At the end of the first half the score stood 16 to 16. The work of both teams during the second half was probably the most strenuous w it nessed on our floor this season, each team realizing that only by the best of team work and quickest movement would they be able to win. Chemawa would secure more trvs at the basket, but the ball failed to land, while the visitors seemed to be able on account of their height, to score. The game ended with a score of 26 to 28 in favor of the visitors. The next game will be played this after noon at 3:30 with the Mt. Angel team. This will be the second game of the season with this team. We lost the first game by one basket. The visitors are big husky fellows and a strong team.
