' WESTERN FOOTBALL
IS FUSED ON LEVEL
WITH BEST IN EAST
Harvard Held To One Point
Margin In Hard Game
At Pasadena
OUTLOOK FOR 1920 GOOD
Several Stars to Be Lost But New
Material in Sight is Rated
High in Ability
New Year’s day brought to a close
one of the most successful seasons
of football that the University of
Oregon has ever enjoyed. When the
Varsity played to a standstill the
much touted heavy Harvard eleven,
losing 7 to 6, it made history for
the Lemon-yellow that will never be
forgotten.
Immediately upon the completion of
the active season on the gridiron the
opening of the fireside league was
announced, and the name of Oregon
lias spread all over the country as
a result of the wonderful showing
in Pasadena. All the sport critics
gave Oregon an edge on the playing
in that greatest of all classics and
the one outstanding factor that ap
pealed to the spectators was the
“Oregon fight” whicli predominated
from whistle to whistle.
Oregon Prestige Secure
The record made during the past
season did more for Oregon prestige
. than any event that has ever been
held. The 1917 game against Penn
sylvania. it is true, showed the foot
ball world ’that the west, and espe
cially Oregon, could hold her own
with any of the country, hut there
was still some doubt in the minds
of many. The eastern sport writers
at that time came forth with an
abundance of alibis for the east, such
as condition and foreign grounds, but
this year there was no opportunity
for excuses for the showing of the
eastern aggregation.
The main reason for Oregon's de
feat -was the large number of sub
stitutes that Coach Fisher of Har
vard had on hand to semi into the
fray. As soon as a man began to
weaken, he sent in another to re
place him and the second string men
* proved to be as strong if not strong
er than the first stringers. Oregon,
on the other hand, had to rely on a
few men, and as a result suffered
every time a new Harvard man was
sent in.
H. Huntington Sets Record
Two new names were placed be
side those of the many former foot
ball stars as a result of the game.
For Harvard, Arnold Horween was
the best ground gainer and outshone
the much-heralded Casey, who was
looked upon as the greatest Harvard
back. For Oregon H. Huntington made
a reputation for himself as the star
of the fracas, making 150 yards from
scrimmage. Steers kept up his stride
and played a wonderful game at
quarter and injuries alone kept him
from showing more than he did in
the contest. The whole Harvard
team made only 169 yards from
scrimmage. Oregon’s total was 293
yards.
wow mat me season is past, at
tention naturally turns to prospects
for the coming year. If the unex
pected does not happen, a great deal
of material will be on hand when the
first call is made next fall.
Three Great Players Lost
Ken Bartlett, “Baz” Williams and
Hollis Huntington will be lost through
graduation. These men were three
of Oregon’s best warriors during the
season and their loss will be great
ly felt. Besides these, it is doubt
ful if the Leslie brothers will be back
in October. Both of them have an
other year of gridiron sport before
them, but are not planning on re
turning. A few others have spoken
of not coming back, so Oregon will
lose a great number of her mainstays
at the end of this year.
The remaining first and second
string men alone form a good nu
cleus for a good aggregation for next
year and besides these a great deal
of material was developed on the
freshman team of this year. Three
of the men were used in the Mult
nomah game and proved themselves
to be of Varsity calibre.
GEOLOGY DEPARTMENT
HEAD WHO LEAVES
OREGON NEXT SPRING
DR. WARREN D. SMITH
Dr. Warren D. Smith, head of the
department of geology, will leave the
University in June on a year’s leave
of absence, which he will spend in
the Philippine islands as chief of the
bureau of mines- This position Dr.
Smith held before coming to the Uni
versty six years ago, was offered him
again on a permanent basis, but Dr.
Smith would accept it for only one
year. His compensation will be $4000
and practically all his expenses. Dr-'
Smith has within the last month re
fused to consider two other offers,
one for oil survey work in Mexico and
the other a University post in the
East which would have paid him
$3600 a year.

Shipment of Signal Flags, Semaphore
and Wigwag Received
i
; The ordnance department of the
| R- O. T. C. is now equipped to issue
i spiral leggings to all of the men in
i the corps. During the holidays a
j shipment large enough to supply all
of the men was received. Sergeant
Reed announces that men to whom
canvass leggings were issued may
turn them in and receive wraps in
their place.
A shipment of signal flags, both
wigwag and semaphore was also re
ceived. The barracks now has a com
plete first aid outfit including five
regulation army stretchers. These
will be used in the first aid instruc
tion which will be given the latter

REGISTRATION SHOWS j
GAIN OF 326 OVER
LAST TERM FIGURES
1600 Mark Probably Will Be
Reached This Week,
Says Registrar
EIGHT STUDENTS DROPPED
\
Art and Architecture Departments
Recently Put in Major List,
Have Increase
The number registering at the
University this quarter is slightly
larger than the first semester, the
total, up to this morning, being 1507
as compared with 1181 registered
during the first three days of the
previous quarter. It is thought that
that the 1600 mark will be reached
by the end of the week.
Only 300 took advantage of the
two extra days allowed for regis
tration, the majority of the students
making their schedules out after the
Christmas holidays.
There is an exceptionally large en
rollment in architecture and the arts,
especially in household arts as this
is the first year in which one could
major in that department. Miss
Helen Rhodes, assistant professor of
drawing, had to have eight more
desks installed in order to accom
modate the increase in one class, and
has been turning students away.
Commerce Records Incomplete
In other departments the number
of students is about the same as dur
ing the first quarter. In the school
of commerce the records are incom
plete, but up to the present the num
ber of majors is perhaps 25 less, al
though there are many studying sub
jects in the department who are tak
ing the majority of their courses
in another department.
The registration of new students
in the school of journalism has can
celled the number failing to obtain
passing grades. There are still
about 110 majors.
Considerable interest is being
shown in the applied anatomy and
mechanism of movement course, giv
en for sophomores in the department
of physical education. It is the first
strictly technical course offered. The
class has never had a larger mem
bership than nine, but is now com
posed of 15 members.
50 Majors in Music
There are 50 majors in the school
of music, and 75 others who are tak
ing work. It is thought that others
who do not desire college credit will
register later.
According to Carlton E. Spencer,
registrar, eight students have been
dropped from college for failing two
terms in succession. A total of 30
have been placed on probation and
are liable to be dropped at any time
their work is low.
PROF. PACKARD BACK
AFTER GEOLOGY TRIP
Richard Nelson, '19, Assists in Sur
vey of Oil Seeps in North
west
Professor E. L. Packard of the geol
ogy department has just returned to
his duties at the University after six
months field work in Oregon and
western Washington. During this
time Professor Packard covered sev
eral thousand miles by auto and in
vestigated practically every oil seep i
reported in Oregon and Washington
He was assisted in his work by j
Richard Nelson, a graduate of June,1
1919- Nelson has done very good j
work since graduation, Professor;
Packard said, and has been given a
permanent position by the company
for which they were working. Nelson j
is now located at Colinga, in Fresno
county, California.
Professor Packard has been located
at San Francisco since Thanksgiving.
He declined to go into detail regard
ing his experiences during the sum
mer and fall while investigating re
ported oil prospects, but he promised
that he would have many interesting
little incidents to relate to his geology j
classes from time to time.
STUDENT VOLUNTEER
DELEGATES ARRIVE
WITH NEW PLANS
S040 People Register On Second
Day of National Con
ference
WONDERFUL SPIRIT SHOWN
Plans for Vesper Service Being
Made to Present Program
to Students
The first students to return from
the World Student Conference in Des
Moines arrived on the campus this
morning with many new ideas to pre
sent to the students, according to
John Houston, business manager for
the delegation. “A program is being
arranged the way we want to present
it to the students but the faculty has
not yet agreed o the plans,” says
Houston, “but it is our desire to hold
a Vesper Service soon at which we
may present to the students all we
brought back with us. The conven
tion was entirely different from what
were were expecting, emphasizing
missionary work by college men and
women and some national topics were
discussed.”
The delegation from Oregon left
Portland on December 28, arriving in
Des Moines when the convention
started January 4- “On arriving,”
says Houston, “we registered at the
city hall and by the end of the second
day of the convention 8040 had regis
tered. The meetings were held at the
Collosium at Des Moines and dele
gates from practically all over the
world were present, all South Ameri
can countries were represented as well
as the West Indies, China, Japan, In
dia and all presented their cases.”
All colleges were seated in sections
according to the districts from which
they came. The Oregon delegation
was able to meet with other delega
tions and this way obtain new ideas
on student government and organiza
tion.
“The spirit was wonderful,,” de
clared Houston, “with so many col
leges represented, all giving their
yells and all the speakers were live
wires. It was most worth while.”
“The convention,” declared Houston,
“broadened our viewpoint of things
It showed to us the value of mis
sionary work in college, the value of
relationship between colleges. The
spirit brought the east and the west
■closer together than they ever have
been before. We want to let the stu
dent know what the convention was
and what we received from it, also
the value of the whole thing and what
a monstrous thing it was in the whole.
Announcements will be made as soon
as definate plans for the vesper ser
vice have been arranged.”

“Bill” Hayward '
OREGON MAY LOSE
TRAINER HAYWARD
BILL CONSIDERING OFFER—SOON
TO MAKE DECISION—HERE
FOR 16 YEARS
Whether Bill Hayward, veteran
trainer of Oregon athletes, will re
main here or accept an offer from
another institution at a largely in
creased salary is expected to be de
cided within the next few days.
During the holidays word reached
the campus that Hayward had receiv
ed an offer from another college re
garding his services in the future. A
telegram was sent to the trainer who
replied that he would take no action
until he had had an opportunity to
discuss the situation personally with
| President Campbell.
Bill Hayward has been connected
with the University since 11)04, and
has trained several men who have
broken records in track events. Thru
his services Oregon men have invar
iably been kept in tip top condition
for gridiron contests. Hayward has
succeeded in putting the men in con
dition for post-season games, as the
defeat of the University of Pennsyl
vania and the narrow margin of Har
vard’s victory testify.
