That Willamotte University's foot ball team is becoming known far and near Is shown by the following from the Seattle Post-Intolligencer, in which a deserved tribute is paid to Coach Sweet land: By Gee. ' Strange dreams, empty hopes and a well drilled football machine are not the only iiniiRiml things about the Wil lamette univorsity. Every day fringe something from Salem, Or., that stamps the University of Willamette as a place ' where ordinary human beings have no place or purpoie. Not very often is tho star halfback of a football team anything but a physical marvel, a physical tower of brawn and sinew, yet tho biggost man at Willam ette univorsity today is Halfback "Tiny" Small. Small is no larger than his name suggests as a matter of fact, ho weighs only a mere 128 pounds, which is light for even a minor high school football team. Some one thought the Willamette people bad only druumcd his nnme was Small since he put over the touchdown that conquered Oregon, but this same little gridiron hero played last year at Willamotte and he is found in the group picture of Willamette team embodied in the 1013 rule book, Small's nimble footwork, nerve and quick. brain work defeated tho U. of O. recently. The score of 6 to 3 was en tirely the work of the tiny halfback. Flitting down the field like ft butterfly, under the punt of one of bis own men Small scooped the ball when It bounded from the hands of the Oregon defensive quarterback and threw himself over the line for the winning touchdown. Now t 8ale.ni scribe has discovered the secret of that touchdown. Dr. Sweetland is uppoeed to have built up ft play that would allow Small to snenk down the field unnoticed In the hope that just such ft fumble would be made. Maybe Dr. Swectland based that play on Tlaff ' dream. The Willamotte university turns out m wonderful team considering the han dicaps. With only 'ii per cent tho ma terial given the conference coaches, Sweetland ' teams have always given Oregon elevens ft battle. Ho has cap tured tho non-conference championships in Dobiesque regularity since his ad vent at Salem, and this year defeated Oregon with a team that averages only 1(10 pounds, less than many high school teams In tho Northwest. Two years ago the Methodists battled the Oregon Aggies to ft 8 to 3 score at Corvallis, the Aggies encountering the stiTfest kind of opposition from the peppery Willamette team. Last year Oregon had difficulty in amassing 12 points against Sweetlhnd 's proteges.
