every seir-respcctlng man should re

One of the -most pleating musical
events of the week was th recital
given in the college chapel on Thurs
day evening by the pupils of Miss
Harriet Esther Young. . Miss Young
has long been . recognized at one o'f
the most talented musicians in the
clyt and has met with marked suc
cess In her two years as a teacher ot
piano. This year she has a large class
and her gifts as a teacher were shown
In the success which her pupils met
with in their first recital ot the year
on Thursday evening, i Every num
ber on the program was well received.
Especially pleasing were the two
numbers played by the younger pu
pils of Miss Young. The charming
"Spring Duet" rendered on the piano
by Miss Maysle Penrose and Miss
Margaret Reynolds appealed to all in
the audience. The effect was similar
with the "Hunting Song" from Gur-
lltt, played by another small maiden
Miss Margaret Paxton. Walla Walla

LA dRANDE TEAMS WON
AND LOST LAST KIOtlT
La Grande won and lost at Pendle
ton last evening In two games of
basketball that teemed throughout
with free throws occaslonly numer
ous fouls on both sides, and in which
La Grande shone as superior In every
respect in one game, but outclassed
In the other.
The big game, the one which La
Grande followers entertained fond
hopes of winning, was captured by
the local club girls from the Pendle
ton high school by a score of li to
10. The latter team won a tie game
here recently by a score of 6 to i
The La Grande club boys were not
o fortunate, for with but little prac
tice and no actual experience on-the
floor, went against a team of state
championship caliber, which out
classed the locals in many phases or
the game. Don Scott went out of the
game because of injuries, after the
first half and was replaced by Ber
nle. McMIcken displaced caytor i
r.,.d in the second half. The
change In line-up failed to help mat
ters much. However, in the last of
the second half the La Grande boys
dropped their defensive tactics and
became more aggressive with the re
suit that Chllders was able to score
th nnlv field goal made by La
Grande. From free throws, La Grande
netted 8 other points, while the final
score for Tondlcton at the end of the
game was 25. The Pendleton team
has had more experience, but La
r.rnnde has a chance of captnrinc
laurels with additional practice, which
will be had hereafter.
The girls' game was a sensational
one. with honors in favor of the La
nt-onrto nulntet throughout. Spectac
ular free goal throwing by Hattle Mc-
Murtay It resrfonsible for the docis
i... rnre. So closely did the Pendle
ton guards camp on the trail of the
La Grande forwards, that attempts i
field goals were few and far between.
Miss McMurray did, however, land
one field goal, as did also a Pendleton
player. With one field goal each, and
10 free throw goals for La Grande
and 8 of them for Pendleton, the fin-

al score stood 12 to 10 in La Grande's
favor.
The visiting team showed improved
form over the last game. For one
brief minute the almost perfect ma
chine work broke and Pendleton
scored a fiedl goal.' The patch was
healed instantly and from then on
Pendleton girls were either held to an
even break or outclassed. This was
especially true in the second half
when remarkably clever aggressive
work by Floy Massee kept the ball
continually in La Grande's territory.
Ethel Gulling was handicapped with
slight illness, but the score sheet fails
to record an error In her playing.
Ruby Thelsen played her usual splen
did game at center.
At forward Frances Massee and
Hattle McMurray were in the game
every minute and played an errorless
game.
A bad taste was given the girls'
game by persistent interference and
seemingly purposely ungentlemanly
conduct on the part of the umpire.
His actions smacked of babyism. .
The umpire who officiated for Pen
dleton" In the boys' game- was very
satisfactory to all.
A delightful reception was tendered
the visitors at the Armory following
the game.
