Since the fiist game in 1894, the teams have met fifteen times. Oregon has won ten games, tied two and lost three and has scored 185 points to 55 for O. A. C. Twentieth Century Games Hard Fought Since 1902, the games have been extremely hard fought and have fur nished some of the most dramatic in cidents in Western football. The game of 1902, the first for three years, was scoreless. The game in 1903 would have been the same, but Chandler fell on a fumble on Ore gon’s one yard line and made the touchdown possible. In 1904, Oregon won by a single point with credit to Joe Templeton for his accurate kicaing. The fea ture of the game was a 105 yard run by Dow Walker. The big center nicked up a fumble and raced across the field, saving his team from a shut out. Oregon Reverses Football Dope In 1905, O. A. C. brought over a team of husky veterans and it looked like an easy victory for them. The betting was three to one. Early in the fiist half. Gordon Moores got away for the only touchdown of the day by receiving an on-side kick, win ning the game for Oregon. (Continued on last page.) HOB FA HISS \ “I think we will win because!

I__ I , SSL_ HEAD COACH LOUIS PINKHAM “From watching O. A. C. in fo; mer games, I cannot see where they have it over on us. Although they have played one good game, thay have played several poor ones. 1 think that we excel O. A. C. in several departments of the game, and we may spring a surprise on them today. Taking everything : into consideration, I will not say 1 we will win, hut in all events we I will give a good account of our selves. ■ - n ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ r ■ y GRIDIRON CAREERS OF THE VARSITY ELEVEN ARE REVIEWED ON THE EVE OFTHEIR GREATESTSTRUGGLE (By Tommie Boylen.) Oregon’s football team is unique in that it is a made-in-Oregon team. Only one of the men, Robert Fariss, has had college experience before coming here, and he is a Eugene boy. The remaining have all received their experience at the hands of Oregon trainers, or perhaps, to a certain ex tent in Northwest high schools. Port land is far in the lead in Varsity ma terial. This is Captain Walker’s fourth year on the team. Walker played his ! first football with Independence High School, where he played half for two years. He finished his early football with tiiree years at Columbia Uni versity'. Today Edward Bailey plays his last game against O. A. C.. For four years Bailey has been picked as All Northwest tackle, and for the four | preceding years he was the pride of ( Eugene High School. ( Carl Fenton came to Oregon with- ] out experience in football, but made ( (Continued on third page.) ' rOGSIN or VICTORY IS SOUNDED BY RIVALS 10 CLASH TODAY IN THE LONG SOOEHT GAME _ ALTHOUGH ALL DOPE IS AGAINST OREGON’S TEAM. THE LEMON YE LOW WILL ENTER THE STRUGGLE WITH GRIM DETERMINATION. A DRY FIELD MAY HE THE CAUSE OF YICTORY FOR OREGON (By Jimmie Roberts.) Coaches Pinkham and Dolan have applied the finishing touches to theii wariiors and the despaired of game with O. A. C. is only a few hours distant. The game of the year, as ar as Oregon is concerned, has be •ome a reality after months of ar gument and Wrangling. The rival •oaches have spent the past week try ng to out-Dobie each other with in uied men stories, but both have man igeci to get their first line-up ready tor the whistle and the public is not looking forward to a battle of inva ids. J he feeling on the Oregon cam jus is, one of hope and determina .ion. I he Aggie Student Body sends rut waves of enthusiasm and confi dence. O. A. C, has the best team •hey have had in four years, and their ho wing against Washington and the • cent blasting they gave to Whit nan’s claim to the championship has eft them confident of defeating the University today. According to comparative scores, which do not amount to the paper :hey are written on, O. A. C. has an idvantage of about twenty-five points over Oregon. A comparison of the games of both teams with W. S. C. this fall gives O. A. C. a slight edge and the games with Whitman gives them a lead over the lemon yellow. Both the Whitman and W. S. games Oregon played early in the season, before the coaches nad time to de I velop any sort of team work. The showing of the Aggies against Washington can not be taken as any too reliable an indication of their strength. The best team is generally handicapped greatest on a muddy field. O. A. C. managed to hold Bez deck’s team in 190G on a field that was ankle deep with mud, and there is little doubt that it would have been an Oregon victory by a good margin on a dry field. One reassuring fact remains. O. A. C. never' had an Oregon team beaten until the last whistle blew. The team has a chance to hold them even, and a bare chance of making it fifteen victories against two de feats in the last twenty years. The Varsity, in spite of its crippled con dition, is going on the field in Albany today to win, and if history repeats I itself we ar e going to have a joyous | evening. COMPARISON OF OREGON AND O.

He has lived in this city since a boy and Albany is proud of him as a football coach. The Hub City, to a man, will stand behind O. A. C. largely on this account.

The special train of twelve coaches, containing 1,500 students and Eugene people leaves the Southern Pacific de pot at 12:30 this morning, for Al bany. Abe Blackman urges every loyal Oregon student to be aboard. The Southern Pacific train will be gaily decorated with the lemon and yellow color; flags, pennants, and bunting will fly from every window'. Even the engine will bear the glorious colors, and the appearance of the whole train will be in perfect har mony with the spirit of the excited student throngs which fill it. Seniors Will Carry “O." Upon arriving in Albany, Blackmdh will assemble his rooter cohorts in battle array and, preceeded by the famous “Boola” band and the yellow “O,” borne by twelve proud Seniors, will march to the scene of actlbhi There they will be joined by the vet eran yell leader, Charles W. Robin son, with his following of a hundred law students from Portland, who ar live earlier in the day. Bleachers Built for 8,000. The center section of the bleachers on the north side of the field, has been reserved for the Eugene rooters, The Aggies will occupy the south bleachers. The Co-eds of the two in stitutions will be seated in the grand stand. Special boxes have been pre pared for Governor West and the several state officials, expected to be present, and for President Campbell, President Kerr, and the two boards of regents. The bleachers that have been erected by the Albany Commer cial Club extend down both sides of the field and will seat 8,000 people. There is little danger of lack of ac commodation for the crowd. Blackman Will Conduct War Dance. Between halves, each school will have exclusive use of the field for seven minutes to stage the special stunts which both will spring. Ac cording to the announcement made by Abe Blackman at last night’s rally, the Oregon rooters will “pee-rade” onto the field, form a circle and exe cute an Indian war dance, to the ac companiment of “tom-tom music” by the bund. The special train will return at 5:15, so it will be necessary for ; everyone to go immediately to the depot after the game, if they wish to ; get aboard. LOTS OT PIP SHOWN AT LAST NIGHT'S RALLY. COACHES AND FRIENDLY PREDICT VICTORY (By Clarence Ash.) i They came, they ate doughnuts, ■ talked like the dickens, whooped, yelled, and came to the conclusion that Oregon has it over the Agricul- 1 tural College seven different ways 1 from Sunday. i Last night the band and Yell Lead- ! er Abe Blackman led the rooters down town for a serpentine and a short rooting practice. On the return to the Men’s Gymnasium the fireworks com menced. Regent Sam Friendly said: “We’re with you tomorrow in Albany, tnd we want you to dig. dig, dig, to vin.” “Stand back of your team,” said 'resident Campbell,” "with the old Jregon spirit that never says die. (eep your temper—there will be many jutsiders ready to cause trouble— ihow the Oregon Agricultural College hat we are gentlemen, and may the >est team win.” (Voice in the rear, ‘Preferably Oregon.”) Coach Pinkham had plenty of hope • or tomorrow, for “we have. a team Continued on page 3.
