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.

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

were made and then Westover

he is gone. He was a very quiet .

attention to business and kindly
disposition he had drawn around
him a host of friends who will
be pained to hear of his death.
He was a member of the W. O.
