VICTOR LEADS BY SECOND N'ew York I.ad Crosse Electric Timing Wire but.FVw Feet Ahead of Victor Hemrry, French Racer Also In Bens. SAVANNAH. Ga.. Not. 11. Ths New York boy who four rears as;o away from home to become a driver of racing automobile, today, saved the reputation of American drivers In the grand prise race, the blue ribbon event of the automobile contests. David Bruce-Brown won a little more than a second at the end of 41S.1 heartbreak Ins; miles. He flashed across the elec tric timing wire 1.43 seconds ahead of Victor Hemery, the Frenchman. His time was Ave hours, il minutes. S.2S seconds, vetting a new American road record of 70.65 miles an hour. Both men drove Bens cars, so that the foreign machines triumphed over the American-made racers. The conso lation la having an American at the wheel of the winner was Increased by the feat of "Wild Bob" Burman In an American car. the Marquette-Bulck. which finished third, getting third money and an additional thousand dol lars for the first American driver to finish In an American car. Before the race it was said the American team planned to set a pace In the early stages which would burn tbe tires off the big foreign machines and secure an advantage. Foreigner Win by Numbers. Apparently the Americans tried this trick and it nearly succeeded, for most of the forelgnrrs were either stalled or wrecked before the finish, but the foreigners were too numerous. Wagner. In his big red Flat, was one of the gamest. His daring nearly cost Mm his life and that of bis mechanician. Louis Ferrow. on the back stretch, while coming down a small hill at top rpeed. Wagner lost control of his car f-r the fraction of a second, one of bis front wheels striking a stone culvert. crushing the wheel and throwing the rar on lis aide for a slide of & feet Into the trees. Ferrow was shot into the top branch es of a 30-foot willow, which caught him and broke his fall. He ran to the car beside which Wagner was lying with machirx oil pouring about him from a broken tank. The driver got up with the .aid of his mechanician and walked to the German Club, nearby. I.ater he was taken to a hospital, where It was reported he waa not seriously hurt. Willie Haupt. one of the Bens driv ers, skidded off the road at the end of a long straightaway, sldeswlplng a tdant live osk and then plunged with M car Into some bushes. He and H. Ketble. his mechanician, emerged with reassuring expedition, though some what bruised and scratcbe'd. Fifteen Can Start In Race). Fifteen cars started In the race. In tirie of Si miles tbe three Flats, driven by W saner. le Palma and Naxarro. nj the three Bens, steered by Hemery. Bruce-Brown and Haupt. had left the Americans well behind. Hemery took the lead at about 30 miles, and held it until the 140th mile, when a change of tires allowed four of the other foreign t-ar to rush past him. Meanwhile Naxarro. holder of the world's record of about 7& miles an hour, was doing the fastest laps of the dav In an effort to catch Hemery. Na xarro' best time for a single lap was 11:31. which was 74.1 miles an hour. For over a hundred miles he laid out the pace, when Wagner took the lead for about 49 miles, but lost It In filling Me oil and gasoline tanks. When the ;o-mi!e mark was well In the rear and the race more than half over, the big rare were still bunched and doing some of the most thrilling driving In the an nals of automobile racing. A scant three mlnvtes at times separated the first four or five. Seconds only marked the difference In some of their laps. Willie Haupt waa the first to go crashing from the course. Sixty miles further on Wagner' car went rolling into the ditch. Then Naxarro. reputed to be the world's uiost careful driver, bent his rear axle Irreparably and was out of it. Drivers I loco mo I Cockles. For the next IS mile there was a battle royal between Pe Pal ma's Flat, which had taken the lead, and Bruce Brown and Hemery in the Ben racer. Bruce-Brown, running second with Te Palma a few yards behind him. but two and a half minutes ahead on act ual running time, tried to shake off ' the latter. De Palma retaliated with reckless efforts to pass Bruce-Brown, once nearly overturning his car at the grandstand corner, as he skidded around the right-angled turn 30 yards beMrnl the Bern. When Bruce-Brown rounded the turn and shot into his last lap De Palma was nowhere to be seen. He had stopped on the back stretch, out of the race with a broken cylinder. When Hemery flew across the finish a few minutes later it was not known until the timer Jiang oat the numbers whether Bruce Brown got In quick enough to beat him on running time. Bruce-Brown had started Jhree min utes later than Hemery. r&Ttd BrwBwwa. Bns. first. 5:ll-ftSS. Victor H.mery. B.na. cw1. 6 M:&7. Fob Burmaa.

It was the big gam of tbe year for the state, and the field was packed. Rnthuslasm was Intense, but rowdy Ism was eliminated. Between the halve the Corvallis boys did a pretty serpentina while both side cheered. Before the game Ore gon did the same, and after the game the Held, of course, was Oregon's. And Oregon took It. too. Yelling like mad, the crowd bore the victorious team member In triumph on their shoulders. JLuck favored Oregon In tbe toss and the team took the klckoff.- Oregon' linemen broke through at once and showed Corvallis the futility of at tempting to gain and forced an at tempted punt which was blocked by Walker, who secured the ball. Punting7 Duel Starts. Main then tried a field goal but failed. A moment later, however, he succeeded, after a pretty run In of a punt by Latourette. Then the punting duel started and the speedy Oregon quarterback held, his own with Keck. At the end of the quarter. Oregon had the ball on her own 10-vard line. In this part of the game, Oregon lost con siderable yardage through high passes by center Kellogg, but later In the game, his passing was well nigh per fect. The second period opened with a con tinuance of the punting duel, with neither team showing marked advan tage. Jamison was Jarred here and Fiser went In and a moment later Hall replaced Weldlund at tackle. These were the only substitutions made by Oregon, while Corvallis used almost two full teams. Boon after Hall went In. Taylor started the march to tbe Corvallis goal by skirting Corvallis' left end for 33 yards, tearing with ease through and over the farmer boy. Walker then mada-a dash for several yards Into the line. Then Main prepared for a place kick but. In a cleverly manipulated fake play, shot the ball from the 35 vard line to Walker, who raced across chalk-line after chalk-line and finally scored the only touchdown made against Corvallis this year. After the excitement between the halve had subsided and after the Ag gies had shouted aa though the score were to In their favor Instead of against them, the two teams settled down to business again. Plucky Reynolds Would Play. ' Little Reynolds, who had been re moved on account of Injuries In the sec ond period, was carried out tJ the field by his fellow students to see the re mainder of the game, it was too much, though, for him to see his team-mates going Into the fray without him. Ho broke away from his friends, dashed into the field and would not be put out. Finally when he waa led away, the tears were stresmlng down his face. Starting another punting duel, the two teams moved up and down the field, gradually, however, coming near er the Corvallis goal. Oregon gained several times through cleverly exe cuted forward passes and fske play and finally recovered aa onalde kick on the eight-yard line. The Oregon backs were sent back for losses twice and then from tho Il-yard line Main booted the ball over for three more points. After this score Corvallis braced. Coach Schlldmlller (ending In numerous substitutes and the quarter ended with Whs ball In the center of the field. 1 ne xourin perioa wa more iiivli. tor's gam than the previous play. Punting and passes were the features and finally Taylor electrified the Ore gon rooters by a dash of 38 yards, but waa caught from behind by Keck. Place-Kick Fall Wide. Oregon tried for a place-kick from the 4f. yard line and soon after from the 37-yard line, but both missed and the game was soon a matter of foot ball history. Oregon was penalised re peatedly for off-side play. The work of all officials was excellent. Coach Warner ssld he was hardly satisfied with the victory as hi men were, he said, capable of better work. Both teams were said to be In the pink of condition at the start. The Aggies who showed to particular advantage, were Hastings, at half and quarter. Kellogg at end. May at tackle and Keck at fullback. Keck did not, however, play his usual high-srrade game. The barkfteld and ends for Oregon were the bright particular lights of a team which may be well described as one of the best. If not the best, football team ever turned out of the University. The work of Main and Taylor, member of the Sigma University will live long In Oregon football history. The lineup,: L". of A. Position. O. A. .'. Kellogg- C Dunn j rout ...........R 1......
