REDUCED RATES GIVEN STUDENTS ON VACATION December 21 to January 8 Limit of Ticket Sale Christmas vacation railroad rates have been granted the students of the University of Oregon by both the Sou thern Pacific and Oregon Electric com panies. The Southern Pacific offers special fares, on a basis of a fare and a half for round-trips, to all points on their lines, where the one-way fare is $30 or less*. The sale dates are Decem ber 21, 22 and 23, and the final return limit January 8. They also haye sim ilar fares for their regular holiday rates whose sales dates are December 22, 23, 24, 25, 29, 30, 31 and January 1. The final return limit on these rates is Jan uary 3. The Oregon Electric is putting into effect the same rates they used during the Thanksgiving holidays, that is, a fare and a half for the round trip. The tickets are on sale December 21, 22 and 23, and the final return limit is Jan uary 8. Unfortunately, the University has been unable to get rates for students li ving in eastern Oregon and points north of Portland. Information to this ef fect was received in a letter to Karl Onthank, secretary to the president, from L. T. Sparks, district freight and passenger agent of the Southern Pacific, which said: “Regret to advise you that our con necting lines out of Portland will not concur in these reduced rates, hence the reduced rates will not apply east and north of Portland. SCHEDULE ARRANGED (Oontinuad from page one.) Cougars are tangling with the Huskies at Seattle. Then a week later Oregon and Washington will wind up the con ference season December 1 in the Seat tle stadium. Another thing that was definitely de cided at the conference meeting was that henceforth the Pacific Coast con ference is to keep its hands off the Pasadena game. Although all post sea son games are discouraged by the con ference, teams with good records may schedule games within reason at the'.r own discretion. Professor Howe had not intended asking the conference permission for! Oregon to play West Virginia until after that ruling had been passed, but j largely due to the over-anxiety of the San Diego people the news leaked out and the matter came up prematurely and was thoroughly discouraged by the conference, the other colleges holding that since Oregon had bucked Stanford in her desire to play Pittsburg it would not look well for the Webfooters to make the trip south. If the proposi-j tion had not come up until the confer-. ence had decided not to meddle with j intersectional games but to leave it to I the discretion of the individual colleges ! it would have been a different mater. \ Tilt Could Be Pressed Oregon could, according to Professor Howe, very probably have won her point and secured conference permis sion had she desired to press the matter, inasmuch as there was considerable difference of opinion as to the relative merits of the proposition on the part of the University faculty and also so much opposition on the part of the other colleges that it was decided to let the game go by the board. With eight conference, three North west and five Pacific Coast, games on her hands for next fall, Oregon will have her hands full. It is a good sched ule too, except for one very important thing. There are but two gams on the books for Hayward field, and one of them relatively unimportant, that with Pacific which is a minor practice game. The only big game is with the Oregon Aggies, Homecoming. With eight games on the books four of them should be played in Eugene when it is con sidered that the Pacific game is a prac tice game. It is true that there are many reasons for playing the games away from home, the game in Pendle ton for example, between Oregon ’ and Whitman, is a fine thing for eastern Or egon and the University interests there. However, the Stanford-Oregon game now scheduled for Portland would be a very popular game for Hayward field as far as the students are concerned. It seems as though Oregon might se cure more games on a turn about basis and get at least one game out of three played with a particular institution on the home lot.
