Th< Christmas cantata, "In Search of
a King," filled every available seat in
the Pioneer opera house Friday even-i
ing and was undoubtedly one of the
prettiest things along this line ever
given here. The big Christmas night
ball was a "crush," something over 100
couples being in the grand march.
Many who had jone merely as spectat
ors fell victims to the lure of the music
and the general holiday tmosphere,
and Joined the dancers a made mer- I

a late hour. A fine unch was served
at the Hotel Idaho, Mrs. Bowers, the

many little Informal affairs among
neighbors and friends are contributing
factors In making the winter days pass

everyone in the division, will battle
Jack Britton at Buffalo New Year's ,
day for the welterweight title. i
uou
in which the elevens of the University
of Oregon and the University of Penn
sylvania will be opponents. The contest
will involve a traveling mileage of close
to 10,000 miles and this will probably
establish a record for a single football
ga me.
Late in the season of 1915 Syracuse
university team made a trip to the
Pacific const, winning from the Oregon
Aggies 28 to 0 and Occidental college
35 to 0. Last new year's day (1910)
Brown played Washington State at
Pasadena and was defeated 14 to 0.
EVEN CONTEST PROMISED.
ie Name between Pennsylvania and
Oregon is likely to be more evenly con
tested as the eastern and far western
university elevens appear to be equally
matched so far as can be judged from
their respective records, weights and
methods of offense and defense. Sev- ,
eral of the players on each team stand j
out in their respective sections as grid- J
iron stars of high calibre. If the con
test is fought out on a dry field it js
likely that both Fullback Howard
Berry, of Pennsylvania, and Shy Hunt
ington, the Oregon quarterback, will
shine In the open field running and
field goal kicking.
Both teams Include other Impressive |
players and their records are above the
average. Oregon has not been defeat
ed this year although held to a no
score tie by Washington. Pennsylvania,
defeated by Swarthmore and Pitts
burg- and tied by Dartmouth, came very
strong at the ».lose of the season and
should be In excellent, shepe for the
hard game that Oregon will unfcover |
against the Quake, eleven. The records
of the two teams for recently complet
ed season is as follows:
