Page Six; rprjr-l ES GRANDE EVENING OBSERVER, HA GRANDE, ORE, Friday, January 29, 1932 WINGED-M QUINT I READY FOR GAME ! 'f ' ' ' - v Portland Basketball Team v. to Meet Owls at Union f. at 8 O'clock Tonight- ') The Wlnged-M basketball team, ylth 73 games played this season two at Walla Walla with the Stand ard Oil quintet Wednesday and Thursday nights, arrived in La Grande today en route to Union, where tonight It will meet the Jack Allen Owls of La Grande. The game is to bo called at 8 o'clock In the Union gymnasium, following a pre liminary starting an hour earlier. Tho contests are sponsored by the Union commercial club. ;: The Owls team is one of the strongest In Eastern Oregon, with six victories out of eight games pluyed with representative fives. ; However, the team that will rep resent the Multnomah Athletic club rates as one of the strongest In the Pacific northwest. l- Tho following news story from Portland tells something of the Wlnged-M prowess: -'; PORTLAND, Ore., Jan. 20 (Spe cial) The team that will represent tho Multnomah club in Eastern Oregon this week will lncludo prac tically tho sanw players that made such a good showing on their re cent trip to British Columbia. The team that Coach Brooks has selected for the trip are light and fast. They will use a fast break and have a clever passing attack. Dale Cherry and Billy Kecnan will bo the most experienced players on the trip. Cherry several years ago played on the WlaJla Walla High school team that went to the na tional tournament and at that time was given fnatiitnrnl mention!: He la ter played with the Mill tnomah club team for four years, and last eeoson he was with tho Olympic club team In San Francisco but he re cently returned to Portland and joined the clubmen. Ho Is fast, a dead shot and a vory clever dribbler. Billy Keenan formerly played at tho University of Oregon. He re ceived most -of his early training under Coach Brooks before going to college. He is small, fast and one of the cleverest men on tho squad. Ray Dempsey, Len Yandle, Jim mio Reimer, Dick Applegate and Bud Green make up tho balance of tho traveling team, . Coach Brooks claims that these boys have devel oped faster than any group of boys that ho has ever had. Dempsey nnd Yandle have been dividing high point honors in the games they have played this season. Both are clever and deadly shots. Bud Green probably will bo used In most of tho games at center. He is not tall enough to get tho tip-1 off In most of the games but he Is ' a good defensive player and Is a j tuuuuwi, uiever nuur num. Jimmy Reimer Is tho midget of the team. He plays a guard posi tion. He majfes up for what he lacks In size by his speed and clever ness. Dick Applegate will be at the other guard position. Applegate has not been used very much In- scor ing plays as he is a great defensive player and bears tho brunt of the work In that department. BRUSHING UP SPORTS . . .

Further shnrp cutting of prices on eggs in the California trade indicates not only tlic depressing Influences in the mar ket generally, but the near approach of the season for cold storage input. Both San Francisco and ios An geles show further downward price revisions. In the north It is diffi cult to tell what the market is as each faction there and there ore several of them name their own quotations and have a following. , Locally there was no change In the price of eggs, at least openly for the clay. Some retailers were ablo to buy their needs direct from producers for luss than established quotations, a condition which continues to weaken the entire trade structure. Leading distributors commenting upon this condition say that it Is tho so-called independent producer, who does not market either through the co-ops or tho legular private distributors who 1b wrecking the trade price. , Market for butter was without quot able change for the day. On the open market cube sales were generally at tho quotation spread. Butterfut Is showing no changes whatever. While receipts of live chickens have decreased much since tho record low vulucs here were established, there appears sufficient for needs. San Francisco firms are still quoting 16c to Culifornlans for light weight hens H tho same firms and others. Slower movement of torn turkeys locally Is reported with qulto fair supplies received recently. Hens are less plentiful and move out well, gen erally ate lb. for Is.

B, -Very little activity is reported for onions both at tho source and in a H Jobbing way. Growers show a dispo S Hition to sell at $4 but there Is no established market beyond $3.50 at tho moment. Scarcity of comb honey is creating strength all through the Pacific northwest trade. Extra fancy has moved firm to $4 with fancy $3.76 case. Demand for Clackamas hothouse rhubarb has eclipsed offerings from tho Sumner section. Notes of wholesale trading: Artichoke prices aro again frac tionally lower in the south. Hothouse tomatoes are showing a slow movement everywhere on ac count of the weather. Spinach of quality is very scarce and firmer. There Is no pep whatever in the potato market situation and prices are sagging In spots. Imperial valley lettuce Is again showing a reduction of 25c case. Eastern cranberries aro still offer ing but aro alow around 16c lb. or $15 barrel. Not very good. Mexican peas are advanced to 18c unwilling to meet the full rise asked by brokers.
