AXGEIi HOT AFTER GAME College Basketball Team Meets Christian Brothers Fire Saturday. MOUNT ANGEL COLLKOH Mount Angel. Or., Feb. $. (Special.) The college baakvthall team will meet the Christian Brothers' Business College segregation on the home floor next Saturday night. In the first game of the season the book keepers downed the collegians and have since sedulously proclaimed their victory at every opportunity, so that the col logluns ar more than anxious to play again. The Saturday following the Spartans are again scheduled to appear here. Manager Sander has been trying hard all season to make arrangements for one or more games with Columbia Univer sity, but that team seems rather shy about meeting the Angels. Mount Angel College defeated Columbia to Ice last year. Sllverton. which the college de feated lust year, also refuses to play, depite their newspaper challenges, ex cept on their own floor. Setting a pace faster than that of the first two nights, gaining one lap on the Tuesday night record for a total distance of 115 laps, the leading trio Barndollar, Booth and Vanderllp In the Young Men'a Christian Association i 1ak six-aay aiarainon race remain in ano same position as formely after the third night's run. All three are bundled within five yards of each other. The other runners are straggling in the rear of the leaders. At times last night the half-hour race seemed more like a sprint, the con testants, striking a fast pace. Just be fore the gun was fired ending the race the three leaders sprinted for three laps, with Barndollar carrying off the sprinting honors. Foot sore and weary, Mumford, Kurtx and McElroy. although far behind with no hope of gaining on the leaders, stuck gamely through the rare. All are com plaining of sore feet but vow they will go until the last gun Is fired. Mum ford, a high school boy, limping badly, was crowded Into last position last night. Barndollar, who finished first last night. Is also troubled with sore feet, having worn shoes too tight on Mondaa night. Assuming the positions they .held at the atart of Tuesday's race, the men started last night- Booth and Barndollur started even, with Vanderhp two yards behind. Barndollar Jumped into the load and set a heart-breaking pace for the first few laps. Booth and Vanderllp fol lowed and then slowed down, Barndollar still keeping the lead. Barndollar retained the lead for the first 15 minutes, running freely. Vanderllp sprinted and took the lead, which he kept for about live minutes. Then Booth went to the front and utayed there about seven minutes, setting a fast pace while there. Barndollar then leaped greyhound fashion Into the lead and kept it until the finish. Barndollar Is tall and a finished run ner. He seems to leap over the track and rurua with a free and easy gait. Booth runs with a short. Jerky strldo patterned after that of Alfred Shmbb, the noted English distance runner. He la short and s'.ocklly built- Vanderllp Is also tall with an easy-going. ground-covering stride.

The bright sunny day brought out the baseball fans and started an agita tion for a baaeball team for Vancouver this season. Vancouver has been in the Trl-Clty Baseball League for several seasons, but this baa not proved satis factory, as the crowds after the first one or two games dwindle away to almost nothing and not enough money can be made to support the team. It has been suggested that an Inde pendent team be organized, to play any and all comers, and that this would create more Interest, as the teams would be unknown quantities. In the league, as soon aa the team plays around the series twice, the majority look at the scores and decide for themselves what team Is going to win and refuse to go to more games. If an Independent team Is organized. games can be secured with Camas. Ridge fleld, several Portland teams. Hood River. White Salmon and other places that can be reached by rail or water. Baseball excursions on small river steamers could be organized, as they have been In the past.
