  WASHINGTON AND L. OF O. (Continued from pags i.) (Continued from paEs ~ Four times the Washington backs smote the Oregon forwards. Four times they rammed and bucked and plunged with all the power that hu- man flesh and bone and sinew could give them to smash path through. Four times they tried, and four times the painting forwards threw them back. Once Washington penetrated to the one-yard line. Ziel did than on the third attempt. But fourth down, one yard and ouchdown to go, they might as well have wasted their strength on wall of concrete. This final smash was aimed at the Oregon left tackle, Cogs Campbell, with Han ley carrying the ball. Out of the ruck and tangle of scrimmage, Referee Var rell pred the ball The Washington back had actually been thrown back half yard--it was Oregons ball on downs on her y yard line. In four tries Washington had net ted a scant yard and a half. Thus did the men of Oregon respond in the moment of crisis in a magnificent fighting stand. Chapman’s punt out of danger went to Washington’s 3S-yard line. From there Washington again marched to the Oregon 1S-yard mark, but then came a break, and once more Oregon was saved. Ziel fumbled on smash off-tacklc An oregon man dived for the bal, but it eluded him and rolled slowly toward the sidelines. 1t just happened that the two lines We’re so interlocked and tangled up that nobody could pry himself out of ! the heap to get it. Finally from be- ! hind the Oregon line Campbell and ! Ward Johnson together threw them selves on it. 1t actually seemed to be all of five minutes as that slowly rolling ball remained there in open sight, though is was only a second. All this happened in the third quarter. In the fourth quarter Washing ton again threatened, this time on a break against Oregon. Chapman mis- Judged a bouncing punt by Albeit 1t bounced to the five-yard line, hesitated, seemed about to stay there, then as Chapman clutched at it, took mound that would have rolled it over the goal line for n touchback. But Chapman in his clutch at it Just touched ii and it bounded in a new direction, right at Westron of Washing ton, who fell on it. There you were, Washington’s ball on the Oregon eight yard line, and four tries for a touchdown. But I Daley of Washington pulled bit OF poor strategy by forward passing on he first down. The ball, out of reach Of the receiver, fell in the end zone for IN incomplete pass, and it was auto I Oregon’s bali on the 20 / ‘ard line. Once more the tired Ore { sonians had breathing spell ? All the time the score had remained { to in Oregon’s favor, following / chapman’s second and successful I ‘lace kick in the first Quarter. Washington kept threatening by 8 marching up to the goal line, but as c ret had been unable to accomplish $ coring results. And the fourth quar- er was well under way Z An exchange of punts followed and q on opened a ground gaining offensive q ‘alley started with a six-yard pass to q iaI.
