(Exclusive) Stanford's superior power overwhelmed Oregon State with a 25-to-7 score here thisf Spears' Team Fails to Show Anything at All BY BRAVEN DYER They've been kidding us.

Here the Olympic Games were billed to open in August, 1932. when as a Vs 1 i f- 1 4MI pound mosquito! 5K The Oregon Attack Was Impotent, to Say Carroll photo shows an Oregon back driving Into "Stonewall" Erskine at tackle.

A slim crowd of 18,000 persons saw the Except for a few seconds in the first period, when the Beavers were caught, off guard by Ken Affler-baugh, third-string Indian half. io ran 81 yards on an off -tackle reverse for a touchdown; Oregon State had battled on almost even terms with Stanford, the score at the start of the fourth quarter being 13 to 7.

FANS IN PRAYER Fans on the Cardinal side of the stadium were sitting on the edges of their seats, piaying that some of the Oregon State passes might not connect to tie up the count, or even give the Northerners a 1-polnt lead. But the invaders lost the ball 4n downs, were penalized 15 -yards to put the pigskin on the Stanford 42-yard line in the Cards' possession, and then came Allen's big He faded back and tossed a beautiful 30-yard heave which went direct to its mark, which was Don Col-vin, rangy left end, who was away in the clear and ran the remaining 15 yards for the score that cinched the ball game and broke the spirit of the fighting visitors. Simply as further evidence that the Staters were worn out and disheartened, Lacombe intercepted one of their last-minute hope passes and ran from midfleld to their 20-yard stripe a minute or so later. From this point, Lacombe and Rintala alternated as smacking the Beaver line, with Rintala eventually going over for the final score of the day to make it 25 to 7. Pop Warner scrossed up all the experts in his first conference contest, starting his "shock troops," which consisted mostly of third-string men.

Not only did the old man start them; he kept them in the game the entire first half, where they battled all Oregon State could offer for a thirty-minute session of 7-to-7 football. Doub and Wittenau were ends; Hunt and Prclsnik, tackles; Dawson and Kite, guards; Johnson, center; Targhetta, quarter; Afflerbaugh and Hardy, halves, and young Jack Hill-man, fullback. Right at the start, this combination was pushed back into its own territory by the exceptional kicking of Davis, Beaver left end. Stanford had kicked out to her own 37-yard line on one of these occasions, ajid from this point Oregon State began a drive that ended Burprislngly with an Indian score.

3rible. There is ERNy tno other way PlNCKeRJ ot describing It debacle. Oregon folded up like an accordlan and even the good Dr. Spears was so disgusted he sat on the bench between halves and watched the lootings stunts while his squad tested. You can't blame the Trojans for hat happened.

They were a foot-. ball team and Oregon was any-. thing else but. But if the South-; em California players waste any time patting themselves on the back for what they ddl yesterday they're a lot more foolish than this writer suspects. They dU their work thoroughly and convincingly and are deserving of praise for this but victory over an outfit such as represented Oregon Is certainly nothing to crow about.

The Web-feet didn't belong in the same ln-closure with the Trojans. FIELD DAY FOR MOHLER It was a field day for Orv Mohler again. If Dean Cromwell doesn't have Frank Wykoff in good shape for the 100 meters next summer he could do a lot worse than call on Mohler. Orv played what amounted to one solid quarter, scored two touchdowns on sensational long runs and threw a pass which re-' suited in another. It would have been doubly horrible to watch had Orv played two-thirds of the game or even half of It Orefon didn't look so bad until Mohler intercepted a pass in the second quarter and ran 54 yards for his second touchdown.

After that most of the Wegfeet quit fighting and the game developed into a romp. In case you must have the harrowing details the touchdowns were scored in the following order: Erny Pinckert took a pass from Bhaver on Oregon's 10-yard line and ran over the goal line unattended near the end of the first- quar ter. i Mohler broke through the line of i scrimmage, shook off two tacklers, I whirled, reversed his field and raced 47 yards for touchdown number two. This happened soon after the second quarter dawned. 1 Two minutes later Orv intercepted a pass on his own 46-yard line, gathered speed with amazing suddenness and galloped 54 yards for number three.

PALMER SCORES Standing on his 39-yard line, Mohler throw a perfect strike to Ford Palmer, end, who took the ball to his manly bosom on the 14-yard stripe and cross the goal line standing up for number four. Just before the half ended Bob Ersklne recovered Rotenberg's fumble on Oregon's 31-yard mark and the Trojans, with Blanchard Beatty at the helm, smashed down the field. Beatty ran around right end for number five from the 1-yard line. Troy's regulars went back to work (Continued on Page 2, Column 6) IRISH SMACK SUNDAY, MORNING, W'!

Facing a deficit of 13 points! at the end of I -the first quar-f 4 i ter, apparently on the road to a heavy beating, this game and' brilliant Crim son array tearing back in the second quarter to take the lead by a point and then held "BARR.V jJOOK3 this slim ad- vantage the rest of the afternoon as 27,000 looked down upon the field. So Harvard beat one of the mightiest of all the Army teams this afternoon with a fast, bewildering offensive onslaught devised by Eddie Casey and carried out ably by his men. In addition to this new attack, the great all-around work of Barry Wood and John Crickard carried the Crimson safely through In its first hard test of the year.

These two were the outstanding stars of a dizzy afternoon that had the crowd pop-eyed from start to finish. The Army had opened with a terrifio attack generated by Ray Steck-er, a great back, that was good for 13 points. Harvard's defense was torn wide open by the charging Army line and the hard-running Army backs with Stecker leading the wild double march across the Crimson goaL The Army stands were jubilant. The Crimson stands were in deep silence. And then as the Army removed its first string backfleld in the second quarter Wood and Crickard opened fire.

Crickard carried the ball and Wood threw it to keen receivers. These Crimson thrusts through the air and along the green turf swept the Army from Its collective feet. The Army fought back with all it had in a fine, game effort to take the lead again, but Harvard had now found its place and Hs pace. Wood gave one of the finest passing exhibitions in this second period ever' seen on any field at any time. And both Crickard and White were at the right spot to haul them down and drive along the way.

Crickard gave a magnificent exhibition of all-around He was a race horse and a truck horse combined. He handled punts perfectly in flawless style.

Barry Wood saved th3 day in the second half when the fleet Johnson (Continued on Page 4, Column 2) stopped on nearly every occasion, and here vaunted aerial attack failed to function until too late to late to be effective.
