Do pesters see Alluring Prospects for
Champion Grid Team Next Season
as Only Two Vets Plan on Gradu
ation.
SCHEDULE GOOD
Oregon Has Chance of Winning
Every Game on List; May Even
Get Chance to Play Eastern Team
New Years
Since the grid squad returned from
Hawaii, winding up the season with
two decisive victories, fanning bees
with next season as the principal topic |
of conversation have been the ofder.
As only two veterans of this year’s
team graduate, Mart Howard and
■“Spike” Leslie, and as Oregon has a
schedule for next year that doesn’t
prophecy defeat in the first reel, it is
possible to build some mighty alluring
air eastles, which if they don’t come
true, at least will be founded on fact.
In the first place, with a team com
posed largely of veterans, the same !
backfield that played through an ex
tended season together this year, pros
p.eets are that next year’s team will at
least be doped “in the running” at the
start of the season. This year’s team
was far from “out of the running” and
it is safe to say that next year the
eleven will be even better. Of course
it is impossible to take early season
injuries, poor grades and such things
into consideration in a “dope” story,
but not allowing for those things,
Coach Huntington will have a very
strong team next year.
Take also the fact that Oregon has
a good schedule next year. The sched
ule hasn’t met with the whole-hearted \
approval of students here because the
home games are none too frequent but
at the same time one can look the list
of games over and say that Oregon has
a chance to beat every team booked.
Idaho, Washington State and O. A. C.
are not counted as won, but Oregon
should beat these teams from present
dope. Oregon never has lost to Idaho
and shouldn’t. W. S. C. will be weak
ened by graduation and O- A. C.
shouldn’t be allowed to cop a game un
til 1927, by the law of the “ten year
period.” Enoch Bagshaw will have
probably the most formidable team in
the northwest next year and this game
at Seattle will probably be the hardest
of the quartet of coast conference
games now scheduled for Oregon. But
Bagshaw’s team will be composed
chiefly of members of their freshman
team of the past year and Oregon’s
veterans should stand a chance against ■
them.
Now for the “air castle.” Should Ore
gon win these four games, or at least
come through without a defeat, and
should California come through with a
clean slate in her games, it is not only
likely but probable that Oregon and
California will meet in the sonth, either
on the Berkeley field or the Stanford
stadium. Or in event Stanford cleaned
up on California, Oregon and Stanford
might meet in the south. The winner
of such a game would of course be de
clared the conference champion.
Since Oregon doesn’t play either of
the southern schools next year, it is
possible that in the event either Stan
ford or California comes through with
a clean slate, and Oregon beats all the
northern teams, a post-season game will
be arranged to settle the coast title.
This would probably be demanded by
the coast conference officials since
they have taken upon themselves the
decision as to the conference champion
ship in the future as well as the stag
ing of the east-west game.
Such a game at Stanford or Berke
ley would be a big attraction in the
south and Oregon would have an op
portunity to reestablish her reputation
in the south, a reputation somewhat
smeared by the showings made in the
last two years- Also such a game would
likely add considerable to the coffers of
the associated students here and make
it possible to stage a few more games
at home during the season following.
A Stanford-Oregon or California-Ore
gon game would end in either defeat
or victory for Oregon. In the event
of defeat, of course, Oregon would be
runner-up and would have to be satis
fied with such laurelB. Should Oregon
win, however, it would be the team

OREGON [RACK MEN
MAY PARTICIPATE IN
PENN RELAY GAMES
Coach Hayward Sees Chance
for His Proteges to
Make Trip East
MEETING SET FOR MONDAY
Spearow and Abbott Appear
Probabilities; Hard Work
of Season Near
Oregon is to be represented at the
Penn Relay games at the University of
Pennsylvania, April 27-28-29, if the men
trying out prove to be of sufficient
worth to merit the trip, according to
Coach Bill Hawyard. “The Penn Re
lay Games is one of the greatest
sporting events of the intercollegiate
world,” Hayward said, “and the chance
to participate should inspire every
track candidate to show up at his
best.”
At the meet, which is an annual af
fair, teams from practically every col
lege in the country will participate.
Last year over 600 representatives took
part, in the mile, two mile, and other
relay contests.
Work to Begin at Once
Intensive work on track is to begin
at once, according to Hayward, who has
issued a call for all track men, or any
one who is interested in track, to meet
at 4:15 Monday afternoon in the out
door gymnasium building.
At the meeting plans will be dis
cussed for the coming season, and ar
rangements made so that every candi
date will be assured of a chance to
develope to the best of his ability.
Schedules for contests have not yet
been arranged, but in addition to the
Coast and Northwest Conference meets,
and the dual meet with O. A. C., other
events, especially for the first year
men will be arranged.
So far, the only men who have shown
up as prospects for the Penn games are
Ralph Spearow, who attracted a great
deal of attention with his work on the
first year squad last spring; Leith Ab
bott, who is well known in eoast ath
letic circles, and Grillev, also a mem
ber of last spring’s frosh squad- Web
ber, a hurdler, is also mentioned as a
possibility.
Coach Hayward expects to build his
team for this spring around his last
year’s men, although the prospects for
new men are very encouraging. In the
sprints, Grilley,, Larson, Oberteuffer,
and Hemenwav, are expected to show
up well, while Webber, Hemenwav,
Kunhausen, and Campbell will uphold
the hurdle honors.
Other Good Prospects
Other men well known for their work
last season are: Sunderleaf, Hayslip,
Jensen, and Covalt, in the 440-vard
dash: Abbott, Portwood, Peltier. Wyatt,
and Sloan, 880; Walklev, Koepp, Beat
tie, Purdev, and Akers, mile; Spea
row, Webber, Bowles, and Kuhnhausen,
.lumps; and Shields, Parsons, Strachan,
and Vender Ahe, weights.
Track and field work-outs will begin
at once for all men out, according to
Hawyard, who emphasizes the import
ance of the meeting Monday at 4:15 in
the outdoor gym. Te also wishes to
announce that attendance at track will
take the place of gym work for those
desiring credit.
Men Visit Sororities and Sing
Love Ditties to Dining Girls
Thursday night in several sorority
houses there was enacted a little drama,
a comedy to the listeners, but something
else to the chief actor!
The action ran something like this:
during dinner, a youth rather well
known at the house rings the door-bell
brazenly. When it is opened, he
marches in, evidently influenced by
some unseen spirit without, stalks to
the table, stands behind the one to
whom he would most prefer to sing
privately, and bursts forth into song.
He sings “I Love You Truly” in a
“base” voice. She wonders what she
has done to his brothers to bring this
upon herself. Amid thunderous ap
plause he stumbles out- He returns,
again influenced by Something out
side. and sings “Let The Rest of the
World Go By.” This time he really
leaves for good.
In some houses much useful work
was performed that evening, but not
by their regular inhabitants. Some of
the frequent visitors visited under com
pulsion. They cleaned the hearths and
1 polished shoes—influenced again by
unseen forces.
All these variations in sorority life
were the result of the time-honored
custom of pre-initiation week. For
many, many reasons the neophytes will
find life vastly more enjoyable after
this week.
One night another act in the drama
of pre-initiation took place. Scene:
Before the Bible University. Time:
Not for publication. Characters: Cer
tain pre-initiates having found it com
patible with their comfort to arm them
selves with such weapons as shovels,
brooms, sledge-hammers, they approach.
After strong persuasion, they mount
guard there. The scene closes with!
the able guardians matching back and '
forth, back and forth, thinking naughty!
words instead of noble thoughts about
their duty. 1
REDSKINS SLAUGHTERED
BY YEARLINGS; 49 TO 25
Poulson Stars for Frosh; Downie High
Point Man for Visitors; Second
Game of Series Tonight
—
Easily outclassing their opponents
the frosh took the Chemawa Indians
by a 49 to 25 score, in a preliminary
to the Varsitv-Sundodger contest. They
seemed to have hit their stride at the
first of the game for they passed the
ball well and converted most of their
attempts, but as they forged ahead they
grew careless, for toward the end of
the first half, and during most of the
last half they passed up many close
shots, and also made a number of wild
passes.
The Chemawa aggregation was com
pletely outclassed when it came to
teamwork, but their shooting was of
the onehanded variety and several of
their baskets were made by one of the
Redmen taking a wild shot without
looking for the basket.
The Frosh were never in danger, and
the score should have been a great deal
larger if the men had taken time on
their shots- Their teamwork showed a
world of improvement and when they
began converting their close shots
should be able to show the Rooks a
good battle.
Poulson for the Frosh was high man,
as he grabbed off nine baskets during
the game. Downie of the Chemawa
team played good ball and dropped in
six baskets..
The second game of the series will
be played as a preliminary to the Wash
ington game tonight and will start at
seven o ’clock sharp.
FOOTBALL TEAM PRAISED
GOVERNOR OF HAWAII LAUDS
MEN AS CLEAN PLAYERS
Hope Expressed That Future Games
May be Arranged; Visit Enjoyed,
Says Letter
President Campbell has received a
letter from W. R. Farrington, Gover
nor of Hawaii, a former Oregon man,
in which the highest praise is heaped
upon the men of the Oregon team. The
letter follows:
My dear Dr. Campbell:
The fine young men of the football
team representing your University have
come to the Islands, walked all over
the best we have been able to present
in the way of football teams and are
leaving possessed with the high esteem
and good will of the people of Hono
lulu.
You have reason to be proud of these
young men and the splendid work they
have done on the football field. Wo
share in that pride because even the
defeated teams prefer to be the victims
of a team who have been found to be
always genuine sportsmen and clean
players under all conditions.
We have enjoyed the visit of the Ore
gon boys immensely and I trust that at
some future time other representatives
of your institution will return when
our men have learned more points in
the game and can give them a little
harder struggle for their glory.
With best wishes to your institution
and all other good Oregonians, I re
main,
Yours cordially,
W. R. FARRINGTON,
Governor of Hawaii.

FROSH GLEE DECORATIVE
SCHEME IS ELABORATE
Unique Programs, Good Music Promised
By Chairman of Committees
For Dance, February 10
The chairman of the committees
charged with the management of the
Frosh Glee to be held Friday, February
10, at the armory, conferred Thursday
evening in regard to working out plans
for the affair.
The decoration committee has worked
out some very elaborate features to be
used in “dressing” the hall and it is
promised that the effect will be most
pleasing. The scheme is entirely new
and original. Music is to be furnished
by the best possible orchestra that can
be obtained, probably to consist of six
pieces. Programs have been designed i
that are quite unique style. Added to
the other details will be plenty of
punch.
Don Park, general chairman of the j
Glee, states that every endeavor is be ,
ing made to “put over” the dance sue ’
cessfullv and that no stone has been !
left unturned that could in any wav '
make the affair a more enjoyable one. |
STUDENT DANCE JANUARY 28
The second student body dance of the
term will be held in the Woman’s build
ing a week from tonight. The Akers’
six-piece orchestra has been secured to
furnish music. Complaints have been
made, heretofore, according to Art
Campbell, chairman of the student
body dance committee, that student
body dances were not announced soon
enough for dates to be made. In order
to remedy this fault Campbell made the
announcement early, he said. The
dance admittance will be 75 cents.
EXTENSION SERVICE
SNOWS OIG GROWTH
DORIRG PAST TEAR
Better Quality Marks Work;
Courses Find Demand
in Portland
MAIL STUDY INCREASES
Registration 1136 for 1921;
Reading Certificates
Total 4422
“Growth with considerable improve
ment in quality in almost every aspect
of extension service is evident at the
close of 1921,” reads the annual re
port of the extension division for 1921.
“Effort throughout the year has been
directed toward qualitative improve
ment; increases in numbers have come
because of increased demand.”
The extension division is the official
agency through which the University
of Oregon renders service to organiza
tions and individuals outside the cam
pus. Such has been the scope of work
and responsibility of the extension di
vision in the University for several
years past.
The extension service of the Univer
sity of Oregon include the Portland
extension center, correspondence-study
instruction, teachers’ reading circle, ex
tension lectures, public welfare activit
ies, Oregon high school debate league,
promotion travel, and much miscellane
ous, unclassified and incidental service.
Portland Has Demand
There has been a hearty demand for
the services of the extension division
in Portland where courses are being
conducted under the general supervision
of Dr. George Rebec. Dr. Rebec has
said that the guiding principles of the
extension division’s work in Portland
are to give an opportunity for continu
ing their higher education to those who
are not willing or are not able to drop
their daily work and go to college;
to develop in persons a desire to go
away to college; to recruit students for
the University by giving out informa
tion to those making inquiry about the
institution; and to let tho people of
Portland ltnow about the University.
During the winter term of 1921, 70
classes were conducted at the Portland
center with 575 students enrolled. The
spring term had 65 classes with 352
registered students, the summer term 40
classes with 546 students, and the fall
term 85 classes with 1,113 students. Tn
addition to the students enrolled in the
classes there were about a thousand or
more visitors to all these clnses every
week. These last figures are considered
valuable proof of the increasing popu
larity of the courses in Portland. Tn
the fall of 1920 there wore but 746
registered students in these classes.
This is more than a 50 per cent increase
over the preceding year.
Heavy Increase Shown
The correspondence school has like
wise received a heavy increase in en
rollment since last year. The regis
tration has grown from 328 in the year
1909 to 1136 for 1921. Tn 1920 there
were but 724 enrolled. More than 50
per cent of gain has been seen in one
year in correspondence study. During
the last year 828 residents of the

MRS CAMPBELL TO PORTLAND
Mrs. P. L. Campbell will leave for
Portland in the morning to attend the
annual meeting of the scholarship loan
fund of the Oregon Federation of Wo
men’s Clubs which will be held to

MLLE. BIDGRAIN TO SPEAK
SPECIAL ASSEMBLY CALLED FOR
1:30 TODAY IN VILLARD
Secretary of World Student Christian
Federation to Talk of Problems
of Life in Universities
The special assembly which has been
called for 1:30 today will give Oregon
students a unique opportunity of hear
ing one of the most outstanding figures
in European public life, Milo. Estelle
Bidgrain, Secretary of the World Stu
I dent Christian Federation, who, it is
i said, has done more to mould college
thought than any othor woman in
France. Mile. Bidgrain comes to the
campus as a personal guest of Dean
Fox, and will speak at. Villard hall on
Student Life in Europe.
Tho friendship between Dean Fox
and Bidgrain had its beginning several
years ago, when, in 1911, they met at
a student convention held at Indian
apolis. The same year, Mile. Bidgrain
visited Northwestern University at.
Evanston, 111., and addressed the stu
dent assembly in the interest of the
Christian student movement of France,
an organization to which the American
Y. W- C. A. is most nearly comparable.
Throughout the war, Mile. Bidgrain
did remarkable work in supporting the
morale of tho French students who
were still in the colleges. Among other
things, she helped in maintaining a lit
tle newspaper whieh was published
regularly and sent to every student
soldier in the trenches under arms.
Dean Fox and Milo. Bidgrain were
associated in France for nine months in
the same type of war work, and spent
several weeks together visiting a num
ber of Fronch universities. Today is
the first opportunity they have had for
renewing their acquaintance since Dean
Fox’s return to this country.
“Suzanne Bidgrain is really the lead
ing woman graduate in French univer
sity circles,” Dean Fox explained en
thusiastically. “Tall, dark haired,
charming, her personality is command
ing, and she has tho power of winning j
the admiration of evoryono with whom
she comes in contact,” she continued.
Speaks Good English
“She is well informed on all the
important events of the times, and dis
cussed theso subjects with the stu
dents of Europe. To everything, she
gives a Christian background, inter
preting world events in the light of
Christianity.” Mile. Bidgrain speaks
excellent English, and her talk to the
Oregon students will, I am sure, bo of
great interest and value,” said Doan
Fox.
Although she is traveling throughout j
the United States in the interest of the j
World Student Christian Federation, of j
which she is secretary, there will be no j
solicitation whatever at the special j
assembly at Villard. Booths will be ;
placed in the Y. W. bungalow and in j
the Y. M. hut, and those students who '
care to contribute to the fund will j
have the opportunity of doing so. i
VARSITY NO MATCH
FOR SUNDODGERS IN
HARO FOUGHT GAME
Speedy and Brilliant Contest
Ends in Washington Victory
By Count of 46 to 19
BELLER STARS FOR OREGON
Marked Improvement Shown
by Lemon-Yellow Quintet in
Last Night’s Fray
Last night in the fastest, hardest
fought game of tho local conference
season the speedy Sundodgers walloped
the varsity five 46-19. Although the
scoro was one-sided it was a fight all
the way with the visitors running away
from the Lemon-Yellow in brilliant
passing and shooting.
Both teams made numerous substi
tutions, Oregon using ten men and
Washington nine. Bryan opened the
visitors ennonndo with a counter from
the center of the floor, a minute later
Francis Beller started tho varsity’s
fireworks with a beautiful basket shot
from behind tho center ring. The first
few minutes of the first half was nip
and tuck with both fives registering
markers, then Washington started pull
ing away and gradually increased their
lead until the closing gun was fired.
First Half is Close
The varsity showed marked improve
ment in their game lust night and put
up a good exhibition of basketball in
the initial canto, the count at half time
being Oregon 12, Washington 21. In
the final period tho Vikings made 25
points against 7 for the Oregonians.
Francis Roller at guard put up a
wonderful exhibition annoxing three
field goals and passing and and check
ing brilliantly. For the visitors Craw
ford, their diminutive guard, was the
most spectacular player, fast as a
streak Crawford was, repeatedly in
strumental in breaking up Orogon plays
and getting the ball down to his own
offensive. Nicholson and Lewis the
Sundodgor's forwards played good ball
and were fast and sure in their floor
work.
Lewis Is High Man
Lowis was the high point man for
tho Vikings with seven baskets for a
total of 14 points to his credit. Nichol
son was runner up with four field goals.
Crawford, shooting free throws for the
visitors converted nix in oight attempts.
Nicholson who shot the fouls after
Crawford was relieved by Gundlack se
cured none in two attempts.
For the varsity, Boiler was tho main
point winner with three field goals.
Ttol Andre converted one foul in three
attempts and hooped Jtwo long ones

“NIGHT WALKERS” ACTIVE
Be-Trousored Girls Pursue Ivy on
Mysterious Rambles
For the last threo days a horde of
be-trousered girls has been working
under cover of darkness. Judging from
the costumes, and the time which they
work, they might bn termed “Night
Riders.” A lack of steeds, however, as
well as the vast territory covered night
ly by them, suggests “night walkers”
as a superior appellation. Slipping up
and down trees, ducking under hedges
and oven scaling walls are trifles to
those masters of the art of stealth.
Tho purpose of these mysterious ram
bles is obvious—ivy for Co-ed dance
decorations, of course!
Last Chance Today for Oregana;
$2.30 Must Be Paid By Tonight
“Today’s the day! Tomorrow ’ll be
too late!”
So Haith the managers of the of
fieial date directory of the associated
student body of the University of Ore
gon. Tn plain words it means just this:
That tonight the annual campaign for
subscriptions for the Oregana will be
over, and that all those who have not
by some means approved or disapproved
in polite society, secured their $2.50
and presented it to some duly author
ized agent of the publication will lose
forever their chances for the 1922 book.
For the benefit of those who do not
know where to exchange their $2.50
for a receipt, solicitors will be found
in the lobby of the library again today
from 10 to 12 and from 1 to 4. Tt has
boon rumored that if a student ear
nestlv desires to subscribe, but is
“broke until the first”—he may whis
per in the ear of the person in charge
and date his check for February.
The managers are particularly eager
that no one be left out who really wants
a copy of the book when they are
ready to bo delivered this spring, and
are therefore making this suggestion
to students who would otherwise have
to go without.
In ease there may be some member
of the student body who doos not know
of what the Oregana consists the fol
lowing explanations from the editor

"There will bo nothing in the book
this year, that is not useful or orna

By the useful, she means the pic
