-" '-.f when Bill Steers booted a beautiful drop
1 kick, from Harvard's 28-yard line short
ly after the opening of the, second quar-
' ter.
. , ' '' Harvard scored its touchdown after
a. e-ain of over SO Tarda, in which the
'If t,riUlant Eddie Casey executed some of
4 t the greatest forward passing ever wit-
nesaed. It was simply wonderful. The
" '' p passing of Murray1 waa ; perfect, and
tliey were well timed, coming at a time
. Vhlch upset Oregon's defense due to
; the pocular style of the formation from
which ,the passes were made.
CARET FEATURES AS USUAL
i tlasey started the march with a gain
ct seven yarda off tackle. He was set
back, on his next effort on the next
clown. The Murray-Casey combination
; i completed a pass for 20 yards. Steers
downing the Crimson back out of bounds.

gain of 17 yards, wfth which a five
yard penalty put the pigskin on the 13-
j i yard line. After two downs. Church,

' BDeed enabled him to sret iwtv from the
I . I Orecon tacklers. Arnold Horween Cbn-
vcrted.'
, Skeet Manerude. called .Into the game
when Steers was taken out as the result
of jolting, . came into the limelight by
making a drop kick from the 28-yard
line after Oregon had succeeded in
smashing its way to Harvard's nine
yard line, only to be set back by a pen
alty. TASSES FAIL IN' FINCH
Manerude's kick put Oregon within
one point ef the Crimson score, and.
though attempt after attempt was made
to ncore by the aerial route in the last
half of ' the game, the breaks were
against tho Oregonians. Three times an
effort was made, but the educated toes
of Steers on two occasions failed, and
Manerude failed on his other attempt.'
In the; final period, with Hilly Felton
tunning the Crimson offensive attack
and with Arnold Horween "powelfing''
Ma way through tho Oregon lino. Har
vard worked the ball to aix inches from
fort was Oregon able to. prevent Har
vard from scoring on the fourth down
as Horween plunged his weighty form
into the line in the final play of the
game. The ball was dead six inches
from the goal line. '
V. JACOBBERGES RECOVERS BALL
over the West as far, as playing ability
After an exchange of punts, in which
Harvard was given the ball on their 20
yard line because Howard of the North
erners touched the ball inside , the 10
yard line, a , touchback, Casey broke
through off tackle for a 16-yard gain.
A. Horween made three, but on the next
down Casey fumbled and Vincent Jacob
berger recovered in mldfleld. He had a
great chance to gain on this play, as
there was not a Harvard man around
him when he fell on the ball.
Oregon made first down, but Steers
lost the ball when he was tackled hard,
Harvard recovering on its 40-yard line.
Ralph Horween punted 19 yards, his
effoft being a high kick, which Jacob
berg fumbled, Hubbard recovering the
ball on Oregon's 40-yard line after two
downs, and Harvard tried ita first for
ward" pass. It was an incomplete one,
but it came near being disastrous, aa
Bill Steera of Oregon had an open field
m front of him, but he stumbled aa he
was about to leap after it. Horween's
effort for a field goal was blocked by
Kenny Bartlett. It was following thia
play that Horween waa Injured in the
scramble for the ball, which had rolled
under the Oregon bench.
TIME UP AT WRO?TO MOMENT
The Oregon backs opened an assault
on Harvard which carried them to Har
vard's 18-yard line, from where Bran
denburg and Steers pulled off a suc
cessful pass for a gain- of 10 yards, bat
the play was disallowed because the
quarter ended before the ball waa put
in play.
On the third down Steers engineered
his first goal. The kick was perfect.
Steers received the klckof f on the eight
yard line and returned tt 14 yards. Ja
cobberger gained one yard, and then the
first "deadman" play was worked for
lour yards, steers followed it with a
long punt, which Murray returned eight
yards to Harvard s 40-yard line. -CRIMSON
SCORES TOUCHDOWN
From this point Harvard opened up.
Casey gained 7 yards but was thrown
for a loss on the second down. On the
next play Casey grabbed off his first
pass and after a couple of more downs
he stepped through Oregon's left side of
the line and sktrted out toward the side
Hues and plucked another pass good for
17 yards. A penalty put Harvard nearer
the goal line and then Church, went
around the end for a touchdown, -
.After an exchange of punts following
the klckoff Oregon pulled the "deadman"
play. Steers gaining 24 yards before he
waa downed by four Harvard men. The
Crimson backs hit hard' and laid him
outv. . ' ' 1
Oregon added eight yards on two
downs and then Manerude attempted a
drop kick. It waa blocked, Branden
burg recovering on the Harvard 45 yard
line. Punts were exchanged and . Ore
gon started to smash the . Crimson line
again. Harvard suffered a 15 yard pen
alty for tHpping and Huntington bucked
the line for 15 yards, being stopped by
Murray. Oregon ran the ball into the
middle of the field and then Manerude
made a successful goal-kick. Score :
Harvard 7, Oregon 6.
Brandenburg made a 26 yard return
of the klckoff and Manerude gained 14
yards on a fake punt run just as the
half ended. j
ANOTHER PASS COMPLETED '
Shortly after the opening of the sec
ond half, Casey completed an air shoot.
Church missing difficult opportunity.
Church fumbled on tha next down Carl
Mauts, Oregon, recovering on the 27
yard line. '
Both teams resorted to punts, Mane
rude signaling for fatr catches. Oregon
steamed up again, making first down in
three plays and then Huntington stepped
through for another big gain. Harvard
then braced and Manerude attempted a
drop kick from the 38 yard Jine, The
pass waa a trifle low and he was forced
to hurry his kick and it went wild. The
period ended shortly afterwards.
STEERS' DROP KICK FAILS
Steers replaced Jacobberger at the
start of the fourth period, and his first
play was a long punt of 68 yards. Har
vard put the ball in scrimmage on the
2t yard line. But with ita one point lead
Harvard played aafe and punted. Brand
enburg gained 10 yards and Harvard was
penalised again for tripping. Steera tried
a drop tflck from the 40 yard line but
failed.
Oregon regained possession after an
exchange of punts on Harvard's 88 yard
line and worked it down to the 21 yard
line. After gaining several yards in
three downs It appeared as though Ore
gon would-be. returned winner, when
Steers dropped, back for a short drop
kick. The effort was blocked, Hollis
Huntington r&vering. Harvard's de
fense was strong,' however, and Mane
rude tried to make a drop kick but
failed. '
OREGON HELD ON OWN INCH LINE
After that play Harvard marched
down the field, being stopped six inches
from the "goal line. Casey came near
getting away on a short forward pass.
After Faxon had replaced Sedgwick,
Horween ripped through for M yards.
He gained two on the next down, putting
the baU on Oregon's 4 yard line. Church
failed to make a gain after getUng a
running start and then Horween tried
to smash his way through, but was
stopped.'
Following the game Coach "Shy"
HunUngton and Trainer Bill Hay ward

pleased with Oregon's showing. Hunt

By Henry L. Farrell
NEW YORK, Jan. 2. (U. P.) All the
East was chirpinK deefully in
chorus today.
, Perhaps no Christmas present put the
fan in such a good mood as Harvard's
7 to victory over Oregon at Pasadena
yesterday. .
In its victory, Harvard sort of lost
ita identity as a Harvard unit. . Captain
Billy Murray's squad is regarded gen
erally as an. Eastern team and Its tri
umph Is considered a restoration of
prestige that was lost when Pacific
coast teams beat Penn and Brown.
The Crimson squad will return to the
Bast with a fixed impression that they
know how to play football in the West.
The scant vtctory that the Cambridge
team was able to score tells just as
well as an analysis of the game that
Hugo Bezdek, Oregon's former coach,
was right when he said Harvard would
have to ifse everything it had to win.
Just as in the Princeton and Yale
games, the widely known Casey, on the
receiving end of forward passes, paved
the way for the lone touchdown of the
game.
The battle also gar two substitutes
a chance to rise to lasting fame. Emu
lating the example of Frank Murray
and Jim Scherrer, fanned pair of second
string glories, Freddie Church and
"Skect" Manerude won for themselves
scats among the noted.
Of course, the Easjt is entitled to be
joyous over the victory. But in the
midst of it there bobs up a memory of
several weeks back, when Harvard first
accepted the call.
"Harvard can go out and play as a
Harvard team, but it can't carry 'the
colons of the Fast because it Is not the
best in the East," the skeptics said, who
feared that history might repeat itself.
But since Harvard won the fans are
all perfectly willing to have the West-

Heavy Fou Protects Ducks

many ducks and many hunters on the
rivers and lakes near Albany during
Itljie past week-end. a dense fog pro
tected the ducks and most of the hunt
ers returned with empty bags.
thunderbolted out of his corner when
the gong sounded, ferociously rushed
Farmer Into a neutral corner and hooked
a terrific short right to his jaw. Tho
bald-pated one fell like a ton of brick
and rested on his elbow until the count
was nearly finished.
JAW HOOK WILTS HIM
Like a sick giant, who saw the end of
the world, he got up and tried to rusl
into a clinch, but the Irish wit and Irish
fists were too quick for such a subter
fuge. Farmer was pushed away with
a lightning left, rushed into his own cor
ner, and while he was vainly trying to
duck a multitude of feints, the Irish boy
hooked him in rapid succession with
right and left to the jaw, and he wilted
with less life in him than the .last-ose
of summer. X dlsn rag lying beside
Farmer would have been an animated
object compared to his limp form. He
was out for fully a minute, and when
he left the ring he was still wobbly and
wondering what was his get-off station.
It wasn't by any means a walkaway
for the Irish youth. l?p until the seventh
round the logger had administered what
i would have been a severe beating to
McCormick. with the Irishman fighting
back furiously when crowded too much.
S EARLY KHOCKED BOWX 1
In the seventh McCormick went to his
knees from a terrible right uppercut
which appeared to be far too low. It
was an apparent and probably an unin
tentional foul, directed low when it went
down from McCormick's guard. Yet,
when the crowd cried against the foul,
the Irishman grinned through gory lips
and waded in for more. From that time
on he fought the logger off his feet and
started the beginning of the end by
extracting an audible grunt from Farmer
by a terrific right to the .pit of th
stomach.'
McCormick's Uon-heartodness and his
apparent (indifference to the most se
vere punishment beat Farmer as much
as did the - short arm rights and, lefts
with which he waa jolted. Farmer
would land his famous right uppercut
and swing flush on the Irishman's jaw,
or' mouth, or stomach, and it would
seem to have no effect at all.

WhUe all felt sympathetic for Muff
Bronson, none was surprised when
Charley White bowled him to the can

fighting. Muff looked scared and

ring today. ,
Muff came out of his corner steptHnr
around and feinting, and finally Jabbed ;

Trams Leave for Home Today
Pasadena, Cal., Jan. 2. (U. P.)
Coach Shy Huntington and his doughty
crew of Oregon football warriors start
back for Eugene tonight, convinced that
they did their best and that the fact
that Harvard nosed them out by 1 point
In yesterday's game Is not a bit to their
discredit.
And Harvard plans to leave within a
few hours' time of Oregon's departure,
convinced that the Pacific coast knows
how to play football.
"Aside from the question of who won.
the game was worth while, if for noth
ing else, to make the East realise that
Western football is to be reckoned with
and that good football teams can grow
west of the Mississippi." declared Coach
Huntington today.
"Harvard showed us absolutely noth
ing new In the way of either offensive
or defensive plays Sha did not have a
thing that teams on the Pacific coast
do not use.
HunUngton felt that Harvard's for
ward pass was the most dangerous play
Oregon had to solve.
"I'm sorry we lost," Huntington went
on. "There is no team in the world I
would rather beat than Harvard, but if
we had to lose, there is no teao I would
rather loo to. I'm thoroughly satisfied
and only hope to get a chance at an
Eastern team again next year." "
