The breather prevents (over) pressurization of the crankcase, as well as venting combustion byproducts that are harmful to the oil, the hose takes them to the airbox to be burned in the combustion process every downstroke of the engine pressurizes the crankcase, just as the up stroke pressurizes (compresses) the combustion chamber you might get away without a breather on a multi with a 180 degree crank (one piston goes up while the other comes down) but in a single, or a multi with a 360 degree crank, lack of a breather would blow whichever seal blows the easiest Versy has proven the Savage motor will not puke it's seals at 10 psi, above that, who knosw?
