Enrollment to Date 1249 Against 1040 Last Year, Reports Extension Head September Record Month; 288 Term Hours’ Credit Earned in 102 Courses A forty per cent increase in the number of correspondence courses completed up to October is report ed by Dan E. Clark, head of the extension division. Statistics re leased from the division show an increase of 20 per cent over last year in the number of enrollments, and more than 30 per cent increase in the number of lesson papers cor rected. Over 500 Courses Completed There have been 503 correspond ence courses completed up to date this year, while but 362 were fin ished within the same time last year. Course registrations number 1,249 so far, as compared with 1,040 for the first nine months of last year. This year 11,145 lesson papers have been corrected, while 8,525 were corrected up to October first of last year. ' The number of courses completed is- considered much more important than the number of enrollments,” said Mr. Clark. “Only about one third of the courses enrolled in are ever completed. To have finished a correspondence course -shows much more perseverance than is re quired to complete a course in reg ular session. We have found, how ever, that students who receive high grades in correspondence courses do so in their regular studies also.” The grades as a rule are slightly higher than those for regular ses sion. Dr. Clark believes the reason for this to be that students en rolled in correspondence study have definite reasons for complet ing the course, and therefore apply themselves more diligently. An other reason he gives is that people failing correspondence courHos sel dom complete their work, and so no grade is turned in for them. The grades for September are a little higher than for other months. They are ns follows^ I, 10 per cent; II, 25 per cent; III, 40 per cent; IV, 20 per cent; V, 'five per cent. “September waB tho Diggost month we have ever had in the extension division,” said l)r. Clark. “One hundred and twenty students enrolled in 136 courses. There wore 10 2 (courses completed; those courses totaled 288 term liburs ’ credit. That is equivalent to about li) students, each doing one term’s work in tho University.” Dr. Clark remarked on tho do- j oid'ed increase in correspondence study this year, lie has not re-! eeived dofinite information about the Portland extension division, but declares that there is every in dication of the same unusual in crease in class courses. Since tho j University does not advertise its j extension work in any way except I by regular bulletins, Dr. Clark, can j see no definite reason for the in crease. He believes that students r enrolled in courses toll their ! friends, -and in that way spread the] information.

ASPIRING PUGILISTS TAUGHT BY DAVIS Crash! Bang! Thud! That’s how it Sounds in the! men's gymnasium when the 60 oi 70 aspirants to Ja.tk Dempsey’s crown step onto the resined canvas, Under the watchful eye of Perry Davis and his assistants, boxing classes are being held regularly on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, In fact, the instructors *ave ar ranged the schedule so that those who are interested may obtain box | ing lessons on any day of the week; I from two to six P. M. on the three I class days, and from four to six on the remaining days. I The men, according to Mr. Davis, I are being taught to fight scientifi • cally and from a standpoint# of sportsmanship, rather than to slug and try for a knockout.

WESTEIAN DEFEATED IN FAST NET PLAY Second Round Of Tennis Tournament Completed Despite several shiowers during the day, the second round of the fall tennis tournament was cpmpleted yesterday with a number of good matches being played. Several matches were played in the morn ing and the rest were played in the afternoon. The most import ant mptch of the afternoon was that between Bill Adams and Irv ing Westerman which 'went to Adams, 6-1, 6-4. Adams, letterman from last year’s team displayed conservative tennis through both sets of his match. Westerman on the other hand played flashy ten nis at times but not enough to complete with Adam’s consistent play. Westerman is not in as good condition as he might be and has not had enough practice to really make hint a consistent player. Another match which drew much comment was that of Cohen and Gamboa which was won by Cohen, 6-2, 6-4. This match was well play ed as both racquet wielders dis play a very fast pace of tennis. Gambon, who defeated "Peterson in the morning’s play, has not had quite enough experience to really compete for u berth. According to Coach SEdward Abercrombie, Gamboa with a little ntpre experi ence will bo able to give any of the local netmen a good run for their position on the varsity. The Coffin-Veazie match, which was to have been played yesterday, has been scheduled for three o’clock today. The winner of this match will meet Bill Adams in a match at four o’clock ^n court five. In j the Coffin-Veazie match, Coffin is considered the likely winner. The results of yesterday’s The results of yesterday’s matches are as follows: T. Peterson to P. Gamboa, 6-4, 6-3; R, Yoko to Vea zie, 6-1, 6-0; T. Thompson to Mertz 6-1, 8-10, 6-2; Gamboa to Cohen 5- 2, 6-4; Harding to Mitchell 6-3, 6- 1; tteln^soil to Cross 6-3|l * 1; Vidgkoff to W.

CLASS COMPETITION IN SWIMMING ANTICIPATED “Everybody out for swimming,” is the plea of Miss E. Troomol, f conch for women’s swimming. Miss Troemol lias met with difficulty in ! arousing enthusiasm for swimming ' in the institutions where she has j previously coached. This is her first year at Oregon. Here, swimming is one of the most popular sports, and the competition is keen. Har ing the practice periods the pool has been crowded to capacity. At meets, spectators have filled the balcony of the room to watch the races, diving contests, and swim This year, the girls will not be mors. urged by the house to go out for j swimming. All competition will! depend upon class spirit, lentil the new plan has been actually put in-1 to operation, and there has been i competition between the classes, there can bo little class spirit. But most of the swimmers of last year must be on the campus. She urges them to support their classes by signing up in the women’s building as early as possible for voluntary | competition. Practices for juuiors I and seniors will be held at five | o’clock on Wednesday of this week, for freshmen and sophomores on : New Presbyterian Student Center I Westminister House recently constructed at 14th Avenue and Kincaid Streets at a cost of about 25,000 j Thursday. • On the remaining days of the week at the same hour the pool will be used for open practices.

Over 150 subscriptions had been received Monday night and are now on the mailing list of the Emerald.. A real interest and desire to send the Emerald has been shown by the students this year.

While on the subject of tourists, Miss Cornier said that the situa eause of its tremendous success this was particularly deplorable.
