A. basketball ' .quintet last' night -when the team da- 'feated the mighty Union Federals in the Yt M. C. A. gym, and to add un , defiled sweetness to the occasion from a La Grande standpoint, the M. I. A. ..-.. girls nosed out at the tape of an ex citing niateh between the suffraget nd made ft double-headed vic : tory or La Grande out of double headed fame. The dregs of the gob . lt X defeat were swallowed by both Union boys and girls with but little grimacing, and the 124 members of 'the-Union party went away sick ct ' - heart, 'tis true, but albeit with digni ittf led bearing. In spite of the most intense rivalry, ' the Union : people V come and, went, .rubbed elbows with strangers and were jammed , in the ; mad rush to get standingroom at the 8ym. yet not during the whole even ijtg wh there a time when either host oi. guest behaved other than ladies and gentlemen should behave. The 1 ructions that- sometimes come undsr . ' th heat of battle were . pleasingly missing. . , : t, The Union girls took an early Jeud iff the M. I. A. girls and with Amy Hibberd of Union doing sensational liasketshooting, Ihe. Union girls had ' little worry. But, just before" the curtain -was to be rung down on the scene, with La Grande in the -, rear, a new basketball heroine jumped into .'the limelight .in the shape of Miss -Jennie A ins worth. Blanch Clark . started the rally with a pretty bask et, and then ' Miss Ainsworth threw , three in the twinkling of an eye, and the young lady had : grabbed defeat and hurled.it afar, leading her col leagues through the gates of victory, as-the final whistle sounded. : . Boys Show Vim. The boys were the main attraction, of course. Upon the outcome depend ed the championship of the two towns nd, largely, the championship of Eastern Oregon, though there remain other contenders. ...V .1.': The crowd was so Immense that sheer numbers shunted tt on the play ing floor, a floor new to both teams and they were : therefore on equality. Yet this -was disadvantage to both, equally, and the teams made the bent of it, Except for some brilliant shots for baskets, there was nothing to giva . class to the playing, and the tre mendous excitement that threatened to tear tho roof off the building re sulted from the free for all scrambles and eyelash attempts at baskets. It was a squirming, twisting, wriggling , mass of legs and arms and out of . the melee occasionally came a bask et. It may not have been much basketball but it furnished excite ; ment plenty of it Union threatened seriously to over take a substantia : lead the locals c earned early, when they got together : . late in the game and shot some splen dld baskets. La Grande stopped it by opening up momentarily and the eleventh-hour Union rally died in the effort. The officials ruled with jus tice to all, so far as that Is possible.

To John the whole affair seemed like a dream.
