T h is gam e was the hardest fought and the most spectacular contest staged here in m any seasons. It has been a long tim e since we have seen anybody hit the line as hard and tear around the end with as m uch speed and force as did C aptain E d er last S a tu r day. H e set the pace and his team m ates followed w ith such w onderful force the O regon team w asd riv e n back w ithin scoring distance several tim es. Choate at fullback, Sam pson, left half, and B ettles, q u arter, all dashed into the line and around the ends w ith all the fierceness of the big college stars. T h e in itial score of the gam e was m ade in the second q u arte r. O ur backfield men rushed th e ball to O re g o n ’s 30 yard line w here E der executed a p retty place k ick . T h e half ended 3 to 0 in our favor. L ate in th e th ird q u arte r Chem aw a was penalized all of the distance b u t cue yard from the goal line. On th e second ru sh O regon carried th e ball under our goal posts, m aking th e score 7 to 3. T h e fo u rth q u a rte r opened w ith the ball in O reg o n ’s possession and w ith such speed and fierceness we have not w itnessed here in years, line bucks, end ru n s, and tackles were m ade th a t has p u t this gam e far above any we have seen here before. O regon steadily carried th e ball to o u r 20 yard line b u t were su d d en ly stopped. H ere C hem aw a formed a defense th a t O regon was unable to p en etrate and lost th e ball o n dow ns T hen began th e aerial and line attack th a t will long be rem em bered bv those who w itnessed th is gam e. T h e ends pulled passes out of th e air and the backs charged th ro u g h th e holes paved by o u r lin e on a steady m arch to th e freshm en goal N ot for a second did they sto p till B ettles plow ed th ro u g h th e line for the final score. T h e gam e ended 10 to 7. O nly o u r old tim ers can rem em ber so far back w hen we had a line whose w ork had m ore effect on lxith the offense and the defense and a back field th at had m ore punch than those th a t defended Chemaw’a ’s goal last S a tu rd a y . M artin Colby and H au ser, ends; N ix ar.d Bob Downie, tackles; “ L u p p s” P eratrovich and N ix , guard s; Johnson, center; E d er, Choate, Sam pson and B ettles in the backfield. T hese are the men who won the hardest gam e played in years. M artin Colby received a painful in ju ry in th e leg d u rin g the first quarter and was replaced by L iljegren whose p lucky playing stood out w ith the rest. l'he team wall have a w eek ’s re s t before th e n e x t gam e and it is expected th at the Colby brothers and the o th er cripples will be back in shape for the gam e against Pacific U niversity here on the 13th. C hem aw a and P U. are th e stro n g est contenders for the non-confer ence ch am p io n sh ip and we are ready to play any team in the N o rth w est for it. O ur little I.T .C . football team train ed faithfully for one w hole week prep arin g to m eet the W ashington ju n io r high school team of Salem and we have w aich- ed them w ith a lot of real interest. L ast S atu rd ay th e tw o team m et. O ur boys played like wTild fire and w’on th e gam e before a large en th u siastic crow d 34 to 20.
