1931 I - Brachman Rea Thwaite P3c:hc s Line Drives Albany Back Linfield The Badgers won their first confer- ence game by defeating Linfield on McCready field. The Wildcats never seriously threatened our goal, and the score does not indicate the real margin of victory. Coach Jenne used his entire squad in the game. The final score was 12-0. Albany The Pacific University Badgers filled the air over McCready field with a galaxy of forward, lateral, behind-the- line and forward-lateral passes and pounded the sawdust under foot with reverses and line smashes to crush a fairly heavy and thoroughly game Al- bany team under a landslide of touch- downs 62-0. Oregon State Keeping in mind the Whitman game the following week. Coach Jenne took three teams to Corvallis and used them all. The first team held the Staters to a lone touchdown the first period. It was against the second and third strings that O.S.C. won its scores. The team came through this encounter in good shape for the all-important game the next week. Whitman In a see-saw contest that developed into one of the best games played on Multnomah field. Pacific and Whitman battled through sixty minutes to a score- less tie. The Badgers, playing an in- spired game, kept the ball in Whitman ' s territory most of the time. The total yardage gained was 243 for Pacific and 140 for Whitman. The Badgers three times in succession were in scoring ter- ritory, but each time the Whitman line withstood the attack. z Ninety-three

1931 An Oregon Play Is Driven Out of Bounds GAMES OF 1930 Football practice started September 8 with Captain Laurel Frost and the following lettermen on hand: Walter Ager, Bob Boyles, Art Brachman, Art Charlton, Eldon Cone, Oden Hawes, Frank Shriver, Gerald McGinn, and John Walker. Oregon After two weeks ' practice we played the University of Oregon, coached by Doc Spears, and held them to a 20 to score. Our boys played a fine game and the score at the end of the first half was 7 to ; during the third quarter they ran over two more and then were held scoreless the rest of the game. Monmouth Normal Larry Wolf brought his team down the following week-end and gave us a good game. Pacific scored in the first quarter, but failed to convert, and Mon- mouth went into the lead when they scored the extra point after a touch- down. In the final quarter Pacific ' s men began to function and won out 13-7. Considering yardage gained, the game was in our favor throughout. Columbia University After playing two hard games, we took a trip to Portland to meet Columbia University. Pacific scored in the early part of the first quarter, but after this attack our men could not gather power enough to move backward the fighting Irish. In the last half Columbia scored twice to win 13-6. ' 0- N inety-two I

i Willamette Pass Is KnocKed Down College of Puget Sound Pacific journeyed to Tacoma to win easily from the Loggers, 6-0. The ball was in C.P.S. territory most of the time, but the Badgers lacked the offensive punch when in the scoring zone except for a lone tally in the second quarter. The score could easily have been sev- eral more touchdowns, for Pacific had plenty of chances to score. Willamette I In the last game of the season, and with the championship at stake, we met Willamette on Multnomah field in Port- land. Winning the game would have given us a tie for the championship with Whitman — the defeat put us in third place in the conference. We were se- verely handicapped due to the fact that Acheson, our regular fullback, was in- jured in the C.P.S. game, and not able to play against Willamette. The Pacific line played a great game and stopped the opponent ' s running attack, but our backs could not stop the aerial attack, and therein lies the story of defeat. Six touchdowns were scored against us, all of them being made from passes or in- terceptions of our passes. Stevens, end, blocked a Willamette punt and scored a touchdown for us in the fourth quarter. Colosuanno Forest Lemcke I Ninety-four
