Man for man the La Grande and Columbia college' teams may av erage equally, and friends of the high school believe that the locals can produce as much, systematic' team work as the visitors can.. Such be ing t.ie case,-the outcome should be a tosa up, and If the usual 1912 bas ketball Is carried out by the locals, and tne referee will apply basketball rules, and frustrate rough house tac tics, the margin between the scores, one way or the other will not be over twp field baskets. t The contest, which no. doubt will be brilliant, starts at 8: ?0 prompt. Early seating of visitors should ,be the rule as late comers may not get the best seats.1 1 Storm, the diminutive daredevil for ward for Columbia college, is not un- known locally, having played here with Westen normal about three years ago.

Further, It was argued, the amount of stock in the county is being cut down year by year owing to the lack of range, and farmers with hay to sell thus find their market curtailed.

Th s change n Itself s not vital, but it la made in order to make possible on small . grounds an extension of territory sin which' the forward pass may bo used. A zone of ten yards' width beyond the goal lines Is established. The pur pose of this Is to provide ample space fnr pYeriitlnn nf the forward oass, and BCorlng on a pa8g mau-e acroa8 the goa, ne ,nto thls zone i permitted.

On a klckoff the ball, instead of W In nlnv in the center of the field, will be put in play from .the. forty- yard line of the- team kicking off. Taking into consideration the shorten ing of the field and this change in the rules the klckoff distance is lengthen ed by five yards. , The field judge Is eliminated, The head" linesman hereafter will keep time and be judge of offside plays in the line of scrimmage. , ' The number of men allowed on the side lines, now three, will be reduced to one for each team.

Among the attractions of the week that drew a big house was that of George Spears, fancy billiard shot and pool artist. ' He was seen In action at tne O Connell parlors Thursday night in a match with Rox Grlubler, champion billlardlst of Montana, who got but three or 1 four turns at . tho ivories while Spears was running a count of 300. ' Grlebler registered 4& points in the meanwhile with three turns at it. .. Spears' biggest run was 78, and his second best was 72. He did not regis ter his 100 or no count for the reason that It was so plainly evident he could have walked himself tired around the table once lie got the ivories rolling right.v Following his stellar perform ance on the billiard table, he executed some difficult cue and finger shots with the pool balls. . Spears Is going to locatd at Wnlla Walla,' operating a wholesale billiard supply house and he will also return La Grande within a week or so and no doubt will give another of his en tertaining demonstrations.

That match has fallen through, but develop ments huve arisen from the negotia tions : which assure Durnan several races this year.
