The outlook was dark for the home team in the first half when Tracey succeeded in ringing up goal after goal, and also showed a deadly aim from the foul line. All told this voung athlete scored seven field goals and flve by the free shot route. For the locals Captain Hibbard, Bassett and Sechrest were the star performers. Kehoe who relieved Han- non kept Tracy from filling the bas- ket, and his playing was a feature. Robb on the defensive showed up strong. The recent changes in the team by Coach Avery, seem to have worked out well with the boys, there being a decided improvement in the playing over that of the opening game with Middletown a week ago.

PENN AND OREGON EVENLY MATCHED Players on Both Teams Stand Out As Stars The first day of the new vear will be featured in sport by an intersee- game to be played at Pasadena, Cal., in which the elevens of the University of Oregon and the University of Pennsylvania will be The contest will involve a traveling mileage of close to teg thousand miles and this will probab! establish a record for a single football game. Late in the season of 1915 Sy- racuse university team made a trip to the Pacific coast, winning from the. Oregon Aggies 28 to 0 and Ocelden- tal college 85 to 0. Last New Year's day (1916) Brown played Washington State at Pasadena and was defeated 14 to 0. : The game between Pennsylvania and Oregon is likely to be more even- ly contested as the eastern and far western university elevens appear to be equally matched so far as can be Jjudged from their respective records, weights and methods of offense and defense. Several of the players on each team stand out in their respec- tive sections as gridiron stars of high calibre. If the contest is fought out on a dry fleld it is likely that both Fullback Howard Berry, of Pennsyl- vania, and Shy Huntington, the Ore- gon quarterback, will shine in the open field running and field goal kicking. Both teams include other impres- sive players and their records are above the average. Oregon has not been defeated this year although held to a no-score tie by Washington. Pennsylvania, defeated by Swarth- more and Pittsburgh and tied by Dartmouth, came very strong at the close of the season and should be in excellent shape for the hard game that Oregon will uncover against the Quaker eleven.
