It was announced that the men uld probably take a nisht train to fnn Francisco and go thence home with as littlo deluy us possible. ' Coach Huntington and his men felt tho natural reaction today, and were worrying about whut the northweBt would suy to them. They took the attitude that their home folks would consider them a sample of the justly celebrated Tillamook cheese. How ever, loyal Oregon graduates, foot ball fans, and sporting writers galore managed to hearten them, by demon strating beyond..- .doubt, .that "if" tneir luck bad' been r. little bettor they would have beeii ac therlong end of tho figures and wilhoat' any "if" that they had plnyed'a fine game, giving Harvard all ii could manage. and had nothing to worry over. Itoth coaches stood by their senti ments expressed last night, which were, as given by Fisher of Harvard, that Oregon had a better team than he expected, and by Huntington that "Harvard has a groat football team."

Happy over Its victory over the football team of tho University of Oregon here yesterday ljy a score of"7 to G, the Harvard eleven planned to start back home today. The Oregonioi naturally disappointed at losing, but declaring "Harvard had a great team, tentatively planned to begin tho trip back fo Eugene tomorrow Coach "Shy" Huntington of. the Lemon-Yellow aggregation said his men would go back to the university with the knowledge they had played as hard and as clean a game as they could and convinced they had made a good showing. Harvard made its points on a touch down by Church and a clean goal from touchdown by A. Horween. Ore gon scored from goals from the field by Steers and Manerud. The story of the game," said the Los Angeles Times, "is a story of Oregon fight and condition against a well drilled collection of young giants. It was a hard game, one of the kind in which the teams play the kind of football that wears and takes off weight. Harvard fortunately had a string of substitutes almost as strong as the first team men and had the game lasted ten minutes longer would probably have run up a large score. Oregon s stand on the two inch line was magnificent, but she was getting tired. Considering the resources of the two colleges the game was a victory for western fqot- hall, ana the time Is not rar distant when the championshif?will go to the Pacific coast, at leasjifor a year."
