Precedent remains unbroken the
M. I. A. basketball quint still has the
high school's , goat and though for
about two-thirds of the game at the
high school gym,, last night they
played no better or with any . more
degree of suretyln all phasesof the
game, the club five ran away with
a fine spurt of speed at the last.' Five
minutes before the game was over
the score was 14 to 16 in favor of the
M. I. A. but about the time the M. I.
A. whipped up, the high school w.'nt
to pieces and with one or two ex
ceptions lost their heals entirely.
The one-sided score does net for an
Instance repres nt the interest of the
game. ' '
Bolton tingled the scoring machlna
first with a clean throw from the field
and for eight minutes both' teams
struggled nip and tuck for any ad
vantage, but as the first half wore on
the club players pulled away and
ended the flr3t canto 6 to 14. Inter
est . was keen throughout and the
bunidling rang with the cheering. It
was easily anybody's game at the
stage the relapse came and while the
locals lost their unison the M. I. A.
got together with telling effect.
Chllders was the big scoring mach
ine for the club. It was his clever
he had found his real position and
held Bolton down remarkably well.
Lottes, for the high school, was the
maBter of Lindsey, th il. I. A. for
ward who heretofore has show up
brightly in .. all games. Lindsey got
one .basket In the first half but with
Lottes' superb guarding in the second
he didn't even get close to the. bas
ket Bolton Out of Game.
Early in, the second half Bolton
fell and sustained a severe sprain of
his ankle, taking him out of the game.
Ciawley substituted. The latter shot
two over one-handed shots that were
marvels and the youngsters branded
him as a comer. ,
M. I. A. Foul Freely.
All but two of the fouls called were
on the M.. I. A. players Metcalf is
credited with four, Oeddes with three,
Bean with one and Lindsey with two.
Bohnenkamp transgressed once-and
I)ttes one.

New York, Feb. 25 The fight of the

the match between Packy McFarland

rove to be. The bout overshadows
the Wolgast-Knockout Brown en
counter scheduled for this city, on

Fixing their claim on the fact that
they have defeated all the teams they
have played from this county, and In
addition to the fact that Baker and
P:ndleton have both refused to meet
the local quintet, the girls basket ball
team of the high school has Issued a
I claim of Eastern Oregon champions
and the members are carrying a chip
on their shoulders, which spells the
championship unless it is brushed
away. Pendleton, It is conceded, is
not well represented in the girls'
game this year while Baker ia the
other chief out of the county con
teder. But the point has arisen that
Union defeated Baker on Union's floor
and La Grande defeated Union on the
Union floor which by the comparative
method of icasuiuug Is prooi ttuiticient
even though there has been no game
played.
But regardless of the victory on
paper, the local management was flat
ly denied the privilege of playing the
Baker team and consequenly with
Cove's scalp dangling at their belts
they have just claim to their exalted
claims.
This is the first time in years, If
not in history of girls' basketball
that La Grande has enjoyed this dis
tinction. She has excelled in track
and in football but never have the
La Grande girls' been able to lay a
