Last T h u rsd ay evening o u r varsity played th e W il
lam ette U niversity freshm en in Salem as a prelim in ary
to the W .S .C . and W .U . conference gam e.
O verconfidence has lost the gam e for m any a team
and w hile it could not be done ic looked a little like
th e freshm en were going to hang one on us. O ur
tossers were not ready to go at th e tip-off and W il
lam ette got the ju m p th a t gave them confidence and in
th e h u rry to get g oing our fellows m ade m any poor
passes and often threw the ball directly into th e hands
of t h e opponent as well as ex h ib itin g a lot of poor bas
k et shooting. T h e first half ended 7 to 7.
In th e second half our fellows started a little m ore
determ ined and su re w ith G eorge and B uchert, fo r
w ard and guard respectively, scoring m ore consistently
w ith 10 points for G eorge and 13 for B uchert. T h e
gam e ended 29 to 14 in ou r favor.
On T h u rsd ay evening the varsity exhibited a little
b etter b ran d of ball when th ey defeated th e P ortland
Y . M. C. A. team here 28 to 19, b u t som ehow our
five d o n ’t seem to have th e old fight and d eterm ination
th at characterized the team in the early p art of th e
season. As in the gam e w ith the freshm en G eorge
failed to connect consistently w hile B uchert pulled
th ro u g h w ith 9 points and DePoe, who played a good
offensive gam e, was our high point m an w ith 10.
In a prelim inary gam e our hotshots w ere tak en into
cam p by the Salem S enators by a 19 to 26 score.
T h o u g h the Senators were an older and m ore e x p e ri
enced b unch of boys our first term ers played them to
a standstill and the gam e w as an y b o d y ’s till th e last
couple of m inutes w hen the S enators slipped in a
couple of e x tra baskets. T hose w ho took p art in th e
