In a faat game of basket ball the strong Pendleton five which played at La Grande recently, went down In defeat before the local high school team by the decisive score of 25 to 15. The visitors from eastern Oregon were not in their usual trim and showed a deficiency In skill and combination that Is usually evinced In their games. The news of the above game was received In La Grande with both Joy and the reverse. It will necessitate a game with Walla Walla, should the local girls defeat the Pendleton team at the next clash on February 7.
