Juniors and Seniors Will Clash Saturday to Settle Inter class Championship. Taps wan sounded on the 1915 soccer season with the 1-0 defeat by Multnomah in Portland December 2.‘5. Besides mark ing the end of the game for the year, it closed Coach Colin V. Dyment’s con nection with soccer at the University. Incidentally, it was the first time the coach e> <u saw his team come off the field with the small end of the score. This season was undoubtedly the most successful the English game has ever had. Some thirty-five men turned out at the beginning of the year and most of them stayed until the finish. The schedule of four games—two with O. A. C. and two with Multnomah—provided an in centive to keep up a lively interest. Coach Dyment and Captain Campbell worked hard with the squad to build up a winning combination. The Aggies were met and whitewashed both here and in their own lm.lliwiek. O. A. C. put out a team for the first time but made a credit able showing. With the experience they gained this year, they ought to furnish strong opposition in the future. After tieing the Multnomah clubmen on Thanksgiving day the varsity finally broke into the lost column on the Port land field. Handicapped by having a couple of men out of the game, the lemon-yellow staved off a score until late in the second half. The two big Multno mah backs kept the ball continually in Oregon territory but the defense manag ed to keep the goal clear. With only six minutes to play. Referee Billington call ed a foul on one of the Oregon halves and gave the clubmen a free kick. The locals thought it was a penalty and failed to block the kick. Sammons made a terrific boot and the wet, ball slipped past Kennon fo- the single tally of the game. Multnomah deserved to win, however, as her team clearly out played Oregon. Vet Coach Dyment was very much pleased with the work of the players. "The season was very satisfactory,” he said, ‘‘the boys played very nicely and the one game we lost we had no right winning. We did well to hold the score as low as it was. Soccer is firmly es Who Issues the Publi cation of Your Paper? The Business Men of Eugene Help Them Pay Their Advertising Bills. They Deserve Your Support tablished now and I want to see a still better record next year.” The seniors have accepted the chal lenge issued by the juniors before vaca tion to settle the inter-class champion ship and a game is set for Saturday at 1:30 on Kincaid field. The fourth-year men are depending on Tuerck, Campbell, Huston, Scaiefe, Rathbun and some other “old hands” to bring home the victory while the jun iors are pinning their faith on Kennon, Sheehy, Hartley, Hinson and Hedges to uphold the honor of the class.

Correspondence Study Classes Almost Doubled Since 1913. 72 High Schools in Debating League Include Practically Every School in State. j The rapid growth of the extension de partment of the University since its or ganization in 10OS is shown in a report recently compiled by that department. The earliest form in which the work of carrying the-University’s work over the state was by means of correspondence study. In the fall of 1013 the extension classes were authorized and their growth since that time has been dependent only upon the finances at the disposal of the department. The largest number of classes are held in Portland, but some are meeting in Baker, Salem, Eugene and the Coos Bay district Among the most striking features of the report are the following stitistics showing the strides taken by the depart ment. The enrollment in the correspond ence study work has grown from 3(11 students in 1913, including at that time those in extension classes to 975 on Oct ober 1, of this year. The extension classes which were first organized in 1913, and had 500 members in 1914. now reach 1094 persons in the state, while the lectures of the extension classes are , now attended by 74,000 (estimated) as against an attendance of 03,300 in 1914. Pictorial instruction by means of edu cational moving pictures and slides has been carried on in a limited form. Mo tion pictures were used this year for the first time and 24 exhibitions were at tended by 5,500 persons. The lantern slide method was used last year in three exhibitions before 575 persons, while this year 73 exhibitions were held before 9125 persons. The work of the Oregon high school debate league which was organized in p.H>7 also conies under the jurisdiction of the extension department. When or ganized by Prof, l'e Coil in that year, the league had a membership of 2S. This year practically every high school of im portance in the state outside of Port land is included in the 72 schools hold ing membership. Reading certificates are granted by the department to the teachers of the state who do professional reading and re search work under the supervision of the extension authorities. This work was be gun in 1914 and during 1914-15. 3400 certificates were granted. East year 47s3 certificates were issued. An election to determine the most pop ular "nut” on the campus was recently held at Ohio State Vniversity. AU nom inations were required to have at least ten signers. The whole campus voted [ on the eccentrics. D. P. Thompson Estate Gives Largest Single Sum Contributed. Most Recent Gift Brings Total to Nearly $13,000; Project ed Cost Is $100,000.

Bid MIKES HIT Outside Towns and Cities Ap preciate Music of Organization Mr. Perfect Says Heavier Music Will Be Taken Up After Vacation. The University band went to UresweLl December 13 and made a very credit able showing according to a clipping from the Creswell Chronicle which says: “With one of the best selected programs of band music and with one of the best organizations of its kind ever appearing in Creswell, the University of Oregon band greeted a fair-sized audience ui the Etna opera house last night.” This and other clippings from papers in cities and towns throughout the state show how the band is appreciated where ever it has appeared, says Mr. Perfect, director of the band. After examinations the band will have more time to devote to heavier music. Mr. Perfect has no trips in view at pres ent but a concert is planned to be given in Villard after examinations. Fee’s Absence Wiil Be Felt; New Men Must Be Developed. Chance Muirhead and Payne May Return Brightens Champ Prospects. William Haseltine. While it is still some three months before track season opens, most of the old men are keeping in condition by working out over the cross country course. Although there is no telling what may happen from now until spring, present indications are that Oregon will have a team fully up to the standard of last year's championship aggregation. Hill Hayward’s big problem will he to develop men to take care of the events Chet Fee used to handle. Chet was a sure winner in the javelin and pole vault and was good for points in practically all the rest of the field events and the hurdles. "Moose” Muirhead, if he comes !>ack. will bear the brunt of the work. He and Chet made almost enough points between them last season to win one of the meets. Besides Fee, Bostw'ek and I’eacock are the only two letter men of last year not in college. Mose Payne, the diminutive two-miler who broke the Northwest record in the conference meet at Corvallis in 3915, is expected by his fraternity brothers to be back the second semester. If "Jackrabbit” returns, Bost wick’s loss will not be felt. tloreciky, WesterfMd and Brock are the sprinters of last year's squad on deck. Wilson in the 440 and Captain Nelson in the half-mile are certainties. Bidding ought to give a good account of himself in the mile. In the cross country run with O. A. C . he showed an improve ment over his previous work. Case. Han sen. and Atkinson are other strong con tenders for the long run. With the exception of Bartlett, weight men are lacking. He can compete with any of them in the d:seus. giving Cole a cl< ae* n irs t; Seattle. In the pole vault and jumps Jensen. Bhn kaby, and Oates look to be the best of the candidates.
