All agreed that they had spent
very pleasant evening and hoped
In a game of football that
would have been creditable to
the first team of the respective
colleges, Captain Walker's team
defeated the U of O's second team
by the score ot 5 to o Friday af
ternoon on the local field. The
score suggests the relative
strength of the respective teams
and tht stubbornness of the con
test. Both sides experienced lit
tle difficulty in advancing the
ball yet at times neither team
could make yardage and were
forced to punt. Porterfield was
by far the superior of Oregon's
men iu the art of booting the
oval.
Oregon kicked to Corvallis,
who fumbled on their 25-yard
line, and Eugene recovered the
ball. By rapid formations and
quick plays they plunged through
the opposing lines for good gains.
It looked very much like a vic
tory for Eugene. They were
pena'ized and in their charges to
make up the. yardage the ball
was fumbled and ' captured by
OAC on the 20-yard line.
The ball slowly started up the
field never again to visit OAC's
end of the field. Sweek, Wal
ker and Finn were hurled against
the line with such force that Eu
gene was unable to stop them.
Every plunge yielded good gains
for the farmers. Eugene took a
brace and held near the center of
the field; Porterfield punted to
their 10-yard line; they advanced
the bill ten yards and being
unable to make yardage they
punted. The remainder of the
half was played with the ball
near the center of the field and
ended with no score for either
side.
The second half Oregon re
ceived the kick-off on their 15
yard line. They fumbled and
Darby fell on the ball. Corval
lis' nervy backs alternately ham
mered the line and slowly advanc
ed the ball from the 35-yard
line, at last forcing it over the
line for the first and only touch
down. Rose failed to kick the
goal.
Corvallis received the next
kick-off on the 35-yard line.
Sweek, the right half, got
through for 20 yards. The tack
les advanced the ball, until by
end runs and plunges the oval
was again on Oregon's field.
here it remained in close prox-
ltmtv to their goal. ,but OAC
could not succeed in making
another score.
The game closed with the ball
in Oregon's end of the field. The
ast half was decidedly "in OAC's
tavor.
Finn, Porterfield, Sweek and
Walker did .splendid work for
the home team, .while the backs
and ends showed up well for the
visitors.
