THE ttWE- OMAHA. FRIDAY, JANUARY 2. 1920. CnUT IlLKL R TP Liioi ucr lh i o WEST IN HARDLY CONTESTED GAME Harvard Vanquishes Univer sity of Oregon, 7 to 6, in Intersectiona! Contest At Pasadena. ' ,- Pasadena, Cal;, Jan. 1. The east vanquished the west here Thursday when Harvard defeated the Univer sity of Oregon, 7 to 6, in the annual intersections! foot ball game. The versatile attack of the eastern ers, based on smashing straight foot Van tactics, but featured with tor ward passes, tricks and punts, was met bv stalwart defense from Ore go. The fighting; qualities of the western defenders were exemplified to the, last minute of play when Har vard, 'separated by inches from a second touchdown, was held for downs. . Harvard's points were scored on a ijcmchdown by Church and a goal kicked by A. Horween. Steers, the bright star of the Oregon team, l icked one goal from field and Mane rud, who replaced him later, in the same, again sent the ball hurtlinsr hetween the goal posts for a field poat. Rival Steers as Stars. Jacobberger punting and Manerud rivaled Steers as stars of the OVrgon aggregation. The ftipport rrndereJ bv their teammates was of the best. Steers punted and bticted the line in i manner that mad: brVn the favorite of . the Oregon supporters and when be was forced out by an injury and Manerud went in, the latter ran like a demon, punted in remarkable fash ion, considering his small sire and weight and bucked the line so strongly that he-' hurled through time after time. - For Harvard the Horwjtens were the bright particular stari, while Eddie Casey, their teammate back of the line worked hard and suc cessfully. There was no develop ment of any particular style of play, ' both teams using; the forward pass, nitfifino' tin' fornutidns. a few trick i- : .. . . . f plays nd all other usual tactics. I, '- . Superior Team Work, Harvard's victory was probably due as much to superior team wori:, based on exoerisncc gained on east- i m filds. as to . any single fac tor. Their superior weight seemed to have little to do with it, judging from the way their opponents held -I? their line smashes. Speed was , ..,n.. a:;A..A th KmiUk nf the on- posing teams seeming to get over the ground with equal facility. In' inter ference and blocking the easterners bad a shade the better of it, accord ing to press experts, but the teams vere so evenly matcnea inai me -a litiV rlioire in anv particular.

With "many 'of the "Stove leaguers" still talking over the events of the past and the season sfill several months Hence, a num; ber of the amateur base ball players and managers are already discussing plans for the l20 amateur base ball season.

According to an announcement Dy Moore, manv ot the players ot tne Union Outfitting company team, last season's city class B champions, have attached their signatures to ronlracts with the Power company. Moore will be business manager of the team. Mat Pascal, who managed - the Union Outfitting team and played short, has signed a contract with the Powers, and probably will be manager, while Elmer Nuf.er, star hurler. Walter Nufer, second sack- er, and Ernie Koehler, are among the others who have already signed Need New Team. If the Union Outfitting Co. is rep resented this season it will be forced to sign up an entirely new team Last season the Powers had a good Class A team, but could not make the grade in comparison with the Murphv-Did-Its, so it was decided bv the firm to Dtit a Class B team in the field the coming vear. The Omaha Printing Co. finished in last nlacc m th t v league. How ever the printing company will be represented by a Class C team again next vear. This season the Class C bovs were known as the Omaha Print Juniors, the word junior wi he ilfnnoed next season. . Since the Power Co. has decided Moore, who managed the Ne braska Storage Battery team last season, taking charge near the close of the season, now believes in the old siying. "The early-bird catches the worm, and has already signed a to play Class B ball, many of last season's players , will sign up with other Class A teams. Practically all of the other teams in the.
