or even a fair kicker in his place they will glvo Oregon's punter full credit. Regarding the f orward-passlr.s- game: Two forward passes In quick succes sion gave the Washington team their touchdown. The northern team is ' clever at the passing game and seems year after year in a crisis to be able to draw on some play by the airline route to come to their rescue and win. I am not one of those who call Par sons' run lucky any more than 1 con sider It fair to detract from a team when It scores on a fumbled punt. In the case of the scoring by Parsons there were men there to stop him; it was their business solely to do this, but they didn't. If a team scores on a fumbled punt, the man whose duty on this play is to catch the ball falls to play his part, and a man alert enough to take advantage of such a play wins for his team. . It now looks as If Roscoe Fawcett was right when he predicted before the season opened that Washington would win another championship. 1 thought the title was destined to come to Oregon, but as It is not to be so, all honor to the University of Washington team.
