at Tackle.
With a badly crippled team in the
field, Oregon showed signs of “come
back’’ qualities yesterday afternoon,
when they handed Dud Clarke’s sol
diers from Fort Vancouver, a trim
ming-, to the tune of 36 to 0. While
the game was devoid of any sensa
tions, it showed that Oregon still has
a chance at the conference champion
ship. The forward pass was used to
better advantage than against the i
Eugene High School last Tuesday and j
two of Oregon’s touchdowns came as i
a result of passes to Fenton and Brad-!
shaw.
.The first quarter was a see-saw
contest in midfield, ending with the
Varsity on the Soldier’s 30 yard line.
At the beginning of the second quar
ter Oregon got her scoring machine
unlimbered and pushed Heusner over
the line. Cobb kicked the goal. On
the kickoff following, Kellogg booted
the pigskin over the line, and while
the soldiers were thinking it over,
Jones recovered the ball, annexing
five more points. Cobb kicked the
goal.
Near the close of the half, Heusner
made his second touchdown. Walker
kicked out to Cobb, who again made
the extra point. The soldiers lost their
only chance to score this quarter
when Jackson attempted a place kick ]
from the thirty yard line. Oregon
punted out of danger from the twen-1
ty-five line. In the third quarter Bean i
and Fenton each secured a touchdown.!
Walker kicked both goals, bringing I
the score up to 30 to 0. In the fourth |
quarter Bradshaw got away with a !
forward pass and scored. Cobb kicked
the goal. In the Oregon line Hall
played a smashing game, repeatedly
tearing up the soldier’s “phalanx”
and nailing the man with the ball.
Fenton, the big Oregon end, handled
the forward pass in sensational style.

GLOB DIRECTOR PLEASED
Ogden Announces Best Assortment of
Material Recorded During Past
Five Years.
“The Glee Club has a larger reper
toire than any club has had for five or
six years,” was the manner in which
Director Ogden summed up the situa
tion yesterday afternoon and announc
ed definitely the stunts and features
that will be used this year.
Besides the Robinson-Collins take
off on Mr. Crane, the anti-higher edu
cation-man, Harry Ding, will feature
a Chinese song ana costume stunt.
Kenneth Frazier will appear as a so
loist, while Powell, Vawter and Ogden
are working up a trio. These, with
the probable addition of one or two J
other stunts, together with the en- |
semble songs, will comprise the club’s
program for the coming season.
In addition to the cities already i
booked tor the southern trip, which
will be soon after the Thanksgiving ■
holidays, Klamath Falls will be in
cluded on the itinerary, the club hav-!
ing received a good offer from that
town.
Although the club will probably
make the Eastern Oregon trip for the
advertising value alone, the towns in
that section of the state seem to ex
hibit distinct anti-University senti
ment in their demands for an exhor
bitant percentage rate.
SOPH “SCARE HEAD” POSTER
ATTRACTS FAVORABLE NOTE
With pad and pencil in hand, a ra
ther severe looking lady stood in front
of the telephone pole at the corner of
13th street and University Ave., in
dustriously copying the “Frosh Be
ware” notice pasted there. A rumor
floated over the campus that “Gun
hilda Skin Bones,” she of the caustic
tongue and cheap wit, was gathering
data for a lecture before the Society
for the “Prevention of Cruelty to
Freshmen.” Timid sophs trembled
and began to quail before the antici
pated journalistic hurricane. By this
time the poster was copied verbatim
and the copyist with prim and busi
nesslike steps betook herself down the
street toward the police station. Not
a sophomore was to be seen, all were
huddled up under the grandstand be
hind the friendly protection of the
1915 yet labled ‘Fresh Paint/ .Then
someone came out with the announce
ment that it was only one of our fel
low townsmen who was struck by the
clever combination of phraseology.

v> ashinoton state victory
MAY PROVE DEARLY ROIKJHT
Playing with a fierceness seldom j
displayed in football, Washington
State College won yesterday’s game i
from the University of Idaho by the
score of 17 to 0, on the Idaho field,
thus avenging herself for the defeat
suffered last year at the hands of the
latter institution.
As a result of the victory, more
than half the men of the Washington
State College team are badly crip
pled. and will probably be out of the
game for some time. The Idaho team,
on the other hand, went through the
game without injury.
Both teams played straight football
most of the time, although several un
successful attempts were made to exe
cute the forward pass. The Washing
ton State eleven will line up against
the Oregon team next Saturday at
Pullman, and with a crippled team the
northerners may be somewhat handi
capped.

a competitive examination for two
appointments to the Naval Academy
at Annapolis Thursday, Friday, and
Saturday, January 25, 2G and 27,

SOPHOMORES WIN
CELEBRATION BY
A LARGE SCORE
PUSHBALL CONTEST PROVES
THE MOST INTERESTING
FEATi RE OF THE DAY
FRESHMEN DRAGGED THROUGH POND
Larne Crowd Assembled, Which En
joyed Every Moment of the
Exercises.
(By Fen Waite.)
Inaugurating- the greatest custom
ever installed at the University of
Oiogon, the Sophomores defeated the
!':<vhinen in the Underclass Contest
this afternoon by the overwhelming
score of ltd to IS.
A big- crowd of the members and
supporters of the underclasses turned
out to see the seven interesting and
hard fought events. An efficient
corps of “cops” from the senior
class, headed by Chief Jamison, pre
served perfect order on the field, and
the spirit and sportmanship shown
by all corcerned was beyond (law or
criticism. 1 he sophomores and
Freshmen especially deserve the
highest commendation for the man
ner in which they conducted them
selves, thereby insuring the adoption
of the underclass “mix” as a perma
nent tradition at Oregon.
All spectators at the events were
unanimous in their decision that the
contest as pulled off today, far sur
passes any hazing as a means of
working off the rivalry between the
first and second year men. The push
ball contest, in which thirty-five men
on each side took part, was the
feature of the contests. The im
mense sphere was placed in the cen
ter of the field and at a given signal
the participants leaped to the fray
with do or die intent. For true
strenuosity the resulting “mix”
would put to shame the football
games in the palmiest days of Ore
gon 0. A. 0. rivalry. The game was
played in two halves of fifteen and
ten minutes duration each.
The event of next greatest interest
was the tug o’ war contest, in
which the Sophs dragged the luckless
Freshies through the “landscape
lake on the campus.
The events in their order and the
winners were: y’he grand parade and
yell contest, with sixty sophomores
stripped for action and eighty fresh
men with red and white megaphones
resulted; for best yells and most
original stunts the sophs took twen
ty points and for best decorating
and display the freshmen annexed
ten.
The second event, the hundred
yard dash, was won by Boylen, ’16,
Kimball, ’14, and Rader, T5, first, sec
ond and third, with 15, 10, and 5
points respectively.
The third event, the sack race, was
won by Dickson, ’15, first, and Ski,
’14, second, with five points for first
and three for second.
The fourth event, the relay race,
was won by the freshmen team of
eight men—Boylen, Hawley, Dudley,
Pack, Hill, Rader, Morton, and
Finch, with a count of ten points for
first. The three-legged race, the
fifth event, was won by Rice and
fourth event, was won by Rice and
Brooks. ’14, first, and Anderson and
