AND OREGON IN TIE
Scoreless Battle Fought on
Corvallis Gridiron.

Final Chapter.
(Continued From First Page.)
ized was the great moment of the
day.
Even the imploring voices of the
Oregon rooters fell silent. The bark
of the little Aggie quarter could be
heard as be called out the numbers.
Kasberger took the ball In a drive
at right tackle. He gained only half
a yard.
Then Somers took It. He smashed
through the middle of the line to
within a yard of the Oregon goal.
A third time the ball snapped back
and Kasberger launched himself two
feet into the mass of struggling play
ers. Hash MrKrnna Removed.
With the ball on Oregon's one-foot
line, Coach Rutherford of Oregon
Agricultural college called time long
enough to take out the light Hugh
McKenna. He sent the heavy and
eager Harold McKenna Into the fray.
Once more the teams lined up. The
Oregon players dug their cleats deep
into the sawdust mire as the fresh
McKenna catapulted to the assault.
When the tangled pile-up had been
-unscrambled, there rested the ball,
. . . , 1 .. t -..nn. I, n rrnr, 1 TV, O
stubborn, ngnting, unyielding aeiense
of the battered Oregon line had held
for downs and saved them from the
bitterness of defeat. Over the field
arose not a sigh, but a roar of relief
as the tension ended.
It was the same saving defense,
under almost Identical circumstances,
-that Oregon made at tlia close of the
great battle with Harvard at Pasa
dena last New Tear's day.
That was the final punch, the last
kick in a day of bitter fighting. Bill
Steers from behind his own goal line
punted 38 yards down the field to
safety. With but one minute left to
play, Coach Rutherford rushed in an
avalanche of substitute players.
Hodler replaced Seeley at' half.
Chuck Johnson relieved Sommers at
the other half. The locomotive Pow
ell went in for Harold McKenna,
whose tenure in the game was that
one unsuccessful smash toward the
goal. McFadden replaced Scott at left
end. Daigh took Heyden's post at
guard. In the meantime Meade sub
stituted for Rlnehart at left half for
Oregon.
Powell, crippled by bis Injured
knee, remained in for only two
downs, being. replaced then by Woods,
while Stenstrom went in for McCart,
who had played a whale of a game
at right tackle. In three downs
against the line, the Aggies made
small gains and on the fourth down,
with five seconds to play, Crowell
dropped back for a place kick. His
boot from the 36-yard was blocked by
Oregon. ,
; l.aat Play Made
That was the last play of the game.
The timers rushed onto the field and
the struggle was over.
That final quarter's doings gave
the Aggies what would be called In
bridge whist the honors of the game,
but by a margin so scant as to be
almost offset by the great defense of
the Oregon eleven with its back
against the wall.
But aside from those final few min
utes, never was a game more evenly
played. Through three full quarters
and most of the fourth it was a con
flict In which play zigzagged from
one team's territory into the other's
almost never within striking distance
of either goal line. How closely they
played may be judged from the fact
that Oregon gained 97 yards in scrim
mage on 36 plays, to 96 yards for
Oregon Agricultural college on 47
plays. Both teams made four first
downs from scrimmage and two first
downs from forward passes.
The Aggies, moreover, completed
three passes for an aggregate gain of
42 yards to two completed passes for
a total gain of 24 yards for Oregon.
The difference in the Aggies' favor
on passes was somewhat more pro
nounced from the fact that two of
their good passes were made in the
pinch.
Oregon lost 40 yards from penalties
to 25 yards for Oregon Agricultural
college.
Punting honors, likewise, were close
to even. Oregon in nine attempts by
Bill Steers averaged 38 yards to
32ft yards for eight attempts by Ore
gon Agricultural college. The effec
tiveness of punts was about the same,
Oregon Agricultural college's average
being brought down somewhat by the
fact that several of Its punts were
on side kicks.
Spectacular Plays Few.
Aside from that thr'lling last guar
ter. spectacular plays were few. The
wet field made them well nigh im
possible. The two teams skidded
about on the slimy gridiron like poor
flies struggling through a bowl of
mush, t Time after time end runs on
both sides that would have resulted
in long gains on a dry field were
foosled because the backfield men
couldn't get to going on the sawdust
swamp.
But late in the third quarter Sam
mers, for Oregon Agricultural college,
tore off one beautiful 50-yard run on
an intercepted forward pass that was
the individual stellar feature of the
day.
Oregon at the time was in Aggie
territory. Steers attempted a long
forward pass. Sommers Intercepted
it near the grandstand side lines.
Plunging, twisting, zig-zagglng, dodg
ing, he ran it back for 60 yards
through most of the Oregon team to
the Oregon 12-yard line, where
Kinehart felled him.
Chapman, for Oregon, and Big Bill
Steers were the Individual ground
gainers for that team. Steers made
SS of the ST yards gained by Oregon
in scrimmage, and Chapman ac
counted for 34 more. Hugh McKenna,
the tiny. Aggie quarter, running
mainly from punt formations, how
ever, .was the individual star in
gronnd gaining. He totaled 42 yards
by his endeavors.
McKenna Famblea Ball.
McKenna offended several times,
though, by his fumbles. Twice Ore
gon Agricultural college lost the ball
on this account from good gains. But
y fumbles were to be expected with a
Y wet ball on a slippery field. Seely
and Sommers at half, Kasberger at
full, McKenna at quarter and McCart
and Scott particularly in the line
shone brilliantly on their work for
Oregon Agricultural college. For Ore
Ron the stars were Bill Steers. Chap
man. Spike Leslie at tackle and big
Stracha at guard. Taken by large.
this day's game was an awful blow :
at dope and dopsters. For the most
part they had picked Oregon to win
by two touchdowns. EUit the new
combination effected by Coach Ruther
ford worked amazingly welL And it
had fight, world's of fight. It fought
it out with Oregon so hard that to
pick between them on this score
would be to do injustice to both,
elevens.
In fact, holding Oregon to a tie
score under the circumstances and
coming so near to a touchdown in the
final quarter had the moral effect of
a victory for the Aggies. There will
be no state champion this year, but
by their stellar playing against Ore
gon the Aggies beat the Eugene men
out of an opportunity to tie Wash
ington State for the northwest cham
pionship. With its three victories in north
west games, Washington State now
has a clear claim to the northwest
title. Today's contest was the 24th
between Oregon and Oregon Agricul
tural college since 1894. Of those 24
games, Oregon has won 15, the Aggies
4, while five, including today's con
flict, have been ties. Of those five,
three have been to no score. And,
peculiarly enough, just as today was
the odds and all the dope seemed
against them, nearly all the Aggies'
victories for tie scores have been
made when they had been picked to
lose.
Attendance at today's game, as an
nounced tonight by James J. Richard
son, manager of student activities at
Oregon Agricultural colleg), was
13,583.'
"Oregon will never live to see the
day again when it can outfight Ore
gon Agricultural college," declared
the jubilant Richardson, in a state
ment after the game.
In Corvallis the tie score was re
garded everywhere as an Oregon
Agricultural college victory.

Bill Steers Plays Game as Parent
Is Sear Death.
OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL
LEGE, Corvallis, Or.. Nov. 20.
(Special.) Bill Steers, University of
Oregon quarterback star, played
through today's game against Oregon
Agricultural college with grim sor
row clutching at his heart. Steers'
father was perhaps fatally injured in
an antomobile accident at The Ialles
Friday night. Rather than do what
he felt would be throwing down his
team, which depended so greatly on
his efforts, be remained and played
through the game.
The moment the battle was over.
Steers hurried into bis clothes and
took the first train for The Dalles.
If his father's condition shows any
improvement, he will rush to Pasa
dena to play with his teammates there
Thanksgiving day against the Uni
versity of Southern California.
