L ast S atu rd ay our varsity met defeat at the hands
of the stro n g \\ illam ette U niversity eleven by the
score 14 to 6. T h e score hardly indicates the closeness
of the gam e. T h e Bearcats did not register u ntil th e
second half, w hen they carried the ball from the
cen ter of the field to o u r ten-yard line and w ere held
till th e fo u rth down when R arey charged in to the line
and slid around th e left end for th e first score. L ater
in th e th ird period L ym an m ade certain victory for
W . U. when he scooped up the ball on a fluke play
and ran th ro u g h a clear field for th e second touchdow n.
Irv in e kicked both goals.
A fter a series of line plunges, end ru n s and a long
forw ard pass L ouis Colby ca rrie d the ball across
W illa m e tte ’s line in the last q u arte r, registering our
only score. Dow nie failed to kick th e goal.
T h is m arked the initial gam e for ou r squad th is
season and each m an did him self credit in his position,
ex cep t for th e num erous and costly fum bles to w hich
we can ju stly cred it the loss of th is gam e. O ur in ­
ability to h an g onto th e pigskin and not the inability
to m ake yardage spelled our defeat. O u r backfield
consistently made long gains th ro u g h W illa m ette’s
line o nly to lose the ball on a fum ble w hen a score
appeared certain .
T h e defensive w ork of our line and the backing up
of th e lin e by our back field was such th a t it w ould
have been a credit to any team in its first gam e. W il­
lam ette found it alm ost im possible to p en etrate our
line. T h ere w as no yardage gained after a tackle was
m ade. In m ost instances th ree m en pinned the r u n ­
n er to th e ground instead of one.
We are confident th a t th e two dozen men tu rn in g out
for practice each evening will give a good account of
them selves in the rem aining gam es on our schedule.
N ex t S atu rd ay th e varsity will play th e O .A .C . F re s h ­
men at C orvallis, an account of w hich will be given
in the n e x t issue of the A m erican.
