^SIDELIGHTS ON THE GAME* ★---;- * “Tell me when the fellows make a down,” cried a junior co-ed at the game Saturday. She hud never seen a foot ball contest before. “I’m dying to get in on the live stuff,” she exclaimed. “Say, tell Bert Lombard to empty out the top of his hat. It’s filled up again.” “Referee, that Aggie swam with the ball. Penalize him!” screamed en en thusiastic old man. “One of those Aggie yell-leaders has taken off his orange sweater.” “Nothing of the kind. lie’s faded. Can’t you see from the score that the or ange isn’t a fast color?” After the teams had taken their first plunges all around, a man noticed that there wasn’t quite so much water on the field. “Iley, referee,” cried a lady-fan, “quit patting that O. A. C. fellow on the back. I'll bet you have some money on that team.” “Why do they always stand in that same pool, when they are giving the sig nals?”—from a visiting high school co ed. “Oh, they’ve got it warmed now and they hate to start on another.” “Say, miss,” said a polite grad, “would you mind letting that umbrella trickle down somebody else’s neck awhile. I’m afraid my spinal column will warp when it dries out.” “Girls! isn’t that Aggie graceful?” while the cadiets were maneuvering. "That man could get down on his knees, if necessary.” When the improvised cannon shot out the green confetti between halves, and Hatley got burned, a co-ed discovered that it was intentional. “A perfect ’<).’ on his face. Does Batley know about it?” lie was an old man. lie did not care for flowers. But in the tension of the submarine attack, lie snatched a whole chrysanthemum garden off of a bloom ing matron on his left, and yelling, crammed it into his 1 uttoiilude. “Look at Jack Polpli’s knees!” cried a Kiri, "lie’s standing in water up t<> them.” "It says ‘shrapnel” on that O. A. cart. They must have stopped at a baker shop on the way up." “I’retkel is not spelled with an ‘S,’” replied a man, after a loan, slow pause. The pink on my lint iH running!” cried a horrified woman. “Turn it around and let it run back,” called a comforting masculine voice. Spirit Effervesces (Continued from Page One.) strong. The hand played and the step proceeded. A recess was called at eleven o’clock and the crowd adjourned until two. At two o’clock tin' crowd returned and steamed off steps with unabated vigor until fi o’clock. When the fun was at its height Conch Itezdek mounted the hand platform and announced that the faculty sent their best wishes and hoped that the students enjoyed themselves. “Pune all you can lad ween now and (i o’clock and then go home, eat your sup per, and prepare your lessons for to morrow. All the faculty wanted was a peaceful demonstration. Yen were peace ful." The faculty ami Coach Itezdek were given a rousing cheer and on went the dance.

Fawcett the Same as Ever. Itoscoe Fawcett, sporting calitor of the Oregonian, displaced the same character istics that have been noticed so many times before in his columns.

They were a bunch of devils and wild men. " The Journal appeared with a front page story headed, “Oregon's ‘Luck,’ Meats Mighty Aggies.” And the story does not credit Oregon for its great victory over a great team. This fault rests with tin; sporting editor, Robert Cronin. History Shows Only (Continued from page one) teal ground. Almost the entire student bodies were on hand. That day saw two new stars ascend to football fame and saw fight triumph over might and odds. The broken Oregon team went into that game and won. The only marvel was that the score was not three times as large. The two men who gained the greatest, fame that Oregon could give that day were Carl Fenton, the guard who kicked the winning field goal, and Johnnie Parsons, Oregon’s sophomore halfback. No greater ground gainer had ever been seen in the north west than Parsons showed himself to be that day. The next year Oregon had a veteran, powerful and victorious team. Again they went to Albany; this time to be fought to a standstill by the supposedly inferior Aggies. Oregon was overconfi dent and careless, and nearly lost the | game. In the last few minutes of the final quarter the score stood 10 to •'! against Oregon. The (). A. C. rooters were jubilant. Night was falling and the teams were apparently just lighting hope lessly; waiting for the time to he called. Oregon was plugging the line with stolid and hopeless repetition. They were not gaining much. It was anmst too dark to watch the game. Suddenly Quarter An son Cornell, of Oregon, slipped out of the melee of the play and sped off around 20 SHINES FOR A ticket good for 20 shines at $1.00 if purchased before Nov. 21st Johnson's Stand Next to Laraway’s jewelry store Bangs LiveryCo.

All through that game the teams fought nearly even, with the slight edge in favor of O. A.

The line hi Id and the ball rose. The Oregon stands set up a moan and hid their heads—the Orange started a cry of glee—the kick was too low. But then a shout arose. Oregon looked up. The referee was waving his arms. The kick had gone true. The score was tied. A few minutes of defensive play by the weary Oregon team and they fought off the onslaughts of the frantic Aggie hacks in their last wild attempt to score. Then the great game was over.
