Good weather Is ' promised by the
weather men for tomorrow afternoon
when that tribe of Indians from Elgin
known as, Billikens will Btrive valiant
ly to recover lost honors. Last Sun
day La Grande defeated Elgin, true
enough, but that Is no sien she can -do
It again. Elgin has practiced this
week, a condition not a fact before,
and if such a-thing is possible, she
will trim La Grande tomorrow. On
the other hand La Grande will go Into
the game with the express purpose In
view of making It four straight victor-
les, a showing that was not even ex
pected by the- biggest hopefuls. ' '.
Leave It to Elgin tomorrow to' get
back In old time form. The La Grande
lineup w ill not be changde materially
from last Sunday though it Is possible
there will be one or two shifts. i
A larg? crowd Is expected for Elgin
and La Grande always put up a fine
grade of ball, at least always Inter
esting, and it is sure a determined
bunch that Barnes wilL trot out
