  CALIFORNIA GAME BUT OUTCLASSED Oregon Wins Game at Berkeley by Score of 80 to IA. Berkeley, Cal. Oct. 21.-California battled to the final whistle against the Oregon university on the grdiron here this afternoon but twilight found the Bears on the lead end of a 80 to IA reckoning. Eddie Mahans proteges made 1t exciting for the oregon veterans from the time Fullback Wells of California crashed over for a touchdown seven minutes after the kick off, to the moment Quarterback Sharp registered Berkeley’s second score so seconds before the end. Then Oregon found the tissue paper spots in California’s line and ripped them to shreds. Mitchell made a touchdown and Huntington goaled. Huntington himself bucked off tackle for another but failed at goal. Parsons circled Californias end for a damaging run at the beginning of the second installment and Spellman shouldered his way through for a third touchdown. Huntington kicked goal. In the next period the Huntington boys, Parsons and Beckett went through Californias defenses like water through a sieve, 10 yards being about the average gain. II. Hunting ton scored and S. Huntington goaled. Parsons piled on the agony a minute later by ducking the whole California team for n long run to a touchdown.
