BT L. H. GREGORY.
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

Washington's 28-yard line. A forward
pass for 15 yards, Powell to Kas
berger to McFadden. and the ball was
on Washington's eight-yard line.
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."

COLLEGE OF IDAHO ELEVEX
GAME IS GOOD ONE.
Sensational 53-Yard Run Through
Broken Field Brings First
Score for Missionaries.
WHITMAN COLLEGE, Walla Walla,
Wash., Oct. 22. (Special.) The Whit
man college football team defeated
the College of Idaho eleven here to
day, 17 to 13, in a well-played con
test, both teams being closely
matched in weight, while play the
greater part of the time was in Ida
ho's territory. Idaho's only touch
down came in the last three minutes
of play, when a blocked punt rolled,
across Whitman's line. Idaho's other
scores were made by two field goals,
one in the first and another in the
fourth quarter.
A sensantional 63-yard run through
a broken field by Quarterback Roe
netted Whitman's first score in the
first five minutes of the second quar
ter, while a field goal by' Tllton at
the close of the quarter from the 30
yard line brought the score 10 to 3.
An intercepted pass on the 40-yard
line by Hall netted Whitman's final
score, in the third quarter.
Sensational field running by Roe
and Tilton and fine work at tackle
by Captain Comrada featured the
game. B. Lowell and Foote for Idaho
showed up well.
Frequent punting was used by both
sides, Blackman for Whitman having
a good edge on the yardage with his
boots between 40 and 45 yards. Both
teams tried many passes, most of
them failing. Whitman made fre
quent yardage through Idaho's line,
and throughout the game they threw
the visitors for losses, and for the
greater part of the contest outplayed
the visitors, holding them scoreless
ii, the second and third periods. .

UPBUILDING IS PROPOSED
Flrst-CInss Players to Bo Obtained
In Effort to Develop Fennant..
Winner for Portland.
William H. 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.
