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.

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:

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.
