SHOW PROMISE
HIGH SCHOOL QUINTET GETS
INTO ACTION. .
Chief Problem Facing Squad Is the
' Development of a Center.
La Grande high school basketball
tossers hit at their stride last even
ing and ran away from the alumni
five in a practice game a the high
school gymnasium. The final score
was 19 to 9. Inaccuracies and dis
creoancies in passing and imperfect
shooting such as handicaps a quintet j
early in its year's work, kept the
score down greatly for the scholas
' tics really out-footed and out-brained
. the hastily-recruited alumni fquad.
As the season is to open in scholastic
circles next Thursday evening against
Joseph high on the local court, the
game last night was opportune as
it gave the squad much needed drill
ing. Barring the center, the team
is much the same as last year and
will uickly take on perfection wit
ness last night. The clever Morris is
not in school this year and Coach
Olsan will develop a new ' center
and has selected Walter Bean as the
material to work on. Bean is not
new in the game and improves daily
and will no doubt fill Morris' shoes
with satisfaction as soon as experi
ence is his. He played a nice game
at the pivot last evening. Schofield
and Carpy officiated at the forward
positions for the high school last
night and though both showed lack
of accuracy in shooting, indicated
that they will be able lo score in any
game, for both are fleet of foot and
smooth in their team work even this
early. Coach Olsan worked out
three guards against the alumni
opening the game with Courtney and
Rosenbaum, and sending Proctor in
for Courtney in the second half. All
the guards are small men and the
roughness prevalent last evening was
not propitious to their best efforts.
On the whole the team has a promis
ing future but is not yet at .its regu
lar stride for the season is about to
open.
"Sticks" Woods "kicked off" for the
alumni, Ralston and Lee Reynolds
officiated at the guard --positions and
Willard Carpy and Woods and A.
Bean played forwards for the alumni.

Homer .Jamieson, ex-University of
Oregon all round athlete and pitcher
on the La Grande and Pendleton team
of the Western Tri-State league, will
get a try-out with Nick Williams'
Colts in the Nortwestern league next
season. . He was signed yesterday,
by Williams.
Jamieson began his baseball career
in the Portland high school at short
stop and was one of the best academic
players in the state. When he en
tered the university, "Father" Tom
Kelly, quick to see his ability and
knowing the value of a southpaw
first sacker, switched him to initial
bag which was his regular position for
four years. He began pitching as
the result of a shortage in the 'col
lege twirling staff in time of emerg
ency and performed so brilliantly that
he took up mound work. While- at
college he won his letter in baseball,
basketball and football and was cap
tain of the two former teams."
At the conclusion of his college
career, he worked a little in the
Washington state league and was also
given a try-out with the Seattle
Northwestern team and the Venice
tigers. During the first year of the
Tri-State, he was signed by Boise but
failed to make good as a twirler and
finished the season at first base with
La Grande. He was signed by La
Grande again last season and was
counted on of the premier pitchers
ci the league. When La Grande
blew up, Pendleton signed him but he
had but indifferent success here and
at his own request was released. He
