DIFFICULT JOB. By JOSEPH GORDON, SO Carrusoiiimt Uaivwtal SOLDIER S' FIELD, CAMBRIDGE Oct. 24. A sturdy, green-clad horde swept down from the hills of New Hampshire here today and -what was slightly crimson, this morning Is one solid green this afternoon.

The unbeaten Dartmouth team Invaded the dignified precincts of Cambridge today and for the third time in three years. Harvard flouldn't figure out Just what to make of It. Score: Dartmouth 32; Harvard 9. In many respects it was an uneven match. Harvard had a couple of snurts during the course of the knA Kafnro Stanford cantain's By A.

T. BAUM. PORTLAND, Oct 24tr-In a loosely played game, full of bright and dull spots, the Golden Bear walked over the hard fighting football squad of the University of Oregon this afternoon to the tune 28 to' 0 on the sawdust-covered field of the Multnomah Club. The largest crowd that ever turned out for a grid game In Portland estimated at on every occasion, but didn't get much chance to root hard for the home boys except In the fourth quarter, when the Webfooters really threatened the California goal, only to lose the ball on a fumble nine yards from the. coveted goal Of the many fumbles In the game, California recovered four of Oregon's and the home team pounced on three of the Bear errors.

IN GOOD SHAPE. The good news from a California standpoint is that although practically the entire1 squad got a chance In the game, everybody eame out of the tussle in great shape. Andy Smith used nothing new, of course, but the line func-tioned well, better in fact than In either the Olympic or St. Mary's battles. The opposition may have had something to do with that, but nevertheless the plays were snappy and well executed.

The fake reverse for a plunge off tackle or through center was used a great deal ana was responsible for "much gained yardage. Smith sent in Blewett early in the game and used Dick for punting instead of Jimmy Dixon. Dick did his work well, getting off some fine punts, both for-height and distance. His drop-kicking for the extra points after touchdowns was, splendid. He succeeded in all three of his attempts, Carlson kicking the ether.

"TUT" 8TAYS IN. Captain "Tut" Imlay stayed in the fracas long enough to get a good workout and then retired In favor of Young Willi. Imlay was in the game for two quarters and was himself In every respect. He led the team in ground gained with total of 86 yards. Perrin, who took Jimmie Dixon's place lnHhe- second half, gained 67 yards, while Al Young and Earl Jabs, who did most of the line plunging, scored 49 and 46 respectively.

The disappointing feature to the Oregon enthusiasts was the failure of Wetsel to outklck the California hooters. The Bears hurried him a bit, to be true, but with few exceptions Dixon and Blewett gained in exchanges with the webfoot star. Blewett's best boot went for 61 yards and it's a cinch he will get plenty of chance at that angle the game after today's showing. Coach Andy Smith gave most of the boys a chance in the second half. Blewitt, Perrin, Willi and Young started in the backfield, and both Perrin and Willi made a great showing against their game but outclassed opponents.

The "Ace" boys who Inveigled some of the Bear admirers into betting en 14, 21 and even 28 poinbt were all smeared. Quite a' bunch' of real coin is reported to have changed hands on the 21 proposition, although many shied at that figure and insisted that it be three touchdowns, not wishing to gamble en tbe tries for the extra point. DEATH MARS GAME. The Joyfulness of the occasion the preliminary festivities was marred for the small part the crowd that realized that a. fatal accident had happened to 1 one of the Oregon students a few minutes before the game.

Al Ooss, a '20-year-old junior student at Oregon, fell off the top of the high grandstand, close to 100 feet. He was taken off the field and to the hos-' pltal. where he died later In the afternoon. The boy was one of a group of youngsters sent to pop off confetti and participate in other stunts from the top of the stand. Immediately following the accident all further stunts were canceled.

Column There was a brief apace of time yesterday In which the gridiron contest between St. Mary's and Nevada looked like a rather even break. T.hat was the fifteen minutes which constituted' the first quarter. Then the fireworks started. The speedy proteges of "Slip" Madigan shoved over three touchdowns In the second quarter, one In the third and another in the final Conversions of all five made the final score 85 to 0.

Incidentally, one large and correspondingly powerful lad from the east bay institution of learning by name O'Rourke emblazoned his patronym in large letters across the St. Mary's escutcheon. He accomplished this feat by picking up a fumbled kickoff on his own twenty-yard line and dodgng through the assembled visitors from Nevada for a touchdown. 80-YARD RUN.

Touchdown No. 3 was 'accomplished when Rooney caught Con-Isn's forward pass across the goal line. This, also, was a last resort plsy after the Wolves had withstood three line plunges within their ten-yard line.

O'ROURKE AGAIN. The name of O'Rourke again came to the fore In the third quarter when the St. Mary's end "broke through the Nevada line and blocked Balaam's- punt. Back the ball rolled toward the goal line with the majority of two teams after it. When melee was dls-entanged, Tobin' of St.

He (Continued on Page Column accounted for many of the touchdowns. It was Oberlander's punting that sent the Crimson back from Dartmouth's goals. The green began their scoring In the second quarter and gained speed as they went along. After their first touchdown they seemed to have the exact range, while Harvard didn't have the heart to come back.

The day was perfect for football, the weather Ideal. When the game started the sun went down. By the end of the first period it was quite cold. But the 60.000 spectators were comfortable, happy and loud. Yale Smothers Brown in First Game on Field Valtejo Defeats Santa Rosa High VALLEJO.
