UNIVERSITY OF OREGON VOLUME 11 EUGENE, OREGON, SATURDAY, FEB. 19, 1910 No. 32 TWO GOOD GAMES WITH IDAHO FOR NEXT WEEK TEAM THAT DEFEATED WASHINGTON TO PLAY HERE Comparative Scores Indicate Close Game. Both Teams Have Been Defeated by Pullman. Manager lurry announces that Idaho vvi.ll play two games ol basketball here on Wednesday and I lutrsday of next week. Idaho and Oregon are pretty well matched this year. Both have been defeated by the Pullman team which played here some time ago and both have materially improved since that time so th.at the prespects .oc good for a couple of live games. Albany High School, which defeated Hugcne at the first of the season will play the preliminary game each night with Ktigctie High and these games in themselves should prove a good draw ing card. Manager Terry is greatly pleased with the interest which has been shown in this branch of athletics this year. The line floor and excellently arranged spectators' gallery makes each game a pleasure to both spectators and partici pants. Basketball has been handicapped heretofore with kick of floor space for practice. As a result, since the sport was abandoned last year on this ac count. a team has been developed from practically green material this yeai a..,, has played creditably considering the small amount of practice t ,j nave had.

OREGON PLAYS BETTER, BUT LOSES ONCE MORE ROUGH CONTEST GOES TO WILLAMETTE BY 20-9 SCORE Preliminary Between Eugene and Portland High Schools Is Good Exhibition.—Goes to Eugene. shown in tlui playing of the 'Varsity team last night, the game went to Wil lamette with the score 20 to 9. It was replete with fouling and roughness, and while therei was some rather spectacular backet throwing, there was rather too much ill feeling manifested to he a credit to either team. Jamison at center and Stein at forward both showed up well, and the team as a whole, while show ing lack of practice in basket throwing, played well. Not only the lirst squad, but the second also which was put in during the latter nart of the second half, showed lots of class. Willamette made nine goals from field and two from the foul line. Oregon negotiated one from free throws and eight from the field. Following is the lineup and score of points: WiLLA.M ETTE OREGON McMahan (Capt) 6 rf Holman 4 Mclntire 6 Minton 4 Shram 4 If rg lg Stine (Capt) 3 Moore 2 Jamieson Watson 2 Cockerline 2 The preliminary game between Lin coln High of Portland and Eugene High School was by far the better of the two. It was fast, close, clean and free from squabbling. Eugene kept the lead dur ing the greater part of the game, but neither side was more than two or three backets ahead at any time, due princi pally to the clever work of Vosper and Welch for Lincoln High and Epps and L. Koch for Eugene: The final score stood 27 to 2 in favor of Eugene High.
