Close and Exciting
Game Saturday.
ELEVEN TO TEN THE SCORE
Aggies Had Game Well Won
Until Last Two Minutes in
Second Half.
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' ,
