  OREGON WINS GAME FROM CALIFORNIA BY SHUTOUT SCORE Eugene, Ore, Nov. 1.-THE surprise Of the coast football season was sprung here this afternoon. Facing a team far more experienced and weighing 10 pounds more to the man, the University Of Oregon foot ball team defeated California Fl to 0. Oregon played through the game without running in a substitute. Andy Smith, California coach, made five changes in his team during the game in an effort to stop Oregon scoring. The victory is attributed largely to the work of Hugo Bezdek, Oregon coach, and Dot Dedley, Fred Haison and Bill Steers, Oregon players. California was unable to understand the team work of the Oregon team. Steers threw forward passes almost at will and 20 and 30-yard runs down the field before the heavy Californians were common. Oregon was unable to score in the first quarter. but early in the second Steers caught the ball and raced 60 yards the California team for a touchdown. Steers or Medley were responsible for all the Oregon touchdowns. The game completely upset all dope. Football students along the coast cheerfully predicted that the Bears would win. and the Californians came here certain of success.
