ATHLETIC NOTES
Just by the “skin of her teeth” Columbia Univer
sity was able to hold our warriors to a tie game on Mult
nomah field last Saturday afternoon. A nicely execut
ed drop kick was made by Solomon Fleury, our dash
ing half back, in a try for the extra point, but the
tally was disallowed because of alleged tripping in
our backfield. Columbia was lucky, for that was
all that saved her hide.
Columbia showed some mighty football in the first
quarter when they received the ball on the kick-off
and gradually worked the ball to our goal line and
scored, but after that period she might just as well
have driven into a stone wall, for our linemen put up
a defense that the collegians found impossible to pene
trate. Our right end was the weakest part of our for
ward wall. The cliff dwellers circled this flank for
several long gains, but the linemen would immediate
ly take the sting out of each run by holding the col
legians for downs.
With the opening of the second quarter our team
started out with a dazzling aerial attack. Atkins
hurled a 10-yard pass to DePoe and followed with
another heave to Fleury. Thompson hit the line for
six then repeated for a four-yard gain. With time
about up Atkins shot a long pass to DePoe, who made
an unusual catch when he jumped into the air and
reaching over the shoulders of two opponents grabbed
the ball and went over the line for the last score of
the game.
Thompson at fullback, and Fleury, Johnson, and
Abraham at halves, proved a match for the Columbia
defense, but their drives were made nil on several
occasions by passes thrown over the goal line need
lessly. In one instance, after the ball had been car
ried to the opponents’ twenty-yard line, with second
down and a yard to go, and the backfield tearing
through the Columbia line for big yardage each time,
a pass was attempted and we lost it because it was
thrown across the line. Such “harem-scarem” foot
ball makes a team which is otherwise good look bad.
However, had that attack succeeded it would have
been a great day, but it failed and in view of the fact
that line plays were working well it was an error in
judgment for they failed to coincide with the tactics
and strategy of the game.
JUNIORS 13-30PH0M0RES 6
The terrific line plunging of Moon and the brainy
work of Haldane, the Juniors’ quarterback, enabled the
Junior class to defeat the Sophomores 13 to 6 in a hard-
fought battle on a recent afternoon. The first score
came early in the second period when Haldane com
pleted a beautiful 12-yard pass to Floyd Dupuis, who
was over the line waiting for the pigskin. The kick
failed.
The Sophomores received and were held for downs
and punted. It was a zig-zag battle until the end of
the first half.
The second half opened with the Sophs receiving.
Gaining but little ground, they were forced to mint.
Haldane fumbled the catch and the ball rolled to the
1-yardline where Jones, Sophies’ left end, fell upon it.
On the next play it was put over in a quarterback
sneak by Markistrum. The kick failed.
The Juniors recieved, but were held for downs and
Colgrove punted to the Sophies’ 10-yard line; the safety
was caught in his tracks. The next rush resulted in
a fumble, which was caught by O’Bryan, and he ran
unmolested for the second touch down. The kick
was good. The remaining part of the game was a
hard scrap, but neither team threatened. The Juniors
are running strong for the championship. “Bill”
Markistrum and Jones starred for the “Sophies.”
