played in La Grande this year was
staged at the L. D. S. Amusement hall
hetween Imbler and La Grande in the
M. I. A. League last night. The game

soon settled down to a fine exhibition
of basketball. Imbler commenced the
scoring and kept it up during the.
first half. Stringliam scoring the
most points during this iut of tht
game. La Grande failed to connect
with any gieat deal of luck in shoot
ing. This half ending U! to 17 in fa

tion of pulling a little better team
work and a great deal less of the
rough stuff hoping at the same time
that luck would be with them in go
ing through the steel. This started
out with enthusiasm high among tin
spectators as neither side seemed to
have tho better. Kerrin commencei.

Things commenced to look mighty
desperate for La Grande. A switch in
their lineup by Manager Larson
