SPEIDELL'S KICKS DID IT.
Washington end O A C Each Score a Touch
down, feat Spetfall stakes two Place
: Kicks amd Added Tea Points. .
Coach Herbold and his aggre
gation of football heroes from old
O A C returned from Seattle on
yesterday's West Side train.
They were given an ovation at
the depot by their fellow students
and many admirers from town
who had assembled to greet them.
While the score' shows that
the "farmers" went down to de
feat before the Washington Uni
versity eleven at Seattle, Satur
day, the details show that the
Oregonians played their oppon
ents to a standstill This was
something more than the most
ardent apmirers ot the orange
had hoped lor. Everything was
against the local eleven, and the
watchword was "hold down the
score." Football cranks ot Cor
vallis and the OAC have gotten
past the stage of childish enthus
iasm, so manifest in communities
new to football, where a victory
early in the season turns the
heads .of devotees and leads them
to proclaim tbeir team world
beaters.
These things were taken into
consideration: .
Washington University had
not been scored against this sea
son, it deteated tne 'AU-Uiub' '
team of Seattle last Tuesday by
a score of 24 to o. Its members
out-weighed the OAC team on
an average of eight pounds to
the man. Pilkington, considered
by many the bcstall-round play
er on the "farmers' " team, was
suffering with a lame ankle and
could not play, and Nash, upon
whom so much depended, owing
to his position as full back, was
sick. More than this, Washing
ton was to play on her own fiield
in the presence of her supporters,
and her men were not not fatigu
ed from two days of travel.
S.o when the news reached
Corvallis by wire Saturday, that
the final score was 16 to 6, the
crowd of enthusiasts who had
assembled at the telegraph office,
looked upon the result as a vic
tory for O A C.
But the story of the game
which appears in the Seattle pa
pers, shows that the "farmers"
really played their opponents an
even game. The university team
carried the ball over the OAC
goal line in seven minutes after
Nash kicked ofl, without the
"farmers" ever having the ball.
The boys were nervous and could
not pull themselves together.
Had Washington kicked off, the
story might have been different.
When Nash kicked offagain the
"farmers", had settled down to
business. Washington was held
for downs and Root was sent over
for a touchdown after two minutes
of play. These vere the only
touchdowns of the game, and
without Seidell's place kicks, the
score would have resulted in a tie.
In the second half, Washington
kicked to Oregon's 15-yard line.
Back and forth the ball went until
but 15 seconds of play remained
and Washington was further from
O AC's goal than she was when
the half opened. Speidell was
called upon for another place kick
from the 30-yard line, and he did
what he might not do again in a
dozen attempts made a success
ful kick from the side line.
That Washington's success was
due to Speidell's kicking, the Se
attle Times supplies this evidence :
"Even though every "one of
those eleven young young fellows
who fought so nobly and welt for
the state 4U' deserves all kinds of
growlers of praise,, there is a cer
tain part of a certain young man
that must go down in the poetic
history of the University enshrin
ed in the halo of a glorious memo
ry. ' Quarterback Speidell's right
leg saved the day for Washing
ton."
The Seattle Times gives the fol

DETAILS OF THE GAME
. Washington won the toss and
chose the south goal. Nash
kicked fifty yards down the field,
"Spy" running back ten. Wells
skirted right end for five yards,
and Strauss found left for fifteen.
A center play netted two, and
Wells made eight around right
Wilt went through center for a
vard. Wells was good for two,
Strauss one, and Wilt made the
distance. Strauss skirted left
end for three Yards and Wells
right end for five. Wells again
made two, although Wilt failed
in a try for center. Then, be
hind splendid interference, Wells
went down the field for fifteen
yards, and Strauss added three
more on a left end play.- By
this time the ball was on Ore
gon's five-yard line and Maxey
Wells cut that down to four, and
down, Strauss found an opening
for the first touchdown, Speidell
kicking an easy goalTLTime, 7
min. Score, Washington, 6;
Oregon o.
After the next kick-off both
Wells and Wilt tailed to gaini
and Speidell was lorced to kick,
the ball advancing only ten yards.
Nash smashed center for three
and again for one. Root fonnd
a yard through tackle and Wil
liams skipped around left end for
a total of ten. Root on the next
play went him one -better by
tearing off fifteen yards around
right end on one of the prettiest
runs of the day A tackle back
play netted two yards and Wil
liams found left end for five more
and Root shot by left jehd for the
touchdown. Nash kicked goal.
Score, Washington, 6; Oregon, 6.
Alter Speidell had kicked thir
ty yards down the field Oregon
tried the local line four - times
and it was Washington's ball.
In two tries Wells and Strauss
carried the ball the necessary five
yards, althougn it took four plays
to duplicate the trick. ' Strauss
again skirted the end for, three
yards, when : Washington was
given five yards for-; an off side
play. It was then that Strauss
tried his first place kick and
made the goal. Score, Washing
ton, 11; Oregon 6.
Nash again kicked fifty yards,
only to have Spiedell 'carry the
sphere back fifteen. Wells was
good for five, and Strauss behind
elegant interference was good for
ten. A left tackle netted two,
and a right tackle also netted
two. Wells and Hill .were both

Oregon's ball.
gam,
and it was
After two plays Oregon kicked
thirty yards, to again take the
ball on downs. Like ; Washing
ton, however, they were unable to
make the necessary five yards,
and then the 'Varsity proceeded
to literally walk down the field,
Strauss makiag four, Wilt five,
Wells ten and again, for fifteen,
when the ball went to Oregon on
her twenty-yard line for unlawful
use of the hands. They were
only able to make two plays,
however, when the time .was up,
and the first half ended . with
Washington 11; Oregon 6.
In the second half Washington-
kicked forty yards to immediate
ly regain the ball on downs. Af
ter Wells found right end for' ten
yards, Strauss was tacltled for no
gain and the next play the Var
sity fumbled and Lantz fell on
the ball after it -had -rolled ten L
yards into the enemy's territory.
Oregon's left tackle here did
some fine work, and it was main
ly through his ability, to break
through and tackle that Wash
ington lost on .downs. It was a
narrow shave, however, for the
"U" had worked the ball down
to the one-yard line. On the
second down Oregon kicked
twenty yards to hold atjance for
downs. It was at this stage that
the magnificent tackling of Billy
Hill forced the visitors to punt
forty yards down the field, and
again the Varsity took up the
weary march toward-the goal.
After trying left end twice for
no gain. Wells shotaround right
for fifteen yards, Oregon here
took a wonderful brace and again
took posession of the ball. On
the first play Oregon kicked lour
yards, L,antz fumbled and a
Webfoot man fell upon the ball.
After three plays, however, they
were again forced to kick, the
ball going twenty yards. Wilt
made a yard through left tackle,
and Wells made the , distance
around right end. Strauss skirt
ed the end for four yards, and
Wells again made the coveted
five. Wells then found tackle
for five, and again end for fire.
Wilt went through left tackle for
four, and Strauss duplicated the
trick. Wells then made his
sensational run to Oregon's one
yard line only to be called back by
Referee Jones, who declared a lo
cal substitute ran on the field.
Spiedell's great place kick then
took place, and just after iuiiDacK
Nash for the last time sent the
pigskin whirling down the field
tor a full fifty yards, the whistle
blew and the firstj big game of the
year came to an end, with the
score of Washington 16, Oregon

Enthusiastic Grange Meeting.
Corvallis Grange held its first
fall meeting last Saturday after
noon, in the room in thenew ag
ricultural hall provided for
grange meetings. There was an
unusually large attendance, and
much enthusiasm was manifest
ed. Citizens generally, as well
as members of the organization,
who donot attend these meetings
are losinp- much in the way of
entertainment - arid valuable in
formation. Hereafter open meet
ings will be held, and the public
is extended a cordial invitation
to be present"
One of the principal objects of
the grange is protection of its
members, and assistance of un
fortunate brothers. The local
grange, at its meeting Saturday,
gave evidence of its sincerity in
this regard by voting a substan
tial sum to be devoted to the re
lief of members of the order who
suffered loss during the recent
forest fires in this state.
An important : and laudable
action by : the grange, was the
unanimous adoption 01 a set 01
resolutions, endorsing the propo
sition of Superintendent Denman,
that the grange of the county co
operate with the county school
superintendent in holding a se-
ries of "parents' meetings' '
throughout the county, in lieu of
the local institutes which it has
been the custom to hold.
Superintendent Denman's plan
is thus outlined:
Let the grange, in the locality
where the "Parents' Meeting" is
to be held, agree, to devote an
afternoon session to this work.
The date of the . meeting will be
announced in due time, for the
notice to be read at the session
preceeding the "Parents' Meet
ing." This session to be devot
ed to educational work will be an
open one, to which teachers, pa
rents and all friends will be in
vited. Only the afternoon ses
sion ot the grange will be taken
up with this work.
These meetings will be held
four or five times a year in differ
ent parts of the county. Thus
each grange will be' called upon
to devote only one afternoon each
year to this work.
By passing the following set ot
resolutions, Corvallis Orange, en
dorses Supt. Denman's plan and
proves its interest in the schools
of Benton county and its readi
ness to assist in their advance
ment: Whereas. One of the objects of the
grange is to foster the public schooll" and
support every movement that will tend
to mold good citizenship;
Whereas, The grange and the school
are closely connected in their interests
and their welfare , thus the success of
one is the success of the other : therefore
be it
Resolved, By Corvallis Grange No.
242, of Benton county, Oregon, that the
plan of holding "Parents' Meetings," as
outliaed by Supt. Denman in his letter
to ne, receives our most hearty endorse
ment. We pledge to him our earnest co
operation and support in carrying the
said plan into execution.
