T his score tells briefly the story of the
g reatest athletic contest ever held in the
N orthw est. The victory for the lemon
was as fair as it was com plete, as brilliant
as it was surprising. Man for man and
po in t for point the two team s had been
com pared on paper and it was only a
W ashington victory.
But the athletic
generals had underestim ated the strength
o f the visitors, who, when the occasion
dem anded it, introduced a couple of
freshm en surprises th at won the day.
T he day was an ideal one from an a th ­
letic standpoint and a large and e n th u ­
siastic crowd witnessed the contest. 1 he
W ashington rooters were in evidence, as
also were a few
o f the faithful
from th e
south,
who encouraged

favorites
from

to
to tim e with the aw e-inspiring "O skey
wow wow ," so dear to every Eugene
m a n ’s heart.
T he hero of th e day was Dick Sm ith,
th e big football captain. H e captured
first place in th e ham m er throw , shot
put and ru n n in g broad ju m p , and took
th ird s in th e vault, discus throw and 120
yard hurdle. His ju m p of 20 feet 10
inches betters the Oregon record of 20
feet 6«^, held by K uykendall, of the
U niversity of Oregon. K nox, the plucky
freshm an, surprised his most sanguine
adm irers, by w inning the high ju m p and
pole vault and picking up second place
in the broad jum p. Payne, another O re­
gon freshm an, ran Moorford a close race
in the 880-yard run, and in the m ile
sim ply ran away from and distanced

soon followed by victories in th e 220-yard
dash and 120 vard hurdle. He fell down
