LOCALS WIN FIRST GAME.
Clean But Fast CorWt Sbona Weak,
nesses and Features of Locals. ,
Registering a farlly decisive mar
gin, La Grande opened Its basketball
career with a victory against the
snappy' Union high school team last
Bight at the rink. Over confident of
any easy time of It, the La Grande
squad came face to face with a ma
terial fact shortly after the whistle
blew, and though Union never gained
a lead, and scored but eight points
' to La Grande's thirteen, It was a con
test in which the Intense Interest was
manifest until the end. Union has a
nifty little team especially clever on
short, rapid passing, and caught the
right cue at the first whistle. Where
. the La Grande players reBort to the
, slower but longer passes In team
work, the visitors pulled off a snappy
short pass that for a time augered real
; 111 for the. locals. By stiffening them
selves and turning their attentions to
defensa-more than the aggressive, the
locals were able to come away win-
' ners. ; ; ' J . .
The game was the fourth time the
;, team has been together this year, and

sort of stuff In them. Their signals are

In various other ways, the boys dem
onstrated that they yet have a lot to
learn. Occasionally the home young
sters showed streaks of team work
and perfection that ended Jn scores
but they have not gained the point

element that goes to make a team,

chief shooter though Reynolds, Boh

sistance. The officials were Henderson and
Currey referee and umpire and Frank
Earla time keeper. The game
practically void of fouls and the
clanllness of the contest Indicate.:1
that the two teams are to meet in
friendly though rival terms again. For
interest, speed excitement and good
natured rivalry, the contest was par
excellent. . 1

by Coach Carruth as the result of the
girls' tryout Friday evening. He Is
very much pleased with the showing
that the girls made. While the two
teams were very evenly matched, the
players who won out last evening
will have to play the game all the time
to prevent others from taking their
positions on the regular squad, later
on, so keen Is the competition.

INTERPRETATION 'OF RULES.
Chicago Critic Points out What Allow.
ances Can be JIude This Year.
A Chicago crltis speaking of the
new rules In basketball has this to
say: . . . . ., , . ' ,
The center man may Jump out of
the circle as soon as the ball Is put
in nlay w S5 c; the vum- must
touch the ball before it can be played
by anyone else. .As the heel is a part
of the foot, he may turn on the heel
as well as the toe. A man who' Is
stand jng still when he receives the
ball may step with one foot In any
direction, but the remaining foot must
1 bo kept in position, , There are two
situations; (A) The player is stand
ing still when he receives the ball.
(B) ; The player is in motion when
he reclves the ball. ;
In the first case there are two pos
sibilities: (1) He may pass the
ball to another player In which case
he may step one foot In any direction,
but the rear or pivot foot must not
leave the floor until the ball has left
his hands. (2) He may 'throw lor
a goal--ln which case he may step,
not Jump, one foot in any direction,
and he, may then raise one or both
feet from the floor as he throws, pro
vided tbeL ball leaves his hand before
either foot touches the floor again.
in the second instance, if the player
i3 In motion when he receives the ball
he may do one, of two th'ngsiv (i)
Flay the ball In any one of the two
ways mentioned, when he must dis
pose of the ball before the foot that
was on the floor when he receffed the
ball has touched the floor again; or
(2) , He may 'stop as soon as possi
ble" and then play the ball as if he
had been standing still when he re
ceived it. !

HERE AXD THERE.
Many of the .local sports have been
on a wild goose chase this week with
varying degrees of success.
In "Red" Henderson Union has a
fair and competent basketball official.
He has that peculiar gift of adminis
tering justice without violating or. in
fringing the "spirit" of the game,
which requires tact of the first water.
Many can apply the rules of the came
literally but few can decide it judi
ciously and as the makers intended it
should be.
If basketball games were all like
the boys' contest last night, it would
soon become a greater winter sport
than it is. Swift, snappy and exciting
yet not Intentionally rough therein
lies the features which appeal to the
average fan.
Next week will see the greatest
three-department shoot ever held in
this city, according to the promoters
when the Conrad blue rock, rifle and
pistol ranges open on the plains near
the hospital.
La Grande has just about twelve co
eds who vie with each other for bas
ket ball honors the result is that out
of the dozen five will be developed
who are actually good, for without
Btlff competition few quintets become
successful in winning games.
The L. D. S. squad through its man
ager Waldo Geddes Is making arrange,
ments for a game at Union next week
and Cove is to be brought here soon
after. The M. I. A. has its wires out
meet school teams only.
Dave Brischoux the hound fancier
took a pack of five canines to Teloca
set today and will turn them loose on
some coyotes that are bothering the
ranchers in that section.
The Blue Mountain Association met
Thursday evening. After the business
had been attended to the members en
joyed the first gym work that they
have had in their new quarters.
R. B. Hamilton of Burns, Oregon, a
former 0. A. C, man has just arrived
to go to work In Sllverthorn's drug
store. Hamilton is an old college bas
ketball player and well known to the
many 0. A. C. boys of La Grande.

JOHXSON IN GOOD FORM.
His Work Out in Chicago Shows His
Real Class Despite Bear Stories.
Chicago, Dec. 17. (Special) Walter
Eckersall writing in the Tribune this
week, says on the J. Johnson work
out there Tuesday:
.Not since his championship battle
V."iiIi.'.'Jiiu J. Jeiiries at Reno has
Jack ; Johnson, world's heavy weight
champion, taken such a strenuous
workout aa he did yesterday at O'Con
nell's gymnasium while preparing his
sparring ipartner, Walter Monahan,
for his six round bout with George
("Kid") Cotton at PHWburg on Dec.
20. . The big negro champion . went
three fast rounds with Monahan, and
apparently Jack has not lost the clev
erness and speed which have made
him one of the greatest lighters
known to the prize ring.
Between rounds, Johnson took out
time enough' to emphatically deny
that he a matched to meet the winner
the Langford-Jeanette fight, which
will be held In Paris some time In
February. If the match has been
made, according to reports circulated
yesterday, then It is all news to John-
Son, who said he had not heard a
word from the other side In regard
to such a match, and he also said he
will not fight with either of these
men in Europe.
"Believe me. I am too wise to let
them hand me a lemon over there,"
Jack said in talking about this fight.
"When I go to Europe in April it is
