The closing football game of the season played Saturday at Portland between the OAC and Multnomah teams was one of the most closely matched games of the year and the fact that the one winning point was made by Multnomah in the last two min utes of the final half made the struggle both exciting and spectacular. Incidentally the score of the game is the same as on the last meeting between the elevens three years ago. While the scores were made in a different manner by the collegians, Mult nomah s were made almost in the same manner, except that both scores on the last occasion were made in the second half, while Saturday the clubmen reg istered a touchdown in each half. Captain Wolff, of the "Aggies," was unable to play, and the team was deprived of his kick ing ability. The "Aggies went into the . 1 . 1 Til " 1 game with that oia-time spirit of theirs well in evidence, and succeeded in giving the clubmen as good as they sent at all stages of the game. With the excep tion of the goal from the field scored by Keck for OAC all of the scores were more or less the result of pure luck. The "Farm ers" tried the forward pass" on several occasions, and while they made but. scant gains, they were penalized only once tor an illegal pass. Despite their poor luck at this style of play, they tried it again, and this time it, resulted in one of the sensation al plays of the game. The first half ended with the ball in the possession of OAC on Multno mah's 40-yard line. Score 6 all. When 27 minutes of the allot ed 30 minutes of the second half had elapsed, OAC was in posses sion of the ball on Multnomah's 35-yard line. Multnomah held grandly for two downs, and Keck, for OAC, tried for a goal from the field, but fell short and wide. Stott tried a double pass but Jamieson broke through and' tossed Slaker back for a loss. This reverse caused Stott to kick, but, most unusual for him, his punt carried wide and went out of bounds for hardly 15 yds advanced. The ball was brought to the center of the field, and without any preliminary stunts, Keck tried a field goal. Kelly passed the ball beautifully, Gag non placing it neatly, and Keck booted it squarely between the Multnomah goal posts for a goal from the field, making the score 10 to 6 in favor of OAC. Only two minutes remained of play and the rooters believed that OAC had won the game, but, like all football games, it de veloped that it was not over un til time was called. .Rader kicked off to OAC and after one attempt at gain, Keck kicked to Siott, who caught the ball on the OAC 52-yard line. Multnomah's lit tle quarterback started on of his famous returns, and before he wound up he was behind the students' goal post for the score that won the game. &kh' , 1 he expected battle between Continued on second page
