Coming Clash With Harvard
Recalls Victory Over Penn
Three Veterans of *16 Team Will Meet Crimson;
27,000 Persons Watched Contest When
Oregon Humbled Folwell’s Eleven
When Oregon and Harvard line
up for the biggest gridiron classic
ever staged, will western football
prove superior to eastern football?
Oregon says it will! It has been
proved before and the lemon-yellow
warriors are bent on repeating Ore
gon’s performance of January 1,
1917, when she whipped Pennsyl
vania State by a 14 to 0 score.
Three years ago the Oregon elev-1
en went to Pasadena on New Year’s 1
day where it met the strongest team'
the east could produce. Pennsyl
vania 'had booked a string of tell
ing victories over all her opponents,
clinching the big game of the sea
son by defeating Cornell 23-3. The
easterners were considered the ulti
mate in football perfection. Their
system of aerial attacks was launded
as undefeatable.
Oregon won her right to repre
sent the west through her victory
over W. S. C., 12 to 3. Every other
game of the season had been won
by Oregon save her encounter with
Washington University which result
ed in a 0-0 tie.
Over 27,000 people witnessed the
game which started listlessly. The
first half ended with a 0-0 score, Jjut
with the bulk of the playing in Pen
sylvania’s favor. Beckett and Mon
tieth, for Oregon slightly sur
passed the kicking of Howard and
Berry. Three attempts by Pennsyl
vania to drop kick were disastrously
blocked. Near the end of the second
period, Mitchell saved the day for
Oregon by throwing Quimby for a
15 yard loss when Pennsylvania had
^advanced the ball to Oregon’s, 15
yard line.
With the bail in Oregon’s pos
session, Shy Huntington, at present
Oregon’s coach, but then its quarter
back, started things in the third
period with a split buck and hidden
ball play that carried the ball 20
yards from the center of the field.
Hollis Huntington hit the line for
yardage and a few more short gains
took the pigskin to the 17 yard line
where Shy passed it over the goal
line into Tegart’s waiting hands. Shy
caught the punt-out and converted
the goal.
Johnny Parsons, Oregon's right,
half, started fireworks when he in
tercepted a Pennsylvania pass on the
42 yard line and skipped around
Miller, Penn’s All American end, and
trotted down to the two yard line
where someone spilled him. A line
buck took Oregon over for a tally
and Shy again kicked goal.
With a 14-0 score against them,
Pennsylvania stiffened, but was un
able to come within scoring distance.
Passes and punts were blocked by
the Oregon backs. Oregon’s line,
which had been considered much
weaker than Penn’s, held unbroken
under a series of smashing attacks.
Bartlett, Oregon’s right tackle, and
Shy Huntington were lauded as the
heroes of the game. Shy was re
ferred to by the Portland Oregonian
as a “Napoleon of the football field”.
Parsons and Montieth came in for a
large share of the glory through their
consistent tackling.
Fourteen to nothing was also the
score which Washington State chalk
ed up against Brown University in
the encounter at Pasadena in 1916.
R. C- Folwell, Pennsylvania’s vet
eran coach, paid a tribute to western
football when he frankly declared in
1017 Oregon’s eleven better than his |
own.
Three veterans of the Pennsylvania
game will be in the lineup at Pasa-'
dena on New Year’s day. Hollis
Huntington, Kenneth Bartlett and Bas i
Williams who started their football
careers under Hugo Bezdek, will
, tackle the eastern team for the sec
ond time
Bart Spellman, right guard for the
lemon-yellow in the 1917 game, is
still with Oregon, though not in the
lineup- He is assistant coach on the
training staff.
G. Cook, first string sub at Pasa
dena in T7, is represented only by
a gold star. Cook enlisted when the
United States entered the recent war,
and wras killed in France on the last
day of the struggle, November 11,
1918.
The Pennsylvania encounter proved
that the dope was only made to be
spilled. Pennsylvania was accredited
with a considerable lead over the
Eugene players.
The lineup of the contest in 1917
was:
