Band practice is held three times a week in Villard Hall from 7:30 to 9:00 p. m. on Monday. Wednesday and Friday. Most of the members are freshmen with only a few old men back.

Hail Tells of Driving Boche From Clouds. Two copies of "High Adventure,” a narrative of air fighting in France by ■lames Norman Hall have been placed up in the library shelves recently- Mr. Hall, the author of the book, was a personal fr.end of Kalph 11. 1.yman and of John •Mark Evans formerly members of the School of Music faculty. Mr. Hall attended Grinnell College in Grinnell, Iowa, where he was roommate of John Stark Evans. In 1!H)9 he visited M. H. Douglass, librarian of the l’Diver sity. In his book Hall detailed his life as an aviator and wrote experiences in driving the boche from the air. Now Prisoner in Germany. Captain Hall is now Prisoner of War No. 4705. Staumlagor. Uesejre Lazaretto No. ”, Saarbrueken, Germany. His pa rents later received a cablegram that he is now at an officers’ camp at Karls ruhe. Germany. In his letter, which follows in part, Mall recites his experiences the day he was captured: "I was diving vertically on a German machine when suddenly 1 heard a loud report and felt something give way. I saw that all the fabric on the upper surface of the upper right plane had tipped off. Luckily, enough of the cloth on the under surface ht Id to enable me to keep afloat although the machine lean ed heavily to one side “The combat started at about 15.000 feet. When the wing broke I was at d.UOO feet and about 10 kilometers inside the German lines. 1 started for home at cnee, but owing to the broken wing I had tc keep planing downward. I could see the lines of trenches only a little dis tance in front of me and 1 was thinking in another minute I will he safe’ when a shell from an anti-aircraft gun struct* my motor. I learned afterward it was only a small incendiary shell. The shell knocked the motor loose from its frame and struck without bursting. Machine Crashes to Earth. “My machine fell in a sort of nose spin, but I managed to keep it from crashing directly nose down. It hit the ground at an angle of 30 degrees. The motor spilled out on the ground as I struck and both of my feet, which were tangled up in it, were badly twisted. “I landed near some reserve dugouts, about three kilometers back of the Ger man first line trenches. 1 was wedged into my seat and couldn’t move until some soldiers lifted me out and carried - me to a dugout where they gave me some coffee and bandaged my right foot, which was giving me a good deal of pain. “Both my ankles were badly swollen and it was two weeks before the doctor could set 'the bones. When at last the swelling began to go down it was found that only the right one was broken. The oones had to be broken again, as they had begin}.to knit with my foot twisted to one side. Whew! What a painful opern ti n. Being shot 'through the shoulder was a pleasure in comparison- I was giv en cloroform. Three weeks later I was sent on to the hospital nt Saarbrucken. “My left foot is now as good as ever r-nd the right one will bo soon. I am still using crutches but within a week I shall lie able to walk very well with a cane. “Don’t imagine (that 1 don’t have enough to rat. My food here is whole some and good. Germany is not near!.' so badly off for food as you people a ! home are led to believe.” 1 _ WILL PICK OFFICERS AT U The University will select officer ma terial for field artillery at once, follow ing a telegram just received by Colonel W.

Few mou answered the call for soccer candidates issued yesterday afternoon but, as the call c( uflieted with several important meetings, more men are ex pected out 'today. Soccer is one of the regular Varsity sports and deserves the support of all of the men who have played the ancient Scottish game, or would like to learn. While soccer will come under the work of Eddie O'Connell the squad last night was handled by Roy Riley, former hack on the Crescent Club of Denver, Colora do. William F. Vance, secretary of the 'll'. M. C. A., was also out last evening chasing the boys around and reported that th<’ practice was a great appetite producer. Mr. Vance is an old hand at 'the game and should lie able to give the fellows some valuable points. Uiley. who is an S. A. T. C. man is one of the best bets among the new can didates having played on one of the strongest teams in this country his ex perience makes him a valuable man for tin1 Varsity. There are several old soccer players on the campus this year of for mer Oregon teams. Herman Lind has experience while llnseltine Sehmoer and V illiam Ralston are both clever play ers. Roy Davidson is unothr who was out for the last year’s squad, and should prove valuable this year. Inter-company soccer will probably ike up the early part of the training criod and will be follow'd by inter-colle giate contests if O. A C. or any other college in the traveling radius of Oregon decides to enter teams. Remains of Chief of Guard Staff Laid to Rest Beside Little Daughter. The funeral services of Max i'.
