Both contests were fights from start to finish. The seniors were leading four to two when the first half ended. In the final period the second year men speeded up their play and literally buried the seniors under an avalanche of baskets. Mc Cready and Fox led the scoring with two ringers each. The sophomores showed superior teamwork and clearly outplayed their opponents. Tk-i lineups follow: Sophomores: Farley, center; Mc Cready and Cate, forwards; Fox and Alexander, guards. Baskets: Cate 1, McOready 2, Alexander 1, Fox 2. Seniors: Roberts, center; Scaiefe and Elliot, forwards; Rathbun and Sims, guards. Baskets: Roberts 1, Scaiefe 1, Elliott 1. In the junior-frosli battle the playing was more even. All of the frosh scores were made in the first half, the tally at the- intermission being 9-4. The fresh men were weak in finding the hoop. Time and again the forwards would work the ball down the floor only to lose it through some wild heave. The lineups follow: Juniors: Denn, center; Grebe and Gar retson, forwards; Nail and Hausler, guards. Baskets: Garrejson 1, Hausler 1. Freshmen: Leslie, center; Waldron and Fowler, forwards; Boylen and Rein hart, guards. Baskets: Fowler 2, Leslie 1. Waldron 1.

Multnomah really had the edge in the Thanksgiving day mud battle and with three weeks time to get into condition thi' scarlet and white are going to be hard to beat. Captain Morris has had his squad out daily the past week in an effort to perfect their team-play. Since Coach Dynient’s return from Seattle, the locals have been practicing with added vigor. The wet weather has been a severe handicap but every night the mud affords a footing the boys are out. Multnomah field is well-drained and can stand a heavy downpour without harm. All the varsity's games this year 1 have taken place on a slimy field which has prevented the team from showing its real speed. On the Portland grounds a fast game is assured. The regular eleven including Kennon, Campbell, McDonald, Hedges, Hinson, W. Sheehy, Hartley, Nelson, Tuerck, .T. Sheehy and Fox besides two substitutes, Bain and Houston are to make the trip. This game officially concludes the soc cer season for 1910. Washington high School in Portland wrote for a game but as they would not be ready to play until some time in January it could not be scheduled. Besides concluding the soccer schedule, Saturday’s game marks the last one played under Coach Colin V. Dyment. ot even if he does go cO Washington the coach remains loyal to Oregon. “The Oregon soccer team is the only one I will ever coach,” he declared. Coach Dyment is largely responsible for the growth of soccer at Oregon. For the past four years he has built up squads that have met successfully the strongest teams in the state. He has yet to see his team leave the field de feated. The seniors, led by Frank Campbell and Frank Seaiefe, have taken up the gauntlet thrown down by the juniors for an inter-class game after the holidays.

Oral Quiz Must Continue Two and Written Exam Four Hours. A number of changes have just been made by the faculty committee on the administration of honors in the legis lation governing honor students and the granting of honors by the University of Oregon. The old honors of summa cum laude and magna cum Inode have been abolished, and Honors in General Scholarship, requiring not more than three credits below S, none below >1, have been substituted. The legislation governing the granting of Highest Honors in a Given Subject lias been standardized. It was passed at four different times, according to l'rof. II. C. Howe, chairman of tile com mittee, and was on three different bases, those of the writing of a thesis, the performance of extra work, and a de sire on the part of , the student for free intellectual activity. The rulings have now been unified. The new rulings make it impossible for the instructors in the honor courses .taken by any stqdent to constitute a majority of his examining committee, since at least an equal number of in structors from other departments or from other colleges must be appointed. This prevents the honor department from dictating the granting of honors. When a thesis is to he presented for the honor examination, it must be filed with the registrar at least ten days be fore the examination. lie must give notice immediately to all members of the examining committee, who shall pass upon the thesis before the oral examina tion takes place. The oral examination now must con tinue for at least two hours, instead of one hour as heretofore, and the written examination shall occupy a total of at least four hours, unless a thesis has been presented. 'The written part, also, must take place at least a week before the oral part, and must lie submitted to all members of the committee before the oral parts is given. Questions for the written examination are to be prepared by the members of the honor department, but the other members of the committee may add any further questions they desire. These questions shall be filed with the perman ent records of the I’niversity. The names of the candidates for hon ors in any given year are to he printed in a separate list in the catalogue at the head of the register of students, under the heading '•Candidates for Honors.” The names of all juniors and seniors who are eligible for honors in general scholarship are to be included in this list. There are 1-1 honor students at present in the I'niversitv. They are: Nellie Cox and K.vla Walker, English Literature, and llosalind Hates, rhetoric, who will take their examinations at the end of the first semester; Martha fleer and Frances Shoemaker, English Literature; Bernard S. Breeding, John .1. Elliott, and Ernest Watkins, commerce, who will be examin ed in June; Martin Nelson and Frank Beach, who will try for honors in their commerce theses; John DeWitt (filbert, journalism; and tnree juniors in English literature, Margaret Crosby, Beatrice (faylord, and Doris llubbell. In special cases students may be regis tered for honors h.v securing permission from the administration of honors com mittee, on petition from the instructor. This committee is at present composed of I’rof. If. C. Howe, Colin V. Dyment, and Dr. J. D. Barnett. NEW COURSES OFFERED Correspondence Department Has Two More Subjects in Salesmanship. The correspondence department is of fering two new courses next semester. These are courses in salesmanship and commercial English. The salesmanship course was prepared by D. \V. Morton, dean of the school of commerce. For this course two hours credit is given and there are It) lessons. JOE BELL DID COME BACK # # *• « HIS TRUNK ALSO RETURNED # * * # BUT HIS CLOTHES-? It was Sunday. Joe Bell was visiting the Kappa house. He had been there so long his Delta Tan brothers began to grow uneasy. Then the Delta Tail phone rang. The ; freshman who answered it bounded out of the telephone booth with a wild cry, "Say. guys, the Kappa bunch have just pledged Joe.” Consternation reigned. Then some bril liant mind suggested "Well, I guess we ought to send him his trunk.” No sooner said than done. But the Kappas were too sure of their new pledge. As a preliminary initiation they endeavored to make him wash the supper dishes. He got “mad” and went home. As he was trying to sipiare him- ! self with his former brothers the trunk j arrived at the front of the house. One of the boys with an inquisitive nature opened it. Ho, a maiden arose from its depths. The clothes in the trunk had been trans formed by some Kappa magic into a creature real and fair, known to her sis ters as Celeste Foulkes. The trunk was back, but the clothes were not. It is rumored they will be auctioned off by the sisters to pay Joe's board bill. PROFESSORS FILL PULPITS Address Congregations in Churches in Neighboring Towns. Several members of the faculty are filling speaking engagements at churches in the Willamette valley on Sunday mornings, according to Ken II. Williams, director of exhibits of the extension division, who lias charge of these engage ments. Professor C. II. Edmondson, of the zoology department, spoke in the First Presbyterian church at Albany, Novem her 1!>. Ilis subject was "Insects and Diseases,” an appropriate topic, for Al bany has been suffering from an epidemic of scarlet fever. Dr. Joseph Schafer, dean of the extension division and pro fessor of history, spoke at Iiaras on November Ft, and 1 >. W. Morton, dean of the school of commerce, lias spoken at several churches in and around Eugene. E. S. Dunn, professor of Latin, de livered an address in the community church at Macleny, in Marion county, .November lit. This church is owned by ('ongregatioiiulists, but is used by all de nominations. Addresses scheduled for the future are: Professor Sweetscr at the First Pres byterian church of Albany on Sunday, December J. II. Filbert, professor of economics and social science, speaks at Macleny on December Mr. Morton will speak at the Salem Congregational church the first Sunday in January. Two reels of moving picture film have been sent to this church: “Home Making in Western Canada,” and t‘(llacicr National Park.” These pictures followed lec tures on those topics. Mr. Williams says that it is the policy of the extension division to furnish speakers from the faculty when possible if the churches desire them. 11<> con siders these- engagements a great, oppor tunity and thinks more churches should take advantage of them. SLIDES WILL BE SHOWN Legislature Will Be Shown Motion Pic tures Explaining Relief for Children. Slides, showing relief for lame children in I/nne county, will he brought be fore the state legislature this winter, to give an idea of the practibility of sueh work throughout the state with the aid of an appropriation. The child welfare commission, which, with the aid of the extension department of the University made these slides, asked for funds to make this work state wide, but were told to use Lane county as an experiment and show what could be done to aid the cripple children of the state. Several of the slides were of the little girl who received treatment under the instructors of the p bye steal education department, after her operation in the early spring. When school closed last June she was greatly improved and strengthened as a result of these treat ments. Bezdek to Take 23 Players; Boys Can Spend Christ mas at Home.
