Page Six THE REGISTER-GUARD, EUGENE, OREGON Washington State Scores 7 fat Highclimber Victory Over Oregon state By DICK STRITE Burly Bowl-Bound Beavers Bo To Under-Rated Cougar Gridmen By JIM THOMAS PULLMAN, Oct. si furious power football the UD-and-down wu111its "I have never seen anything antiquidated in the United States until I saw this football match today," Lord North-cliffe told newspaper men after he had witnessed the Yale-Princeton game in the fall of 1908. The Englishman said the game was masterfully played by the Americans but that the game was out-of-date and lacked the color of the English football team kicked the Rose Bowl hopes the Oregon State Beavers today by finishing on the ibm1 Score.

14. Then in an 86-yard drive, without a single ii game. And that was two years after the forward pass was introduced, the same year the playing time was reduced from 70 to 60 minutes, and the yardage required on a series of downs increased from five to 10. In those days a touchdown brought 5 points, field goals 4, and point after touchdown 1. We happened to run on to this historic statement while checking up on the University of Oregon team of that season.

In a "Believe it or Not" Ripley told of Oregon's 27-21 victory over Idaho ot that season a game in which the Webfoots failed to register a single yard gained from rushing or passes while the Vandals were collecting 347 yards in gains. and that was the ball game. son btate (o, Pluck the Duck? Cage the Cougar! Last October 26th in Pullman, Washington State college students flaunted their Dad's Day slogan "Pluck the Ducks" in the faces of the Invading University of Oregon football team. And Babe Hollingbery's Cougars did a Jim-dandy job of it until the closing minutes of play when Tommy Roblin broke away on a 22-yard touchdown run that gave the Oregon a 6-6 deadlock. It was a bitter pill for the Staters who had suffered an embarrassing 38-0 defeat at the Hands of the Webfoots here in Eugene the previous year.

As a matter of fact, WSC has never been able to beat Oregon Since Tex Oliver's regime. He inaugurated his Pacific coast conference coaching by defeating the 10-2 in Pullman in 1938. Washington State comes here next Saturday afternoon and two of the most important jobs will be in the hands of the two Webfoots pictured here Bill Regner (above), Tony Crish (below), both are starting ends Not as potent as Buchwach's "Blitz the Beavers," but how about this slogan "Cage the oeweu provided ft. for the long drivig tearing off runs of jj and finally going from the fOur-yVSSi Tackle Joe Beclm- kicked I the extra In the second andthlnif neither team could iSj? scoring punch and time- the rivals wm Zsi turf.

Later we took part in a "Bull session" with Colonel Bill Hay-ward, trainer at that time, and Jack Luckey, who was a freshman at the university that year They told us that Ripley gave only half the story that not only did the Webfoots fail to make a single first down, but that Fred C. Moullen, one of the greatest place-kickers of all time, booted four field goals through the uprights, one from 54 yards, and that Oregon played the final 20 minutes (they played 30 minute halves) with only 10 men.

The two seven yards out, and Halfback Dean Hayes being "pushed over from the three-yard line." Clarke kicked a field goal from the five-yard line and collected an extra point. IDAHO "Time after time Clarke kicked for SO and 60 yards," the story said. Idaho scored a touchdown and an extra point while Moullen was booting one of his field goals to lead 6-4 at halftime. Early in the second half Thornton scored on a 25-yard run with a fumble for Idaho and the Vandals converted.

Bill Kilta, "one of Oregon's new ends," then picked up a fumble and scored on a 30-yard run. Two minutes later Clarke snagged a Vandal pass and ran 40 yards for a touchdown and then made the placement to give Oregon a 15-12 lead. Idaho surged ahead, and with 20 minutes of play remaining held a 21-15 advantage. It was then that Tackle Bill Main was ousted for roughing the kicker and Oregon was forced to play with 10 men because none of the six substitutes were allowed to return. And during that period Moullen kicked three more field goals to give Oregon a 27-21 victory.

WHITWORTH A fellow by the name of Colbert gave the Spokane team its victory with touchdown runs of 50 and 60 yards. Oregon's scoring resulted from a blocked punt which End Graham "Brick" Mitchell recovered over the goal line, Moullen's extra point, and his field goal from the nine-yard line.
