The to the basket, so necessary In a mercury slipped to the 20 degree team of conference strength. The mark here lant night, and this dlHorganizallon was plainly evi- evident, but in spite of these facts it woa demonstrated that Oregon has the material for a strong team this year. The play ers are fairly accurate In their passing, and are very good in bas ket shooting, every man on the team being an accurate banket tosser. The : team Is heavy and powerful and as soon ae the necessary teamwork can be ob tained the University should show up well. The repular varsity team was used throughout the greater part of the game. Mllllgan and Hidings at forward, Edwards at center. McCormlck and Hally1 at guards, pluyed without change until the game had Jeen safely stowed away. Then Hummelt, Emmons, Reynolds; Eberhart, Chaslain, Oat and Epps were substituted. Mllll gan was high point man, annexing 11 of Eugene's 54 points. Hidings i ran second Willi 15. Hidings pluyed an excellent game on the floor, breaking up many Rose burg playB. but did not fleurn so high In tho scoring as he was kept cioseiy guarded. "Swede" Westergren. former U. of O. and all-coast star, and assist ant coach at Eugene this year, played a sensational - game for Koseburx. His long basket shots in the second half rully roused the uiuwu. 10 intense excitement. He swarmed all over the floor on de fense, covering im much ground as two ordinary players could handle "Hod" Turner, Roseburg athleilc coach, played an excep tional game at guard In addition to annexing several points in of fense.

Admission $1.00 Ladles Fret DANCE AT South Deer Creek Grange Hall Saturday Night December 31 GOOD MUSIC SUPPER In response to changing con ditions In the automtive industry,' the management or Dodge Iiroth-i era, Inc., initiated nearly two years j ago a comprehensive program of development and readjustment. Today, as the New Year ap proaches, this program of major improvement in both manu facturing facilities and -the com pany's product stands . complete. The period of transition success fully has been passed. At " forthcoming motor shows Ixxlge Brothers passenger cars in three price . classifications and many types of Graham Brothers trucks will' be displayed. These products are intrinsically built to Dodge Brothers standards; de signed and manufactured to at tain superb performance and ef ficiency, to be dependable and re liable. To those admirable quali ties, upon which the reputation of , Dodge Brothers is founded, have I been added the attributes or smartness, of style, of speed, of lifxury and comfort. It ha& been the undeviating purpose of the Dodge organization, through this transition, to incorporate into each of its products a generous measure of value as value is rutcd by the motor-buying public of 1928. We have taken time enough, and money enough; to make sure that our new products couple per formance and quality of appoint ment with an attractive contour. Tho yearof 1927 has been de voted largely to intensive develop ment of the new product, and to plant revision designed to accom modate a large production of our diversified line, all of which has gone on with no interruption of current business or service to our car owners. . The company's financial re sources have been entirely ade quate for the completion of this program and with its competitive position materially fortiried, I be lieve that Dodge Brothers, Inc., is now fully, prepared, for one of tho biggest years in its history and in all probability the biggest year.
