Trick Play Formations. (By the Associated Press.) . PASADENA. Cal., Jan. 1. The West triumphed over the East here today for the second time in the second an nual post-season football game, when the husky University of Oregon eleven defeated the speedy and more experi enced University of Pennsylvania team by a score of 14 to 0. Washington State College defeated Brown University here last year by a like score. Forward passes and end runs, a style of play In which Pennsylvania was supposed to excel,4 were used to advan tage by the Oregonians and were con spicuous favors in the scoring. Ore gon's first touchdown, near the close of the third period, was made on a forward pass across Pennsylvania's goal line. Shy Huntington to Tegart. after the former had circled the end for a. 35-yard gain, the longest made up to this point of the game. Parsons Makes 45-Yard Gain. A second end run of 45 yards by Parsons near the middle of the final period, followed a moment later by a line smash by the Oregon husky right half, netted the necessary eight yards and the second and last touchdown of the game. Shy Huntington kicked both the goals. Pennsylvania's defense stiffened near the end of the game and the closing minutes of play showed the two teams again nearly on an equal footing. Pennsylvania held Oregon on the de fensive during the early part of the game and appeared to have the ad vantage throughout the first half, but the Westerners developed a powerful offensive attack In the closing period which broke down the Easterners' de fense. Shy Huntington Great Star. Shy Huntington, Oregon's fast quar terback, was the Individual star. Not once during the game did he fail to handle Perry's long punts cleverly and twice at crucial stages of the game he intercepted Pennsylvania's forward passes, a feat which was Indirectly responsible for both of Oregon's touch downs. Parsons' superior tackling broke up several Pennsylvania plays which showed promise of good gains. Berry excelled In the punting, his long spirals netting GO to 60 yards a number of times. The game was comparatively free of fumbling, while the penalties were about equally divided. t Both teams suffered from the weather, which was warmer than that to which they were ' accustomed, and were compelled to slow up at times. Oregon Swift Attack Snrprlaea. Pennsylvania failed to show as much speed as expected, ' while Oregon's swift attack came as a surprise to those who had picked the heavy West tern eleven to depend almost wholly upon line plunging for their gains. Both teams experienced difficulty in making gains through the lines and open play was resorted to frequently. Hugo Bezdek the Oregon coach, de clared the forward pass and a trick pass used by his men beat the Penn sylvania team. "The Easterners put up a great game." he said, "but our forward passes and trick plays beat them. Cli matic conditions proved a handicap which Pennsylvania could not over come. "Our team was called heavy, but we averaged only 180 pounds. I consider Shy Huntington and Parsons the In dividual stars, while the ability of my men to circle an all-Amerlcan end. Heinie Miller, contributed to Pennsyl vania's defeat. Folwell Give Oregon Credit. "Our victory means the East will send Its best team here next year. This is the second time the West has defeated the East by a score of 14 to 0." "The best team won," was the com ment of Coach R. C. Folwell. of Penn sylvania. "It will give the West great recognition in the football world back East." The Pennsylvania football squad left I tonight for San Francisco on the way back to Philadelphia. Several mem bers of the Oregon team left for Eu gene tonight, but the majority of the ""team remained for the Tournament of ' Roses ball here tonight and will return Wednesday.

Few Pennsylvania supporters were found In the crowds, and the 700 fans In the theater rooted as if they were on the gridiron. During the first quarter the dope looked rather doubtful, but the confidence of the fans was wjth Bezdek's men and all felt that Oregon would win. The Oregon spirit of the alumni was predominant at all times. During tne second quarter, when Oregon was dan gerously near Penn's goal, the cheering of the crowds was long. The noise was so great that the operator at times' was unable to hear his Instrument, which was on a direct wire to the field.

Somebody tackled him on the two-yard line, but he rolled loose and over the goal line. Parsons deserved a touchdown, but Referee Kienholz blew his whistle too soon and had placed the ball on the two-yard line. Shy Huntington bucked through for the touchdown and Huntington heeled the punt out and kicked goal, giving Oregon 14 points. Toward the close of the game with victory assured, the Oregon lads let up a little and Penn almost got away witlua touchdown. In desperation the Quakers began hurling pass after pass over the yellow ramparts. How ever, the Easterners couldn't make the grade when the time came for the fin ishing punch. Shy Huntington inter cepted the 20-yard pass over the goal that would have given Penn a score, and after that the visitors did not threaten. All-Amerlcan End Outclassed. Miller, Penn'o All-Amerlcan ed. proved a good pass receiver, but he was outclassed in all other depart ments by both Tegart and Mitchell of Oregon. Johnny Beckett said Miller did not hit him once coming around his side on attack. Oregon's work under punts proved far superior to Penn's. Miller and Crane missed tackle after tackle, while Tegart and Mitchell knocked Bell and Bryant dead in their tracks on nearly every kick. Howard Berry got away for a couple of runs of more than 20 yards and looked every inch the star ho was tout ed, and yet John Parsons put Berry Into the eclipse with the sensational dash of 40 yards that resulted in the second touchdown. Shy and Bartlett Real Star. Shy Huntington and Bartlett were the real stars of the day in our opln ion. btiy a work in every department was well nigh flawless. He handled punts beautifully, made brilliant re turns and handled his team like i Napoleon. .Penn's left side had been figured its strongest with Captain Mathews and Henntng. both 200-pound ers. shoulder to shoulder at tackle and guard. Instead the side bent and buckled under the terrific bombard ment of Bartlett and Spellman, and those human Juggernauts behind the line. Crane, a Tacoma boy subbing at end for Penn, was supposed to handle Baft- lett on offense, but Crane might Just an well have tried his hand on a bull bison. Bartlett ran roughshod over him Rnd broke up play after play for losses. Snyder and Risley also maneuvered at top speed. Rlsley had a tough custom er to handle at center in Lud ray. Oregon Vara Only Two uho. Oregon made only two substitutions, Beckett and Tegart both going out 5T 5 i An u 4 i : 5 Bob Pel well, Pennsylvania Carea.

Coach Folwell used new men In his back field at frequent In tervals. Bryant, a little quarter, did brilliant work In the ninth Inning rally that almost saved the Quakers from complete humiliation. Coach Bezdek and his athletes were surrounded by a hal-crazed mob after the game, and congratulations poured In so fast that the boys hands began puffing out from the constant hand shaking. "Well, the game proved one thing, at least," said Bezdek tonight; "It showed that our football out here Is as good If not better than football on the Atlantic seaboard. My boys were in good shape and they played splendidly." ' IVAN OLSON IS SEEKING JOB Ex-Bcaver Wants to Pilot Tigers, But Slay Iand witli Oaks. SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 1. (Special.)

Eastern football followers now will have to wake up to the fact that West ern football Is on a par with the East ern game. The result of the Univer sity of Oregon victory over the Uni versity of Pennsylvania eleven at Pasadena. Cal.. boosted the estern sto"k out of bounds. When the 14-to-0 score was flashed over the wire late in the afternoon it was the signal for a wild demonstra tion, led by graduates and former stu dents at the University of Oregon.

"It Is more than "gratifying to know that Oregon's team com pares favorably with the best teams of the East," he declared. "It gives me a thrill of pleasure to feel that our prowess stands with the beat in athletics as well as Industry and resources." He sent the following telegram to the University of Oregon team at Pasadena: "I extend heartiest congratula tions. All Oregon rejoices at your splendid victory." far and wide as th greatest football team In the Uftlted States, would lead Westerners to believe that Oregon Is on a par with any of them. "There Is no doubt In my mind but that the West Is as strong as the East." said Stanley Borleske, Michigan '12. last night. "Fotball stock out here has Increased 100 per cent in the last five years. Of course, it may be true that Eastern teams used to be better than those In the West, but not sa now. according to my way of think ing. The boys here are Just as fit physically and the only advantage the East has is In the preparatory work. Back there the boy starts playing foot ball In the grammar grades and by the time he reaches college he Is a star. I thought maybe that Penn might win from Oregon, but It would not be by more than one touchdown, and to think that Oregon won Is all the better." Oregon Rated Best of AIL "The present University of Oregon football machine Is one of the best ones I bave ever seen." Is the way Clark D. Elmonds, Massachusetts Institute of Technology "04. puts It- "Unfor tunately. I did not have the opportunity of seeing Coach Dletz Washington State College eleven In action last Fall, but I can hardly see where It would be possible to ask for anything better than the 1916 Oregon squad.

'07 The West has come Into Its own at last, and It wouldn't surprise me a bit to see tho AVcst win every time In these annual football games at Pasadena. The University of Oregon Is one of the greatest teams that has ever been de veloped, on the Pacific Coast, and the only ono that could give it a run was the University of Washington 1909 eleven. It Pittsburg could only beat Penn by a 2ono-0 score early In the season It stands to reason that Oregon would literally walk on Pittsburg If tho two should meet when both were at top form. And to think that Oregon loses but two men for the 1917 season. It looks as though Coach Bezdek and Trainer Bill Hayward will have an other winner. "The most powerful eleven ever brought together." said James O. "Dad" Convill. Perdue '08. and mana ger of the Multnomah Amatour Ath letic Club team which suffered two ;8-to-0 defeats at the hands of the Oregon members.
