Hogs and Fox Principal riajers on
, the TlsIUnj Aggregation.
Much to the surprise of specta
tors and the players themselves, the
M. I. A. ran away from the speedy
Imbler team last night scoring 45
points to 10 by Imbler. But for the
determined work of Hugg and Fox
the score would have been even more
one side, for these two men broke up
play after play. v
The Imblerltes broke In on the pas
sing and teum work of the home team
and as a result held th worW ma
chine In check fo awhile. The ML I.
A. lost the marvelous eye for goals
displayed In the previous gams and
at times did not keep together. When
they did, and when the wheels meshed
perfectly, scores were run up with
a regularity that' was surprising.
When the locals . can maintain
throughout an entire game the per
fection In passing and shooting that
they do about one- third f the game
the squad wOl be practically unbeat
able, .The gallery saw flashes of as
fine basketball team work as one ex
pects from any amateur team. Hugg
and Fox, abetted by the other Imbler
players, held on ; like, leeches over
Holllster and Lindsay so that . the
star ' guard did not throw as many
goals as he did against North Pow
der, but he fooled the best of. them
and "hot the goals he did get from
&e most difficult angles. Lindsay's
team work and head work more1 than
, made up for. his slight loss of goal
eyes. Geddes got the greatest number
of goals, showing fine form In this
respect Geddes' dribbling is always
a thrlHlng feature of the games for
ho ,18 the trick down well.' Metcalf
was the mainstay at free throws and
got all that M. I. A. made under that
head. Bean at Center played even
with the stellar center from Imbler
and It was the Bean-Holllstsr-Metcalf
trlumverate that kept the ball In
close proximity to the La Grande
goal.
' Imbler has a better team this year
than last; Its primary fault last night
lay In not being able to handle the
ball with the accuracy displayed on
the home floor where passes are
shorter but Quicker. The "visitors
worked so hard to stem the tide of de
feat that the game was a thriller up
'to the last whistle. .
. Referee McKlnzle of Summervllle
applied the rules In such a way that
fast and furious basketball was pob
eible, but at no time did he permit
any exhibitions of rough axitlcs.

Aviator Curried About on Shoulders
of Crowds When He Struck
R. E. Reynolds, -who returned a few
days ago from southern California,
gives an interesting and graphic de
scrlptlon of how aviators land after
high flights.' Mr. and Mrs. Reynolds
were on the grounds when the late
Hoxsey landed from his Tecord-break
lng ascension of something over 11.-
000 feet People hugged the bird man
and carried him on their Bhoulders
in front of the grand stand and the
entire assembly of thousands caught
the excitement as well.
, Mr. and Mrs. Reynolds were not
present when Hoxsey mounted on his
wings. The bird man, was gone near
ly three hours though he was sighted
long before he reached the earth.
When in plain view of the spectators
he dipped the nose of the machine
and came straight down about 1000
feet and then glided off gracefully at
a less dangerous angle, and lighted
on tho grounds with perfect control.
The eight was & thrilling one, of
course. They had left Los Angefes
when Hoxsey was killed.
SOUTHERN FOOTBALL CONTEST
ENDS IN A TIE.
Next Friday night La Grande will
send a delegation of ball tossers to
Union boys and girls alike. This
will be the firBt contest but of town
for both teams and, the second game
for the girls of any sort. Carryalls
have been hired and the youngBters
await the day when the trip will be
The boys have not had any practice
for over a week and the girls longer
than "that, until last night .when the
girls had a short practice. The man-,
egement of the skating, rink ended his
practice of allowing the teams to
train at the rink over a wee ago,
and as there were no facilities else
where, the teams have gone without.
As It Is planned to get, intd the
high school gymnasium next week,
both teams can limber up before the
game with Union next Friday night
at Union. The Union girls are mys
teries but the boys have met the local
boys this year, and demonstrated per

carried away the prize. To show how
close the game and hotly contested

realize how hotly the game was con

the Cove boys are good losers and so
far have not found fault with the re
