From Makinj Touchdowrif
PASADENA. Jan. 1 By the

even to mix.
It waa a heartbreaking game U
loae for the Oregon players and spec

argument during the gnater part of
the context and made the first score
earl 1n the aecond quarter, when
Steers drop-kicked a goal.
After the kickoff Caaey got away
on two lung pan sea, bringing the ball
near the Oregon goal line. A few
plungea put it over and Harvard kick
ed goal, giving thel the lead of a 7 to
S acore.
Oregon atarted in, in earnest, and
Steers pulled a beautiful run around
right rnd, but waa tackled by five
Harvard husk lea and waa laid out.
Coach Huntington then sent in little
"Skeeter" Manerude, Oregon's 12ii
pound quarterback, and Oregon work
ed tile ball to within a few yards of
Harvard's goal. A penalty aent them
back to the 22 yard line, and Maner
ude dropped the ball over, bringing the
acore to 7 to 6.
The third quarter waa a kicking
duel, but Oregon finally, by line
plunges, took tho ball close to Harv
aril's goal line. An attempted forward
pane was fumbled for losa to Ore
gon, and Manerude tried to kick
goal from the 46 yard line, but fail
ed.
The last period waa a desperate
struggle on the part of Oregon to
score and Harvard to keep her own
goal from danger.which it succeeded
in doing. "
FlrM Quarter
Hnrvard won the toaa and elected
to receive nnd take the south goul.
Steers kicked off, Harvard running
I the ball back to ita 25 yard line. Ore-
gon recovered the ball on Harvard? 30
yard line which with one or two ex-.!
iccptions Oregon kept the ball in I
Harvard, territory most of the quart
i er. But little kicking waa Indulged
in. The quarter endcifwith the ball
' in Oregon possession on Harvard
15 yard line.
Score Oregon fc. Harvard 0.
Second Quarter
Oregon acored a field goul shortly
after the aecond quarter began, two
forward passes to Casey of Harvard
netted big gains enabling Harvard to
score a touch down shortly thereafter.
Harvard kicked the goul which was an
easy one.
Steers made a long run around right
end and was laid out when tackled
by the five men who landed on him.
He wanted to stay in but the coach
ordered him out and sent in Manerude
shortly before the end of the quarter,
Oregon got within a few yards of

Third Quarter
The third period developed into a
kicking content between Manderude,'
for Oregon and Murray for Harvard
The ball was kept in Oregon temti.ry J
the firat part of the period but Ore-!
gon, by steady line plunging after (
'.ne aicaing period naa enueu ioaK me
hall into Harvard territory and kept
it there during the latter part of the
period.
Murray, Harvard's quarterback, waa
taken out of the game : hortly before
the end of the period.
Manderude attempted to drop kick
on the 40 yard line just before the
whistle blew and tha ball went to
Harvard on tha 20 ymVd line. Church
kicked out to Manderude who. signaled
for a fair catch on hia owr 45 yard
line. :
Oregon fumbled an attempted pass

Weather ia Ideal
PASADENA, Cal., Jan. 1 .Pick
ing the winner in advance of the game
was the favorite pursuit here todav
in the game between the University of',
Oregon and Harvard at Tournament .
Park this afternoon. Backers for '
both teams were morally and financi -
ally plentiful. Some saw the augury
of Harvard's success in the ,cool
weather, but the Oregoni&ns said that
they are used to cool weather, too,
and will benefit as much as Harvard.
Ticket speculators did a thriving
business, but warnings have been is
sued that bogus tickets are being of
fered and made many war-. More
than 31,000 people will crowd into the
park.
The weather conditions are Ideal.
Light overcoats were necessary for
those who went to the park early.
No alabis for a possible defeat are;
even suggested by either team. The '
players have been well coached and
trained and it was felt on all sides'
that the best team would win.
The teams lined up at tho beginning
of the game as follows:

MUCH BUILDING
ACTIVITY DURING
THE PAST YEAR
Many New Garages Built and
Under way and other Busi
ness Houses are Construct
ed in tht City.
RESIDEN CES ARE BUILT
Outlook for 1920 is Said to be
Even More Promising than
the Excellent Season Just
Closed.
The year 1919 waa the moat
prosperous that has been experi
enced In Albany since 1912, and
it is doubted If even that year
could equal the one just cloedl
from the standpoint of building
activity Business buildings arose on all
sides and there was almoet en epi
demic of new garage buildings. Z.
M. Ralston and Son started the garage
activity by erecting a beautiful new
building at the corner of Seventh and.
Lyon Streets, to take care of their
growing business. The cost was be
tween $8,000 and $10,000. Then fol
lowed the Highway Garage, Inc., wha
built a fine two-story faced brick
biulding at First and Baker Streets
at a cost of about $18,000, giving tiien
one of the best garages in the state.
This was followed by the commenc
ing of construction on the newj Cwu
story garage building of n simitar
type by the Murphy Motor Cov at
Second and Eellsworth Streets. The
brick work is now nearly done and -the
biulding is being rushed to com
pletion as rapidly aa possible. Fol
lowing this came thi announcement:
of the Pfeiffer estate of a. one-story
brick at Second and Ellsworth for the
Day Motor Company, and work is go
ing ahead rapidly on this structure.
The Albany Steam Laundry was the
first to commence building operation
during the year and in September
moved into their new, modern plant at
Second and Tivrr Sh-:ct3. FaOosn
ing the fire which wiped out the Ne&
ergrll packing plant, the owners lost
no time in setting to work again and
soon had under way on the rufrw of
the old building a three-story build
ing of concrete that is without a peer
in the state from point of modern
conveniences. The cost of the buihf
inc is about $45 000. The Far Wcs
Mf". Co., added to the building opera
tions by constructing an addition to
their factory on South Ferry Street
and other factories and business
