CAN AUTOMOBILES BE KEPT

WILLAMINA. YAMHILL COUNTY. OREGON. THURSDAY, FEBRUARY
CONFECTIONERY CHANGES
HANDS
In what proved to be the fastest
game of the season, played on
the local floor, thè Orange W.
boys trounced the Sheridan toss-
ers 13—12. The game was filled
with thrills and tense moments
from beginning to end.
Matocha, Right Forward, was
the principal hoop thrower for
the Willamina boys, scoring
three field goals.
Farnham,
Center, scored one, and Boyer,
Left Forward, converted five
foul throws into points for the
locals.
It is difficult to predict the ef­
fect on the County Champion­
ship, if the boys had started the
season with the same fight and
pep they displayed in Tuesday
night’s game. Barring a few
poor passes, the boys were in
the game all the time. The five
man defensive game put up by
our boys proved too much for the
visitors.
Coach McClure for
some time, has been coaching
the boys on this system, and if
it is fully developed, it will
prove to be very effective in
preventing the opposing team to
score.
The W. H. S. girls’ team also
won their game by a score of
26 to 8. Marjorie Sherwin and
Zelda Lamson were the star
hoop throwers, the former se­
curing six field goals and the
latter three, besides the foul and
single point basksts each threw.
Our girls’ team is one in which

we should all feel a great
pride, as they have developed a
fine system of play, and so far
have lost only two games; putting
them in second place in the cham­
pion contest.
Prof. Pettit, Physical Direc­
tor, Linfield College, refereed the
games, doing good work, espec­
ially in the girls’ game.
Mention must be made of the
support given the teams by the
rooters, several of whom pre­
pared megaphones of the school
oblors, and used them continually
in cheering their teams on to
victory.

Salem.—When the legislature as­

of the session there was very little

unimportant bills had passed both
