VOL XL V. CORVALLIS, BENTON COUNTY, OEEGOff, TUESDAY, DEC.l, 1908. , NO. 91). WASHINGTON WHIPS AGRICULT URSTS Thanksgiving Game Was on Fast Field. WIN THIRTY-TWO TO NOTHING I itercollegiate Struggle Ends in Victory and Champion ship for Erergreen State. The football game played on Thanksgiving day between the OAC and University of Wash . ington team 8 at Seattle, is fairly told in the following special from the Sound City : ' Before the biggest crowd that has witnessed a football game in Seattle this year, the University of Washington cleared its title to the Northwest championship last Thursday by defeating the Ore gon -Agricultural College team by a score of 32 to 0. While the" score may ' be too large to indicate accurately the comparative strength of the two teams, Washington was clearly entitled to every point she made and, as a matter of fact, came within a hair of scoring two more touchdown--, OAC holding on her one-vard line. 21 ir it That Will Crowd Entire The day and field were ideal. The grandstand and bleachers were filled half an hour before the kick-off and something like 100 automobiles were standing at either end of the field. Denny Field, on which the game was played, is always dry, and the ground was lightning fast, emi nently suited for open play. As a consequence, 'ong runs were much in evidence. Washington showed superiori ty at all stages of the -game. Eakins had the advantage over Wolff in punting, by a few yards oh' each kick. In" addition, Eakins got his i kicks higher, giving his ends plenty of time to get down. The Washington ends nailed the recipient of a punt in his tracks time after., time, while OAC's s punts we're always' re turned from five to fifteen yards. Washington was stronger, both on offense and defense, than the visitors. There was a finish to her open plays that did not "show with the "Aggies." Washington handled the forward pass beau tifully, although she did not use it a great deal. For 20 minutes in the first half OAC was unable to do anything at all at carrying the ball. Later, however, the visitors made better headway against the Washington defense and at the close of the half had carried the ball about 100 vards to Washington's 325. ; ' In the second half the .Aggies played better ball, although not consistently. Early in the half by straight football the visitors took the ball 40 yards down the field. Washington scored three touchdowns in the half, how Swecpii KcdiMions Oarliifeiits Not a man should Sale of Surplus Stock of Fi Made Suits and Overcbits Stock td be Ite&ucecL Duriiig' December ever, by brilliant open play.1" V Washington's first touchdown came in the - first half when Grimm received a forward pass, and raced 55 yards across the goal line..
