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.

Further Sharp
Cutting of Egg
Quotations Occur
PORTLAND, Jan. 29 (fl? 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.
There is a good demand for coun
try killed lambs. Trade In general
continues favorable for country killed
calves but hogs' appear a trifle easy.
Bull beef and tanner cows holding
S.wp.
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.

cast side farmers' wholesale market.
Sales wero generally $1 crate but real
quality sold $1.25 crate. Everything

ness with most sales 60c box.

tables sold generally 36c lug. '
