Union Team Wins Over M. I. A. Team
By Margin of One Poirt.
Union, Ore., Jan. 3. In one of the
hottest basketball contests staged on
the local court for tthe past few sea
sons the Union Athletic club were vic
tors over the La Grande M. I. A. here
Saturday evening by a margin of one
point the final score 'being 37 to 3'i.
The game was a fight from start
to nmsn wren neixner team ever lead
ing ithe other by a margin at more
than four points. The locals started
with a rush, re-.'.isterimr two Jieid
baskets in sh' r; order but the vistors
immediately tow a biv.re- and even
ed things up by scoring two in quick
succession fiom then in it was first
one team and then the other in the
lead. The first half ended in a score
of 24 to 20 in '.wr of the locals.
In the second half the visitors took
the lead and maintained it during the
most of that period until the last f ew
minutes of play when ithe locals
scored two field baskets leaving them
in the lead by a margin of one point.
The game was rough at times owing
to the intense rivalry existing be
tween the two teams. It was con
ceded by all the spectators to have
been the best contest ever staged be
tween the two teams. Stoddard and
Larsen played a fine game for tho
visitors and Farley and McCann reg
istered the most points for the locals.
The La Grande quintet had a little
the best of it in team work but lacked
the accuracy in shooting baskets
which the home boys possess.
, "We threw more field baskets than
Union but they outdid us on the free
throwing end of it" Manager Larsen
said on return of the . team from
Union. - "Stoddard threw four 'bas
kets, Peterson five, Ferrin three and
myself two and I threw eight fowls.
Goodbrod threw three for Union Far
ley four, McCann five and two fouls
and Goodbrod 11 fouls."

1915 REVIEW
OF THEsWAR
By Alice Rohe. h
United Press Staff Correspondent.
Rome, Jm. 3. When the orchestral
guns have 'boomed their last salvo and
the big asbestos curtain of peace props
on Europe's war-torn stage, doubtless
the world will begin to appreciate the
role played by King Victor in the
greatest tragedy of history.
Act II wa well under way before
Italy joined the players and King Vic
tor with his tuft of rooster feathers
appeared from the wings. He had
frequently been mentioned in the lines,
and no sooner had he strode upon the
stage than he and the veteran actor
Franz Josef came to blows.
"Verona will fall before Gorizia,"
shouted the Austrian.
"Gorizia first," retorted Victor and
the play went on.
"It was not until May of this year
that Italy declared war on Austria.
Immediately the Italian General Staff
outlined the following land program
1. An aggressive, systematic opera
tion on the mountainous northern
frontier, Trentino and the Carnic Alps
long fortified by Austria, designed
ly to make an Austrian invasion of
Italy easy while standing impregn
able against Italian invasion.
2. An offensive on a large scale
against the valley or the Isonza which
barred Italy's way toward the Julian
Alps on the East and the Istrian pen
insula to the South.
The naval program was this: De
struction of Austrian commerce on
the Adriatic and adjacent watei's and
the bottling up or destruction of the
Austrian fleet.
On land today Italy faces the New
Year as the only one of the Allied
Powers whose main army is firmly
entrenched on the soil of an enemy.
On water the Duke of Abruzzi's fleet
is supreme. The Austrian main fleet
refuged in Pola harbor, refused the
Italian challenge just as the German
fleet defies the British in the Kiel
canal. Like Germany, Austria is un
able to give safe convoy to her own
commerce. .
With an army of more than 2,250,
000 men in uniforms with reserves of
1,750,000 men between 18 and 38 yet
to be called to the colors; with abund
ant equipment, especially heavy artil
lery; backed by a splendid industrial
mobilization capable of feeding muni-tions-for
any emergency, Italy looks
to the future with the utmost confi
dence. This feeling was vividly re
flected in the recent utterances of
Baron Sonnino, Minister for Foreign
Affairs, in the chamber, in which he
announced not only Ita-y's agreement
with the Allies not to conclude a sep
arate peace, but her puni te to extend
the campaign across the Adriatic in
jupport of stricken Serbia.
' In answer to th-j latter pledge, 50,
000 Italian trooos have already land
ed in Albnia whers pioneers are busy
at road-building nnd other means of
transport through the pathless moun
tains. Food and clothing by the shin
load are being usnz by the Italians
for the Serbian refugees.
Seven months of fighting along the
lines of the General c,.af's plan of
campaign have produced far greater
results than the daily communiques :
have indicated. On the ironzo front
the offensive has rache-l the stage
where an Italian occupation of the,
entire Istrian peninsula, as well as
eff'ctive thrusts Northward and East-
ward, is 'believed to be possible eaivy
in 1!,'10.
The ?.orthern campaign, in "the
Trentino and 'Camic regions, has
closed with the object attained. After
months oi tho severest and most dif
ficult mountain warfare, heroic strug
gles on precipitous battlegrounds, the
Alpine troops, Bersaglieri antl infantry
with heavy artillery, somewhat drawn
up the mountainsides with "ropes, have
battled f .- fort into dust, storm
ed and cap. hithotto impregnable
Austrian .-.3, and consolidated
the conqL,..ed crags and valleys
against a successful counteroffensive.

her the city of Verona before Italy
could reach Gorizia. are now closed
against her with double har and lock.
Weeks of desperate fighting against
terrific odds were sometimes required
by the Italians to take a single for
tress or position in this phase of the i
campaign. I
While this waj. going on, the second
ltart of the General Staff plan was ,
being executed in the Isonzo valley. '
On June 2 King Victor's armies cross-'
td the? Isonzo. On June 9, Monfalcone
'ell to Gn. Cadorna. Two days later
t radisca had succumbed and the Aus-;
,.1'ians retreated to Goriza. " On Julv '
the bridgehead at Gorizia was
reached by the Italians, where for five
months the ebb and flow of battle had
so i'ted the soil with Italian and Aus
trian blood. A general advance over ,
the entire front from Tolmino to Mon-1
falcone July 22 still four--! Cadorna's
troops before Gorizia locked in the
death struggle. '
Gorizia's loss would mean a severe ;
blow to Austria and all means are .
employed to defend it. Rcinforce
r.ients were brought from Galicia, and
it was only the timely arrival of Ger-'
j; .n regiments on the occasion that ;
saved the Austrians from disastrous
rout in the sector north of Plava. I
During the latter days of November,
the Austrian resistance at Gorizia be-!
gan to weaken. December 1 found !
the city invested from three sides, the ,
surrounding fortresses pounded to :
fragments by Italian howitzers and '
the town defended by only a single line j
o"" ranches, Italian shells of heavy'
c ) .bre were plouding the streets. I
The fal of Gorizia would give Gen-1
ernl Cadorna's troops access to all
the nads leading toward Villach to
the Norf,, Laibach to the East, and
Trieste o the South.
