OREGON AGRICULTURAL. COL LEGE, Corvallis, Oct. 22. (Special.) The relentless rush of the most powerful Oregon Aggie football at tack in many, many years, if indeed, its like ever was achieved before by an Aggie eleven, rolled over and crushed the University of Washing-, ton here today by a score of 24 to 0. Three touchdowns and a place-kick by Andy Crowell accounted for the core. The Aggies uncovered a scoring machine as unstoppable as. a steam roller. Protecting it was a defense that the despairing charges of the Washington backs almost never could pierce. Accurate Passes t'srd. Varying1 straight football with a shower of short, sharp and accurate forward pusses, the Aggies never were at a loss in their offensive operations. They began the game with a march of 90 yards from their own 10-yard line straight down the field and across the Washington goal. Their third was gained on a com bination of forward passes and straight football, the ball being carried across on a plunge through tackle. And flanking these scores were many times when they had the ball close to the Washington goal line, but on Incomplete forward passes or attempted goals from placement, failed to put It over. The game throughout was played In Washing ton territory. Assies Once In Danser, Once only was the Aggie goal line threatened. That time a spectacular play by Kasberger In intercepting a Washington forward pass on his IB yard line quickly nullified the threat. The Aggies wasted no time after the opening kick-off, wh'ch was re ceived by Washington in turning loose their offensive. The Washington backs could not gain and Zell punted to the O. A. C. 10-yard line. Then began the march that revealed the power of the Orange attack. In 22 plays for six first downs In succession the Aggie backs plunged and smashed and crunched their way through the purple barrier to and over the Washington goal line. Four times In that march they came to a fourth down with one yard or two yards to go. Each time they elected to carry the ball Instead of kicking. Each time the giant Powell was called on to gain the needed yardage. Each time of the four he ripped through the restraining human wall In front of him and gained his yardage. Experts' Advice la-nored. The experts say it Is poor football for a team to take risks like that of losing the ball on downs, and' that the proper play on such .occasions is to punt. No doubt, but poor football or good football, the point of it is that In such crisis the Aggie attack crashed through to its objective, not once did it falter. Within his own 20-yard line on the third play of this drive down the field, the Aggie quarter with one yard to go elected a scrimmage. It was a desperate chance to take, for failure would give Washington the ball un der the Oregon goal posts. Powell took the ball and dived through the line for two yards, instead of the necessary one. . Then with one pile-driver buck after another, the Aggies walked steadily down the field. Plunge, plunge, plunge. Miller or Gill or Powell, all straight football. Always with a yard or two yards to go, Powell would takt It and plow through. Kasberarer Makes Gain. One of Ins plunges carried the ball to the Washington 12-yard line. On the third play, Kasberger ripped through right tackle for six yards and carried It across 13 minutes after the game had started.' McFadden kicked goal. Oregon Aggies 7; Wash ington 0. The Aggies made their second touch down late in the second quarter. After exchange of kicks. Powell shot around right end for nine yards to Today and Every Sunday the Advertisement of Wm.

Miller bucked center for a yard, and Powell tried left end for five. Gill piled up and it was fourth down and ift yards to go. Kasberger dropped back and, re ceiving the center's pass, shot it straight, low. bulletlike to Powell, who caujrht It across the goal line. McFadden converted and it was Ore- ' gon Aggies 14, Washington 0. The men from Corvallis made their third score in the third quarter when Andy Crowell stepped back from his place at right tackle and from the 27-yard line booted a place .kick be tween the bars. In the fourth quarter, Crowell at tempted another place kick, this be ing on the Washington 43-yard line. The ball swerved outside by inches. And in the fln.al moment of play. Hughie McKenna, who had replaced Kasberger at quarter, tried still a third, field goal. His attempt was so close that .the ball hit one of the goaT uprights and bounded back. The final Aggie touchdown came in the last quarter. By that time, with the game safe and the only question how big the scojWwould be, the orange players had switched from line-bucking tactics to an open game aimost entirely. Pass after pass was tried, most of them short and low, and most of them good. . hey worked the ball to tine Washington 20-yard line, where one of Kasberger's few bad passes went wide. Washington tried the passing game, but Kasberg er almost immediately intercepted a pass on the purple 25-yard line and ran 21 yards to the four-yard-line. On the third play Kasberger slipped through and over.' McFadden kicked another goal. Oregon Aggies 24, Washington 0. - Whole Back field Changed. After tnat Coach Rutherford changed his entire backfield person nel, putting in little Hughte McKenna to run the team and replacing most of his linemen with substitutes. It was virtually another team that finished the game. This second lineup lacked the punch of the first, but even against it Washington could not make gains. It was not so much Washington weakness as agricultural college strength. The men in purple never quit. They strove desperately by for ward passes to break away for at least a touchdown, but they couldn't get their tosses clear. Of 18 pass at tempts they completed only three. On the other hand, the Aggies completed 12 in 19 attempts for a total of 15'8 yards. The superiority of the Aggie In scrimmage was almost as marked. They gained 213 yards to only it for Washington, and made ten first downs J from scrimmage to only two lor Washington. It was just too ' much "My men forgot all the football they had ever learned and pulled eome aw ful stuff." said Coach Bagshaw. "How ever, Oregon Agricultural college has a great team. It outplayed Washing ton In every department and has a powerful attack." The summary: O. A. c. Washington. Tousey R.B.I UalUgan Heyden R. (i. L, Kogge Crowell R. T. L. Clark Stewart C Haines Locey L.

Klepper, until two weeks I ago president of the Seattle banebsll club, has closed with Judge W. W. McCredle and Walter A. MoCreriia for the sale to him of the Portland baseball club and franchise for 150.000. Announcement of this deal to put professional baseball in Portland into new hands was made yesterday by Mr. Klepper himself. He said that he has an option to purchase the fran chise, together with players, grand stand and all equipment belonging to the club, for the sum named. George I Grantham Is the only player excepted. I He belongs to Detroit. Option to lie Exercised. His option will be exercised, the purchase price paid down In a lump cash sum and the transfer completed. said Mr. Klepper, probably before the end or this week, and at latest by November 1. Judge McCredle and Walter Mo- ICredle both confirmed yesterday Mr. ivleppers statement that he lias an I option from them to purchase the club and franchise. Associated with him In the trans- I action, explained Mr. Klepper, will be James R, Brewster of Seattle and a group of Portland business men. He said he Is not ready as yet to name the Portland members of the purchas ing syndicate, but that they will number at leant 40. "It is my purpose," said Mr. Klep per, "to make this Just, as riuoh as possible a community matter. Noth ing ever has more benefitted Seattle in an advertising way than the owner ship of her baseball club by a group of business men. It Is astonishing how much favorable publicity the I city has received from that source, and the good that has been accom plished thereby. Community Pride Shown. "Community ownership put Seattle back on the baseball map. Now I desire to do the same thing here. I firmly believe that such ownership will make of Portland the best base ball town In the Pacific Coast league. It will be the story of baseball In Seattle for the last three years aJl over again, only more so. "One of the prime factors In the surprising comeback of baseball In Seattle was the pride engendered by community ownership. The cham ber . of commerce, the Rotary club. the One Hundred Per Cent club, the Press club and many other organlia tions have taken a pride in baseball and have boosted it in every way With the same community ownership and the same backing here, success is equally certain. " Mr. Klepper expects to complete the purchase of the club this week As soon as the transfer has been cf- fectsd, the new organization will be Incorporated as the Portland Base ball club, incorporated. Mr. Klepper will, of course, be elected president Other officers will Include a first and second vice-president, a secretary and a treasurer. Kirst-Clnns PInyera Wanted. Every baseball fan In Portland will want to know what Mr. Klepper in tends to do about new players, whom he will name manager, and such. Let him tell It in his own words. Said he "My first efforts will be devoted to lining up for the new Portland team eight or ten first-class players "I figure that the club must be reinforced with at least eight play ers of class AA caliber to become a pennant contender' and I promist that the team we put into the league will be up there lighting all season just as Seattle has done in the two years I was its president. "We must have at least two good hard-hitting outfielders and two fast lnfielders. Three experienced pitch era who can win ball games are es sential, and so is a first-string catcher. "With these men added to the nu cleus of good players already on the team, we will have a fighting, hard hitting, pennant-chasing ball club. That is, it will be such a club under; the right kind of manager. Fighting- Manager ANSured. "I have already in mind a man for manager who will fill the bill u perfection, but it would hardly do U name hlra yet. But Portland fan.' may rest assured that the field leader of their new club, whether he is a playing or a bench manager, will be u man of the fighting type, already proved by winning managerial expe rience. "My first action after seeing that a live, active board of directors is elect ed by the business men who will bi associated with me in the communit ownership of the club will be to at tend the Pacific coast league meeting in Los Angeles November 10. "From there I shall go directly east to line up players from the big league teams prior to the minor league meeting at Buffalo In Decem ber. 1 expect to do some more busl ness at that meeting. Good Trade In Prospect. "I have connections and acquaint-! ances in the major leagues, acquire in my two years as president of tin Seattle club that I can rely on ti take care of us In the way of player Where we can get the men we wan' by purchase we will buy them out -I right. Of course, it Is imposslhli in many cases to buy players, bu the present Portland club has tw pitchers in Pillette and Johnson thu not one but several major leagu. clubs are after. With them as trad ing material, it is a cinch that w can get several hlgh-clu-Hs players. "Mind, I am not going to let I'll lette and Johnson go If we can se our needed players without dmpoh ing of them. Other things belm equal, they will be Just as valuabl. to us as to any team. But they w n be the ace In the bole to use as trad ing material. "My policy at Seattle was to den independently with big league clubs going where I could get the best re suits, rather than tying up with an one club. Whether the same polic: , will be pureiied here or whether i I will seem best to affiliate with som " (Conclude! on Page 2.) T
