Northerner Superior Condi' tion was Apparent. BY PAl't, I.OWRV. Freddie Church, straddling through a mixed mass of players on a wide end run, snipped off the distance that meant victory for Harvard over Oregon yesterday. The score was 7 to Church's dash was for only 10 yards, measured straight down the field, but before he had stretched his long limbs to a point directly behind the goal posts he had covered (Otnething like 70 yards. Church's run was one of those thrilling occurrences that make football.

Oregon had drawn first blood, when BUI Steers, standing on Harvard's 25-jard-llne. had smashed the ball squarely between the uprights. Hitrvard immediately got down to business And packed the oval to the Oregon 18-yard-line by clever use of the forward pass. AI array to Casey. STARTS O.V TOUR.

ft A 3-yard gain by Arnold HOfweea and an Oregon offside put the leather on the 10-yard from where Church started on his tour around the Lemon-Yellow right end. The play began at a point about IS yards from the west sideline. Church swung away behind a bank of per fect interference, and threaded hid way through unrushing tackier, crossing the goal line In the far corner of the field. Here he doubled back behind the last stripe, and, fairly leaking tacklers, as he bounced along, planted the ball between the posts, so that Arnold Horween had no ditticulty in kicking goal. It was this dash behind the line of Church's made victory certain for Harvard.

Had he been downed farther from the posts Horween might have missed the try for goal from a more dlfUcult angle. Harvard's margin of victory was this one point, which Church's deserait run made possible. ALL IN SECOND. AH the scoring was packed int (Continued on Third Page.)

Harvard, oldest guardian of eastern football reclaimed the continental championship by a single point. Harvard, traditional Titan among universities, wan forced to fight for Its football Ufa. LARGELY TECHNICAL. I Harvard, hoary with Goliathiiih football lore, defeated these north- i land defenders of the West, 7 to 6, In a bitter, bruising, exhausting battle in which honors were so even that the victory scorned largely technical. But the Crimson line remained unsullied, and that In iWelf was tantamount to an overwhelming victory from the Harvard viewpoint.

An early three-point lead, was overcome when Harvard, on a pair of fast passes, Murray to Casey, and a sensational run by Church, put the ball over the Lemon-Yellow line. Oregon countered with a second drop kick, putting the score on a 7 to 6 basis. This was in the first half, and tne score hung on this, fine balance until the end. SUPERIOR KICKING, Oregon owes its points to super--' lor kicking. WithoTH the skilled feet of eteers and Manerud, each of whom drove a drop kick between the Harvard posts, it would have been blanked.

And yet strangely, it was later a double failure In this same department which cost Oregon a victory. In the final quarter within the space of five minutes both Steers and Manerud missed drop kicks from an easy range. Had elihnr of them succeeded his fame would gone down through vales of tnemory as the man who defeated Harvard, monarch of eastern football The battle swayed uncertainly In the flrst quarter.

Ralph Uorween tried for a drop kick, and th kick wan blocked by charging Oregon players-' who ripped through the heavy Crimson line, goon after this the giant Horween went oui wun a spuntrrea collar bone and dislocated shoulder.

This time his aim was true, but his foot rather unsteady. He sent the ball over with a spiral, and was fortunate to niako It.

After one failure from the fifty-yard line, Majiorud duplicated the achievement of Steers, and sent the hall sailing ttver the bar from the thirty-yard line.
