The final score waa 7 to 0 In fa vor of the combined forces of U. 0. C, California and Stanford .against the aggregation representing Yale, Harvard and Princeton but the far western players, led, by Shaver, gave a more superior exhibition of offen sive football than the margin Indi cated, The east, after staving off three western drives to Its five yard Una In the first three periods, broke the scoreless deadlock by gaining touchdown early In the final quarter on the first bounce, under unusual circumstances and through the alert- nesa of a Yale boy named Burton Strange. A dazzling 38-yard broken field run by Harvard's Eddie Mays, Just before the third quarter ended, put the east In scoring position for the first time. Big Ed R"tau of Ynle tried a placement kick, with the ball on the west's 27-yard line, but It was partially blocked and bounced off at " tangent, still on the playing field. Aa the atartled westerners fumbled for t1- ball around their own five-yard stripe, Strange came bounding through to p'c' It up and r-.oe across the goal line. Unfortu nnt'"y for the visiting boys, Eddie Mays' attempted dropklck for the ex tra pc' waa blocked and the west waa quick to seize 'ie opportunity, Fr- their own 35-yard line, after Rotnn's '-koff, the westerners lugged the ball straight down the field, 69 yards In 16 plays, with Shaver doing mist of " e work and finally diving over hla right tar'ile for the touch down on Tourth down, af'er the sturdy eaatern defense twice stopped the rival charge with loan than a foot to negotiate. Shaver's longest gain In this sequence of p'-; 3 was 20 yards but he proved himself easily the ' -'lest ball ce-rier on the field. The decisive point that il Inched the west's victory waa place-kicked by Ed Klrw-n of Cali fornia, r'ht halfback. The cheering, In a variety of lang uages, the brilliance of the "show" put on by the 1000 piece Olympic band and the Olymplo chorus of 1000 voices, all contributed to one of the mot "nusual spectacles In American football history a mid-summer night's dream of gridiron. 4 HOW THEY STANDS Lit.... m.i n : c- rVatlunul.
