Steers Gets Four Hits in Four Times up; Next Game Thursday. Oregon stepped on the O. A. O. bnse l>nll nine again Saturday and took the sixth game of the series by the seore i of 12 to 10 thus winning the series, ns this was the fifth victory for the ''Varsity, out of six games played. The game was played whenever old .Tup , l'luvius would give up the field for a few minutes and as a result the con test. dragged from 10:20 in the morn ing until nearly 2 in the afternoon, with an actual playing time of three hours. The Oregon team started off in fine shape and would have made short work of the contest if the seventh inning bad ibeen passed over. In the seventh in ning the Aggies scored seven runs on six bits, an error and a bit batter, up to this point Ilerg had only allowed two hits and while the Aggies had gathered two runs they did not seem to be in any way dangerous. Dry Ball Supply Runs Out. The pitchers were allowed the privi lege of calling for a dry bull at any time, but by the time the seventh frame' had i rolled around the old pellet was soaked clear through nml it did little good to try to dry it off. It rained through out this critical period and Berg was unable to put any hop on his delivery. The bearers of the orange and black started another festivity in the ninth filling the bases with two down when Berg fanned (iurkey retiring the side. The Oregon team seemed to be con tented to get a few runs each inning and to increase the batting averages at the expense of Kruger. Bill Steers led the lemon-yellow willow wielders getting four safe cracks out of ns many trips to the plate. The Y’arsity took to Kruger’s slants like a duck takes to water getting lit safe bingles. There was not much of a crowd out to watch the celebration as the rain kept the fans seeking shelter nbout every other inning. During the fourth (Continred on page two) CANOE!

The time for the canoe Fete Thurs day night has hen changed to 0 o’clock in order to secure a more effective background.

With the day of judgment a few hours away, hopeful candidates, both professional and otherwise, are shining their shoes and pressing their finery in preparation for the final conquest; their faces crack with smiling, but its “on with the dance” till tomorrow. Strange groups collect on every available corner and indulge in Solomon like prophesies; overybody mixes with everybody, and nobody cares. “Poli tics!” is the slogan, and once more the campaigning shows signs of winding up with a blaze of glory. All comhines are in working order and everybody has a good chance to be satisfied. Down to brass tacks was the ulti_ tnatum issued to the aspiring ones last night, and pronto they become the per* spiring ones—-searching through vocab ularies, alas! too scant to express their aims. Conservation and an attempt to keep campus life in all its phases en tirely normal were the outstanding char acteristics of the numerous platforms, and certainly there should be no slowing up of the pulse of University life if it is possible to carry out the almost con certed aim of the candidates, regardless of what office they are running for.

The University battalion spent the two-hour period today iri setting up I’ro feasor E. II. McAlister’s portable bridge across the mill race, at the point where the race course curves at University street. The bridge will remain there the rest of the term and will afford passage across the race to the acre of ground on the other bank, owned by the Univer sity. Here it is rumored some girls have asked permission to put out a war gar den. It is too late for anything but corn and beans, Professor McAlister says, but if any University girls want the land to farm they are welcome to it. The bridge will allow room for canoes to pass under it, but one span will have to be taken down for the canoe fete Thursday evening. The distance between the water and the bottom of the bridge is but four feet, and this will not allow sufficient room for the decorated floats. Company C under Captain Charles Comfort spent the drill hour yesterday in puttine the suunorts of the bridge iu place.
