Automobile Dealers Association of Oregon
have arranged the first Automobile Show
under their auspices, to be held in Port
land during the week of January 23rd to
28th, 1911. This show will take the form
of Opening Week, which is a new and
novel departure from previous exhibitions
on the Pacific Coast, but has proved very
popular and successful in Eastern cities.
The distinct advantage of each
dealer having ample space to properly dis
play his entire line is a very important one,
both to the dealer and visitor who will
thus have the opportunity of closest possi
ble inspection, while the impression gained
by a visitor in a call at a dealer's establish
ment is more lasting than a visit to an
exhibition space ' which can of necessity
have little or no individuality.

TAKE GAME HAKPILI FROM SUM
MERYILLE CLUB TEAM.
Score, of Forty-Six to Sixteen Tells
Story of Comparison.
With more show of real basketball
skill than the team has yet displayed
this year, the local high school Tflve
last evening administered a decisive
drubbing to the Summerville club
team, winning by the score of 46 to 16.
With excellent team work that could
be bettered only at times, and speed
that surprised even the home guard,
the youngBters from on the hill easily
ran away from -the visitors and long
before the game was over had a lead
that spelled Victory; - Summerville
fought gamely to the finish but ft was
only at rare intervals that they could
aue to the close
guarding of the La Grande guards.

finished the game, disarranging the
team work considerably, the score
would hae been vn more dcisiv'
than It was. The contest was one of
those affairs where there is something
stirring continually, with good passes,
fast dribbling and long throws the
batks kept the ball close to Bolton
and Eiynolda much of the time, and
though all the heme players need per
fection of their eyes, they got. enough
to give them a good lead. Bolton's
work at the register. La Grande's goal,'
and Reynold's floor work ' were per
haps the stellar attractions of the
game, and of course the element that
kept La Grande's score going ' up
while Ralston, and Lottes kept the oth
er score down at the other end of the
field. Captain Bohnenkamp fitted In
both ends of the game nicely,, though
he "was sick most of the time. Keller,
Crawley and Watson were on the floor
at short intervals and branded them
selves as comers at every turn.
The guarding of the two McKenzle
toys and Hamilton's floor, work, were
easily the most Important features ot
the visitor's game but their forwards
seldom had their combinations work
ing long enough to negotiate a goal.
Frank Earls refereed the contest,
and Hollister was umpfre.' Both filled
the bill well. ' ; ; j ; '
