Walla Walla, Wash., Jan. 25.
(Special.) 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

combination that Is usually evinced In

local girls defeat the Pendleton team
at the next clash on February 7. By
hard practice the locals hope to reach
a stage of perfection that will aereat
the .Walla Wallans later in the sea
