THE EUGENE GUARD
THRILL IS BIGGEST THING OF ALL IN ATHLETICS
Fans Keep Interested When They Are Kept On Edge Ten Big Baskethall Games
Good Illustrations cf Case
Yesterday was a glorious day for
the Orison Agricultural college. Her
basketball team, defeated on the Cor
vallis floor, came back and won from
the University of Oregon quintet by
a score of .'U to IMi lust night. The
rooks, beaten at ('orvuliis by tin
Oregon frosh. turned the tables hero
In the afternoon, and made it another
Aggie victory, 34 to 21.
The varsity game, starting bad and
ending the name way for Oregon, was
n h full of thrills as a forest is of
trees. Twice, in the desperate last
half, the sroro was within one point
of being tied, once when it stood
'2't to L'l oud the other time when it
was il!l to 28. The Aggies, however,
managed to cling to the lead they had
taken at the start of the game, and
In a lout-minute rally rolled in the
points that tucked the contest away.
Oregon went to sleep while the Ag
gies romped in the first few minutes,
and when the awakening came the
penre stood 20 to G, at the end of the
half.
The last half was as torrid a battle
as basketball fons could ever wish,
and the scoro never varied more than
five points in difference between the
two teams.
Little ''Swede' Westergren, speedy
Oregon guard, and Brown, renter for
O. A. were tied for high point
honors, with 12 markers apiece.

Jn rowing, a big "kick" is ohtslned
when two college eights near the fin

And so it goes. The spirting fra
